Chapter 245: Slap in the face
Although the old lady is sick here, she is not feverish like Zhang's, and she is just lying on the bed and thinking about what happened recently. In his memory, since Qi Miao entered the door, the family has not stopped, and everything that happened is unbelievable. First of all, the sick seedling miraculously recovered, and then their family took turns to be unlucky.
Lao Taijun actually admitted that morally, Bai Yongchun's desire to possess Qi Miao was indeed a bit absurd. After all, there is still a layer of relationship between the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the middle, but in the heart of the old lady, Qi Miao is just a tool for Qi Dayong to tie up with her son, she is not a heavenly maiden, nor is she inlaid with gold and jade, where is it so precious, a woman who has been exchanged for interests, is not allowed to play with his son?
She even felt that Qi Miao was a broom star at all, and she shouldn't have let this person marry in the first place. If it was replaced by someone else's girl, maybe Bai Xiyun would have grown grass on the grave at this time, and maybe his son would get her a grandson again.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, looking at her wrinkled hands, thinking of Qi Miao's smooth skin like the first condensation of new snow, and thinking of the woman's fairy-like face, the jealousy in the old lady's heart became even stronger.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the dark green skirt next to the bed, and the embroidered shoes under the skirt were faintly visible.
Bai Xiwei and Bai Xixi, who were beside the bed, stood up and said politely in a low voice, "Mother Yao is back." ”
Yao's mother respectfully saluted Bai Xiwan and Bai Xixi, and then said to the old lady: "Back to the old lady, Steward Zhang has already taken it to see the Hou Ye." ”
"Well, what was Master Hou doing when you went?" the old lady turned over.
Yao's mother said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, Hou Ye is dull, because he is worried about the old lady, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is borrowing wine to drown his sorrows. ”
The reason why Yao's mother can become Lao Taijun's confidant, and she has been favored for so many years, is really reasonable, at least, he knows what words need to be replied directly, what words need to be turned back, what words need to be half-truthed, and what needs to be said directly. Only in this way can the old lady be happy. The master was happy when he met him, and after a long time, he naturally relied on her.
The old lady listened to this and ironed it in her heart. When I thought of my son who was still clinging to him when he was so old, he felt comfortable, and said with a smile: "What's going on on the ranch?"
"Old lady, there is a big business on the ranch, saying that someone wants to order 5,000 cattle and 7,000 sheep from our ranch, and a deposit of 30% has been given in advance. ”
"It's so big!" the old lady forgot about the use of his illness, so Zeng sat up and said with a light in his eyes: "Can this matter be confirmed to be true?"
"Yes, Steward Zhang has been in our family for many years, but he was promoted by the old lady with a finger of experience, and he should be reliable. Hou Ye had already agreed to do this business, and Steward Zhang hurried back to the ranch. The old slave thought, if you don't come to Jitai, our Hou Mansion will also want to transfer it, and this large amount of wealth will be in hand. ”
Bai Xidui and Bai Xixi listened to it, and their hearts were extremely happy. It's all bad news these days, but there's also good news for everyone to have fun.
The old lady couldn't help laughing: "It's rare to encounter such a big business, if you go to the ranch to send me again, it will be better to have a good relationship with the customer, and it will be better if you can cooperate for a long time in the future." ”
"Yes, the old slave will go. ”
The old lady nodded and waved her hand to let Yao's mother go down.
I thought about it for a long time, and when I saw Bai Xidui on the side, I thought that the title of Marquis of Anlu had been lost, and Bai Yongchun was the last Marquis of Anlu, and the joy just now disappeared again.
What should they do? Could it be that they just quit the circle of honorables in such a gloomy manner?
Seeing that the old lady was worried. Bai Xixi said with a smile: "Old lady, look, isn't this business a good sign, the third brother is so smart, he is already planning to participate in the imperial examination, as long as it takes three years and five years, the third brother will return to officialdom with a high degree of success, and our family may be more prosperous than before." What else does the old lady have to worry about?"
When the old lady heard this, she felt reasonable, so she smiled and said, "What your sister said is true." You also work hard. The hope of our family is pinned on you. ”
Bai Xiwan smiled and saluted, "Grandson must do his best." Live up to your grandmother's hopes. Please also take care, our family can not do without you, you are our Dinghai Shen Needle. ”
The old lady likes to put me in authority all his life, and this kind of praise is his favorite to listen to. Thinking about it again, now that her own grandsons are all King De, if she becomes an emperor in the future...... Won't she become the emperor's own grandmother?
Although she can't enter the royal family, she told the world what the queen mother she is, but the future of the Bai family can still be bad?
