in charge

"Mo Zi, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Jiang...... What is Mr. Jiang's status, how could he marry me?" After Bai He blushed, she still treated Mo Zi as unserious.

"I don't like to hear those words." Mo Zi pulled Bai He to sit down, "He wants to marry you, so what does his status have to do with him? What is his status and you don't deserve it? You don't dislike his big head and small mouth, that's good gone."

Bai He said slowly, "We are a family, so you will help me naturally. Mr. Jiang, "Wait a minute, this name sounds familiar. "Qiu Sanniang interjected, "Mo Zi, first tell me who Jiang Tao is. "

"Did you forget? On the way from Luozhou to Shangdu, passing through Luzhen, the county magistrate who opened the warehouse to release the grain was Jiang Tao. He was transferred to Shangdu, and now he is a fifth-rank official and works as the head of the Ministry of Industry." When Mo Zi eats vegetables, the taste is really amazing.

"That Jiang Tao who was not selected for Tanhua because of his ugly looks?" Qiu Sanniang frowned immediately when she remembered, "Bai He, no matter how big his official position is, if the emperor thinks he is shabby and doesn't choose him as Tanhua, Don't marry either. To be a husband and wife, you have to look comfortable and pleasing to the eye, otherwise how will you live your whole life?"

Hongmei called out to grandma, "Bai He is going to marry, she is the wife of the Fifth Rank Official... This is a great blessing."

Qiu Sanniang looked at Mo Zi.

Mo Zi glanced at Bai He, and nodded to Qiu Sanniang, "Bai He looks great, and it's a bit of a loss to match that big man. If you want me to say, I'll go back to him tomorrow, lest he wishful thinking. What's the point of being an official?" Okay, now that the world is in chaos, companions are like companions to tigers, and I don’t know when I will take off my official hat. Let’s find an honest man...the fat and water will not flow to outsiders, Cen Er is good, and he also takes good care of Baihe."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Qiu Sanniang clapped her hands and laughed, "I just said that I have to find my husband outside, how about it? If it is Cen Er, I think it is very good. Although his Cen family is my mother's family, I will It's because I want to enlarge Lang Erlang's contract. Wangqiu Tower will be run by the two of you, and I'm happiest when you manage the accounts and the kitchen."

Bai He shook her head anxiously, she didn't know where to start talking, her breathing was messed up.

Lu Ju saw it, and hurriedly stroked her back, and handed her a cup of tea.

"Grandma, Cen Erlang treats Bai He like a younger sister, and Bai He treats him with affection." Bai He finally calmed down, "Mr. Jiang's appearance is not suave, but he is gentle and sincere, and it is a great opportunity to serve the people wholeheartedly. I The godmother often said, don't look at a man's handsome appearance, only look at his heart. Mr. Jiang is such a talented and backbone man, it's really that I don't deserve it, not that he doesn't deserve me."

She turned her head and said to Mo Zi, "You can go back tomorrow on your own, just don't say such hurtful words like wishful thinking. I believe that it will be easy for him to find a lady from an official family who is much better than me."

Mo Zi looked deeply at Bai He, "You, so you also like him."

Bai He was startled, and her face burned again, "I... never thought about it, just... just looking at him, I never thought he was unattractive. It's different. When I tell him about my past, I won't show a little contempt, and I'm always polite. This is probably a gentleman, and I have read all the books in my heart."

Luju was fascinated when she heard it, why was she anxious "Why don't you hurry up and marry such a good person?"

"I'm self-aware. I don't know why he proposed marriage, but I can't read and write like him, and I can only cook a little. I can marry him as him, but what about after marriage? Maybe There was a good time for a year or so, when he fades away, and then I marry someone who is educated and reasonable, I will be just a cook. I can't blame him." Bai He's expression gradually became gloomy.

Where is it that I have never thought about?After hearing this, Mo Zi thought to himself, clearly thought about it, but resisted.

"What's wrong with being illiterate? There are many illiterate ladies among the ladies." A woman is virtue, and Mo Zi finds that this sentence is rare and can be useful... "Jiang Tao said, as long as you are willing to marry him, how many people are there in front of you?" No matter, he will break through. Obviously, he cares about you very much. He doesn't even mind that you have been a girl, so does he mind if you can write? He is marrying a wife, not looking for a literary pair. "

Bai He was very moved when he heard Mo Zi relay Jiang Tao's words.

"Forget it, forget about who is worthy and who is not. Since Bai He refuses, Mo Zi, you just go back." Qiu Sanniang waved her hand impatiently.

Bai He opened her mouth, finally bit her hun, said to serve the dishes, and left the house.

Red plums and green chrysanthemums hurriedly followed them out.

"These two are fine, they do good people, we two are bad people." The wine cup in front of Qiu Sanniang was empty, and without asking, she took Mo Zi's.

She drinks as well as herself, so Mo Zi doesn't care, "What should I do now?"

"Is it really possible to come back?" Qiu Sanniang's cheeks were smeared with powder, and her face was glamorous, "Can you let me meet this Jiang Tao? It was Bai He who agreed, and I still have something to clarify with Jiang Tao in advance."

"I can see you tomorrow, as long as it's convenient for you." After testing it out, Bai He's mind was already very clear, and she could boldly make it happen.

"I'll rest here tonight, and I can go back before dinner tomorrow. Although the old lady and my mother-in-law can't take care of me these days, I think it's better to be a good daughter-in-law before the separation than to be resented later." Qiu Sanniang said He planned, "Then I'll have someone post it now, Wangqiulou is all my own people, so I'll have a lunch there." Seeing Qiu Sanniang's answer, Mo Zi didn't delay, went to the side table to grind ink and dip a pen, and write He took the note for tomorrow's appointment, attached his name card, and called Dinggou outside to take it to Jiang Tao's house.

