“Baozhu, I have always regarded you as my daughter. I wish you could be my biological daughter, but why don’t I have this blessing? But if you are not a daughter, it is also great to be a daughter-in-law.”
“Baozhu, in fact, Auntie has always hoped to pair you with Pingchun. In my heart, you are thousands of times better than that girl from the Jiang family.”
“Baozhu, only a smart girl like you is worthy of your cousin.”
…
When Xu Baozhu left Lin’s house, her face was red and her eyes were misty. It was obvious at a glance that she had been fed a lot of ecstasy soup.
Thinking of what her aunt had just said while holding her hand, Xu Baozhu felt very happy. Even if she gave fifty taels of silver, she didn’t feel like she was at a disadvantage.
She knew what a powerful person her cousin would be in the future. He would pass the top three in the exam, and the poems that he wrote would be highly praised by the literati.
Now is the most difficult time for her cousin and aunt. Her providing help during this critical period would definitely make them remember her kindness and treat her more kindly in the future.
For Xu Baozhu, it was only fifty taels of silver, which couldn’t be a better deal.
“Cousin, Cousin.”
When Xu Baozhu walked to the door, Lin Pingchun was walking from a distance.
His expression was a little cold because now that the college examination was over, many scholars were free to take over work in the library. Because there were more people copying books, the competition was fierce, and the wages paid by the bookstore stewards had dropped again and again. Now he could only get 180 yuan for copying a Three Character Classic.
“Cousin Xu.”
Lin Pingchun recognized Xu Baozhu as a girl from his mother’s family, but other than that, he didn’t have much of an impression of this girl.
“Cousin, Cousin, just call me Baozhu.”
Seeing the ancient man she admired standing in front of her alive, Xu Baozhu couldn’t help but feel a little shy and nervous.
“Cousin, I still have something to do at home, so I’ll leave first.”
She was afraid that her cousin would think that she was an impetuous woman, so although she wanted to stay, talk to her cousin, and cultivate some relationship, her reason still urged her to leave quickly.
But little did she know that when she took the initiative to ask Lin Pingchun to call her by her maiden name, her image in Lin Pingchun’s heart was already a bit wild.
This was the change brought about by the butterfly effect. According to the original development, the Jiang family and the Lin family were not completely broken up at this moment. Lin Pingchun did not need to worry about his livelihood.
When he met Xu Baozhu, he would pay more attention to Xu Baozhu. He would be attracted by Xu Baozhu’s liveliness and beauty, which is different from women nowadays.
Unlike now, Lin Pingchun was only thinking about making money. Xu Baozhu had practiced her most delicate and cute angle countless times, but it did not fall into Lin Pingchun’s eyes at all.
Xu Baozhu, who thought she had left a good impression on Lin Pingchun, trotted away. It was not until she was sure that Lin Pingchun could no longer see her that she slowly stopped.
Her heart was beating wildly. Thinking about the scene just now, she stamped her feet and wanted to scream loudly.
