Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 240 Deception from Fujingtang
Inexplicably, Bai Shao felt sorry for Gu's loneliness and desertion.

Even though she knew that this was not her home and that the Bai family only lived here temporarily, she still added many warm things while trying not to change the layout of the house.

For example, in the barren land, she ordered people to plant colorful flowers.

For example, in a rockery with no running water, she added clear water and two fish into it.

Unlike the White Mansion they bought in Liushan Hutong, Xieyang County, the Gu Mansion is a real big mansion.

How big is it?

In just one mansion, there are five or six courtyards. In these five or six courtyards, there are main rooms and side rooms. The layout is somewhat similar to that of the old Bai family house in Shilipu, but it is more complicated than the old Bai family house.

Moreover, in addition to these yards, the Gu Mansion also has at least three gardens, a pond, three pavilions, and two study rooms.

And these are just the backyard.

Considering that this is someone else's house after all, Bai Shao's family chose a small, well-regulated, slightly off-location yard to live in, and the others didn't touch anything.

The servant girl lived in the wing room, and the servant lived in a corner of the front yard. As for Xiuniang and Zhang Yuniang's family, they lived in a smaller yard.

After making some arrangements like this, it was officially settled.

However, Bai Shao did not give up looking for a house to buy. Although it may not be possible to buy a good house, and it may not even be one-fifth of the size of Gu's house, but it belongs to their own house after all, so Bai Shao is very interested in this house. This thing is very caring.

It was Mrs. Wu who kept persuading her not to buy a house again, which made her very confused.

When she wanted to ask why, Wu Shi shut up again, which made Bai Shao very depressed.

But being depressed, she never gave up on buying a house. In addition, Jin Sexiu Manor had to find a place, so she asked Linglong to take her for a walk, and while getting familiar with Yanjing, she searched for a house and shop.

Of course, Bai Wei was unwilling to be left behind, so the three of them would often run around in the streets and alleys, familiarize themselves with the topography of each house, and at the same time look for a shop to sell.

After two or three days of searching in this way, Bai Shaoxiang found an embroidery shop that was going to be sold, and urged Linglong, who was the oldest and most imposing, to ask the price, and after making a lot of money, he took the auction. The board was removed, and the pavement with only three rooms was sold.

Although the place is not big, the price is five times that of Xieyang County, which can make Bai Shao feel bad.

However, the Bai family can still afford the money now, so they signed the deed neatly, passed through Ming Road, and finally paid the money. This shop has belonged to the Bai family within two years.

Afterwards, the rest of the shop, including the making of the plaque, Bai Shao planned to hand over to Bai Chuanbai, plus a newly bought servant who was familiar with Yanjing.

On the day when she got the deed from Minglu, Linglong decided to take Bai Chuanbai and Mrs. Wu out for a meal, which was what she had promised in the carriage.

Wu Shi and Bai Chuanbai refused at first, but they couldn't resist Linglong's eloquent rhetoric, Bai Wei's eagerness to try, and Bai Shao's catalog in anticipation, so they nodded and went.

Because Gu's mansion was originally in the place closest to the imperial city, only two streets away from the busiest street, so the group of people didn't take a carriage, just walked over talking and laughing.

After about a cup of tea, Linglong happily pointed to a restaurant that looked extremely grand and said with a smile, "This is it, Uncle Bai, Auntie, this is one of the three restaurants in Yanjing, called Fujingtang , is a restaurant that has sprung up in the past two years. The taste of its dishes is very unique, which has attracted many people to come here to eat, and it has also made this restaurant, which was only considered a middle-level restaurant in Yanjing, directly become one of the three major restaurants in Yanjing. One of them, and there is a faint tendency to be the leader, which shows how delicious his dishes are. If you have to find a shortcoming, it is a bit expensive, but people in Yanjing have a lot of money, and they are not afraid of anything. Uncle Bai, aunt, Don't be polite to me when you go in, just order whatever you want to eat."

As she said that, Linglong raised her foot and was about to enter the Fujing Hall, but after walking two steps, she found that no one from the Bai family followed.

She hurriedly turned her head to look back, only to see the unbelievable expressions on the faces of the four members of Bai Shao's family.

Linglong was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Uncle Bai, Aunt, Wei Wei, Shao'er, what's wrong?"

"This... this Fujingtang also has one in Xieyang County, don't you know, Sister Linglong?" Bai Wei asked in a murmur.

"Hey, I've only been in Xieyang County for seven or eight days. Besides, the food my aunt cooks is so delicious, I never thought about going out to eat." Linglong scratched the back of her head and said speculatively, "Yes Maybe it's because of a name hit, or...opened a branch?"

