Chapter 40: Suspicion Arises
Although the store's business can also make money every day, this is not the result that Baili Lan wants.
Tapping the tips of his fingers on the table, Bai Lilan looked at the man standing opposite, and asked coldly, "It's been almost half a month, and Bai Xiangmen hasn't even received an order." I obviously asked the sect master to send the elite over, but no matter how it came, it was a rice bucket! ”
Bai Lilan's voice was not sharp, but in people's hearts, they couldn't help but tremble. Secretly wiping the sweat from his forehead, the young man said with little confidence, "Most of them are under the governance of Lord Sun, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is little dissatisfaction, so our business will be very cold." ”
"Hmph, it's your excuse, not the reason! If you live and work in peace and contentment, there is no disturbance, and there is no desire to investigate clearly? Obviously, you are content with the status quo and don't want to expand Baixiangmen. Let's be honest, do you think that sending Nanzhao is equivalent to giving up on you and leaving you to fend for yourself? ”
These few words really speak to the hearts of young people. In fact, not only himself, but also several partners who came with him also thought the same way. Originally, I was doing well in Bac Ninh, thinking that as long as I worked hard, sooner or later I would become the helmsman of the rudder. But this woman suggested that everyone should leave their hometowns, come to the place of the model, and start over. The most important thing is that there is such a good reward for doing some serious business, so who would go to the trouble and risk their lives to solve the investigation? However, although I thought so in my heart, I was really broken by Baili Lan, so I still have to hypocritically deny it.
"No, we can see the heart of the door master, the sun and the moon, and we have no two hearts! The current hardship is temporary, we have been trying to improve the current situation, I hope the girl will give us some time, at the latest half a month later, it will definitely have an effect! ”
"You don't have to talk big, it's still half a month, even if it's half a year, you won't make achievements! In fact, you ask yourself, is it really harmful to come to Nanzhao? You are still young, and in Bac Ninh, you may have the opportunity to be promoted to the helm of the rudder. But how many years? Five, ten, or twenty years? The seniors in front of you are getting more and more senior, and you can't drive them away; The rising star newborn calf behind is not afraid of tigers, you can't suppress it. With the pressure from both sides, do you really have a good chance to sit on the helm? But when it comes to Nanzhao, the situation is completely different. The market here is completely new, and what you open up will reap. You guys look at it now that it's very profitable to open a store, but I'm telling you, it's all short-lived. Soon, competitors will emerge, their services will be better, their prices will be lower, and the whole market will gradually become sluggish, and the performance will inevitably be affected. If it survives, the store will go to the next level. If you can't get through it, you can only close the door. When the time comes, you will lose your place and want to return to Baixiangmen? Hmph, if you still have the face to go back, you can only be a little minion in the sect, and this stain will follow you for a lifetime, and there will be no chance to turn over. These are the facts now, go back and think carefully with your companions, whether you want to start a good career from now on, or live in discouragement and chaos, it is up to you to decide. ”
After listening to Baili Lan's words, the young man seemed a little stunned. After revisiting Baili Lan's words again, he solemnly arched his hand and said, "Listening to the girl's words, it's really shocking!" Thank you girl for your advice, after going back, I will definitely change my mind and face and carry forward Baixiangmen in Nanzhao! ”
The young man left with full hope, and Xia Yu hurriedly served a cup of tea and said, "I heard the county lord cough yesterday, and I said so much today, let's drink some tea to moisten my throat." ”
After talking about it for almost a morning, Baili Lan was also a little tired, and after drinking most of the cup, she handed the quilt to Xia Yu, stretched her waist and said, "It's okay in the afternoon, I'll take a nap first." If no important people come, don't bother me. ”
"Yes, don't worry, county lord!"
Standing up from the collapse of the chair, Baili Lan asked by the way, "I didn't see Ah Jun in the morning, where did she go?" ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yu first he, and then gossiped and said, "The fourth lady went out with Dianhai early in the morning." The county lord didn't see it, these two people have been eyebrows recently, I think we are going to prepare a dowry for the fourth lady. ”
Recently, he has been busy with the affairs of Baixiangmen, but he has neglected his concern for Bailijun. Hearing Xia Yu say this, Baili Lan wrote down another thing in her heart.
"If Ah Jun can open his heart and accept Dianhai, it will naturally be a good thing. Don't pay too much attention to them for the time being, let them cultivate their own feelings first. Once we have made our decision, we have time to prepare. ”
"Yes. County Lord, if the fourth lady gets married, but goes to Wulao Mountain to do a happy event? Tingdianhai occasionally mentioned that he was an orphan, and the master was his family. So do we want to take the ladies to Wulao Mountain to celebrate the fourth lady? ”
These words reminded Baili Lan and made her realize that if Bai Lijun got married, she could contact the second and third sisters by the way. She didn't worry about the second sister, the second brother-in-law was a solid-eyed man at first glance, and he was infatuated with the second sister. It was Bai Lixi, which made Bai Li Lan a little worried. After all, her husband is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"If you are really ready to get married, you will send the wedding card to the second and third misses." After pondering it carefully, Baili Lan changed her attention and said, "Let's let Dongxue take this opportunity to go to the third miss first." I am no longer Princess Chen, I am afraid that Xiao Peng will have no scruples and be unkind to the third sister. ”
Bai Lilan said this, which made Xia Yu feel shocked, and he nodded hurriedly and agreed.
