Chapter 165
"correct"

Mr. Fei suddenly said, "Xu Zhizhou received a document from Yuandu a few years ago, saying that a severe winter is predicted this year, and they are asked to take precautions. If there are bones that freeze to death, they must be buried in time."

Bai Fu nodded, "That's good. It seems that the imperial court is also very concerned about people's livelihood, which is a good thing."

After half an hour.

Xiaoliang and Xiaosi came back, and the two of them had weird faces again, pushing each other in front of Bai Fu, and letting each other talk.

"Xiao Liang, tell me." Bai Fu directly named Xiao Liang.

"It is true that someone came to propose marriage." Xiao Liang had no choice but to speak first, "But it is not to marry you, but to want you to be the door-to-door son-in-law."

Bai Fu blinked and blinked, and was silent for a while.

When the son-in-law came to visit, she suddenly remembered the treatment of the rice shopkeeper in the Tang's shop. This didn't seem like a good choice.

After thinking about it, he shook his head violently.

Hey, what are you thinking, she is not a real man!

"Very good, that means I haven't been exposed." She said for a while, then turned to look at Mr. Fei and Xiao Si, "Is it so straightforward for you to find a son-in-law here?"

It's too fierce for parents to come directly to ask for a son-in-law with a matchmaker's dowry.

Xiaoliang and Xiaosi said that they were just children and didn't understand, and then the three of them looked at Mr. Fei together.

Suddenly his eyes focused on himself, Mr. Fei was also taken aback, thought for a while and shook his head which was a rare sight.

"This is also the first time I have encountered such a thing."

Also, how could someone be a son-in-law in this kind of noble family circle, Bai Fu had no choice but to ask:

"Which family is the girl from?"

Xiaosi answered neatly this time, "It's Miss Ling'er from the Huang family in the east of the city."

It really is her, Bai Fu actually vaguely guessed it, so he said in a somewhat helpless tone:
"That little girl. I think she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Why are you so anxious at such a young age?"

in a hurry?

Xiao Si tilted her head in confusion, "It's too late, don't worry."

Her cousins, who didn't get engaged when they were young, who looked like Xiaobai, an old girl with the self-confidence of a baby.

Bai Fu snorted, pinched Xiaosi's pink and tender nose, and shook it, "Don't imitate her in the future, you're still a child at fifteen or sixteen, what's the rush, it's best to think about getting married when you're an adult."

Why did it suddenly come to me!
Xiao Si suddenly blushed, "Who wants to get married!"

Seeing her shy look, Bai Fu couldn't help laughing, "Your father is rich, as long as he doesn't dislike him, he doesn't have to marry."

Mr. Fei: "."

Although he never thought about letting his daughter get married early, but not marrying. Suddenly, he seemed to realize a problem that has been ignored by everyone.

Did Xiaobai really never think about getting married?

He looked at Bai Fu.

This gaze was automatically interpreted by Bai Fu as resentment from her benefactor, she stopped laughing suddenly, and coughed twice:

"Since they're gone, I'd better go back and ask Aunt Le directly."

"Father! Mother!"

Huang Ling'er, who was walking around at the gate of the yard, saw her parents come back, she greeted her with joy, "How is it?"

"Say no."

Master Huang Er said this calmly, and walked into the house.

Huang Ling'er was stunned for a moment, saying she's not there?

Is it there, or is it not?

Combined with Mr. Bai's attitude of avoiding her these days, Huang Ling'er consciously chose the former, with a look of annoyance on her face.

It seems that Brother Qiuyang didn't lie to her. Mr. Bai really has no intention of getting married at the moment, but Mr. Bai is such a good man, what if he is seduced by other girls?
Let's not talk about Yun Qi's number one enemy who clings to Mr. Bai all day long.

But she heard that the Huang family was a deadly enemy——
Cheng family.

He also inquired about Mr. Bai openly and secretly. In order to oppose the Huang family these years, the Cheng family had often deliberately opposed the Huang family.

With the strength of the Cheng family, it will be a matter of time to find out about Mr. Bai. At the beginning, the Cheng family and the Huang family had feuded because of their marriage, and the Cheng family also had many daughters.
She Huang Ling'er is not such a passive person!
It's said that women chase men's interlayer gauze, but she doesn't believe it. With her unremitting efforts, Mr. Bai can't be tempted!

Originally, she wanted to ask her father to help Mr. Bai, so that as business went on and on, the more contacts she got to know, the more she would naturally understand.

At that time, she would go to Master Bai more often to let him know that she is good, and no matter how bad it is, she can have a long-term relationship. When Master Bai wants to get married, he will naturally think of her first.
She planned it like this, but after listening to her father, he said, why bother, it's not his second master Huang's style to scratch his head, just show the greatest sincerity of the Huang family.

What is the greatest sincerity of the Huang family?
Naturally, it's a matter of marriage.

