Section 54 The Bai Family
The Bai family in the capital has been panicking recently.
Since the VIP building was seized by Jinyiwei, there has been no news, and I dare not ask. Originally, Jinyiwei was very polite to the Bai family, but a few days later, Jinyiwei came to the door and took away the guys in the VIP building, as well as everyone in the Bai family's old mansion, everyone in the Bai family went to Jinyiwei to go through the hall, and the guys in the VIP building and Yuelai Inn were all tortured, and after everyone knew that the shopkeeper Mo was the White Lotus Sect, they couldn't help but scold, they looked like dogs, but they didn't expect it to be the White Lotus Sect, which was expressly forbidden by the imperial court. Fortunately, under the punishment, no one confessed, but confessed some clues about Mo Xibao, and then Jinyiwei released everyone, but the guys died a few, mainly because they had more contact with Mo Xibao, these people were punished more heavily, so they accidentally died, and their families didn't dare to say anything, if Jinyiwei buttoned them up with the hat of the White Lotus Sect, the whole family would suffer. Although the family members didn't dare to go to Jinyiwei, they all came to the Bai family's old house to cry, complaining that the old man Bai used the people of the White Lotus Sect to cause death to his own family, and the old man Bai had to give a lot of buried silver to appease the people.
Old Man Bai was also worried, and he didn't know whether the token obtained by his children was a blessing or a curse, but Jin Yiwei was more polite to the Bai family, and he didn't use torture, but he took back the token. It was only after the interrogation that an officer who claimed to be a commander called himself into a room and told him very clearly that he was not allowed to marry his daughter, and that it was a blessing for their family that a big man had taken a fancy to her. Old Man Bai asked, what should I do? The officer smiled and said, "Raising your girl well is what you should do." "When he was done, he let him go home.
After returning home, the old man Bai asked his children and found that there was no use of torture, especially his daughter, or a woman came to ask, the main question was how the daughter got this jade pendant, in fact, this jade pendant did not say whether it was for the son or the daughter, but I didn't expect to miss the daughter's life, the old man Bai was a little frustrated, and he didn't dare to say anything he wanted to say, so he had to stuff it in his heart. Bai Wangru could see it, and felt that a trip from Jinyiwei was thrilling and dangerous, and he felt that it was something worth showing off. Bai Fangrui was thoughtful, feeling that Jinyiwei was a little special to herself, she couldn't help but laugh, she felt that Jinyiwei had misunderstood, thinking that the owner of the jade pendant had thoughts about herself, but she didn't even know who the owner of the jade pendant was, and this jade pendant was originally for her brother, but as a woman, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she was so misunderstood, and she stayed in the embroidery building when she got home, and she didn't go out.
The matter of the Bai family slowly spread in the Jingshi, and when everyone heard that the shopkeeper of the Bai family was the White Lotus Sect, the Bai family immediately became cold in front of the door, and everyone took a detour when they saw the old man Bai, and the Bai family's business was immediately taken care of, and the servants and men in the family all resigned one after another, and the huge Bai family immediately became deserted, and even if the VIP building was unsealed, it was meaningless, because the guys ran out. However, there is also an advantage, that is, no one proposes to marry Bai Fangrui with the Bai family anymore, and the things that made Old Man Bai and Bai Fangrui distressed in the past have disappeared.
On this day, Old Man Bai was sitting in the hall to teach his son, because he was really in a bad mood, and he didn't have anything to do, he scolded his son for not growing up for a while, and scolded his son for having no eyes for a while, and reusing the White Lotus Sect; Bai Wangru did not show weakness, saying that the old man reused Mo Xibao first. At this time, the housekeeper at the door suddenly ran in and sent in a post, father and son glanced at each other, and forgot to be angry, this is a new thing, after so many days, someone finally came to the door, the old man Bai took a look, "Wang Du", I don't know, asked: "Butler, who is this?" Why is there only one name and nothing else? Where is he? What does it look like? ”
The housekeeper said: "Just outside the door, about thirty years old, dressed in white, with two attendants, carrying a box in his hand, like an official." ”
"Official?" Old man Bai was born in business and knew many officials, but he always went to visit people, and no official ever came to visit him, so he looked at Bai Wangru: "Do you know people with official faces?" ”
"I don't know." Bai Wangru muttered, the son of the official knows a lot, but the official really doesn't know him.
Old Man Bai thought about it and told the housekeeper to let people in, and the official people couldn't afford to offend.
After a while, Wang Du walked in, saw the two people in the hall, and arched his hand: "Old Master Bai, Young Master Bai, I'm bothering you today." ”
Before Old Man Bai could speak, Bai Wangru ran up, took Wang Du's hand and said, "Mr. Wang, why are you, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, our family would be unlucky." He turned back to Old Man Bai and said, "Father, this Mr. Wang is the benefactor who gave us a token." ”
When Old Man Bai heard this, his face sank, this person is sending tokens? Is your daughter's life wrong for this person? What is this person doing on the door? Do you want a daughter of your own? couldn't help but get angry, and wanted to tear this person apart, but he still stood still, because he found that the entourage behind Wang Du had a big waist and a round waist, and he estimated that he couldn't beat it.
