After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 169 Helping each other
"Hiding is not an option."

Bai Fu calmly picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said slowly.

Mr. Fei glanced at her, his expression was as calm as ever, but what he said was a bit heartbreaking:
"Then you still hide here every day to read the ledger?"

Bai Fu immediately wilted, and sighed rather sadly.

"Who knew that the Huang family was so patient, letting the matchmaker come to the door every day, and saying that yesterday's refusal doesn't mean that she will refuse today, and it doesn't mean that she won't change her mind tomorrow. This, isn't this the logic of robbers?!"

This thing is really tricky.

The Huang family has a big business in Bailu Town, and they are her loyal and big customers, so it is not easy to offend too much.

So Bai Fu asked Aunt Le to explain why he was not at home every day, and asked Luo Jin to express her unwillingness to be a son-in-law for her.

Unexpectedly, the Huang family is determined this time.

He was not annoyed or angry when he was rejected, saying that the Huang family could afford to wait, and only sent a matchmaker to sign in every day, talking nicely, spreading sugar at the entrance of the village, laughing and laughing every day, and the etiquette was so embarrassing blame.

Now the whole Xiaoxin Village, no, I'm afraid the whole Bailu Town knows that the Huang family wants to recruit him.

Those idlers at the door of the food shop, smelling the smell of wine, now talk about the fact that he was favored by the Huang family.

How did she know?
Naturally, Master Guo came to gossip with her again.

What's even more inexplicable is that the uncle of Huang Qiuyang Huang Linger, the young man with abnormal brain circuit that he met in Tiangong, had someone send a letter asking him to compete in martial arts.

Could it be that she was stubborn and resisted to the death, and wanted to teach her ignorant niece a lesson?

Bai Fu's head was almost numb.

Turning her eyes, she stared at Mr. Fei, "Why don't I just say, I'm the only one in my family, and I can't even be beaten to death to become a door-to-door son-in-law and cut off the incense?"

Mr. Fei pondered for a moment.

"Then if a little girl wants to marry you next time, what are you going to say?"

Bai Fu choked.

Yes, Miao Miao alone cannot marry, but she must.

Why was it so difficult to be an excellent leftover man and woman in ancient times?
It's better to be in the modern age, no one cares about the remaining essence, at most say a few words behind your back.

Bai Fu felt a little bald.

"Why don't you just tell them that I'm a girl?" Bai Fu said irritably, rubbing her face.

"No, Xiaobai"

Xiao Si ran over with her skirt in her hands, put her face on the table with her hands, "Zi Zhizhou knows that you are an old girl, and will assign you a husband."

old lady?
Bai Fu's blue veins throbbed twice.

But wait-
"What do you mean by assigning a husband?"

"Daye Kingdom stipulates that men must be at the latest eighteen and women must be married at the latest seventeen. Otherwise, the government can forcibly distribute them. If they refuse to obey, they and their families will be punished."

Xiaosi shook her head, and said the gossip she heard in the backyard of Yuzhizhou's house.

My god, Bai Fu was startled.

"real or fake?"

She blurted out and asked, but her eyes were on Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei nodded seriously.

"Women do not marry when they are seventeen, men do not marry when they are eighteen, and the family sits with them." He said slowly.

Bai brushed to take a breath of cool air.

Naturally, this sentence is not a good word, but sitting in prison, if the family members are going to be in prison, wouldn't the punishment be more serious?
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Bai Fu asked with an incredulous expression.

If I had known about this, when Shen Sanjin was asked to apply for household registration, he might have falsely reported his age and then got a widow or something, so that there would be no such troubles!
Why didn't anyone tell Xiaobai?
After thinking about it for a while, I made a random guess:
"Maybe it's because you've always been a man?"

Marriage has always been a topic of discussion among women, and who would mention it among men? Xiao Si also overheard it by chance in Xu Zhizhou's backyard.

".It's so reasonable that I'm speechless."

Opening his mouth and blinking for a while, Bai Fu said in a very speechless manner, rolled his eyes a few times, and asked again:

"Then as a man, if I don't marry at eighteen, will I be assigned a daughter-in-law?"

The two people on the opposite side gave her an affirmative answer again.

Xiaosi also added:
"If you don't obey, I heard that the property will be confiscated."

"Confiscation of property?!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to be fined, Bai Fu was really anxious:

"Who made this broken rule? Are there any human rights left?"

Robbing men is understandable, but stealing money will never be forgiven!

Xiaosi was taken aback.

"I do not know then."

