Here, the Bai family is busy reforming his family's industry, Chen Wenhui is busy going to see his good sisters to make a decision, and Chen Yuanheng is busy preparing for spring ploughing.

At this time, Hu Shi came back with Mingzhu.

Bai and Hu were very happy to meet, busy reminiscing, Wen Hui and Mingzhu were also very happy to meet, Mingzhu told Wen Hui what she had seen in Beijing, and also showed Wen Hui the gifts she brought from the capital, and the two girls chattered non-stop.

The next day, Mingzhu and Hu sent the gifts they had brought from the capital to Chen's mansion, including the latest books that Mingzhu had given to his father-in-law, Chen Yuanheng's Beijing Bookstore. There are also the most popular silk flowers, skirts, lace and so on in the capital that Hu and Mingzhu gave to the Bai family, as well as books for the two Chen brothers and newly made jade paper in the capital. What was given to Chen Wenhui was a few miscellaneous books and travelogues that Mingzhu specially collected in the Beijing Bookstore, as well as two beautiful skirts with small flowers. There is also a pine green sweat towel.

Bai showed the accounts to Mingzhu and Hu, and told them that Mingzhu's 20,000 taels had been taken to buy a property next to Deqing Market. This made Hu Shi overjoyed: "Sister, is Deqing going to build a market too?" Wouldn't we be going to make another profit? ”

Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister, the market in Deqing has been built a long time ago, and there have been transactions, and the transaction volume is larger than that of Ancheng, but this may not be as much as the appreciation of Ancheng, after all, the housing prices in Deqing are high, and they are expensive when they are bought, and the appreciation will naturally be slow and less, but there must be something to earn." ”

Hu Shi smiled: "This is my greed, it is really because this money is prepared for the child as a dowry in the future." I think when I got married, I had 50,000 taels of dowry, and now I can only give Mingzhu 20,000 taels, but you have helped me buy real estate, and after three or four years, Mingzhu is estimated to be able to pay more when he gets married, and I don't want it at that time, so I will give Mingzhu as a dowry. ”

Mingzhu blushed with shame. Bai smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry." Mingzhu's dowry in the future will not be only 20,000 taels, and I estimate that it may be able to catch up with your dowry back then. You see, we're going to cast 20,000 taels now. I guess in a few years. At least it can become 30,000 taels, and what about my stepmother's makeup? And her grandfather, grandmother, and three uncles, how can they catch up with your dowry, so don't worry about it. I think you'd better get your pharmacy quickly. Several of your apprentices are waiting for you. ”

As soon as he mentioned the pharmacy, Hu Shi was concerned and said, "Hey. When I was in the capital, I was thinking about my pharmacy and my apprentices every day. It's a pity that I can't take care of the pharmacy right now. ”

At this moment, Bai Shi was strange: "Sister, what else is more important than the pharmacy?" ”

Hu said, "Hey. It's not that Mingzhu is a child who wants to see her father, I have experienced this kind of thing, back then, my father was convicted, and I wanted to see my father and mother day and night. It's a pity that that person didn't let me see it, which made me hate it for more than ten years. Now that Mingzhu has encountered such a thing, I still have something I don't understand, just think it's for Mingzhu. I'm going to take her to Qingyang City to see her father. ”

Wen Hui was busy looking at her friends, and saw that Mingzhu thought of her father at this time, and her eyes were already red. Wen Hui hurriedly said: "It's right to take a look, let my father and mother arrange a few people for Aunt Hu to follow, and it's more convenient to go and see." ”

Mingzhu gratefully shook Wen Hui's hand.

Bai Shi looked at it and sighed: "No matter what he does, he is always Mingzhu's biological father, and no one can change this." Just check it out. I'll ask the master to take care of you and send a shrewd man to follow. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly saluted the Bai family and said, "Thank you, stepmother." It's just that I'm still thinking about the spring ploughing on the Zhuangzi at home, and I want to arrange it before leaving. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "That's right, it's not bad at this time." I think you will plant sweet potatoes in Zhuangzi this year. That thing is easy to grow, and there will be other uses in the future, Hui'er told me, I will tell you when your sweet potatoes are harvested, this is a good way to make money. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly agreed, and thanked Bai's again.

A few people chatted for a while, Wen Hui was afraid that Mingzhu would be sad to think of her father again, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Sister, you just came back, sue you for something." Sister Lan Caiyu has already made up her mind. ”

Mingzhu was surprised this time: "Ah, such a big thing is hateful that I am in the capital, I didn't catch up, it was the boatman who walked slowly, I said that I should rent a boat by myself." Look, did you miss something? ”

Wen Hui smiled: "You have such a quick temper, really, where did you make a mistake?" What if you don't get married until the end of the year? You just have to catch up with the dowry. ”

Mingzhu thought about it for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Whose house is it for?" How is Brother-in-law Lan? How are the people? How is home? How is my mother-in-law? How many brothers and sisters are married, how many are married, there is a powerful sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law does not? ”

