Bai Ko usually has to take care of business, and now she has to take care of the rotten peach blossoms that come out of her sister's side, she doesn't care about the meeting of the major shareholders of the farm, she is just a small shareholder, and next year's farm management plan depends on the recuperation of the carpenter's family in the palace.

On the day when their shareholders met together, Bai Ko also had something to do, and after she met with her business partner in the morning, she went to Baishunfang to find Lu Yuanzhen's family.

As soon as Bai Ko's carriage entered the workshop, it was particularly eye-catching, followed by four guards on horseback, and the people in the neighborhood were curious to discuss where this was the big family running here, and some people ran to call Wuhou.

Wuhou came just in time, although Bai Qiao had the detailed address of Lu Yuanzhen's house, but it was always a bit rude to come to the door so rashly, so he asked Wuhou to come to the door on his behalf and say it first.

Hearing that it was a white girl who came to find Lu Yuanzhen, if she really couldn't think of who Wuhou was, she didn't have to mix, so she hurriedly rushed to Lu's house and instructed them to clean and prepare tea.

The Lu family came out nervously and excitedly to greet them, and when Bai Ko got out of the car, he also carried a hand full of gifts, all of which were the signature pastries of the time-honored cake house in Beijing, and stuffed them into the hands of the Lu family with a smile.

The other party naturally couldn't accept it, and pushed it back and forth three times before thanking him to accept it, and hurriedly welcomed Bai Ko and others into the house, and when he entered the upper room, Bai Ko saw two hot water bottles on the side of the wall on the square table in the middle hall, and in the middle of the table was a set of teapots and tea sets.

This family did not offend Bai Ko, so Bai Ko did not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, she just came to refuse this proposal on behalf of her sister Bai Rui.

The tea has been prepared, this ready-made pastry is just a refreshment, the family and Bai Ko sit in the hall, the chat starts from the common words, the four soldiers sit in the corner to drink tea and eat snacks, Lao Cui under the guidance of Wu Hou to drive the car to other places to settle, so as not to block the road.

Because Bai Ko had already obtained the information of the news dealer, she knew what the situation of the Lu family was, and her tactic was to go straight to the point, and after chatting for a while, she got to the point, and directly indicated that she was here to refuse to propose.

"Disagree? How come?! They said the marriage was a proper one! Lu Yuanzhen and his parents were surprised, and their reactions were all expected by Bai Ko, who was sure that the patriarch's family had deceived them and did not tell the fact of extermination.

"Who are they? Bai Rui has been living in Tianshuifang for the past few years, she also wondered how there would be people from Baishunfang who wanted to marry her, and cried to me that someone must have maliciously ruined her reputation, she finally recuperated her body, even if she wanted to remarry, she must be ventilated with the official media of Tianshuifang, how could the matchmaker of Baishunfang come to the door first? At this moment, it seems that someone is really instigating behind it? ”

"It's not an instigation, it's your parents, poor Bai Rui lives hard with her children, and I happen to be a widower, so I agreed to this, and they said that it will definitely be done." Lu Yuanzhen hurriedly replied.

"Our parents? What is the last name and what is the name? My Imperial Kitchen Bai's signboard fell to the ground eight years ago, and more than ten people from three generations of ancestors and grandchildren were exiled, and now I don't know if they are dead or alive, where are the elders? ”

"It's said that it's your patriarch, it's the elder of your grandfather's brother's family, and after the accident in your room, the patriarch fell into their room, right?"

"If the patriarch's name is Bai Yeshou, then yes, it is indeed my grandfather's own brother."

"That's right, now there are only two of you sisters left in your own house, and the clan arranges a marriage for your sister as the master, what is there to refuse?"

"That's the problem, haven't you found a contradiction yet?" Bai Ko's caring eyes swept over the faces of the three members of the Lu family.

"What contradiction?" The Lu family became nervous.

"Bai Rui set up a female household after being widowed, she is the head of the household, whether she wants to remarry or not, and who she wants to marry is up to her, and it is not the turn of any patriarch to dictate at will."

"It can't be! That's not what your patriarch said! ”

The Lu family shouted, and the soldiers stood up in a hurry, came to Bai Ko, crossed their arms, and stood there menacingly.

Looking at the four big men with tall horses, strong figures, and weapons around their waists, the voice of the Lu family immediately lowered, and they sat down on the chair honestly.

"How can this be, we are almost ready for marriage, and the neighbors know that our family is going to marry a new daughter-in-law."

"You guys have been fooled, hurry up and find other girls, Bai Rui is not interested in your family, and somehow someone came to the door to propose, is this trying to ruin her reputation so that she can be forced to marry?"

"No, no, no! We didn't mean that! It's really the elders of your clan who said that you can marry her, so we sent a matchmaker to the door! also said that there is no need to give a bride price to marry Bai Rui, as long as she nods, she can carry her away at any time. ”

Bai Ko rolled his eyes, knowing why this family was just a small rich family now, and his brain was really not good.

