Chapter Eighty-Eight: Knowing the Inside Story

Song Che thought for a moment and said, "Continue to follow up, don't alarm them for the time being, you have to keep an eye on ...... in the next few days."

After Aqing retreated, Song Che glanced at Bai Qiyu with a calm face, "Aren't you curious?"

Bai Qiyu smiled, "Curious, will you tell me?"

"Of course," Song Che said with a smile, "this matter is also related to you, and there is nothing to hide from you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Something to do with me?" This time Bai Qiyu was really curious.

Song Che was silent, and then said, "At the beginning, Princess Shunping only saw one side, so she belonged to your fourth sister, and soon asked to marry and even consummate the marriage, don't you think it's strange?"

As the most powerful and famous among the nobles, even if the prince of the Shunping Mansion has a bad reputation, the marriage is not difficult, but in such a short period of time, he chose to discuss the marriage and complete the marriage, in the end, it was a bit hasty.

Bai Qiyu didn't know much about these things, and he didn't think deeply, but when he heard him say it at this time, he felt that it was really not simple, a prince who asked to marry the daughter of a merchant family in such a low profile, even though this merchant was a famous and wealthy merchant in this dynasty, but compared to the powerful imperial relatives, it was more than a star and a half worse.

There must be a reason why Shunping Wangfu did this.

Bai Qiyu looked at him and frowned, "It's a little strange, is there any reason why there is no one else?"

Song Che didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "Aside from the Shunping Palace, what do you think of the Ding Mansion?"

Dingfu?

At the beginning, it was the second sister Bai Shuangyu who pulled the strings and then promoted the family affair with the Shunping Palace.

So what role did the second sister play in the Ding Mansion, and what role did the Ding Mansion play in this family affair?

Bai Qiyu was a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the Ding Mansion and the Shunping Mansion still have any relationship in private?"

"Clever!" Song Che's lips curled slightly, "Or it can be said that what does the relationship between the Ding Mansion and the Shunping Mansion have to do with the Bai Mansion." ”

How does it sound like a tongue twister?

Bai Qiyu frowned and thought, Song Che drank tea and didn't say much. There is only a gentle piano sound wafting in the room, but this song is like a relation because of the tune after all, which adds a bit of gentleness and sentimentality.

When I was still in Linfeng City, I heard that the prince of Shunping Wangfu had a very bad reputation, but Bai Shuangyu tried his best to promote this family business, Bai Shuangyu's attitude was somewhat influenced by the people of the Ding family, and the Liu family did everything possible to promote the family affairs of his foreign family, the Chen family and the Bai Mansion......

It's as if they are trying their best to win over Baifu.

No, not all, the eldest sister Bai Yuanchun's attitude is different, although she didn't say it explicitly, it seems that she shouldn't be optimistic about these relationships.

Bai Qiyu suddenly didn't hear the sound of the piano, a sudden thought flashed in his mind, and he looked up at Song Che and said, "So, how much benefit can Bai Mansion bring to Shunping Wangfu and Ding Mansion?"

Song Che showed appreciation, and said, "The emperor just promulgated the will to lift the sea ban a few days ago, but before this, the lifting of the sea ban has been rumored for a long time, and several major coastal areas, only Cangzhou and Tongzhou are the most prosperous, and although your Bai family's business is very large, but the foundation is still in Tongzhou and Cangzhou, which are nearly thousands of miles away, it can be said that the economic lifeline of the coast is all in the hands of the Bai family, so that the Bai family is in a very important position...... And the Shunping Palace, although the Ding Mansion did not say it explicitly, in fact, they both supported the lifting of the sea ban. ”

Involved in the sea ban?

It's not that simple.

Bai Qiyu remembered some of the words that the third sister Bai March said to her when she was in Beijing, with the power of the Chen family, she was naturally able to clearly understand the meaning behind these things, so she chose not to mix when the situation was still not so clear, so is it really just because her father Bai Yuntang is so active just because Haimao is very profitable?

What about the Shunping Mansion and the Ding Mansion? In addition to the benefits of commerce and trade, what other benefits can the sea ban bring?

"Then, why did the emperor agree to lift the sea ban?"

Song Che said, "It's very simple, it's naturally for profit." ”

Benefit?

Bai Qiyu nodded, "Yes, it is naturally for the sake of interests, what does the emperor's interest have to do with the Shunping Mansion and the Ding Mansion?"

Song Che smiled, "Naturally, it is the relationship between the king and the minister." ”

Bai Qiyu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and after a while, he suddenly looked at him with wide eyes, his face was full of surprise, and he hesitated, "You mean ......?"

Song Che shook his head, refilled her with a cup of tea, and said, "I didn't say anything, the Bai family is a wealthy family in my dynasty, and it is inevitable that it will be targeted by people with a heart," said this, and looked up again, "That's why there will be the marriage proposal of the Shunping Palace, the efforts of the Ding Mansion to woo you, and Song Zhao's actions in the past two days." ”

When Bai Qiyu heard the words and thought of Bai Ri, Song Zhao and Bai Yuntang and his wife had a secret conversation for a long time, and it was estimated that some things had already been decided, and they couldn't help but support their foreheads, which involved a complex force.

"The General's Mansion, the Shangshu Mansion, the Shunping Palace, and maybe the East Palace, the Bai family is really walking a tightrope in Lingyuan!"

Maybe it was intentional, and there was a last resort, but in any case, the Bai family's current situation is very delicate, and now Bai Yuntang is so actively involved in sea trade, which is really not a good thing.

Song Che glanced at her, but didn't say anything more, he thought of what he had been doing all along--investigating the Bai family, whether it was the economic lifeline of the coast or the complicated situation in the capital, after all, the Bai Mansion would not have too good results, and he would attack her family, and she would know sooner or later......

In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "You can't persuade your father? The Bai family will have an accident sooner or later if it goes on like this." ”

Bai Qiyu said with a little melancholy when he heard this, "If I were the son of the Bai family, I would be able to say two sentences." ”

Song Che couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you are quite a pity that you are not a man?"

"If I'm a man, why do I have to sneak around like a thief when I go out?" Bai Qiyu glared at him, and said, "Besides, the Bai family is a family of merchants, and all they do is business, no matter how big the matter is, how big can it be, is it possible to confiscate the family property? And he didn't commit any major crimes to exterminate the nine clans, what are you afraid of." ”

This girl really dares to say anything!

The corners of Song Che's mouth twitched slightly, and he said casually, "I think you are very bold, and you won't be afraid of being confiscated." ”

Bai Qiyu didn't care much, "It's the Bai family's property, and it's not mine, what are you afraid of." Then he came back to his senses and said, "What are you talking about, what are you confiscating your property?"

Song Che couldn't help laughing when he saw her staring, took the pastry and handed it over, and changed the topic, "You taste this, it's made with the nectar of eight kinds of flowers." ”

Bai Qiyu glanced at it, he hadn't tasted this yet, so he leaned his head slightly and took a bite of his hand, and nodded and praised, "It's delicious, it has the taste of osmanthus, lotus, magnolia, and lilie." ”

I was about to lower my head to take a bite again, but I found that one hand was stretched out and didn't move, so I came back to my senses and couldn't help but panic and said, "You haven't eaten it yet, you can taste it too." "I didn't dare to look up at him.

Song Che was stunned from the moment she took a bite of her hand, and when she heard her speak, she reflexively withdrew the pastry and took a bite herself......

It turned out that the smooth piano tone was out of tune for two keys, and it stopped for a moment before returning to normal.
