Chapter 109
When Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong and Bai Jinzhi came out of the main room of the Longevity Court, it was already snowing heavily outside.
The maidservant carried a lamp and held an umbrella, and walked out slowly with them.
"The eldest sister made me have such a fight with the third sister today. Although the clan of Shuoyang will not dare to trouble us in the future, but the four hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver... It is really aggrieved!" Bai Jinzhi felt angry, " As far as the blood-sucking bugs of the clan are concerned, I would rather use the 450,000 taels of silver to open a porridge shed to help the poor than give it to them."
"There are only girls left in the Duke's Mansion, so let's spend money to buy peace!" Bai Jinxiu smiled and stroked Bai Jinzhi's head.
"However, Mr. Xiao is really righteous!" Bai Jinzhi mentioned Xiao Rongyan, with a bit of admiration in his eyes, "It's really a beautiful figure, completely different from the businessman I've seen before! He looks like a nobleman The son of the family."
Xiao Rongyan was not a real businessman at all, so naturally he didn't smell like copper.
As soon as he left the Longevity Hospital, he saw the little girl holding an umbrella and supporting the nurse in charge of Liu Shi, Nanny Luo, who was in charge, coming in a hurry. Nanny Luo said that Liu Shi sent her to call Bai Jinxiu.
"Eldest sister, third younger sister, fourth younger sister, I will go to my mother first, and then to the mourning hall..."
Bai Qingyan nodded.
After saluting, Bai Jinxiu hurriedly left with Nanny Luo, and kept asking Nanny Luo if her mother, Mrs. Liu, was feeling unwell.
The cold wind was blowing, she looked sideways at her two younger sisters: "I'll go see Ji Tingyu, you go to the mourning hall first."
"Then I'll go with Elder Sister! Little Four...you go to the mourning hall first, you can't do without people there." Bai Jintong pushed Bai Jinzhi away, because he didn't want his sister to see Ji Tingyu's bloody and miserable appearance again.
"Okay..." Bai Jinzhi nodded.
When Bai Jintong accompanied Bai Qingyan to Ji Tingyu's place, Ji Tingyu had already fallen asleep. Dr. Hong said that Ji Tingyu just woke up from the pain, took medicine and fell asleep again.
"I can sleep well!" Doctor Hong, who was sitting in front of the square table and kept watching, touched the goat's whiskers and said, "It won't hurt so much after falling asleep."
Looking at Ji Tingyu lying on the bed as pale as paper, Bai Qingyan came out of the inner room with red eyes, and asked Lu Ping, "Does Ji Tingyu's family know about it?"
"As soon as Ji Tingyu came back today, Steward Hao sent someone to the Zhuangzi to inform Ji Tingyu's sister." Lu Ping nodded and opened the curtain for Bai Qingyan and Bai Jintong.
"Shouldn't someone be sent to inform Ji Tingyu's parents, wife and children?" Bai Jintong asked.
Lu Ping stood on the corridor and said slowly: "When Zhangzhou was plagued by bandits, Ji Tingyu's father died, and his mother died five years ago. Ji Tingyu just married his wife in the early twelfth lunar month, but the daughter-in-law is still young... The stewards sent by Housekeeper Hao are afraid of Ji. There are no elders in the family, and the new daughter-in-law can't stand it. So she rushed to Ji Tingyu's brother-in-law's house and talked to his sister."
Bai Qingyan nodded, fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Ping and said, "Uncle Ping has one more thing, I need you to do it quietly."
"The eldest girl orders!" Lupine clasped his fists.
"I reckon that early tomorrow morning, my family cousin Bai Qiyun will leave for Shuoyang with a silver ticket in his pocket." She lowered her eyes and caressed the stove in her hand, and said slowly, "You pick ten loyal, reliable, martial arts warriors, Gao Qiang, with a tight tongue, followed him quietly, and when they approached the border of Shuoyang, let them pretend to be bandits and rob Bai Qiyun."
Bai Jintong was taken aback for a moment: "Sister?!"
"Yes!" Lupine responded.
"Uncle Ping, please go pick someone now, and come to Yifeng Pavilion and talk to me after you pick someone."
After Lupine cupped his fists, he left in a hurry.
"I thought that the eldest sister asked me to have such a scene with Xiao Si, just to make a name in front of the world, to save face, and then give the money to the clan. Xiao Si is not happy about this. . " Bai Jintong had a smile in his eyes, he really looked like Xiaosi in his act of robbing.
Just thinking of Bai Qiyun crying after being robbed, Bai Jintong felt relieved.
"You need words, you need face, you need benefits, otherwise I'm sorry you and Xiao Si have worked so hard." Looking at Lu Ping's back in a hurry, she said to Bai Jintong, "It's said that poor families get rich, can you Four hundred and fifty thousand taels more, remember to thank Bai Qiyun, the uncle of the clan..."
"Eldest sister said so."
Seeing the snow falling all over the ground, she turned around and asked Bai Jintong solemnly: "Are you... planning to go to sea?"
Bai Jintong has been thinking about this every day since he came back from the small palace banquet.
If it wasn't for the emperor's question to the eldest sister in front of the palace, if there weren't all the men from the Bai family who would destroy Nanjiang, she would be very willing to follow the path arranged by her grandmother and slowly accumulate dark money for the Bai family.
But that day when he looked at Xiao Rongyan, the number one richest businessman in Wei who was sitting behind King Qi, he finally understood that wealth... can reach heaven.
Bai Jintong didn't know how the elder sister planned for the future of the Bai family, but she could sense the elder sister's intention to deter the royal family from the few words the elder sister said.
Otherwise, why did the eldest sister stir up troubles in this city and persecute the emperor with the feelings of the people and the anger of the people?
The elder sister... From the beginning to the end, she never mentioned that she would be loyal to the imperial power of the Lin family.
Therefore, Bai Jintong guessed that the elder sister would never hand over the military power of the Bai family.
When the Bai family holds the military power and is rich as an enemy! Then what will her Bai family look like in this Great Jin...and even the world?
Bai Jintong really wanted to see this day.
That day in the Qinghui Courtyard, the elder sister told her that it was her fortune and the Bai family's fortune to achieve what she could achieve with her talents. Therefore, she must spare no effort to seek that monstrous wealth and to lay a solid foundation for the future....
There are some things that Bai Qingyan has never shared with Bai Jintong, but Bai Jintong is wise and quick-witted, and he knows in his heart how the Bai family should go in the future.
"Wealth comes from danger, there is no such thing as wealth in vain in this world." Bai Jintong stood with his hands behind his back, with a bit of sassy look in his brows, "Going to sea is extremely risky, but the profits are too tempting! Let me tell you the truth... I have sent more than half of the stewards assigned to me by my grandmother to go to Haikou to buy ships and hire people. Once the 15th is over, I will personally lead people to search for goods. The cargo ships will not be empty every time. As long as God favors, it will take up to five years ...Jin Tong dare not talk about the world, but he has the confidence to become the number one richest businessman in Dajin."
She looked at her three younger sisters, feeling a lot in her heart.
Fortunately, they were born in the Bai family of the Duke's Mansion. Their grandfather and father never underestimated them because they were daughters. They learned nothing less than men, and they lacked the weakness of women and the fear of this world. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit to subdue the world.
"My father once had a staff member surnamed Liu. His ancestors lived by the sea. He has a set of ancestral ability to predict the weather. He is very powerful. I ask him to come out to help you." Bai Qingyan took Bai Jintong's hand and walked out from the steps .
