Chapter 1378 Mrs. Bo came to drink tea ([-])

"Is this your real thought?" Mrs. Bai was slightly surprised, "Then what you said about background checks was perfunctory? I heard that Mrs. Lu was really a matchmaker for her nephew."

"The lady has already heard about it? The gossip spread so quickly?" Qi Ke somewhat understood the real intention of Mrs. Bai's sudden visit to drink tea and rest, and probably felt strange to come to find out.

"We also heard about it, so we came here in a hurry, but we didn't expect to run into the lady." Xue Rui said boldly.

"The three of you must have come to listen to the gossip." Qi Ke mercilessly pierced through his little friend's desire to watch the fun, "The lady certainly doesn't do it for that."

"I let you talk." Mrs. Bai admitted and nodded, "You are a military household, and you are a special talent that the Bai family army values ​​very much. The Lu family is a veteran squire in Dong'an Prefecture. In 200 years of history, you have never been to Dong'an Mansion, and you have only been active in Donglin County. Their family suddenly sees you and wants to marry you, don't blame people for thinking too much."

"Don't worry, madam, I think the same way. If you don't have anything to do, you can be courteous. It's either adultery or robbery. The other party who has never dealt with anyone said that they want to get married. Every word is calculated." Nodded, "Fortunately, I was well prepared. I knew there would be rich people coming to Dong'an Mansion for the order, so I prepared a roster in advance, so that I could link people's names with their family backgrounds. I was looking at it before Da Furen came."

"You actually prepared this?" Mrs. Bai was surprised again, "Is this son who is married to you mentioned in your roster?"

"This son is not recorded in the book. I only remember a few well-known young people in the Lu family. They are all young talents who are famous in their youth. They got married wives early on, and their children are all running around."

"How about those famous ones?" Zhou Lanchun asked curiously.

"He has achieved fame at a young age. That son is a cousin of this year. He passed the examination last year as a scholar. He got married early this year. His wife is now pregnant."

"Wow!" Ding Lin and the three exclaimed.

"Oh, I have an impression of this young man. Last year, after he passed the examination of a scholar, his family made a five-day banquet. I heard that he was a child prodigy since he was a child." Mrs. Bai remembered that there was indeed such a thing. A 17-year-old scholar is really young and promising. .

Bai Min also nodded in agreement with her mother, "After the grades came out, all the rich ladies in the city were talking about this person for a while, and they all said that marrying this person will be a blessing, and if you enter the door, you will be a talented lady and you will never worry about it for the rest of your life."

"Then the young master who wants to marry doesn't have any fame?"

"It's such a bad comparison."

"And he's quite old. He's in his 20s and doesn't study well. He still wants to marry us, Ake. It's a dream come true."

"It's really all calculations."

Ding Lin and the three chattered for Qi Ke's injustice.

"How do you refuse their matchmaker?" Mrs. Bai felt relieved when she saw that Qi Ke knew what was in her mind, and she was not as impatient as she was when she heard the news.

"Procrastinating with the background check, Mrs. Lu's face changed when I said these four words. It can be seen that she was afraid that I would find out something, and it immediately proved that the marriage was another attempt."

Mrs. Bai nodded slowly, her mood improved, "What kind of attempt do you think it will be?"

"They are local gentry, rich and powerful, what am I? A single woman who has no father, no mother, and no family to rely on. At the same time, I am a big landlord with ten thousand acres of land under my name. I am a farmer, businessman, and I belong to the Bai family army. Special talent, I alone can equal the wealth of a family. If I were a man, I would be their business rival. Fortunately, I am a woman. In the traditional concept, women must have children after marriage. It is not uncommon in history to kill people. It is kind to leave the mother and keep the children. Most of the time, the mother and the child are not kept at all, so as to avoid family ethics wars after the step-wife comes in. I don’t have the support of my mother’s family. If I die, there will be no one. To avenge me, so I am the best marriage partner. As long as I enter the door and worship the hall, even if I am still standing in the wedding hall, it is equivalent to that all the property under my name has belonged to the man's family. I can have today It’s not easy, I’m afraid of death, so I won’t wade into this muddy water.”
