Chapter 968 Finding a Wife for You
"This girl has become very courageous today. Usually when a guest comes to the house, she will hide whenever possible. Today she actually took the initiative to speak for her elder brother, and it is not in vain that he loves her."
It is said that the marriage of the fourth master of the Bai family has not yet been settled. If there is a chance, she would be quite happy.
The children taught by Bai Shuren understand etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, and have good character.
If they become in-laws, the Xu family will be considered high.
The most important thing is that An Yi likes business, which happens to be the same as the Xu family's.
Listening to Mrs. Xu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi almost trembled at the corners of her mouth. Are you thinking about her mistress?
Several times she mentioned showing her daughter-in-law to Xiao Si Xiang, but he avoided her with laughter. They say they don’t want to marry too early and want to start a career. When you have a family, it’s easy to get distracted.
She was also moved by Xiaosi's determined spirit and praised him for his perseverance.
Now he understands that it's not that he has perseverance, but that he hasn't met the right girl.
However, Mrs. Xu was right about one thing. Xiaosi and the Xu family had common topics and could study business together.
Besides, this kid is already twenty-three this year, so it’s really time to start a family.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi looked at Xu Rui'er with a friendly smile, "Sister Rui'er is very smart and clever. She is a good child. Mrs. Xu taught her better."
She is not old-fashioned and has no prejudice against merchant families.
As long as Xiaosi likes it, she can ask the official media to come to propose marriage.
"Thank you for your compliment. This girl is the youngest child in the family. She is already seventeen. It is said that if a girl is not admitted to college, she will become enemies if she is retained. The lady also knows that the status of girls from merchant families is low. When I come to Kyoto this time, If Dalang can stand up, I will find a good family for her and marry her as soon as possible. "
As the head mother of a merchant family, she naturally has to take the initiative in doing things that are beneficial to the family.
If the marriage between the Bai family and the Xu family is really facilitated, it will be a sure winner for the Xu family.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xu Ruier's face flushed with embarrassment at her mother's words, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightened by her.
"Look, this girl is shy." Mrs. Xu was delighted, her eyes filled with adoration.
"Jing Jing, didn't you make some new silk flowers? Girls like accessories. Take Sister Rui to see them."
Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter and gave a gentle reminder.
Bai Jingjing stood up and took Xu Rui'er's hand, "Sister Rui'er, let's go and see if my newly made silk flowers look good, and give me your opinion."
Yang watched her sister-in-law go out with her aunt Bai family. In fact, she wanted to go out too, but as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she had to serve her mother-in-law.
The two had a conversation, and Zhang Yishan came over with the girl.
"I heard that Mrs. Xu has arrived. I thought I heard it wrong. Meeting an acquaintance in Kyoto is a happy thing."
"I've met the Fifth Lady. Our family has just arrived in Kyoto, and we came here to visit as soon as we got our feet firmly on the ground."
Mrs. Xu is slightly blessed. Although she is young, she is also a lady. When they see her, they must bow according to the rules.
"Ms. Xu, you're welcome. Sit down and talk quickly. I'm just bored in the yard, so I came over to join in the fun."
Zhang Yishan chuckled lightly and let the girl sit down on the chair next to her.
Mrs. Xu looked at her bulging belly. She was already a little older. She must have been pregnant when she was in Fucheng.
"Looking at your belly, you look like a son of a bitch."
"Thanks to you, I also hope to be a boy." Zhang Yishan stroked her belly with gentle eyes.
Bai Yunxi was not surprised by her daughter-in-law's thoughts. In an era when men were superior to women, only male children were qualified to establish a family. The world is difficult, and if a girl wants to get ahead, she must work harder than a man.
Because of Zhang Yishan's participation, everyone shifted the topic to parenting.
Everyone has their own parenting experience.
While we were joking, it was noon, everyone had lunch together, and the Xu family took their daughter and daughter-in-law to say goodbye and leave.
Bai Yunxi was sitting on the Luohan bed, while Grandma Zhu led others to handle the gifts brought by Mrs. Xu.
"Old lady, the things given by the Xu family are all practical, especially the two brocades, which are popular colors nowadays. In addition, there is also a 30-year-old ginseng, which is in good condition."
Ginseng?
Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, looked at the things on the table, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
The Xu family's business territory has expanded to Kyoto, and they want to let the Bai family serve as their backers. But they also understand Xiao Wu's temper, and he has the arrogance and aloofness of a scholar. He only wants to be friends with her and doesn't ask for anything else, so although giving gifts is nice, it's not too out of the ordinary.
"Make a record and put it in the treasury, so you can repay the gift later."
Didn’t Sister Rui say that? The elder man of the Xu family has purchased two shops, and when they open, she will send a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Bai family, which is considered a thoughtful gesture.
After dinner, Baiyunxi left Xiaosi alone.
"Mom, if you have anything to do, just ask. I will tell you everything." Being stared at by my mother, Xiaosi's scalp went numb and he immediately begged for mercy.
"Tell me the truth, are you interested in the Xu family girl?" Bai Yunxi stopped teasing him and asked.
After asking this question, Bai Yunxi found that he was a bit coy again.
Yes, that's right.
She was just very curious, when did this guy get his idea for this girl?
"Mom, I can't tell you. I just think that girl is interesting."
He could see that girl several times when he met Xu Dalang.
Once he was invited by Xu Erlang to visit his studio, and he heard a scream from far away in the yard. When they rushed in, they saw Xu Ruier and the girl holding their heads and crying, shivering with fear.
After careful questioning, I found out that a rat had entered Xu Erlang's studio.
For this reason, Xu Erlang was severely criticized by his elder brother, saying that he was careless and sloppy, which would attract rats to visit the house.
Looking at Xu Ruier, whose eyes were red with fear, he felt that the girl was really timid.
Listening to Xiao Si's thoughts, Bai Yunxi trembled at the corner of her mouth. So there was still this episode between them?
"You are not young anymore. If you have a wife by your side, life will be a lot more fun."
Bai Yunxi said, looking at Xiao Si laughing and joking, rarely serious,
"Mom hopes that you can meet a daughter-in-law who treats you sincerely, respects and loves each other, and has a happy life. Therefore, only if you really like her can you hire her as your partner, not just for a temporary novelty."
Listening to my mother's serious tone, Xiao Si subconsciously sat up straight and thought for a while.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't be that half-hearted person."
"So, you like the Xu family girl?" Bai Yunxi looked at his red ears and teased.
"...I kind of like it."
Xiaosi raised his hand and touched his nose, "I'm just a few years older than her. The Xu family loves their daughter, so they should mind this."
