Chapter 171: Outsiders' bones and blood, the Bai family can't raise it in vain
The maid's words made Bai Jinghong very desperate, but also embarrassed Bai Xingyan, and made the old lady very emotional.
"The dignified Guogong Mansion doesn't even have the money to make snacks, it's a big joke to say." The old lady threw out such a sentence, and at the same time cast a fierce gaze on Bai Jinghong. Since the Ye family mastered the feed, even her Jinrong Courtyard had to be halved, and she had not made new head and face jewelry for several years, so she had almost stopped attending all kinds of banquets in the capital city over the years, because she had no decent clothes, which was really embarrassing. If not
With the Hong family by her side, I'm afraid it's hard for her to maintain even the most basic face.
But Ye didn't owe anyone to her daughter Bai Jinghong, this Bai Jinghong is beautiful and luxurious from head to toe, it is simply piled up with gold and jade, and anything on the head and body is not ordinary, and any hairpin is worth a fortune.
She still remembers that at a palace banquet many years ago, her daughter Concubine Kang Niangniang once looked at Bai Jinghong and said jealously: "Jinghong's clothes are unaffordable in this palace, and the eldest brother is really willing to spend money on her." Bai Jinghong felt that the old lady's gaze was not good, and immediately put on a timid appearance and shrank behind Bai Xingyan. Bai Xingyan was unhappy, and was about to reason with the old lady, when the maid Tianlan, who came back from the kitchen, hesitated and said, "The steward at the other end of the kitchen said, let's go to the house."
The only remaining grain and vegetables in the city can only last for three days. If you can't get the money within three days, I'm afraid it will be ...... I'm afraid that the house will run out of food. The more Bai Xingyan listened, the more depressed he became, the old lady snorted coldly and reminded: "Did you hear it?" You are the head of the family, if you can't even solve the problem of eating for the family, the old man can only take his grandchildren to the street to ask for food. Or we can also live in Xingwu Mansion, just this
If so, do you, the Duke of Wenguo, still have the face to be in charge? ”
Bai Jinghong was taken aback when he heard this, if the title of Duke Wenguo was replaced, what kind of concubine was she? What's the point of her staying here? In the past ten years, haven't the plans of the Ye family, his mother and brother all come to naught? She really didn't dare to think about it anymore, and at this time, Bai Heran, who was busy treating the people, had a new move. I saw her touch a silver ticket from her sleeve and hand it to a Baifu maid who stepped forward to help: "You go find the nearest restaurant and dim sum shop, and let them send some simple food."
Come here, snacks or flatbread or something, and bring some hot soup or something, so that the people outside can wash their stomachs. But remember, tea won't work. In short, it should be fast, the ingredients should be simple, not too delicate, and no precious ingredients should be required, as long as they are clean and delicious. ”
The little maid was flattered, nodded quickly, took the silver ticket and hurried away.
Bai Jinghong's mind moved, and he also wanted to follow suit, but he was quietly pulled by the maid Tianlan, who had returned to his side, and then shook his head slightly at her, and whispered: "Miss can't be too rich, otherwise some people will think that Miss is hiding her secrets." ”
Bai Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Yes, you can't show your wealth, otherwise the old lady will say that she is hiding private money, and even her father will have thoughts about her. After all, the three hundred taels she took out when she repaired the mansion gate last time she said that she got it as jewelry, and this time she couldn't learn from Bai He's dyeing and directly show the silver ticket. So she changed her method, raised her hand to take out a beaded flower from her head and handed it to Tianlan, and said in front of the old lady and Bai Xingyan: "Although I am not as rich as my second sister, I can take out a large amount of silver tickets at will, but fortunately, I still have a few pieces of jewelry on my body." Go and take this pearl flower, gotcha
All the money that came was used to buy food for the people who came to seek medical treatment. ”
Tianlan immediately responded, picked up Zhuhua and left quickly. Bai Xingyan immediately sighed: "Mother, can you see it? This is the daughter of my Bai family. Not to mention today's events, it was the door of the mansion a few days ago, which was also repaired by Jinghong as a silver ticket in exchange for jewelry. You only see Jinghong wearing gold and jade, but the things on her body can be willing to be used by me, a father, when I need it, I am willing to take it out and exchange it for silver. But what about the granddaughter of your mother, your darling? can take out a large amount of silver tickets at will, but she is so generous to outsiders, but she is reluctant to use it at home. She burned the door of the house and asked Jinghong to repair it, this is your precious granddaughter
Something out of the matter! The old lady snorted coldly, she was completely desperate for this son, and even stopped treating him as her own son in her heart. So no matter how Bai Xingyan talks to her, she will no longer be as angry as before, she just tells the other party a fact: "The surname is bone and blood, and the Bai family is raised."
After so many years, it's time to repay her. What's more, none of the things she was wearing were bought with my Bai family's silver. ”
"You-" Bai Xingyan was dumbfounded, and the sentence "foreign surname bone blood" made him completely speechless.
Bai Jinghong saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly pulled Bai Xingyan and whispered comfort: "Father, don't be angry, grandmother is grandmother after all." That being said, I have scolded the old lady a thousand times in my heart.
