Chapter 1424 · Eyeliner

The person who came was the boy next to Peng Yu. He had the head of a monkey and looked not too old. He had served Peng Yu before when he went to Yangzhou. Peng Yu always asked him to run errands, and Bai Rongxuan was still kind to him.

Some impressions.

The visitor respectfully saluted Bai Rongxuan and said, "Master Zhi, my young master asked me to ask you whether you will attend the Yuan family's banquet, so that he can make arrangements in advance."

Bai Rongxuan asked in confusion, "What is he going to do?"

"It's not what you want to do." The young man said, "My young master is afraid that you will go out alone and you will be unaccustomed to not having any acquaintances around. I thought that if you go, he will go with you, so that at least he can take care of you."

Bai Rongxuan felt very uncomfortable after what she said.

Peng Yu is so much younger than her, yet she still needs his care...

Bai Rongxuan said, "Thank you young master for your kindness, but I have already invited young master Yao from the Bai family's foreign minister's room to accompany me. With him by my side, I think nothing will happen. If young master Peng has other matters, there is no need to worry about it."

It’s such a small thing to worry about.”

The boy agreed respectfully, then said goodbye and left.

After he left, Wu Jie also rushed back. He said to Bai Rongxuan, "Master Yao heard that it was you who invited you and that he was going to Yuan's house. He agreed without saying a word. He also said that he would come to pick you up in advance that day.

Let’s set off together then.”

Bai Rongxuan nodded happily, "This makes me feel more at ease."

On the day of the Yuan family's banquet, it started to rain lightly again in Shanghai. Bai Rongxuan put on clean new clothes and read in the study room of Li Xuetang while waiting for Bai Xiuyao to come.

Wang Dequan came in and said, "Master Zhi, there is news from Peiping that Master Pu has arrived home safely."

So fast?

Bai Rongxuan asked, "Is this a message specially sent to the third room?"

Wang Dequan shook his head, "Of course not. He just returned to the Bai family in Peking. Before he could sit down, the people from the third room sent news back. Naturally, they were the first to get it. At this time, the news in Peking is probably still there.

On the way."

Bai Rongxuan asked in surprise, "Does Sanfang also have business in Peking?"

Why doesn't she know?

When I looked through the account books before, I didn't see any accounts from Peking.

Wang Dequan said, "Young Master Zhi just took over, and many things need to be gradually familiarized to become clear. Although the Bai family in Peking and Shanghai come from the same family, they are far apart after all, and there are several generations between them, so the relationship cannot be said to be close."

, it’s not that far away. Later, in order for the two families to get along properly without any barriers, an unwritten rule was established. The Bai family in Peking will not interfere in the business in Shanghai, and the Bai family in Shanghai will not set foot in the business in Peking.

You must know that where there are interests, there will be disputes, and brothers must settle accounts clearly. With this rule, the two families will get along more smoothly."

Bai Rongxuan nodded, "In that case, how could Sanfang have an spy in Peiping?"

Wang Dequan said, "This was actually the arrangement made by the third master back then. The purpose was just to pay attention to the movements in Beiping. Once there is any action, we can know it as soon as possible so that we can respond in advance."

Bai Rongxuan frowned in confusion.

Given my father's intelligence and ability, since he made such an arrangement, he must have had his intentions.

Could it be that they discovered something wrong with the Bai family in Peiping?

Bai Rongxuan asked cautiously, "Why did my father make such an arrangement? Did anything happen in Sanfang and Beiping?"

Wang Dequan said, "Young Master Zhi is worrying too much. That's not the case. The reason why Third Master made such arrangements was mainly just in case. At that time, the Bai family in Beiping was in good momentum, and Third Master was worried that they should not leave if they left."

A shortcut can affect the whole body at that time, and eventually we will be affected. Later, the third master died of illness, and the informants in Peiping have been kept, and any news can be sent back as soon as possible. "

Bai Rongxuan asked, "Did you find out what happened in Beiping later?"

Wang Dequan said, "The results were already there when the Third Master was still alive. At that time, the Bai family in Peiping and seven other families chartered ships to do business, and indeed made a lot of money. However, with more profits, there were more disputes. Later,

Because of the uneven distribution, these seven families have never interacted with each other, and the business has naturally been put on hold."

Bai Rongxuan sighed softly when she heard the sound, "Such a lose-lose outcome is of no benefit to anyone. Everyone takes a step back, business is still going well, and all seven families can benefit from it, isn't it great?"

Wang Dequan smiled and said, "It's a pity that these seven families don't have the ambition to treat the young master... There has been no big movement in the Bai family in Peiping these years, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve again for a while."

Opportunities are like this, if you grasp them, you will grasp them. For those who cannot grasp them, there is no use regretting them.

Bai Rongxuan said, "My father did not withdraw his informant after that, so there are always people with three bedrooms in Beiping?"

Wang Dequan nodded, "Yes. Not only the third house, but also the second house had eyeliners. They thought they were smart, but in fact they were thoroughly calculated by the third master, but they just didn't make it public. And..." Wang Dequan hesitated for a while, and finally

Still said, "The second brother secretly did business in Peking in the name of someone else's family. This matter was well hidden. No one except the third master knew about it, and even the old man didn't know about it. After learning the news at that time, I

He also persuaded the third master to go to the old man and see what the old man said. Unexpectedly, he was severely reprimanded by the third master. He said that if this matter gets serious, the Shanghai Bai family will be embarrassed.

He moved his whole body in one move, and there was really no need to deal with Erfang and damage his own wings, so this matter has been suppressed. Although Erfang has not paid much attention to it in Peiping these years, his small business has been doing well. I

After quietly paying attention, the profits are quite considerable."

Bai Rongxuan asked, "Have you mentioned this matter to Uncle Ze, the foreign minister?"

Wang Dequan said, "No, the third master said not to tell outsiders, so I naturally had to hide it in my stomach. If I hadn't talked about Peking with you today, I still wouldn't have said it."

Bai Rongxuan thought to herself.

If one day in the future, oneself and the second-fang are facing each other, having an extra handle on the second-fang will ultimately help him to be prepared. There are only advantages and no disadvantages.

She said softly, "Keep an eye on the second room's movements in Peiping. If you have any news, tell me as soon as possible."

Wang Dequan readily agreed.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, Bai Xiuyao hurried over.

Bai Rongxuan hurriedly asked Tao Qing to invite him in, and Wang Dequan also took the opportunity to retreat.

Bai Xiuyao said, "Tell me, the Yuan family doesn't do anything for a year, so why does it rain every time they do something? I think their family really needs to worship in the temple and find an expert to break it.

OK."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Who would break this?

Bai Rongxuan said, "You came very early, shall we set off now?"

"No rush." ​​Without the elders present, Bai Xiuyao felt much more relaxed. He sat down carelessly, crossed his legs and said, "I didn't want to stay at home, so I ran out early. We are guests, there is no reason.

If you show up so early, why don't you have to help the Yuan family entertain guests? I'll sit here with you for a while, just in time to talk."

Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Bai Xiuyao waved his hand, "I don't want to eat anything, and Sixth Brother doesn't have to do any work. Just let the servants make a pot of hot tea."

Bai Rongxuan ordered to go down, and the maid soon brought tea in.

Bai Rongxuan saw that the little girl had tidied up, and when she took a closer look, she saw that it was Bai Qin.

She put down her tea and walked out quietly.
