“Your brother and I are going to Jingling, and I don’t know when we’ll be back, so I picked a few things to give you, Baoshu, and Miaorong as a memento.”
Mrs. Cai took out a handkerchief to wipe the non-existent sweat on her forehead and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Baoxin. It seemed that these girls had indeed put it in the wrong place. They had directly left it in the courtyard. They could not even tell that it was good.
“This is my dowry when I got married. I’ve only worn that mask once…You also know that I’m a concubine’s daughter. I can give anything good to a legitimate daughter, but this head is really a good thing. At that time, I had a lot of thoughts to fight for it.”
She was afraid that Xiao Baoxin would take her face for granted and confess everything that happened back then.
She didn’t feel any heartache if she gave it to him. She didn’t want to think that the thing she wanted to have had fallen into someone else’s hands. If she thought that she was giving away something bad, that would be cutting into her heart.
“Aren’t you also discussing marriage? I don’t know when you’ll get married, and I don’t know if you’ll be able to rush back by then, so I thought I’d send this noodles over to you first. At least it’s a bit of my will.”
Xiao Baoxin retracted his fist stance and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. His smile was even more brilliant than the autumn sun in the sky.
“Thank you, sister-in-law. If sister-in-law says it’s good stuff, then it can’t be wrong.”As he spoke, he asked Youmei to move a few boxes into the house.
The boxes of the exhausted maids were handed over to You Mei. They were like light paper boxes, and she easily carried them into the boxes.
Cai Shi: It was said that wherever her aunt went, there would be no good people around her. How was this a maid? She was clearly a walking ox cart that could carry and endure hardships.
“I also picked out a small gift for Qingniang and Andu, but I haven’t had the time to send it over. Since sister-in-law is here, let’s go in and sit. After I change my clothes, 1’11 send it over to Qingniang and Andu.”Xiao Baoxin called Madam Cai into the room.
Xiao Baoxin prepared a box of gold hairpins, hairpins, and various jewelry suitable for a young lady for Qingniang. The value was naturally not as good as the head and face of Lady Cai, but it was still considered a big deal and very considerate.
Qingniang was four years old this year, so she didn’t need any jewelry. However, she would start dressing up in a year or two, so she just had to save it in advance.
In addition to the Golden Lock of Longevity in Andu, Xiao Baoxin also found her first sword in her life from the warehouse. It was made by a skilled craftsman hired by his father. Similarly, in order to attract her when she was young, it was extremely beautiful. There were more than ten gems on the scabbard. Although the blade was light, it was basically unedged. It was afraid that it would hurt others when she was young. It was more like a decoration than a mere decoration. It was just about to arouse her interest in practicing the sword by its appearance.
In fact, Xiao Baoxin felt that if her father was no longer an official in the imperial court, he could teach children martial arts and not fool them to death!
Even Madam Cai, who usually disliked brandishing knives and spears, couldn’t help but praise it when she saw it.
Looking at the gift, she knew that Xiao Baoxin had put in a lot of effort. Mrs. Cai was also happy and became even more intimate with Xiao Baoxin.
He immediately told Xiao Baoxin about the couple’s private conversation.”Your brother is still worried about you. The attitude of the Xie family…What if you get bullied when you get married?”
Xiao Baoxin laughed.” I’m also someone who can be bullied.”
Mrs. Cai choked when she heard that. Fine, she actually didn’t want to leave Jiankang. Just for Xiao Baoxin, she wanted to see what the follow-up plot would be like when her aunt got married in the future. Would she still be like a little girl? Would she really want to ‘fight’ a new situation?
“All Niang told me that it was Madam Yuan who took the initiative to propose the marriage. This matter cannot be wrong.”Xiao Baoxin gave Cai shi a peace of mind and put aside everything.
Ever since she heard from Xiao Jing ‘ai that Madam Cai would die, she had been on guard in all aspects and took good care of her. Madam Cai became closer to her because of this. Later, she exposed Lu Liu bribing Nanny Feng, which saved Madam Cai’s life again. Madam Cai almost wanted to give her everything.
The human heart was made of flesh, and Xiao Baoxin was not a stone that could not be heated. The two sisters-in-law were very close and harmonious, and even Sikong Xiao was amazed. Before this, Madam Cai had always had a ‘none of your business’ and ‘none of my business’ look on her face. Who would have thought that after the war, the Xiao family’s reputation would be ruined. The relationship between the Xiao family was actually better. Even Madam Cai was amiable to everyone she met, and she no longer had the arrogance she had before.
When Madam Cai heard this, she didn’t say anything else.
Since the parents of the two families had decided, what could the younger generation do? Stop your aunt from marrying the Gawylock Putting aside her aunt’s reputation in Jiankang, that was really… It was a matter of opinion. The Emperor said that her father was like a tiger, but her daughter was like a tiger. However, she was too fierce. She had to be beaten up.
The official website had a good reputation, but it couldn’t withstand the public’s unanimous praise.
Moreover, her aunt was about to turn seventeen. If she didn’t get married soon, it would really be difficult to find her.
She also had a daughter, so she could understand Madam Xie’s worries about marriage.
“Anyway, you have some idea in your heart. When you reach your in-laws ‘house, you can’t be stubborn at every turn.”Mrs. Cai tried her best to persuade him,”Let’s convince people with virtue…” If there are people who are blind, cough cough, we can just use our mouths to scare them. It’s your fault for attacking. Abba would definitely not sit idly by and let his in-laws bully him. However, after all, he had married into someone else, so it was not good to beat him up every other day…You have to be careful about everything. You have to pay attention to your reputation.”
She tried to persuade her again and again until she was tired of listening to her own words. She said the truth,
“The Xie family is too high up for us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have so many troubles.”
The Xie family was a top-notch aristocratic family. They could not be beaten, scolded, or hurt. If she found an official from a poor family, just the name of Sikong Xiao was enough to suppress her in-laws and provide for her for the rest of her life.
Xiao Baoxin naturally knew that Madam Cai’s heart was completely on her side.” Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’m not someone who doesn’t know my limits.”
Cai Shi: Then you are a stubborn donkey who knows the depth of the river, but still insists on crossing the river. It is even more difficult to deal with.
The sister-in-law chatted for a while more. Cai Baoxin took the opportunity to change his clothes and went to the front yard with Mrs. Cai to send gifts to his nephews and nieces. The two of them chatted as they walked. Along the way, Mrs. Cai held Xiao Baoxin’s arm affectionately. Xiao Baoxin was already on the verge of breaking down from her words and the various worries that popped up from time to time in his heart.
Actually, Xiao Baoxin had always been very confident that he was worthy of Xie Xian in all aspects, especially in terms of looks.
At the very least, they were a perfect match, right?
However, ever since the news of the marriage between the Xie and Xiao families spread, she, Xiao Baoxin, had once again become a little rogue in the limelight. The doubts about her were already too numerous to count, and they could topple mountains and overturn seas.
To be honest, she said that she was lucky. The man was lustful and took a fancy to her face. To be honest, she directly pointed out that she must have used underhanded methods to make the Xie family submit. She ‘sacrificed herself for righteousness’.
It was just that there were too many people talking about it, and they were all discussing it behind their backs. They couldn’t stop the real person.. Otherwise, Xiao Baoxin would have taught them what ‘underhanded methods’ were!
