Chapter 33: Bai Jin's thoughts
What to do? What should he do?
The stinky boy has learned this kind of skill quietly, how will he restrain him in the future?
Lian Shaoda didn't know how to leave the old house. There is only one faint feeling: he is practicing the second room of the family, and the sky may change!
He and Bai Jin were waiting for news of him at home, and they were already waiting a little impatiently.
He was full of schadenfreude: Lian Baitang ruined her reputation, even if she was expelled from the house, she was also the eldest son in the family. Practice the old man's heart, where is it! As long as the husband does something this time, the mother and son will have no fun in the future!
Who knew that Lian Shaoda returned home dejected, looking dazed and gloomy. Seeing that their mother and son suddenly felt bad.
"What's wrong?" He Shi hurriedly helped him sit down, "Did the old mansion reprimand you too?" Don't be angry. She gave her son a look, and Bai Jin had already sent tea to her father.
"Daddy. Uncle's words, you just listen, don't take it to heart. It's not worth it to be angry and break your body. ”
Lian Shaoda looked up at Bai Jin, the only son in his life, the biggest pride, but he was about to be overwhelmed by a stinky girl, his heart was sour and annoyed, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed: "It didn't work out." ”
"What?" He Shi's eyes widened and he laughed angrily, "It's all like this, and the old man is not angry?" Dafang's heart is too biased! She pulled Bai Jin, her eyes were misty with tears, "My poor Jin'er! Why are you so miserable! ”
"It's not." Lian Shaoda frowned, "He won." ”
"Win, what if you win - what?!" He Shi stopped crying violently, and when he looked up, his beautiful face was hideous!
"Impossible!" Bai Jin exclaimed. Even if he wants to try it with Gao Jianming, he is not completely sure. What's more, Baitang?
"I really won." Lian Shaoda shook his head weakly, "He made a Luoxia note, and then printed a red bamboo painting on the paper. Poems were also filled. The Gao family responded to the battle with sprinkling gold paper, but they were convinced and had no power to parry. ”
He's face was so distorted for a while that she was about to rub the handkerchief in her hand.
Bai Jin was stunned for a long time before he said: "It must have been his master who taught him!" For the first time, jealousy arose in his heart towards Bai Tang: Why did it not meet Xu Danling himself, but Lian Baitang? I have been smart since I was a child, and the poor thing is the guidance of famous teachers! If he can worship Xu Danling as a teacher, his achievements will be a hundred times that of Baitang!
When he thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he glanced at his father, but he didn't speak.
However, He Shi's brain was sensitive, and he said hesitantly: "Since the bamboo paintings on the paper can be red, won't the books be colored in the future?" Shaoda, this is a great thing! ”
"Hmm." Lian Shaoda glanced at Bai Jin, this sensational person in the engraving world, why is it not Bai Jin? It's cheap to practice Baitang's stinky girl!
He narrowed his eyes and said decisively: "Bai Jin, choose the right engraving immediately, we can't miss this opportunity!" ”
Bai Jin responded: "Okay." ”
"Wait. What are you anxious about! Lian Shaoda remembered his eldest brother's advice, "This matter can't be messed around, you have to listen to Bai Tang's arrangement." ”
"Why listen to him? Which onion is he? He sneered, "Besides, he is your son, and we are originally a family!" Forgive him for practicing Baitang, and he doesn't take the trouble of finding his own father. ”
Bai Jin also felt that her mother was reasonable. No matter how you say it, the eldest brother is his father's son, even if he lives separately, the relationship has never been broken.
"-Okay!" Lian Shaoda himself thought so, and was provoked by He's family, slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth, "If he dares to trouble me, I will let the world see his true face of unfilial piety!" ”
The three members of the family turned their worries into joys, and their hearts were calculated.
The movement of the second room naturally can't hide from the old house. Lian Shaorong was so angry that he dropped the teacup again: Bastard thing! Relying on Bai Tang's father, he acts unscrupulously! Do you want to lose face? There was already a knot between father and son, but he didn't want to turn around, but intensified! I had the intention to call my younger brother to reprimand, but Lian Shaoda was obedient, and he always shirked the heavy affairs and refused to come to the old house.
Lian Shaorong looked at his attitude and could see clearly: he couldn't listen to his own persuasion. I can't help but be afraid of ashes: I am getting older, and the more I live, the more confused I become! Since you insist on doing your best to be a father and son, follow you! Despite this, he still asked Pingjiang to bring a message to Bai Tang: He is your father after all, you can do it.
