"It's nature!" Bai Qiyun's face was slightly pale.

Bai Qingyan nodded and looked at the Dong family: "A few days ago, my grandmother told me that after the funeral of the Guogong Mansion, it meant that I would wait to return to my ancestral hometown of Shuoyang. Originally, I planned to tell you about our ancestral house in Shuoyang in the next few days...... Thing to renovate! Steward Hao said that his grandfather had this meaning for a long time, and ordered the old housekeeper who was from his ancestral home to send repair drawings. Our ancestral house is already large, and if it is repaired well, it will cost about 180,000 or 90,000 taels of silver, which is not counting the purchase of some things. Because of the huge amount, our Guogong Mansion couldn't take it out for a while, so it was shelved. ”

Bai Qiyun's heart jumped, thinking that Bai Qingyan was going to use the matter of repairing the ancestral house, so he prevaricated and didn't give the silver!

Bai Qiyun's face was pale.

Just now he said that the daughters of the Guogong Mansion want to return to the ancestral home of Shuoyang, he said that if people want to go back, it must be important to repair the ancestral house first, he has a feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, but he still sneered: "The century-old military general's home in the Guogong Mansion, you can't get 189,000 taels of silver for repairing the ancestral house, who is the cousin and nephew coaxing?!" Take whatever you want from the military rations and salaries of the country's mansion...... There's more than that! ”

Her eyes sank: "Uncle Cousin is cautious!" You are also a person who is not confused, and you speak so carelessly. Embezzling military food and salaries is a big crime of the Nine Clans, Uncle Tang dares to say...... Our government does not dare to accept it. ”

Bai Qiyun pursed his lips, he was indeed angry for a while.

After taking a deep look at Bai Qiyun, she continued to say to the Dong family: "For the clan to buy land, repair ancestral temples, repair ancestral halls, ancestral tombs, and schools, since my grandfather promised it, even if my grandfather is no longer here, we have to do it, the clan will need 450,000 taels, and the repair of the ancestral house will be 200,000 taels, and this will be 650,000 taels!" ”

Bai Qiyun's brows jumped, this is indeed not a decimal [Shuquge quge.xyz] word.

"Mother, the dowry of you and your aunts must not be moved, even in order to repair the ancestral temple, ancestral hall, ancestral tomb, and school of the Bai family, and buy land and property for the clan, no matter where you go, there is no reason to move the dowry of your daughter-in-law and children! The daughter thought that she would sell all the shops and houses in the Guogong Mansion! There are also farms and fertile fields on the outskirts of the capital that have also been sold to make up money, anyway, in the end, the widow of the Guogong Mansion still has to return to Shuoyang to rely on the clan, so it is better to leave cleanly, and don't leave anything to worry about in the capital......"

Bai Qiyun and Shuoyang's two masters were stunned, but they didn't expect Bai Qingyan to say such a bunch of things in the end, not to excuse themselves, but to come with such a sentence.

Dong looked at his daughter suspiciously, only to see her daughter smiling at her, Dong frowned and calmed down, picked up the teacup and said, "These family businesses are not said to be sold. ”

Bai Qiyun's heart was moved, these industries of the Guogong Mansion were all making money in the capital, if the Guogong Mansion sold the long street shops or something in order to make up money, he could quietly let the steward buy one or two, and he would not have to worry about it in the future.

"I know that Uncle Tang is in a hurry, and he said that he would prepare it tomorrow!" She sneered, turned her head sideways and said to the Dong family, "Mother, now the richest businessman Xiao Rongyan is still in the capital, it just so happens that Chen Qingsheng and the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion in our house are very familiar with each other, so we can let the housekeeper Hao and Chen Qingsheng go to ask together, looking at the world, I am afraid that only Xiao Rongyan can take out such a large sum of money in a moment and a half." ”

"Actually......" Bai Qiyun spoke, swallowed his words back again, and only said, "Actually, Qingyan is right!" ”

He originally wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, and even wanted to persuade Dong and Bai Qingyan to slowly sell at a good price, so as to give him time to make a profit.

But as soon as these words came out, they contradicted what he was anxious about tomorrow, and he could only swallow them back.

"Since it is over, then ask the three cousins to put incense on my grandfather and father in a serious manner, and tell them that the affairs of the clan have been answered by our Guogong Mansion. I also let my grandfather and father know that the clan has inherited the love of our Guogong Mansion, and the clan will take care of the widow of the Guogong Mansion in the future, and it is good...... Reassure my grandfather and father! ”

Bai Qingyan said this reasonably, if he couldn't even give a promise after taking the money that others had scraped together, it would be too shameless!

Seeing that Bai Qiyun was silent, the two old men in Shuoyang gently tugged on Bai Qiyun's sleeve and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Cousin, this is reasonable...... Over the years, the Guogong Mansion has taken a lot of care of the clan, and you were too anxious just now, as soon as you entered the door and did not incense, you told Mrs. Shizi about this matter, and many people saw it, just to save one or two, you should really take advantage of the pillar incense. ”

"That's right! The Guogong Mansion has paid for the money, and the clan has benefited, and what their orphans and widows want is nothing more than a face, even if Shangzhu Xiang said a few words about the widow of the Bai family in front of the guests who came to mourn, it was also worth it! Again...... If you say this in front of the visitors, the Guogong Mansion will not be able to rely on the orphans and widows to play tricks and refuse to give money! ”

Bai Qiyun was too anxious just now, he wanted to talk about it before the two younger brothers resigned, and he didn't mean not to have incense.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he no longer has to act like he is on top, and the Guogong Mansion is always holding a funeral.

"I didn't mean to have no incense, but I was in a hurry!" After Bai Qiyun finished speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "Since this matter has been finalized, then go to the incense and tell the grandfather and the prince of the country, so that they can know!" Mrs. Shiko...... If there is something offended, look at Haihan! ”

Dong turned his head sideways and said to Mama Qin: "Mama Qin, you take the three masters to incense." ”

"Yes!" Mama Qin folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and made a gesture of invitation after respectfully saluting the three masters of the Shuoyang Bai family.

Seeing the three of them walking out of the hall on the front foot, Dong Shi stood up impatiently and asked, "Ah Bao, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" ”

The Zhenguo Mansion can get those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but this matter is too annoying for the clan, even if you want to give it, where can you give it so happily?!

"Ah Niang...... Bai Qingyan grabbed Dong's arm and said as he walked towards the front mourning hall, "Since we are going back to our ancestral hometown in Shuoyang, instead of being exploited by the clan at that time, it is better to directly and cleanly sell all the properties on the side of the house this time!" Taking advantage of the fact that the grandfather's mourning hall was set up outside the courtyard gate, let Jinzhi and Jintong make this matter bigger, so that the clan and the world would know that we were forced to help the clan this time...... Even the property in hand is sold coefficiently. After the people of the clan took the money this time, they could no longer ask our orphans and widows to help the clan because of the terrible words of people in the future, this is one of them. ”

"Second...... Is it to make a gesture of withdrawing from the capital and reassure the emperor? Dong asked.