Wen Hui thought for a while and said: "She has a sister-in-law who loves to laugh, make trouble, like bright clothes, don't like reading, and like to eat. ”

Mingzhu frowned and said, "Such a sister-in-law is not good, she must not be married yet, right?" Such a sister-in-law must please her parents, which is even more difficult to deal with, which is equivalent to having an extra mother-in-law. ”

Wen Hui laughed heartily: "Hahahaha"

This made Mingzhu laugh stupidly: "Sister, I'm anxious for Sister Caiyu here, why are you still laughing?" Sister Caiyu is such a good person, she is the most careful and generous, she cares about people the most, usually Sister Caiyu treats you so well, why don't you have a heart? ”

Wen Hui saw that Mingzhu was a little angry, so she stopped laughing and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and my sister's favor has been practiced." I just said a few words, and my sister can deduce that this sister-in-law is not good, they are all sisters, you prefer Sister Caiyu, you don't like Sister Yaozhen, I want to find a chance to talk to Sister Yaozhen. ”

Mingzhu was anxious: "Where do I don't like Sister Yaozhen, I'm talking about Sister Caiyu's sister-in-law, where do you say Yaozhen, you are really ......"

Suddenly, Mingzhu remembered something, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Wen Hui. Wen Hui nodded with a smile, and Mingzhu was overjoyed: "Sister Lan Caiyu is going to marry into Sister Yaozhen's family?" Isn't that good? Which brother is Sister Yaozhen's? ”

Wen Hui said: "It's the boss Wang Zhicheng, we have all met, a very shrewd person at first glance, who has already started to help Uncle Wang with his business." ”

Mingzhu patted her heart lightly with her hand and said, "It's good now, in this way, we can still see each other from time to time, maybe more than Sister Caiyu saw before she got married." We are all familiar with the aunts of the Wang family, and they are the most kind, and the grandmother of Sister Yaozhen of the Wang family is also the most kind, and Sister Caiyu must be very good when she arrives at his house. ”

Wen Hui said: "However, I want to sue Sister Yaozhen tomorrow, it turns out that in someone's eyes, her sister-in-law is such a hateful person." ”

Mingzhu was hurried: "Good sister, spare me this time, if I knew that it was Sister Yaozhen, I wouldn't say anything about it, besides, you should say Sister Yaozhen first, if you want to sue sù, I will also sue sù." ”

Wen Hui hurriedly said, "Okay, I won't talk about it." Let's think about finding a time to get together, after more than a month, it is estimated that the peach blossoms will bloom, I have already agreed with my mother, we will play for a few days. By the way, our family is going to build roads and pavilions on the mountain, and the scenery will definitely be more beautiful by then, and we couldn't go last year. ”

Mingzhu is the most fun-loving, counting the days, at that time, the things in the Zhuangzi at home should have been dealt with, and it was time to go to Qingyang City to see his father come back, so he happily agreed. The two little girls began to talk about going to play again.

Bai and Hu also have a lot to say. Hu Shi told the Bai family about the actions of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, and then said: "At that time, I was angry with the second sister-in-law, or Mingzhu learned from you smartly, after returning to the room, he quietly said to me, I am afraid that there is something about the sister-in-law, I wondered at the time, I didn't go out of the cabinet, and the sister-in-law was the best, how could the sister-in-law deal with me." Later, I observed for a while, and asked my mother, if it was really the idea of the eldest sister-in-law, to use the second sister-in-law as a gunman, knowing this, I was very angry, fortunately I had you and Lord Chen to help, this is some silver, otherwise, I was angry in the Xu family, and I didn't stop when I returned to my parents' house. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "Sister, don't be angry, this is also human nature, they must not have been like this before, when you came out of the pavilion, they didn't say anything, why did they say it at this time?" At that time, they had a lot of silver, where did they take the 50,000 taels of silver to heart, and then what they said was your parents' money, and they didn't feel distressed. Now, after so many years of hard life, they have long been poor and afraid, and the things in their hands have long been copied when they were raided, so that now they are all staring at them like black-eyed chickens. When you come back, the small amount of silver will be distributed to you and Mingzhu again, can they be happy in their hearts? From this point of view, you should be glad that at least there is a third sister-in-law, if it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that the three sisters-in-law will deal with you. ”

Hu Shi thought that what Bai said made sense, and he was happy again. I remembered one thing and looked at it, my daughter and Wen Hui were chatting happily, and I didn't pay attention to her here at all, so I whispered: "There is another thing, I originally asked my mother to find Mingzhu's in-laws, and my mother was also willing to marry Mingzhu to the capital, and I would take care of it in the future, so I agreed." Who knew that the two sisters-in-law knew, and they were busy introducing their maiden nephews, so I was a little hesitant, you see? ”

Bai Shi thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't approve of Mingzhu marrying into the capital. I want Mingzhu to marry in this land south of the Yangtze River, find someone with a solid family background, good character, and good family style, and it would be better for us to marry more, you see? ”

Hu Shi thought about it, and it made sense to talk about something else.
