Chapter 270 Xiao Qi Petrified
That's a great idea!
Bai Dingfeng nodded. In fact, his parents didn't have many requirements for his marriage.
I heard that Lin Yuesha is Lord Zhang's goddaughter, so the two families are barely considered a good match. Besides, you couldn't find a woman with such good cooking skills even if you searched high and low.
Beauty and figure are all fleeting and illusory.
"Little sister, you must remember that beauty can fade and figure can change, but cooking skills will never change."
Culinary skills can only become better and better with time and experience.
In this life, there are only a few things to do. The pursuit of fame and fortune is inseparable from eating and drinking. If your partner has excellent cooking skills, then you will be the envy of others!
"That makes a lot of sense."
Bai Youran seemed to be deep in thought. She really wanted to ask her older brother, "Why don't you just marry a cook?"
"No cook can match Miss Lin's intelligence and ingenuity."
Bai Dingfeng immediately retorted, saying that in his mind, no one could match Lin Yuesha's culinary skills.
As the son of the prefect, Bai Dingfeng had certainly tasted fine cuisine. His cousin, Doctor Yan, was right; he had been a glutton since childhood and was quite overweight as a child.
The dishes were exquisite and beautiful, but after tasting them, something was missing.
Perhaps, a dish might be described as delicious, but not memorable.
Lin Yuesha was different. A single layered pancake with braised pork was enough to leave an unforgettable impression on Bai Dingfeng. The taste was full of the warmth and comfort of home cooking, making people feel happy when they ate it.
Bai Youran didn't understand. If it's delicious, it's delicious. Sure enough, scholars can write long essays about food.
She liked Lin Yuesha very much, and she would be happy to see her marry into the family and become the eldest sister-in-law.
"Little sister, I remember I still have a set of writing materials, right? I need to go back to the manor to find it and give it to Tingyun."
Bai Dingfeng already had a plan to cultivate a good relationship with his future brother-in-law.
Bai Youran: "..."
Achoo!
Lin Yuesha took a few steps and suddenly felt her ears getting hot, so she couldn't help but sneeze.
"Miss, have you caught a cold?"
Bai Cha was startled and quickly handed over a handkerchief, asking with concern.
"No, perhaps someone is thinking of me. Could it be that my parents miss me?"
Lin Yuesha hadn't seen her parents and relatives in Chenjia Village for several days. Although life in the prefectural city was not bad, something was always missing.
Xiao Qi's eyes darkened; he was very dissatisfied with the Bai siblings. If Bai Dingfeng kept finding excuses to come to their house, it wasn't a good sign.
Regardless of what that guy's intentions are towards the little sister, appearances can be deceiving. What if Lin Yuesha is fooled and her heart flutters? This...
No!
"Little sister, what do you think of Young Master Bai?"
Xiao Qi had originally intended to subtly inquire, but finding no pretext, he decided to be direct.
"Young Master Bai?"
Lin Yuesha glanced at her stepbrother with a puzzled look, somewhat confused. She assumed the two siblings were just chatting and laughed, "Brother, I don't have any impression of Young Master Bai."
Although they met twice, the two hardly spoke a word to each other, and she didn't pay much attention to Bai Dingfeng.
Anyway, the sons of officials are different from ordinary people; they have an extraordinary demeanor and are also quite good-looking.
"Big brother, why are you asking this? Do you have a crush on Sister Bai?"
Lin Yuesha took a moment to react before asking seriously.
Bai Youran is beautiful, has a good personality, and is flawless in every way, but the other party's identity is not something the brother and sister can even dream of.
It's fine to interact with each other as ordinary people in daily life, but when it comes to marriage, it's important to be well-matched in terms of social status and background.
Their family's social standing was truly not high. Even if Xiao Qi passed the imperial examination in the future, their foundation was weak, and no one in the clan held an official position or could help them. The young masters and ladies of powerful families would look down on them.
Lin Yuesha pleaded earnestly, saying that even if Bai Youran wasn't engaged, it wouldn't be her eldest brother's turn.
If any such thoughts arise now, it's best to nip them in the bud to avoid future suffering and unfulfilled desires.
Lin Yuesha went on and on, spouting a bunch of grand principles, leaving Xiao Qi completely stunned. This wasn't what he expected at all.
Although Lin Yuesha didn't have any feelings for Bai Dingfeng, her words made Xiao Qi uncomfortable. His little sister was good enough for anyone, so what was a mere prefect's son?
"Big brother, did you hear what I said?"
After receiving no response for a long time, Lin Yuesha had no choice but to ask helplessly.
Actually, it would be good if the eldest brother married Jiang Baozhu, but their personalities are incompatible, and they really can't live together.
"I heard you."
Xiao Qi escorted Lin Yuesha to the Jiang family's door and said, "Little sister, there are no men in the Jiang family now, so it's inconvenient for me to go in. I'll have Liu Quan come and pick you up later."
Xiao Qi had some things to take care of, so he said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Lin Yuesha watched her stepbrother walk away before using her key to open the door.
Jiang Baozhu locked all the doors, but Lin Yuesha had a key. She went in with Bai Cha and just then saw Longjing coming out wiping away tears.
"Miss!"
When Longjing saw Lin Yuesha, it was as if he had found his pillar of support, and he immediately broke down in tears.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuesha's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jiang Baozhu was thinking of doing something drastic?
"It's Madam Xu, she's already passing away."
Longjing was extremely distressed. When Xu learned that Zhao Sanniang and her daughter and Xiaoxi had conspired to scheme against Jiang Baozhu, she was so enraged that she spat out a mouthful of blood and had been unconscious since last night.
Now that he's suddenly energetic, it must be a temporary burst of vitality before death.
Longjing was on her way back to the manor to deliver a message when she ran into her young mistress, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lin Yuesha was also heartbroken. Madam Xu's health was already poor, and Lin Qian had said that if she took good care of herself, she could still live for a while. However, Madam Xu was also traumatized.
At present, the thing that Xu is most worried about is Jiang Baozhu.
Lin Yuesha, carrying white tea and Longjing tea, hurried into the room. She hesitated whether to interrupt the mother and daughter's conversation when Xu saw her.
"Lin girl, come in."
Just like when we met a few months ago, Mrs. Xu had a gentle smile on her face; she was very calm.
"aunt."
Lin Yuesha held back her tears because Jiang Baozhu was also calm, seemingly aware of what was about to happen.
“The Jiang family only has Baozhu left. Our family doesn’t actually have many relatives in the north. We are only distant relatives of the Chen family village chief.”
When Xu talked about this, she was still a little sad. She hoped that Lin Yuesha could take care of her daughter. Although this request was not very reasonable, Jiang Baozhu had no one to entrust her with at the moment.
“Auntie, Baozhu and I are like sisters, so please don’t worry about it.”
From the changes in the Jiang family, Lin Yuesha truly saw what it means for life to be unpredictable, but those who are alive must continue to live.
"I will take good care of Sister Baozhu."
Lin Yuesha said earnestly, assuring Madam Xu.
