Man Bao felt very strange, "Dad and mother are actually willing to come to the capital!"

Not to mention her mother, her father would never think of traveling far away. He was afraid of traveling far away.

"Master Bai and the villagers worked together to persuade Dad." Xiao Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "As soon as the letter you wrote came home, Dad was so happy that he didn't sleep much for two nights. He even ran to burn incense for his uncle and aunt.

Now everyone in the village will know."

She said, "Dad was so happy that what he said was a little exaggerated for a while. Some people in the village were not convinced, so they coaxed him to come to the capital to see you and see what the capital is like."

"It happened that Mr. Bai wanted to marry his eldest daughter-in-law, and he was discussing with the Cheng family to go to the capital to get married, so he encouraged dad with the villagers. Dad couldn't stand the persuasion at the time and agreed on the spot," Xiao Qian said to Man Bao in a low voice.

Whispered, "Actually, my father-in-law regretted it as soon as he agreed. He was afraid that he would cause trouble for you after going to Beijing. Moreover, the capital is too far away from our Qili Village. The farthest place my father has ever been is Yizhou City."

"But Mr. Bai came to greet him personally the next day to collect his luggage. It was useless for dad to pretend to be sick. Mom thought that the sixth son was getting married in the capital. After all, he was the last youngest son and was already a little weaker than the other children. He couldn't do it.

My parents are not here either, so we might as well come to the capital together to arrange the wedding for Lao Liu." Xiao Qian said, "This way Lao Liu's face will be bright and he can also look at you."

She sighed and said, "Now that you are an official, you must be busier than before. I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown again."

Man Bao said, "I will go back as soon as I have time."

Xiao Qian said angrily, "The capital is far away from our village. It takes twenty days to go back and forth. Now that you are an official, you have to do things. Don't always think about having fun like before..."

Man Bao was scolded and agreed with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, how long can you stay this time?"

Xiao Qian thought for a while and then said, "Not necessarily, but I will leave only after Lao Liu's marriage is over."

Liu Lang's wedding date is set for the eighth day of September, and there is still a month until it arrives.

While cooking, Xiao Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "But it is indeed much hotter in the north than in our Luojiang County. Our convoy moved very fast at the beginning, but slowed down after arriving in Liangzhou. At noon, it was Shenshi

We didn’t even dare to drive when it happened.”

Man Bao said, "Last year it wasn't that hot. This year the northern area is extremely dry. I'm worried about the situation at home."

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Although there is less rain at home this year, it is still pretty good. It is not yet drought. We have harvested the summer harvest before we go to Beijing. We only have the autumn harvest. Your second brother and the others can do it at home. Then we can do it again."

Just ask some people to help.”

Nowadays, Lao Zhou's family has fewer people at home and more fields, so they are used to hiring part-time workers.

Even ordinary villagers can see that the old Zhou family is gradually becoming prosperous, let alone Mr. Bai.

He privately told Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai, "I'm afraid it won't take two generations for the Zhou family to catch up with our Bai family."

Mrs. Bai said, "Why, even though our Bai family is a side branch, we are from a noble family and have accumulated hundreds of years of experience here."

Mr. Bai said, "There are too many children in their family. As long as there are one or two in each generation who are promising, and the others are not sneaky, just watch. It won't take two generations to catch up with our Bai family."

He sighed and said, "Look at Erlang and Dalang now. If you look forward ten years or five years, who can tell that Erlang is more promising than Dalang?"

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai stopped talking.

The reason why they are willing to advance their wedding date when they get married is because there is news from the capital that Erlang has entered Chongwen Hall to study.

Entering Chongwen Hall is equivalent to becoming the prince's companion. As long as he does not follow the prince in rebellion in the future, he will definitely have a bright future.

As his brother-in-law, Bai Dalang, who was also studying in the Imperial College, would definitely not be any worse, so Mr. Bai just made a tentative mention and agreed to advance the wedding date after getting married, and was willing to send the bride to the capital.

Of course, Mr. Bai also agreed to buy the young couple a house in the capital. This way they would be more comfortable and free from the constraints of his parents-in-law. In the future, if Bai Dalang becomes an examiner and becomes an official, he will have a place to live in the capital.

Before coming, Mr. Bai had made some mental preparations, but when he arrived at Zhou Mansion in the capital, he realized that he had underestimated Zhou Man.

It is said to be a house with only three entrances, but is this an ordinary three-entry house?

Mr. Bai hadn't had time to walk the entire length, but just from the west side through the main courtyard to the east side to the courtyard where they lived, he knew that it couldn't be small, not to mention that there was such a big garden behind the courtyard where they lived.

He finally understood why his aunt also lived in Zhou's house.

Mr. Bai sighed and asked his two sons, "Why don't you see Mr. Zhuang?"

"In reality, I went to have a wedding banquet last night and should be back today."

Mr. Bai nodded, thought for a long time, and then sighed, "Da Lang, it is impossible to buy you a house in Chongyuanfang. I plan to look for it in Changqing Lane to see if I can buy you a house for one or two people."

The small house you entered, you can live there when you get married."

Bai Dalang didn't have any objections, but he looked at his younger brother, "Where's Erlang?"

Bai Erlang raised his head in confusion, "What are you doing to me?"

Master Bai patted him on the head, and then said to Bai Dalang, "Erlang has been following Mr. Zhuang for a long time, and he is naughty, so let him live here, and his husband and senior brothers and sisters will take care of him. You can live peacefully with your wife."

.”

Bai Dalang nodded.

Bai Erlang opened his mouth. He didn't want to live with his eldest brother. Compared with his eldest brother who was always away from each other, he was more familiar with Bai Shan Zhouman.

Bai Dalang hesitated and asked, "Dad, when is the wedding date..."

"Let's go and calculate our days. August 22nd is the best day."

Bai Dalang was stunned for a moment and then said, "It's less than a month. I have to buy a house and decorate it. Is it too late?"

"I have asked your cousin to help me find a house. If I still can't find it in two days, I will temporarily borrow their house in Erliu Lane. I will move there after I find a house and pack it up."

If Mr. Bai dares to set this date with Cheng Jia, he will definitely be successful.

He said, "The most important thing now is where to live as a family. Previously, their family planned to rent a yard or book an inn to live in after going to Beijing, but living outside is a bit inconvenient..."

While eating cheese, Bai Erlang said, "Then we can live here, since we have a free yard anyway."

After hearing this, Mr. Bai said angrily, "This is not your home, so you have to make the decision."

Bai Erlang said unconvinced, "Manbao is very hospitable, and the Zhou family is not bad either. The yard is empty, so why can't it be used by the future sister-in-law to live in? Just wait, they will definitely keep guests. If you just let the whole family go,

, the Zhou family is really embarrassed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came back and said, "Second Young Master, Miss Man said she was going to the guest house to see the bride after lunch, and asked if you would like to go with her."

Bai Erlang looked at his father proudly.
