Early in the morning of the Qingming Festival, the family of the Wenguo Mansion hurriedly got into the carriage and set off for the Guangming Temple.

Because this toss delayed the hour, it was close to noon when I arrived at the Guangming Temple, and the sacrifice was not carried out after noon, so I had to change the day to the early morning of the next day. Bai Zhenzhen was in her second sister's carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Bai Xingyan's carriage at the front, with a sarcastic expression. "The first time I heard that the day of worshipping the ancestors was changed back and forth, this has long been Zhang Luo Qingming to worship the ancestors, and the ancestors are waiting to send money, but it turned out to be Qingming

It's tomorrow again, isn't this a typical fool? ”

Bai Heran laughed, in the past, he always felt that the ancients were more convinced of ghosts and monsters than later generations, but the mouth of this fourth sister is really not a taboo, and everything is thrown out.

"Don't talk nonsense." She reminded Bai Zhenzhen, "It's someone else's business that others make mistakes, and it's someone else's business to be disrespectful." But for our ancestors, our attitude must first be correct. Bai Zhenzhen nodded, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji." After speaking, he leaned over to Bai Heran, lowered his voice and said, "Sister, my aunt said that although the housekeeper and the tent are from the Hong family, although they listen to her on the surface, they actually listen to you." My uncle when I came from the Red family

I also personally instructed that after the two of them arrived at the Guogong Mansion, everything was your order, they would do whatever you said, and they would fight wherever you pointed. The money on the account is available to you, and if it is not enough, say that the red family will send it to you immediately. ”

Bai He smiled, "What do I do with so much silver, my uncle has also given me a lot, and I can't spend all the flowers." Bai Zhenzhen shook her head, "Maybe you didn't have much use for it in the past, but I heard that you are going to open a medical center, and there are many places to use silver." The eldest uncle said that if the money is taken from the people, it will be used by the people, and the red family is rich enough to rival the country, so he is reluctant to give up a part, I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later. So he also wants me to mention to you that the Hong family has never been involved in the medicinal materials industry before, and now that he has such an opportunity, he wants to expand his business again, package two medicinal mountains to grow medicinal materials, and open two transportation lines to transport medicinal materials from all over the world to Beijing. In the future, your clinic will be able to do the same

Expanding outward, they were transported back and forth from place to place. This has come and gone, and the medicinal herb business has gradually grown. Bai Heran had to admire the mind of the Hong family, and a small medical hall could allow the master of the Hong family to plan the entire economic industry chain. She shook her head and smiled wryly. "My uncle's idea is good, but my hospital doesn't plan to make money, and it still focuses on free clinics. Yes, there is

The people who have money are normally counted as silver, and the poor people either only charge the cost or take nothing at all. In this way, not only will I not make any money, but I will definitely have to put a lot of money into it. "How else to say that it is taken from the people and taken from the people!" Bai Zhenzhen told her, "Uncle Zhen said that he was involved in the medicinal materials industry completely to cooperate with the second sister and your medical center, whether it is a transportation line or a medicine mountain, only take the cost, and do not make a penny." At the same time, in the upper capital, those you have verified

It was determined that it was the poor man's medical fee, and the red family covered it all. ”

"All-inclusive?" Bai Heran was really surprised, "That's not a small expense, all year round, can you keep it for nearly 10 million taels, and the Hong family is willing to give up so much silver?" "Of course I do." Bai Zhenzhen said with a little pride: "Didn't your uncle go to the free clinic that day, and after returning home, he summoned my second and third uncle's families to sit down and discuss this matter, and everyone agreed with his ideas." The eldest uncle initially only said that the medicine mountain and transportation were only costly, but the second uncle and the third uncle proposed together to contract the medical expenses of all the poor people in the upper capital. Sister, our Hong family is different from the Bai family, we know how to make money and how to spend money. This money is not distressed to spend in this kind of place, only if you are willing to give up on the right path, the future will

More prosperous. Besides, as I said before, the Hong family is so rich, if they don't give up some silver, I'm afraid they will be calculated sooner or later. Sister, you should help the Hong family, agree! "What reason does Hakuzuru have not to agree? Once a medical clinic in the name of free clinics is opened, a large number of poor people will come to their homes to seek medicine. At that time, not only will there be a shortage of manpower, but there will also be a shortage of medicinal materials. If the Hong family can charter two medicine mountains to grow medicine for her, it will really be a relief for her

worries.

Even if she doesn't give the supply and transportation of medicinal materials to the Hong family, there will be other people who take this opportunity to participate, and people will not only calculate the cost price for her, but she will also spend a lot of silver to buy medicine, and if she doesn't get it right, it will cause individual traders to raise the price of medicine, which is a bad thing to do with good intentions. If it can be handed over to the Hong family, with the Hong family's experience and means in business over the years and connections, there is no need for her to ask more, and the Hong family will handle these things. And with the wealth of the Hong family, it is very easy to completely control this series of industrial chains, so that outsiders can't plug in at all

Hands come. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to cooperate with the Red Family, and the Red Family will never let the other party take advantage of what it shouldn't take advantage of.

