Chapter 16 The Bai Family Comes

"Erlang, when you come to the capital, why don't you tell your family?"

In a teahouse in Datong City, there is an open private room on the second floor, with no curtains, but screens. This kind of old-fashioned wooden building is rare in Luoyang, and the beams and pillars of the entire teahouse are still left by the time of Wang Shichong. After several wars, it is extremely precious.

Several tea shops were having tea and chatting. On the table downstairs, Zhang Shen was listening to Mr. Storytelling about the story of "Three Plays of Bai Mudan in Li Zhenren". It was different from other places, probably because it was close to "Domestic Country". In addition to Mr. Storytelling, there was also a half-covered girl who cooperated with the words "Bai Mudan". The tea shops listened with relish, and the fried bean shells were covered with the table.

Zhang Shen looked upstairs from time to time, but he didn't go up, but he was wondering in his heart: Why did people from the Bai clan of Luoyang come to find the second leader?

"Home?"

In the private room upstairs, Zhang Mian frowned slightly, "You should be careful when you speak."

"Yes, yes, yes, Erlang, don't blame him. Wherever you go, the Bai family's family still has to be opened for Erlang?"

The middle-aged man was smiling, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, put it down gently, and then smiled kindly, "Erlang, your father, your husband, has always liked you, and he has come to the capital, so he should go back and take a look."

"I'm not here alone."

Zhang Mian's complexion was a little relaxed, and then said, "You should know it too, why bother asking it knowingly? Since you are here, you must have wanted to inquire about something, but it's okay. Uncle."

"Why!"

Bai Jie has many brothers, but the Luoyang Bai family of these two generations is not a good player. It is really developed and it depends on going to sea. The profits of maritime trade are so great that even if hundreds of dozens of Luoyang Bai family members die and have children, they will make a lot of money.

However, when the Bai family in Luoyang completely surrendered to Emperor Li, they naturally had conflicts with Zhang De. Fortunately, whether Zhang De didn't care or because of Bai Jie's face, Zhang De did not suppress the business at sea. He made more money and made less money, and he all relied on his abilities. Zhang De even gave him a lot of help.

For example, in the farm north of Liuqiu Island, Bai's family has been making a lot of cheap rice that is supplied every year.

No matter what perspective, Zhang De did not feel sorry for the Bai family in Luoyang. If he had no formal marriage to challenge Bai San Niangzi... Bai was not so shameless.

"Erlang, this time you enter Beijing, can you... know?"

"Maybe I didn't know about it before, but I must have known about this situation."

"Why did it come from?"

"I said I went out with my elder brother to practice, but does my uncle believe it?"

Although Zhang Mian was a teenager, he had always been smart and had always been arguing within the Bai family. Even as an elder and uncle, he seemed to be an old man, he did not dare to really treat Zhang Mian as an ordinary young man.

What's more, Zhang Dalang was in a mess these days, but Zhang Erlang was not so arrogant and was quiet. He seemed to be collecting money in the "Domestic Country" to clean.

Even the Bai family in Luoyang was attracted by Zhang Dalang. If they hadn't accidentally hit the "Domestic Country" and saw Zhang Mian, they would have dared not recognize each other.

"If you believe it, why don't you believe it? Can my uncle still not believe what Erlang said?"

The words were not as strong as elders, but they were very flattering, but Zhang Mian didn't feel disgusted. He had no feelings for Bai, and his mother was always cowardly. She grew up with her father, and seemed to be close, but in fact she was like an abyss...

"My uncle wants to inquire, is his father interested in marrying a famous family in the capital?"

"Hehe... this... I wonder if Erlang can tell you one or two?"

Zhang Mian gently put down the teacup hanging in the air, and then looked at his third uncle, "Uncle, Bai's best not to bother and be at peace. This little wealth is enough now. Do you really want to annoy you? Look at the current Jianghan Observer and the future governor of Hubei, will the thunder be furious?"

"Where does this start? Where does this start? Erlang! Our Bai family, our Bai family has no other intentions. My uncle just came over to ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, just ask, to find out the news, to prepare..."

"Be prepared for nothing!"

He slapped the coffee table with a sudden slap, and the dishes clattered. Zhang Mian stared at his third uncle, "Listen, don't cause trouble, don't think about collecting the little girl for the eldest brother. You want to wading into muddy water, yes, but don't involve me! Not to mention my mother! When you come here today, is it the meaning of the prince's father or the meaning of a few uncles and aunts? Do you think... I can't guess?"

“Erlang…”

"Until now, I'm afraid you don't even know who the eldest brother's mother is."

Zhang Mian, who sneered, was too lazy to pay attention to his third uncle, but at this time he had to warn Bai. Originally, after Bai's full resignation to the emperor, he had already annoyed Zhang De. If Zhang De had not "there were a lot of people" and let Bai's go into the sea, one ship would sink one by one, which would be fine.

In Wuhan, the princesses don’t give birth to too many cubs. It’s a mess here that makes people mess up the water. Does Bai kowtow when he sees a princess?

This is seeking death.

"This... Erlang, your elder brother..."

"Go back and ask the outer prince's father!"

"Then... OK." Uncle San was a little confused and finally said, "If you are free, come to your house to see you. Your cousins ​​have always missed you very much. Erlang has been smart since childhood, so it's good to mention your cousins' studies when they have time."

"knew."

Nodding, Zhang Mian was in a bad mood.

"Then...uncle will leave first."

"Uncle walks slowly."

Zhang Mian's face looked a little ugly without getting up and giving it to someone. She sat there and took a large shot of the coffee table, "It's better to succeed than to lose."

Seeing that the people from the Bai clan in Luoyang had left one after another, Zhang Shen got up, walked upstairs in three steps, arrived at the private room, found a seat to sit down, and asked, "Erlang, is Bai clan here to book the venue?"

"no."

Zhang Mian shook his head and looked at Zhang Shen: "I'm here to ask if there is a secluded, safe and clean room for my daughter's home use. There are many Bai's girls, so I think I don't want to be disturbed."

"Shirasaburo has always been generous and good at ease. I thought he wanted to run a massage parlor, too."

"Can you know the clever people standing guard in the capital in July?"

"What kind of Erlang wants, how many?"

"If you have a good memory, you can get a few more. Money is not a problem. Look at the brothers of the Bai family, even those who are officials must keep an eye on them."

"It's easy to deal with, Erlang is waiting for my news."

After saying that, Zhang Shen picked up a teacup, took a sip of the remaining tea, turned around and went downstairs without asking why.

"As sure you still have to go to the Bai family?"

Zhang Mian tapped his fingers slowly on the coffee table, and hesitated for a moment.
