Chapter 244: Big Business
Qi Miao wrapped her arms around Bai Xiyun's narrow waist, snuggled into his arms, and wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes on his shoulders, "You bad person, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me? I don't understand anything, I'm just an ordinary woman, you gave me such a big fortune, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the silver and look like a face outside?"
"Don't be funny, you care about me so much, will you be willing to leave me?" Bai Xiyun hugged her and shook her, jokingly: "Although I am not an outstanding talent, I am also from Yushu Linfeng." ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Bai of Yushu Linfeng. Qi Miao was amused by his words, straightened up and sniffed, looked up at Bai Xiyun and said, "But let's say it first, I'll just be a shopkeeper, and I don't know anything about business." What about you, now you have changed from the boss of the Unionpass number to the one who works for me, would you like to?"
"I'm naturally willing, I'm willing to do whatever you say. Bai Xiyun put his arm around her waist and said seriously: "As long as you say it, I am willing to do it." ”
Although they are newly married Yan'er, they also have children, and after getting along for so long, Qi Miao will still be defeated under Bai Xiyun's gentle offensive, her face is red and her head is lowered, and she shyly pushes him away and says, "Still standing here, let's go back." ”
Bai Xiyun held his hands open, his arms were empty, looking at Qi Miao's back but he felt interesting, and said with a smile: "It's still early, why don't we go to Baicaotang?" ”
Qi Miao paused, and then smiled: "It's okay, we can also go out and buy some clothes, shoes, hats, daily necessities and the like." ”
"Hmm. Let's go change clothes first. Bai Xiyun took Qi Miao's hand, and the two walked to the bedroom.
Yulian and Ailian, who were serving in the distance, looked at the two of them like fairy couples, they were both envious and proud, their masters were like this, and their subordinates were all stained. These people under Qinyuan who were driven out by the Bai family were actually willing to leave the Bai family's smoky ghost place, and if they left those people, their lives would only be more comfortable and better.
The two went back to change their clothes to go out, and then ordered someone to prepare the car, and Guan Junyan also wore the signature big red robe, and jumped into the car. The four maidservants got into another car. The driver left the grange with a smile and went in the direction of the city.
And at this time, the Anlu Hou Mansion is really unprecedentedly bleak, the old Taijun and the Zhang family are sick, the doctor has come to see it, and they all say that they are extremely angry, the old Taijun's situation is slightly better, but the Zhang family is more serious. Bai Xiyuan and his wife, Bai Xidu, Bai Xixi and Bai Xilan took their subordinates to take turns to serve the sick.
Among the whole family, only Bai Yongchun is the most idle, sitting in the front hall of Jinxiangyuan with a wine jug and pouring himself wine.
He really regrets that he shouldn't have taken Bai Xiyun away so impulsively. If the events of the day hadn't happened, Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao would not have left. This matter will not spread, and the emperor will not issue an order to indirectly take away the title of Marquis of Anlu. The ancestors braved many winds and rains from the dragon's work, and it was not easy for them to get such a benefit, but they didn't expect to be played with him here. He thought very well, get that kid away, let Bai Xiyun fend for himself outside, and maybe he could kick the water dog under the hardship. Unexpectedly, he made a miscalculation, he couldn't kick the water dog, and Bai Xidu, who was still harmed, couldn't get the title.
Now that the old lady and daughter-in-law are sick, although the children dare not say anything to him, he knows that there is no one behind him who does not talk about him?
He just didn't catch the gossipers, or he would have kicked them to death.
He didn't want to go out of the house either. What are you doing when you go out? Do you make people see jokes? Do you see how embarrassed he is?
He is also a dignified Marquis of An Lu, and now his official position is gone, and the title that can be passed on to his son is gone. Bai Yongchun raised his head and poured another sip of wine.
"Master Hou. Yao's mother entered the courtyard at this time and said, "Master Hou, a steward came to the ranch in the northwest, saying that there was something important to ask to see the old lady, but this time the old lady was sick...... "The business and general affairs of the family are all the ideas of the old lady, and I suddenly fell down the Dinghai God Needle, and I don't know if the Hou Ye can afford to take the lead."
Even Yao's mother regretted why she didn't follow Bai Xiyun. At that time, in fact, you can find a reason to leave.
Bai Yongchun thought for a while and said, "Then leave it to the Zhang family." Don't bother me. ”
When Yao's mother heard this, because of her close relationship with the old lady, she immediately felt angry and angry. In the end, the old lady spoiled a good marquis, and he didn't even look like a favorite.
Could it be that he can't set up a family and rely on all the women in the house? Isn't it true that the women in the family can't do things, so he can't do it for him?
