Chapter 52: Becoming Poor

Bai Haohong thought of Wang Bao, so he asked, "By the way, Brother Zhan, do you know that Wang Bao has a son?" ”

"Well, I've heard that. His wife died in childbirth, and he had an only son, and Wang Bao did not remarry later, so he was such an only son. How do you ask this? ”

Bai Haohong briefly recounted the scene he saw when he followed Wang Bao that day, and while he was talking, Wang Xi walked in with Li Fengling's master and servant, Bai Haohong thought to himself: "Why is she here again?" ”

I heard Wang Xi flattering: "The daughter of the Prime Minister is different!" When you wear jewelry, you look extravagant; I didn't wear any of them today, and I look plain and ......."

Bai Haohong glared at Wang Xi, Wang Xi hurriedly closed his mouth and exited the head-catching room.

Bai Haohong looked at Li Fengling and asked jokingly, "Miss Li, did you meet robbers on the road?" All the jewelry was snatched away? ”

"With the white guards here, how can there be robbers in the capital?!" Then, Li Fengling said with some sadness: "All my jewelry was sold by my father. ”

Hearing Li Fengling say this, Bai Haohong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Has your family been buying land recently?" ”

Li Fengling shook his head and replied: "A year ago, my father went back to his hometown and bought a large piece of land, and he should not buy any more land, he must have used the money to help the poor." All those jewels were left to me by my dead mother. ”

Yahuan Cuicui also complained: "The master is too ruthless, he didn't leave a piece of jewelry for the girl, and even the girl's favorite hosta was taken, which the old lady gave to the girl before she died." The old man is really, he doesn't think about the girl at all, he only has the people in his heart......"

Bai Haohong didn't want to listen to nonsense, so he said to Zhan Xue: "Zhan Xue, you take Lizi outside." ”

Zhan Peng didn't want to stay in the head-catching room, so he made an excuse, and the three of them went out of the head-catching room together.

After everyone left, Li Fengling asked, "Is that girl just now the righteous sister of the white guard?" ”

"Yes."

"I have long heard that the righteous sister of the white guard is pure, lovely, brilliant and charming, and it is true when I see it today."

Li Fengling's words came from the heart, because she had seen a lot of ladies and actresses, and almost all of them had the same expressions. Of course, except for Xiang Yamin, that person is arrogant and annoying. Liz is different, her soft, bright smile makes people feel happy, and this warm temperament can move people's hearts more than her peerless appearance. Li Fengling understood at this time: with the righteous sister of the white guard, there was absolutely no hope for him.

Bai Haohong replied: "It's over." Miss Li, did you think of any clues when you came here today? ”

"No, my father asked me to ask about the progress of the case. My father said: Only by urging more, Dali Temple will pay attention to this case, and the speed of handling the case will be faster. ”

Hearing this, Bai Haohong was greatly displeased, so he said: "As soon as Lord Yu took over the case, he immediately sent someone to Maru County to investigate, and there was no delay for a moment. Moreover, Dali Temple has always attached great importance to the champion case, put it in the first place, and has never relaxed. No matter how many times we urge it, we can only deal with it step by step, and it can't be faster. ”

"So, why did Bai Guard go back to his hometown at the critical juncture of handling the case?"

"That's a trick! Actually, I will secretly go to Maru County tomorrow to re-investigate the champion case. ”

"The white guards are going to Maru County tomorrow?"

"In order to prevent the old thief Xiang from sabotage, I hope Miss Li will keep it secret and don't tell others."

"Don't worry, I'll only tell my father."

After Li Fengling left, Lizi and the others returned to the head-catching room, and Bai Haohong saw that it was lunch time, so he took Lizi to a nearby restaurant to eat. Along the way, Liz kept talking about all kinds of gossip, of course, she also heard it from Du Yiming, Liz is very good at descriptive, and ordinary things are very interesting to say through her mouth.

Bai Haohong said secretly: "Lizi can really call in vain, it can really be said: life is endless, and he can't stop talking." So he said, "Liz, when you talk about messy things, you are full of energy, why are you bored when you come to study?" Let you learn a little bit about medicine from Yiming, you will be listless and not interested at all. ”

"Brother Bai, everyone has their own strengths, wouldn't it be good for me to talk gossip and let you relieve your boredom? If I can do everything that Yiming does, then there is no point for Yiming to live in this world, which will make Yiming very sad. ”

"You always have crooked reasoning!"

"Brother Bai, you always look down on me, let me tell you, the day before yesterday, someone came to persuade me to participate in the talent competition, and I have agreed. When it was time to give out the awards, people all over the capital would praise me for my talent. ”

"When did they find you?"

"The afternoon before yesterday."

"Strange! I turned it down for you the morning before yesterday. ”

Liz said disapprerovingly: "What's so strange, people know that I am talented, and it's a pity not to participate, so they insist on letting me go to the competition." ”

"It's okay to let you be embarrassed on stage, otherwise, you don't know how many pounds and taels you have." Bai Haohong thought of Li Fengling's jewelry, and then said: "Liz, if I sell all your jewelry, what do you think I will do with the money?" ”

When Lizi heard this, she hurriedly covered the bead flower on her head and said, "I don't want to sell what Brother Bai gave." ”

"I'm using an analogy."

Liz was relieved and said, "What are you doing with the money?" It's not that you owe money, or you're being blackmailed. ”

"What else?"

"You want to buy a villa in a scenic location. However, it is too poor to sell jewelry and buy a villa. ”

"Could it be that you are using that money to do good deeds?"

"Do you do good deeds with the money from selling jewelry? Do you even sell my heirloom bracelet? ”

"Yes."

"That's a problem with the head, and most people do good deeds within their means. Big Brother Bai, why are you asking this? If you run out of money, let's stop eating in the restaurant, I can still work as a small worker to earn money." ”

"Even if you run out of money, it's not your turn to worry about it."

"Big Brother Bai, I understand, you are testing my ability to bear it. You're going bankrupt, and I don't have a problem selling all your jewelry. I also thought of a trick just now, let's sell Baifu too, and then buy two small houses, I spin and weave at home every day, earn money to make a living, and wait for you to come back. ”

"Spin and weave, will you?"

"You can't learn it. I've seen the movie, it's romantic. ”

Then, Liz began to talk about the fantasy of pastoral life:

Liz sang while weaving, waiting for Bai Haohong's return. Bai Haohong returned home with a hoe and said to Liz: "Liz, you have worked hard!" ”

Liz replied: "Serve Big Brother Bai, don't be tired!" ”

One day later, Liz took the woven cloth to the market to sell, and met a kind person who bought all her cloth, and Liz used the money from the sale of cloth to buy a perch that Bai Haohong loved to eat. After returning home, Lizi made stewed sea bass in a broken pot, put it in a broken bowl, and served it to Bai Haohong, who applauded after eating.

In order to let Bai Haohong eat sea bass every day, Liz weaves cloth all night without sleeping, sells it the next day, and then buys fish to make for Bai Haohong to eat, day after day, year after year......
