Chapter 235 No matter how many things happen, take your time

"That's right, so are you willing to be annexed by my son?"

"Shi, Shizi!?" The Li family jumped up again in shock, and then sat down slowly.

"This is the first time for our son to invest in a business. The soap business is a small business. If he loses money, he can bear it. He is now the master of Juren, and he wants to save some property for himself. If you don't want to be annexed, then He had no choice but to find a single house and start a fire, and squeeze all three of your families out of Tianshuifang until they were closed."

"I believe it! I believe it!" Li Fushun nodded again and again, and his family also had no disagreement.

"You are free citizens from generation to generation. If you are willing to be annexed, you will be converted to slavery from now on, so you have to think carefully. If you don't want to, we will never force you."

"This..." As soon as Bai Kou mentioned the change of nationality, the Li family immediately hesitated, and the previous excitement gradually faded away.

Bai Kou took out the pen and paper and wrote a note to Li Fushun.

"Think about it slowly. If you agree, just before this holiday, take this note to Duke Ye's mansion to find me. We will find the Yaman to handle the matter immediately. If you don't want to, throw this note into the fire." I haven't received any reply from you, so I will tell the Shi Ziye to buy the house and start a business."

"Okay, okay, let's think about it, think about it."

"That's how it is. I'll leave first. I'll keep this piece of soap for you. Don't be reluctant. The cost is very cheap. I can make a profit by selling such a large piece of soap for ten cents. Believe it or not?"

The Li family almost fainted, such a heavy soap only sold for ten cents, and the three of them didn't even have enough capital.

"We'll see you off." Li Fushun's voice was dry, and he stood up stiffly.

Bai Kou stopped irritating them, and followed Li Fushun to the courtyard, led Zao Ni, and under his guidance, walked out on another path, without running into Xiao Huang Ji's people chasing after him.

When he was about to return to Shizi Street, Bai Kou ran into a man from Wanwen Bookstore, who enthusiastically welcomed Bai Kou back to the bookstore, and gave her the October calendar that was going to be sent to the Duke's Mansion. The general framework remained unchanged, that is, Some details have been modified and some new content has been added.

"Thanks to the blessing of the family, the booking volume of this notebook is good, and twenty sets will be delivered at the end of next year." The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Thank you then, I wish the shopkeeper's business more prosperous." Bai Kou was equally happy, who doesn't love free things.

"TOEFL, TOEFL."

Bai Kou brought her things back to the mansion, returned the horse in the stable, and walked all the way back to the Zhongming Courtyard. After entering the gate, Aunt Su handed her an envelope and opened it as she walked. It was verified that the couple that day were indeed Bai Yehong's eldest daughter Bai Qiaoyue and eldest son-in-law Tang Lin.

Bai Yehong's family was exiled, and it was time-consuming to check the files. They had to look in the criminal records, but the result was so fast that it could be seen that there was no shortage of money, so the officials were attentive and gave a lot of useful information about Tang Lin and his wife.

Bai Kou sat in her own room and carefully read the contents of the envelope.

Bai Qiaoyue's marriage to Tang Lin at the beginning was indeed a well-matched marriage, but afterwards, Bai Yehong's whole family was exiled. Although the clan and in-laws were not implicated, they were also affected a lot. Tang Lin lost his original position in the Jiaofang Division because of this incident. The errand, in order to support the family, relied on the personnel experience I had learned in the Jiaofang Division, and gradually wandered in a gray area.

In layman's terms, the place where the Jiaofang Division is located is an official brothel, where singers and prostitutes do not sell themselves. In order to make money, Tang Lin collaborated with other people to cheat. At this time, Tang Lin played the role of a person who can solve the problem, pretending to release the girl after some bargaining, and received a reward from her family.

The reason why his deceit was exposed was because some of his accomplices were overheard to make a slip of the tongue after drinking, and they were investigated, which dragged Tang Lin into it, and he was released after a hard time in the yamen. Since then, He became even more unscrupulous and became a frequent visitor to the yamen. He is also a very smart person. Relying on his familiarity with the provisions of the law, he walks on the edge of misdemeanors. At most, he will be punished or fined. Over time, he became a celebrity in certain circles.

After reading the information, Bai Kou threw it on the table, thinking in his mind that if such a smart person wants to use them to kill someone with a knife, he has to make a new plan.

As for the elder status of the eldest aunt and uncle, Bai Kou sneered dismissively. He is a family member of a criminal who did not serve as a servant. Relatives far away from sinful records.

But looking back, the current situation of Tang Lin and his wife, I am afraid that they don't care whether the crime is excused or not.

Bai Kou thinks that as long as they don't develop into difficult relatives, they can use them occasionally to do something, otherwise, they have to ask them to leave.

In the afternoon, the maids brought Bai Kou the latest gossip from the East Kitchen from Ji Chengtang's maid. The second wife even sent a mother-in-law to supervise the kitchen to clean the small kitchen, scolding them bloody, and they had to be punished when they went back after finishing.

The cleanliness and tidiness of the east kitchen has always been the most important thing for the masters. The second wife did not expect to buy four such lazy cooks. It is hard to believe that they are still sisters who eat and sleep at the same table with Bai Kou.

Bai Kou's stomach ached from laughing, and the performance of the four of them was completely within her expectations.

When Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, when he washed his hands and changed his clothes, the maids told him this incident as a joke, Gu Yun couldn't believe it, how could the culinary art workshop teach such an apprentice.

After dinner, Gu Yun said good night to the elders and came back. When he returned to the study to study, he asked Bai Kou to talk.

Bai Kou then took the envelope given by the butler and stepped into Gu Yun's study.

Gu Yun was still sitting on the chair in front of the bookshelf, with his feet resting on the footstool, thinking about the beginning of winter soon, whether to remove the tables and chairs and replace them with imperial concubine couch, which would be much more comfortable for sitting and lying down.

When Bai Kou came in, he saw Gu Yun lowering his head, as if he had a good attitude of pleading guilty.

"What are your orders?"

Gu Yun raised his head and saw Bai Kou standing a few steps away in an orderly manner, with an envelope in his hand, he patted the armrest of the chair.

"Tomorrow, it will be removed and replaced with the imperial concubine's couch. It's time to prepare for the winter."

"Yes, son."

"What are you holding?"

"Check the results."

Bai Kou took a few steps forward and handed the envelope to Gu Yun, but he was not close enough to be caught by him. Gu Yun glanced at her and said nothing.