"Ten years ago, there were heavy casualties in the war on the border. In order to promote the recovery of the population, the first emperor personally established this method," Mr. Fei explained.

After speaking, he looked at Bai Fu strangely, he didn't think that Bai Fu didn't know this law at all.

Emperor himself
Ok.

This level is high enough.

Realist Bai Fu was directly discouraged, and asked unwillingly for a while:

"Is there no exception?"

This time Mr. Fei nodded, "You can prolong your filial piety, and you can avoid sickness."

Bai Fu: "."

If you have no filial piety to keep, you can't pretend to be ill, right?
I was running around outside all day, and I was afraid that no one would believe me if I said it.

So there is no way out?

She will be seventeen in one month!
Thinking that the hard-earned money might be confiscated, Bai Fu was so irritable that he couldn't think of anything else to ask, so he left the house weakly, climbed over the wall and returned to his yard.

Seeing Bai Fu's unloved appearance, Mr. Fei didn't know how to comfort him.

It's not something consolation can fix either.

No number of powerful families in Daye Kingdom escaped this catastrophe, including him.

In retrospect, he actually had a chance to escape this disaster.

If he knew his real life experience earlier.

It's a pity that there are so many ifs in the world.

Xiaosi looked at her father's expression carefully, secretly happy, her father really likes Xiaobai, otherwise how could she show such an expression that she wants to say something but is not easy to say?

She just learned a new word recently, called hesitating to speak.

At that time, she asked Xiaobai what this meant, and Xiaobai said that it was similar to wanting to talk, but wanting to talk is generally used to describe women, who want to talk but stop, regardless of gender.

But they are always difficult to speak, and they have difficulties in their hearts but it is inconvenient to speak out.

Xiao Sihu sighed leisurely.

Sure enough, his father came back to his senses in the next second, Mr. Fei thought that his daughter was worried about Xiaobai, so he patted her little head and said nothing.

"Xiaobai is so pitiful, Daddy, do you want to help her?" Xiaosi asked innocently, blinking her big eyes.

Mr. Fei paused, and looked at his daughter with a puzzled face.

"What's the meaning of Xiaosi?" He asked.

"Daddy always wants to get married." Xiaosi's eyes sank, her voice was muffled, "If Daddy has to marry, I'd rather Daddy marry Xiaobai."

"Xiao Si, don't worry, Daddy won't get married, your grandmother—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Si, who heard his daughter say:

"Fei Niang wants grandma to marry her to you, and she also said that she will definitely give birth to a grandson for Fei's family to atone for mother's sin."

And she is that sin.

After Xiaosi said this, she lowered her little head, feeling aggrieved all over her body.

This was the first time his daughter said such words, Mr. Fei was slightly taken aback.

After returning that day, Xiaosi didn't mention what happened in his grandmother's house that day. He tried to explain it, but Xiaosi deliberately avoided the topic.

Since his daughter didn't want to mention it, he didn't force it, he just waited for the day when his daughter wanted to talk about it.

I didn't expect my daughter to speak suddenly today.

It was still after the dialogue that asked him to marry Xiaobai.

Mr. Fei thought for a while and said:

"Xiao Si is not a sin."

Xiaosi was immersed in her own little world, and couldn't listen to what her father said, so she suddenly burst into tears and said angrily:

"Daddy, Auntie Fei is a big liar! She lied to me saying that you can't let other women get close to you, that other women will treat me harshly if they become stepmothers, and that Daddy won't treat me well if he has other children."

Mr. Fei paused, his eyes turned cold.

Before, his daughter didn't like the women around him to approach him. He only thought that his daughter lost her mother and made her mentally precocious, but he didn't want to be indoctrinated by others.

Mr. Fei took out a handkerchief to help Xiao Si wipe away her tears.

"You don't have to pay attention to what they say. In Daddy's eyes, Xiaosi is the best, and belongs to Daddy."

"I know, Xiaobai said, the son is a little vest, and the daughter is daddy's sweetheart, a little padded jacket with modesty and warmth," Xiaosi interjected, choking on his sobs.

Mr. Fei: "."

It seems that my consolation is no longer needed here.

"Daddy"

Xiao Si said again:
"I've thought about it these days. If I have to have a stepmother, I'd rather that person be Shi Niang. She's a hundred times better than Aunt Fei!"

"Ahem--"

There was a light coughing sound from the courtyard wall that Bai Fu turned over just now.

The father and daughter were startled and looked at the past at the same time.

Bai Fu remained on the top of the wall in a posture of being unable to go up or down, showing embarrassment on his face, "Um... I dropped something here, I came here to pick it up and accidentally heard what you said."

