Chapter 336: Old Things and Old Love
"You don't have to make it up to me, because it's ......" Bai Shao smiled and took out a sign from his waist and shook it in front of Zhao Hu's eyes.
That's a sign that all the stewards of Fukyong Hall will have.
The ordinary steward is white, the shopkeeper is yellow, and so on, the color gradually becomes richer, and when it comes to the owner, it is red.
And the palm of the white peony is just the only piece of red on the top and bottom of the Quanfujing Hall.
"This ......" Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and said to Bai Shaozuo, "Zhao Hu, the shopkeeper of Xieyang County, has seen the owner. ”
Bai Shao smiled and nodded to signal him to get up.
Zhao Hu straightened up, and then stammered excitedly and asked, "Is this...... White Second Girl...... No, it's the owner, the owner, I've seen the former owner, but now it's in the hands of the girl, the former owner...... She...... She ......"
"She's gone." Speaking of this, the smile on Bai Shao's face faded.
"Ah...... Yes. Zhao Hu still didn't understand it, but he could see the sorrow on Bai Shao's face clearly.
As a sleek shopkeeper, at this time, even if he was confused in his heart, Zhao Hu still closed his mouth in time and said with an apologetic smile, "Then I'll serve you food." ”
Saying that, he went to the back kitchen, urged him, and asked Xiao Zhao to cook for Bai Shao's table first.
This is good to have power, and even eat faster than others.
It didn't take long, the dishes were ready, and the Bai family and the Hou family ate happily.
Second Uncle Hou is heartless, no matter what happened just now, he had to persuade the Bai family to eat vegetables, and even had a good time with Bai Chuanbai.
However, Hou Yu and Uncle Hou looked at Bai Shao with some complicated eyes, and said in their hearts, they haven't seen each other for five years, and the little girl back then is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
The two families happily finished eating, Second Uncle Hou wanted to pay, how dare Zhao Hu accept the money from his friend, he hurriedly waved his hand, and was polite, and even called Second Uncle Hou a brother.
Because Second Uncle Hou was a little drunk, Uncle Hou and Hou Yu helped him to rest, and Bai Shao took his family and maid back to Baifu.
There are many things to do next, such as going to see the brocade, such as going to see the food for the sky, and taking a look at the land of Yunzhen.
At the beginning, he was in a hurry, Bai Shao gave the five acres of land at the foot of Fushan to the old man Bai, and the land in Izumo Town was leased out, and now it is counted, it should be enough to confiscate the rent for five years, and the amount of these silver coins may not be very much, but what should be collected still has to be collected.
After such a thing is arranged, there is no ten days that cannot be completed.
The so-called many things are not pressing, in this case, Bai Shao simply did not worry, and leisurely returned to his cabin and slept well.
Because he was in the carriage for more than 20 days in a row, he really didn't rest well, and now when he first touched the bed, Bai Shao really slept in the dark.
By the time I woke up, it was already the next morning.
Wu finished cooking and was asking Han Lian to come over and call her to get up.
"Miss, miss, Madame asked the slave to wake you up." Hanlian was dressed in fine cloth, gently pushed open the door of Bai Shao's house, and shouted softly to the inside.
"Got it." Bai Shao rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, pulled the bed curtain, and just wanted to get her clothes, she saw that Han Lian had already walked over with her clothes, ready to serve her to dress like she had done in the Zhenguo Mansion and the Imperial Palace. She smiled and waved her hand, took the clothes from Han Lian's hand, and put them on in three or two clicks, "This is Xieyang County, not Yanjing, not the Imperial Palace, it's not that complicated, you don't have to wait for me to get dressed." ”
As she spoke, Bai Shao brushed her hair with her hand and asked Han Lian again, "How is it, do you regret coming back with me?" Xieyang County is really not as good as Yanjing, oh, even the clothes you wear can't be satin. ”
In Xieyang County, that is, the young lady with a very high status and a very rich family wear silk, and ordinary maids cannot wear it at all.
In Yanjing, the ladies all wear more advanced silk clothes, ice silk clothes, etc., and the silk and satin are all worn by the maids.
The two are contrasted, and the difference is immediate.
"It's good, miss, Hexiang told me that I like this kind of place very much, and it is suitable for the elderly." Han Lian pursed her lips and smiled, "Besides, we have been serving Miss for so long, and we have long been used to being a maid, and we can't go back." ”
"Just don't regret it, don't worry, I will choose a good husband for you in the future, and I will definitely let you live this life peacefully......" Bai Shao sighed.