After a while, Mo Yu came with Xia Yangqiu. With a flattering smile on his face, he ran to Bai Heran without caring about his image at all, "Thank you Princess, as soon as there is such a good thing, you will be the first to think of me." ”
Bai Heran was also very helpless about his old naughty boy's temperament, "It's not entirely a good thing, and it's not an opportunity to give you for nothing." She reminded the other party: "What I want is to sell a large number of medicinal materials at the cost price of your National Medical Hall." ”
"How about I give up another 20% of the cost price?"
"Deal!"
"But......" Xia Yangqiu glanced at the people in line, then looked at the recipes dyed by the white crane, and shook his head helplessly, "But even if you let two percent more, they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it." ”
The white crane dye hooked the corners of his lips, "Then you think about giving it away for free?" ”
Xia Yangqiu's head shook like a drum, "It's unrealistic, send one or two lines, ten or eight can grit your teeth." But so many people don't say that they will send them all, they will send one-tenth of them, and the old Chinese medical hall will go out of business. No, no, I can't afford to send it. ”
Bai Heran nodded, she knew that this was the truth, "So, who should pay for the silver with a discount of 20% at the cost price depends on our wisdom." ”
As he was talking, someone came again. Xia Yangqiu reminded her: "It's Lord Yin Han from the upper capital. ”
Bai Heran nodded, although she had never seen this Lord Yin, but she came with Yingchun, and she was wearing an official uniform, so she could guess the identity.
On the other end, Bai Xingyan saw that Shangdu Mansion Yin was coming, so he had to step forward to greet him.
So he stepped forward quickly, and took the initiative to greet him from a distance: "Lord Han, what wind blew you here?" "The person who came was Yin Han Tiangang of Shangdu Prefecture, this should be said that in the past, Wen Guogong Bai Xingyan took the initiative to greet him, and he would feel a little embarrassed. Not to mention Bai Xingyan's popularity in the court, at least there is a niece of the Queen Mother at home, he is a small one
The small Fu Yin is the official position of the second grade, and in any case, he is half a short in front of the Duke of Wenguo. But today is different from the past, he has long heard that the real Miss Yan of the Wenguo Mansion has returned to Beijing, not only has her temperament changed greatly, but she has also engaged to His Royal Highness the Tenth. The most important thing is that this young lady does not have a good relationship with her father, and even less with that stepmother. Ten halls
In order to support his future daughter-in-law, he didn't find much trouble with Wen Guogong.
This concept is different, being close to Wen Guogong is equivalent to offending His Royal Highness Shi, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the existence of His Royal Highness Ten cannot afford to offend, so he even repels this Gong Wenguo.
Seeing Bai Xingyan greet him now, Han Tiangang's mind quickly turned around, and then he replied: "Yo, Grandpa Guo looks very idle!" The princess is so busy, why don't you say that you can help? ”
How can anyone who can serve in Beijing have a fuel-efficient lamp, in a word, he directly expressed his close position to Bai Heran, and even directly stood in an opposing position with Bai Xingyan.
Bai Xingyan was bored and embarrassed, but he saw that Han Tiangang walked quickly in front of Bai Heran, waved his hand and gave a deep salute, and said loudly: "The lower official greets the princess." ”
He's so angry, he hasn't married yet, why does anyone see that cheap girl screaming like a princess? Are there any rules?
But he only dared to slander these words, but he never dared to say them. The Ten Princes' Demon King of the Mixed World is very rare to be called this kind of name, if you let the other party know that he is not happy to be a father, you may not know how to clean him up. I can't afford to provoke it, I really can't afford to provoke it.
Bai Heran saw that this Fu Yin came in an official robe, so he also stood up and replied with a formal salute: "Lord Han is polite, this time I took the liberty to ask the adult for help, but I didn't expect the adult to come in person, it can be seen that the adult loves the people like a son, which is really a blessing in the capital." ”
Han Tiangang was very excited, he was the Yin of the Mansion, the parent official of the upper capital, and the person in front of him was the future concubine of the Ten Princes, he could get such high praise from the future princess, this is a major event worthy of being written into the family tree! So he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the princess, the lower officials will fully cooperate with the princess." After that, he half-turned around and beckoned, and called a person brought behind him forward, "This is Master Sun in the yamen, and the household registration of the people in the capital city is under his control on weekdays, and the people are poor."
Rich, Master Sun knows it in his heart, and he will definitely be able to do the things that the princess explains. ”
That Master Sun also followed closely and said: "When the Yingchun girl arrived at the mansion, she had already explained the matter in general, and she came with the household registration officer, and she was ready to be sent by the princess at any time. ”
Bai Heran nodded, "In this way, there will be Master Laosun and a few officials." ”
Master Sun hurriedly said: "It should be, this is all as it should be." "Han Tiangang is very excited, if he can do something for Bai Heran, it is equivalent to doing things for His Highness the Ten, if this thing is done beautifully, and when he looks back and mentions it a little in front of His Highness Shi, won't he have the opportunity to become a person of His Highness Shi? He had never dreamed of being divided into ten halls
In the next team! Thinking of this, he became even more energetic, so he turned to look at the team that could not see the end at a glance, raised his voice and began to fulfill the obligations of the party governor-