Today is really exciting.

First, she learned that she would be punished for not marrying, and after a while, she was arranged to be a stepmother.

Mr. Fei looked away in embarrassment.

Xiao Si hopped on her short legs, ran from the table to the foot of the wall, raised her head and asked:
"Xiaobai, will you be my stepmother?"

Bai Fu staggered and almost fell off the wall.

"No, it's not good."

"What's wrong?" Xiaosi pouted and retorted, "You want to marry, and my father wants to marry, isn't it just right?!"

Mr. Fei: "."

Bai Fu: "."

This little friend, the words are the words, but not the principles.

"But I don't want to marry yet."

After a while, Bai Fu heard himself say this dryly.

Xiaosi's eyes lit up again.

"That's just right, my father doesn't want to marry anyone, one doesn't want to marry and the other doesn't want to marry, you even have the same idea."

The yard was silent.

No one spoke for a while.

Bai Fu stroked his chin, hey, this seems to be a little bit unreasonable.

She actually thought about it quickly just now.

If the world insists on forced marriage, it's not that she can't consider getting married, it's just that blind marriage is absolutely impossible.

But she only has one month left to turn seventeen, so where can she find someone she knows and agrees with in such a short time?
She doesn't know many unmarried men of the right age, Luo Jin, Qin Shisan, Guo Liulang, Huang Qiuyang
Qin Shisan and Huang Qiuyang seemed to have said that he had a marriage contract and ruled it out.

Although Luo Jin's family is backward and disliked by his father-in-law's family, the girl in that family has a deep affection for him and secretly gave him tokens and promises, only to wait for Luo Jin to come to marry him after high school in the future, and exclude him.

Guo Liulang. He hasn't been engaged yet, and he seems to be quite repulsed by his father's engagement.

In a short period of time, she already thought of writing a letter to Guo Liulang to ask if she should make peace with her, even if there is no love between men and women for the time being, it is a good thing for mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

I just don't know if Guo Liulang is willing to accompany her reluctantly.

I don't want to, this time when I come back to get things, there is another option——
Married to Mr. Fei.

But this is not good.

As soon as she came, she would be someone's stepmother, although that person was Xiaosi who got along well with her, but--
Being a sister is not the same as being a stepmother.

And according to what they said just now, there is not only a ruthless mother-in-law in the family, but also a bad aunt, who is like a tiger's den and a wolf's den.

How can I live in peace and comfort after that?
Guo Liulang is better, Mrs. He likes her, Mr. Guo, well, so far, he likes her a lot, and he can't stop talking about her when he sees her.

Thinking of this, Bai Fu showed embarrassment.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Tanniang and Mr. Fei.

She is actually thinking seriously
Such a thought flashed through Mr. Fei's mind, and the jade hand holding the tea cup tightened unconsciously.

During the stalemate, Xiaosi rolled her eyes, and finally said what she had been pondering for two days:

"Xiaobai, daddy has saved your life. Didn't you say that you can't repay him, so it's only right to promise him with your body."

Bai Fu opened his mouth in surprise.

Oh, and this time her eyes slowly shifted to Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei was also looking at her, his expression was as handsome and calm as ever, his eyes were deep and no emotional ups and downs could be seen, after a while, Bai Fu heard him say:
"Xiao Si is wrong about something."

Only one thing is wrong?
Isn't there only one thing that is true?

Bai Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Mr. Fei and waited for his next words.

After Mr. Fei finished speaking, his eyes moved to the chess pieces on the stone table, his handsome eyebrows were restrained, and his bamboo-like fingers tapped lightly on the chessboard, as if he was seriously considering what he was going to say next, and he seemed to be weighing wearing something.

Bai Fu didn't urge him, and waited quietly, but he unconsciously looked at Mr. Fei with a little more scrutiny.

Scenes of scenes of the two getting along flashed in my mind.

Speaking of which, she didn't get along with Mr. Fei for a long time——
They met more than two years ago, met again two years later, and had only been together for just over two months. Bai Fu had always regarded him as a benefactor in his heart, so he had a little more intimacy and care for him and Xiao Si without thinking.

But for Mr. Fei.
Apart from being amazed when we first met and surprised when we saw each other again, Bai Fu didn't seem to have had time to think about it, so naturally he didn't have any thoughts or emotions.

If she had to say she had emotions, it would be about Xiao Si's gender, she felt that this father was a bit scumbag.

Although Ah Li said that he had his own difficulties, and his young master had been making up for it all these years, Bai Fu really felt that whether he had any difficulties or not would not affect the fact that he was a scumbag.

