Chapter 186: Becoming a Big Household
Regarding the matter of the Bai family in Shilipu, Bai Chuanbai was a little worried, but Bai Shao did not take it to heart.
She only had doubts about one thing - that is, why the Bai family suddenly had so much money.
From the perspective of their food and clothing, and the money for renting a house, it will cost at least five or six hundred taels of silver.
In just thirty days, he received five or six hundred taels of silver? Isn't that an exaggeration?
In order to get a little understanding of what was going on, Bai Shao took advantage of the time when everyone was talking, and quietly dragged Bai Ying, who could talk to her, to the backyard, brought her something delicious, and then began to inquire.
Bai Ying is just a child, of course she can't get in touch with these things, she only told Bai Shao what she heard - in fact, it's not that exaggerated, she only earned one or two hundred taels of silver in thirty days, and the money for renting a house is to find someone to advance in advance, just for the convenience of doing business.
Earn one or two hundred taels of silver in thirty days, and it's not that he has opened a shop, just just pouring some things back and forth, and making so much money, Bai Shao doesn't believe it, there must be something greasy in it.
However, she can't intervene in the hands of the Bai family, so she is ready to pay a little attention to it in the future.
After giving Bai Ying some food, she was going to send Bai Ying out.
At this moment, this cousin, who was only one year older than her, told her a shocking news - she saw the eldest aunt come out of the fourth uncle's house.
Maybe Bai Ying didn't understand these things very well, but Bai Shao clearly understood what it meant, and her eyes widened at the moment.
At the beginning, Qian's performance was too weird, although Bai Shao was a little suspicious, but there was no conclusive evidence, so he thought about it and gave up.
Now Bai Ying's words can be said to be almost the same as the evidence, Bai Shao was shocked, and quietly instructed Bai Ying to say two words, asking her to help her pay attention to the eldest aunt and the fourth uncle, but don't tell others, and tell her when I see her later.
Bai Ying liked this bold and smart cousin very much, and immediately agreed.
Then, everyone in the Bai family got up, and she also took advantage of the chaos to get into the shop from the backyard, and left Izumo Town behind everyone.
Bai Shao watched everyone in the Bai family leave, and there was a faint uneasiness in her heart.
But the rest of the Bai Shao family was more relieved - the Bai family of Shilipu moved to Xieyang County, and they had money, which meant that they would no longer disturb the life of the Bai Shao family.
The days that followed really fell into peace, Wu embroidered the clothes, and when Zhao Yueqian came over in two months, when she showed the light blue skirt in front of her, Bai Shao clearly saw the amazing color in her eyes.
Sure enough, she was very satisfied, and even the remaining four hundred taels of silver were delivered extremely happily.
Bai Shao is also very satisfied, Yan Shu, and Zhao Yueqian, these two people are mobile propaganda, just waiting for everyone to see that the clothes on their bodies are good-looking, ask a few words, and know that there is an embroidery village in Izumo Town that makes beautiful clothes, and her family's wealth is not rolling?
A piece of clothing costs 700 taels of silver, which is difficult for many people to bear, but the advantage is that the quality of the clothes is high, the style is good-looking, although it can't sell a piece in a month, but the income is enough.
By the time it was time for the Chinese New Year, Bai Shao's family had already sold three of these clothes and earned a full two thousand one hundred taels of silver.
After deducting a series of expenses from the food for the sky, only counting the net profit, he also earned a full eight hundred taels.
As for the cloth sold in the brocade shop, it only earns three or four hundred taels, which is obviously nothing compared to others.
On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to celebrate the money the family earned this year, and in order to celebrate Bai Yunshi and Bai Wei's birthday, Bai Peony almost broke his arm and made a cake.
Use a fluffy chicken cake without cream, but very rare for the Bai family, to celebrate the thirteenth birthday of his brother and sister.
Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi both liked it very much, but they didn't occupy the whole cake alone, but shared a piece per person, even Zhao Long.
Because everyone else in the shop went home for the New Year, only Zhao Long, because he was homeless, stayed in the Bai Mansion and celebrated the New Year with Bai Shao's family.
Wu's birthday gift to Bai Yunshi and Bai Wei is two new clothes, of course, Bai Shao's is indispensable, but the name is still a birthday gift for Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi.
