Farmer’s Blessed Girl

At this time, Mrs. Chen was pulling Mrs. Bai to bring up the marriage of the two children again.

Although Mrs. Bai was very moved, she still didn't agree. The child's marriage was a big deal, and her husband and mother-in-law hadn't given her permission yet. Moreover, Da Lang fell ill right after he came back, so she hadn't had time to ask him what he meant.

Unlike Bai Erlang, who grew up in their doting, Bai Dalang was taken by Master Bai since he was a child, and he was sent out to study when he was a little older. Later, Mr. Zhuang was specially invited to teach for him.

When they were older, they were sent to the county school, and not long after, they were sent directly from the county school to the government school. Only because Master Bai often went out, he would go to the government school to see him every month.

Mrs. Bai seldom saw the eldest son. She loved him dearly, but also felt strange and in awe of him.

Unlike her dialogue with Bai Erlang, she could hold Erlang in his arms and tell him, or grab Erlang's ear and scold him, or search the money in his room and keep it for her;

But for Bai Dalang, she couldn't do these things, she came more to discuss with him.

After all, he is the eldest son, and Mrs. Bai cannot decide on his marriage alone, so she did not agree to it, but she also planned to go back at night to discuss it with Master Bai.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's impossible for the sister-in-law to stay here for too long. She brought her nephew and niece to see her, and she should go back in two days, so whether or not this matter should be settled must be decided.

In the end, when she went back at night, she only opened one shot before Master Bai refused.

Mrs. Bai was shocked, "When I mentioned it to you earlier, didn't you object?"

"Well," Master Bai replied, "I just suddenly remembered something. Dalang is going to be an official in the future. Our family doesn't have any contacts in the court, so I might not be able to help him, so I want to marry him an official. lady."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she couldn't help but sat up straight, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Is there anyone chosen?"

Master Bai: ...

He coughed uncomfortably, and said vaguely: "It's almost there, it's not decided yet, I'll talk to you when I make up my mind, but I'd better decline it, brother-in-law."

He said: "Our two families are already related. Whether we are married or not, it is his grandfather's family. Can this father-in-law's family be closer than his grandfather's family?"

Master Bai had an upright face, "So there's no need to make a kiss."

Mrs. Bai nodded, but she was also in a dilemma, "Then why refuse, my sister-in-law has mentioned it twice, and I didn't refuse the first two times."

Master Bai thought for a while and then said: "Just say that you went to the Taoist temple to calculate it. Dalang should not marry early, and he has to wait for another two years. It's not good for us to delay the child."

Mrs. Bai: "Then I have to go to the Taoist temple tomorrow?"

"Go, go," Master Bai said, "You can also take my sister-in-law up for a walk. It just so happens that Da Lang is sick. You can donate some sesame oil money to him, and let Master Tianzun bless him to recover sooner."

"That's right," Mrs. Bai said with a deep expression on her face, "This child has become ill like this as soon as he comes home. Don't you invite some sneaky things on the way?"

Master Bai didn't expect his wife to have such a strong radiating power, so he lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover himself and said, "You don't talk nonsense, it's strange, don't talk nonsense."

"If you don't talk about strange powers, then what's the matter if you let me go to worship the Lord Tianzun?"

Master Bai thought it was true, why didn't he count these two things together?

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Yes, what you said is right, just do as you said."

That's the end of the Bai family's matter, but the old Zhou's matter just started.

Man Baozang ate lunch at Bai's house, after afternoon tea, even dinner at Bai's house.

After dinner, the four of them sat together and chatted for a while, before Man Bao gave Bai Dalang the last injection of the day, and after prescribing the medicine, he reluctantly went home.

As soon as he got home, Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shiti sneaked into the main room and confessed to him with leniency.

After Lao Zhou came back from the village head's house in the afternoon and knew the value of the silk, he always wanted Sanya to go to Bai's house to call Man Bao back for questioning.

As a result, Qian stopped him in a daze, and had to wait for Man Bao to come back by herself. As a result, it was almost dark after waiting.

Old Zhou sat on the bed with staring eyes, "You really are getting more and more homeless. If it's not dark, do you still plan to spend the night at Bai's house?"

Qian patted him, "Keep your voice down, is that nice?"

The old Zhou Tou stopped his voice in an instant.

While pouring water for him, Man Bao said: "Father, what you said is contradictory. It's not dark, so how can you stay overnight?"

Qian Shi also stared at Man Bao, "Stop making jokes, your father won't beat you, be careful I will beat you."

Man Bao shrank her neck, she was really afraid of her mother.

Old Zhou Tou snorted and asked, "Let me ask you, how much is this silk worth?"

Man Bao said: "The ones for father and mother are all from the palace. If you sell them, you can buy them for fifty or sixty taels a piece. But if you want to buy them, they will probably cost one or two hundred taels, and you may not be able to buy them. "

Old Zhou covered his chest and said, "It's too black-hearted, why is this business so dark-hearted, and you've made so much money for nothing?"

Man Bao nodded.

"Then we can't sell directly to those who want to buy?"

Man Bao sighed and shook his head, "We tried it, those people don't believe it, and if they believe it, they don't buy it."

Old Zhou: "...why?"

"People who don't believe want to buy it, but they only buy it from those big cloth shops, and they don't believe it when we say it's gone forever; those who believe, they don't lack these fabrics at home, even if they lack them, they don't buy them from me. "

Now even Mrs. Qian didn't understand, and asked with old Zhou Tou: "Why?"

Man Bao said in an indescribable way: "Because the material is plentiful, the material given to me by the palace is not a secret in some people's back houses. If you buy it with me to make clothes, they may be laughed at when they go out to the banquet." , and it seems that selling imperial gifts is not very good..."

Man Bao whispered: "Bai Shan and I have checked the law books, and there is no express prohibition on selling imperial gifts, but there seems to be such a rule that buying and selling imperial gifts is against the law. Hit it, give me a warning, that's for sure..."

That's why she and Erya felt that the risk was too great and the benefits were too small, there was no need to worry so much about a pile of fabrics, so they let it go.

Anyway, these fabrics can be used as money. In the capital, there are many restrictions because it is a gift from the emperor, so why not take it out of the capital to use it?

After leaving the capital, who knows who Zhou Man is, and who knows that the thing in her hand is a royal gift?

Wouldn't it be enough to just say that the silk and satin are as good as the tribute?

Old Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, touched the satin with the back of his hand, and said happily, "It's a good thing I didn't have time to tell your mother yesterday that I should cut out the cloth and make new clothes, otherwise the two hundred taels would be ruined."

He emphasized: "One or two hundred taels!"

Good night