"Bai Rui is a cook hired by Gu Yun Shizi of the Yeguo Mansion, earning a salary of several taels of silver every month, including food and accommodation, and I don't know how comfortable my life is. She nodded and married, and you can carry it away at any time? Do you believe this kind of deceptive nonsense? Which family of the Bai clan did you come into contact with? To fall for such evil? ”

"It's your patriarch's room! The two of us do business, and they owe me a lot of money and can't pay for the goods, so they ask me to marry Bai Rui, and I don't have to give the bride price, so I can do business after being a family! Now you're running to us and telling us it's a lie, how do you make us believe it?! Lu Yuanzhen couldn't help jumping up.

"The patriarch himself has gone to seventy, did he tell you personally?"

"It was his eldest son Bai Xiaoyan who said it, your patriarch is indeed old, and his health is not good, he didn't care about things a few years ago, and now it is that Bai Xiaoyan who comes forward to take care of it."

"I am very sympathetic to what happened to your whole family, but I still say the same thing, whether it is the current patriarch or Bai Xiaoyan, it is impossible to control our sisters, please go to court to solve the debt problem between the two of you, Bai Rui is a big living person, not a pledge to repay debts, if you are entangled with her again, then you have to go to court to defend it."

"Go to court?!" The Lu family jumped up again, with an expression on their faces as if Bai Ko was telling them to die.

"I know, if you don't live in the public gate, you can't go to hell when you die, but if you want to get back the arrears, there is only this one of the safest ways, don't think about kidnapping people for money or beating people in the middle of the night, it's all against the law, it's almost the New Year, and the safety of the house is the most important, right?" Bai Ko knew that the reason for this debt was that the business was multi-cornered, the cash was interrupted, and the money that could not be paid to the previous family was not paid, and the family owed the family, and if it could not hold on and could not collect the account, it was bankruptcy.

"The truth is this, but ...... go to court"

"Bai Xiaoyan owes money, you sue the court, he still doesn't come out, the government will use the assets in his name to cash out the debt, you better act quickly, I think the creditor is not only you, right?" Bai Ko gave a rather kind Jianyì.

Lu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, as an ordinary person's resistance to the public door was immediately diluted, and the most important thing was to be able to recover the account.

"Good! I'll give it a try, and if I can get it back, I'll do it! ”

"If you can't collect the account, you have to give up, it's a common thing to be rejected for marriage, don't want to attach any conditions, don't play word games with me to change concepts." Bai Ko's face sank, and he had nothing to say.

was directly pointed out of his little abacus, Lu Yuanzhen couldn't help but have a fever on his face, exchanged a few glances with his parents, and finally nodded.

"Okay, let's stop proposing marriage, just if there has never been such a thing, I, Lu Yuanzhen, am not an incompetent person who bullies women, and my business debt with Bai Xiaoyan is naturally to settle accounts with him."

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhen still wanted to put a high hat on himself in his words, Bai Ko sneered and didn't expose him again, originally today's original intention was to refuse to propose, and when the goal was achieved, she would stay soon, get up and leave.

The Lu family respectfully sent Bai Ko and his party out, closed the street door, and the family of three felt that their clothes were sweaty.

"This Bai Ko is really powerful, but she is not a girl at all, she is fierce and vicious at a young age, see how she will find her in-laws in the future." The grandmother of the Lu family patted her chest with palpitations.

"Okay, okay, mother, this matter has passed, we don't have a line with Bai Ko, it's all Bai Xiaoyan who came up with ideas, he made a bad calculation, thinking that the elders of the clan could take care of the two girls at will, and the two sisters earned their own food, how could they look at others." Lu Yuanzhen helped his mother back to the house, and his father had already entered the house with a humming heart.

"Son, find someone to write a pleading, sue that Bai Xiaoyan, take back the debt first, this is the most important, whether to marry a new daughter-in-law or not next time."

"Hey, old man, what do you mean by marrying a new daughter-in-law next time? What does it look like to not even have a daughter-in-law at home? Granddaughter and grandson have no one to take care of you, don't you feel distressed? "Grandma Lu was not happy immediately.

"The daughter-in-law in front of you has only been dead for half a year, and the in-laws are still there, don't ask the in-laws to come to the door, do a good job of business first, as long as the family has money, some girls are willing to marry and enjoy the blessings."

"Hey, Bai Rui can't be married, with a sister like Bai Ko, where can I look up to people like us, she is happy to guard her sister."

"Hey, hey, old woman, you have to quarrel, right?!"

The grandmother of the Lu family didn't reply, and put away a table of tea sets and snacks and took them to the kitchen, leaving the two of them in the house to discuss the lawsuit.

Of course, Bai Ko didn't really come up with such an idea, if the yamen really used the clan property that Bai Xiaoyan took care of to pay off the debt, she would be able to take the opportunity to recover it behind her back, and the patriarch who had no clan property would face the questioning of the clansmen in one room, that scene must be very interesting.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the street scene outside, Bai Ko smiled triumphantly.

She Bai Ko has been famous in the capital for three years, who doesn't know that she is ruthless, why does Bai Xiaoyan, the acting patriarch, think that they will not provoke her Bai Rui if they calculate Bai Rui? It's no wonder that such a brain can't take care of the family property, and it has shrunk in eight years, so let's hand it over quickly.
