Chapter 967 Xiao Si Finally Got It
When Bai Yunxi heard the news, he shook his head speechlessly. The Jingzhao Mansion making such a big move was just an attitude.
How to check this kind of thing?
Unless someone corrects them, it will be difficult to identify the perpetrators. Or she said that Holly was smart and her timing was really good.
Tao Ruyi was trampled on and heard that her leg was broken. The eldest lady of the Tao family was very angry and directly reported it to Jingzhao Mansion and asked them to find the culprit.
It's a pity that this matter is destined to be fruitless. There are already many people in the lantern festival, and if something happens, it will easily cause riots and there is no way to investigate.
To put it bluntly, at the end of the investigation, it was the Tao family that suffered the most.
Baiyun Xi has been paying attention to the activities in Jingzhao Mansion, and it is exactly as she expected. After a routine inspection of Jingzhao Mansion, a few habitual offenders were caught and the matter was dealt with.
Even the Tao family stopped yelling and could only pinch their noses and suffer the loss of being dumb.
While Xiao Wu was recuperating at home, the government sent a eunuch to bring some condolence gifts, and an imperial physician was also accompanying him.
After some inspection, he gave me a prescription, then got up and left.
In the blink of an eye, the first month passed, and the second child was anxious about farming and wanted to return to his hometown. With so many fields, he was afraid that the elder brother would not be able to take care of it at home alone.
Even Xiaosi had to leave, saying he was going to Henan Prefecture to check out the duck farm and sheep farm.
Especially in the management of restaurants, see if there is any need to adjust.
The two of them devoted themselves to their careers. Bai Yunxi was very pleased.
"Since you all have plans, go and get busy. The weather is still cold right now, so Mrs. Li and the children should stop running back and forth. You can come back after you finish your work."
Anyway, I will settle down in Kyoto from now on. I will sell off part of my hometown's farmland when the time is right, and then purchase a few more farms around Kyoto, and slowly transfer the property.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will go back by myself this time, and Mrs. Li and the child will stay with you."
Bai Anyan chuckled lightly. He had already told his wife about this. She was only responsible for taking care of the children now and didn't have to go back and forth with him.
While several people were talking, Shiliu came over with a post, "Old lady, this is a post from the Xu family."
Xu family?
Bai Yunxi was stunned. That family came to Kyoto?
Looking at the visiting post in his hand, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell the person who sent the post that Madam Xu is welcome to visit."
Mentioning the Xu family, Xiaosi's eyes lit up, "When I set out from Fucheng last year, I got together with Xu Dalang. I think that man has a very business acumen. Talking with him can make people grow."
Baiyunxi did not object to this. The Xu family had been doing business for generations, so they naturally had unique ways of being a businessman.
"Walking with wise men and being in the company of masters can improve your knowledge."
The next morning,
Baiyunxi welcomed Mrs. Xu and her party at the Banyan Tree Hall.
"Greetings to the lady, she may have good luck and good health." Mrs. Xu brought her daughter and eldest daughter-in-law Yang to Baiyunxi to greet her.
"Excuse me, please sit down."
Baiyunxi asked the girl to help him up. After the girl had tea, he spoke gently,
"I was really surprised when I received the post from you. When did you come to Kyoto? Why don't you get any letter at all?"
"Hui Shuren, in fact, my father has always wanted to develop the industry in Kyoto. My Dalang has some talents, and now he can stand alone. The couple of us just wanted him to try his hand... We bought a house in Kyoto last year , but it’s not easy to worry about it when it’s the New Year’s Day. I’m dragging my family here just after the Lantern Festival.”
Ever since the Bai family moved to Kyoto, the eldest son had been interested in coming to Kyoto to try his luck.
Listening to Mrs. Xu's explanation, Bai Yunxi nodded.
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions, and your Dalang is a good young man. Yesterday, my little boy said that if we talk to your Dalang, we will always make progress."
"Oh, that's a good relationship. My two children also like your fourth master, saying that he is a gift from God."
Mrs. Xu said, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled,
"Especially my Erlang, who has studied with his father and brother for so many years, is still not enough in front of the Fourth Master. He has complained to me more than once, saying that God does not favor him, haha..."
Hearing this, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. She had seen Xu Jiaerlang a few times. Perhaps he was supported by his father and brother. He lived a relaxed and comfortable life, and his mind was not on business at all.
The most important thing is that the Xu family allows him to indulge his own preferences. As a family of merchants, they are very liberal parents to be able to do so.
While a few people were talking, Xiao Si rushed to the door excitedly. Fortunately, he also knew to let the girl come in first to report before entering.
"I've met Aunt Xu," Xiaosi bowed and nodded to Yang and Xu Ruier.
Mrs. Xu stood up quickly, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I haven't seen you for several months. The fourth master is really high-spirited."
Hearing the title of Xiaosi, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Mrs. Xu, there is no need to be polite to him. They are all juniors. You can just call him Xiaosi."
Before Mrs. Xu could say anything, Xiao Si smiled and agreed,
"What my mother said is, Aunt Xu, you're welcome. Brother Xu has come to Kyoto. Should I go have a drink with him tomorrow?"
"Then I'll give you a favor and call you An Yi." There is no way, the Bai family is now a family of officials, and the Xu family is a merchant, which is a big difference.
"As long as you don't call me Fourth Master, you can call me whatever you want, Auntie."
Xiao Si smiled naively and glanced at Xu Rui'er, who was smiling happily beside her. The tips of her ears suddenly turned red, which made Bai Yunxi extremely surprised.
"Don't laugh, sister Rui'er. Brother Xu and I have always been brothers, and Aunt Xu is the elder."
"My elder brother bought two shops in Kyoto, and he happened to have an appointment with someone today. Otherwise, he would have come with us. Brother said that he would invite you to drink alone another day."
Xu Rui'er looked at Xiao Si, her face flushed.
"Hehe~, that's good, that's good."
When Xiao Si looked at Xu Rui'er, his usual impetuous energy was restrained by him, and he was a little shy, which made Bai Yunxi's eyebrows jump. Could this kid have come to his senses?
The two looked at each other and separated embarrassedly.
One blushed, and the other wanted to see but felt rude.
Bai Yunxi picked up the teacup, looked at Xiao Si's appearance, and held back his laughter. What a smart person, but he didn't expect that he would become stupid when he met a beautiful girl.
"Hey~, Xiao Si, aren't you going to leave? Go and get ready." Bai Yunxi shook her head, "This kid has been clamoring to go back to the capital to deal with the restaurant a few days ago."
"...Hey,"
Xiao Si came back to his senses, met my mother's eyes, his face turned embarrassed, he bowed to the Xu family, and finally looked at Xu Ruier, turned around and left.
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter's rosy face, her heart moved, picked up the teacup and took a sip, her face thoughtful.
