Chapter 186: Chang Fu
Bai Yingtian pondered for a long time and said, "Daddy, since we promised to help the Gu family, we will definitely help." However, we have to explain the conditions to them. We lent the money to his family. If Uncle Gu gambles again, then we will all have to take back the money. Gu Shuling does things in our house, and we also pay her, even if it is the money we pay back to her family. Every money given to them, we have to settle it with them. β
Master Bai hesitated a little, "In this way, will people think that we are too harsh?" It seems that he is also using debt to press people. β
Bai Yingtian shook his head and said, "Daddy, if we don't help them repay this money, their family won't be able to live now." But we repaid the money so easily, and there was no pressure on his family. Only by letting them keep owing us debts will that Uncle Gu not dare to act rashly. We can really help his wife and children. β
Master Bai thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "At present, that's the only way." But this one hundred taels of silver, I don't know when their whole family will pay it back! Maybe they won't be able to earn that much in their lifetime. Aren't we suspected of being forced into slavery? β
Bai Yingtian smiled and said, "Daddy, you seem to be stubborn!" Of course, we can't force the Gu family to pay back. The main thing is to let that Uncle Gu stop gambling money. In the future, when he has indeed changed his ways, we can say at any time that they have paid off their debts. β
Only then did Master Bai breathe a sigh of relief and said, "This is not bad." Okay, do as you say! I'm going to sign a contract with him. Make him more restrained! β
Bai Yingtian smiled and said, "That's very good! Daddy, but to raise the balance? I have a little here. It was the lady who sold a pot of chrysanthemums a while ago to add something to me. β
When Master Bai heard that it was Shen Fang's money to Bai Yingtian, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I can't take your money, or my daughter-in-law's money!" β
Bai Yingtian hurriedly said: "Daddy, even if I lend this money to the Gu family!" You still have to turn around in your pharmacy. I gave all the money to the Gu family, what should our family do? My daughter-in-law and I eat and live at home, and I haven't bothered about you. You should be a piece of filial piety for your son! β
Master Bai listened to him sincerely. Then he took the purse in his hand. "Alright! After a while, when I have enough money, I will return it to you. Where can I use your money! β
Bai Yingtian smiled and returned to the house. I heard Shen Fang ask him, "Father-in-law accepted the money?" Bai Yingtian nodded: "Hmm! My father accepted the idea you told me. It is true that our family will often help the villagers, however, later. This help also needs to be on the charter! β
He lightly smacked Shen Fang's face. By the way, he touched her lower abdomen and said gently: "Is he well-behaved today?" β
Shen Fang is now almost three months old, and she is glad that her morning sickness reaction has not been very serious. I can eat and sleep. So I was able to help Bai Yingtian entertain his friend Aoyagi Childe before.
Hearing Bai Yingtian ask, he smiled and said, "The baby has always been very well-behaved." Bai Yingtian looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, and said: "This baby is like you, he is a sensible and good child!" Shen Fang looked at him. said: "Like you, you should also be a good baby!" β
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. There is a kind of warmth that everything is in plain sight.
Soon, however, their warmth was interrupted.
"Young Master, someone is looking for you outside, saying that it is someone from the capital who is looking for you in a hurry." Spring sprouts come in to report.
I knew that someone was looking for him outside, and it was from the capital. Bai Yingtian thought of the words that Aoyagi Gongzi came over to say before, and couldn't help but condense in his heart. stood up and said, "Tell Uncle An to entertain well, I'll be there soon." β
Seeing the person coming from Beijing, Bai Yingtian couldn't help but be stunned, the person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, with white skin and no beard under his chin. The voice that spoke was slightly sharp: "In Xia Changfu, I have seen Tanhualang!" β
Bai Yingtian bowed to him and said, "Don't dare to be Mr. Chang's courtesy." It's just a piece of cloth now. I don't know what Mr. is here today, what are you doing? β
Chang Fu smiled slightly, took out a sign from his arms, and said solemnly to Bai Yingtian: "The prince's token is here, Bai Yingtian receives the prince's command!" β
Bai Yingtian raised his eyes and found that it was a jade plate coiled by a golden dragon, thinking of the secret decree he had received when he left Beijing, and knew that this matter must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly bowed down: "Bai Yingtian, the grass people, received the prince's command!" β
Chang Fu was very satisfied with Bai Yingtian's respectful attitude. After clearing his throat, he said: "Now that the imperial court is employing people, the crown prince has been observing the people's feelings and understanding the people's opinions in the people for more than a year. Today, Chang Fu, a eunuch walking in the palace, was sent to Panlong County to ask Bai Yingtian about the matter entrusted by the prince. β
Bai Yingtian replied respectfully: "Father-in-law Rong Bing!" Bai Yingtian returned to his hometown for a year and just got a general idea of the situation in Panlong County. The specific situation is written here. I hope the prince will see clearly! As he spoke, he handed Chang Fu a pamphlet.
Chang Fu took the booklet, opened it, looked at it, and closed it. Nodding at Bai Yingtian, he said, "You did a good job!" But isn't it a pity that Bai Tanhua is buried in the countryside like this? β
Bai Yingtian shook his head with a smile and said to Chang Fu: "Father-in-law, everyone has their own ambitions. Bai is willing to live in seclusion in the countryside like this, with his wife and children. Don't seek to be heard in the world. But please be safe with your family! β
Chang Fu smiled, glanced at Bai Yingtian, and didn't say anything more.
He exchanged a few more words with Bai Yingtian, drank a cup of tea, and left.
After hearing Bai Yingtian's response to Chang Fu, Master Gao nodded at him and said, "You did a good job!" After all, the crown prince has not ascended the throne now, and you cannot openly enter Beijing against the holy will. However, now Wei Xiang is indeed a little arrogant, and it is indeed not possible to suppress it without one. I am determined not to enter the career, and you should not enter the career now. It's better to help the prince collect the bad deeds of Wei Xiang's protΓ©gΓ© first. The prince started from a small person, and it was not easy to arouse Wei Xiang's vigilance, and he could also move his whole body with one shot. β
Bai Yingtian nodded, indicating that he was taught. When he went out of Beijing before, the crown prince once sent someone to send him medicine for his injuries, and someone else took the opportunity to send the medicine and gave him the emperor's secret decree.
This secret decree only officially came into effect after Chang Fu came. Chang Fu is the powerful eunuch beside the prince, but he is also the eyes and ears of the emperor beside the prince. The prince's words and deeds are naturally under the watchful eye of the emperor. If the crown prince is loyal to the emperor and grows up completely according to the emperor's wishes, then his position as the crown prince is naturally stable and unshakable. If he actually had a mind that he shouldn't have, then the emperor would definitely not mind cultivating another successor. Therefore, Bai Yingtian did a good job today, not only agreeing to the prince's solicitation, but also not going against the emperor's will. (To be continued.) )
