Chapter 33: Robbery
"This ...... Miss Zhang hasn't married yet, let's let Xu Ran take a concubine first, and let the Zhang family know that I am afraid it will save their face. Liu Xuran said cautiously.
Feng pouted and said: "The Zhang family has long made up their minds to turn over our family, and this marriage should be a head lower than us." Lying in bed for so many days, the Zhang family just asked someone to send some things over, and the eldest lady Zhang has never come, obviously she looks down on our family, what if you take a concubine first? ”
Liu Xianneng thinks about it, no matter how arrogant the Zhang family is, it can't go anywhere, and if he doesn't marry his daughter, it's the Zhang family and not the Liu family, if he hadn't been engaged before, Liu Xianneng would prefer Liu Xuran to marry the daughter of the money shopkeeper in Yucheng.
"Since that's the case, then I'll let Steward Yu go to the Bai family to propose." Liu Xianneng rubbed his head and sat down.
Liu Xuran said in a low voice: "I asked the housekeeper to go there once before, it seems to be ...... Jin'er's sister disagreed. ”
"Disagree?" Liu Xianneng was slightly surprised, he had intended to make things difficult for the Bai family before, but now such a good opportunity was placed in front of the Bai family, and the Bai family did not agree.
"We don't want the ten taels of silver to be returned to the dowry, so can the Bai family refuse?" He didn't believe it.
Liu Xuran nodded and shouted, "Dad." ”
Although Liu Xianneng was angry, his eldest son had always been his favorite, and after a little thought, he gave Feng a look.
Feng Shi comprehended his mind and smiled slightly: "You can take care of your health in the courtyard, and if you want anything, the maids and servants in the courtyard will talk about it, and leave this matter to your father to worry about." ”
Hearing her mother say this, Liu Xuran had a number in her heart, and even felt that her feet were not so painful, and when her father and mother went out, she asked the little girl next to her to get wine, and she had to celebrate well today.
Feng put his hands on his abdomen and followed Liu Xianneng out of the courtyard, and when he walked to the bridge of the Huxin Pavilion, Feng said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Bai family with Steward Yu, and I can always agree to it." ”
"No need," Liu Xianneng waved his sleeves and said, "It's just to take a concubine, and letting the Chen family go is already very face-saving for the Bai family, and when you bring more people over in the afternoon, the girl from the Bai family will have to agree if she doesn't agree." ”
The Chen family is the second aunt of the Liu Mansion, and after hearing this, the Feng family nodded and said, "Yes, the concubine will go to the Chen family to talk to her about it in a while." ”
Liu Xianneng sneered, except for the Jingnan Hou Mansion in Jingnan City, the Liu family really wasn't afraid.
The little guy in Yanfang came to report that Ning Tonghua had gone to Jingnan City, Bai Jin nodded, she knew that Ning Tonghua had his own affairs, as long as he took care of the rest of the time in Yanfang, what did he want to do Bai Jin would not stop.
Putting down the brush in his hand, Luo brought her a bowl of pear soup: "Bai Qi has just boiled pear soup, you can rest for a while and taste it." ”
"Thank you, mother." Bai Jin took it with a smile and took a sip, it was very sweet and delicious.
Bai Ji is the maid she bought two days ago, and now the living conditions at home are gradually improving, Bai Jin carefully replaced all the furniture at home with a new set, and then invited a maid to help Luo's at home.
Originally, Luo's wanted to renovate the house, but Bai Jin did not plan to live in Huangyan Village for a long time, and after buying a shop in Jingnan City, he could rent a small courtyard in Jingnan City.
Since the rice in the rice field was harvested last month, Bai Jin persuaded Luo's to quit the field, and the rice that had been planted for a few months was not as much as the land rent, but she went to the city to sell a few orchids to plant, and when she grew up, she could sell a lot of silver.
Luo's couldn't read and didn't know what Bai Jin was writing, so he just looked at the small characters written on Bai Jin's ledger.
Bai Jin suddenly remembered that he should have been illiterate before, anyway, Bai Shan was not there, Bai Jin was talking nonsense about some small marks on these knowledge books, and Luo Shi didn't doubt it and just said: "Don't sit all the time, it's not good for your body." ”
She remembered that she had been sitting for two hours since lunch, and found that her back was a little sore and her feet were numb, so she quickly jumped down from the soft collapse and stretched.
"You girl." Luo sat on the edge of the soft collapse and said, "It's always exhausting if you go on like this." ”
Bai Jin smiled warmly in his heart and said, "What A-Niang said is that Jin'er is just too busy these days, and she will pay attention to it later." ”
When has she been empty, it seems that since the opening of the salt mill, Bai Jin and Bai Shan have been working hard, since Bai Shan went to the academy, Ning Tonghua doesn't look at it very much, and it seems that Bai Jin is worried about all these things.
said that she would pay attention, when did she look at the girl and pay attention, she couldn't watch her daughter's body get worse day by day, right?
Bai Jin's body is not as bad as she thought, she sits for a long time, and she has a lot of time to move, often running at home and on both sides of the salt mill.
"A few days ago, your Aunt Li next door told you about a family matter, it seems that it is the Wang family in the next village, and there is also a salt mill at home, I want to ask you if you want to go and see it." Luo remembered and said.
Suddenly talking about this matter, she almost made Bai Jin, who was doing stretching movements, twist her waist, and she smiled: "Mother, my daughter hasn't thought about getting married yet, and besides, Yanfang is so busy, where do I have this time." ”
"But you can't help but get married," Luo sighed, "the daughter of Aunt Li of the family next door to you is already the mother of two children at this age." ”
Her age is indeed not young, but after experiencing the previous life, Bai Jindu is about to marry more people and have a psychological shadow, she has already made up her mind, if she can really not marry in this life, what's wrong with being an independent rich woman?
Let them get love, and she, get the silver.
But she didn't dare to say this to Luo's family, she could only use it to look perfunctory, and Luo's also knew that she had no mind at all, and this matter was just mentioned.
After gossiping with Luo's for a while, Bai Jin picked up the pen and continued to write.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, Bai Jin raised his eyebrows, who would be coming at this time?
Opening the window on the side, Bai Jin looked outside at a young woman with a slave dressed in black.
Neither did Rock's.
Afraid that it was someone who came to find Ning Tonghua, Bai Jin could only call Bai Qi to open the door, and she also closed the account book and put it aside.
As she had done this, the woman had already come in with the men, and a chaise longue, and sat down with a flick of her sleeves and said, "Which of you is Bai Jin?" ”
It didn't seem to be Ning Tonghua's person, Bai Jin smacked his tongue and said, "I am, what's wrong?" ”
"It's you," the woman fumbled with the newly dyed nails on her hands, "I'm the aunt of the Liu family, and our lord specially wants to invite you to Jingnan City." ”