Thinking about it like this, the old lady felt like she had eaten iced sour plum soup in the summer, and she was ironing all over.
"Okay, just listen to you, you are all older, and when you go back, grandma will pay attention to your good marriage. ”
Bai Xixi's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said: "The granddaughter is no longer marrying, and the granddaughter is willing to serve the old lady for the rest of her life." ”
"That's what I said. Looking at Bai Xixi's flushed cheeks, the old lady liked it very much, and pinched it and said: "Can grandma still be by your side all the time, isn't that delaying you? ”
It's rare for the old lady to be so kind, Bai Xiwan also smiled and joked: "Grandma will find me a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, and I promise to let grandma quickly hold her grandson." ”
"The third brother is really not ashamed. Bai Xixi stuck out his tongue at Bai Xixi.
Bai Xidu's face also turned red, but she smiled and said, "Grandma said that what the grandson said is right?"
Calling grandma so affectionately, instead of calling Lao Taijun Lao Fengjun, made Lao Taijun feel very useful when he listened, so he nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's right." ”
The brother and sister performed hard, coaxing the old lady to laugh, and the subordinates outside also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the servant girl came outside to reply.
"Old lady, I've found out. ”
There was silence in the room for a while, and the old lady said, "Come in." ”
The maid entered the door, curtsied, and said, "Now that it has been fully investigated, the second young master went directly to the grange after taking the Qi family and his subordinates, and it seems that they are not poor, and the slave and maid inquired." Now the second young master and the young lady have no loans, and they are all supported by the business in the second young lady's maiden shop. ”
"What?" the old lady sat up straight and muttered, "There is no shop for the Qi family's dowry." Tell me, what kind of shop is that?"
"Back to the old lady, it has spread in the city now, that is, the Baicaotang where we often take medicine, is the business left by the biological mother of the second young lady, saying that it was quietly left behind, and the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Qi family and our second young lady are operating dividends together, this time when they go out, it is useless, and the second young lady will be open and honest about this matter. ”
"Baicaotang!" the old lady exclaimed, such a big herbal medicine business, let alone the capital, is the county seat around the capital, the place where medicinal materials are produced in Tiannanhaibei, there are Baicaotang shops or caravans for collecting medicinal materials everywhere, such a big business, the dead ghost of the Han family was actually left to two daughters!
Yes. Han's went early, and Han's mother's family is gone, who will you give it to if you don't give it to the girl?
But General Qi and Miao, the two idiots, didn't they even find out?
Such a large amount of property originally belonged to them secretly, but now it was missed because Bai Xiyun was driven away by the Sect!
The more the old lady thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she pounded the pillow angrily.
"Impossible, impossible! What's going on in Baicaotang!"
At this time, even Bai Xiwan and Bai Xixi were surprised.
Bai Xiwan thought that he wanted to get together and send it to him before, but now that he thinks about other people's big livelihoods, didn't he slap himself in the face when he went, why did the second brother have such good luck to marry a beautiful, talented and wealthy daughter-in-law like Qi Miao? Why is he out of reach.
But Bai Xixi was happy for Qi Miao, and secretly admired in her heart, among all the women she came into contact with, only Qi Miao lived like a legend! He had all the beauty, talent, wealth, and a husband who loved her, as well as a child who was about to be born.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she regretted why she wanted to drive them away. If you don't dare to leave, this business will leak out sooner or later, right? When the time comes, the Bai family can still get a piece of the pie, or take it directly, but now, they can only stare at it!
In fact, there are also Zhang and Bai Yongchun who think the same way as Lao Taijun.
Both of them got the news, and they didn't see that Bai Xiyun had been out of the house even worse, but they learned that Bai Xiyun could "eat soft rice" openly, because the daughter-in-law had the ability to withstand the two people's seven orifices, Zhang's originally had a fever, and he launched a high fever in anger.
Bai Yongchun was too lazy to see these crying faces at home, so he simply went out and went to a nearby alley to find Miao's,

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Gonggong Su saluted the emperor and said, "Back to the emperor, Young Master Bai and the Qi family are now placed in the grange on the outskirts of Beijing, not far from Jingchen. ”
The emperor looked at the fold and said without raising his eyebrows: "Can you find out the origin of Baicaotang?"
"Yes, I have already instructed the banner to find out, this Baicaotang is indeed run by the Qi family's mother's generation, but I didn't know what to do and didn't report it to the Qi family later. The Han family had no one left, and the Han family was afraid that the two daughters would not live well under their stepmother, so they let the loyal old servant run it silently, and then take it out to the two children at the appropriate time. Now that Xiao Qi and Young Master Bai are suffering, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang has come to the door. ”