Yao's mother has been a servant for many years, so she naturally knows how to endure the absurdity of her master, so she took a deep breath helplessly and sighed: "If you go back to Hou Ye, Madam is also feverish this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the person in charge, and I ask Hou Ye to decide." ”
Bai Yongchun snorted, casually threw away the wine jug, and said, "That's it, I still have to go, these useless things." ”
Yao's mother suffocated her tone, secretly thinking that the most useless thing is you.
But as a subordinate, he didn't dare to collide with the master. I could only laugh and say, "Master Hou, please move." ”
Bai Yongchun straightened out his somewhat wrinkled robe, snorted, and went to the front hall with his hands down, because he drank a lot of wine, although he was not drunk, he was slightly shaky and drifting when he walked.
Yao's mother didn't want to help, so she just followed behind and just watched.
When he came to the front hall, Bai Yongchun was already a little lucky to be blown by the autumn wind, so he walked up the steps quickly.
When the steward of the Northwest Ranch saw Bai Yongchun, he hurriedly stepped forward to make a big salute, kowtowed to the ground and said: "The old man has asked Hou Ye to say goodbye, I haven't seen him for many years, and Hou Ye is still so suave and romantic." The old man wishes the Hou Ye good luck!"
The steward on the ranch is not a showman, so it is naturally not a good word to speak, but this official sentence with a strong northwest sentence simply said what Bai Yongchun wants most now, and the official fortune is prosperous.
Bai Yongchun laughed and said: "Get up and talk, old Zhangtou, I see that your body is still tough, you are so old, you can also do it for your son to talk back and forth in the capital in the future." ”
"Yes, this time I brought the third child of my family here, but that dog cub has never seen the world, and I am afraid that I will lose your dignity if I bring it to the Hou Mansion. This time, the old man has a big matter and wants to personally ask the master to show him. ”
Steward Zhang straightened up and said with a smile: "A few days ago, a merchant from the capital came to the northwest to do business, and happened to pass by our pasture, and said that he wanted to book 5,000 cattle and 7,000 sheep with us. I am optimistic about the water grass in our northwest and the livestock raised. But our ranch does not have so many cattle and sheep, that person is also sincere to do business with us, said to make a decision with us first, first advance to us 30% of the deposit, cattle and sheep are slowly multiplying and paying, and when the time comes, the goods are paid, in the rest of the silver. The old man felt that this business was too big, and when our business was not so big on weekdays, the goods would be paid at the earliest until this time of the New Year, and it was also a long-term way to make up his own mind, so he came to ask the Hou Ye for instructions, whether we should do this business or not."
When Bai Yongchun heard this, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
For such a big business, how can there be a deposit of 30% of the payment for 1,000 taels, and you can make a net profit of 10,000 taels.
Now that the Bai family has fallen so badly, what I hope most is to be able to turn over, even if there is no official position, it is good to earn some silver.
Thinking about it like this, Bai Yongchun said excitedly: "Do it, why don't you do it? You see that the other party is so sincere, and the deposit is paid one percent more than others, what are you worried about? I said Old man Zhang, you have not made many decisions over the years, why is such an idea difficult for you? You have to come to the capital in person, and you are not afraid of tossing your old bones apart?"
The old steward Zhang hurriedly saluted: "What the old man said is that the villain is too nervous, the lord Hou is a person who has seen a big scene, you are a nobleman, you eat and spend all day long, more than the old man's family uses it in a year, and the villain is anxious when he hears about so many cattle and sheep business." Hurried over. ”
Bai Yongchun laughed, and was ironed and comfortable by what he said, and said with a smile: "I see, with so much silver profit, you don't have to stick to our pasture, you can buy it, the surrounding cattle and sheep, as long as you look good, you will receive the goods in large quantities, since the other party is so big and sincere, as long as you ask them if they are willing, you will receive the goods, and send them directly, will it be over?" I also asked these people to see how powerful our Bai family's ranch is, how capable it is to provide 5,700 cattle and sheep at one time, and other people's families can't do it. ”
Steward Zhang smiled when he heard this: "The old man can't think of it when he wants to break his head, Master Hou actually opened his mouth to come with such a good idea, yes, I have a number in my heart, so I will go to do things, this business is big, we also pay attention to new uses, I will not delay, now I will go back and arrange it." ”
Bai Yongchun bowed his head and said, "Go ahead, you can ask me directly about this kind of big thing in the future." ”
Steward Zhang said with a smile: "Such a big business, I have to find it in person after I have to find it, the old slave said a word of transgression, this woman is in business, naturally not more atmospheric than Hou Ye." ”
Bai Yongchun smiled again, and instructed his subordinates: "Go, I will entertain Steward Zhang." ”
Naturally, there was a servant girl who should have led the grateful Steward Zhang out.
The depression in Bai Yongchun's heart also dissipated a lot at this moment, and he snorted and said: "I don't believe it, I can't turn over if I leave the officialdom?"
