The return of the Hong clan should have been the thing that Bai Xingyan looked forward to the most, and even this so-called Qingming ancestor worship was also an idea that came up with in order to make the Hong clan come back. Otherwise, the Bai family has a small sacrifice in five years and a big sacrifice in ten years, and this year will neither catch up with five years nor make up enough for ten years, so it shouldn't be sacrificed at all.

But because Bai Haochen couldn't frame Bai He, but instead put himself in prison, Bai Xingyan had long lost the interest in worshipping his ancestors, and even the Hong family couldn't make him smile when he returned home. Now Hong Piaopiao doesn't care about Bai Xingyan's attitude towards her at all, the reason why she came back is that the matter of worshipping ancestors involves ancestors for a while, and she doesn't want to be talked about in this kind of matter. The second is that she also wants to come back to see what kind of demon moths the Ye family who returned to the house before her

。 In addition, there is another thing, which is to help the old lady and Bai He to take back the housekeeper power and financial power of the house. So when the Hong family and Bai Zhenzhen returned home, they also brought two subordinates from the Hong family. Both were men in their forties, one tall and one short, the tall one was dressed in brocade forging clothes and luxurious, and the short one was embroidered with silver silk in a long gown, carrying a long abacus in his hand, with a face

Astute. The Bai family didn't sleep much originally, and they all gathered in the front hall early in the morning to make sacrifices. The Hong family took Bai Zhenzhen to greet the old lady first, and then bowed to Bai Xingyan, and said lightly: "The master looks good, I want to come to the concubine is not in the mansion These days, the master has a good time."

Very good, so the concubine can rest assured, and when the sacrifice is over, the fourth lady and I will return it back, so as not to disturb the harmony between the master and the second lady. ”

Bai Xingyan was very puzzled, "How do you see that your country's face is good?" "Obviously the face is bloodless, the body is emaciated, and the life is about to be lost, how can you still live so well? Who's so good at it?

The Hong family looked at the Ye family, "The second lady has returned home, if the master is not having a good time, how dare he risk letting the second lady come back." ”

Bai Jinghong frowned, and then answered: "Mother went back to the house to treat her eyes. ”

Bai Zhenzhen was happy for a while, "Yo, mother, are you blind?" That's great. ”

Ye's is so angry that her liver hurts, what does it mean that she is blind and so good? Is there anyone who talks like that?

Bai Xingyan also frowned and reprimanded: "How do you speak?" ”

Bai Zhenzhen looked puzzled, "Isn't there a good saying that out of sight is pure, and now that my mother can't see it, isn't it completely pure?" This kind of realm is not begged for by ordinary people, and the mother must have accumulated great virtue, and God will give such a good return, which is really enviable. ”

Bai Jinghong gritted his teeth and said: "If the fourth sister thinks that this is a good thing, it is better to feel what it is like to feel completely clean." ”

Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand again and again, "No, no, I don't have that blessing, besides, I'm still so young, I haven't seen enough of the beautiful scenery in the world, how can I be willing to purify my heart early." It's not like my mother, who is old, and when she is pure, she is pure. Bai Jinghong was so angry that his heart trembled, and he wanted to theorize a few more words, but he was tightly held by Ye's hand. At this time, you can't regenerate right and wrong, originally because of Bai Haochen's matter, Bai Xingyan has already complained a lot about her mother and son, and now Bai Haochen is still in the yamen and has not come out, she is absolutely with Jinghong

There can be no more mistakes.

Bai Jinghong also knew this truth, so he had to reluctantly shut up and say more.

But Hong's followed up and asked: "Since it is to cure the eyes, is it to return after the eyes are cured?" ”

Bai Xingyan was upset for a while, and waved his big hand: "What is the return?" Where to go? One of you is the wife of the public media of your country, and the other is the concubine of the fair son of your country who brought in the door, since you have entered my Wenguo Mansion, there is no reason to leave. Hong blinked, "Can't go?" There are two more people to eat for nothing. The concubine heard that the Bai family didn't even have any money to eat, and now the whole house is eating vegetarian, I'm afraid that the silver used by Zhang Luo to worship the ancestors is all made up by sellers, and Mr. Funeral is still on credit, right? old

Have you ever thought about where we will make up for the extra expenses once we come back? When he said this, the funeral gentleman Zhang Dian happened to walk in, originally wanting to report to the old lady and Bai Xingyan about the preparation of the sacrificial items, and at the same time reminded that the ceremony would start in half an hour, and it could not be delayed any longer. But before this foot stepped into the front hall, I heard the Hong family talking about the Bai family

There is no money, and the money given to him is still on credit, and I can't help but panic. But isn't it, the Bai family really didn't give him the money, saying that it would be settled together after it was all over. He originally thought that it was impossible for such a big Guogong Mansion to not even get the twenty or thirty taels paid to him, so he didn't care too much. But now that it sounds like this, it doesn't seem like that at all! wen

The Guogong Mansion is really short of money! So Zhang Dian's topic was changed to asking Bai Xingyan for silver. He said: "Don't hide it from the grandfather of the country, there are rules for doing our business, and you can owe any silver, even red and white ceremonies." This ancestor worship is also a white thing, and the funeral silver must be knotted before the ceremony begins

Calculate it clearly, otherwise the ancestors will think that the younger generations are not doing well in the Yang world, and they will not live in peace. ”

This is terrifying, if you don't give silver, your ancestors will not be able to live, once this ancestor is not alive, can the living still live? Bai Xingyan is simply a lawsuit, and the asking price of the funeral industry is not low, what he is looking for is not a big funeral, he is just an ordinary nobody, and he is thirty taels when he opens his mouth, and he does not bargain. Those big funerals with heads and faces can easily cost hundreds or even hundreds of taels, he asked

I didn't dare to ask.

