Chapter 140 Qiaoqiao, do you want to kiss me?
As the saying goes, the New Year comes after Laba Festival. After every household in Qing County seals the rattan fruit wine, they begin to prepare for the New Year in full swing.
The first thing is to wish you a happy new year.
Neighbors wish you a happy new year, while distant relatives wish you a happy new year. The people in the Lin family don’t have many distant relatives, so they are only busy before the New Year.
What Baizhi hates most is the period of New Year greetings.
Wenxianglou is a big business, and there are many people who need to give gifts before the New Year. This year, she hired Zhou Shensi, and Bai Zhi thought she was relieved, but unfortunately Zhou Shensi went home early to celebrate the New Year, and the gift-giving task fell on her again.
When someone gave her a gift, she would give it to others, and then give the things she received from others to yet others. As long as there were people around, she would be faced with these troubles... Bai Zhi sat at the table watering the jasmine, chanting the word "delay" and not wanting to move forward.
He didn't care that the jasmine was almost drowned.
In the days since she came back, Bai Zhi has deliberately kept herself busy and completely forgotten about Chu Yunchuan. Even at night, she has to practice martial arts until she is extremely sleepy before going to bed. In this way, she falls asleep and opens her eyes again, it is the next day, without any time to think about anything else.
As for the dream in which Prince Jing came in to cause trouble, Bai Zhi had no right to deal with that.
But now it’s time to get busy with New Year’s greetings.
Bai Zhi closed her eyes and howled - compared to Bai Zaonian, she should think about Chu Yunchuan.
The pot of jasmine was originally placed outside the window. It was freezing cold recently, so Bai Zhi moved it into the house and poured some warm water on it. This choking ancestor does not bloom in winter, but Bai Zhi can still tolerate it.
The flowers can be endured, but the overwhelming longing that comes back after being suppressed is really unbearable.
Bai Zhi was not sure what King Jing was supposed to do, but one thing was that no matter what business you were in, you would be busier towards the end of the year.
"Ah..." Bai Zhi scratched her hair in annoyance, "Why isn't it Little New Year yet?"
"Eh? Sister, who are you talking to?" Qiaoqiao pushed the door open and looked around in confusion, "Brother Yun is back?"
Bai Zhi slumped on the desk and said, "No, he won't be back until the New Year."
"What kind of work is that outside? It's so tiring." Qiaoqiao pouted and rubbed her way to sit on Baizhi's stool. "It's not like my family is broke. Why do I have to work outside? Tell Brother Yun to quit his job and go home. Come with me to the construction site. Brother Yun is strong and the construction site will definitely be willing to hire him."
"...He can't give up his job." Bai Zhi pushed Qiaoqiao out with her buttocks, and asked with a squinting look, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Sister, you are so stingy that you won't even let me sit on a stool... So many people came to our house, saying that when mom was wronged, they made a scene without knowing the truth, and they felt bad about it, so they came together to pay New Year's greetings and give New Year's gifts. Sister, you don't know, I can't even recognize who is who among so many people, and they all praised me for my promising future, asking me what I plan to do in the future, saying that it's amazing for a girl like me to be elected as Gong Cao... It's so annoying, sister, I hate it most when people say I should be Gong Cao, it's not that I want to be Gong Cao, it's that only Gong Cao wants me! I don't know anyone, but they say this and that to me, so I came to hide from you..."
It was too noisy. Bai Zhi directly covered Qiaoqiao's mouth and pleaded with a weak voice: "Ancestor, just hide quietly and don't make any noise."
Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and suddenly changed her tone: "Sister, are you worried?"
Bai Zhi did not hide anything. She put her arm on Qiaoqiao and said dejectedly, "Sister is so annoying."
"I know! Do you want Brother Yun to come back soon?" Qiaoqiao chuckled, picked up the non-existent goat beard, and said in the tone of a master, "Xianqi, you are suffering from lovesickness."
"How to cure it?"
"This is easy. A heart disease needs a heart medicine. Write a letter now and ask Brother Yun to come back immediately."
"I told you, he can't give up this job..."
Qiaoqiao slammed the table and stood up, saying righteously: "What kind of job is more important than my sister! Could it be that he has become a prince?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
By some strange coincidence, you actually were right.
"Even a prince has to take care of his wife, otherwise why would he get married?"
"It's not that your big brother Yun doesn't care about me, it's me who told him not to come back. I was afraid that he couldn't concentrate on his work..."
"Don't make excuses for him, sister. There are thousands of men in the world. You can't just stick with one."
"…Ancestor, where did you learn these words?"
"Sister Ying Xu taught me that!"
Bai Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Tu Yingxu? She would say that again?"
"Of course," Qiaoqiao puffed out her chest, "Sister Yingxu told me that if Granny Lu is suggesting a marriage for me, I must open my eyes and prefer to be single rather than to marry someone who is not my best friend. Of course I know this, I will definitely marry a great hero, so of course I would rather be single than to marry someone who is not my best friend!"
"Qiaoqiao." Bai Zhi hugged Qiaoqiao in her arms and asked seriously, "Do you want to get married? If you do, I will let matchmaker Lu know and ask her to find you a few young generals. You can choose one by one."
Qiaoqiao's face suddenly turned red, and after a while she stammered, "Not really, not in a hurry..."
"Really not in a hurry?" Bai Zhi deliberately dragged out her tone, "Then when I go to matchmaker Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings, tell her to stop caring about you... Are you going to choose or not?"
“Hey, hey, hey, hey!” Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, “Pick! But…but I still want to be an official. Can you wait until I become an official before choosing?”
"... Become an official? Then when do you have to wait?"
"Sister! Why don't you have confidence in my becoming an official?" Qiaoqiao said angrily, "I will definitely continue to take the imperial examinations. I must become an official!"
Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "Why do you push yourself so hard? Fame and wealth are just a waste of time and energy. Qiaoqiao, I just hope you can live a happy life. I don't ask for anything else."
The most important thing is not to stray too far from the pursuit of fame and fortune, and end up with nothing, like she did in her previous life.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Baizhi and said, "No wonder Sister Wanwan always says you have no ambition."
Bai Zhi: "...you little ungrateful bastard."
"I will definitely be an official, sister. Look how powerful mother is. I want to be an official as powerful as mother..." Qiaoqiao was talking when she suddenly screamed, "Oh! Mother! That's right! Mother asked me to help her repair the box!"
"What box are you repairing?"
"A board of my mother's old things box was broken, and she asked me to help her fix it. She told me a few days ago, but I...I forgot about it." Qiaoqiao scratched the back of her head, "Now my mother is going to accuse me of listening with one ear and letting it out with the other."
Bai Zhi was happy: "Then go quickly. Mother really knows how to use people well. She didn't waste the skills you learned in Gongcao at all."
Qiaoqiao looked Baizhi up and down and grinned.
Bai Zhi's eyelids twitched: "...What?"
"I can't move such a heavy box by myself." Qiaoqiao grabbed Baizhi's arm and said, "Conscript a man!"
Bai Zhi: "What?"
