Chapter 960

November is over in a blink of an eye, and the countdown to the Chinese New Year is coming after the twelfth lunar month. Everyone is preparing for the most lively festival of the year.

The imperial court's decree came down, Gu Yun and Gong Changji, carrying gifts, ran for a trip in the severe cold, and personally went to Balidu Guanzhuang to discuss the details of the lease with the manager there. The grandson of the prince came here in person, which gave him enough face. Naturally, all the following things can be discussed. Bai Kou got everything he wanted, and Guanzhuang also agreed to arrange manpower. Collect spores at a later date.

This matter was not concealed deliberately in the capital, and the fact that the imperial decree was drafted and issued could not be concealed from others. After it spread to the people, everyone praised and envied this unique business. Getting the business of distributing edible mushrooms, the illiterate people all said that this idea was bold. Bai Kou, who came up with this idea, once again received all kinds of attention. There are countless people.

Fortunately, the wise words of the sage prevented Bai Kou from being harassed by outsiders. Whom Bai Koo would choose as her husband had to be discussed after the palace examination. The young and promising Jinshi was the first choice.

A good man matches a good woman, it's as simple as that, if you want to marry Bai Kou, the children of the clan and aristocratic family have to prove that they are worthy of him by their own ability.

The official media took action again, handing out name cards to Prince Cheng’s mansion, saying that the young man they introduced must be a new Jinshi next year, so they will take advantage of it first, so that they are familiar with each other. I didn't even look at it, and threw it in a drawer with the ones I collected before, and the drawer was almost full.

Mrs. Ning wrote a letter to her daughter, telling her that the shops she wanted were successfully bought, and the government also made arrangements. She only said that the buyer was an anonymous buyer and would not reveal the identity of the buyer to prevent people from passing by. If you think about it more, all the businesses you did before are also closed down, and Bai Kou will make arrangements for it in the future.

The patriarch sold a lot of shops this time, it seems that he really owed a lot of debts, and the price of the debt repossessed by the government is always several percent lower than the market price. He came here for cheap, Bai Xiaoyan never thought that Bai Kou was involved in it, he only knew that this time the family property had shrunk, he was pointed at the nose and scolded countless times by the clansmen who flocked to the house, and he was so annoyed that he drank his sorrow every day.

Just at this time, when Bai Xiaoyan heard about the two incidents with Bai Kou, his eyes turned red with anger. The whole family on their side was affected by Bai Yehong's mistakes back then and they are not doing well today. However, the girl who eliminated the family was in trouble.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Bai Xiaoyan became, and he decided to sue Bai Kou, demanding that she compensate her grandfather Bai Yehong for the loss caused to the clan after the accident. He believed that this was owed to them by his uncle's house, which had been owed for almost ten years!It's time to pay off the debt!

The government received the pleadings and filed a case. They sent a government official to notify Bai Kou to respond to the lawsuit. Afterwards, they sent someone to copy a copy of the pleadings and send them to the palace. This file and the bottom file of the Bai family's shop that was recently sold due to business debts.

After reading the copy of the pleadings and the files, the sage gave a reply, ordered Fu Yin to rule in favor of the plaintiff, and ordered Bai Kou to pay a thousand taels of 800 taels of silver to settle the lawsuit.

Bai Kou didn't panic when he received the notice. He had been the plaintiff several times, and it didn't matter if he was the defendant once.

Gu Yun became impatient, and rolled up his sleeves to send someone to beat Bai Xiaoyan's sap. In terms of seniority, Bai Rui and Bai Kou are both his nieces. He didn't come forward when the clansmen helped, but now that Bai Kou is doing well, the debt collection is so fast.

Both Gong Changji and Bai Kou persuaded Gu Yun to stay calm and not to be impatient. The prince sent his own housekeeper to respond to Bai Kou's case. The lawsuit was not open to the public. Bai Yehong's first family has been greatly implicated and has not recovered until today. Bai Kou is the best child in the family, so she should compensate the family for the loss of the family, so she was awarded 800 taels of compensation.

The butler was dumbfounded, and went back to the house to report the letter. Ning Peilan boldly took 800 taels of silver and asked the butler to close the case. The two sat in the upper room and discussed while drinking tea.

Ning Peilan couldn't figure out how such a result could be. Apart from being surprised at the beginning, Bai Kou had calmed down now.

"It's okay. It's good to lose this lawsuit. It's completely settled. I have compensated for the losses for so many years. Bai Xiaoyan has no reason to trouble my sisters. He can use my name and use the signboard of the Bai family to open a new one for them. business, but he can no longer dictate to my sisters as an elder.”

"But you paid twice. You bought the shop they sold earlier, and you lost the lawsuit again."

"It doesn't matter. What I prefer is that they don't want to disturb my life. A lawsuit is the best way to solve this matter. As for whether they will use my name to do business for themselves, I wish they would do so. "

"why?"

"Scam." Bai Kou smiled slyly, "If they want to use my cover, I will let them do it. When they really start their business, I will sue them for fraud, and then publicly announce that in fact, as early as my grandfather's day Fang was expelled from the family, and I told them that the whole family would not be able to get along in the capital."

"It turns out that your backhand is waiting here."

"Of course, how easy is it to take advantage of me? If they don't want to harass my sister first, but directly file a lawsuit with me, I will pay the money and I will pay the money. They will have nothing to do with each other in the future. I am willing to give the money. But they harassed Bai Rui first, and all my methods now are just in case. Prevention in the early stage is always more economical than remediation afterwards. Besides, this is a fraud in itself, so it is still my sister The identities of the two elders deceived the creditors into thinking that they could marry Bai Rui, this is kindness, and they didn't file a lawsuit based on this, otherwise Bai Xiaoyan would have lost face a long time ago."

"As the patriarch's Dazong, he still wants to take advantage of the ex-clan members who have been expelled from the clan. The clansmen are arguing, and they can't even be the patriarch in this house." Ning Peilan understood that Bai Kou had already dug a hole to wait for Bai Xiaoyan. Jumping down, it's none of her business anyway, she'll just watch the excitement once in a while.

"Anyway, it's the New Year's Eve recently. After finishing my business, I'm still idle. I'll dig a hole to play with people."

Ning Peilan smiled, changed the subject, chatted with Bai Kou about the Chinese New Year, and gave her a few invitations that she received today.

There are really too many entertainments. Before the lease of Guanzhuang, Bai Kou seldom came out to participate in business entertainment, and the elders were not willing to have a drink with Bai Kou at the same table, but now everyone is scrambling to invite her, and Take pride in having her, as if her presence would add luster to the party.

Bai Kou put her airs on full display, out of the ten invitations she liked only one or two or two or three.

As a commoner woman who can chat with saints in the imperial study room, it is not so easy to invite her to a banquet.
