Glory all the way

Chapter 133
"Second sister-in-law, have you heard? The old lady pointed out the two householders of the Cui family and the Liao family to Sister Luo as companions."

In Qiu Ranxuan's main room, the fourth lady was peeling a citrus in her hand. After eating a piece, she frowned slightly and put the rest of the citrus on the table.

The second lady was sitting opposite her, drinking tea in an old spirit. After hearing what the fourth lady said, she was taken aback, a little disbelieving, "Who did you listen to? Why didn't I hear anything?"

The fourth lady pursed her lips and smiled, "Now, as long as Sister Luo is involved, will the old man and the old lady take the initiative to tell us a word?"

The second lady nodded in agreement, and curled her lips a little angrily. The fourth lady continued: "There is a woman in my room who has something to do with the Cui family. She mentioned it casually when she came to pay her respects a few days ago, saying that the old lady asked them The boss of the family came to the mansion to ask questions after the new year. The mother-in-law of the Cui family has always had some face in front of the old lady, so she asked at that time. Oh, well, it’s not obvious that it’s for Sister Luo?”

The expression was startled, and it took a long time for the second lady to come back to her senses, and asked with some hesitation: "The Cui family's family is fine, they only take care of those Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing on weekdays, and those Zhuangzi are all registered in the register. Anhou's property. But the Liao's, the shops and workshops in their hands are all dowry by the old lady, could it be..."

Before the second lady could finish her sentence, she opened her mouth as if she could swallow half an egg. Next to her, the fourth lady shrugged with a smile, "Then who knows? The old lady can give it to anyone she wants, Who let girl Luo into her eyes? We are not that lucky..."

As he spoke in a prolonged voice, the eyes of the fourth lady couldn't help but sneak a peek at the second lady.

After a moment of silence, the second lady smiled, "What the fourth sibling said is true. After all, it is the old lady's body. She can give it to whoever she wants. What right do we have to worry about it?"

After all, the second lady turned to mention the excitement during the Chinese New Year and the newly cut clothes.

The Fourth Madam had originally prepared a lot of words, but now that the Second Madam took them lightly, she naturally couldn't say anything more, after a while of fiddling with others, she felt that it was meaningless, so she got up and went back to Chenxi Pavilion.

Seeing the return of the daughter-in-law who sent the fourth lady out, the second lady curled her lips and said with an angry face: "I said, how come I remembered to talk to me, so I had such a heart. Last time when we divided the family property, they So I took a lot of advantage for nothing, and this time, I was counting on me to fight for it, so that they could share a share of it. Do you think I am a fool?"

Having said that, the Second Madam felt more and more uneasy in her heart. When she thought that Bai Yingluo already had a lot of property in her hands, which was many times richer than Bai Yingyun, the Second Madam felt as if she had taken something that belonged to her. Generally upset.

"Hey, if I knew she was a cornucopia, I should have treated her well in the early years, but now... hey..."

Sighing and looking sad, the second wife kept calculating in her heart, thinking how to let the second room join in, even if she couldn't eat, she could just share a piece of the soup.

After hesitating, the second master came back.

"What's the matter? What are you planning?"

Knowing his wife Mo Ruof, the second master looked at his wife's appearance and asked jokingly.

After emphasizing what the fourth lady said to the second master, the second lady became more and more remorseful, "You said, if we had known today, we would have treated her better that day. We can always keep some of these things in our hands. When she got married, she had to think of us, but now..."

The second lady didn't finish her words, but her heart turned quickly because of the word "marry". On the side, the second master waved his hand and said: "If you want to plot against girl Luo's marriage, I think you should take a rest as soon as possible." Men Xinsi, father and mother will not let us manipulate her."

Casting a sideways glance at the second master, the second lady smiled and said, "This time, I'm plotting against her justly."

Saying that, the second lady gave the second master a wink, "Aren't the old master and the old lady planning to find a good marriage for the sixth girl? Then I will help them fulfill their wish, so that no one can find out the reason Come."

Knowing that his wife must have some confidence in what she said, the second master didn't ask any further questions. Taking advantage of her good mood, he said, "I'm 26 today, and the appointments sent by the imperial court are almost done. But there is no news at all here, give me some money, and I will go and ask."

"How much?"

The second lady's face darkened instantly.

"One, 1000 taels."

After stammering, the second master looked at the face of the second lady and said: "Nowadays, the upper-class seats in the private room of Zuixianlou cost 20 taels of silver per table. Isn’t the flower the same as running water? If there is a way, I don’t have to manage it? 1000 taels, I don’t know if it’s enough.”

After pondering for a moment, she felt that if she still controlled the matter of the man outside so strictly, it would not be good to spread her reputation. The second lady nodded and turned to enter the inner room.

