Bai Qiyu smiled and patted Qiu Ling's arm, "Qiu Ling has also grown up, so much taller than me." ”

"The young lady will make fun of the slave. ”

Bai Qiyu looked at Xu Zhixing's mother and son and said with a smile, "I've been tired from driving for the past few days, let's go into the house and sit down, my aunt is okay?"

Mother Xu's clothes are neat, her hair is neat, and she has an ordinary silver hairpin, but she looks much more energetic than before, and she salutes with a smile, "Miss Lao is worried, and our mother and son can have today's health and smoothness thanks to Miss." "The words are sincere, not humble or unyielding, if it is not for the ordinary clothes, it is like the wife of a large family.

Everyone laughed and entered the house together, and sat down, and a maid served tea, and Bai Qiyu asked about the original arrangements for Linfeng City.

Xu Zhixing stepped forward and said, "Miss, don't worry, we did everything according to the instructions in your letter, we first found Qiuling's brother to show him your letter, asked him to redeem Qiuling out of the house, and then cleared all the goods in the shop, and asked him to help transfer the shop, everything was cleaned up before entering Beijing." ”

Bai Qiyu nodded, and then discussed taking time to come over every day to teach them the method of making incense and a few female disciples recruited by Ruan Qing, and then left with Qiu Xing.

"I'll be relaxed when they come, and the goods of the Raiders will depend on them in the future. ”

"Aunt Ruan Qing said that Miss's method looks simple, but it is difficult to learn, can they do it?"

Bai Qiyu said with a smile, "Qiu Ling has learned a lot from me before, this kind of thing is also talented, she is very good, don't worry, there will be no problem with me teaching it personally." ”

When she was about to reach the alleyway outside the courtyard wall, Qiu Xing suddenly said, "When I returned home from here before, I saw a mother-in-law who was led into the Grace Garden, it seemed to be from your second sister's side, I didn't pay much attention to it, I just thought about it, I felt very strange, how could I send someone over at this time?

Bai Qiyu stopped, "Ding family?" She remembered that the Ding Mansion was very closely involved with the Shunping Palace, and after being silent for so long, there was a sudden movement at this moment, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's okay.

"This time...... It's okay for you to sneak me to Graceland, right?"

Qiu Xing smiled, "Of course it's no problem, just make a sound casually." ”

The Baifu at night was quiet, and after a while, Qiu Xing took her to the Grace Garden, only the living room was still lit, hiding by the back window, and the house was also quiet, and there was no sound of speaking.

After two breaths, I heard Wang's mother's voice, "Madam, it's already time......

"When the master receives the letter, I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow afternoon," after a pause, he said with some hatred, "What is this Ding family going to do? Do you really treat our family as your own treasury?

"I knew that now, I shouldn't have married Shuang'er in the first place, which is the best of the two surnames, it is a bottomless pit that does not know how to be satisfied!"

Bai Qiyu and Qiu Xing listened for a long time, and then heard her complaining there alone, Mother Wang was silent, and when the lights went out, the two left and returned to Evian Pavilion.

Qiu Xing guessed, "Look at what the Ding Mansion has done to provoke Mrs. Bai, right?"

Bai Qiyu didn't speak, but he thought about Madame Bai's words in his heart, and he actually revealed a lot of information in his words, what...... As a storehouse...... Silver...... Bottomless pit...... If you contact the Ding Mansion to participate in the sea trade in private, it is not difficult to guess what the Ding Mansion made to the White Mansion, and it is very likely that it is a large amount of silver...... This was an unexpected message.

"You guessed right, Ding Fu must have asked for something, and Mrs. had to agree because of the second sister, so she was not happy. ”

"Why don't I ask someone to ask?"

Bai Qiyu said, "Rest first, let's talk about it tomorrow, by the way, is there any news about the Wei family?"

"Not yet, news should come soon. ”

Previously, the people of the Wei family came to Beijing to visit Bai Yuntang, Bai Qiyu listened to Xiao Jiu's words and remembered them, and later asked Qiu Xing to send someone to check the Wei family to see what was going on.

In the afternoon of the second day, Qiu Xing heard the news and told Bai Qiyu, "...... The second master said that you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Ding Mansion, he has already arranged it, as for them borrowing money from Mrs. Bai under the pretext of borrowing money or something, these involve maritime trade, he will pay close attention, and you don't have to worry about this. ”

Bai Qiyu glanced at her silently, in the end, it was Song Che's person, and everything was reported to the top, but fortunately, he could also keep abreast of the news.

"However, Ding Mansion has good intentions, and he quietly participates in the sea trade, but he uses the silver of the White Mansion, and he doesn't blame the lady for being angry, but I don't know how much profit this Ding Mansion has in the sea trade. ”

While the two were talking, Bai Jiuxiang came to pester Bai Qiyu to draw a pattern for her, saying that she was going to make some gadgets.

Bai Qiyu accompanied her to paint all afternoon.

When Qiu Xing came back from Grace Garden, Bai Qiyu knew what was going on in Ding's Mansion.

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver? Ding Mansion really dares to open his mouth!"

Qiu Xing said, "Not only that, listening to Mrs. Bai's tone, she gave 200,000 yuan at the beginning of the year! Because he was thinking of his daughter, he also responded, but this year, he asked for such two large sums of money at once, which still had some impact on Baifu. ”

Bai Qiyu was a little surprised, "At the beginning of the year, I gave back 200,000?"

The Bai family's business was a little difficult during the period before the New Year, could it have anything to do with the sudden transfer of a large amount of silver? It shouldn't be, but it must have an impact, it seems that the Ding Mansion has also made a big investment for sea trade.

A few days later, the people who investigated the Wei family came to the news that the Wei family had a share of the Wei family in the business of the sea trade, which was probably the result of the Wei family's visit to Baiyuntang, as for the others, they were only mentioned verbally, and there was no substantive discussion.

Bai Qiyu didn't tell Xiao Jiu about this in private, after all, these didn't have any impact, but his attention to Graceland was secretly much closer, including the letters that Mrs. Bai often received, the people she saw, the people she saw, the business involved, and the people who came and went, and she knew a lot more about Baifu, so she knew more about Baifu's huge and vast commercial industry, and sighed with a sense of crisis.

The so-called rich rival country, coupled with a complex network of relationships, does not have to do with the unease of those in power.

However, there was one thing Bai Qiyu was a little strange, and asked Gu's mother in private, "I haven't thought about this before, since the three generations of the Bai family are all single transmissions, when my grandfather was an official in the court, why didn't my father enter the court?"

Gu's mother smiled, "Miss, have you forgotten, the old man is also from a Jinshi, but when the old man was about to take office, the old lady suddenly fell seriously ill, and soon went west, and the old man was worried about it for three years, the old man was not good at officialdom, and after three years, there were many changes in the court, and the old man took care of the general affairs, and within a few years, the business became bigger and bigger, so he ignored those gossips and devoted himself to business." ”

Regarding this statement, Bai Qiyu said that it was not very credible, but Gu's mother, as an old man in the house, only knew so much, and it is estimated that few people know the real reason, so it is difficult to find out.
