Chapter 61: Killing You with Money
Bai Xingyan has not been to the court for several days, and he can't help but go today.
After Bai Heran accompanied the old lady to breakfast, he took the old lady for a walk in the house, from Jinrong Courtyard all the way to the front yard, the grandfather and grandson talked and laughed, and the people who passed by and saw this scene felt very novel, after all, the old lady had not simply come out and walked around like this for a long time.
In the past, she didn't want to meet people she didn't want to meet, so since Bai Heran was forcibly sent to Los Angeles three years ago, she rarely went out, unless it was a New Year's holiday, and she had to give Bai Xingyan face and the family sat down to eat together, otherwise she stayed in Jinrong Courtyard, and if she couldn't come out, she wouldn't come out.
But Bai Heran just told her that walking around more is good for her body, and she has undergone acupuncture conditioning in the past few days, and she really feels that her body and bones are much better.
And the most important thing is that when she was persuaded to come out just now, Bai Heran said that this is the Bai family, their home, and if they repeatedly back down, it will be equivalent to giving up this Wenguo Mansion to others. It's their business to take it, at least we can't take the initiative to give.
The old lady felt that her granddaughter was right, children who have been sick for so many years can be strong, why can't she set an example?
With such a mood, the old lady once again walked in the Wenguo Mansion as the master, and seemed to really find some of the feelings when the old Guogong was alive. Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, the once glorious and harmonious Wenguo Mansion has now become such a situation.
When the lady heard that the old lady was in the front yard, she also followed. Ye and Bai Jinghong arrived first, and Bai Huayan also came with her.
Seeing Bai Heran walking in a circle in the front yard with the old lady, Ye quietly gave Bai Jinghong a look, and Bai Jinghong immediately understood what his mother meant. So he adjusted his smile and stretched out his hand to the old lady: "Grandmother, let Jinghong come and support you!" ”
The old lady looked at her, and saw that the injured place on her forehead had been blocked by a pearl forehead ornament, and she was still in a charming posture, still radiant. But she didn't like this kind of light, because it was full of calculation and malice.
"No need, you just fell, and your injuries are not healed, take care of yourself! It's good to have a good old body to be supported by Ah Ran. The old lady dodged Bai Jinghong's hand, and Bai Jinghong made a faceless fuss. Bai Huayan, who was standing beside Ye's side, was already annoyed because of the previous injury to Bai Jinghong, and now when she saw that the old lady didn't give Bai Jinghong face, she felt that her opportunity to perform had arrived. So he opened his mouth to shout for Bai Jinghong: "The eldest sister also wants to do her filial piety in front of her grandmother,
How could a grandmother be so kind? ”
There was a burst of "giggles" not far away, and then someone spoke: "Miss Fifth is still a child in the end, and she only says innocent things that children can say, and she can't even figure out what filial piety is all about!" ”
This kind of typical giggling, and unscrupulous squeeze, except for the aunt Hong's family, there is no second one in the entire Wenguo Mansion. Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, they saw the Hong clan walking towards this side happily with Bai Zhenzhen. The two of them had too many jewels on them, and they clanged when they walked, and they were almost crazy with jealousy. But Bai Zhenzhen still said as she walked: "Although the fifth sister is young, she is still in the end
A girl in her early tens, why is she still so quiet? Didn't your mother buy you a few sets of clothes that you wear on weekdays that are not ashamed? ”
After speaking, he paused, and then smiled again: "Ouch, I forgot, you don't follow your mother now, and you are back with your aunt." Aunt Xiao Ye doesn't have anything good to give you, but didn't my mother prepare some in the past? The Ye family gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally appeased Bai Huayan, and this Bai Zhenzhen began to stir up trouble again. So he hurriedly took over the words: "In the past, Huayan was still a child, and a woman was only ten years old, so she couldn't do those things, and it would be a blessing." It's enough to be old now, wait
After my birthday banquet, it's time to add more flowers. ”
Bai Huayan hurriedly said sweetly: "Thank you mother, I know that my mother treats Huayan best." After speaking, he also added a sentence to Hong's: "Since Aunt Hong said that the eldest sister is not filial piety, then you have to say, what is filial piety?" The Hong clan stepped forward, stood still in front of the old lady, and together with Bai Zhenzhen, respectfully saluted the old lady and said hello. Only then did he speak: "If you really want to be filial, you have to come up with something practical." She looked at the old lady: "I heard that the second lady has been helping the old lady to recuperate recently, but the concubine doesn't know medical science, and she can't help much." However, since it is recuperation, it must need supplements. So the concubine sent a message to her mother's family yesterday, and early this morning, her mother's family sent someone to send twenty boxes of blood swallows and two five-hundred-year-old ginseng. The concubine has already been sent to the old lady's house, two
Miss look at it, let's use it, it's not enough for me to ask my mother's family again. In addition, the mother's family also sent 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and the concubine body was also sent over. ”
Bai Zhenzhen nodded at Bai Huayan, "See it, this is called filial piety, don't always fix those empty things all day long." ”
Bai Huayan jumped angrily and scolded loudly: "I'm bah! Proud of what? Isn't it just relying on my mother's family! ”
The Hong family was not angry, and agreed very happily: "Yes, it depends on my mother's family." No way, who made my mother's family rich! Bai Huayan was so blocked that she had nothing to say, and the Ye family took over the words: "Filial piety to the old lady is what we juniors should do, when it comes to the birthday banquet, whether it is the Ye family or the aunt in the palace, they will send things over, and I have already made plans, and I will naturally be filial to the old when the time comes."
