Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 542 Eavesdropping
Because of the visit to the house, neither of Zhao and Xu slept well, tossing and turning until the middle of the night before falling asleep in a daze. When Zhao opened his eyes, it was already mostly dawn.

As for the rest of the family, Mrs. Zhao only said that they were ordinary guests and didn't say much.

"Ma'am, a carriage has entered the village and is coming towards our house!"

Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao asked the young man to guard the entrance of the village. Hearing his yelling at this time, Mrs. Zhao looked a little nervous and hurried to meet him outside the courtyard gate.

After all, Master Bai's visit this time was not an ordinary guest, and it was probably because of Bai Pangsan and Erya's affairs, so Mrs. Zhao had a different mood when seeing him again.

"For a sudden visit, shopkeeper Zhao, please don't blame us for our lack of manners!" After getting off the carriage, Master Bai apologized politely and smiled.

Seeing Mr. Bai's polite words, she felt a flash of joy in her heart, and then she smiled and exchanged salutes with Mrs. Bai.

Seeing Mrs. Zhao again, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Seeing that she was well dressed, behaved well, and her speech was not as submissive and cowardly as before, she couldn't help being surprised in her heart, and she didn't dare to neglect her.

The big girls behind Mrs. Zhao also bowed to Master Bai and Mrs. Bai one by one, and then a group of people embraced them and entered the hall together.

"The girls in the family are really as tall as possible. They all look like ladies from rich families. They don't have the air of a country at all. No wonder they have been missed so early!" After sitting down, Mrs. Bai looked He glanced at the few sisters standing aside, then said with a smile.

How can the listener be unintentional if the speaker is intentional!Although Mrs. Bai's words were superficially praising the sisters for their good looks, the meaning behind the words made Mrs. Zhao feel a little pale.

"Ahem! This tea is good! After talking for so long, don't you feel thirsty?" Seeing that Zhao's face changed slightly, Mr. Bai picked up the tea, coughed twice, and then smiled and said to Mrs. Bai beside him .

Although there was a smile on his face, there was a warning in his eyes.Seeing that Master Bai didn't save face for her like this, Mrs. Bai was annoyed, but she still smiled embarrassingly and took the tea.

"Ma'am, the second girl has made some snacks and brought them to Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai to taste!" Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, Mother Xu said at this time.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao ordered a few daughters to cook some food in the kitchen for the guests.

Seeing what Xu's mother said, Mrs. Zhao immediately recovered her expression.

"Let Erya bring it here!" After saying this, Mrs. Zhao said to Master Bai and Mrs. Bai, "Master Bai and Mrs. Bai have eaten the usual snacks, so I specially made some with some fruits grown by myself. pastry!"

Mrs. Bai is Bai Pangsan's stepmother, even if Mrs. Bai has no control over his marriage, Mrs. Zhao will try her best to please her, and this is naturally for the sake of her daughter.

"This sounds very rare. I heard that the food at Niuqi Restaurant is the only one in the town. No wonder my master and young master often go there as if they lost their souls! It seems that the food in this mountain village is not like human beings. That's so vulgar!" After listening to Mrs. Zhao's words, Mrs. Bai smiled, and then said again.

Siya who was standing by the side couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Mrs. Bai's words. This Mrs. Bai came here on purpose today to make things difficult for others!
Following Master Bai's warning glance at Mrs. Bai, Erya and Mrs. Xu also came in with the cakes they had made.

Master Bai tasted everything very bluntly, and then repeatedly praised the Erya sisters for their good craftsmanship, and Erya who was standing by the side couldn't help blushing.

Madam Bai only took a sip, but didn't say anything.

Later, Mrs. Zhao sent all the children out of the house, and left Master Bai and Mrs. Bai alone in the house to talk.

Si Ya saw that Mrs. Bai was a troublemaker, and she was afraid that the two of them would bully her mother. The most important thing was that she wanted to hear what Master Bai and Mrs. Bai thought about this marriage.So after everyone dispersed, she quietly hid outside the window and eavesdropped.

"Shopkeeper Zhao is really good at teaching daughters. The daughters in the family are all so outstanding! I am very impressed by Bai!"

Inside the room, Master Bai's hearty voice came.

Si Ya twitched her lips, after all she was going to be in-laws, so Master Bai's compliments were just a matter of chance.

"Where! Where! The princes and ladies of your mansion are the dragons and phoenixes!"

She has never eaten pork, and she has never seen a pig running. Although Zhao is not used to praising people in such a polite way, she is the shopkeeper of the Niuqi Restaurant after all, so she also learns to praise in a decent manner.

"Pfft!" Si Ya who was squatting in front of the window couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard her mother's words and felt awkward no matter what she thought.

"Siya! You...!"

"Shh!"

Erya, who felt a little uneasy, was about to come over to have a look, when she saw Siya squatting in front of the window and giggling, she couldn't help asking in surprise.

