However, the Bai family and his wife did not know about all this arranged by Lu Xinghe.
It had been two months since Bai Luoluo arrived in the capital. Seeing that the Lu family had not come to propose marriage, they felt a little panicked.
Didn’t you say it well before? Could it be that the Lu family has changed their minds?
But the Lu family held a high position, so of course they didn't dare to come and ask, so they could only ask Bai Luoluo.
"Luoluo, what's going on with the Lu family? Now two months have passed and I haven't seen any sign from them. Didn't they say that the third son of the Lu family wants to marry you?"
Of course Bai Luoluo knew that Lu Xingan wanted to wait until her grandfather came to the capital before coming to propose marriage. After all, her grandfather was the one who truly loved her.
But she didn't tell Bai's father and mother. Faced with their inquiries, she only answered that she didn't know.
When the couple heard this, their expressions changed.
"Has he changed his mind? I know that people from wealthy families will definitely look down on small families like us. You are the same. You can't even win over a man's heart. It's really useless!"
Bai Mu looked unhappy.
"These days, the news that you are going to marry into the Lu Mansion has spread. You don't want to sit idle in the courtyard every day. Even if you let the Third Young Master Lu carry you, you will be carried into the Lu Mansion."
Bai Luoluo looked at her in surprise.
"Mom, do you know what lifting means?"
Bai Mu said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just being a concubine? What else can it mean? Although the Lu family has only been in the capital for eight or nine years, it is extremely powerful. I heard that Princess Heyue's properties are spread throughout the Nanyuan Kingdom. , The family has a big business, when you enter the Lu Mansion, even if you squeeze some out of your teeth, it will be enough for our family to eat and drink."
Bai Luoluo's eyes turned red and she smiled self-deprecatingly.
She knew she couldn't have hope for her parents.
"No wonder grandpa wanted to sever ties with his parents before. I can completely understand now. Your existence will only become a stain in his old man's life!"
After hearing this, Bai's father slapped him in the face.
"You bastard! What are you talking about your parents!"
"Just telling the truth!"
Bai Luo looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with stubbornness.
Father Bai pointed at her and said with trembling fingers, "If your grandfather hadn't disowned his relatives, your father and I wouldn't have been a cabinet minister of the sixth rank now. If you were still facing your grandfather, don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter. !”
"If you don't admit it, just admit it!" Bai Luoluo said nonchalantly, "After all, I'm not your daughter, I'm still grandpa's granddaughter. At least he will never say anything like asking me to be his concubine."
When Father Bai heard this, he quickly pointed in the direction of the door.
"Get out of here, get out of here now!"
Bai Luoluo stubbornly raised her legs and left.
When she came to the street, she was a little confused and suddenly didn't know where she was going.
As misfortunes never come singly, a little beggar bumped into her and took away her money bag.
Bai Luoluo could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart, so she held her face in her hands and started crying.
Because he was worried that Bai Luoluo would be wronged in the Bai Mansion, Lu Xingan had been asking people to keep an eye on the Bai Mansion secretly.
After learning that Bai Luoluo was kicked out by Bai's father, he hurried towards Bai Luoluo's direction and found her crying with her face covered at a street corner. He quickly stepped forward to help her up from the ground and lifted her up. She held him in her arms for comfort.
After a long time, Bai Luoluo finally stopped sobbing.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
Lu Xing'an wiped away the tears on her cheeks with great distress.
"Why don't you go to Lu Mansion to find me?"
Bai Luoluo took a deep breath.
"I'm fine, just cry." She held Lu Xing'an's arm and showed a pitiful expression, "Sir, someone's money bag was stolen. Can you take me to dinner?"
Looking at Bai Luoluo, whose eyes were red and the tip of his nose was red, but still pretending to be strong, Lu Xingan felt as if his heart was being pulled by something.
"Let's go to Ruyiju."
"Yeah! I've heard for a long time that the food in Ruyiju is very special, but I never had the chance to try it. Come on, hurry up."
After saying that, she pulled Lu Xingan and ran towards Ruyiju, as if the person squatting on the street corner crying just now was not her.
Lu Xingan let her pull him, his face full of doting.