"But, we never knew that Fujingtang was a branch." Bai Wei seemed to wake up, and suddenly shouted angrily, "Come on, Shaoer, let's go in and have a look. If the dishes here are similar to those in Xieyang County The same as the Fujingtang, then let's go to Zhao Hu to settle the score, you liar!"

What she said, Linglong became more and more confused, but seeing that Bai Shao and Bai Wei's sisters had serious expressions on their faces, and even Wu, who was always kind, didn't smile, she knew that the matter was not simple, so she didn't say a word followed behind Bai Shao and Bai Wei.

Like Fujingtang in Xieyang County, the mistresses in Fujingtang in Yanjing are still amazingly good. They didn't show any contempt because of the faces of Bai Shao and the others, but greeted them very kindly. Go in and find a private room for them according to Bai Shao's request.

Immediately afterwards, sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei took the black and white menu, looked at it carefully, and then picked out a few dishes to order.

The name of the Fujingtang dish in Yanjing is not as exaggerated as the name of the Fujingtang dish in Xieyang County, but it also has a bit of poetry, which makes Bai Shao unable to tell whether it is the recipe written by himself, so be patient Wait for the food to come.

After about tea time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and then two waiters walked in, one served the food, the other put it on the table, and left with a smile after putting it away.

Bai Shao's complexion has turned livid since he actually saw those vegetables.

When all the dishes were served, her face was as red as a boiled crab.

"Damn it!" Bai Wei was also very angry, she slammed her fist on the table, startling Linglong.

"What's the matter, Wei Wei?" Linglong asked a little puzzled.

"Sister Linglong, you don't know how our family made money in the first place. Although Jinse Embroidery Village makes money, it also requires capital. In the beginning, we made capital. In addition to selling snacks and making food for the sky, It is relying on Shaoer to write recipes for Fujingtang to earn dividends. At that time, we thought that Fujingtang only existed in Xieyang County, but we didn’t expect Yanjing to have it, and Cai Fangzi and Shaoer wrote to Fujingtang in Xieyang County. It's exactly the same! Those people are cheating, they're cheating!" Bai Wei said bitterly.

Linglong will understand now, she glanced at Bai Shao in surprise, "I never thought that Shao'er could cook."

After a while, thinking that she had missed the point, she scratched the back of her head a little shyly, and continued, "I know why you are angry, because that Fujingtang only gave Xieyang County's dividends to Sister Shao'er, but not Giving Yanjing dividends to Sister Shaoer is a deception. If you hadn’t come to Yanjing, you might not have known about it for the rest of your life.”

"Yes, that's right, they lied to us." Bai Wei said angrily, "Shao'er, let's go, let's settle accounts with the shopkeeper, and that Zhao Hu, we can't spare him."

As he said that, he pulled up Bai Shao and was about to rush out.

"Wait a minute." Bai Shao pursed her lips, and held Bai Wei with her backhand, "Sister, we can't go like this. Yanjing is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. We are newcomers and have no foundation, so we shouldn't offend others easily. This matter needs to be dealt with." Think long term."

Although Bai Wei has a somewhat impulsive personality, after growing up over the years, coupled with being influenced by Bai Shao, she is actually much more stable than before.

This time, I was really angry. You must know that the dividends of the Fujingtang in Yanjing may be worth one year of the Fujingtang in Xieyang County in one month.How could she be willing to let go of such a huge amount of money.

But as soon as Bai Shao reminded her, she calmed down and said with a straight face, "Sooner or later, I will settle this account with him."

"Eat first, don't waste it." Bai Shao pursed her lips and sat back in her original position.

Bai Wei reminded her, "Don't give the prescription to Xieyang County next year, let him deceive us!"

"En." Bai Shao nodded and didn't speak, but her thoughts flew back to the scene when Zhao Hu hesitated to speak in Xieyang County.

Perhaps he had expected this moment long ago, but because of his confidence in the power of the owner of Fujingtang, he boldly did not expose this matter, but let Bai Shao find out by himself.

Why?
It's just that he is sure that the white peony root will not make any waves, nor will it shake the foundation of Fujingtang.

As for the slight hesitation to speak, it is probably because of the vulnerable affection cultivated in the past few years.

Oh, affection!

A group of five people finished this very delicious meal silently, Linglong called the waiter to pay the bill, everyone drank a few sips of tea, and when they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a burst of chuckling from the man next door.

It is said to be a man, but it actually has a hint of youth, and it is said to be a boy, but it also has a hint of a young man.

Normally, Bai Shao would not notice this sound.

But this time, the voice gave her a sense of familiarity, reminding her subconsciously of someone who had disappeared for a long time.

A young man who misses Bai Shao a little bit.

"Let's go." Linglong waved to Bai Shao who was walking last in the aisle.

Bai Shao nodded lightly, but she didn't want to leave.

Not only that, she also tilted her head and listened carefully for a while.
