Chapter 750: Why don't you decide to be your granddaughter-in-law in advance
Tangbao and Xia Siya wore the same style and color clothes, and went to the Bai family for a banquet.
However, Tangbao wore white sandalwood beads on his wrist, while Xia Siya wore a mutton-fat white jade bracelet on her wrist.
The two of them first went to the magistrate's residence and accompanied Mrs. Xia.
"Cousin, Sister Su." As soon as Zou Shuqin saw the two of them, she immediately greeted them with a smile on her face.
It was as if the falling out that day didn't even exist.
Tangbao and Xia Siya looked at each other.
The two of them had a very tacit understanding, and no one told Mrs. Xia about Zou Shuqin's deliberate approach to Bai Shuzhi.
If a person of Zou Shuqin's level can confuse Bai Shuzhi, then Bai Shuzhi may not be reliable in the future.
"My cousin is dressed very uniquely today." Xia Siya said coldly, "This dress is also very exquisite."
Zou Shuqin had a shy expression on her face and glanced at Mrs. Xia gratefully.
"My aunt asked Hongxiufang to make it specially." Zou Shuqin said.
Mrs. Xia frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful about making clothes for her niece.
The Bai family invited their mother and daughter to come, not without wanting to see their daughter.
Now, the niece is dressed more grandly than the daughter. Doesn’t it mean that she is stealing the limelight from her daughter?
Although I don't know why the Bai family suddenly proposed to marry their own family, I just heard that the child of the Bai family is also a talented and famous boy in the capital, and he is different from those dandy boys who are ignorant and incompetent.
In this way, this marriage is quite good.
Mrs. Xia looked at Zou Shuqin, opened her mouth, and wanted Zou Shuqin to change her clothes.
"What's wrong, aunt?" Zou Shuqin asked in confusion.
Mrs. Xia: "...Nothing."
Forget it, it would be a good thing if the niece was chosen as a daughter-in-law by another female family member at the Bai family's banquet.
Mrs. Xia looked at Tangbao and Xia Siya.
Two little girls, wearing bright yellow dresses, beads of the same color on their heads, and on their fair and round ears, drop-shaped earrings inlaid with yellow warm jade in silver settings...
Standing together pretty and pretty, it is really pleasing to the eye.
Although the niece is wearing a water-red long skirt with flowers embroidered on it, which makes her look extremely luxurious, but if you look closely, you will see that she is less light-hearted and more solid.
Mrs. Xia felt a little at ease.
The Bai family was originally a prominent family in Qingzhou Prefecture.
This time the whole family came back to worship their ancestors, which was naturally quite a sensation.
Everyone with dignity in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture is proud to receive an invitation from the Bai family.
When Mrs. Xia and others arrived, they happened to meet the female family members of Zhang Hanlin's family.
Although the two families were discussing marriage, there was no formal wedding ceremony.
The reason is that Xia Siming was preparing for the exam a few days ago.
However, it can be considered that we have passed the clear path.
When Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Zhang met, they were naturally very affectionate. After all, they were future in-laws.
However, the faces of the second wife of the Zhang family and the second girl of the Zhang family are not very good-looking.
Especially Miss Zhang Er gave Tang Bao a fierce look.
Tangbao was speechless, feeling like this Zhang Er girl was clinging to him.
Xia Siya shook her head secretly and gave Miss Zhang Er a sympathetic look, feeling that she was even more unlucky.
Everyone was welcomed into the flower hall where the Bai family entertained guests.
The old lady of the Bai family wears a vermilion double-breasted long gown, and wears a forehead embroidery with the same color as the longevity pattern on her forehead. In the center of the forehead, there is a piece of imperial green jade inlaid, and she holds a rosewood dragon-head crutch in her hand.
, sitting on the main seat.
The first lady and the second lady of the Bai family were talking to several elderly ladies.
There were still some young wives and girls scattered around the flower hall, sitting or standing.
It was supposed to be a festive atmosphere, but no one spoke loudly or laughed.
"I've met the old lady."
Mrs. Xia, the eldest wife of the Zhang family, and the second wife saluted the old lady together.
Tangbao, Xia Siya and others followed behind, bowing their knees in an upright manner.
After all, the old lady of the Bai family is a first-grade wife.
The old lady smiled and excused everyone.
Then, he looked at the girls behind him.
Mrs. Xia quickly pulled Xia Siya over and introduced, "This is my daughter Siya."
"Well, he is an outstanding child." The old lady nodded and said.
After saying that, he glanced at Madam Bai.
The eldest lady immediately smiled and said, "My mother's vision is absolutely right."
Although the eldest lady and uncle are reserved, many people here know about the marriage between the Bai family and the Xia family.
Therefore, after hearing what the eldest lady said, I knew in my heart that this marriage was done.
Zou Shuqin's expression changed, but she didn't dare to speak.
The old lady nodded to a pretty girl serving beside her.
The girl immediately smiled and held up a red brocade box.
"There is a pair of bracelets here, I can take them out and give them to you little girls to wear and play with," the old lady said.
The pretty girl opened the box, revealing a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets inside, and presented them to Xia Siya.
Xia Siya was a little embarrassed and looked at Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia nodded slightly and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"
"Thank you, madam."
Xia Siya bowed to the old lady.
Then he took the box and handed it to Shaoyao behind him to hold.
The eldest lady said with a smile that did not reach her eyes: "My mother gave me good things. As a daughter-in-law, I naturally can't be too stingy. This set of hair and face was my favorite when I was a girl..."
Following the eldest lady's words, a maid behind her picked up a jewelry box, revealing a set of red gold and ruby-encrusted headsets inside.
You can tell at a glance that it was prepared in advance.
Xia Siya thanked the eldest lady, took her face, and took a look.
Although this set of hair and face looks luxurious, the style is too old-fashioned and not suitable for young girls to wear.
The gift given by the second wife was much lighter, just a pair of jade earrings.
Several other distant relatives of the Bai family also knew what was going on and gave Xia Siya a meeting gift one after another.
Fortunately, Xia Siya listened to Mrs. Xia's words and brought two maids, Shaoyao and Qingluo.
Otherwise, I'm afraid one person wouldn't be able to carry so many jewelry boxes.
When the old lady saw everyone in the Bai family and gave Xia Siya a meeting gift, a shrewd light flashed in her eyes and she looked at Tangbao and Zou Shuqin.
His eyes turned around on the two people.
"I don't know which family these two little girls are from?" the old lady asked.
Mrs. Xia quickly introduced: "This is my goddaughter Su Tang, and this is my niece Zou Shuqin."
The old lady immediately waved to the sugar baby and said with a smile: "This little girl looks like a good child at first glance. Come over and let me take a look."
As for Zou Shuqin, the old lady only glanced at her casually.
Zou Shuqin bit her lip and tried hard to maintain a suitable smile on her face.
The sugar baby walked up to the old lady generously.
The old lady took the sugar baby's hand, with a look of affection on her face.
His attitude is more affectionate than that towards Xia Siya.
For those who didn’t know, they thought she was looking for a grandson’s daughter-in-law, and the one she was looking for was a sugar baby.
"Well, her eyebrows are exquisite. Although she hasn't grown yet, you can tell she is a pretty girl at a glance." The old lady said with a smile.
There was a distant relative of the Bai family next to him, and he immediately said jokingly: "Since the old lady likes her so much, why not decide in advance to be my granddaughter-in-law? You may as well have children of the same age in your family."
