Chapter 1366: Mr. Bai’s Place of Use
Bai Erlang was eager to try, "Dad, how about we go with big brother to take a look?"
Bai Shan also said: "Anyway, as long as my eldest cousin agrees to this kind of thing, the rest will be left to the elders and the matchmaker. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not."
Bai Dalang nodded repeatedly, fearing that his father would detain him, and quickly promised, "Dad, as long as you let me meet Miss Cheng Er, I can give you some advice. When the time comes to get engaged and get married, it's all up to you."
Mr. Bai had a headache: "Haven't you seen it?"
Bai Dalang: "That's called seeing her. It's only been a day and I almost forgot what she looks like."
Bai Shan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mr. Bai muttered, "Who doesn't marry like this?"
Bai Dalang pointed at Bai Shan and said, "He's not like that."
He said, "I don't expect to get along for several years like my cousins and junior sisters before getting engaged, but at least we should actually meet each other, right?"
You didn't mention these conditions before you met Bai Shan.
Mr. Bai realized that he seemed to have shot himself in the foot, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also realized it and was about to sneak away, but he was stared at as soon as he stood up. He hesitated and said, "How about we discuss the eyebrow-raising matter?"
Mr. Bai asked angrily, "What are you drawing eyebrows for?"
Bai Erlang took the opportunity to tease Bai Shan, "Dad, Bai Shan wants to draw his own eyebrows. How dare a man learn to draw eyebrows from a girl?"
Upon hearing this, Master Bai glanced at Bai Erlang, then turned his head to examine Bai Shan, then turned back to his two sons and said, "No wonder you can't get married. Not only are you not as pretty as others, but you don't even think about dressing up."
Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang were hit hard and looked at their father in disbelief.
Mr. Bai pulled Bai Shan and said, "Isn't it just drawing eyebrows? I can do it!"
Bai Shan also widened his eyes and looked at his cousin in disbelief.
When Mr. Bai was seen by the three children, he immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "What? You think men don't draw their eyebrows? You don't understand..."
No one taught them.
Bai Shan has no father, and Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang don’t remember their fathers.
But now Mr. Bai remembered it. He pulled his sleeves and called a maid in loudly, asking her to go back to the main room to get his things.
There wasn't much, just a small knife, a pair of scissors and an eyebrow pencil.
Mr. Bai said, "I've been in the countryside for a long time, so I don't use this thing very often. You guys, just listen to it and make do with it. When you get married, you'll definitely need maids to serve you. They will take care of you. For now, just bear with it and know that this is the case..."
In the countryside, naturally no one draws their eyebrows, let alone men. Even women rarely do their eyebrows. Mr. Bai only remembers to pay attention to his appearance when he goes out.
In this world, good looks are still very important.
Mr. Bai, who has been tempered by society, knows this very well. He didn't have much to teach his children before, but now.
Seeing how curious they were, Mr. Bai gave them examples to tell them how important it is to have a proper appearance.
Apart from anything else, they are good-looking and will be more popular with teachers and classmates at school.
Did he really think that when he and Bai Qi were studying, the teacher and classmates liked Bai Qi so much simply because he was a good student?
Of course not!
Mr. Bai believes that one of the important reasons is that Bai Qi is more handsome than him.
Otherwise, why did everyone like Bai Qi more when they first entered school and hadn't taken the exam yet?
Isn’t it because his face is whiter and more handsome than his?
Mr. Bai was a little clumsy with his hands. When he was demonstrating to the three people, he shaved Bai Erlang's eyebrows. If it were in the past, Bai Erlang would definitely not care about such a small matter.
But he now knew that men should also pay attention to their appearance, so he couldn't help but hold back tears in his eyes, and refused to let Mr. Bai try no matter what.
Bai Dalang couldn't help but said, "Dad, why not let the girl come?"
Bai Shan had already taken two steps back and nodded repeatedly when he heard this. It would be better to let someone who knows the business do it.
Mr. Bai was still a little disappointed, but he waved his hand and let the girl who knew how to draw eyebrows take over.
Bai Erlang's eyebrows had been shaved off. The maid looked at them and felt that it was definitely beyond repair, so after obtaining Mr. Bai's consent, she shaved them all off and then drew his eyebrows.
Bai Erlang was about to cry, but he finally held back his tears after the painting. He looked in the mirror and asked hesitantly, "Doesn't that mean I have to paint my eyebrows every day from now on?"
The girl said, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, your eyebrows will grow back in a few days."
Bai Erlang finally breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly accepted this.
Bai Dalang thought about it carefully and finally remembered something, "It seems that there are also students who draw eyebrows..."
Mr. Bai disagreed, "What's the big deal? Women have to dress up, so we men should naturally pay attention to our appearance. This dynasty was founded on martial arts, so it's still pretty good. During the Jin Dynasty, how many famous and romantic figures put on rouge and powder just to get a compliment?"
The three people who are currently only studying hard: ...
Mr. Bai said, "Once you learn this, you can not only use it to improve yourselves, but also enjoy it with your wives in the bedroom."
Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang turned their heads together to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan blushed slightly and could only change the subject again, "Uncle, would you like to discuss your eldest cousin's marriage with your aunt?"
Mr. Bai thought about it and realized it was true. He became annoyed again and sighed at Bai Dalang, "You, you are such a troublemaker..."
It would be great if I could be like Bai Shan. When I reach a certain age, I can find a wife. All my family needs to do is to talk about the marriage. It’s very simple.
Although Mr. Bai felt it was troublesome, he still talked to Mrs. Bai. The next day, he took Mrs. Bai and Bai Dalang to Mianzhou City again.
Bai Erlang stayed behind to pack his luggage for departure. When the time came, they would pick up Bai Dalang in Mianzhou City and leave, so he wouldn't have to run back and forth.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai were originally hesitant to entrust such a big matter to Bai Erlang, but Bai Erlang felt that he had grown up. After all, Bai Shan, who was several months younger than him, was engaged. Shouldn't he be able to take care of such a small matter as packing luggage?
So he agreed to the task without hesitation, happily sent his parents and elder brother away, and then turned around and went into their storeroom. He wanted to take everything he saw.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she simply handed over the task of preparing the luggage for the departure to Bai Shan, as a training for him.
There wasn't much for Manbao to worry about at home. She only needed to pack the things she brought with her. However, she had very few things. She brought a lot back with her, but the only things she needed to take to the capital were a few booklets and medical books she carried with her, and she only had a few sets of clothes.
The rest of the things were prepared by each branch of the Zhou family in a very orderly manner.
