075 Dog blood gossip

Early the next morning, the Zhongguo Mansion sent Mama Wang to the door, and agreed that two days later, that is, on the twenty-first day of October, the Guogong Mansion would send a car to pick up the three members of the Bai family to see the Duchess of Zhongguo.

Bai Poria took the maid guards out early in the morning to inspect her "cattle and horse training base".

The so-called base, from the outside, is a small village with relatively neat houses under the Lark Mountain, this village was proposed by Bai Poria more than ten years ago, and most of the people living in it are some newly acquired "slaves", who were bought and transported here for training in the prefectures and counties near the capital.

These slaves are male and female, mainly young and half-old orphans, there are also a few older people and disabled but still able to work, the old people who can be brought here have a skill, the daily work is more to teach other young male and female slaves various skills, the village is divided into four living areas according to men, women, old and weak, young and young, and there is a comprehensive area for the village management, teachers, doctors and other staff to live.

Everyone in the village wears many hats, and the new young slaves and orphans are trained in various skills according to their abilities and preferences, and they are also responsible for daily work, and the village is basically self-sufficient.

When these young slaves are successful, they will provide them with a way out according to their qualifications and abilities, or they will be introduced to work as a domestic worker in a large family, or they will work in the shops of merchants in the capital, and there will be a few outstanding and willing to stay in the Bai family, and they will become the stewards of the Bai family and be stationed in various places to make money for the Bai family.

No matter which way out, the Bai family will give them a price to redeem on the day they complete their studies, and when they earn enough redemption money with their own ability to hand it over, they can get rid of their slavery and become good citizens from anew.

The redemption price given by the Bai family is generally dozens or even thousands of times the price they sell, and the price varies depending on their ability, but very few people dispute that their redemption price is too high, on the contrary, most people hope that the higher their redemption price, the better, because this proves that they are much more capable than others.

Bai Poria family has been away from the capital for ten years, this small village was handed over to the Bai family's cronies to be in charge of cooking, this person is called Baishu, in the early years married a woman named Hu Taoye in the capital as a wife, the two couples are shrewd in men, and the women are kind, and they have managed this village in an orderly manner over the years. When the two sides saw each other, Baizhu was so excited that he almost shed a few heroic tears on the spot.

Bai Poria was accompanied by his wife in the village, and the upper and lower people heard that the eldest lady was coming early in the morning, and bowed to her when they saw her from afar, so that Bai Poria had a fluttering feeling of national leaders going out on patrol.

Everyone usually listens to the Baizhu couple say how beautiful and smart their eldest lady is, she is like a fairy, and when she sees it today, if she doesn't say anything else, her appearance is really beautiful like a fairy. Adults, especially men, didn't dare to look at it for fear of offense, but children couldn't care so much, and they followed Bai Poria and his party around.

At noon, Bai Zhu and his wife had dinner with Bai Poria, and Bai Poria had the opportunity to sit down with them and talk in detail, and asked about the current situation in the village, and it happened that Bai Qian, another Bai family steward in charge of "sales" in Beijing, also rushed back, so he asked him about the movement of the capital.

Bai Qian is the leading person in the capital, specializing in introducing domestic servants and stewards for large families, and also introducing suitable shopkeepers, account rooms, technicians, guys, etc. for merchants, in the words of Bai Poria, in fact, it is an ancient professional intermediary, he has been in the capital for 20 years, but earlier it was for Qiufeng Pavilion to pull the line to pick up business, buy children who are suitable for martial arts training back to Qiufeng Pavilion to train as killers, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bad thing to do bad things.

His biggest skill is to have a relationship with the three sects and nine lius, collect intelligence, and be good at hiding himself, so many people knew that Qiufeng Pavilion had a connector in the capital, but no one knew that the connector who urged him was the middle-aged man in front of him who smiled like Maitreya Buddha, with a simple and humble face, and a good old man.

Bai Chou had a great favor to him, so when Bai Chou disbanded the Autumn Wind Pavilion and retired to the rivers and lakes, he followed him to the end without any objection. Bai Poria felt that this person was good at dancing with long sleeves, and he was born to be a broker and a tooth, so he discussed with his father to leave him in Beijing.

It's just that the work he is responsible for has become a professional intermediary for the Bai family's cattle and horses, he has deep connections in the middle and lower classes of the capital, and he has been doing more and more over the years, plus the Bai family has a very good set of training people, and the people who go out are all clever and quick to get started, and the character is trustworthy, and the reputation accumulated for more than ten years, the first choice is to find Bai Qian, even if the price is more expensive.

However, today's Bai Qian has changed his ways, and swore not to do things that deceive the good and the cheap, and never do things like selling the little girl as a prostitute, concubine, or room, and the people introduced only sign short-term contracts for one to five years, and they don't do it for life. Over time, his reputation became very good, and many poor families begged him to introduce jobs.

