Chapter Ninety-Four: Asking for a House
Yan Zhuo saw Zhou's Mingjin withdraw his troops, pursed his lips and sat down with a smile.
The eyes of the boys and girls in the room were different from those of Fang Cai.
On the other side, Bai Xinlan stared at her with resentment and hatred like a defeated rooster.
Zhizhi was so happy that she broke her shoulder, "Second sister-in-law! Next time, you can take me to the real Eight Wedding Feast! ”
This meal, the Zhou family and the Zhang family all ate it, and it was boring.
I wanted to have fun with the Bai family, but I lost all interest.
After hastily finishing the feast, and when it was time to hold the lamp, all the families dispersed, and Zhou asked the servant woman to take Bai Yiyanzhuo and others down to rest.
"Since you're here, let's play for a few more days, and there are many sisters and brothers in the house, so you can make an appointment to play by yourself, and I'm not in good shape, so I won't accompany you." Zhou Shi was polite and polite, and he also got up and left.
Bai Yi saw that Zhou and Bai Xinlan deliberately set up a trick for Yan Zhuo just now, and he was angry when he came again, and his attitude became tough at this time.
hugged his fists and said straight to the point: "Aunt Six misunderstood, we didn't come to the house as guests, but there was my father's house in the Bai family's mansion at the beginning." We recently went to the city to have something to do, and we want to use that place as a place to stay, and we hope that Aunt Six will help take care of it, or just point out the place to us. ”
Zhou was stunned, okay!
Harder than she thought!
This is not to find a livelihood, this is to directly share the fat of her Bai family!
She picked the corners of her lips and sat down again, "Ouch, the second nephew is going to settle down in the city?"
"This Bai family house, you also know, is a house built by our Haicheng team, what you said about your house, I really don't know this."
Bai Yi's face sank, she didn't expect her to deny it so shamelessly.
Bai Yu hugged his fists on the side and said: "Sixth aunt, the Bai family knows about the sixth uncle and the third uncle when they went to Jinling City to send the Haicheng deed to Bai Xiangye. If you don't know, why don't you ask Uncle Six? ”
Zhou's face sank, a distant relative came out of nowhere with the surname Bai, and he dared to get involved in their family's affairs!
But when Bai Yu said this, she couldn't deny it directly, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Look at my memory, I really can't remember, how many years ago!" Wait, I'll find out! ”
When Zhou came out, he called someone to deliver a message to Bai Shixin.
Bai Shixin is tasting wine with Gao Huai.
A few years ago, the Bai family relied on Bai Shichen's official reputation and became the official family's rice and grain supplier, earning a lot of silver.
Later, he became angry with other industries, and he mixed up with the excitement of the east and west, but he did what to lose and what he took, and gradually began to go downhill.
Bai Shixin knew the benefits of the combination of politics and business, and made great efforts to climb the big tree of Gao Huai, but he didn't expect that as soon as Sun Cheng came, Gao Huai couldn't say anything.
Now that Sun Cheng has fallen, Haicheng has become the Gao family covering the sky again, and Bai Shixin has also followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.
He has been pondering the selection of tribute wine by the imperial court these days, if he can choose the tribute in the palace, then he will also become an imperial businessman!
How much wine must be consumed in that palace!
This road is a road paved with silver to make a fortune!
So he made great efforts to find a new wine and sent it to Gao Huai for tasting, and asked for a name by the way.
Gao Huaigang took a few sips, squinted his eyes and shook his head, "Fresh and sweet, mellow and beautiful, the entrance is cool first and then warm, the arms are like holding a warm stove, and drinking two cups of snow in winter, it is really beautiful!" It's not far from the flowers in Jinling City, not bad, not bad! ”
Bai Shixin immediately patted his horse, "Have you ever drunk a hundred flowers?" ”
It is said that the flowers are very hard to find, I don't know who the brewer is, it is capricious, it is difficult to buy it with money, and the production is extremely rare.
However, the rarer it is, the more people want to buy it, the higher the price, which can be called a real treasure.
Gao Huai's favorite person praised him for his knowledge in wine, and he smiled smugly, "I have drunk it, it is indeed the best in wine, it is rare that people who make wine here are not greedy for silver, and only two urns are produced every year." Only people with such pure minds can make such pure wine! ”
Bai Shixin boasted about his interest again, and asked: "It's a small honor for Master Gao to like it, please give me a name!" ”
Gao Huai nodded, "It's almost the time of Bailu, let's call it Yuluqiu." ”
Bai Shixin was given his name, and he was happy, and the two were chatting hotly, when the Bai family came over.
Bai Shixin frowned after hearing this, and whispered a few words in the little girl's ear.
After the little servant left, he sighed and said, "Bai Shichen's orphan and widow came to the door to ask for the house!" ”
Gao Huai's eyes jumped, "Are they all here?" ”
Bai Shixin shook his head, "Da Lang suffered a loss in the city last time, and it is Erlang who comes back this time." It was also thanks to their good luck that Sun Cheng was beheaded by the rebels. ”
Gao Huai was silent, his fingers tapped on the table, "Then his Bai family is really exhausted?" ”
Bai Shixin nodded, sneered and sighed: "It should have been exhausted a long time ago, otherwise the widow would not have let the second son marry a rich and foolish man!" If Bai Shichen knew, he was afraid that the coffin board would not be able to hold it! ”
He looked at Gao Huai and said, "My lord, why don't we use Erlang to force that widow?" ”
Gao Huai sneered, "That Da Lang saw that he was being stabbed on the neck, she didn't blink, she would give up something for this son who married a fool in exchange for silver?" ”
Bai Shixin thought about it too, frowning and silent.
Gao Huai was also worried, he had tried all methods, secretly investigated, secretly visited, threatened, and even dug up the ancestral graves, and the widow of the Bai family was so calm.
He lit the wine cup in his hand and drew a circle, "There is another possibility." ”
Bai Shixin looked at him.
Gao Huai snorted coldly, "Bai Shichen didn't tell her about this at all!" ”
"What then?" Bai Shixin was shocked, "Isn't that impossible to find?" ”
Gao Huai narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "No, what's the difference between hiding in a place where no one knows and ruining it?" Most likely, he left some clues! If you have the chance, try and tempt, don't force it, I'll think of other ways. ”
……
Zhou got Bai Shixin's reply and went to the flower hall again.
"Nephew Yi, I asked." Zhou sat down unhurriedly, "At the beginning, your sixth uncle sent the land deed to do this, but." ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Lord Xiangye can confiscate it." ”
The smile stopped on his lips and rolled his eyes.
What I didn't want at the beginning, now I want to go back, phew!
Bai Yi clenched his fists, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I'm afraid that the sixth aunt is mistaken, what my father said should be temporarily borrowed from the clan." At that time, we were far away in Jinling, so naturally we didn't need it, but now that we have returned to Haicheng, we don't have to let the sixth aunt bother to take care of it. ”
When they mentioned this matter to Mrs. Bai yesterday, they had already said that the Bai family might put forward the excuse and dealt with it.
Zhou didn't expect him to be able to pull down his face so much, and he said it very well, why don't you bother to take care of it, don't you just want to go back?!
She spread her hands, "But at that time, the prime minister confiscated the land deed, and we thought he didn't want it!" ”
The old lady doesn't admit it, how can it be dropped, anyway, the title deed is not in your hands!