The sound of drawing drawers was heard in the room. After a while, the second lady came out and handed some banknotes to the second master, "This is 2000 taels. The master will use it first. If there is a chance, let's make plans."

Overjoyed, the second master originally planned to take the bank note and leave, but now he felt embarrassed.

After taking the bank note and flipping through it to make sure it was clear, the second master hurriedly stuffed it into the armhole, and took advantage of the situation to hold the second lady's hand, "Madam is the best, marrying a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for."

As he said that, the second master looked up at the maid in the room and said: "The dinner is served here, hurry up to the kitchen and add some dishes that Madam likes."

In this room, the second wife has already made up her mind to plot against Bai Yingluo and seek profit for the second room. In the Lanxin Pavilion over there, Bai Yingluo is also tossing and turning thinking of possible solutions.

After dinner, Bai Yingluo already had a preliminary idea.

Let Liu Ying call Bai Xiu in, and Bai Yingluo asked with concern: "Yesterday, I took a rest, did you go out to see your parents?"

Bai Xiu nodded, and replied gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, miss. The slave's parents are in good health. I plan to take my younger brother back to Baijiazhuang to celebrate the new year when the academy closes on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

When mentioning the closure of the academy, Bai Yingluo immediately thought of Du Xuan.

He also wants to go back to Baijiazhuang, right?
After regaining her senses, Bai Yingluo told Bai Xiu her plan: "After the third year of junior high school, I will give you and Da Zhuang five days off. You go back to spend time with your parents and relatives."

Seeing the unbelievable surprise on Bai Xiu's face, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I still have an important matter to tell you to take care of."

"Miss, you said that the servants and Da Zhuang will not hesitate to be smashed to pieces, and they will definitely finish this job well."

Bai Xiu said with certainty.

"The other day I heard you talk about Mr. Tao, and I thought about it. When you leave this time, you take the gift I prepared to Mr. Tao and say that I want to ask him to help me take care of my hands. Some farm shops. Of course, it’s not like letting him run around. He just needs to help me keep an eye on the shopkeepers and guys in the shop, and take care of the overall situation. As for the monthly salary and so on, everything is easy to talk about, I hope Mr. Tao Don't refuse, sir."

Bai Yingluo sorted out her thoughts and said.

Although Bai Yingluo's words were rough, Bai Xiu figured out the key point in an instant.

Although it has only been more than a month since she entered the Jing'an Marquis Mansion as a slave, Bai Xiu is already very clear about Bai Yingluo's situation, and what happened in the past month, even though Bai Xiu has never talked about it with anyone, she still has feelings for her in her heart. Knowing that Bai Yingluo has those things given by Liu Tinghuai and the old lady Bai, there must be a trustworthy person to help take care of all these things.

However, the only thing Bai Xiu doubted was, could Mr. Tao really be able to take on this important task?
However, the duty of a servant is to act according to the wishes of the master, Bai Xiu nodded without hesitation, "Miss, don't worry, the servant and Da Zhuang will definitely go to invite Mr. Tao, once there is news, they will come immediately Call back and don't keep Miss waiting."

Bai Yingluo smiled, "If Mr. Tao is really willing, I will naturally come to invite him in person. Now, it's just throwing stones to ask for directions. If the two of you can really invite him, I will be a little suspicious of him It’s up to you. All you have to do is deliver a message for me, that’s all.”

This time, Bai Xiu completely understood.

After Bai Xiu went out, Chen Xiang asked with some hesitation: "Miss, Mr. Tao is also a stranger to you, maybe it's not as easy as the old people in the shop? You just trust him ?”

In fact, why didn't Bai Yingluo worry in her heart?
However, in an instant, she was relieved, "If you don't try, how will you know?"

Although Bai Yingluo has never met Tao Jianming before, she believes that there must be something special about a person who can grow from a small buddy to become the big shopkeeper of Yongji in just a few years. Chance knows his existence, why not make good use of it and let him use it for yourself?

The fact that Bai Yingluo wanted to hire someone to take care of her property soon spread to the ears of Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai.

The old lady Bai was a little worried, but on the other hand, the old lady Bai persuaded her wife disapprovingly, "Sister Luo is a calculating child, she must be sure of making such a decision, why not let her try it? Employers do not doubt others, if that person is really talented and promoted by Sister Luo, he will be a loyal client in the future, if not, those old people who have been outside will only think of her as a boudoir Weak women, in a few years, all good industries may be ruined."

She had always believed in Mrs. Bai's vision, and what's more, this time she was boasting about her favorite granddaughter. Old Mrs. Bai had no doubt that she had him, so she nodded with some reassurance.
