Chapter 61: Returning Home, Zheng's Suppression
Bai Shuangshuang had long known that Bai Zhengzhong would let people inquire about her movements today, and the reason why she didn't say it herself was that she would not let Bai Zhengzhong feel that she was always using Li Yuanbo as an excuse, and second, for the sake of Mama Liu, Bai Shuangshuang had already borrowed Li Yuanbo's wind in front of Zheng's family, and now that her plan was about to start, she couldn't let Zheng be alert for the time being.
But Bai Zhengzhong is different, Bai Shuangshuang now has to try his best to let Bai Zhengzhong understand that in Bai Mansion, only she can work with him Bai Shuangshuang, so there is no need to hide it.
Bai Shuangshuang's eyebrows and eyes smiled crookedly, and he said with a little daughter's attitude: "Daddy is so powerful, he can actually see that his daughter wants to tell you alone." ”
"Hahaha!" Bai Zhengzhong smiled and stroked the top of Bai Shuangshuang's hair: "What else can you hide from your father?" Say, did you see the prince of Jue? ”
"Yes, maybe the prince only said that Second Young Master Cheng also came to the flower appreciation conference today, so he called his daughter over and asked me if I knew how the business between Second Young Master Cheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going, and after I couldn't tell me, the prince let me come back."
"Hmm." Bai Zhengzhong pondered for a moment, he thought of a trivial matter that he heard from his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy today, saying that when he went to court today, the official restaurant managed by Prince Jue seemed to have gone wrong, and he was severely criticized by the emperor, and the emperor also said that if Prince Jue did not do well, he would be replaced.
Is it going to be returned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Bai Zheng thought about it, but he didn't plan to say more to Bai Shuangshuang, but said: "You have been to Cheng Mansion more in the past two days, let's go to Cheng's Mansion more, Mrs. Cheng is old and likes you, you go to see her more." By the way, I also went to see Ruohan. ”
Whether to see Mrs. Cheng or Cheng Ruohan, Bai Shuangshuang naturally knows it, seeing Mrs. Cheng, of course Bai Shuangshuang is willing, not to mention that she does need some opportunities to communicate with Cheng Ruohan, Bai Zhengzhong took the initiative to give convenience, and she readily agreed, but she still acted like she listened to Bai Zhengzhong's orders.
She said, "Okay, Daddy, my daughter will write a prayer post in the past two days." ”
Bai Zhengzhong nodded with satisfaction: "Shuangshuang is really well-behaved and obedient." But your mother was also right just now, for a person of the status of Zuo Du Yushi's daughter, you still have to be more humble and don't use your tongue. lest they make enemies. ”
White Frost lowered her eyelids: "Yes, Daddy, my daughter wrote it down." ”
Bai Zhengzhong was really satisfied, and said with concern: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?" Go back to the yard and let someone cook you something to eat in the kitchenette, don't go hungry. ”
"Yes, Daddy, then the daughter will retire first."
On the other side, Zheng and Bai Mingzhu, who came out of the flower hall, whispered all the way back to Zheng's courtyard and closed the door to chat.
After Bai Mingzhu came back from this flower-viewing meeting, he brought back great news.
As soon as the Zheng family sat down, he continued what Bai Mingzhu said on the road just now: "Then Second Young Master Cheng really wants to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in business?" Is this true? ”
Bai Mingzhu said in a coquettish voice: "Of course it's true, how can Brother Han lie with me?" I heard Brother Han say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is likely to take over the government-run restaurant, and Brother Han will do it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time. ”
Although the Cheng family is already the richest man in the Kangxuan Dynasty, if they can really have a relationship with the future emperor, the glory and financial resources at that time will not only be comparable to the richest man. Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I didn't expect that this Second Young Master Cheng would be able to seize this kind of opportunity." ”
Bai Mingzhu secretly looked at Zheng's attitude, and saw that she seemed to think that this was a good thing, so she said tentatively: "Mother, what do you say if we talk to Brother Han about a joint venture?" ”
"Shares?" Zheng frowned: "Why did you suddenly think of this?" Not to mention the background of our family to go to the Chamber of Commerce to surrender their identity, just say that your father is an official in the court, you are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, if this is a copy of the Imperial History Terrace, your father's career will be gone. ”
Bai Mingzhu played with a strand of hair hanging down to his chest, and said disapprerovingly: "It is said that it is not allowed to compete with the people for profit, and it is not that there are so many official wives who put Yinzi money outside." ”
Zheng, who was about to drink tea, just handed the teacup to his mouth, when he heard Bai Mingzhu say such a sentence, and finally put the teacup down with some anger, and said to his daughter with rare sternness: "You can't say these things casually, you can't do such a thing as putting Yinzi money, how dare you move this kind of thought?" ”
Taiwei Zheng has always been the image of Zhongzhi, and the matter of putting Yinzi money is strictly forbidden in Taiwei's Mansion, not to mention that Zheng has not dared to touch this matter since he was a child, and her mother Zhang did not dare to do so.
Bai Mingzhu knew that the Zheng family was angry, and thought of what he was going to do, so he had to explain in a soft voice: "Mother, I am saying that those ladies put in the money, don't no one know?" It's not all turning a blind eye, not to mention that we are just a joint venture with the Cheng family? ”
Seeing that the Zheng family didn't speak, Bai Mingzhu hurriedly sat down beside her and said coquettishly: "Mother~ Think about it, our Bai family and the Cheng family already have a marriage contract, isn't it normal for us to give the second young master of the Cheng family some support?" ”
Zheng Shi stared at Bai Mingzhu and snorted lightly: "What? Is this what your brother Nahan taught you? ”
"It's not~ How could Brother Han teach me to say this?" Bai Mingzhu leaned on Zheng's body and said carefully: "Brother Han just told me that if he joins forces with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is a lack of funds. I thought that if we could help Brother Han do this, then Brother Han would definitely be grateful to us in the future, and I would be a little more sure that my daughter would marry into the Cheng family. ”
"Hmph, even if you want to join forces with him, where do you get such a lot of money?"
When Bai Mingzhu heard Zheng say this, he knew that Zheng was a little shaken, and he rubbed Zheng: "When you married your father, didn't your grandfather's family give you a lot of dowry?" ”
When Zheng heard this, her face showed a little gloomy, and she tapped Bai Mingzhu's head with her fingertips: "Little hoof, you are starting to play with the idea of my dowry?" It's just presumptuous. ”
"Mother~ This matter is done, Brother Han will definitely soar in the future, and when the time comes, when he marries his daughter, won't he have a bright face for his mother! My daughter's future is happy! Didn't you tell me that your dowry was also for your daughter? ”
“……”
I have to say that Bai Mingzhu's words are still very tempting, which makes Zheng a little excited. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will succeed to the throne in the future, which can be said to be justified, not to mention that her father Taiwei Zheng is also following him, and it seems that the risk is indeed not high.
If Cheng Ruohan really inherited such a great favor from her Zheng mother and daughter, I think she will be able to speak in Cheng Mansion in the future.