Si Ya hurriedly made a silent movement towards her, and then pulled her to squat outside the window together, eavesdropping together.

"Listen to what they say, it's good for you!" Si Ya whispered into her second sister's ear.

Erya, who was still panicked, couldn't help but blush up to her ears when she understood the meaning of what her fourth sister said.

At this moment, the people in the room were still talking, and Erya held back her shame, pricked up her ears with Siya, and listened breathlessly.

"I came here this time because I want to discuss something with Mrs. Zhao!" After some politeness, Master Bai naturally began to talk about serious matters.

As the saying goes, marry a daughter-in-law with your head down, and marry a daughter with your head up, as the man's Bai family, it is natural to propose it first.

Hearing these words, Mrs. Zhao in the room and Erya and Siya who were eavesdropping outside the house couldn't help becoming nervous, especially Erya, whose squatting legs were trembling slightly, but fortunately Si Ya focused on the conversation in the room, and didn't pay attention to the strangeness of her second sister, or Er Ya really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Say it!" Mrs. Zhao's voice came from the room.

"My son, Bai Qixian, has always been close to the Zhao family, and the girls of the Zhao family are considered childhood sweethearts, so this time Bai came to the door to ask for marriage from the Zhao family on my behalf! I wonder if Mrs. Zhao agrees?" Bai Qixian is Bai Fat San's wife Scientific name, such a big deal, naturally can't be called Bai Pang San anymore.

"This...!" Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Shi still felt nervous for no reason when he heard Master Bai mentioning it, so he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Isn't there any agreement or disagreement here? Isn't it obvious! Isn't it, Shopkeeper Zhao!" Seeing Mrs. Zhao panicked, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but said a little contemptuously, her words were also full of teasing meaning.

Bai Pangsan married an unworthy country girl as his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Bai was naturally happy to hear it, but she didn't look down on the Zhao family in her heart. Seeing her unworthy appearance again, she couldn't help but sigh Said teasingly.

As soon as Mrs. Bai said this, Zhao's face immediately turned blue and purple, and he also blamed himself for being out of order, so he gradually calmed down, and his complexion returned to its original state.

"Why did Uncle Bai bring this woman with him? What a parrot! Second sister, when you come to the Bai family, you have to take care of her and avenge our mother!" Si Ya whispered angrily.

Seeing her own mother being said like this, Er Ya's face was also not good-looking, but after hearing Si Ya's words, she couldn't help but chuckle, and her complexion was much better than before.

"Thanks to the Bai family for looking down on my daughters so much, it's just that this incident happened suddenly, and I had to discuss it with my family before I could make a decision! You also know that these daughters of my family have suffered a lot since I was young. Bitter, so I don't want them to be rich in the future, I just want a safe life!" After recovering her complexion, Mrs. Zhao said to Master Bai with a serious face, and at the same time expressed her attitude towards her daughter's marriage. .

"This is natural! Although our Bai family is not a wealthy family, it is not a pedantic family. You also watched our fat three grow up. Our two families also know each other well. If the two become in-laws, then It can be regarded as being close to the family, the two families become one family!" Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Master Bai was naturally happy, and saw that he had another kind word, and his words showed the intimacy between the Bai family and the Zhao family.

Mrs. Bai did not expect Master Bai to speak so humbly for a mere country girl, but she curled her lips strangely and snorted coldly.

But this time Mrs. Zhao didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Bai's attitude, but smiled and nodded towards Mr. Bai, showing her agreement with Mr. Bai's words.

"Hey! These girls have suffered a lot with me, and now they have just gotten better, but they have reached the age to say goodbye! Although the girls are too old to stay, if they stay, they will leave hatred. But I am still reluctant and want to stay for a few more years!" Although the marriage has not been agreed for the time being, both parties have a clear idea in their hearts, so Mrs. Zhao also said what should be said in advance, so as to save future troubles After speaking, there were more stumbling blocks, causing a rift between the two families, and it was my daughter who suffered in the end.

"There is no rush to get married! The two families will book the marriage first, and it will not be too late to wait until the children are older to get married! The two children are indeed too young, so you can stay for a few more years!" Of course, Master Bai is not that pedantic As a man, Mrs. Zhao's words are sincere, and he naturally agrees.

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect Master Bai to be so talkative. Before, she was worried that the Bai family wanted to get married as soon as possible, but now it seems that they can stay for a few more years, and she felt ecstatic in her heart.

"If you want to say that the fat three is matched with four, it is Siya who suffers the most, but fat three is simple and honest, and Siya is smart, and this movement complements each other! Although Siya is still too young now, for the sake of To get a good daughter-in-law, our Bai family is willing to wait for a few more years!" Seeing the satisfaction on Zhao's face, Master Bai was also happy in his heart, so he picked good things to say again.
