Chapter 1319 One Thought
Chapter 1319 ·One thought
Bai Xiulang felt that his father was completely over-thinking. With Min Tingke's mind, if he wanted to plot against Bai Xiuzhi, many brothers would have been dealt with. Maybe even if they were sold, they would have to help him count the money.
Bai Xiulang smiled but said nothing.
Bai Xiuyao sat aside boredly. He could never get into a topic like this, so he simply didn't say anything and was thinking about going out for a trip on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Bai Rongxuan said, "I understand what my uncle meant, and I will definitely be more cautious in the future."
My uncle was also worried that she would not know anything in her first-time cottage, so she would be plotted against by Min Tingke?
He didn't understand how he got along with Min Tingke, and it was normal for him to have such doubts. After all, Min Tingke is famous, and some people call him a child prodigy, and some people call him a demon child. It is a god or a demon, all in a single thought.
Bai Yuanze nodded with great relief when he saw that she could compassionate his efforts.
After lunch, Bai Rongxuan was still thinking about Bai Yuanze's words on the way back.
After a few days, the annual Dragon Boat Festival was approaching. At this time in previous years, the Tang family in Hangzhou was busy making rice dumplings, and everyone started working together, which was very lively. But it was a different scene in the Bai family. The old house was gone, and the atmosphere of the festival became much weaker. In addition, the eldest house was worried about the eldest son's affairs, and he had no intention of paying attention to the Dragon Boat Festival. Mrs. Min was not very interested, so she just asked the small stove to make some rice dumplings and distributed them to the servants, but she didn't eat any of them herself.
Madam Yi quietly told Bai Rongxuan, "The old lady is old and doesn't easily eat something that is difficult to digest, such as sticky rice."
Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but miss the scene of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival at her uncle's house, wrapping rice dumplings and hanging gourds, wearing colorful ropes, and embroidering sachets...
There is also the chattering Tang Xueru by her side.
How interesting it is.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Minting and Ke came to the door, and Bai Rongxuan was following Mrs. Min to learn painting.
Mrs. Min is good at Chinese painting, especially fish and shrimp, but she is not so skilled in painting landscapes. Fortunately, painting is just a pleasure to her, and she has no desire to win. On this day, Mrs. Min learned to paint and fine brushwork, and Bai Rongxuan was fine. She had nothing to do, and she started to copy while she was practicing.
Mrs. Min had some skills, so she mastered the trick after only drawing two pictures. Bai Rongxuan couldn't even draw straight lines well. Mrs. Min gave advice from the side, and Bai Rongxuan finally made some progress.
When Min Tingke entered the door, he saw such a scene.
The old and the young stood in front of the table, staring at the paper with concentration, but he didn't even notice that he had arrived.
"Cough!" Min Tingke made some sounds on purpose.
Bai Rongxuan raised her head first, and when she saw him, she smiled in surprise, "Uncle Six, why are you here?"
Mrs. Min also came to her senses, "Xiao Liu is here, so I won't let anyone inform you."
Min Tingke smiled and said, "Don't I want to see what my aunt is busy with?" He said to Bai Rongxuan again, "I don't seem to welcome me when I hear your tone?"
Bai Rongxuan hurriedly explained, "How dare you? Uncle Six is busy with his noble people. I feel surprised."
Min Tingke said, "Let me see how the Dragon Boat Festival is arranged on your side."
Mrs. Min said lightly, "You will know when you live to my age. What kind of festivals are there? The more you live like this, the more tiring it is. I would rather not."
Min Tingke said, "I knew you would do this, so I came here specially. There will be a cruise ship by the Huangpu River tomorrow. I have already booked the restaurant with the best viewing. I will send a car to pick you up in advance. You can just go there."
Mrs. Min immediately said, "There are many people going out for a trip every year on Dragon Boat Festival. I really don't like the messy scenes. I'd rather stay at home and feel comfortable. Let Brother Zhi accompany you out for a walk."
Min Tingke said, "I have booked that restaurant, it is the quietest, not arguing at all. Besides, my parents will go there too, and you just happened to be lively. There are no outsiders, so why are you still separated?"
Mrs. Min hesitated.
Min Tingke winked at Bai Rongxuan.
Bai Rongxuan understood and whispered, "Old Madam, the weather is getting hotter and hotter after the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if you want to go out, you can't move. Why not take this opportunity to go out and relax. You haven't been out for a long time."
Mrs. Min was a little more energetic.
Min Tingke said, "We go out in the morning, eat in the restaurant at noon, and play on the river bank in the afternoon, and set off fireworks in the evening. If you elders can't hold on, I will have someone to send you back after listening to the show. Brother Zhi and I will watch the fireworks before going home."
Mrs. Min smiled and said, "Singing an opera? Setting up a stage by the river is still a scene I only had when I was a child. It has been rare in recent years. What happened this year? Who thought of a way?"
Min Tingke said proudly, "Who else can it be? Of course it is your baby nephew. I heard my father mention it a few days ago. It is said that my grandfather took him to the riverside to listen to operas, and he rode on his grandfather's neck."
Mrs. Min suddenly thought of the scene at that time and couldn't help but say, "He was still young at that time, and in order to see far, he could only ride on your grandfather's neck. Your grandfather is just a son, and he is so precious that he is happy no matter what he does. In this way, our Min family does not have many descendants. If you become a relative in the future, you have to have a few more."
Why did it get married again?
Min Tingke hurriedly said, "I miss him very much, so I arranged to have someone set up a stage and then I will sing the show on the spot, so that you and my father can also find the memories of that year."
When Mrs. Min saw him filial, she said with relief, "Okay, then you will send a car to pick you up tomorrow so that you won't be able to go anywhere when the crowds are crowded."
Min Tingke said, "Just rest assured, I will make the arrangements."
Mrs. Min kept him for dinner, and Min Tingke said, "I won't eat anymore. There are other things outside. I'll come and see you and you have to leave."
Mrs. Min said, "Then let Brother Zhi take you out."
Bai Rongxuan immediately put down her pen and followed Min Tingke's footsteps.
After leaving the gate of Qizitang, Min Tingke suddenly asked, "Have the second house come to the door recently?"
Bai Rongxuan shook her head without thinking, "No, has something happened?"
Min Tingke said, "There is no movement in the second house of Bai's family this year's Dragon Boat Festival. As the saying goes, it's abnormal. I'm worried that they are holding on to something bad."
Bai Rongxuan said, "No, are you tripped up by something else?"
Min Tingke pondered without opening his mouth.
Bai Rongxuan said again, "What actions can the Huayang Chamber of Commerce do?"
Min Tingke said, "It's still the same thing, just parades and performs and sings big shows. Su Chengxian is not focused on serious things now, just thinking about how to hold the thighs of foreigners."
Bai Rongxuan said inexplicably, "I don't understand a little. Foreigners want benefits. No matter who they are, as long as they can bring benefits to them, why do they just look down on President Su?"
Min Tingke said, "If you want to blame, you blame Su Chengxian for being too eager. Before he could walk steadily, he thought about how to run. The foundation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has become thinner and thinner in recent years, so foreigners naturally don't look down on it."
Bai Rongxuan said, "What about the Bai family? Why can't the Bai family do it?"
Min Tingke explained, "Of course it's because of me. The competition between the Min Bai families has been a long time. With me or not, he or not me, between Min Bai, foreigners must make choices. In the end, they took me and abandoned the Bai family. Of course, this is also related to the style of your second uncle. He is so unreliable, can foreigners trust him?"