Huang Ling'er was surprised and delighted at the same time, surprised that her father's operation was too aggressive, and happy that her father accepted Mr. Bai!

You must know that at the beginning, Dad looked down on Mr. Bai for being a small family with no background, but then suddenly changed his mind for some reason.

In the final weighing, Huang Ling'er felt that it would be better for her father to come forward, what if Mr. Bai agrees?
Wouldn't that be once and for all.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree, just go slowly according to the original plan.

Brother Qiuyang said that Mr. Bai is not well-off now, if the Huang family sincerely helps, is there any reason for refusing to cooperate?
Mrs. Huang Er took her daughter's hand and patted it gently with a look of doting on her face.

"Ling'er, don't worry, and there's no need to get angry. Mr. Bai is such a shrewd person. Your father and I didn't expect to succeed today, but we just went to test the word."

That's it, it's good that Mom and Dad didn't feel offended by being offended, Huang Linger heaved a sigh of relief.

"How's it going?"

Mrs. Huang Er smiled meaningfully.

"Our Ling'er has a good eye! This Mr. Bai, besides being shrewd, is also a man of integrity. It is worth our time and attention."

If the young master complied today, they would be worried.

They wanted a visiting son-in-law, but they didn't like certain temperaments of the visiting son-in-law. Although Mr. Bai didn't show up today, as soon as the two children appeared, they knew that Mr. Bai was nearby.

Thinking of seeing that house in someone's house today, Second Madam Huang's eyes became even more smiling. She had already found out that Mr. Bai had designed the yard himself and asked someone to build it. When she saw it today, she really was a wonderful person.

There are also those strange furniture. She heard other wives mention the other day that there is a shop in the town for sale, with the sign of Detian Pavilion on it. If you want to buy it, you have to make an appointment.

"Then it's hard work, father and mother!"

Huang Xian'er shook Mrs. Huang's arm and said coquettishly, "Mr. Bai is the best man I have ever seen."

Mrs. Huang Er sighed, and said to Mr. Huang Er:
"People say that women's colleges are not accepted, but this time, seeing is believing."

Master Huang Er was drinking tea and stroked his beard. He didn't respond to this sentence, but said:
"On the way back, I saw a coal truck coming out of the village. I asked the villagers, and they said that Mr. Bai brought in a lot of coal yesterday. It seems that our son-in-law is going to make a fortune again."

Everything is afraid of people with a heart.

With the foundation of his Huang family in Bailu Town, Bai Fu has been thoroughly investigated in a short period of time.

Master Huang Er didn't expect that the blacksmith's shop, carpenter's shop, tiler's shop, perfume shop, and coal shop, which are the busiest businesses in the town, are more or less related to Baifu, even the adjacent shops on the left and right of Detian Pavilion. with light.

He also found out that Mr. Benzi named Tang Huhu also had a close relationship with Mr. Bai.

He asked his family's bookstore to send all Tang Huhu's brochures, and looked at them carefully, and the more he read them, the happier he became——
This kid is definitely a business minded.

He actually thought of using this kind of stories that women like to promote the things in his shop, giving extra meaning to the humble snacks and small items that are not on the table, and made those ladies and wives scramble to buy them.

And his house wine.

As soon as he entered Xiaoxi Village today, the smell of wine lingered in his nostrils. He asked someone to ask. The people guarding the door were all attracted by the smell of wine, but unfortunately they couldn't buy it.

Doing business for the sake of others begging to buy, in Daye Country, except for those with a big background and big gimmicks, it is really rare.

If this brain is used in his Huang family's business, Mr. Guo smiled.

Make big money?
Hearing this, Huang Ling'er's eyes lit up, and the heart that was a little worried because Detian Pavilion was not open for business instantly felt relieved.

"That's great! Sister Xian'er just said that the honeycomb briquettes that the mansion bought before are used up, so I'll tell them to hurry up and buy them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his skirt and called the girl and ran out.

Mrs. Huang Er smiled and shook her head, and also sat down.

"My lord, it's too early for you to call out son-in-law, riding a dragon fast. Judging by today's posture, our son-in-law is not happy."

Having said that, there was not much dissatisfaction in Mrs. Huang's tone.

Their business is so big. Over the years, they have met not only tens of thousands of businessmen with the master, but also thousands of them. Naturally, their vision of people is not so limited.

What a family like them needs is not just a son-in-law who can stand on the stage, but a career heir who can protect her daughter for the rest of her life.

And Bai Fu was the right candidate in their minds.

Master Huang Er let out a sigh.

"This kid is still too young. As the saying goes, it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep it. He has just started and has not experienced setbacks. He doesn't know that the world is difficult."

Mrs. Huang Er was also a merchant, and she knew the twists and turns, so she nodded in agreement.

