Chapter 81 The second brother’s peach blossom refuses to bloom

Bai Ruozhu didn't know how to answer the question, so she could only chuckle twice and said, "I don't dare to think about it. As long as he is healthy in the future and does his duty as a human being, it will be fine."

Zhou Taohua didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to say this. She always felt that shouldn't parents hope that their sons would be successful in the future? Why does Bai Ruozhu hope that her son has no future?

Bai Ruozhu saw her confusion and laughed in her heart. How could the little girl understand the truth that "peace is blessing"?

Zhou Taohua came back to her senses and put a smile on her face again, "Where are you going? I didn't interrupt your conversation, right?"

Bai Ruozhu wanted to say sorry for disturbing her, but she felt it was inappropriate. Unexpectedly, Fang Guizhi rushed over and said, "We are just walking around casually. If there is no need to disturb you, let's go together."

Fang Guizhi didn't see Zhou Taohua's thoughts, but she had a good impression of Zhou Taohua. Indeed, in the memory of my predecessor, Zhou Taohua was a pretty good girl, with a cheerful personality and she could chat with the girls in the village, but...

However, Bai Ruozhu underestimated Zhou Taohua, and she felt that her second brother would definitely look down on Zhou Taohua. Of course, it wasn't that her second brother was too high-minded and didn't like the daughter of a farmer, but she felt that his second brother was focused on studying and gaining fame and didn't want to get married too early. Men in the Danliang Kingdom got married much later. Nowadays, men are encouraged to build a successful career before getting married. But how many years do women have to wait?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu secretly decided not to get too close to Zhou Taohua, lest the little girl think too much. Of course, she couldn't do anything to make her fall out with Zhou Taohua. Zhou Taohua was just in love with her, and she didn't have any bad intentions. Even if she and Zhou Taohua were to have a straight face, she couldn't bear it.

Sure enough, the three of them were chatting while walking, and it didn't take long for Zhou Taohua to turn the topic to Bai Zepei.

"Sister Ruozhu, your second brother studies too hard. It seems that he hasn't seen brother Zepei go out for a long time."

Bai Ruozhu's smile was a little stiff, and he laughed twice and said, "Yes, he is focused on studying. The provincial examination will be held soon."

"Don't be too tired then. I hope brother Zepei will get good grades in the exam." Zhou Taohua said, her cheeks flushed, obviously shy.

"I want to thank you on behalf of my second brother." Bai Ruozhu hurriedly said politely, then held her waist and said, "Oh, I'm a little tired, I have to go back and rest."

Zhou Taohua's eyes lit up, and she never let go of her little hand playing with Bai Ruozhu's arm, saying, "I happen to be fine. I'll take you back, just in time to see Uncle Bai and Er Niang."

This time Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. Was she luring a wolf into the house?

"I want to go back and take a nap, so I can't accompany you." Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said, don't let this girl disturb her second brother. Thinking about that second brother who is so shrewd, she is really afraid of getting angry. Upper body.

Fang Guizhi is not very smart, but she has been with Bai Ruozhu for a long time, and she can immediately detect Bai Ruozhu's attitude. Although she doesn't understand why Bai Ruozhu avoids Zhou Taohua, she will cooperate with Bai Ruozhu unconditionally.

"Sister Taohua, let's not disturb Ruozhu. Why don't we go to my house and see the flowers I drew?" Fang Guizhi said and took Zhou Taohua's arm, which was even closer than Zhou Taohua held Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu almost burst into laughter. Her best friend Guizhi was really good at observing people's emotions. If her mother hadn't been too patriarchal, she wouldn't necessarily have lost to Bai Ruozhu's predecessor.

"Then you go and play. When I feel better in a few days, you can come and play with me again." Bai Ruozhu added another blow tactfully.

Zhou Taohua's face looked a little ugly. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Bai Ruozhu blinked at Fang Guizhi and walked slowly towards home.

"Sister Taohua, let's go." Fang Guizhi pulled Zhou Taohua away with a smile. Fortunately, although Zhou Taohua was a little disappointed, she did not anger Fang Guizhi. Later, she simply forgot about it and chatted enthusiastically with Fang Guizhi for a while.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief when she returned home. During dinner, she couldn't help but look at her second brother a few more times. She thought to herself that no matter how steady and mature her second brother was, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy after all. How would he feel when he heard someone had a crush on him?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but she didn't expect her second brother to suddenly look up at her and ask, "My face is blooming? Why are my eyes so straight?"

So sharp! Bai Ruozhu thought while grinding his teeth, but with a smile on his face he said, "I'm thinking that I will have a sister-in-law soon, and I don't know when I will have a second sister-in-law."

Lin Ping'er became more energetic when she heard this, "Your second brother is getting older, it's time to give him a good look."

Unexpectedly, Bai Zepei didn't blush or be shy like his elder brother when he mentioned getting married. He was still very calm, and even looked a little cold, which was simply too boring.

"Mom, don't bother. I don't want to get married before I have passed the exams for merit." Bai Zepei's tone was light, but it contained an undoubted flavor.

Lin Ping'er was stunned and couldn't help but look at Bai Yihong. The second brother was determined to give up. It seemed that no one could say anything.

Bai Ruozhu felt so bored and pouted and said, "Many girls in the village should be sad and crying. Second brother, you don't know that there are still people asking about you today."

Originally, she thought Bai Zepei would ask who it was, but it turned out that Bai Zepei was not curious at all and said calmly, "What do you have to do with me?" His tone was completely uninterested.

Well, Bai Ruozhu knew that her second brother had a high vision.

Seeing that the second brother was not fun at all, Bai Ruozhu turned her attention to the eldest brother and said, "There are many girls who are sad about the eldest brother getting married, and they all envy Sister Caiyue."

Sure enough, Bai Zehao blushed and said hesitantly: "Little sister, please stop teasing me."

But when it came to this, Lin Ping'er became proud and said with bright eyes: "I, Lin Ping'er, have not had much ability in my life. I just gave birth to three good children. I am not bragging. Your eldest brother and second brother are definitely the best in the village." Outstanding young man, so many people want to get married to our family."

Bai Yihong chuckled after hearing this, with pride written all over his face.

Bai Ruozhu quietly shrank her neck. This outstanding daughter of hers had accidentally become an abandoned wife whose husband's life and death were unknown. She hoped her mother would not think of this, otherwise she would be sad again.

Fortunately, the whole family was busy and no one thought about immortality, so Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later, Bai Ruozhu gave Guizhi more than twenty pieces of dried fish and asked her to help sell them in the town. She didn't expect the sales to be so good again. Guizhi had met noble people before, but she might not always be able to do so. Arrive?

But Guizhi gave her another surprise. All the dried fish were sold out, and the price was still a good price of one tael of silver sequins.
