"Old lady, the eldest young master is here."

"Let him in."

It didn't take long for Bai Yan to enter the house.

"The son greets his mother."

"I heard that there is a guest in the house, a girl from the Su family?"

"That's right, I wasn't here when Miss Su came to the door yesterday, so I called her to my house today."

"I heard that you have been cooperating with this Su family for a few years, and it is this Su girl who is in charge of their family?"

"The Su family has always been in charge of Miss Su, her father is an honest farmer, her mother is too gentle and unassertive, I haven't seen her eldest brother, I heard that she is studying in Guozijian, and she has no time to manage the family's business, and the Su family's business has always been Miss Su's decision."

When Bai Yan talked about Miss Su, his eyes were full of appreciation, but he didn't notice when he spoke that Bai Mu was holding the sheets under the bed tightly with one hand.

Old Madam Bai is lying in bed to see her own son at this time, as for whether he is sick or not, I am afraid that only Old Madam Bai knows in her heart. For as long as Bai Yan can remember, his mother's health has always been bad, and he just asked the doctor to check it, but he couldn't find out why. Bai Yan also knew that in the early years, because of his father's partiality, his mother suffered a lot, and it was not incomprehensible to pretend to be sick to win his father's sympathy, but now his father has been absent from the house for more than two years, and he has been living with his aunt in Zhuangzi outside the city for the past two years.

Speaking of Bai's father and Aunt Hua at home, there is also a younger brother who lives in Zhuangzi outside the city, which is related to the family affairs of Baifu.

When Bai Yan was young, his father was extraordinarily eccentric, and everything good was sent to Aunt Hua and Aunt Hua's cousin, and his mother was sick for three days, not to mention the affairs of the house, even his own son could not take care of him, he was brought up by a nurse since he was a child, and the days lasted until he was ten years old, from the time he showed an amazing talent in business, his father gradually moved his attention to him, but it was not an attention, but a suppression, in his father's heart, only the cousin was his real son, and he was the son-in-law, There is not much difference between having and not, in order to make his mother and sister's life better in the future, he doesn't know how much hardship he has suffered in order to seize the power of the family, but these are all worth it, everything in Baifu is now in his hands, forcing his father to take his aunt and his good concubine to move to Zhuangzi outside the city, doing all this Bai Yan does not regret it at all, if he does not protect his mother and sister, the two of them may not even know how to die in the backyard.

Bai Yan thought about it, and suddenly heard a series of coughing sounds from the bed, Bai Yan quickly got up, and habitually stepped forward to help his mother sit up and pat her on the back. took the pear paste handed over by the maid in one hand, and personally fed the white mother who was half leaning on the bed.

After drinking a cup of pear ointment, Bai Mu's cough stopped.

"Yan'er, I'm tired, you go down."

Regarding his mother's attitude, Bai Yan is not strange at all.

"The son went down first, and the mother took care of her health."

After Bai Yan left, Mama Huang on the side went up.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Where is the white mother lying on the bed, who still has the sick and weak appearance before.

"It's okay, you said that the girl from the Su family saw you."

"Yes, ma'am, but the old slave doesn't seem to recognize me when she looks at her."

"How old she was when you saw her at that time, I can't remember you being able to say it, just in case, you will not appear in front of her in the future."

"The old slave didn't expect her to come to our yard today, the people in the house are too loose."

"You will go to the account office later and get fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'm tired, you go down."

Mama Huang went out of the house, told the maid guarding the door to guard well, and went to the account room.

Because of the great business in Baifu, the bookkeeper alone recruited five, and the gray-haired air manager in front of him has been working in Baifu for half his life, and he is now Bai Yan's most trusted person.

"Wind manager, I'll take 50,000 taels of silver tickets to buy some medicinal materials for the old lady to replenish her body."

The wind manager didn't say much after listening to Mama Huang's words, took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets from the box where the silver tickets were placed, handed them to Mama Huang, took out an account book and recorded the account, and pushed the book to Mama Huang.

Mama Huang was also used to it, so she took a brush and wrote her name underneath.

As soon as Mama Huang left, the wind manager held the account book in one hand and pulled a few strokes on the abacus with the other, and calculated that the old lady had taken 600,000 taels of silver tickets from the account office last month.

The wind manager sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the eldest young master's great money, this family would not be enough for the old lady to lose. Since the eldest young master took charge of the house, the old lady has come to the account room every once in a while to pay silver tickets, at least starting from 10,000 taels. But the amount of silver tickets from the old lady's side is getting bigger and bigger, from tens of thousands of taels per month at the beginning, to 600,000 taels per month now, that is, to buy tonics, hundreds of thousands of taels of tonic every month to drink, people can drink it.

Thinking of this, the wind steward still picked up the account book and went to the courtyard of the eldest young master.

"Wind manager, why did you come here?"

The little guy guarding at the gate of the courtyard saw that it was the wind pipe, and immediately stepped forward to support him, the wind manager was a lot older, but don't fall on him.

The wind manager waved his hand and rejected the kindness of the little guy.

"I'm not old enough to be supported, is the eldest young master in the courtyard?"

"At this time, the eldest young master is in the study, you should go by yourself."

The wind manager went to Bai Yan's study with his hands behind his back, and at the door of the study, the little servant who Bai Yan was waiting for saw that the person who came was the wind manager, and directly pushed open the door of the study.

Bai Yan was looking at last month's bill at this time, and when he saw the movement at the door, he knew that the wind manager was coming, and only this old steward came over, and the little guy guarding the door would not pass it on.

"Old Feng, why are you here?"

The air manager put the account book in his hand on the table.

"Look at it, this is the money that the old lady spent from the account office last month, the total is 600,000 taels, if there is no problem, you can sign it."

Bai Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard the 600,000 taels, and wrote his name in the account book.

Bai Yan didn't suspect the wind management, as the saying goes, the use of people is not suspicious, and he is quite relieved of the people who are in charge of the wind management.

"Eldest young master, every time Mama Huang comes to the silver, she says that she wants to buy tonics, is the old lady's health really that bad?"

"Don't worry about Feng Lao, although my mother's body is a little worse, it's not a big problem, and it can be done with a lot of conditioning usually."
