Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Jian Qi also noticed Bai Ruozhu's gaze. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The sword has been found. It is just as the owner guessed. There are male and female swords in that sword. Mine is a male sword, and the one hidden in Zhuo's hand is a male one." Female sword, when he saw my sword, he became greedy and wanted to get together both male and female swords to use the sword's greater power."

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "It is indeed him, but why have you wasted these days?"

"Na Zangzhuo learned the formation and was very cunning, so he hid the sword. Even though Xuanmiaozi was sure that he had done the formation in the sword-washing pool, he refused to admit it. As a result, my black gold sword was never found. Originally I wanted to torture him, but Xuan Miaozi stopped me, so I wasted time."

Bai Ruozhu's face turned cold, "Did the Huashan faction want to protect their shortcomings? That's why they didn't return your sword? They said they owed me a favor not long ago, how could they be so embarrassed?"

"Elder Xuanjizi and the leader were helping me find the sword, and finally found it. However, Zangzhuo was unwilling and threw the sword under the broken wall of Huashan Mountain." Jian Qi gritted his teeth and said, " I killed Zangzhuo immediately, and Miaozi wanted to kill me, but the head of Huashan stopped him."

"Later, Huashan sent people to the valley to look for the sword, but they could not find it. I saw that it had been delayed for so long, so I had to rush back first. Elder Xuanjizi said that once the sword is found, he will personally deliver it to me. come over."

It was rare for Jian Qi to speak so many words at once. He used to have a bad voice and couldn't talk much. Later, it was also due to his personality that he seldom spoke. So he was very uncomfortable at the moment and couldn't help but cough a few times, as if his throat was uncomfortable.

Bai Ruozhu's face turned cold when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That Zangzhuo deserves to be killed, well done! It doesn't matter if she offends an elder of the Huashan sect. She was the one who didn't care in the first place. She can teach the land like this, and she still protects her shortcomings." If you are unreasonable, you may not be a good person.”

Jiang Yichun knew that Jian Qi's sword had not been recovered, so he immediately said generously: "I will find you a good sword. You can use it temporarily." After saying that, he winked at Bai Ruozhu proudly, meaning that he was interested in Are her men generous enough?

Bai Ruozhu rolled his eyes. It's not like she has no money, nor can she buy a good sword and give it to her subordinates. How proud is he?

The next day, Mrs. Meng's post was sent over. Bai Ruozhu told Jiang Yichun about Mrs. Meng's intentions. Jiang Yichun said that he would go to Mrs. Meng in person to express his gratitude when he had the opportunity.

The banquet will be held in three days, and Bai Ruozhu began to prepare clothes and jewelry. Although there was no shortage of fashionable styles at home, Mrs. Meng also said that she still wanted to prepare a brand new outfit.

During this period, Fang Guizhi also came back and gave her some advisers. Now Fang Guizhi knows best what is fashionable among ladies and ladies in Beiyu City.

Bai Ruozhu saw that Fang Guizhi looked good and had a confident smile on her face from time to time, and she felt happy for her in her heart. However, she vaguely felt that there was something sweet in Guizhi's smile. Could it be that she was in love?

"Guizhi, I found a matchmaker to help you find some good families. Don't worry, I'm looking for a matchmaker with a good reputation in the city. I won't introduce you randomly." Bai Ruozhu said deliberately.

Sure enough, Guizhi's face changed drastically. If it were in the past, she must have been shy and would not let Bai Ruozhu Hu come, but at this moment she had forgotten even her shyness, and there was only an anxious expression on her face.

"Ruozhu, I don't want to marry, so don't look for me." Guizhi said anxiously.

Bai Ruozhu didn't want to beat around the bush with her and asked directly: "Do you have someone in mind? Why don't you tell me and I'll help you see if it's suitable."

She knew that person was definitely not her second brother, because Guizhi had completely given up on him before.

Guizhi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "We have the best relationship. You gave me everything I have today. I shouldn't hide it from you. It's Qin Kaichang."

Bai Ruozhu thought of two people, one was Wei San and the other was Qin Kaichang, and she guessed it right.

"His family is not in Beiyu City, and he wants to come to our house to propose marriage after high school." Guizhi blushed and hesitated.

Bai Ruozhu probably understands Qin Kaichang's plan. He is afraid that Guizhi will be wronged by proposing a marriage now, and the Bai family's current family background is much better than that of the poor boy Qin Kaichang. He comes to propose marriage rashly, and is also afraid that the Bai family will not Agree, others may even misunderstand that he is interested in the Bai family's wealth, and Fang Guizhi just wants to take advantage of it.

But Fang Guizhi is not young anymore. What Qin Kaichang is talking about is "high school", which is not just about passing the imperial examination. He will have to wait until he passes the palace examination, which will be next year.

Of course, Guizhi was only eighteen years old at that time, so she was not an old girl, but was it so easy to get a title on the gold medal list? If Qin Kaichang fails the exam, he will try again in three years. At that time, will he marry Guizhi first, or will he continue to fight for face for another three years? Guizhi, can you wait?

"Guizhi, you have to think clearly. It is not easy to get into high school. Even my second brother is not sure about it. You must know that the second brother ranked first in the final exam. You may have to wait for more than a year. , and to put it bluntly, if he is in high school and is in a new environment in the capital, will he really not have a new understanding?" Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said tactfully.

After all, Guizhi is just the adopted daughter of the Bai family, and outsiders also know her identity. Moreover, Guizhi had never read any books. Later, he learned writing and accounting from Bai Ruozhu, all for business purposes. Qin Kaichang is a civil servant. Once he graduates from high school and becomes an official in the court, he will also be a civil servant. Literati love to be arty, but Guizhi, Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all incomprehensible. Will he really not be disliked by Qin Kaichang in the future?

The blush on Fang Guizhi's face faded a little, and she seemed to have regained her composure. She ignored her shyness and said, "I also thought about this. I told him to wait for two years. If it doesn't work, we will never be together." Bar."

Bai Ruozhu heard what she said and knew that she had already thought it through and had reminded her of what should be reminded. It was useless to say more. She just hoped that Guizhi's marriage would be better this time.

In a blink of an eye, the day came when the Meng family held a banquet. Bai Ruozhu dressed up and went to the banquet. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the steward Meng Qiu waiting at the door.

"Miss Bai, please come here. The old lady wants you to go to Xiaoyaoju first, and then appear with her." Meng Qiu said.

"Okay, I'll follow you there right away." Bai Ruozhu nodded and said.

Meng Qiu took Bai Ruozhu to Youranju and found that Meng Jinse and Meng Jinxia were already there. Meng Jinse had a very good appearance. In fact, she was more beautiful in bright colors, but she deliberately wore something plain today. She smiled at Bai Ruozhu, Said: "Sister Ruozhu, you are here."

Meng Jinxia was dressed more plainly, and because she had a heart problem, her face looked a little pale, giving her a sickly feeling.

Bai Ruozhu finally figured it out. The two older ladies from the Meng family planned to serve as foils for her today.