Wang Du didn't know what Old Man Bai was thinking, but Bai Wangru was a familiar acquaintance, and he had already chatted with Wang Du, but they were all gag topics, and Wang Du also responded with a smile. Old Man Bai thought for a while, then put down the teacup and said, "Mr. Wang came here today, why are you doing it?" ”
Wang Du smiled and said, "Old man Bai, the juniors came here this time because they have something to ask the old man." ”
"What's the matter? My Bai family is now cold, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much. ”
Wang Du looked around and said with some surprise: "Why?" Isn't the Bai family a famous rich family in the capital? When I entered the house just now, the younger generation found that there were not many people in the house, why did I find it? ”
Old Man Bai sighed, and recounted the recent events, and Bai Wangru also added oil and vinegar to the side.
After Wang Du listened, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to make such a big fuss, but these things are small things and easy to solve." The juniors have some things they want to ask Old Man Bai to help sell them. As he spoke, he asked the attendant around him to bring up a box, and after opening it, there were twelve grids, and Wang Du took out the contents of the grid and put them on the table one by one.
With Wang Du's movements, the eyes of Old Man Bai and Bai Wangru were about to pop out, and Bai Wangru pounced on him, picked up a cup and put it in front of him, looked left and right, and exclaimed: "Good baby, really good baby, so crystal clear, what a rare treasure." The old man Bai also trembled and picked up a cup, looked left and right, and couldn't put it down.
Wang Du saw the expressions and movements of the two, and did not speak, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly, and said in his heart: They are all soil buns, or I have followed His Highness for a long time, and I have seen these things a long time ago, otherwise I will lose my temper today, hehe.
After a long time, Old Man Bai calmed down, put the cup in his hand on the table, looked at Wang Du and said, "Mr. Wang, dare to ask if these things are sold by the Bai family?" ”
"Yes," Wang Du put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I wonder what Old Man Bai thinks these things are expensive?" ”
Old Man Bai thought for a moment and said, "If there are only a few pieces in the world, then ten thousand taels of gold are not too much, but I don't know how Mr. Wang got this thing?" ”
Wang Du has the intention of selling it at a high price, but His Royal Highness has already said that the cost of this kind of glass is very low, and the price cannot be too high, otherwise it will become a scandal for the royal family in the future. After thinking for a while, he said, "Old man Bai, my master said that there is no semicolon in the world for these things, they are called glasses, mirrors and glass necklaces," he said, took another box, and put the mirror and glass necklace on the table.
Even with the shock just now, the father and son were still stunned by the mirror, Bai Wangru grabbed it, while looking, muttered a little: "I Bai Wangru lived to be twenty years old, but for the first time I was sure that there was a small mole on the left side of my face, I was told before, I still don't believe it, and besides, this mirror is really good, it looks like Bai Gongzi I am more and more handsome." ”
Seeing Bai Wangru's self-absorbed appearance, Old Man Bai was angry, snatched it from his son's hand, glanced at it, and was also stunned, and said to himself: "It turns out that I am so old, no wonder my wife calls me an old man." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but wipe my tears.
Wang Du was a little speechless, this father and son are really living treasures, I originally thought that Bai Wangru was wonderful, but now it seems that this old man Bai is not inferior, I don't know how the Bai family earned this family business.
After that, things were simple, and finally it was agreed that Wang Du would provide a complete set of glass teacups every month, of all shapes and sizes, with a total of ten cups; Fifty additional glass cups are provided; Mirrors are provided with ten faces per month, in two sizes: five inches and one foot; Ten strings of glass beads are also available. After fierce debate, the agreed sharing ratio was 28 points, and in this regard, Wang Du couldn't help but sigh that Old Man Bai was a baht, but His Royal Highness gave the bottom line, and he bit it to death, and Old Man Bai had to agree.
After talking, Wang Du was about to leave, but he was forced to eat a meal by the old man Bai, and the old man Bai had long forgotten his previous dissatisfaction, but he still knocked on the side to find out who the owner in Wang Du's mouth was, but Wang Du kept silent, just smiled, and the old man Bai couldn't help it. The two sides ate the wine and dinner, and felt that the feelings were a lot deeper, Wang Du promised to supply the goods on the first day of each month, and would never delay, the old man Bai thanked him repeatedly, and the two sides put their arms together, and they were satisfied.
Old Man Bai looked at the glass in front of him, and felt that the time had come for the Bai family to turn over, so he hurriedly called his daughter over to discuss how to sell these things, as for his son, he couldn't count on it.
Wang Du immediately reported to Zhu Yunwen when he went back, and Zhu Yunwen was also very excited, and his plan to make a fortune finally began......
