Chapter Eighty-Six: Jujube Cake
At the beginning of May, all the long-term workers of the Bai family's salt mill were withdrawn, the salt mill changed hands, and Bai Jin also got the broken title deed on the same day.
Bai Jin personally went to the county government to complete the land deed, and the prefect saw her and the prince come to visit before, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off, and Bai Jin got the complete land deed in a cup of tea.
In the past, there was a question about the long-term workers in the salt mill, and it happened that Bai Jin heard those families say that there was a shortage of long-term workers in the family two days ago, so he asked them to insert themselves into the salt mills.
Bai Jin mentioned the price of salt in those salt mills, and the long-term labor and monthly silver in the salt mills were not bad, and those people were willing to do it.
Wei Yan knew about her house in Jingnan, and sent some newly bought servants and maids from her son a day in advance, and cleaned the whole house, Bai Jin hired a carriage to pick up Bai Qi and Luo's over.
In addition to expensive things such as clothes and jewelry, Bai Jin didn't let them bring the things next to her, she had already calculated everything like furniture, Wei Yan originally planned to move a set of pear wood furniture, but Bai Jin refused, she spent more than ten taels of silver to buy a set of sour branch wood, although it didn't look very luxurious, but it was strong and easy to use.
Bai Jin has already come to visit the house before, this house is a two-entry house with two layers inside and outside, and the main courtyard is a kind of courtyard house surrounded by houses on four sides. There are three main rooms, and there is an ear room on each side of the main house, which becomes three main and two ears, a total of five. On the outside, a barrier wall was added between the south gables of the east wing, and a hanging flower door was set up as a partition to set up four houses.
There is another open space in the inner and outer houses, paved with small bluestone bricks, the weeds before the gap have been cleaned up, the moss on the stone bricks has also been scraped clean, it looks very clean, there is a green elm tree on both sides, there is a marble stone table and stone bench under the tree, and there is a row of slender laurel on the side, which has now bloomed fine white flowers. In addition, several potted plants were placed in the garden, and small plants such as magnolias, bamboo, and shallots were planted.
Luo Shi was placed in the main house, and there were still two main rooms left on both sides, Bai Jin wanted to wait for Bai Shan to come back and choose together, so he moved into an ear room on the side first.
The maids sent by Wei Yan have all been selected, they are all more clever, and their hands and feet are quick, Bai Jin picked two good ones to serve Luo's living, and the rest were sent to the kitchen as rough maids in the outer courtyard or sent to the kitchen, and it was enough for Bai Jin to have Bai Ji by his side.
Bai Jin stayed in the mansion for a morning, talked to Luo's family, and asked about some things with the prince.
Because she suddenly agreed to marry the prince last time, she didn't tell Luo Shi in advance, Luo Shi was a little disliked, so she asked Bai Jin answered honestly one by one, and even said what they met in Pengcheng.
Only then did Rockwell know how much had happened during this time.
"You," Luo poked her in the head, "don't tell you anything." ”
Bai Jin smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't this afraid that A-Niang will worry, isn't it good to have the prince to protect Jin'er now?" ”
"I am worried that you agreed to this marriage," Luo didn't know if he was thinking too much, "After all, he is the prince of the world, and the three wives and four concubines in the future ......"
"Jin'er is also quite worried," Bai Jin smiled a little, "It's just that the high-ranking family of the Marquis Mansion in Jingnan wants to take a concubine in the next life, and I can't stop it, and many things still have to go with the flow." ”
She thought a lot about it, she was going to marry someone one day, and she couldn't guarantee that the person she married would only love one person.
Even if she doesn't have three wives and four concubines, she always has to look for flowers and willows, and the only thing she can do is to protect herself.
Does she like Wei Yan? She asked herself many times, but she didn't know how to answer, she couldn't love someone the same way she liked Yun Heliang at the beginning.
Just like she and Wei Yan said, both of them have their own secrets hidden in their hearts, and it is better to say that it is the marriage contract between the two of them, which is actually just an intrigue of interests, but it just happens that they are on the same side.
If his Hailing salt shop can be developed, Bai Jin is quite willing to help Wei Yan stabilize the economic lifeline of Jingnan.
Uncle Luo Chen heard that the Bai family had moved to a new house, and he set off that day and brought Luo Yaqi and Luo Yaqin to Jingnan City, and the carriage was already outside the door when it was a little later.
Luo Chen hadn't left Huicheng for twenty years, and when he arrived at the gate of Baifu, he still felt a little novel, and took his children to the mansion.
Compared with Luofu, Baifu is definitely not comparable, but the house is clean and generous, which makes people look very pleasing to the eye.
Bai Qi had already made a table of meals with the maid and waited, Luo Shi saw that his mother's family smiled and narrowed into a slit, and Bai Jin also saluted his uncle with Yaqi and Yaqin.
Luo Chen patted Bai Jin's shoulder and said, "Your uncle will make the decision for you in this marriage, you can rest assured that the people of the Jingnan Hou Mansion will not dare to underestimate you." ”
Luo Chen came here for this, after all, the Bai family was just a peasant family in Jingnan, but the former Dali Hou Luo's family was different, he was afraid that the people in the Hou Mansion in Jingnan would look down on his niece.
According to Bai Jin's appearance, which point is not worthy of the prince of the world?
Luo Yaqi and Luo Yaqin also sincerely said happy, especially Luo Yaqi's eyes were burning, he knew that he was coming to Baifu, so he specially asked the maid to bring the chessboard over, he saw a lot of ancient scores polished in four months, and engraved the chess game between Bai Jin and him back and forth several times, and his skills were quite sophisticated.
Luo Yaqin is the same, when she came, she also saw the purse she gave her that day hanging from Bai Jin's waist, and she also had a few words to say to her.
The brothers and sisters of the Luo family have always been generous and generous, and their hearts are not bad.
Bai Jin also knew, so he warmly entertained the three of them with Luo's, Bai Qi's cooking skills are good, and the people of the Luo family also love to eat, so they swept away the food after a game.
After dinner, Luo Yaqi had already prepared the chessboard and Luo Yaqin was also pulling Bai Jin to speak, when a maid from outside hurriedly came in and said, "Master, the prince is here." ”
Everyone was stunned, it was getting late at this time, and the prince still wanted to visit?
Luo Chen frowned slightly, could it be that the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion was worried that he would leave Huicheng for the first time......
When he was still quiet in his thoughts, he saw Wei Yan come in with a small box.
A sweet smell fills the air.
Bai Jin has always been moved by smell, and has already rushed to the side of the prince and said with a smile: "What did Your Highness bring here?" ”
The prince of Jingnan, who has always been known for his coldness, rubbed Bai Jin's head and showed a handsome smile: "When I came, I saw that a pastry shop was still open, and their red date soft cake was very delicious, so I bought some." ”
