I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 255 Xiao Liu’s Promise 2

Xiao Liu carefully inquired about the latest situation of the Liang family and confirmed that their family had only lost part of their wealth, and other aspects were still the same as before. Then she went to the door in person and tactfully inquired about the Liang family's requirements for the future son-in-law and in-laws.

After inquiring, Xiao Liu thought that she could probably make the match, so she approached Qi and introduced her to the Liang family and Liang Haitang.

"The girl is good-looking, hardworking, very sensible, and also very filial to the elderly in the family."

"That's right. She is really shy, blushes easily, and is also a bit tongue-tied. If anyone bullies her, she won't be able to say a single reason. If the in-laws she finds have bad intentions and want to bully her, they will definitely do it."

"Well, her parents know that she is easily taken advantage of, so they want to find a good in-law for their child, one with a good family tradition and reasonable and easy-going family members."

Xiao Liu also told Qi about the Liang family's composition, each person's character, and their general financial situation. After listening to her, Qi was generally very satisfied.

There are four people in their family. She, her husband and son are all very smart, so there is no need to marry another smart daughter-in-law.

Moreover, because her most beloved little daughter, Bai Jingyan, was like Liang Haitang, a shy, quiet, filial, and honest child who gave more than she asked for, making people always worry about her, Qi unconsciously had an inexplicable fondness for Liang Haitang, as if she were looking at a family member.

After discussing with Xiao Liu, it was agreed that on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Liu would bring the Liang family to Baijia Village to look for a date. Qi also asked Xiao Liu to find a marriage for her daughter.

Her little daughter Bai Jingyan is already fourteen years old, and it is time for her to get married.

"Jing Yan is a child who always rushes to the front when it comes to work, but always consciously lags behind when it comes to food and clothing. Her parents, grandparents, and brother line up in a circle before it is her turn. Honestly, it makes people worry."

"And her personality is somewhat similar to that girl Haitang you just mentioned. She's slow to speak and shy. To be honest, I'm actually very worried about marrying her off."

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Then I will help you look for a place in Baijia Village, the town, and several nearby villages."

Qi was worried, "Will the people in the town... be interested in my daughter? I'm afraid that when the child gets married, her in-laws will look down on her because her family is from the village."

Xiao Liu reminded her, "You, your son can marry a girl in town, why can't your daughter marry in town? Don't forget that Jingzhou from your third room was rewarded by His Majesty. Just based on the imperial edict that his family has, who dares to look down on his cousin?"

Qi slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, how could I have forgotten about this?"

This was also caused by the fact that Bai Jingzhou's family was too low-key. Even though they received a large reward and had a royal edict at home, Bai Jingzhou's family still did what they wanted. Not to mention putting on airs in front of the villagers, they didn't even have the energy to feel superior to others.

But the low profile of Bai Jingzhou's family does not mean that the emperor's rewards and imperial edicts are ineffective.

Her daughter has the support of her promising cousin Bai Jingzhou. As long as she doesn't have too high standards and doesn't use her daughter to pursue wealth and status, but only compares her family with her own, and honestly chooses a good family for her daughter where the family members are reasonable and easy to get along with, then even if her daughter gets married in the future, she will definitely be able to continue to live a comfortable life.

Of course, this "certainty" is not really that "certain". There are many shameless people in this world who live off freeloaders, not to mention that Qi has no plans to let her daughter engage in targeted poverty alleviation.

Whether the husband you find is of the same status and family background as yourself has never been a prerequisite for a woman to live a smooth and happy married life.

Xiao Liu obviously understood this better than Qi. She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help Jing Yan find out. I can't say that I will find everything for her, but at least I won't let her suffer poverty or be bullied."

Qi thanked Xiao Liu profusely and sent her off, then began to prepare for the wedding ceremony on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Because she asked Ning Cuizhi to help her family, Bai Jingzhou and his younger brothers and sisters soon heard some news from Ning Cuizhi.

Bai Jingxin was very curious about how good-looking Xiao Liu was talking about. She pulled Gu Wenxuan aside and talked to her about it, then asked her to go with her to find out.

Gu Wenxuan's position was different from hers. As Bai Jingzhou's fiancée, it was not appropriate for her to go to Bai Erbo's house to join in the fun like Bai Jingxin did. So she decided to wait for the day when he came over, and then "accidentally" meet him on the village road as if by chance.

She had just made up her mind to do the "bad idea" when her fourth and fifth brothers clamored to go along.

Gu Wenxuan thought about it and felt that it was relatively normal to have two followers with her rather than being alone, so she patiently made three rules with them to prevent them from making a fuss.

In order to watch the fun, the two little brats nodded obediently to whatever Gu Wenxuan said. However, to be on the safe side, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Wenxuan still used threats and inducements on them again.

When the two little ones heard her say that if they behaved well, they would be bought candied haws, but if they did something bad, they would be punished by not being allowed to eat candy or cakes for half a month, they subconsciously pursed their little mouths, indicating that they would definitely not talk nonsense.

Gu Wenxuan was satisfied. She held the two little ones and walked slowly towards Uncle Bai's house.

The Liang family came in an ox cart. The driver was Liang Haitang's eldest brother. In the cart sat Xiao Liu, Liang Haitang, and her parents.

Her second brother and two sisters-in-law did not come. Firstly, it was inconvenient for the two brothers to ask for leave from the shopkeeper at the same time, and secondly, they had elderly people and children in their family who needed to be taken care of.

Gu Wenxuan and her two younger brothers walked past the gate of Uncle Bai's house, and then past the gates of several other families next to theirs. They were hesitating whether to stop here, when her fourth and fifth brothers suddenly saw the ox cart coming towards them in the distance.

"Big sister! Big sister!" The two little ones didn't dare to talk nonsense or point their fingers, so they suppressed their inexplicable excitement and whispered to Gu Wenxuan that "someone is coming."

Gu Wenxuan held the hands of the two children and continued to walk forward slowly. When they passed the ox cart head-on, she took the opportunity to look at the girl on the cart openly.

She has a round face, fair skin, regular features, medium height, and a pair of big eyes that are both clear and watery. Compared with other young girls and wives in Baijia Village, her appearance is indeed very attractive.

Gu Wenxuan was very satisfied and continued walking forward, pulling her two younger brothers whose eyes were rolling.

It was not until the ox cart stopped at the door of Bai Erbo's house and Bai Erbo's entire family came out to warmly welcome the guests that Gu Wenxuan took her two younger brothers, turned a corner, and went home.
