Bai Shi looked at Xia Ruixi's face as he spoke: "Originally, longevity was really going to be sold, but as soon as the eldest master heard about it, he told his mother, saying that it was the lack of a literate and hyphenated long-term follower, and his mother couldn't wipe it, so she had already agreed." You said that this longevity is really a good fate, it turned out that he followed his mother who poured night incense all day long, but was caught by the old lady at a glance, ascended to the sky in one step, and stayed by his side to serve at any time, and then was favored by Qing Jin and Jun Shao at the same time. It's a pity that he doesn't have any special skills except for knowing a few words and filial piety, otherwise, I can also persuade my mother to let him stay and serve Qingjin. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled: "Maybe everyone sees him filial piety, take pity on him." I haven't seen anyone, but Si Shao's side is indeed one less older and sensible long-term follower, he can't do it, I returned to my mother, and I chose another one. ”

Bai Shi made a very embarrassed look: "To be a long-term follower, he is very suitable, it's just ...... Alas, you didn't say it sooner. She paused: "Where is the reason to empty your own family and cheap outsiders?" Forget it, I'll think of another way, it's a big deal that I'll be a villain. I'll go talk about it! ”

After saying that she didn't dare to offend her in-laws, and then saying that she was going to think about it, Xia Ruixi saw through Bai's pretentiousness and hypocrisy at a glance.

As far as Xia Ruixi knew, Master Ou's side said so at the beginning, but in the end, there was no movement. The reason why the Bai clan did this was either to doubt that they could get anything good from Changshou, or to take this opportunity to get something from her.

If the Bai family doesn't do this, Xia Ruixi still remembers her affection, and if she can help, she will naturally consider helping her. She is playing this trick now, but it makes people doubly disgusted, Xia Ruixi said very simply: "Thank you for the kindness of the third sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you, just as if I didn't say anything." ”

It's not the Bai family who covers the sky in this house, she has another idea. For example, let Ou Qingjin pester the second lady, as long as the kung fu is in place and the words are appropriate, she doesn't believe that the second lady Ou Qingjin will bear to refuse Ou Qingjin.

Seeing that Xia Ruixi refused to accept her favor, Bai Shi laughed dryly twice, and slowly turned the topic around the hot spring village: "I heard that you are digging a fish pond in the hot spring village and want to use warm water to raise fish?" ”

Xia Ruixi put away the unhappiness in his heart and said with a smile: "Yes, the two of us are joking, and the chief manager in Zhuangzi all said that he couldn't do it, but Qing Jin's stubbornness came up, so he had to do it." ”

Bai Shi said tentatively: "If it succeeds, the income must be very good, right?" ”

Xia Ruixi glanced at Bai Shi carefully, only to see Bai Shi looking at her with burning eyes, and he was a little unsure of what Bai Shi had in mind.

Money is inexhaustible for one person, if the family needs such a pond and raises some fish to make some income to subsidize the family, she is not unwilling to take out that drawing, let the family build another one, the family is more comfortable, and she and Ou Qingjin's small life should be smoother and more secure.

But there is a question here, warm water fish farming, as long as there are no accidents, she herself is confident that she will definitely make money. But this is a new thing after all, other people who don't know will generally take a wait-and-see attitude before they see the benefits, and will not venture to invest, Xia Ruixi does not believe that Bai will be so far-sighted.

Thinking that the Bai family was in front of her, Xia Ruixi judged that Bai's talk about warm water fish farming was just an introduction, and there must be a backhand.

Xia Ruixi said tentatively: "If the third sister-in-law is interested, you might as well dig one up and try it." "If Bai is interested in fish ponds, that's fine.

Bai Shi smiled: "How can it, I heard that this pool is going to be repaired, I don't know how much it will cost." Not to mention that the land price over there is expensive, and the wages are a lot, but the gate valve is also made of copper, I don't know how much copper money has to be melted? ”

Xia Ruixi suddenly understood Bai's intentions, which was indirectly saying that she was rich and testing how thick her family was.

Xia Ruixi really hated the Bai family in his heart, but he couldn't do it on his face, and said with a smile: "Where can it, who is chewing the root of the tongue like this?" The land was originally a dowry, it was far away from the hot springs, the land price was very cheap, and most of the workers were the subordinates of the Zhuangzi, and the gate valve was iron, but the outside was plated with a layer of copper, and it really had to be all copper, Hugh said that I didn't have that money, and I was afraid of being stolen, so I really didn't spend a few dollars. ”

Bai Shi smiled reluctantly: "It doesn't cost much money?" If the Zhuangzi at home is still there, we can dig one up and try it. ”

Xia Ruixi feigned surprise: "What if the Zhuangzi at home is still there?" What does this mean? ”

Bai gritted his teeth: "For the sake of the old lady's funeral to be decent, that Zhuangzi has been sold, sold for 50,000 taels of silver, spent 30,000 taels on errands, and the remaining 20,000 taels are not enough for the uncle to bring into the capital. ”

Xia Ruixi asked her about Zhuangzi, but she talked about the family's expenses. If it were someone else, she would definitely ask her why she sold Zhuangzi and why the family was strapped to this point. As soon as Xia Ruixi picked up the conversation, Bai Shi just said what she wanted to say.

"Oh?" Xia Ruixi blinked, and didn't follow Bai's words: "It's sold well, and the price is quite good." My mother's hot spring village is not profitable, except for a few days a year, it is basically useless, and I have to raise a group of people to clean it up. When my mother told me to give me this Zhuangzi, I didn't want it. ”

Bai Shi was so blocked by her sentence "sold well" that she had nothing to say, but she was unwilling to stop the topic, and repeated it again: "I got 50,000 taels for selling Zhuangzi, and the old lady's funeral cost 30,000 taels, and the remaining 20,000 taels were not enough for the uncle to take to the capital." ”

Xia Ruixi smiled: "Jingli is not better than us here, everything costs money." Even if it is a small servant, if he makes a casual move, it will be one or two taels of silver. This is still the uncle's honesty and seriousness, otherwise it may cost more. We've been out for so long, and if we don't go back, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law should scold us. Without waiting for Bai's consent, he took the lead in walking out of the flower shed.

Bai Shi didn't let her go, "Fourth brother and sister, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xia Ruixi was beating like a drum in her heart, could it be that this Bai family wanted to borrow money from her? If Bai really opened her mouth, she wouldn't be able to answer. Borrow it, open this head, you borrow it today, he borrows it tomorrow, and he can't take it anymore; If you don't borrow it, I'm afraid of leaving people with the impression of being stingy and ruthless. The best thing to do is to block Bai Shi and prevent her from opening this mouth.

Xia Ruixi stretched out his hand to let Liang'er hold him, his feet did not stop, with a slight shyness, and said apologetically: "Third sister-in-law, our own family, what do you have to say while drinking tea when you go back." I haven't had a good rest these days, and I'm a little tired when I come out of this conference. You don't mind, do you? ”
