Chapter 948: Another Chance Encounter
Bai Ko had already gone to visit the Song family at that time, and after resting for the night, the injuries on his body were treated with good medicine by the government, and the family's complexion looked better than yesterday. pbtxt.
In order for them to recuperate well, Ning Peilan sent rough maids to take care of them, help them wash their clothes, twist towels when washing their faces or bathing, and replace hot water bottles that have run out of hot water, and these girls also told them about the affairs of the house and Bai Ko overnight, and even the past history of the Bai family has been said, Bai Ko used to be an official maid and is now a citizen with her own skills.
After listening to so many detailed Bai Ko's resume, the Song family's distrust of Bai Ko when they first met them had already flown out, and when they saw Bai Ko coming to visit them, they hurriedly invited her to sit down and apologized for serving her tea.
"Bai Da shopkeeper, yesterday was rude to our family, I don't know Bai Da shopkeeper's ability, and now our family has no long things, so we have to pay tribute with a cup of tea." Uncle Song stood across the table with his wife and children, respectfully holding tea in both hands.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, your family is new to the capital, and it is human nature to think that my little girl is unreliable." Bai Ko took a few sips of the teacup and accepted their apology, "Sit down, if you have something to say, tell me about your affairs, I only know that Xingning Mansion has the largest weaving bureau in the imperial court, and the number of weavers is also the largest in the country. ”
"It's because the new machine is so easy to use that it causes public anger, otherwise the yarn and cloth that I produce day and night with one machine can be worth the output of several families, and those weavers who rely on hand-spinning and weaving will starve to death, they are worried about their livelihood, and our family will be unlucky." Uncle Song sighed.
"What about the big squires in Hong'an County? They're not interested in your new equipment either? This can help them increase their profits, which is a great temptation, how can a businessman refuse it? ”
"The white shopkeeper guessed wrong, the squires of Hong'an County are really not interested, they didn't look at the real thing, they said how can the weaving be compared to the handmade, only the neighbors around my house know the power of the new machine, they are afraid of losing their livelihood, seeing that the squire is not interested, they are bold, spread rumors outside, incite more neighbors to be hostile to us, to force us to move out of Hong'an County, our ancestral graves are there naturally refusing to go, but I didn't expect them to ignore the friendship of generations, in the middle of the night to close my door and set fire to the house. The county lord and the squire breathed out of one nostril, where would they care about the life and death of our small people, obviously there was Tang Lin's testimony and the evidence found in the ruins of the fire, the county lord still sentenced my family to accidentally catch fire with fire, not a word about arson, and Tang Lin said that he had pity on us, and gave our family a slave registration, and took the nearest route out of Xingning Mansion to the next house, and did not dare to stay at the junction of the two provinces, and went straight into the hinterland and then transferred to the capital, if it wasn't for such a big circle, we might have arrived in the capital earlier. ”
"My eldest uncle is from the capital, don't go around like this, when the Hong'an County Order reacts, the squires should send someone to hunt you down."
"Tang Lin also said so, if you want to redress your grievances, you must go to the capital, as long as you can get to the capital alive, it is necessary to toss on the road."
"You took this injury, traveled a long way to the capital, and lived in the Chengwang Mansion, now you are safe, the top priority is to recuperate well, don't leave the root of the disease, if you can't make a new prototype, can't let me make a lot of money, I won't keep you, let alone you want to redress your grievances. As long as your new machine is successful, and I make a lot of money, someone will come to ask me why I am successful, and everyone will know your story, and then there will be righteous people who will do the right thing for heaven. It's much more useful than when you fight to meet someone and tell your grievances, because that's when someone else takes the initiative to help, do you understand the difference? ”
"Understood! Got it! The Song family nodded with joy on their faces.
"Then take good care of your injuries, the person who treats your family is a doctor, obediently follow the doctor's instructions, do you know?"
"Know, know, we'll take care of our wounds! We will! The Song family was so excited that they didn't know how to put their hands down, and their eyes gradually turned red, and the nightmares and sadness of being forced to leave their homes were diluted by hope.
Bai Ko comforted them, gave them visible and tangible hope, and let them recuperate in peace, and then took her leave, and walked back to her small courtyard on the path she was accustomed to.
Gu Yun walked from the opposite side of Bai Ke again as if he had met by chance.
Bai Ko stopped, "The big boss likes to come to the palace for a walk?" ”
"There are few people in the palace, and it is very comfortable to walk without being disturbed."
"The third room in the house has been separated, and after the second room moved out, I thought the house had been quiet."
"It's not easy to move to the second room, too many people have to be resettled, you would never have thought that the people who originally belonged to Second Lady Gu would show their loyalty to the eldest lady in groups."
"The deed is in the hands of the second lady, what is the point of expressing loyalty in the vernacular?"
"I don't know, they can't see the eldest lady anyway, it's just that Pang's mother is a little annoyed by the noise, and then the second lady is a little crazy."
"Don't tell me about your housework, I don't want to know."
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about something else." Gu Yun suddenly took a few steps in front of Bai Ko and took her hand as she retreated.
"Speak as you speak, don't do anything." Bai Ko said so, but he didn't shake it off.
"You're slippery than a loach, catch you to talk well."
"It's like you've caught a loach in a pond."
"Don't underestimate the naughtiest years of boys." Gu Yun said this with confidence.
"Oh, so what you're going to talk to me about when you caught loaches when you were a kid?"
Gu Yun's smug expression instantly froze on his face, "Off topic." ”
"Poof~~~" Bai Ko couldn't help laughing.
"Oops, I was going to get down to business."
"If you want to get down to business, let go of your hands first."
"Don't let go, you ran away again before you finished talking."
"So do you want to get down to business?"
"Say it, but don't let it go." Gu Yun clenched Bai Ko's hand, "I actually went to the stable, looked at your new carriage, and borrowed your carriage for a few days at the end of October." ”
"At the end of October? Isn't it almost the day of the winter hunt? ”
"I won't go to the winter hunt this year, the first prince has a long life, the old lady wants to go to the ancestral tomb to worship in person, it will take a few days to go back and forth, your new carriage is stable and comfortable, and it is a side door, and it is convenient for the old lady to get on and off the car."
"Which day are you leaving? I've booked several appointments. ”
"The exact day of departure has not yet been decided, I will give you my carriage."
"No, I can't look at it, it's not comfortable at all."
"Give a face, be wronged." Gu Yun's thumb gently rubbed Bai Ko's palm, "Look, the old lady used your carriage, she sat comfortably, and when she came back, she would definitely praise people when she came back, and we would be able to make a lot of money from this customized carriage at that time." ”
"For business's sake?"
"yes, for business's sake."
"Okay, so be it." Bai Ko immediately decided not to go out if he could go out for a few days.
Gu Yun looked at Bai Ko's pouting mouth with a reluctant look, and pressed the urge to kiss him hard, let go of his hand and pretended to wave goodbye easily.