However, at the moment, the government is in a tight situation, and he really can't even take out thirty taels.

The Hong family looked at Bai Xingyan's cowardice, and was very angry in his heart. Why did you marry such a thing in the first place? If she had known that this Duke of Wen Guo could be wolf-hearted to such an extent, she would not have married into the Bai family no matter what she did back then.

It's a pity that the past is unbearable, and it's too late to look back. "You see, I can't even pay Mr. Funeral's money, how can the master support this big family?" The Hong clan said expressionlessly, and at the same time, his gaze was undisguised towards the Ye clan. Although the Ye family couldn't see it, Bai Xingyan and Bai Jinghong saw it in their eyes and hearts

I couldn't help but be even more angry. On the side, Lin twisted his body a few times, floated a few winks, and said: "How to raise it in the past, how to raise it in the future." Sister Hong is from the Bai family, and she still cares about what she does with the silver. The Hong family is rich and rivals the country, and some leaks from the fingers are enough for us to eat for a whole year, sir

Say yes? ”

Bai Xingyan nodded and glanced at Lin with appreciation. He just needs someone to say that first! The Hong family snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "The Hong family is rich, it's no problem to raise me, and it's no problem to raise my two children, but why raise you?" Or the lord is only one woman, and he is very dedicated and deep in love with me, then my red family will not have a white mansion

Issue. If Sister Lin is really dedicated to the master, it is better to take the initiative to leave the house and take the second lady and Sister Xiaoye with her! Don't worry, I won't treat your children badly, the Hong family's silver is enough for them to eat, drink and wear. Lin was choked, and he didn't know how to pick up the words later. The old lady glanced at Lin and said with disgust: "Some people's faces are as thick as a wall, while some people have no face at all. If you marry a woman and you can't afford to raise it, you have to let a woman support her husband's family, you

We can afford to lose this person, but we can't afford to lose my old body. If the Bai family is reduced to the point where they want to tell the woman's maiden family to raise them, then the old body would rather move out than the old lady of the Wenguo Mansion. Bai Heran also sat on the side, patiently listening to everyone's words, until the old lady said this, she opened her mouth faintly: "Father's life comes from grandmother, if you move out, how can your father, the Duke of Wenguo, still deserve it." Our Dongqin has always asked the world with benevolence and filial piety, but not yet

I heard that a family wanted to drive the old mother out of the house because of poverty, if the emperor knew about this, the hereditary knighthood father of Bacheng would also sit on the head. The Hong family also followed: "Yes, the old lady can't move, this family is the best for the old lady to treat the concubine, just treat the concubine well for so many old ladies, and then help me protect Xuan'er these days, even if the concubine herself doesn't eat, the old lady will have to eat first." "She

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xingyan again, "If the lord wants the Hong family to take out the silver to help the Duke of Linguo, it is not impossible, but there is a condition for the concubine." ”

Bai Xingyan's eyes lit up, no matter how sarcastic the Hong clan was before, but now that the other party had spit out and could take out the silver, his goal had been achieved. As for those who are not conditional, as long as there is silver, those are fine.

So he waved his hand angrily and said, "You say, my country's public will all agree." ”

Hong smiled, "Is the master right?" Do you need to ask the second lady? After all, the second lady is in charge of the family, if the lord agrees without asking for instructions, if the second lady thinks it is inappropriate, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? ”

Bai Xingyan felt very slapped in the face now, and couldn't help but snort, "When will it be the turn of a woman to call the shots in this family?" ”

Ye also hurriedly cooperated: "Everything about the concubine is the master's first, and the master is in charge of everything." ”

Hong nodded, "In that case, I'm relieved." After speaking, he waved outside the hall, "You two come in!" ”

Outside the front hall, the two who came with the Hong family and Bai Zhenzhen immediately walked in, first saluting the old lady, then saluting Bai Heran, and finally saluting Bai Xingyan.

choked Bai Xingyan again.

But he couldn't care about being angry anymore, and he wondered what these two were doing? What did the Red Clan bring them to the mansion for? Soon the Hong family gave him the answer: "Both of them are slaves of the Hong family, and after entering the Hong family, my eldest brother changed their names, one is called Hongxing and the other is called Hongyun." Hongxing, is the housekeeper of the Red Mansion, Hongyun is the tent of the Red Mansion, and today the concubine brought him over, just to tell the lord that he wants me to take the Hong's Wanguan family wealth back to the house, but from now on, Hongxing is the housekeeper of this Wenguo Mansion, and Hongyun is the account of the Wenguo Mansion. The house that I have built up with money must never fall into the hands of others again. As long as the lord nodded, I immediately

Filled with 5 million silver into the treasury of the Wenguo Mansion. "It's five million taels," Bai Xingyan gasped......