As for how the other party sees him, Bai Fu is suddenly a little uncertain.

The day before yesterday, I heard Xiao Si talking about her father playing with the hairpin she gave me from time to time in the past two years, and he cherished it very much. Bai Fu was stunned to hear that, because she was sure she hadn't given anyone the hairpin.

After careful questioning, I realized that the hairpin that Xiaosi mentioned was the pen she gave as a thank you gift.

It was a silver pen as thick as chopsticks, and the refill needed to be rotated to come out. If it was not opened, it would indeed look like a hairpin.

At that time, she didn't explain the usage to Ah Li, thinking that it might be more interesting for him to find out the trick by himself. She didn't expect to be misunderstood as a hairpin.

She couldn't help but laugh when she understood what was going on.

Today, she took refuge in Mr. Fei's courtyard and explained it specially. After listening to the explanation, Mr. Fei's ears were red, and she only thought Mr. Fei was embarrassed after he got embarrassed.

This is the case now.
She admitted that she started to diverge her thinking.

The hairpin was a token of love for the ancients, could it be that Mr. Fei was so kind to her because of this hairpin?
"Daddy, Xiaobai."

After waiting for a while, seeing that both Dad and Xiaobai were silent and thoughtful, Xiaosi called out weakly.

Bai Fu came back to his senses, but didn't move.

Over there, Mr. Fei had already got up, and after a little thought, he looked at Bai Fu again.

"Maybe what I'm going to say next is a bit abrupt," he said.

Bai Fu smiled.

"It's okay, just tell me and let me listen."

Young Master Fei smiled back.

Bai Fu, who came back with divergent thoughts, suddenly couldn't look directly at such a prosperous beauty.

oops.

In terms of good looks, Young Master Fei is even better.

In terms of learning, Mr. Fei is still knowledgeable, at least she doesn't need to worry about her children studying in the future.

In terms of fate, Mr. Fei did save her life, and he was also the first person she saw when she came to this world.

Argument.
Stop it!

What are you thinking about!

It's not good to live too long. Knowing too much, the brain likes to automatically fill in the drama.

Bai Fu despised himself in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and looked at Mr. Fei frankly.

Mr. Fei spoke slowly:
"I don't want to marry, you don't want to marry, and both have to marry, have to marry, if Xiaobai has no other choice in the end, we can help each other."

After he finished speaking, he paused, "It has nothing to do with repaying gratitude."

Dad listened to her words?

Xiao Si widened her eyes in surprise.

That day, she overheard what Auntie Fei was saying to the maid, and when she came back, she thought about it and thought that Auntie Fei couldn't be taken advantage of, so she came up with a silly idea.

The day before yesterday, she revealed to Xiaobai that her father liked the hairpin, and today she gave her father a push. Originally, she thought it would take some extra effort, but her father agreed!
Bai Fu blinked.

When Mr. Fei said this, he spoke at a moderate pace, with a thoughtful tone, obviously an attitude of talking about business rather than love.

Helping each other
So, she was the one who pretended to be affectionate just now?
Bai Fu suppressed the urge to dig the wall with his toes, jumped off the wall, and walked towards Mr. Fei.

"How about mutual help?" she asked.

Mr. Fei glanced at Xiaosi.

"Xiao Si go back to the house first, Dad has something to tell Xiao Bai."

Xiao Si didn't want to leave, met her father's eyes, shut her mouth and obediently went back to the house.

"So what Mr. Fei means is that we got married on a fake?"

When Xiao Si left, Bai Fu stroked his thoughts and asked.

Mr. Fei nodded with a sincere attitude:

"If you want, you can do this. After getting married, you will still be you, and you can do what you want. If you want to return to freedom in the future, you can also."

Bai Fu: "."

It was exactly the same as what she wanted to say to Guo Liulang, but the speaker was changed.

The conditions were too friendly, some couldn't believe it, Bai Fu sighed.

"It's good for me, of course, but what good is it for you? What can it do for you?" she asked.

If it is a unilateral benefit, it is better to find Guo Liulang, at least it is mutual benefit, and there is no need to owe anyone.

"The advantage is that my mother can't arrange my marriage arbitrarily, and Xiaosi won't be disciplined by people she doesn't like." Young Master Fei looked back at Bai Fu and said frankly.

After I said those words to my mother that day, my mother was so angry that she couldn't get up in bed.

Although he didn't intend to compromise, today the dark guard came to report that his mother hadn't given up on her idea and had been discussing countermeasures with her mother-in-law. He also said that he would see if his son really dared to deny her.

