Chapter 160 1 Aunt who loves her nephew 10
On the day of the scientific expedition, Luo Chen prepared a lot of things that were in accordance with the rules and allowed to be brought, and even took out a cashmere sweater for his son.
During the nine-day exam, Lao Bai waited outside the whole time. Over the years, Luo Chen had the final say at home, including him, who was arranged by Luo Chen. He had never been able to do anything for his son. He just waited outside the examination room and would take his son home as soon as he came out.
Because of practicing martial arts in recent years, Bai Yunxuan's physical fitness is very good and he has reached the level of a third-rate master. It may not be good enough in the martial arts world, but it is quite good among scholars. When he walked out with big strides, the students and candidates who came out with him looked at him in surprise.
Even Lao Bai was shocked. He had been waiting outside the examination hall these days and saw several candidates being carried out. They looked so haggard, as if their yang energy had been sucked away by a female ghost. It was really scary.
He had been worried about his son. Now, when he saw his son coming out, he looked fine, except that his hair was a little messy and he looked a little tired, there was no other problem. He quickly drove the carriage to take his son home.
Bai Yunwan and Bai Yunyu had already prepared food and toiletries at home, waiting for their brother to come home.
In the past two years, Luo Chen has handed over everything at home to his daughters, letting them take care of the housework themselves. Even though the youngest daughter is very skilled in martial arts and has reached the level of a second-rate master, she is also capable of both housework and housework, and is considered a lady from a noble family in the eyes of outsiders.
Luo Chen's embroidery has been sold to the capital, and even the queen in the palace has a large painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
So now all the ladies and daughters from wealthy families know Luo Chen's reputation. Some of them asked Luo Chen to teach their daughters embroidery, but Luo Chen refused. She didn't want to be a teacher. The young ladies from wealthy families were too difficult to serve, and the rules of their family were not something Luo Chen could bear.
The training over the years has paid off. Bai Yunxuan ranked 32nd among the scholars. When Luo Chen's old customers found out, they all sent gifts and even matchmakers came to the house. They were all daughters of merchants and some were from officials, but Bai Yunxuan was a concubine's daughter from a ninth-rank official's family, and Luo Chen looked down on her.
When asked Bai Yunxuan's opinion, the boy shyly said that it was all up to his mother.
When Luo Chen asked him what kind of person he liked, he just said that it was good if the woman was virtuous, could manage the housework well, and be filial to his parents.
Luo Chen was speechless. How could he find this? People in this era were trained according to this standard.
But looking at this nerdy son, if she doesn't help, this boy will probably be single.
Luo Chen looked at the information sent by the matchmaker and felt worried. In her eyes, these girls were all the same.
She didn't know their true personalities. They were all virtuous, gentle, kind, and considerate. Luo Chen was overwhelmed by them. Except for their different families and looks, they were all the same in her eyes.
After worrying for more than two months, Luo Chen still hasn't found a daughter-in-law of his choice.
On this day, after Bai Yunxuan came back, he was caught by Luo Chen, who asked him to find a woman he liked from these women. As a result, this boy did not say anything like "it's all up to me", but looked at Luo Chen hesitantly and said that he wanted to wait a little longer. Who is Luo Chen? He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this boy.
Luo Chen casually took out a message from a girl and said, "What are you waiting for? If you wait, all the flowers will wither. This is it. Mother will ask a matchmaker to come to your house tomorrow."
Bai Yunxuan said anxiously: "Mom, didn't you say that I could choose by myself? Why did you change your mind? You don't keep your word."
Luo Chen teased, "Didn't you say 'It's all up to mom'? Why are you changing your mind now? You're the one who doesn't keep your word. You're still a scholar."
"I, I'm not, I..." Bai Yunxuan's face turned red with anxiety, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
This is what annoys Luo Chen the most. Can't he just say what he wants to say directly? Why does a grown man have to be so hesitant and can't even say a complete sentence?
"What do you mean by 'you'? You are not only a scholar, but also a sissy scholar. You are not as straightforward as your sister at all."
Bai Yunxuan was annoyed by the complaints from his own mother, and immediately responded with a series of words: "I am not a sissy person. I do have a crush on someone, but I don't know how to tell you."
Luo Chen finally got the words out of him and said with a smile: "Just tell me if you have something to say. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Are you falling in love with a prostitute?"
Bai Yunxuan was shocked by his mother's thinking and quickly denied it: "No."
"Is she a married woman or a widow?"
Bai Yunxuan said with a smile: "Oh, none of them, my god, don't guess blindly."
"Then what are you afraid of? Why don't you dare tell me? Am I that scary?"
"No, no, it's just that I haven't confirmed my feelings with Yue'er yet." Bai Yunxuan said shyly.
"Yue'er, whose girl is this?"
"Yes, she is my master's junior sister."
"Oh, from Master Luo's family." Luo Chen, "Hey, I remember Master Luo's daughter got married a long time ago, and her son is already six years old. You, you really like a married woman?"
"She's not from Master Luo's family, she's the junior sister of Master Shen's family in the town's school." Bai Yunxuan wanted to bang his head against the wall. How could his mother's thinking be so unconventional.
"Oh, Shen Yue'er, what a familiar name."
How could she not sound familiar? Isn't this the niece-in-law Shen Yue'er who was poisoned to death by the original owner in the previous life? Luo Chen looked at his son in panic, wondering how could she be involved with his son in this life.
"You are in the county, and she is in the town. How did you find her?"
Bai Yunxuan said, "Mr. Shen and Mr. Liu had a disagreement over something, so he quit his teaching position and came to the prefecture. He is now teaching in our school. I saw him that day and went to visit him, and then I ran into Yue'er."
"Why are you unhappy?"
"I don't know. Master Shen didn't say."
Luo Chen was speechless. What was going on? Although she didn't kill Shen Yue'er in the previous life, it was the original owner who killed her. Now she suddenly became his daughter-in-law, and Luo Chen felt a little awkward.
Bai Yunxuan looked at Luo Chen's unhappy face and his heart began to beat. His mother wouldn't look down on Yue'er, right? What should he do? Master Shen is a juren, but he heard from his sister that there is an official family who wants to marry him.
"Mom, Yue'er has a good temper and is filial. She can read after studying with the teacher, and she has something to talk about with my son. Girls from other families don't read, so they may not understand what my son says."
Luo Chen looked at his son's cautious look and found it funny: "You haven't confirmed her feelings yet, so make sure of it first."
Bai Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother had no objection. This sentence meant that there was still something to talk about.
In the evening, Luo Chen took out a pair of jade bracelets from the space and gave them to his son without saying anything. Bai Yunxuan happily held the bracelets and laughed foolishly.
