370: Brother
Even if these old people actually understand better than anyone else that the current new emperor takes good care of the Bai family, it is for Bai Congjian's face after all.
If Bai Congjian is gone, then this sentiment will gradually disappear.
At first, they didn't dare to mess around, because it seemed that when they heard the name Bai Congjian over the years, they would have inexplicable timidity and awe in their hearts.
But now it's different, Bai Congjian hasn't appeared in front of everyone's eyes for a long time. In the face of the Bai family's huge wealth, no one was unmoved.
Wealth and danger are sought.
Privately, some people also said that Xiao Siye was afraid that Xiao Ziyu would not be allowed to be bullied, but some people soon retorted, "What if she is the daughter of the Xiao family? She is now a member of the Bai family, and she has no heirs." ”
"Even if Your Majesty and Fourth Master Xiao can stop it for a while, can they stop it for a lifetime?" someone frowned, "Besides, Xiao Ziyu is just a daughter, she is not good at being the wife of the Bai family, and it is a shame to show her face outside." People who don't know the inside story still think that our Bai family men are incompetent, and can only rely on a woman to survive. ”
Even if the people of Dachu are open, it has not reached the point where a woman can be in power.
This man's words were extremely ugly, and the old people present all had black faces.
It's a shame that a huge Bai family needs a woman to call the shots.
The old people of the Bai family know this, and Xiao Ziyu also knows and understands.
Steward Han said to Xiao Ziyu, "Madam, you can not see me." ”
These people are just some old people of the Bai family, and in front of Xiao Ziyu, they just want to rely on the old and sell the old.
Although Steward Han could have stopped these things and not told Xiao Ziyu, he was a descendant of the Bai family, so he could have stopped it but still reported it truthfully, which was a sign of respect for Xiao Ziyu.
In fact, at first, Steward Han also thought that a woman was in charge, which was not very good. Women are weaker than men, and the world does not allow women to do things that are too out of line. But after the incident in the temple, he saw the angry Xiao Ziyu from the firelight, and immediately completely dispelled this idea in his heart.
Also, how can a woman who can be remembered by Bai Congjian for many years and be the mother of the Bai family be an ordinary and weak person?
Xiao Ziyu didn't mind at all, "Let them come to see me!"
"Can you stop it for a few days, can you stop it for a few months?" Xiao Ziyu said in a light tone, "This is the Bai family, this is my home, I have to guard it." ”
No matter who comes, she won't let people take advantage of it in the slightest.
The wealth of the Bai family was obtained by her husband Bai Congjian in exchange for gambling with his life, how could she be cheap for these shameless things.
Bai Congjian didn't tell her too much detail, but Xiao Ziyu understood that Bai Congjian must have a reason for him to go this time.
So, she would wait for him to come back.
Wait for as long as you want.
When these old men saw Xiao Ziyu as they wished, the anger and disdain in their eyes were obvious.
The woman in front of them still revealed the immaturity of the girl in her eyebrows, and there was no trace of the precipitation of time in her appearance.
Before they could speak, Xiao Ziyu went to sit on the main seat, she picked up the tea sent by the maid, and spoke in front of the old people, "Since the little master has been sick, I can't wait to peel it into several pieces." I want to take care of him, but I don't want to delay the Bai family's business too much. This is the family business he has worked so hard to save, and he can't say that he doesn't care about it. ”
"Cousin, nephew, daughter-in-law, what are you worried about?" an old man replied slowly, "There are so many Bai family members, in fact, you don't need to worry about these things, you are Xiaoliu's daughter-in-law, you should know what it means to be three from four virtues." You just need to take good care of him now, you ......"
The old man's meaning was obvious, he wanted Xiao Ziyu to let go of power.
Xiao Ziyu smiled lightly, "Yes, I should take good care of him, who made me his wife and the mother of the Bai family!"
She corrected the old man's address to her, and added, "Unfortunately, I have to worry about many things. ”
"Uncle Cousin?" Xiao Ziyu looked at the old man, did not call him by his surname, and said, "I remember that the master once handed you some business, and you also know some about the medicinal herb business in the south." But over the years, how come the originally profitable medicinal herb business has always been losing money?"
The old man's face was a little ugly.
"Even the businesses that used to be profitable for the children of the Liu family have to be put out with silver every year in your hands. Xiao Ziyu smiled, "But the strange thing is that my cousin's house is getting bigger and bigger, and it is said that there is still a lot of silver in my cousin's bank." ”
The old man was like a cat with its tail stepped on, "Nonsense!"
"Nonsense, isn't this something that anyone with a discerning eye knows?" Xiao Ziyu put down the teacup in his hand, "I wanted to go to my cousin, but I didn't expect my cousin to find it himself." ”
"Uncle Cousin is old, I'm afraid I'm confused in doing business, since these businesses can be handed over to you, of course I can take them back. I see that the children of the Liu family have been idle recently, so it is better to leave these businesses to them, and my cousin can enjoy his old age in peace. ”
"You...... You dare to ......," the old man never thought that Xiao Ziyu would be so rebellious, "What qualifications do you have to accept what Xiaoliu gave me." ”
Xiao Ziyu was still sitting, but his eyes had never changed, "Just because I am his wife and the head mother of the Bai family." ”
"Although it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, I am not bullied in vain. Xiao Ziyu glanced at the people in the room, "I am willing to tell Your Majesty about this matter and let Your Majesty make a decision, of course, I am also willing to let outsiders know......"
"For example, although Uncle Sixth Cousin earns money every year, many of them are given to the Zhang family in Baima Hutong. For example, the thirteenth cousin's uncle's silver was sent to Flower Lane, and he also connived at the fairy girl to cut people. After that, he said to the outside world that he would lose money only if he was fooled by the villain, such as ......"
She talked about the dirty things of these old people, obviously they were too old to walk, but they all had outer rooms that were not clean, and some people even secretly wanted people to swallow the Bai family.
Every time she spoke, the faces of some people at the scene darkened.
Everyone in the big family has a disgraceful side, everyone knows each other, and when the other party is excessive, it is just a proper reminder. But no one is like Xiao Ziyu, who puts these filthy things on the bright side.
Is she crazy? Aren't you afraid of offending people?
Eventually, someone couldn't take it anymore and got up from his chair. Tremblingly pointed at Xiao Ziyu, "You, presumptuous, you, a woman surnamed Xiao, are really presumptuous." I'll let Xiaoliu leave you, the family is unfortunate!"
"Surname Xiao?" a man's voice sounded outside, "I am also surnamed Xiao, I don't know what advice you have?"
Xiao Ziyu raised her head in surprise, but saw Mei Jinxue and a familiar figure appear in front of her.
Instantly, her eyes turned red.
The man walked in, smiling like winter snow melting, "I'm sorry, my brother is late." ”