After dinner, Lu Xingan did not send Bai Luoluo to Bai Mansion, but to a house in Yong'an Lane.
This is a three-level house. Although it is not as big as the Lu Mansion, it is not shabby either. It is much larger than the Bai Mansion.
As soon as Bai Luoluo arrived, someone came out to greet him.
She was a little surprised and looked towards the courtyard. The people who were sweeping and tidying up the courtyard were all familiar faces from the Yunzhou Prefecture.
"Is grandpa here?"
The butler who came out hurriedly replied, "Back to Miss Sun, it will take some time for the master to hand over the general affairs of Yunzhou. It will take a month before he can arrive in the capital. Originally, the master said he wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to come here in advance. .”
Bai Luoluo ran into the courtyard with a smile.
Next, Bai Luoluo didn't go back to Bai Mansion, but stayed in the house prepared by Bai Zhiyuan.
Lu Xing'an was very busy during this period because he was about to take the scientific examination, but when he had some free time, he would come to visit Bai Luoluo at the house.
A month later, Bai Zhiyuan came to the capital, and the Lu family prepared a betrothal gift and went to the Bai Mansion where Bai Luoluo and Bai Zhiyuan were staying, and directly decided on their marriage.
Because Lu Xingan had to take the scientific examination, the wedding date was scheduled after the scientific examination.
Bai Zhiyuan readily agreed and prepared a lot of dowry for Bai Luoluo. Now that both his grandfather and grandson are in the capital, it is much more convenient to meet.
It happened that there was still some time left before getting married, and Bai Luoluo also changed his previous habit of being homeless and stayed at home quietly with Bai Zhiyuan, while preparing the things he needed for the wedding.
Father Bai and mother Bai learned that Mr. Bai had come to Beijing to take office and that the Lu family had proposed marriage to Bai Luoluo one day after Bai Luoluo's engagement.
The two of them were shocked.
Originally, there had been no movement from the Lu family for more than three months after Bai Luoluo arrived in the capital. They all thought it was hopeless, but they didn't expect that Mr. Bai would be transferred back to Beijing, and the Lu family would even arrange a marriage with Bai Luoluo in front of the old man.
They are Bai Luoluo's parents!
What does the Lu family mean by doing this?
"What a bastard! He actually arranged a marriage with the Lu family without telling us!" Bai Mu's teeth itched with anger.
Father Bai has a different view.
"Now that dad has been transferred back to the capital, it is probably the handiwork of the chief minister. Coming to the capital means there are more opportunities. As his sons and daughters-in-law, we naturally have to live with him. What do you think? "
Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"That's what my husband said."
So, the two of them tidied up a little, then took the gifts and led their son out the door.
But when he arrived at the door, Bai Mansion saw a carriage parked at the door, and his boss was hurriedly getting out of the carriage holding his robe.
"Master Wu, why are you here?" Father Bai stepped forward to greet him with a flattering look.
Lord Wu smiled happily and clasped his fists towards Bai's father and said, "Master Bai, it's such a happy event. Hurry up and pack your things and go to Jizhou."
In the past, he was the only one who tried to please his boss, but he had never seen Lord Wu treat him so warmly. Father Bai was a little surprised.
"Going to Jizhou? What happened?"
"This is the order from above. Don't ask, Master Bai. You have been promoted after all. Pack your things quickly, otherwise you will not be able to make it in time to take office." Master Wu said with a smile.
The Bai family couple listened.
Isn’t that the will of the superiors that the powerful Chief Minister meant?
Sure enough, that girl still worked. After serving as a cabinet minister in the court for many years, there was no possibility of progress, and now he finally has to pay off his hardships.
So, the two people, who still didn't understand the situation, packed their things and went to Jizhou, the farthest place from the capital, with their families after being praised by Master Wu.
A month later, Lu Xingan passed the Jinshi examination.
His marriage to Bai Luoluo happened in the second month after he passed the imperial examination, which was a double happiness.
But Bai's father and Bai's mother's family went to Jizhou, but they never had the chance to return to the capital.
Whenever he told others that his daughter had married the brother of the chief minister, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
After all, they don't think that after their daughter marries into a wealthy family, their son-in-law will watch his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family suffer in a barren place like Jizhou.
