Chapter 346
"Fifth brother is too eccentric, he wouldn't even touch his red cherry gun if I touched it, but let my cousin touch it."

Liu Shu suddenly said indignantly.

Xiao Fuyuan also saw that the two people in the middle of the yard stood together at some point, and Bai Zhaomei was patiently teaching Cui Cui how to play the red cherry gun.

The two smiled brightly under the clear autumn sky.

"Hold your hands like this..."

"It's so heavy, you are so powerful, it's as easy as holding a blade of grass."

"Just get used to it."

The wind sent the two talking and laughing.

As soon as Bai Zhaomei looked up and saw her younger sister and Liu Shu looking at her and Cui Cui, she quickly put away the red cherry gun, scratched her head and said to Xiao Fuyuan in embarrassment: "Sister, Cui Cui is curious about the red cherry gun, I let her touch it." ?"

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

This fifth brother, of course you decide on your own gun.

"Fifth brother, your red cherry gun, whoever you want to touch it." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.

Bai Zhaomei grinned. He used to only let his younger sister touch it, but today he let Cuicui touch it. The reason he gave himself was that Cuicui was a guest at home and he was too embarrassed to refuse.

"I don't touch my red cherry gun except for my younger sister. I let you touch it because you are my guest." Bai Zhaomei said to Cuicui.

"I'm also a guest, why doesn't Fifth Brother let me touch it?" Liu Shu shouted.

Cui Cui glared at Liu Shu, her face blushed again.

In the room, Mrs. Xu was chatting with Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Zhen and Tian Maimiao.

"I would also like to thank Madam for helping my shop in Huaicheng." The old lady Bai expressed gratitude.

"Hey, thank you for that. In the final analysis, your shop's satin is good, and you have a good eye for buying wheat seedlings, so you can be well-known in Huaicheng." Xu's heart is grateful, but his mouth is modest.

"Blessed is Sister Zhen. Her sons are all promising, her daughters-in-law are all filial, and she has a smart and beautiful daughter. No, Mai Miao is pregnant again, she must be a granddaughter." Seeing Tian Mai Miao's belly stretched out, Xu felt in her heart. Envious of Zhen's sons and grandchildren, how can she tell male and female, knowing that Lao Bai's family likes girls, so she deliberately said that Tian Maimiao Huaixiang is a girl.

Anyway, it is said that it is a girl, so that the happy atmosphere of the conversation can be brought about.

"Your sister is lucky. Mr. Liu has done such a good job, and he loves you very much." Mrs. Zhen also gave Mrs. Xu a business bragging.

Mrs. Xu was very happy to be praised by Mrs. Zhen, that's right!It is not the most enviable thing that her man has been promoted to the magistrate in such a short time. What is even more enviable is that Liu Hong does not take concubines, and does not even have a housemate. This is the only clean stream in Huaicheng official circles.

Xu said a few more words of blessing, and the topic turned to Bai Panmei.

"I heard from my lord that in the imperial examination tomorrow, we in Huaicheng must have a number one scholar, and the fourth child of your family is the one everyone is optimistic about." Xu said.

These words were not made by Mrs. Xu, but what Liu Hong often mentioned to her in private.

She was very envious, and she said how lucky Lao Bai's family was to be able to train a candidate for the No. [-] Scholar. Her family's Shu'er hired a famous teacher since she was a child, and now her studies are not as good as Erlang, who was enlightened halfway through.

The corners of Xu's mouth froze in worry.

"Ma'am, it's absurd. It's nothing to be the top of the list of scholars for a while. There are so many people in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. My sister Pan is just a nobody." Zhen said, having a premonition of what Xu would say next, and then thinking of Cui Cui, this must be a kiss for her fourth child.

"Sister Zhen is too modest. Even Zhou Daru of Huaishui Academy is optimistic about the fourth child. When your fourth child is admitted to the top prize, I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to catch him." Sure enough, Xu finally brought the topic to Bai Pan. sister's marriage.

"It depends on him. As parents, we can only remind him that we can't make decisions for him after all. We have to find something we like to live a comfortable life." Zhen Shi glanced lightly at You who was sitting beside him. Jingui, the guilty You Jingui hurriedly got up and carried Xiao Lang out.