Back in the house, seeing Qiu Sanniang staring at her in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"I really don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse for you, a female official." Seeing that the second cup of wine was about to run dry, Qiu Sanniang moved the glass away.That's it, it seems impulsive and self-willed, but in fact it has its own measure in mind.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other." Mo Zi looked relaxed, but never dared to relax in her heart.

"The decree of rewarding Xiao Mingrou has also come to an end. It is a great joy for the Xiao family." After Qiu Sanniang reminded Mo Zi, she changed the gossip, "I will seal the concubine Ming and enter the palace after the Lantern Festival."

Mo Zi knew it was not her turn to sympathize with Xiao Mingrou, but she still sighed, "How is her injury?"

"I sent it back from the palace two days ago. I went to see it. It looks pretty good...but it's a bit of a lack of energy. It seems that after receiving the order, Hun flew away. I used to think that I was pitiful enough, and only after seeing her did I know myself That's good enough. She doesn't want to enter the palace, I think you should know, otherwise why would she be a target?" The relationship between Qiu Sanniang and the girls of the Xiao family is still good.

"The person the emperor likes can't escape, and the Xiao family won't let her make her own way. Therefore, Bai He is really lucky." Comparing the two, I feel that it is not easy to be a famous lady.

"No, my mother-in-law probably figured it out, so I can't tell her not to leave for two days, because she's afraid she won't think about it anymore. However, I don't think she will seek death, she's just disheartened." Qiu Sanniang saw Bai He and the others coming in , it will not be mentioned.

On the second day, Qiu Sanniang set up wine at Wangqiu Tower and met Jiang Tao.

Mo Zi also went together.

The accompanying red plums and green chrysanthemums frowned when they first saw Jiang Tao with a big head and a small mouth.However, after listening to him answer Qiu Sanniang's question, he changed his mind.Green Chrysanthemum said that Bai He's life was good.

Qiu Sanniang asked; "Master Jiang, the fifth-rank official, why do you like the wealthy Baihe?"

Jiang Tao replied: "My family is poor, my parents died early, and I have seen the world's coldness and warmth since I was a child, so I choose warm people to spend my life with, and I don't ask for wealth. Miss Baihe's warm heart can be expressed in words. If you miss it, it will be hard to meet again."

Qiu Sanniang asked, "Master Jiang, Bai He will never be a concubine. If you marry her as your regular wife, you will not be able to marry a young lady in the future. Is that okay?"

Jiang Tao replied: "Since asking for marriage, it is natural to be a wife, and I dare not wrong Miss Baihe. I am a poor official, and I have so many errands to do, so I have never thought of marrying a young girl. It is enough for a wife to live together and grow old together. .”

Qiu Sanniang asked; "Master Jiang said he was poor, and Bai He also had a lot of savings... how do the two of them live?"

Jiang Tao replied, "I'm poor, but I can't compare to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The imperial court has a salary and property, and the family has a loyal family to take care of it. If Miss Baihe is willing, I will buy a house and set up a farm, so I won't have to worry about food and clothing."

After eating this meal, Qiu Sanniang watched Jiang Tao leave, and said to Mo Zi, "Bai He's life is indeed good, and I'm even envious. I can't object to this marriage, and I won't let Bai He object. As for the dowry, you are more familiar than me outside." , can you help me with the purchase? In addition to her share in Lujiao Lane, I will give you 5000 taels, pick the top-grade ones, don’t let people look down on you.”

"Just give the banknotes." Mo Zi didn't think so, "Then Jiang Tao's family doesn't have any people anymore, so it's better to use silver to buy those fancy and unusable ones. Bai He also has the capital to open a shop."

Qiu Sanniang thought about it, "Follow Baihe's wishes."

Telling Bai He about Qiu Sanniang's three questions and Jiang Tao's three answers, she was so moved that she cried, there was no reason for her not to agree.

Jiang Tao got the letter from Mo Zi, and immediately asked the matchmaker to come over and settle the marriage.On another auspicious day at the end of the first lunar month, I bought a Jiangnan-style house and moved like a gust of wind. The layout was carefully arranged, just waiting for the bride to come in.

Lu Ju simply took the fake and left the palace, and lived in Lujiao Lane to embroider a wedding dress and quilt for Bai He.

Here she complains that Baihe's marriage is the same as Qiu Sanniang's time... There is a rush in the day, and I don't know if I can finish the embroidery before marriage, and the pregnant Luo Niang and the handy Chen Niang over there have come to help.The three of them were quick, and a set was embroidered out.

And Sister You and Xiu sent head jewelry, and set up a shop by the way, hoping for a double happiness.

The tenth of the first lunar month.

On this day, when all the officials met with the emperor, Mo Zi asked Si Zheng to roll call and go together.

After washing and dressing, I left the willow garden, and it was still dark.A lamp on the carriage didn't shine very brightly, it was very cold.But the car is covered with thick velvet mats, wrapped with a copper warming stove, and lit with glass cups, making it spacious and bright.

Five people are already a fixed traveling team.Zan Jin Dinggou drove, Ah Hao held his sword and listened, Ah Yue studied medical books, and Mo Zi continued to catch up on sleep.

Suddenly, Zan Jin's voice sounded, "Brother Mo, you have a tail."

Dinggou's voice came from behind the car, "Stay in the car and don't move."

Boom—

Something hit the roof of the hood. (To be continued. !
