388. Love

In fact, the Bai family has so many people, Bai Yimao Zong bought more than a hundred facial towels. Where is it enough to serve as a dowry for whom? Each yard is divided into one cent, and each person can’t get one or two.

The ladies in each courtyard should have sent their servants to buy it. Some may have bought it. Some people have not bought it. If they get the news later than others, they will go later, so naturally they will not be able to buy it.

Bai Yimao walked outside all day long and was well-informed, so he bought more than a hundred facial towels this time and gave a share to the aunts and aunts in each yard. It was also his wish.

Bai Yimao is the eldest son and grandson of the Bai family, but he is only the oldest in the direct line. There are also some illegitimate branches, and among his peers, there are also older than him.

With more people in this family, and as time goes by, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts due to various things. However, relatively speaking, the Bai family is relatively harmonious and the overall atmosphere is relatively generous.

The Luo family siblings live in this Bai family compound and are often taken care of by various houses and courtyards on weekdays. They don’t have to arrange the clothes of all seasons by themselves. Someone always prepares them and sends them to them. There are also various snacks to eat on weekdays.

Si Niang had thought about giving them some gifts back earlier, but most of them were rejected. Yan was the children's family who did not need much politeness, nor did she want to be told by those who were interested. Yan was the things that they adults deceived the children's hands, but they were just some food and used. They asked Si Niang and the others to just eat and use it, and there was no need to be more concerned about it.

Si Niang was also a little embarrassed by them. She couldn't be as they said, as they always said, she would only enter and not leave. She would just accept other people's things and not give back gifts. However, she was also a little overwhelmed with what to return for this gift, and when to return when she should return it.

Fortunately, Bai Yimao would mention her from time to time. Although Bai Yimao was so unreliable when she was in Xipo Village, she grew up in such a family. As for etiquette, she has heard of it since childhood. She naturally knows more than Si Niang and the others, and she has a better grasp of her position.

However, Bai Yimao said this to her most often: "You don't need to be careful in everything you want to do so much. If you really do that, they will feel restricted. It's better to be so careless as you do now."

These aristocratic masters, whether they are men walking outside or women in the house, mostly pay attention to a demeanor. Even if some people actually don’t have any demeanor, they have to pretend to be a little bit. If they are too petty, they will inevitably be laughed at.

The Bai family has been doing well over the years, and even the previous case of the prince's rebellion, which was widely involved, did not cause any impact on their family.

The foundation of their family is mainly in Henan Road. In recent years, they have developed to Huainan Road, and have purchased many forest orchards and Eucommia Garden. In addition, the land rent collected every year in their hometown Henan Road, as well as the workshops run by branches in the family, generally speaking, the economic conditions are relatively abundant.

People like Bai Yimao have a lot of monthly money every month, and he is not a moonlight, so he can save some money when he has nothing to do, but like today, he buys more than 100 facial scarves. The monthly money this month should not be enough, so he needs to use some savings.

At this time, when he heard Si Niang teasing him, Bai Yimao looked back and replied, "Do you care whether I will get a dowry or a betrothal gift."

He hadn't seen Si Niang for several days. For these face towels, Si Niang was so busy that she couldn't catch up with the curfew these days, so she slept in the shop at night without going back to the Bai Mansion.

"You are not enough to share. I have a little more here, so why not add it?" Si Niang leaned over and said to him with a smile.

"No need, you can share yours, I will share mine." Bai Yimao didn't appreciate it.

"Okay." Si Niang nodded, and then asked several servants in the yard to help her move the facial towels in her car into their own yard.

So, in the afternoon of that day, in various yards of the Bai family, they first received the towels sent by Bai Yimao, and soon, they received the towels sent by Si Niang.

Then soon, the aunts, aunts, old ladies and girls in each courtyard knew that Bai Yimao had a fight with Luo Siniang again.

If you say that these two people are good, they will have a bad time every now and then.

"I wonder what it is for this time?"

"It must be because the Si Niang didn't come back at night."

"She wants to do business, and it is inevitable that she is very busy these two days."

“It’s also a bit bad.”

"Tsk tsk, if these two people succeed, they will have to make trouble in the future."

"Just their temper..."

Bai Yimao's little bad temper was unknown to anyone in the Bai family. It is said that when he was four or five years old, one day his mother fed him silver silk noodles. I don't know how he did it, so she choked. For this matter, she refused to eat noodles for more than ten years, and it seemed like she had a grudge with the silver silk noodles.

Logically speaking, a virtuous woman with a good temperament should be looking for a wife of a good personality to be her wife, but he fell in love with Luo Siniang again, and Luo Siniang's temper was also very stubborn.

"If you don't mention this temperament, it's really hard for these two people to get together."

"Too."

"As the eldest son and grandson of my Bai family, how can I marry a business woman?"

"Besides, Luo Si Niang may not be willing to marry."

"I heard that the wife told him about marriage a few days ago, and he refused."

"Oh, these years have passed, and in a blink of an eye, all the wives of good families have gotten married. What else can he find at that time..."

“…”

At this time, the gentry men naturally wanted to marry women who were from the same gentry. The so-called gentry is not only a symbol of status, but also represents the huge family power behind them.

If a man from a gentry wants to develop well in the future, in this power center where all parties are intricately linked, they have to rely on their own family as their backing, and on the other hand, they also rely on their wife's family support and response. This is like a person's two arms. Once they give up this kind of power marriage, it is basically equivalent to giving up one of their own arms. This is not only related to personal future, but also to family development.

Sometimes Si Niang would hear some rumors about how she could become the mistress of the Bai family, just like a businessman.

Although becoming the head mistress of a big family was not what Si Niang wanted, these words were really hurting people's self-esteem, as if she was very lowly and not worthy of Bai Yimao.

Besides, Si Niang was actually a little afraid of marrying into the Bai family. She was afraid that she would not be able to do business anymore, as if she was about to be broken and locked in a cage.

Sometimes when Si Niang thought about it, it would be better to let Bai Yimao marry a young lady of a gentry. From then on, they went their own way, and maybe that would be good for everyone.

But sometimes when I think about it, I feel a little unwilling. The girl's heart is also a little tormented.

Two days ago, Si Niang was planning to go to the shop that morning. When she passed by the front yard, she saw Bai Yimao and several other Bai family members riding horses in the front yard.

The Bai family yard is big enough, but if they are so troubled, they will be scolded if they are seen by the adults at home.

"Si Niang, come and see this horse." Bai Yimao smiled and called Si Niang over.

"When did you buy horses?" The Siniang of the Bai family knew each other. The horse in front of her should be a new one. The brown-black color is not particularly strong. She hasn't grown up yet. She is just a half-big foal. She is a bit naughty, but it reminds Siniang of five pairs.

"I bought it a new one yesterday, do you want to ride it?" Bai Yimao asked her.

Si Niang looked around and didn't see the Bai family's adult in the front yard, so she smiled, turned over and rode a horse in the front yard.

The brown horse ran away in the yard again, without any rules, just running around.

Si Niang lowered her body, holding the reins in one hand and holding the horse's neck in the other. She was carried around in this big yard by it. It was indeed a bit fun, and she was also infected by the joyful emotions of the little foal. Si Niang couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yimao stood aside slantedly, leaning on a stick that came from somewhere in his hand, looking relaxed and casual.

Si Niang was carried by this little horse and ran around in the yard. Sometimes when she looked at something fun, the horse would stop running. Si Niang didn't run away no matter how she drove it away, and the children of the Bai family always teased it.

Just looking at the scene in front of you, it is also a peaceful time.