Bai Chuanbai gave the two of them two hundred taels of silver tickets as their private money.
At the age of thirteen, he is already a little adult, and he should have his own private money.
Bai Shao's gifts were two little maids and two maids, which were the four people she specially selected when she went to Xieyang County to find someone's teeth.
The two little guys can take care of Bai Yunshi's daily life and can accompany him to practice martial arts.
The two maids can take care of Bai Wei, and when Bai Wei gets married in the future, it will be Bai Wei's big maid in marriage.
As for Bai Shao herself, she also picked two maids, both of whom are slightly older than their respective masters, one or two years older, mature and sensible, and have been trained by human teeth, they are all good at doing things, and everyone is not limited to whose maids they are.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Bai Shao proposed to go to Xieyang County to have a good look at the lanterns.
This year, the family made a lot of money, added a lot of land, and opened two more shops, and the days are getting more and more prosperous.
When the sky was a little gray, the family had eaten, and sat in the carriage that Bai Chuanbai specially picked up, Zhao Long and Bai Chuanbai sat outside to drive the horses, and the four of them sat in the carriage, holding the small hand-warming stove specially given to them by Uncle Hou, and went to Xieyang County with laughter and laughter all the way.
The people who work hard all year round can only have a good and happy time on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the 15th day of the first month.
Because he had never had the opportunity to come to Xieyang County to watch the lantern festival before, Bai Wei couldn't suppress his curiosity, and since he entered Xieyang County, he has been frequently opening the curtain of the carriage, and when he saw the dragon dance outside and the beautiful lanterns, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
When he walked to a place where the crowd was relatively dense, Bai Chuanbai lifted the curtain and stretched his head in, "I can't go, Zhao Huyuan and I will go and put the car down, and your mother will wait for us here." ”
"Okay." Wu answered, and got out of the carriage with the three children.
Although he had put on a thick cotton jacket in advance, and the three children had also put on a thick cloak, it was the season of the cold winter and the moon, and the cold was drilling into his body one after another, even if he had a small stove under his sleeve, it was not much use.
"It's cold, it's really cold, it's much colder than in our house......" Bai Wei stood in place, her cheeks kept shivering, and her mouth was a burst of white mist.
"Sister, if you're cold, let's go back to the carriage and sit?" Bai Shao asked deliberately.
Bai Wei immediately shook his head and said loudly, "No, no, there are so many beautiful lanterns, I still have to see them, and the riddle to guess, I also want to guess, I want to win a lantern back." ”
Bai Shao and Wu couldn't help but purse their lips and smile.
The maid named Hongliu next to Bai Wei said sharply, "As long as the lanterns in Xieyang County are beautiful enough, even if the big girl takes off this cloak, it won't be cold." ”
"As long as your mouth is strong, I'll give you a few lanterns later, and you can take off the cloak on your body." Bai Wei glanced at the red willow.
Because the Bai Shao family doesn't have so many strict rules, these maids get along with them quite comfortably, and there are often jokes like this, and as for the glaring of the big white girl, it is an extremely common thing.
So Hongliu not only didn't be afraid, but pursed her lips and laughed, "The slave said the wrong thing, the eldest girl can spare the slave." ”
At this time, Bai Chuanbai and Zhao Long both came over in the dark, and when Bai Wei saw this, he hurriedly ran over, pulled up Bai Chuanbai's sleeves, and said coquettishly, "Dad, I want a beautiful lantern, huh...... Shao'er and I want one by one, and we want to look good. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you." Bai Chuanbai has always been responsive to his daughter's needs, so he nodded very happily, and the family walked over to the crowded place.
Along the way, there are big red lanterns hanging everywhere, as well as people selling lanterns, guessing puzzles, and all kinds of snacks.
Bai Wei was very excited to look at all kinds of lanterns at first, but after a while, he was attracted by the sugar gourd, and he was reluctant to leave standing in front of the stall.
Wu smiled and took out a few pennies and bought a bunch for each of the three children.
Bai Wei happily pulled Bai Shao and cheered, the two little girls just held hands, while eating sugar gourds, while jumping forward, occasionally encountered a good-looking lamp, wanted to buy, but was told that they needed to guess the puzzle, not sell it separately.
This stumped Bai Shao's family. for a better user experience.
