Chapter 149: Covetous
Bai took advantage of this, and Bai Qingshuang felt that it was quite useful.
Moreover, although she doesn't like the people of the Bai family flaunting the name of the great Confucian of the family, their behavior is not as good as the pawns of the peddlers, but there is one thing that she still appreciates, that is, their family education does not allow concubines. Unless the in-law is unable to give birth and has nothing to do, the elders will be the masters of a concubine and responsible for giving birth to children, but they will also be respected by their mothers.
"Yu'er, this kid's eyelids are a little thinner, Shuang'er, don't worry about your sister!" Old Madam Bai glared at Bai Qingyu very dissatisfied, of course, it was the Bai Yang clan who was even more to blame: "The third daughter-in-law, Yu'er, this child is about to die in a year, how is his temperament far less obedient and well-behaved when he was a child, you have to teach hard, and you can only say a good family in the future, otherwise this life will be ruined!" ”
"Yes!" Bai Yang's family didn't dare to disobey, and immediately responded, and pulled Bai Qingyu, who couldn't see the wind and clouds, and wanted to say nothing, and didn't let her talk nonsense.
Now that the Bai family's place is small, Rumei quickly took the snow-white ferret fur that was as smooth as the snow outside into the hall and handed it to the old lady Bai.
Mrs. Bai personally put on Bai Qingshuang and handed her a hand stove, only to let Bai Yao be flattered and quickly call Bai Qingshuang to thank her, and she also thanked her again and again: "Thank you mother for loving Shuang'er!" ”
"This child has suffered a lot with you, but she is a stoic and unyielding character, much more sensible than the pampered Die'er and Yu'er, I treat her like this now, it's just a little compensation, you don't have to take it to heart!" Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Qingshuang with a look of how she liked it.
Latter. But I feel that the old goddess is definitely not such a kind person, and the old cunning really doesn't know what to do!
"Mother, it's over, and my mother doesn't have to blame herself anymore!" Bai Zhihong said immediately.
Bai Qingshuang blinked: Daddy won't be subdued by them so easily under the sign of family affection!
"Zhihong is right, no matter who was right or wrong in the past, it has already passed, so don't mention it again!" Old Man Bai didn't feel guilty at all, and looked at his favorite second son with satisfaction, and Bai Qingfeng, who had suddenly become better in time, stroked his beard with a smile.
That's what the patriarch said. Even if Bai Zhigao and Bai Zhifei, who didn't dare in their hearts, they could only echo it again. Everyone is happy on the bright side, and it is really a harmonious scene of a family reunion.
After the housekeeper prepared the sacrificial supplies, he invited a large family to go and specially pack up the side hall of the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestors, burn incense and pray. Seven-seven-eighty-eight busy. It's 10 o'clock.
Bai Qingshuang was so hungry that she had already pressed her chest against her back. As soon as the ancestor worship was over, she wanted to sneak home and make Laba porridge, but Mrs. Bai insisted on leaving their family. The Laba porridge they brought and the Laba porridge prepared by Baifu were hot, and everyone was beckoned to eat together.
As soon as these two kinds of laba porridge were placed on the table, Bai Qingyu had something to say: "Hmph! After earning so much silver, I don't know how to spend it, and it's really a poor family. ”
Although there are only eight kinds of Laba porridge raw materials in Baifu, the ingredients are expensive: in addition to peanuts, which means immortality, and rice glutinous rice, the rest of the ingredients are longan, lotus seeds, bird's nest, white fungus and lily, which are not comparable to their Laba porridge?
Bai Yao's face immediately became a little unbearable.
She has been accustomed to a frugal poor life for more than ten years, and even if she has idle silver on her body for a while, she still habitually tightens her clothes and eats, and has long forgotten the rich days when she was not out of the cabinet or married into the Bai family.
Bai Qingshuang looked at Bai Qingyu with a smile on the corner of her mouth and said: "The third sister is really raised in the deep boudoir, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!" You may not know how much silver will be used up in this Laba porridge today, but I think the eldest aunt who presides over the feeding must know, auntie, do you want to tell the third sister? Then, I can tell you how to sell the flowers in my flower shop, how much capital should be spent on weekdays, and how much net profit is there! ”
This stinky girl, she won't leave the word money when she speaks, so Bai Qingshuang has to wonder if someone deliberately instigated her, otherwise this little girl with a tendon won't care about this at all, what she cares about is how to belittle her, not remind others how profitable her shop is.
Her gaze swept over all the ladies present one by one as if she had unintentionally, and she wanted to see who had taken the idiot's Bai Qingyu to block the gun.
"Shuang'er, when you say this, the eldest aunt is curious about how much profit your shop has? Why don't you speak up and let us hear it, maybe you can come up with an idea to make your business bigger and make more money! When Bai Zhang heard this, he didn't answer how much it cost to make Laba porridge today, but asked with great interest in her shop.
Is it her?
