The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 277

Days of train journey.

When approaching New York State, Mitsuko Yamada and Kenshin Himura said goodbye to Bai Gui, and took the train to Connecticut. Yale University is in New Haven, Connecticut, between New York City and Boston.

It didn't take long to separate, and after about five or six hours of driving, we arrived in New York State.

Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu took a taxi to Manhattan.

New York's Chinatown has been formed since [-], roughly in the southeast of Lower Manhattan, on Mott Street and Bourke Street.

As soon as the taxi arrived in the Chinatown area, it felt a little out of place with the surrounding high-rise buildings.

At the entrance, it seems to have come to China, an antique Chinese-style building.

But occasionally there are some foreign buildings mixed in.

Here, all the shops use Chinese, and the higher-end shops only have English-Chinese translations.

The busy crowd spoke Cantonese or Hokkien, and occasionally some people uttered a few words of Mandarin.

"Oh, sir, ma'am, I'll take you here."

"You see, that's not going to go through at all."

The taxi driver gestured exaggeratedly and pointed at the blocked street.

Very expressive.

"Okay, let's go for a walk."

"This is the fare."

Bai Gui nodded and said.

The streets of Chinatown are probably two-lane lanes, but there are some hawkers hawking at the roadside stalls, and people come and go. It is really not easy for a Ford to drive in.

Chinatown at this time was not yet a tourist attraction for later generations, it was well organized, spacious, clean and hygienic.

Now... it's just a gathering place for a group of people to travel across the ocean and report to a group to keep warm.

He took out the fare from his wallet and took Bai Xiuzhu out of the car.

The Ford drove away with a bang, out of sight.

"Chinatown……"

After Bai Gui got out of the car, he saw the towering wooden arch, hanging above his head, with the words "Chinatown" written on it.

He muttered softly.

"There are rickshaws in Chinatown. I haven't been here for several years, so I'm not familiar with them."

"I often live in Long Island, where the private schools are the best in New York State, but my father and mother like to live here in Chinatown..."

Bai Xiuzhu led Bai Gui towards the depths of Chinatown.

After a short tilt, I found a row of rickshaws parked at the intersection and the rickshaw driver who was chatting.

Bai Xiuzhu said an address.

The two got on the rickshaw, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the wealthy area deep in Chinatown, which was clearly separated from the shacks in the slums next to it.

Baifu is a large European-style villa.

Knock on the door.

Soon there was a door to welcome the two of them in.

"Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"This is my aunt. Sure enough, she looks dignified, has an extraordinary appearance, and is as gentle as a gentleman."

The housekeeper's old lady came over and immediately praised Bai Gui when she saw Bai Gui.

She is a wise man.

You have to pay attention to the method of flattering. If you are just married, you should praise your husband, and if you have children, you should praise your children.

What is important is to moisten the rain silently.

"Liu Ma, what are you talking about, Mei and him are still a little bit worse."

Bai Xiuzhu put down her handbag on the sofa, just sat down, and smiled.

"Mother Liu, this is a wedding bag, please accept it."

"You've taken care of Xiuzhu for so many years, and you've been serving the older ones, you're considered a half-mother."

Bai Gui took out the red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mama Liu.

Although he and Bai Xiuzhu have been married for four or five months, which is not a short time, but they have just arrived in Ameiken country and Bai Xiuzhu's house, and they still need to be present. Anyway, there are some money around.

People do not blame.

And what Liu Ma said, he felt comfortable listening to it.

"Grandpa is being polite."

Liu Ma didn't refuse, and took it.

The newcomer's happy package can't be waived either.

She put it in her hand and touched it, it was quite thick, and she immediately burst into joy.

As the housekeeper of the White Mansion, how can this uncle not understand that his family wealth may not be comparable to that of a businessman, but he is definitely a master of money, and this red envelope will definitely not be too perfunctory.

"Mama Liu, prepare meals for my uncle and miss. The meals will be ordered at the restaurant and delivered to the house."

On the stairs, a middle-aged man with a face resembling Bai Xiongqi, a little older, and wearing a robe came down, leaning on a civilized stick, wearing a Western-style top hat, combining Chinese and Western styles, and walked down the stairs.

"I have seen Yue Zhang."

Bai Gui stood up and bowed to Master Bai.

Don't look at Mr. Bai is just a rich businessman now, but without any means and resources, how could it be possible for Bai Xiongqi to go to Germany to study in the early years, and to do business in Ameiken for so many years.Master Bai abandoned his official position to go into business. He was a fifth-rank official in the former Qing Dynasty, and was born as a Jinshi. Later, he felt that the Xunqing had faded to the west, and sooner or later he would not be safe, so he found a way to make a living early. With the help of his relationship in the Qing Dynasty, he went to Ameiken to do business. Although they are not well-known big businessmen who set up factories in various places, their family background is also extremely rich.

"Meihe, don't be too polite, I've more or less heard some of your names from old friends."

"Now you can come to study in Ameiken country, I am very happy..."

"If you need anything, just say it, don't be polite to me."

Master Bai smiled.

