Chapter 197 I Want My Money, I Have Conditions
The return of Hong's family should have been what Bai Xingyan hoped most, and even the so-called Qingming ancestor worship was also an idea to get Hong's family back. Otherwise, the Bai family would have a small sacrifice every five years and a large sacrifice every ten years, and this year would not be enough for five years or ten years, so it should not be sacrificed at all.
However, because Bai Haochen failed to frame Bai Heran, he put himself in a prison. Bai Xingyan had long lost interest in worshiping his ancestors, and even Hong's family returned to the mansion and could not make him smile. Now Hong Piaopiao doesn't care about what Bai Xingyan's attitude towards her. The reason why she came back was that the ancestor worship involved her ancestors for a while, and she didn't want to make people talk about this kind of thing. Second, she also wanted to come back and see, and Ye, who returned to the mansion, made a fuss about what demon moth.
.Apart from this, there is another thing, which is to help the old lady and Bai Heran take back the housekeeper's power and the financial power. So when Hong and Bai Zhenzhen returned to the house, they brought two servants from the Hong family. Both of them were men in their forties, one tall and one short. The tall one was dressed in brocade clothes and noble, the short one was wearing a long coat with silver wire embroidered, holding a long abacus in their hands, and a face full of
Smart. The Bai family didn't sleep much, so they gathered in the front hall early in the morning to organize sacrifices. Hong took Bai Zhenzhen to invite the old lady first, and then bowed to Bai Xingyan and said lightly: "The master looks good. I think I'm not in the mansion and will live these days.
Very good, I will feel at ease. When the sacrifice is over, I will return it to my fourth lady and I, so I will not disturb the harmony between the master and the second wife."
Bai Xingyan was very puzzled, "How did you see that my country's Duke has a good face?" He was obviously bloodless and thin and was exhausted, so why was he still living a very good life? Who is so good at this?
Hong looked at Ye, "The second wife has returned home. If the master is not doing well, how dare he take the risk to let the second wife come back."
Bai Jinghong frowned and continued, "My mother returned home to cure her eyes."
Bai Zhenzhen was suddenly happy, "Oh, mother, are you blind? This is so good."
Ye was so angry that his liver hurt. What does it mean that she is so blind? Is there anyone who speaks like this?
Bai Xingyan also frowned and scolded: "How do you speak?"
Bai Zhenzhen looked puzzled, "Isn't there a saying that "I can't see you" means purity. Now that my mother can't see you, wouldn't it be completely purified? Most people can't ask for this state. My mother must have accumulated great virtues and God will give such good rewards. It's really enviable."
Bai Jinghong gritted his teeth and said, "If the fourth sister thinks this is a good thing, why not feel it completely cleansed?"
Bai Zhenzhen waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I don't have that blessing. Besides, I'm still so young and haven't seen enough beauty in the world, why can I be willing to purify my heart early? Unlike my mother who is old, she will purify me." Bai Jinghong was so angry that her heart trembled. She wanted to argue a few more words, but Ye held her hand tightly. At this time, we can't cause trouble again. Originally, because of Bai Haochen's affairs, Bai Xingyan had already complained about her and her three sons. Now Bai Haochen is still in the yamen, so she and Jinghong are absolutely
No more mistakes can occur.
Bai Jinghong also knew this truth, so he had to shut up unwillingly and not say more.
But Hong asked again: "Since it's for the purpose of treating the eyes, should we go back after the eyes are cured?"
Bai Xingyan was upset and waved his hand: "What to go? Where to go? One of you is the wife of the Ming couple in your country, and the other is the concubine who is fair in your country. Since you entered my Duke Wen's Mansion, there is no reason to leave." Hong blinked, "Can't leave? Then the mansion needs to raise two more people to eat for free. I heard that the Bai family has no money for meals. Now the whole mansion is vegetarian. I am afraid that the money used to serve ancestors is all made up by the seller. The funeral gentleman is still on credit?
Did you think about where to make up for the extra expenses once we come back?" When he said this, the funeral Mr. Zhang Dian walked in. He wanted to report to the old lady and Bai Xingyan about the preparation of the sacrificial items. At the same time, he also reminded that the ceremony would start in half an hour and could not be delayed. But as soon as he entered the veil, he heard the Hong family say that the Bai family
He had no money and the money he gave him was still on credit, and he couldn't help but panic. But the Bai family really didn't give him money, saying that they would be settled together after it was over. He originally thought that such a big Duke's mansion would not be able to take out the twenty or thirty taels he paid to him, so he didn't care much about it. But now when he heard this, it seems that it is not the case at all!
The Duke's Mansion is really short of money! So Zhang Dian's topic changed, and he changed it to asking Bai Xingyan for money. He said: "I don't hide it from the Duke's Man. There are rules for our career. You can owe any money, but you can't owe any money. This ancestor worship is also a funeral. Before the ceremony begins, you must pay the money for the funeral.