Looking at Bai Zhang's greedy appearance of being about to drool, Bai Qingshuang deliberately sighed with a sad face and said: "No, grandmother, aunt, third aunt and all the sisters and sisters said that my shop is actually not very profitable!" ”
"Who are you fooling, when we are all blind, don't you know how good your shop's business is?" Bai Qingyu immediately said disdainfully.
If those stinky flowers and plants didn't make money, she asked someone to smash the shop that day, why did they protect them so desperately.
"Yes, second sister, I also heard that the flowers in your flower shop are one or two pieces of silver. A bouquet is two taels, but if it is a flower arrangement, it is three taels! Not to mention that you can sell a hundred or ten pots a day, that is, you can sell more or less about fifty, and that is also a hundred taels of silver a day! This month is more than 3,000 taels, don't you want to earn more than 30,000 taels in a year? Bai Huang said with a smile.
Bai Qingyu always provoked Bai Qingshuang's shop to talk about things, which was her idea.
And she came up with this idea, of course, through her mother-in-law Bai Zhang's family, because they really wanted to know how much money Bai Qingshuang's broken shop could make.
As soon as the number of Bai Huang was spoken, Old Madam Bai couldn't help but take a breath, looking at Bai Qingshuang's eyes as if she had seen a treasure!
The eldest daughter, Bai Zhimin, has been whispering in her ear that this wild girl will be a character in the future, not to mention shrewdness and intelligence, she is also very good at making money, and she also knows the Nine Emperor Princes, and her future future may not be worse than Bai Qingfeng.
Therefore, she was reluctant to do everything possible to follow the heart of the old man Bai and leave the Bai Zhihong family, but she didn't expect her granddaughter-in-law to say a great thing today!
No wonder Yu'er's girl always mentions money and her flower shop!
After careful calculation, the income of the dozen or so shops that Bai Zhang married was not as much as that of this wild girl's shop.
If so much silver had been used for the Gongzhong......
Bai Yao's family also looked at her daughter dumbfounded, thinking in her heart, no wonder Shuang'er would give her a tael of silver every day for a day's expenses, but she was reluctant, she always saved again and again, so she wanted to hide some money for herself, so that she could give her a dowry in the future, but she didn't expect that the money her daughter earns now is not at all comparable to what she saves.
"My sister-in-law is very concerned about my sister's shop!" Bai Qingshuang finally saw that this Bai Huang clan was probably the real mastermind behind instigating Bai Qingyu.
"You only said that what my sister-in-law said, is it?" Bai Qingyu was also taken aback, what kind of concept is so much silver, she doesn't have it at all.
Because their monthly rate is only five taels of silver, how many taels of silver should there be more than 30,000 taels? She was completely dizzy.
Bai Qingshuang sneered in her heart, secretly thinking, if they knew that this was just the daily profit of the past few days, and in addition, if the flowers and plants ordered by those aristocratic families on her side every day were directly shipped out of her house before dawn, I don't know if even their jaws would have dropped.
However, Bai Huang's ability to know so well the number of daily retail sales of the flower shop must have something to do with the mole!
A faint gaze swept over Xiao Ju and Xiao Lan who were serving on the side while pretending to arrange their clothes, Bai Qingshuang pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "Sister-in-law is right, since entering the lunar month, the business of the shop has been much better, and there are about forty or fifty taels of silver every day!" ”
Bai Huang's guess was one thing, but Bai Qingshuang admitted it in person was another, and the ladies at the table suddenly looked at Bai Qingshuang with wide eyes.
Bai Qingshuang covered her lips and coughed lightly and continued: "It's just that these are just gross profits, not profits!" ”
"It's just some flowers and plants, how much money can it cost you!" Jealousy made Bai Qingyu almost grit his teeth.
Bai Qingshuang looked at her and chuckled: "That's why I said that the third sister is not a family and doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!" Do you think that the flowers and plants grow by themselves, and they don't need to be fertilized or taken care of? And in this winter, I can raise so many flowers and plants, but I don't know how much charcoal to buy to keep warm! ”
"You use charcoal fire to keep flowers and plants warm?" Bai Qingyu exclaimed, and now his jealous eyes were replaced by looking at an idiot, "Would you rather save charcoal fire instead of heating people, but for flowers and plants?" ”
When Bai Qingshuang heard this, she was ridiculous, as the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, and she seems to like people who talk a lot: "Who did the third sister listen to that I don't give charcoal to my subordinates?" ”
Bai Yao's face also changed, and he stared back at the two maids unabashedly.
Xiao Ju and Xiao Lan's faces immediately turned white, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
Bai Huang glanced at Bai Qingyu: This embroidered pillow is not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
Bai Qingyu also knew that he had lost his words, but at this time, he could only say forcefully: "I, I just guessed casually!" During the snowstorm in October this year, even the lowest black charcoal is more expensive than gold, and you use it to keep the flowers and plants warm, of course, there is no surplus for the next people!
