Chapter 1318 Reminder
Chapter 1318 ·Reminder
Seeing this, the eldest wife quickly spoke up and said, "Oh, isn't he still young? Why are you accusing him of?" She said to Bai Xiuyao again, "Go and go, just treat it as a relaxing moment. But one thing is that you must not take risks, otherwise there will be no next time, do you know?"
Bai Xiuyao naturally agreed happily.
The eldest lady smiled even more gently.
Bai Rongxuan felt that the eldest wife was somewhat similar to her aunt. She was both unconditionally good for her children and was particularly pampered and cared for.
Bai Xiulang stopped talking and asked Bai Rongxuan, "By the way, how is Lixuetang being settled?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "It's almost done. I went to see it a few days ago and even planted the flowers and trees."
Bai Xiulang asked curiously, "What tree have you planted?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "It's pomegranate and longan."
Bai Xiulang smiled and said, "There are trees that need to be carefully cared for, but they are not easy to live. How could I think of planting these two types?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "It was recommended by Uncle Six."
Bai Xiulang smiled and did not continue talking.
Then the eldest wife sent them to the front hall and ordered the servants to bring them some tea and refreshments. Then she said, "You guys are talking about the important things. I'll go to the back stove to keep an eye on it and wait for lunch."
Bai Yuanze couldn't help but say, "You can't live without the pot this day."
The eldest lady glanced at him, "Food is the most important thing for people, isn't eating important?" After saying that, he greeted Bai Rongxuan and then quickly walked out.
Bai Yuanze then talked about the serious matter, "When June 24th is coming, I want to call you over and give me a few more words. At that time, in addition to the old relatives and friends at home, there will be many outsiders to watch the ceremony. The handover place will be in Lixue Hall. If you look back, you will ask Tao Qing to take care of you. I will also go and see it in a few days. However, Lixue Hall has just been repaired, and people are afraid that they can't be able to entertain you. I have asked Lang Ge and Wang Dequan to prepare thirty tables of banquets in the restaurant outside. It's a rough idea that it's enough. If you can't sit still, you can just buy it temporarily.
After dinner, a tailor will come to your house to measure your size. Your aunt means that if you take over the family business, you will be an adult, so you will naturally dress up. What she said makes sense, so I will let her go. After all, there will be many people coming that day. We are too shabby and will be despised, which will not help you walk in the future. Logically speaking, this kind of major event that concerns your life, you should have asked your uncle's family to come to see the ceremony, but after communicating with your mother, she means that when she entrusted the family business to the Foreign Minister's House, she did not pass the Tang family, and now the Tang family is not easy to participate, so she has full power to hand over to me for disposal."
It turned out that my mother knew about this.
Bai Rongxuan nodded, "Of course I will listen to my uncle."
Bai Yuanze smiled, "As for the matters in the accounts such as the banquet, I have asked Wang Dequan to find someone to record them, so that they can be calculated clearly at that time. Don't make any trouble in the end and make people laugh."
Bai Rongxuan said, "This is nature."
Bai Yuanze said, "Is there anything you have seen when I go to Yangzhou with Master Min Liu this time?"
Bai Rongxuan whispered, "I was a little uncomfortable when I first arrived in Yangzhou, so I didn't go out much and kept recuperating at home."
Bai Yuanze said, "Your body is too weak. In the future, the company will run around and travel north and north, but it will be much harder than now. Why not take advantage of this time to take good care of yourself, otherwise what will happen in a few years?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "Yes, I will definitely take care of myself."
Bai Yuan explained with concern, "In ancient times, gentlemen had six arts, even archery and horse racing. Although the times are different now, we cannot ignore the strength of our bodies."
Bai Rongxuan agreed with a smile.
She thought about it, remembered the machine weaving and layout proposed by Min Tingke, and hurriedly said, "By the way, the Min family's machine weaving and layout, Uncle Six has agreed to take the Foreign Minister's room with him."
"What?" Bai Yuanze was shocked, "Did you tell Master Min Liu?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "I said it."
Bai Yuanze said, "What did Master Min Liu say?"
Bai Rongxuan disappeared and the two of them made a bet, "I didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed. Moreover, the Peng family would also get involved. There are many people and great power, so it's not bad for us anyway."
Bai Yuanze said, "Even the Peng family will participate? Who told you, Master Min Liu?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "No need to say, I know that this time I went to Yangzhou, Peng Yu, the second young master of the Peng family, also went with me."
Bai Yuanze pondered.
Bai Rongxuan seemed not very happy when she saw him worried, and was vaguely uneasy. However, Bai Xiulang seemed very excited, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Isn't the prospect of machine weaving layout very good? Why are you hesitating about such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky?"
Bai Yuanze smiled bitterly, "Of course it's a good thing, but I'm afraid that our Foreign Minister's House's ability is limited and he can't handle the fallen pie!"
Bai Xiulang's face changed.
Bai Yuanze continued, "Not to mention machine weaving layout, how much money does an ordinary weaving factory have to invest? The Min family can afford it, and the Peng family can afford it, but we may not be able to afford it."
What's more, if the property of the three-bedroom house is handed over, the Foreign Minister's House will have to slow down for a while, especially facing the offensive of the second-bedroom house. It is not easy to protect yourself, let alone any major moves at this time.
Bai Xiulang could understand his father's painstaking efforts, but the machine weaving layout is a rare opportunity, and it is too late to regret it if you miss it.
He hesitated how to comfort his father.
Bai Rongxuan said, "Uncle, you will be able to meet your sixth uncle in a few days. You might as well ask him in person. It would be not too late to decide after seeing what he said."
Bai Yuanze glanced at her and was unresolved.
Bai Rongxuan said, "In fact, from the current situation, even if you do nothing, the second house may not be generous in 'smile and 'repeated'. Since you will face each other sooner or later, why not put the initiative in your own hands? Moreover, the machine weaving layout of the sixth uncle is to check and balance the second house's manufacturing factory. Bai Xiurui had previously blocked the Min family's Jiangxi cotton. Have you heard of it?"
Of course Bai Yuanze knew.
He said in surprise, "Her Master Min Liu even told you about such things?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "Uncle Six often thinks that my head is stupid. If I don't explain it to me in person, I can't guess anything."
Bai Yuanze felt that things were not that simple.
Min Liu was able to support a huge family at a young age. In addition to his outstanding abilities, he also had unparalleled wisdom. People like him could not fully reveal their thoughts to an outsider, especially Bai Xiuzhi was also a member of the Bai family.
Either it is excessive trust or it has ulterior motives.
But not long after Bai Xiuzhi returned to Shanghai, where did such trust come from? The latter is obviously more likely.
But Min Liu was indeed different in dealing with Bai Xiuzhi, and even took him to Yangzhou...
Bai Yuan was a little confused about Min Tingke's intention.
He couldn't help but remind Bai Rongxuan, "Brother Zhi and Bai Min's family are in Shanghai, and it has been more than a year or two for open and secret struggles. Although Mrs. Min's marriage has changed a lot, when it comes to family interests, some things still have games. Since it is a game, there will naturally be wins and losses. When you get along with Master Min Liu, you have to be more careful."
Bai Rongxuan was slightly stunned.
It seems that since she returned to Shanghai, she has never doubted Min Tingke and has an instinctive trust in him...
As for where this trust comes from, she couldn't explain it clearly.
Seeing this, Bai Yuanze continued, "The key to knowing people and making friends is to be sincere. I am not trying to provoke your relationship with Master Min Liu, but it is always okay to be careful."