Madame's. ”
Bai Heran, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said "Huh", "Isn't this the case in previous years?" Mother has to hold a birthday banquet every year, hasn't she ever honored the old lady before? ”
Ye Shi paused, looking embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Bai Jinghong took over the words: "Filial piety doesn't have to be on a specific day, my mother has always been thinking about my grandmother on weekdays, and I also sent an ice jade mat last summer, which was originally sent by the Ye family to my mother, but my mother didn't give it to my grandmother." ”
"Oh." Hakuzuru nodded, "That's pretty good." Then since there is filial piety on weekdays, there should be no need to rush to carry the birthday gifts to Jinrong Courtyard at such a time as the birthday banquet, otherwise I will think that my grandmother wants to take advantage of those birthday gifts! ”
The old lady also nodded, "That's right, those are all gifts you received, and the old man will not ask for them anyway." I haven't asked for it before, and I won't want it in the future. "In fact, in this way, my mother's wealth should not be much worse than that of Aunt Hong." Bai Heran pinched his fingers and calculated an account for Ye's family, "I have been married to my father for ten years, and I will hold a birthday banquet every year. Mother received
There are countless birthday gifts, and there is the face of the Wenguo Mansion and the Queen Mother of the Dynasty, and no gift can be too cold. This gift is ten years after receiving it, and the wealth is heavenly! ”
Ye shook his head, vaguely feeling a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Bai Heran's next words went straight to the point: "In order to be worthy of my mother's identity, in order to be worthy of this expensive gift, our Wenguo Mansion also pays for birthday celebrations, and the silver taels spent on this every year must probably have ......" She looked at the Hong family.
The Hong clan immediately said, "At least 100,000 taels." "A woman from a merchant family has a natural acuity for money.
"Yo, at least 100,000 taels, that's 1 million taels in ten years, which is still the least." Bai Heran asked Ye, "Is this money from my mother herself?" ”
Ye didn't wait for a conversation, Bai Huayan rushed to the front again: "How can it be that the mother comes out by herself, the mother is the housewife in our house, and the housewife celebrates her birthday, of course, the house will pay the money to do it." ”
"That's it!" Bai Heran nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out that in the past ten years, the Wenguo Mansion has given more than one million taels of silver to hold a birthday banquet for the housewife, but the birthday gift received by the housewife seems to have never been handed over to the princess. ”
Bai Jinghong pursed his lips and frowned, he was too panicked not to speak, so he couldn't help but say, "How do you know that you haven't handed in a single article?" Moreover, the middle feed in the house has always been in the control of the mother, how to use and how to fill it, how can it not be the turn of a junior to dictate. ”
Bai Heran smiled, "It's really funny, it's just chattering, when did I ever point fingers?" Did you see or hear? ”
"I ......" Bai Jinghong was speechless, and held back a sentence for a long time: "That's what you mean in and out of your words." ”
"Big sister, why did you kill me?" Suddenly, Bai Heran uttered such a sentence, and he looked terrified, "How did I offend you, as for letting you kill me?" ”
Bai Jinghong was stunned, not only she was stunned, but everyone present was stunned.
Where do you start?
"I ...... When did you hear me say I'm going to kill you? ”
Bai Crane spread his hands, "That's what you mean when you say it!" "You ......" The words she just said were countered by others, Bai Jinghong felt that she was becoming less and less confident in the face of Bai Heran, and her was dumbfounded with a fluttering word, which was not an opponent at all. She began to worry about the future, this Wen Guogong
House, for her, has begun to move from light to darkness.
Bai Zhenzhen smiled very unimpressively, leaning forward and back, because the movement was too big, a string of white jade inlaid pearl gems on her head fell down, landed on the blue brick ground, and shattered with a bang.
Bai Huayan subconsciously said "ah", and even Bai Jinghong looked at the ground. Mama Li, who was following the old lady, hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, but because the material was jade, it fell to pieces this time, and she couldn't pick it up completely.
Mama Li kept sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this thing ...... Extraordinarily valuable, right? ”
Bai Zhenzhen thought for a while and said: "It's not very valuable, it seems to be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's okay, it's okay, it's falling, anyway, I've been wearing it for more than a year, it's not rare, and I'll play with it when I go back and wear it better." ”
The three of the Ye family listened to it and their hearts twitched, tens of thousands of taels of things are still not very valuable? How rich is this red family?
Ye's eyes were faintly red, and she swore that whether it was the Bai family or the Hong family, she would make them her own sooner or later! Hong's instructed his subordinates to sweep the things, and said very generously: "Although it is broken, it is still a good thing after all, go back and let the housekeeper take the fragments and pearls and gems out to sell them, and the silver taels obtained will rush into the public middle school!" These are worth more than 10,000 taels, and they can be spent for one
Burst. ”
Ye's heart twitched again, and he was once again sad for the Ye family's weakness in money. At this time, someone from the porter came to report: "There is someone from the palace......
