First Empress Merchant

Chapter 218 The Veiled Woman (2)
Having said that, Bai Xiaoxu was overjoyed, rolled his eyes, and tentatively said: "Well, the silver for jewelry is only... 200 taels, bro, will you pay for your sister?"

In fact, including the discount given by the shopkeeper, five sets of jewelry and five bracelets are only 130 five taels. However, she is worried that similar things will happen in the future, and it will be embarrassing if she can't get the money. There is not so much money, as long as he is willing to ask for it, my mother will scold him at worst, and will give it to him in the end, which is better than asking for it by herself. I will definitely be pulled out of the skin, and the silver may not be given. Woolen cloth.

"What? What jewelry needs 200 taels? Sister, you really..." Bai Jingqi's face changed when he heard the amount, and Bai Xiaoxu interrupted him before he finished speaking.

Bai Xiaoxu pushed Bai Jingqi lightly, then looked left and right, saw that not many people were looking at them, and then said: "Brother, keep your voice down! Yes, I know that I did it recklessly, but I also did this out of concern for our family's face. Although I don't know how that woman knew about our family's current situation, we have just come here after all, and we haven't started to make a difference yet, so we are treated like this. If the news spreads, it will be very difficult for my Bai family to gain a foothold here, right?"

Bai Jingqi thought for a while, and felt that what she said made some sense, but she was still worried about the money, and after hesitating for a moment, said: "Sister, this matter... Brother Wei thinks that you should talk to your mother, not because of Brother is reluctant to part with money, hey, you don’t know what’s going on with our family, you only saved more than 100 taels of silver for brother’s frugality, and you plan to save it for future marriage, you can’t let brother have some money Don’t you have any? Don’t worry, Brother Wei will definitely say a few more good words for you! Speaking of this, who is the lady of that woman? Sister, have you found out clearly? Hmph, see you again in the future, I, Bai Jingqi, will definitely meet you She has a good theory!"

I don't know if it's his fault for being too stingy, or if he gets angry when he mentions that woman, Bai Xiaoxu rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Who knows who that woman is from! Hmph, what a day, and go out wearing a veil, according to me Look, that woman is either too ugly, or a woman from a place of fireworks, otherwise why don't you dare to show your true colors?"

Bai Jingqi frowned subconsciously when he heard the words, "Wearing a veil? Why is it a woman wearing a veil again? My brother and sister really don't fit in with a woman wearing a veil."

Bai Xiaoxu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about bro? What is a woman wearing a veil? Could it be that you also met a woman wearing a veil today? You said that the characters are incompatible, what did she do to you? "

Bai Jingqi shook his head, "It's not today, didn't I come here two months ago to deliver a batch of dyes ordered by others, who would have thought that the man thought that I was late, so I returned all the dyes, I always think about it I can’t just go home without earning a penny, so I went to the market here, but unfortunately, no one was willing to accept it after a few days, and when Brother Wei was about to leave, he happened to meet two men and a woman who asked for money. To buy a large amount of dyes, I must have a good talk with them. One of them is obviously willing to do business with our family, but it is the woman wearing a mask. Of course, brother couldn't agree, so he talked to her again, but she turned around and left, causing brother to be scolded by his father when he returned home! Speaking of those three people, they happened to be from Liyuan Villa. In Liyuan Villa, Brother Wei went to look for those three people, but unfortunately, he didn't find any of them."

Bai Xiaoxu fell silent when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke again: "Brother, I heard that the owner and family of Liyuan Villa happened to go to a different place on the day we stayed, and you asked If you don't get to those three people, guess...then those three people will be the three from the owner of Liyuan Villa? In this way, it's only natural that you can't find them, isn't it?"

Bai Jingqi shook his head again and said: "It's hard to say, after all, they didn't buy dyes from our house. Although the color of the dyes used in Liyuan Villa is very close to ours, it is also possible that the dyes here were bought after seeing our swatches. It was developed by myself, I went to the market yesterday, and almost every dye shop has those colors, well, since I didn’t see those three people appearing in Liyuan Villa with my own eyes, I have no way to confirm their identities.”

"Brother, from what you said, I think those three people are from Liyuan Villa, and the woman wearing the veil you and I saw is definitely the same person. In this way, Liyuan Villa, Zhuo Shifu... Brother! My sister, I'm afraid I've fallen for their way!" Bai Xiaoxu's concern was obviously only this, and the previous words were just a foreshadowing.

Bai Jingqi frowned again, "Impossible? Not to mention the identities of those three people, in the past two days we have been here, we have seen many women wearing veils, and there are also many veiled women The stall here said that the sun in the northwest is very poisonous, and that wearing a veil is just for women who love beauty to avoid getting sunburned. Isn’t it too far-fetched for you to say that?”

Regarding the veil, someone asked Lu Lishi why she had to wear a veil when she went out. Lu Lishi replied that it was for sun protection. Therefore, people with business minds started to buy and sell this veil, and then through the famous Li Yuan The small owner of the villa often wears it as a gimmick, but it has led a trend of women wearing veils when they go out.

Bai Xiaoxu clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, and had to explain patiently: "Brother, I thought it was strange at first, why did that woman act like that behind my self-reported house, but now that I think about it, it must be her family. It’s only because we have a holiday with our family. Think about it, it’s true that our family has a status in Zhongnan, but it’s two provinces away from here. How can ordinary people pay attention to our family? Doesn't matter if she is or not, sister, I can only talk to my mother like this now, and say that the people in Liyuan Villa deliberately asked someone to trust me, which made me fall into such a big trap, otherwise my mother would definitely pick me up No skin!"

Bai Jingqi was still hesitant, "This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate? It is said that the owner of Liyuan Villa has an unusual relationship with His Royal Highness Yang. If your mother fell out with Liyuan Villa because of this, you let our family come and go for a hundred How do people deal with it? You might as well tell your mother the truth, as a brother, I believe that your mother will think of our Bai family's face and won't criticize you more."

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxu tugged his sleeve lightly, then lowered his eyes and said: "Brother, it's not like you don't know your mother's temper. She only has money in her eyes, so why would she care about the face of the Bai family? You just Help me, you can't just watch me being bullied and then being beaten and scolded by my mother, can you?"

Regardless of the identity of that woman, as long as she can persuade her brother to help her, she doesn't care about the rest.Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that men are superior to women since ancient times, she wouldn't waste so much saliva on this elm head that can never achieve great things. Besides, that woman, she wished that she had nothing to do with Liyuan Villa, otherwise this hatred Is she afraid that she will never be able to report it for the rest of her life?