"Inform Dongxue about this now. Okay, let's go down. After retreating the summer rain, Baili Lan gently closed her eyes, and her mind flew quickly.
If you can bring the third sister back this time, the jade pendants in the sisters' hands will almost be ready. What does King Dingnan want to tell his children from the jade pendant, so that he has to make it so mysterious? I'm still a little curious!

Bac Ninh Border Hsiao House,,
After autumn, the weather in Bac Ninh is cool in the morning and evening, and the temperature is suitable, which is pleasant. It's just that the ladies are accustomed to waking up late to enjoy not only the sweet dew of the morning, but also the bright and fresh sunshine.
In a corner of the Xiao Mansion, a thin woman raised a wooden stick and beat her clothes one by one, looking like she was washing clothes for the ladies and ladies. Because the well water was cold, the woman's white hands were already red. The morning breeze gradually rose, but the woman's forehead slid down with sweat drops, and her arms swayed, as if she had reached the limit of her body.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and the woman was in good spirits when she heard it, and she hurriedly quickened the movements of her subordinates, as if she wanted to finish washing her clothes quickly.
"Oh my God, it's early in the morning, you actually finished washing three pieces, are you deliberately delaying so that the third lady has no clothes to wear!" The aunt who came over had an exaggerated voice and an even more exaggerated expression, as if the clothes couldn't be washed, and her third lady was going to be naked. walked to the woman's side in three or two steps, pushed it into the huge basin, and scolded her head and face, "Xiao Mansion raised you to let you serve the old lady, but you are good, you are not grateful, but you hide here and be lazy!" If I don't teach you a lesson today, I really think that no one can control you, right? ”
"No, I'm not lazy! It's just that I didn't eat last night, and I got up early to wash these clothes, and some of them didn't have the strength, so I was slow. Really, really not lazy! The woman dodged the beating while defending herself in a weak position. But her answer made the aunt even more angry, and the fist she swung down fell on the woman's body like raindrops. After not knowing much effort, the woman was covered in water, her face was bruised and swollen, and she was embarrassed.
"You still dare to be stubborn, don't you, do you still think you are a noblewoman? You're just a little slut, anyone in the Xiao Mansion can wantonly insult you when they see you, no need for a reason! Dare to hide, see if I don't kill you today! ”
A heavy punch hit the corner of the woman's eye, she only felt that the last strength in her body was exhausted, and then the whole person fell to the ground softly like a ball of cotton, not feeling pain, but she could still use a pair of eyes that slid down the bloodstains to see the outside world from the perspective of humiliation.
"Don't play dead, do you think this will let you go!"
The aunt didn't seem to want to let the woman go, and grabbed her collar with her big palm, and was about to pull her up. At this moment, the woman seemed to see a light and shadow flashing, and then she heard a scream like killing a pig behind her. Then, the power that had imprisoned her disappeared, and the woman, like a kite that had lost its string, fell again. It's just that what awaits her this time is not the cold and slippery ground, but a warm, soft embrace with a familiar smell.
Looking at the person above, the woman smiled with relief and whispered, "You're finally here!" After saying that, the woman's neck was crooked, and she fainted.
Looking at Bai Liqian, who was once talented and arrogant like a swan, her face was covered with blood at the moment, her body was covered with scars, and she was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, Dong Xue felt that there was a killing intent flowing in her body, and she couldn't wait to wash the blood of the entire Xiao Mansion now!
The mother-in-law who brought the winter snow over hurriedly pulled the fallen aunt up, took a few steps back, and said timidly, "I, we all did this according to the master's arrangement, otherwise, why would we embarrass her." If you're looking for revenge, don't come to us! ”
Dongxue didn't have time to talk nonsense to them at the moment, her eyes were red, she raised her head and ordered, "Go and get a basin of clean hot water, if you haven't prepared anything for a cup of tea, I'll break your bones!" ”
A gust of wind blew, and the two old women felt the coldness between the bone joints, and their feet were soft, so they hurriedly left.
Picking up Baili Qian in distress, Dongxue found the nearest empty room, put it on the bed, took out a medicine from her arms, and carefully wiped her wounds. Those old women will not bring hot water to work, but there is one thing, winter snow must be done!
I don't know if it's because of the pain of the wound, Bai Lixi gradually opened her eyes, saw the murderous Dongxue, gently pulled her arm, and said, "Don't make trouble, take me away." Do you know how hard it was for me to wait for this day? I really want to stay here a little longer, please, take me away! ”