If it is said that the most well-informed person in the capital, it must be Bai Qian, from the trend of the court situation to the gossip secrets in the market, there are few things he does not know. As soon as Bai Poria asked, he poured all the beans and enjoyed it, almost answering every question.

Bai Poria is of course most concerned about the relationship between the Zhongguo Mansion and the Yasukuni Mansion that is about to deal with, the mother said vaguely, only saying that the two mansions are prosperous on one side, and on the other hand, she is the only one left, and since the death of her grandfather Zhongguo Gong, the two rooms have gradually become incompatible with each other, and when the Yasukuni Gong was still in good health, he could still control his own children, since his health deteriorated a few years ago, the relationship between the two sides has become more and more stiff. But the mother did not elaborate on what was the reason for the disagreement, but only warned her not to deal with the people of the Yasukuni Mansion as much as possible.

Bai Qian smiled and said, "This is a long story. The title of our dynasty can only be hereditary for three generations, and even the prince is no exception. When it comes to the generation of the young lady's grandfather, it happens to be the third generation, just waiting for this generation of Yasukuni Gong to go, his whole family has become civilians, and the three sons of Yasukuni have been living a life of being a human being since they were young. In addition, although there are a lot of land properties in the Yasukuni Mansion, they can't bear the squandering of the three young masters plus a group of wives and children, and they will be separated in the future, and I am afraid that they will have to sit on the mountain in less than three years. ”

"It turned out to be a lack of money! So he wanted to win loyalty...... My grandfather's property? Bai Poria suddenly realized, but she was still not used to calling a strange old man who had been dead for decades as her grandfather, and she almost missed her mouth.

Bai Qian said hesitantly: "If it's just money, then it's okay!" Miss's grandfather's title of Duke Nazhongguo is not hereditary, but earned back by his own skills, and this title can also be hereditary for three generations! ”

Bai Poria completely understood this time: "Then the people of the Yasukuni Mansion won't see that my grandfather only has one daughter, my mother, so they plan to take away the title left by my grandfather, right?!" ”

Bai Qian patted his thigh and said, "Wow!" The people of the Yasukuni Mansion fought this idea, but Miss's grandmother and the Queen Mother were close friends in the boudoir back then, and the Queen Mother's family was not prosperous, and there was no power in the court, but the identity was there, and the people of the Yasukuni Mansion did not dare to attack Miss and your grandmother easily. ”

"Tsk! Sure enough, they don't grow up, they know how to bully the old and weak, women and children, so if you want a title, won't you learn from my grandfather and fight one back by yourself? Bai Poria said disdainfully.

"Of the three sons of the Yasukuni Mansion, none of them have become successful, although the Zhongguo Mansion only has a daughter, but it is a heroine among women who does not let her eyebrows go, and she is much more competitive than them!" Bai Qian sent a loud sycophant at the right time.

Bai Poria suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there anything special about the Cui family and my eldest brother's general's mansion?" ”

"The Cui family was seriously ill two months ago, and it has just gotten better these days, but there have been no storms, but the Cui family has become closer and closer to the eldest prince, and a few days ago they sent the daughter of one of their cousins to the eldest prince's mansion to serve, and the woman seems to be called ...... It's called Liu Zhenzhen! Bai Qian vigorously recalled this gossip.

Cui Zhenyi's serious illness is directly related to the Bai family, and Bai Chou was not angry that she dared to find someone to harm his daughter, so he sent someone to teach her a lesson. In order to accumulate virtue and do good, the three of them vowed not to provoke people's lives again, so Bai Chou just sent someone to sneak into Cui Zhenyi's room in the middle of the night and wrote the word "kill" on her forehead with cinnabar as a warning.

On the first day, although Cui Zhenyi was frightened, she still calmly ordered to strengthen the guards in the house, and changed several maids and wives around her.

As a result, the next night, there were several girls sleeping in the room, seven or eight mothers-in-law were guarded outside the room, and more than 20 guards were added to patrol the courtyard.

Cui Zhenyi had a ghost in her heart, and she didn't dare to report to the official, so she hurriedly returned to her parents' house for temporary refuge, but woke up in her mother's room the next day with another killing word on her forehead.

This time she finally broke down completely! I was seriously ill at the moment, and I lay in bed for two months before I slowly got better. She knew that this was a warning from the Bai family - they could easily send someone to sneak into her room and write on her forehead, and they could stab her in the neck and heart and kill her.

If the family asks her about the reason for her bad relationship with others, she will inevitably pull out the discord between her and Lu Ying, fortunately, the Bai family just wants to scare her, and does not intend to really want her life.

Bai Lingling had heard about Cui Zhenyi's tragic situation a long time ago, and she didn't feel anything when she heard Liu Zhenzhen's name, she was just worried that the Cui family would die if she messed around like this, and it was likely to affect her eldest brother Lu Ying!
