Chapter XXVIII

I really don't know what the seemingly shrewd Luo lady in front of her thinks, if she doesn't test the Wu Hao Bird Shop that has a relationship with her, will she still hide it from everyone until now?

Chu Shihua felt that the scene in front of her was the usury of modern society, and at this moment, except for the worst plan, to give the bird market to that Ji Ye, she didn't know what else to do: "Qingchen, is there no other way?"

Bai Qingchen looked at the two of them and didn't look like people who still had a backhand: "If you want to keep the bird market, there are two ways in front of us now, one is to raise money, and the other is to find a way to reduce the interest!"

As soon as Luo Niangzi heard Bai Qingchen's words, she said categorically: "Impossible, the old man has not been optimistic about the bird market from beginning to end, and there is no possibility of asking for a little silver from the house, and that Ji Ye, he himself is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, how can he still lower the interest written clearly in black and white!"

Luo Niangzi's words made Bai Qingchen's heart even more angry: "Hmph, Luo Niangzi can see it, then what did you think when you signed the IOU?"

Luo Niangzi was speechless by Bai Qingchen, especially the eyes that looked at her, without a trace of emotion, so cold that she was afraid.

Bai Qingchen looked at Chu Shihua and Bai Ziyi: "Father and mother, don't forget, what are these 100,000 taels of silver used for!"

As soon as the front foot finished interrogating Luo Niangzi and Ye Kuan, they discussed a solution to the problem, and someone came to the big house on the back foot to spread the news, saying that Bai Ziheng was back, and Nanyang had negotiated a big deal, and the old man was happy, and he wanted to set up a banquet in the main house of Baifu, so that the people in the second and fourth rooms must attend!

That being said, it just refers to Bai Ziyi and Bai Zizhou, the old man's intention, everyone knows, is nothing more than to use this matter to preach to his other two sons, and for Sifang, Chu Shihua has attended family banquets only a handful of times.

Therefore, when Bai Ziyi appeared in front of everyone with Bai Qingchen and Chu Shihua, it was like dropping a boulder on the calm and waveless water, which shocked some people to talk about it.

The most embarrassing thing in the entire Bai Mansion is none other than the lady of the big house, and she looked at the table where the old man Bai Yanshi was located: "Eh, there is no place over there, the fourth lady and the dust girl come here."

The table where the lady is located are all the concubines of the big room and the second room and some young ladies and sons, and there are still a few vacant seats that are not seated, and there are only two empty stools left at the table where the old man is.

Chu Shihua smiled: "This is a lady, I haven't seen her for a few days, why did you forget the rules, the old lady is the most taboo to distinguish between wives and concubines, that is, to add two stools, why bother to offend the old lady."

The lady didn't expect that the fourth lady, who had always been like a stuffy gourd, would use the old lady to pressure herself, which was still the most taboo thing for the old lady, she was a little unwilling, and wanted to refute two sentences, but as soon as her eyes touched the eldest lady, she swallowed the anger in her mouth.

After sitting down, there was still a vacant seat next to Bai Qingchen, the old man looked at it, and before he could speak, Bai Zizhou replied diligently: "Old man, I heard that the fifth brother is in the gambling house, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while."

The fifth master of Baifu, Bai Ziwen, a baby who was picked up by the old man, is said to have encountered robbers on his way back to Beijing, and the baby's biological father and mother also happened to pass there, and were seriously injured at the hands of the robbers.

Speaking of this Bai Ziwen, it is half a catty and eight taels with Bai Ziyi, but Bai Ziwen is young, as old as Bai Qingchen, and he has not married a wife and had children, in Baifu, you can't see him for ten days and a half months.

As for the old man and the old lady, I think it's because the children they picked up don't have the blood of the Bai family on their bodies, and they don't give birth to the bones of the Bai family, so they are extremely indulgent to him, and many things are just frowned upon.

The old man snorted angrily, didn't say anything, and just as the meal came up, everyone raised their chopsticks.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or deliberately, a large table of sumptuous dishes except for a vegetarian soup, the others are more or less full of chili peppers, Chu Shihua has no way to put chopsticks, Bai Ziyi frowned and arranged for the people standing on the side: "Let the kitchen fry two dishes without chili peppers!"

Bai Ziyi's words attracted the eyes of the people at the two tables, probing curious peeps.

The second lady's eyes rolled, and she laughed twice: "Look at this trouble, I forgot that the fourth lady is not as good as before."

The second lady's pun makes people have a lot of ideas.

The eldest lady put down her chopsticks: "It's because I didn't arrange it properly, I forgot that the fourth lady can't eat spicy food now, Mama Yu, you go and let the kitchen prepare four or five more dishes."

The eldest lady's words were decent, and it was impossible to find out what her attitude and thoughts were, Chu Shihua said with a light smile: "Why bother, the two dishes arranged by the fourth master plus the vegetable soup on the table are enough, and the eldest lady doesn't have to be extravagant and wasteful."