Bai Tang got this sentence, and Fang Senran smiled. Affectionately said to Pingjiang: "I always have to bother my cousin." He took a small jar of Lanxue tea, "When the autumn tea is on the market, I will send it to my grandfather and uncle." ”
Pingjiang smiled: "Between our brothers, what is polite." Lan Xuecha, who was hard to find, was happy after all, and suddenly remembered something, and said casually: "Your red bamboo prints, grandpa said that they have the true taste of Mr. Wentong." But have you seen Wen Tong's paintings before? ”
Bai Tang was slightly flustered and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing. It's just that recently someone has been frantically searching for Wen Tong's authentic works, and it's menacing. This matter can be big or small, you must pay attention. ”
Bai Tang said gratefully: "Thank you cousin for your advice." Bai Tang understood. ”
Pingjiang went home happily with the baby tea. Bai Tang was full of curiosity: Who is searching for Wen Tong's paintings?
No matter who it is, it must be a big deal to make my cousin jealous and remind him.
He took out a pair of silk books from the locked box, which was the original "Red Bamboo" of Wen Tong picked up from Yunjian Building. He spent a lot of effort, re-sorted the warp and weft of the silk, reluctantly pieced it together, and repeatedly pondered and depicted it, so that he had the red bamboo on the Luoxia note that amazed the world.
The old man and Qin Jian can both see that his paintings have the same style and bones, and Fang Huaiyu, who lost "Red Bamboo", will be indifferent? Will Xu Qiu'an, who ruined "Red Bamboo", be untouched?
So, Bai Tang instructed his family and the whole steward, whether it is living or doing business these days, all of them are open their eyes and be careful, under the feet of the Son of Heaven who has no wind and three waves, who knows what accidents will happen?
The summer heat is fading, and the autumn mood is slightly rising.
Bai Tang liquidated the profits of Songzhuxuan in the first quarter, and in addition to the silver used to maintain daily expenses, he planned to buy all kinds of wood. Historically, after the fire in the Azusa wood warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing, the price of all alternative wood will rise. One guest is not bothered by the two masters, and what he is looking for is the shop of the Ye family, the former in-laws.
Coincidentally, Ye Shihong was also doing things in the shop, and when he saw Bai Tang, his small eyes were bright, and his fat round face smiled too happily: "Bai Tang's virtuous nephew!" How can you have time to come to my shop today! Sit down, sit down. Alas, make a cup of tea for Childe! ”
Bai Tang was flattered: Why did he withdraw from his family, but the treatment went to the next level? He smiled and said, "Uncle Ye doesn't have to be polite. ”
In the elegant inner hall reception room, the steward served fragrant tea, and Ye Shihong smiled and said: "If the virtuous nephew wants to buy wood, send someone to say it." After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you already bought a lot of azusa wood last time, right?" ”
Bai Tang took a sip of tea: "Exactly." "He's here for another purpose.
Ye Shihong glanced at Bai Tang unexpectedly, and said tentatively: "It stands to reason that it has only been these days, and the wood before should not be used much, right?" You're going to buy one again today - it's not that I don't have it at home, you can afford it? ”
That's the truth. Bai Tang is also worried about this matter.
"Thank you Uncle Ye for the reminder. Bai Tang came here to find a warehouse. ”
Ye Shihong was even more surprised: "Warehouse? How big do you want a warehouse? ”
Of course, Baitang hopes that the bigger the warehouse, the better. But saying this will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion and trouble. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be big." Half an acre is enough. It's not just for putting wood, my family's Songzhuzhai business is getting better and better, and there are more and more goods coming in, so sooner or later I have to find a warehouse. ”
Ye Shihong nodded frequently and smiled: "Congratulations to the virtuous nephew, the business is prosperous." It's just that on the outskirts of the city, as far as I know, there is no spare warehouse of this size for the time being. ”
Bai Tang's long eyebrows tightened slightly, he was in trouble.
"Why don't you do that, I'll look for you first. If there is a suitable one, how about informing the nephew? ”
Bai Tang was surprised that he had received such a courtesy from his former in-laws, and he was quite happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Ye." ”
Just as he was about to get up to say goodbye, he suddenly heard a tactful low question: "Father is here?" ”
Bai Tang didn't realize that the bones all over his body were crispy a few taels: Ah, this voice is soft and charming, I don't know what a beautiful woman it is?
Ye Shihong's eyes rolled slightly, and he laughed: "Yo, Ah Ying is here!" ”