If you figure it out clearly, otherwise your ancestors will think that your descendants are not living well in their life and they will not be at ease."
This is scary. If the ancestors don’t give money, they will be uneasy. Once the ancestors are uneasy, can the living people still live? Bai Xingyan is simply a lawsuit, and the funeral industry is asking for a low price. He is not looking for a big funeral, but an ordinary unknown man, who can speak thirty taels at the moment, and there is no bargaining price. Those well-known big funerals often cost hundreds or even hundreds of taels. He asked
Didn't even dare to ask.
However, now that the government is in a tight position, he really can't even get thirty taels.
Hong looked at Bai Xingyan's cowardly appearance and felt very upset. Why did she marry such a thing? If she had known that this Duke Wen could be so heartbroken, she would never have married into the Bai family no matter what she did.
Unfortunately, the past is unbearable to look back on, and the past is too late to look back. "Look, you can't even pay the money for the funeral master. How can the master support this family?" Hong said expressionlessly, and his eyes turned to Ye without any concealment. Although Ye couldn't see it, Bai Xingyan and Bai Jinghong both saw it in their hearts.
I couldn't help but feel even more angry. On the side, Lin twisted his body a few times, floated a few charming eyes, and said, "How to raise it in the past, how to raise it in the future. Sister Hong belongs to the Bai family, and she still cares about what money does. The Hong family is rich enough to rival the country, and some leaks from the cracks in her fingers are enough for us to eat and use for the whole year. Master
Say it's right?"
Bai Xingyan nodded and looked at Lin with admiration. He was just in need of someone to say this first! Hong Shi snorted coldly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The Hong family has money, it's okay to raise me, and it's okay to raise my two children, but why should I raise you? Or the master only has me, and I love you very much, so I don't have the Bai family.
Question. If Sister Lin is really dedicated to the good of the master, it is better to leave the house and take the second wife and sister Xiao Ye away! Don't worry, I won't treat your children unfairly. The Hong family's money is enough for them to eat, drink, clothing and use." Lin was choked and didn't know how to answer the words later. The old lady glanced at Lin and said disgustingly: "Some people have thick skins as thick as walls, while others are shameless at all. After marrying a woman, they can't afford to support their husband's family. In turn, they want women to support their husband's family.
If the Bai family falls to the family that wants to tell women to raise, then the old man would rather move out than be the old lady of the Duke of Wen's house." Bai Heran also sat aside, listening patiently to everyone's words. She spoke quietly: "Father's life comes from grandmother. If you move out, how can you still be the Duke of Wen? We Dongqin have always been kind and filial to the world, but we haven't
I heard that a family wanted to drive her mother out of the mansion because of poverty. If the emperor knew about this, 80% of the father who had hereditary titles would be over." Hong also said, "Yes, the old lady cannot move. In this family, the old lady will treat her best. She treats her kindly for these old lady, and protects Xuan'er for these days. In the future, even if she doesn't have food, she will have to eat first."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xingyan again, "It would be impossible for the master to hope that the Hong family would take out the money to help the Duke's Mansion, but I have some conditions."
Bai Xingyan's eyes lit up. No matter how Hong made a sarcasm, the other party had already spitted out and could take out the silver, so his goal was achieved. As for the conditions or not, as long as there was silver, it was no problem.
So he waved his hand very proudly, "You said, my Duke agreed."
Hong smiled, "Is the master's final word? Do you need to ask for instructions from the second wife? After all, the second wife is the decision at home. If the master has not asked for instructions, he agrees. If the second wife feels it is inappropriate, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"
Bai Xingyan felt very slap in the face now and couldn't help but groan, "When is it the turn of women in this family to make the decision?"
Ye quickly cooperated and said, "I put the master first in everything, and the master will be the master in everything."
Hong nodded, "Since this is the case, I'll feel relieved." After saying that, he waved to the outside of the hall, "Come in!"
Outside the front hall, the two men who came with Hong and Bai Zhenzhen immediately walked in, first saluting to the old lady, then saluting to Bai Heran, and finally saluting to Bai Xing.
It made Bai Xingyan very angry again.
But he no longer had to be angry at this, and he thought about what these two people were doing? Why did Hong bring them to the mansion? Soon Hong gave him the answer: "They are both slaves of the Hong family. After entering the Hong family, my elder brother changed his name, one was called Hongxing and the other was called Hongyun. Hongxing is the housekeeper of the Hongfu, Hongyun is the accountant of the Hongfu. Today, I brought them both here, just to tell the master that I would like to bring the Hong family's wealth back to the mansion, but from now on, Hongxing is the housekeeper of the Wenguo Duke's Mansion, and Hongyun is the accountant of the Wenguo Duke's Mansion. My family that I paid for was definitely not to fall into the hands of others. As long as the master nodded, I immediately
Five million silver dollars were added to the Duke Wen's Mansion's tent." Bai Xingyan took a breath of air conditioning...
