Chapter 166. The sorrow of the times
Regarding Jing Wu's sudden question, although Bai Jiyuan felt a little inexplicable, he also subconsciously blurted out: "Inferior?" That's naturally valuable, otherwise what does the tooth shop earn? ”
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that Bai Jiyuan's words didn't seem to be wrong at all.
Slaves are naturally valuable, and if they are not valuable, there will be no such thing as "selling themselves", but it is precisely because they sold them for this price that they were materialized and resourced as a matter of course.
For Uncle Bai, Bai Xiantong broke his heart no matter how much he broke it, and she was still his daughter, but the subordinate was just a resource, which could be exchanged for money, and if there was anything wrong with her daughter, money might not work.
So for the sake of Bai Xiantong, even if some people die, in essence, they are only wasted in money and resources.
It was no wonder that Bai Jitong was so shocked when he learned that the Fang family was still a slave who had sold himself, not a serious aunt.
The estrangement brought by class is not enough to fill with no amount of blood!
Jing Wu was still thinking about it, Bai Jiyuan scratched his head, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Do you think that your father's actions are too cruel...... Actually, I also think it's a bit extreme, but these people, since they dare to break into Bingzheng Courtyard so lawlessly, and even knock down the gate of Bingzheng Courtyard, even if they don't do anything next to them, this one thing alone is enough to die, which is no different from betraying the master. ”
Bai Jiyuan's speed of speech became faster and faster, and his expression gradually became angry.
"Jing Wu, you don't often go out, you may not know that the world outside is not so good. I heard the prince say that in this world, even in a good year, there will be many people who will be starved to death and frozen to death, not to mention in a disaster year, and they will only die more. And these slaves, before entering the Bai family, many of them were homeless people who were poorly clothed and hungry, even if they were not homeless, most of the families were not well fed and clothed, the Bai family bought them, gave them food and clothing, and gave them a way to live, but they were still the opposite, rebelling against the master's family, isn't this the dog that bites the master? Although it was a bit cruel to kill like that, there was nothing wrong with that. ”
What Bai Jiyuan said, Jing Wu has indeed never seen it, she has never seen what the homeless people are like, let alone the poverty of this era, she was born in the family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, even if she is only the daughter of a housekeeper, but since she was a child, she has not worried about food and clothing, and she has been in contact with the top people in this era.
At most, she only occasionally heard a few little maids inadvertently talk about how hard she lived before entering the Bai family, but basically only a few words.
The vast majority of people are secretive about poverty.
Jing Wu let out a light "um" and interrupted Bai Jiyuan.
As for why those people died in Bingzheng Courtyard yesterday, Bai Jiyuan obviously only knew one thing, but didn't know the other.
But his words also clearly answered Jing Wu's doubts.
It's not that people's lives are worthless, this is the sadness caused by the background of the times.
Jing Wu is not the Virgin, and her task has never been to save this unequal era, she will still sympathize, but she can't save them, and even at some point in the future, she may become an executioner created by the times like Uncle Bai.
If you want to change an era, you can't do it by advocating an advanced idea that "everyone is equal". In the barren era, "equality" can only be a joke that can never be settled.
Bai Jiyuan was interrupted by Jing Wu, and he was not annoyed, but quickly asked Jing Wu with a smile: "Jing Wu, do you understand?" ”
Jing Wu had already drilled out of the tip of the horns at this moment, and seeing Bai Jiyuan like this, she also rarely cooperated with a smirk: "Mr. Bai, Jing Wu has been taught." ”
Bai Jiyuan nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "The child can be taught!" ”
In the end, Bai Jiyuan, who was addicted to "Mr.", hurriedly rushed out of the door under Jingwu's enthusiastic prompting, and rushed to Yanhe Hall.
Jing Wu then quickly cleaned himself up and searched around his yard, and sure enough, she was the only one left.
Everyone is very busy these days, Luwu is very busy, the beauty is very busy, her father is also very busy, and even she runs to Zhining Hospital every day to report.
All of a sudden, the days were hectic and became scheduled.
In the next few days, Jing Wu, whether in Zhining Courtyard or in other parts of the Bai family, never heard any news of "Seven Flowers and Seven Leaves".
It seems that overnight, "Seven Flowers and Seven Leaves" has become a taboo in the Bai family, and it seems that nothing has happened about "Seven Flowers and Seven Leaves", and all the previous tension is just an illusion.
The Bai family is as harmonious and quiet as ever.
If you ignore it, time will wear away the memory, and no matter how incomprehensible it is, with the blessing of time, it will gradually become less outstanding.
In this regard, Jing Wu didn't have time to delve into it, she followed the eldest lady every day for the past few days.
Originally, she thought that the eldest lady was going to teach her how to manage the backyard, after all, in Jing Wu's original cognition, managing the backyard was the main business of the eldest lady.
But in fact, this is impossible, after all, the management of the backyard can't fall on the daughter of a housekeeper, even if the eldest lady is gone after two years, there will naturally be a second lady, or even an old lady.
It was also in these few days that Jing Wu really realized what the eldest lady said about her "business".
That is, connections and loyal servants in all shadows!
After the death of the eldest lady, unless Uncle Bai remarries, the second lady is most likely in charge of the backyard, and Jing Wu is basically accompanying the eldest lady to contact the second lady these days.
After so many years, these concubines of the eldest lady more or less owe the favor of the eldest lady, in order to prevent people from going to the tea and cold, it is natural that someone must stand up and help maintain these friendships.
With the support of the ladies in the backyard, Jing Wu will be much cheaper in the future, after all, no matter how easy the flag of the Bai family's housekeeper is, it will be somewhat restrained in the backyard, and in fact, these should have been inherited by Bai Xianyu, but it is obvious that Bai Xianyu is not suitable.
In addition, the eldest lady has also taken Jing Wu to meet a few loyal servants in the shadows without a trace in the past few days, saying that they are the loyal servants of the eldest lady, but in fact, they are the eyeliner that the eldest lady buried everywhere. The eldest lady made it clear to them that Jing Wu would take over the previous responsibilities of Diancui.
In fact, the transition between these loyal servants and Jingwu should have been carried out by Diancui, so that there would be a balance between Diancui and Jingwu. But Diancui is dead, and the eldest lady only has two years left, rather than bothering to hastily cultivate another "Diancui", it is better to make a desperate bet and put all the pressure on Jingwu's body! After all, the Grand Lady is now left with no choice.