Rao is Hanlian killed people without blinking, and when she heard this kind of topic, she couldn't help blushing and rushed out of the door, "Miss, Madame has called for dinner, and the slave will go and bring you water......"
After the family finished breakfast, Bai Chuanbai, who had long been itchy, proposed to take a look at the family's land, as well as the two shops of Shiweitian and Jinse.
Bai Shao and the Wu family naturally would not object, so after letting a newly recruited cook wash the dishes, the six members of the family went out.
It was still Zhao Long who drove the car, Han Lian and Hexiang sat on both sides of the door, Bai Chuanbai sat in the innermost, and Wu and Bai Shao sat on both sides, all of whom lifted the small curtains of the carriage and looked out.
Because Jinse is close, the family went to see Jinse first.
Although there is no Zhang Yuniang, the best cloth in brocade has not been sold, and the money is not as good as before, but because it has accumulated a lot of reputation in recent years, it can still be regarded as one of the best embroidery villages in Xieyang County.
When Bai Shao walked in, a junior came forward to greet her with a smile, "Hello girl, what kind of cloth does the girl want to see?" The small one takes you there. ”
"I'd like to see your treasurer." Bai Shao said lightly.
Although the clothes she wore were not luxurious, and she did not wear particularly valuable jewelry, she had an indescribable extravagance all over her body, so that Xiao Er did not dare to underestimate it, and after arranging for Bai Shao and others to sit down, she went to the warehouse in a hurry and called the shopkeeper out.
Speaking of which, Jinse, an embroidery village, can also be regarded as an outlier in Xieyang County.
Because the shopkeepers in other shops are all men, only the brocade shopkeeper is a woman, about thirty years old, with a round face and phoenix eyes, a slightly plump figure, and a tiger-like style when she walks, quite a bit of momentum, which is specially selected by Bai Shao that year, and the most proud closed disciple of the Wu family - Feng Niang.
As soon as she appeared in the lobby, Feng Niang's expression was still a little faint, and she whispered that Xiao Er should not call her out casually, and after seeing the Wu family, she stayed in place, and the phoenix's eyes were round, and the boss shouted, "Madame......"
"Hey." The Wu family has also been trained in Yanjing in the past few years, and there is no cowering little family spirit on his body, and in the face of this lady, he responded very calmly, "Feng Niang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Master...... Master...... Feng Niang's eyes turned red, "Master, Master, you're back, when did you come back, did you just come back?" ”
"I came back yesterday, and I'm coming to see you today." Wu smiled and looked around the brocade lobby left and right, and sighed, "You have done a good job, the two storefronts of this shop have been expanded, and the harvest is getting better and better year by year, you have worked hard." ”
"It's not hard or not, it's just that the master handed over this shop to me, and I naturally want to run it well." Feng Niang wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and talked to Wu.
In the past five years, all the properties of the Bai family in Xieyang County, only Jinse was sent to Yanjing as scheduled, and in several other places, all the food for the sky was given to the Liu family and Old Man Bai, and the land rent has been confiscated.
Because there were still many things to do next, Wu and Feng Niang exchanged pleasantries for a while and left.
Feng Niang was a little reluctant to send Wu to the door, and when she learned that Wu didn't plan to leave this time, she burst into tears and let go of Wu's hand.
The family sat back in the carriage, where they couldn't help but sigh when they talked about the old people in Jinse.
"Mother, why didn't I see the second uncle?" Bai Shao raised her eyebrows and raised the question in her heart.
"Feng Niang told me, your second aunt is old and doesn't work anymore, as for Bai Ying's child, she is also married, and now it is the time to be pregnant, and she will definitely not be able to work. I heard Feng Niang say that Bai Ying's married family is not bad, and it is very close to Izumo Town, so we can't say that we will see it later. Wu said with a smile.
Bai Shao remembered Bai Ying's eyes every time she looked at herself, and couldn't help but bow her head and smile helplessly.
In this way, the family talked and chatted, and soon arrived at the gate of Izumo Town.
In five years, Jinse Xiuzhuang can expand two more stores in Xieyang County, where the competition is quite fierce, so it seems that it is not difficult to open two more branches for the sky.
Just waited for Han Lian to open the curtain of the car, Bai Shao stretched out her head, and after seeing the plaque that originally belonged to the food for the sky, the whole person was stunned on the spot. for a better user experience.