The more he looked at Bai Gui, the more he appreciated him.

One is that he was born in the imperial examination, and he is on the right track. The two have a topic. Second, Bai Gui is born in the imperial examination, but he has studied abroad. Even if he has heirs in the future, he will treat his grandson as his own grandson...

Although there was a saying in ancient times that the same surname should not be married, for example, in "Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong 23 Years", it said: "Men and women with the same surname, they will not be born again." In the Tang law, it was stipulated that people with the same surname married for two years, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, It is already very different from the ancient times. In the ancient times, the same surnames were often of the same clan, but later the same surnames were not of the same clan. Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this criminal law was deleted.

It is recorded in the "Compendium of Qing Laws and Regulations" that the regulations on non-marriage with the same surname were revised as: "People with the same surname should focus on the same clan, if they are not from the same clan..., there is no need to stick to the text."

What's more, biology at this time is already very advanced, and the enlightened gentry will not stick to this point.

In addition, the ancestor of Bailu Village was not named Bai, but Hu.

"Your father-in-law is being polite."

"I wrote to you once to draw your attention to the latest changes in the situation, I don't know..."

Bai Gui smiled and talked about another matter.

Ou Zhan broke out, since he has the knowledge of future generations, he does not hesitate to give some guidance to those around him.There is no such opportunity in China, but his father-in-law happens to be a wealthy businessman from Ameiken country. When he sent the happy news when he got married, he briefly stated the content in a telegram.

However, the current situation he expected now is not shocking at this moment.

Before the occupation, many people had already smelled the sparks of gunpowder smoke and wrote articles.

"With the eyes of Mei and you, a historian, I wouldn't waste this opportunity."

"Hoard goods for odds, buy low and sell high, the foundation of business..."

"According to what you said, I have already purchased a production line in a factory in a related field. The price of goods has soared recently. I have made a lot of money relying on your guidance."

Master Bai said solemnly.

As a businessman, he also has a keen sense of this, but he dare not act recklessly.

Later, after receiving Bai Gui's letter, I was moved. Not only did I take advantage of this to buy a lot of industries, but also bought some securities. In the past few months, there has been a lot of gunpowder in Europa, and even the market in Amei Kenguo has also begun. Volatility, he made a lot of money.

"I only have one son and one daughter. Xiongqi has settled down in China, and with Brother Jin's help, he will surely be able to rise steadily."

"Official, it's not necessary to ask for too much money, but it's easy to make a taboo."

"The only one who can stay with me now is Xiuzhu..."

"This industry will be given to you from now on..."

Master Bai glanced at Bai Gui, and said earnestly.

He is an old fox who knows the story of the cunning rabbit and the three caves.As long as Bai Xiongqi doesn't make any big mistakes, he has the right to be rich, and this bit of property of the Bai family can't help Bai Xiongqi much, and if it's all given to Bai Xiongqi... Maybe there will be some obstacles in the future, maybe these things The money was wasted.

And for Bai Xiuzhu, if her brother has any difficulties in the future, will she, as a younger sister, stand by and watch?

Of course, it is impossible for him to give all his assets to Bai Xiuzhu and Bai Gui.

He just intends to give the big head to the two of them.

"My father-in-law doesn't have to be like this. Although I come from a humble background, I still have some wealth."

"These are enough for my husband and wife to spend."

Bai Gui shook his head, noncommittal.

If he really wanted to make money, he wouldn't be developing like this now.Some business pointers for the White House are only reserved for later use.

"I'm glad you can think like that..."

Master Bai was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

Not everyone pursues money this way. Sometimes when one has status, money is definitely enough to spend. If you want so much money, there is no need for it.As for Bai Gui, such a university student, it is estimated that he has broken away from low-level interests.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon to see people who regard money as dung.

The two finished their business.

Start talking about something else.

Master Bai found a random reason and dismissed Bai Xiuzhu.

"Xiuzhu's character is just like her mother's, she is quiet and virtuous, she is a good wife with a sweet heart."

"Meihe, don't let Xiuzhu down."

He said earnestly.

"Well, Xiuzhu is indeed a good wife."

"It helped me a lot during this time."

Bai Gui followed Master Bai's words and continued.

After all, this is the father-in-law's praise of his daughter. He is always embarrassed to refute, and what Master Bai said is not exaggerated. Although Bai Xiuzhu can be a little tempered occasionally, she is still virtuous on weekdays and takes good care of him. .

Talked for a while.

Bai Gui suddenly thought of one thing, and asked: "Well, I would like to ask Yuezhang, when I came, I didn't have the nerve to inquire with Xiuzhu, but I don't know if this wedding bag should be prepared for Xiuzhu's aunt, and how many copies should I prepare?"

He looked at Master Bai expectantly.

Now that Master Bai said, Bai Xiuzhu will follow her mother, be quiet and virtuous.Then the eldest grandson empress who wrote "Nv Ze" was considered the most virtuous woman in ancient times. Even if she had a big belly, she still had to find a concubine for Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

"I don't have any concubines, you don't need to prepare."

Master Bai waved his hand and said with a smile.