His mother had always been strong and stubborn. If he got angry and forced him to marry a wife and put it on the genealogy, he couldn't do anything to his mother.

Even if he really doesn't call her mother anymore, he will still have a wife in name, and I'm afraid it will be another bad relationship by then.

Seeing Bai Fu's puzzled expression, he explained:

"My mother wants to forcefully arrange the marriage, but the Daye State has regulations. If the real wife does not agree, it will not count."

Is that so?

This explanation is quite reasonable.

At this moment, Bai Fu didn't have too many other emotions, and after thinking about it seriously, he asked:

"Your mother is so strong, can she agree to your arrangement? Besides, I have a bad temper, and I'm not very good at serving the elders. I'm afraid some practices will embarrass you."

Mr. Fei smiled:
"You don't need to worry about my mother, and I won't embarrass you. You can just be yourself. If I don't go back to Fei's house, you don't need to socialize with anyone on weekdays."

Oh, sounds like a good idea.

Bai Fu was silent for a while.

To be honest, at first she had some doubts that Mr. Fei simply wanted to help her, but after asking and answering it like this, it seemed that this was not the case, on the contrary, it seemed that he really needed her own help.

If so-
"Then how do you get along with each other on weekdays?" Bai Fu asked suddenly.

"How do you want to get along?" Mr. Fei asked without answering.

Bai Fu was stopped by the question.

How did she know this, the fake marriage was not her idea, how could she think so comprehensively in such a short time.

However, according to the experience of novels, the fake marriage of the hero and the heroine often ends up being a fake show.

This degree is not easy to control.

In addition, Mr. Fei is the best-looking man she has ever seen, and she is not a piece of wood that will not be moved by a handsome guy. If she gets along for a long time, it is not impossible to fall in love with each other for a long time.
She dared not say that she would be an accident.

In front of her appearance, she will also make mistakes that women all over the world will make.

She still has this self-knowledge.

"cough cough"

Bai Fu coughed twice.

"To make it easier for me to make a decision, can I ask a few more questions?"

Mr. Fei: "Yes"

Bai Fu asked, "Why don't you want to marry again?"

Mr. Fei was honest, and quickly replied: "Because I don't want to."

"Why not?" Bai Fu asked again.

"A cold-hearted person is not suitable for love." Mr. Fei replied in a flat tone.

Bai Fu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect such a reason——
According to her observation, Mr. Fei is not like a cold-hearted person.

"Someone said that about you?" After pondering for a moment, she asked again.

I don't know if it was to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Fei handed him a cup of tea, Bai Fu took it, but didn't drink it, he just looked at Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei put down the teapot.

"To be honest, I am indeed a bit cold-hearted. Although I am a father, I don't know much about love. If I force my marriage, I'm afraid it will only chill people's hearts and make a bitter couple."

After a pause, he continued:

"If Xiaobai isn't in the mood for love, that's fine."

Is love without mood suitable?

Bai Fu couldn't help laughing.

"You know yourself quite well. What you mean is that you are cold-hearted and do not understand love. It is your nature and cannot be changed. If I have no love for you, I have no expectations. If I have no expectations, I will not be disappointed. If I am not disappointed, I will not be disappointed?"

Mr. Fei lowered his eyes, "That's exactly what I mean."

"Then why do you feel that you are cold-hearted?" Bai Fu asked curiously.

Mr. Fei pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.

It seems that there is a story, the kind that is inconvenient to ask.

Bai Fu didn't force himself, he pondered for a while, got up from his side and said:

"Understood, the incident happened suddenly, and my mind is a little messed up. Let me think it through before I talk."

Mr. Fei nodded, and Bai Fu picked up the ledger that was left on the table just now, turned around and climbed over the wall to leave.

"Daddy"

Seeing Bai Fu leave, Xiao Si, who had been hiding in her room and peeping, hurried out, "Does Xiao Bai agree?"

"She said she would consider it."

Mr. Fei looked at the direction Bai Fu was leaving with a calm expression.

"Father, you actually like Xiaobai, right?" Xiao Si persisted, "Otherwise, why do you care so much about Xiaobai and always ask about her, and you didn't reprimand me for talking nonsense just now?"

Mr. Fei remained silent, and looked over the wall where no one was there, and looked into the void.

He admitted that he had been curious about Bai Fu, had admired him, and had pleasure in it, but is this his liking?
He didn't know if it counted or not.

He only knew that if she needed it, he didn't seem to object to helping her in this way.