Let's not talk about how many difficulties the Huang family went through when they started their business, that is, their second wife went out to start a business, with the Huang family's foundation behind them, and they were often tricked by others.

This world is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

It is not uncommon for merchants with good resources but no background to be unable to keep their business and be robbed by competition.

Moreover, the status of the merchant is low, so not only will it not be fair to sue the government, but it will also be stripped of its skin. It is a great fortune not to end up with a broken family.

But the Huang family is different.

The Huang family first had the merits of being a dragon, and then the Concubine Fu spread money in the palace to buy people's hearts.

Mr. Huang was even more foresighted. He selected many talented people who were not from merchants from other clans, and gave them full support for their studies in the imperial examination. Now these people are in their prime, and they are distributed in various real power departments in the court, which has added a lot of help to the Huang family.

Now, only the other two of the three imperial merchants can give the Huang family a loophole——
The Sheng family from His Majesty's faction, and the Qiao family from the Regent's faction.

Oh, and there is also the Cheng family who fights with them all day, but this is nothing to be afraid of, so let's not mention it for now.

Which faction is their Huang family?
The Huang family is not of any faction. They have been trained by their ancestors. Their Huang family does not stand in line. They are friendly with His Majesty and the Regent, and no one will be offended.

Aunt Yu immediately knew that coal had arrived in Detian Pavilion, but his family's coal was still far away, so she hurried to find Mr. Guo.

Master Guo also got the news and left before Aunt Yu arrived.

He is also anxious, but what's the use of being anxious about this matter!

He was in a hurry to go out today, and he didn't have time to make an appointment. After thinking about it, he went to Xiaoxi Village, thinking about going to the coal workshop to have a look.

When passing by the Detian Pavilion restaurant, he saw a group of people squatting outside the courtyard wall, discussing something enthusiastically, so he also got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the young man who had been gossiping with him before entering the bookstore next to the store, hurriedly said twice and quickened his pace to follow.

Bai Fu came to see how the brochures were copied.

Deng Yuanbai showed him a tall stack of papers in the corner, "Are these enough?"

Bai Fu flipped through the paper, but didn't answer, and said after a long while:

"Are any of you good at drawing?"

After all, illiteracy was the mainstream in ancient times. Although literate people can read to them, it is better to be able to understand it by themselves.

Deng Yuanbai and the others exchanged glances.

"What kind of painting?"

Bai Fu drew a few simplified pictures at random, "It's similar to this simple one, but it should be simple, clear and easy to understand."

Is this kind of simple line counted as painting?

The corners of their mouths twitched, but they didn't dare to show it, "We can try this."

Bai Fu explained a few words and left, walked to the door and bumped into Mr. Guo who was walking towards him.

"Are you also here to smell the wine, kid?" Master Guo had a happy expression on his face when he met someone of the same kind.

Bai Fu smiled lightly.

Because the shop was not open, the two sat down in the pavilion at the door and chatted.

Master Guo has been suffocated at home these days, and at this moment he is eager to confide, seeing that Bai Fu is the same age as Guo Liulang, he talks about his parenting experience earnestly.

The more Bai Fu listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

How could the unfilial son in this old man's mouth be so similar to someone she knew?

They all left home when they were young, and it was hard to come back because they were greedy for playfulness and gossip, in order to avoid saying that they would never come back in the new year
Bai Fu looked at Master Guo strangely, and looked at him quietly.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this master was somewhat similar to Guo Liulang, in terms of eyebrows, eyes, and nose.
It wouldn't be so coincidental.

"Maybe there are some difficulties?"

When Master Guo once again complained about his son's unfilial piety, Bai Fu said a lot.

Master Guo did not refute, and sighed:
"It's not that you don't have a mouth. If you have difficulties, you can't speak well? You young people don't know that your parents are suffering."

Bai Fu: "."

The version she heard in the He family was not like this.

After being tortured for a while, Bai Fu found an excuse to slip away, but Master Guo didn't keep him, and got into the carriage and left.

Bai Fu watched Master Guo leave, turned around and entered the food shop through the door on the side of the bookstore, and found a big girl to ask what Master Guo looked like, and then he was sure that the person was really Master Guo.

This is too unexpected.

Guo Liulang, the boring gourd, actually has a dad who loves to gossip.

The two people here were talking, when someone knocked on the door of Detian Pavilion, Da Ya opened the door and saw that it was the young novice from Detian Temple.

Knowing that you can't buy Double Happiness, the little novice came to buy peach blossom wine.

Bai Fu rolled his eyes and whispered a few words in Da Ya's ear, Da Ya fetched a pot of peach blossom wine and handed it to the little novice, "If the temple needs it, the shop can send someone to deliver it for free on a regular basis, and if you buy more, there will be a discount. "

The mountain road from the temple to the shop is not easy to walk, and the little novice was not willing to come. Hearing that he could send someone to deliver it for free, he agreed immediately.