Mrs. Xu nodded, and understood Mrs. Zhen's thoughts very well. I heard that the second child of the Bai family and his wife were at odds.

"That's the way it is, but parents are the ones who make the most of a marriage. Brother Bai, Sister Zhen, and Aunt Bai have a lot of experience, and the daughter-in-law chosen for the fourth child will not be too bad." Xu said, still thinking about how to propose to the Bai family. As for Cuicui's matter, I had already thought out a speech, but at this time I really didn't know what to say when it came to the marriage of the fourth child of the Bai family.

"What do you think of my sister? Is there a suitable person?" Zhen asked directly.

Rather than guessing here and there, it is better to directly clarify.

Mrs. Xu thought carefully and said: "To tell you the truth, sister, what do you think of my niece Cuicui?"

Zhen's heart came to a realization, and she really wanted to marry her fourth child.

Cui Cui's crisp laughter came from outside the yard.

Judging from the appearance, Cui Cui's bright appearance is very pleasing, and her temperament is not weak, which really meets the Bai family's aesthetic standards for choosing a daughter-in-law.

But I still have to hope that my sister likes it, right?

Besides, Mrs. Zhen knew very well that once she married Liu Hong's niece, she would be tied to the same boat as Liu Hong.Mrs. Zhen understands the reason why she can't be alone in the officialdom, but her son was bound in advance before entering the officialdom, so it's not fair to Pan Mei.

It's okay if the ideas are consistent with Liu Hong's, but if they are not, then it is an enemy.

"Cui Cui is beautiful and majestic, she must be a good one," said Zhen Shi.

"My eldest aunt's family is simple. My brother-in-law has just been transferred to Qingyang County as the boss, and he is honest and straightforward. My eldest aunt is not a troublesome person. Cuicui has an older brother. Although she is the youngest in the family, she can She is not pampered at all, she learned to be a housekeeper since she was a child, except that she is not good at sewing, she is good at everything else." Mrs. Xu told Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai about the situation of the eldest aunt's family.

"If you say that you have no selfish intentions, you don't believe it. My master loves this niece the most. He can't bear to be wronged after Cui Cui gets married. He wants to find her a husband's family with less rules. After thinking about it, your fourth child and Cui Cui Cui's age is not too big, so it's the most suitable." Xu pointed out that he valued the family style of Lao Bai's family, and only the magistrate wanted to get married.

Zhen thought for a while, she couldn't directly agree to this matter, nor could she directly refuse.

In the end, I had to ask Bai Panmei for her opinion.

But the old lady Bai spoke up, and said: "Madam, it is the luck of the fourth child that Mr. Liu is able to take a fancy to our family. It is not easy to discuss marriage. Our family does not approve of blind marriage. In the end, both Cui Cui and the fourth child have to take care of it."

The old lady Bai didn't really want to get married to the magistrate's family. She thought differently from the Zhen family. Bai Panmei would go to the capital in the future, and she hoped that Bai Panmei could find a capable Yue family in the capital.

It's not that she has a mind to climb high, but she clearly knows that Bai Panmei has ambition and talent, but she also needs help to perform better.

But the magistrate's wife came to the door in person to say goodbye, and it would be too pity to refuse directly. The old Bai family's face is not so big as to directly reject the prefect.

"Ma'am, if we refuse directly, it will show that we don't know how to be flattering. If we directly settle down, it will be unfair to Cui Cui and the fourth child. My sister Pan is not yet famous. Don't wrong Cui Cui, he has said it all himself." Start a business first and then start a family, anyway, the two of you are not very old, this matter will be discussed later."

What the old lady Bai said not only saved Xu's face, but also had legitimate reasons.

Xu couldn't say anything.

Anyway, the Bai family didn't say they were dead, so there is room for change in this matter.

Maybe, Cui Cui and Bai Panmei can develop feelings when they get along with each other.

Laughter came from outside, Mrs. Xu looked over through the window lattice, Cuicui was holding a bamboo pole and playing tricks under the guidance of the fifth child of the Bai family.

Xu's face darkened, why didn't this niece know how to restrain herself, was she here for a kiss or was she just crazy?