This is not that the Hong family opened her mouth to beg her, but that she should thank the Hong family for coming forward at this time and giving her so much help.

She looked at Bai Zhenzhen and said very sincerely: "When the ancestor comes back, you can tell my uncle for me, and I will come to the door in person another day to thank the uncles and aunts of the Hong family." Bai Zhenzhen laughed when she heard this, "Uncle is really a god, he told me before he returned home this morning, as soon as this matter is said, second sister, you will definitely say thank you to him." At that time, I didn't understand why you had to thank them in turn because it was the Red family who begged you for help

？ ”

She smiled too, "So have you figured it out now?" Vera nodded, "I understand now." If the Red family doesn't do this, others have to do it, and others must not do as well as the Red family. The Hong family took the initiative at this time to actually do the second sister a great favor, because looking at the entire Eastern Qin, only the richest man in the Hong family can afford to support this field, and it is also maintained

Maintain the cost of the medical consultation. If you let someone else do it, the other party can't afford to pay for it for a long time, and you have to use your brains to get some greasy out of it. ”

"It's smart." The white crane touched this sister's little head, "That's the truth." At this time, the Red family made such a request, not to open the back door to me and want this business, but to help me. ”

Bai Zhenzhen was very happy, with an excited face, "From then on, the Hong family will follow us to do things!" ”

She laughed, "Follow me, what are you mixing in?" "I can't be idle." Bai Zhenzhen's goal is very ambitious, "A huge Wenguo mansion, the title that my ancestors exchanged for their lives, and the family business that has prospered for generations, I must not watch it be destroyed in the hands of our father." That Bai Haochen is not the Bai family's species, this hereditary

No matter what, the title can't hit his head, I have to plan well for our Xuan'er, I learn more skills, whether it's kung fu or something else, I have to be able to help Xuan'er. Even if we can't defeat Bai Haochen, that bastard, we must not let Xuan'er be bullied. Bai Heran nodded, "Indeed, only Xuan'er is worthy of this title, so what is Bai Haochen." She patted Bai Zhenzhen's shoulder, "I'll stop when I come back this time, I'll teach you kung fu, if you're willing to learn some medical skills, you can usually follow me." But then again, a woman can't stay in her parents' house for the rest of her life, and you will get married sooner or later. I don't want you to have hatred and spend all day long on the hereditary title of Duke Wenguo, I teach you the skill, thinking that you will marry someone in the future, and you can live your life with this ability, not there

The in-laws were bullied. As for Xuan'er and this Wenguo Mansion, let's see, whether it is the Ye family or Bai Haochen and Bai Jinghong, they can't take advantage of it. Bai Zhenzhen pouted, "What's so good about marrying, if you don't choose a good one like your father, you will be on fire for the rest of your life." Besides, I am a concubine, and my fate has been predestined from the moment I was born. What's more, there is the Red family behind me, how could my father let me go easily,

If you don't make a good price and don't find a path that is beneficial to him, won't he be born in vain as a woman? When Bai Zhenzhen said this, her expression darkened, "Sister, I really don't want to be reconciled to such a fate, but since ancient times, marriage has been the words of my father's matchmaker, and if I don't obey, I am not filial, and it is a great rebellion, and this kind of thing is not even easy for the Hong family to interfere with." He has for my life

With absolute control, I have taken advantage of the arrogant and arrogant past few years, and I will have to bow to fate sooner or later. This is Bai Zhenzhen's helplessness and sorrow, and it is also the collective sorrow of the women of the feudal society ~ society. Not to mention the daughter of a courtier's family, even a royal princess, it is inevitable that she will marry far away and marry her relatives. In the ancient days of Moti, in the new millennium later, the children of the extended family had to face the same

of helplessness and unwillingness.

This is not a question of whether the times will develop or not, but a game between interests and human nature. As long as human beings exist, this game will be endless, and no one can change it.

However, she can't change the measurement and distribution of power in the background, but she can still try to change the people around her. It's just that if Bai Zhenzhen doesn't want to be controlled by the family, it is futile to rely on her external forces to implement it alone, and the most important thing is to rely on herself to fight for it.

Near noon, the Temple of Light arrived. The carriage stopped at the foot of the Guangming Mountain, and directly in front of it was the only way up the mountain with steps.

Today's Qingming, countless people choose to go to the Guangming Temple to pray for the ancestors, this mountain road leading to the cliff temple seems to be very crowded, and even people need to turn over each other to pass, and many people are squeezed to both sides of the steps, laborious to shuttle between the mountains and rocks. Bai Xingyan looked at the path in front of him, his eyes deepened......
