Chapter 140: Dilemma
After entering the city, there are many people, even if Peng Jingqing has a big temperament, but he also knows that people are terrible, and he does not dare to brazenly ride a horse with a big man and swagger through the market. Therefore, in front of the city gate, she and Su Chen had dismounted, neither of them were riding, leading the horses and mounts, walking through the long streets and alleys, and coming to Bairunlou to see Bai Susu.
In the past two days, Bai Shouyi took a group of house slaves to guard the doors of the Bai Mansion, and the entry and exit had to go through his approval, Bai Susu was originally going to take Doctor Liu to his grandfather for follow-up treatment, but he was intercepted outside the house, coercing her to not let her enter the house if she did not hand over the family business, and also to convene the Bai family elders and shopkeepers to adjudicate Bai Susu's dereliction of duty, and did not send someone to be optimistic about the secret recipe of white porcelain.
Bai Susu didn't want to make a big fuss and let outsiders see jokes, so she temporarily avoided the edge and returned to live in Bairun Building, while coping with the crisis and handling the accounts, facing some porcelain businessmen who came to the door to cancel the contract for buying white porcelain this year, which made her both angry and a little helpless. At present, in addition to reducing the price of the Bai family's porcelain and striving to be lower than the price of the porcelain given by the Ding family, she has no other good way to compete.
But even so, the Bai family only has white porcelain, while the Ding family has two kinds of celadon and white porcelain, and for the necessity of those merchants' business, it is obvious that the Ding family wins.
The merchants and squires who do porcelain export business in Runzhou City will definitely favor the Ding family and dare not offend, because the Ding family has mastered the two most mainstream porcelain firing and mass production, while the Bai family only has white porcelain, which seems to be single.
Although white porcelain was more popular than celadon in the past, and the Bai family's porcelain business occupied a larger share, but after this time, the Bai family's porcelain business was afraid that it would be halved, and the price would be forced to be lowered.
Of course, the thing that worried her the most was her grandfather's condition, on the day of the onset of the disease, Bai Susu invited Su Chen's junior brother Liu Shenyi to treat Bai Fengxian, and used medicinal stones and acupuncture to control the condition a little. But in the next few days, the stroke was serious again, and when Bai Susu brought Dr. Liu to her grandfather for treatment yesterday, he was intercepted by Bai Shouyi and others, and he was not allowed to enter the door.
I didn't see the illness as well, I don't know if my grandfather is dead or alive, the door of the house was blocked by the second uncle and was not allowed to step in, Bai Susu was worried, it was difficult to sleep and eat, plus many blows in the business, he was anxious, physically and mentally haggard, as if he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.
Although she had a shrewd mind in the past, in the final analysis, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, and in ancient times, there were few women who showed up to do business, even if she took two henchmen to visit those second-rate businessmen, but she still ate the closed door or got perfunctory explanations.
They would rather offend the Bai family now than dare to offend the Ding family, because the role of the Bai family is not as important as before, dispensable, but the Ding family is indispensable.
The room on the second floor, the outer room.
Bai Susu frowned and asked, "Doctor Liu, can my grandfather's stroke be cured?" β
"This ...... It's a little tricky, after all, the head of the Bai family is old, and his qi and blood are deficient, which is easy to cause stroke, and in the two diagnoses, the old man found that his pulse was disordered in the body of the Bai family master, and he found that his pulse was disordered, which was still a little different from the previous stroke, it was very weird, and there was no good way for a while. Now that your second uncle won't let us enter the Bai Mansion, we can't get in touch with Old Man Bai, and there is no way. Doctor Liu replied truthfully.
Bai Susu's face became more and more cold, thinking of what her second uncle had done, she couldn't wait to drive her out and regain the power of the family. It's like an enemy, and they all say that they are ruthless emperors, and the same is true in wealthy families.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the attic steps in the courtyard, and Peng Jingqing shouted loudly: "Sister Susu, I brought people back." β
Bai Susu was in trouble, hearing this, thinking that someone she was worried about had returned, her mood improved a little, she stood up and walked towards the door, planning to open the door herself, and even the maid Xiaotong didn't call.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and the moment Bai Susu opened the door, he saw Peng Jingqing's beaming expression, and Su Chen's sleepy face, and said with a faint smile: "You guys are back, come into the house." β
Peng Jingqing asked first: "Sister Susu, how is the situation of your Bai family, have you entered the Bai Mansion today?" β
Bai Susu shook his head and said: "I haven't gone yet, the second uncle has blocked the gate, unless you break in, otherwise, you will go in." β
Peng Jingqing was a little worried: "Isn't Grandpa Bai's condition going to be delayed?" β
Bai Susu sighed lightly and nodded: "I am also discussing grandpa's condition with Doctor Liu, if the second uncle still insists on going his own way and does not miss the old feelings, Su Su can only break through." β
Su Chen walked over, looked at Bai Susu's somewhat haggard face, which was very different from the radiant look seven or eight days ago, and a tired look similar to his own tired appearance that he hadn't slept well, and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" β
Bai Susu was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Chen, as soon as the two of them met, he didn't ask what happened to the Bai family, nor did he mention anything else, the first sentence he said, he actually asked her if she slept well last night, the most simple and straightforward sentence may seem a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders. However, for some reason, she was soft in her heart, as if the hardest protection in her heart had been knocked out of a gap.
"Well, I slept late, there were a lot of tricky things, and I couldn't sleep well." Bai Susu replied gently.
"I didn't sleep last night, so we'll all have to catch up on it tonight." After Su Chen finished speaking, he yawned.
Peng Jingqing stretched out his hand beside him and twisted Su Chen's ribs, and said angrily: "When is this happening, you are only thinking about sleeping, but you are using your ingenuity to help Su Su come up with a few conspiracies and tricks to deal with her second uncle and the Ding family!" β
"What a conspiracy, such a terrible statement!" Su Chen frowned, and distanced himself from this little girl to avoid her little poisonous hands.
Peng Jingqing also knew that he had used the wrong word, so he changed his words and said: "Then the magic trick is always good, in short, you hurry up and come up with a way!" β
Su Chen's expression was speechless, and he sighed: "You and I are Zhuge Liang, a clever calculation, a fan of chicken feathers, you can come up with a countermeasure." β
Peng Jingqing sneered: "How can there be chicken feathers, people are crane tails and carved feathers, don't think I don't understand, my father has a feather fan!" β
Bai Susu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache, this pair of enemies got together, if they didn't quarrel a few words, something would be strange.
Doctor Liu walked over and arched his hand at Su Chen, "I've seen Senior Brother Su!" β
Su Chen saw that he was also there, and returned the salute: "Senior Brother Liu is polite, you came here, you are planning to treat Old Man Bai, right?" β
Bai Susu took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "A few days ago, I invited Doctor Liu to treat my grandfather, but the disease of stroke has always been very stubborn, and it can never be cured overnight, Doctor Liu prescribed medicine and acupuncture in parallel, and it was relieved in the first two days, but then the condition is still recurring, and there are signs of continued deterioration. β
