Republic of China small businessman

Qinghe received the telegram, and someone came soon.

It was Bai Mingyu's father and brother who rushed over. The two of them came to Sichuan in a hurry. When they arrived, they went to the hotel to pack up and then brought gifts to visit Mrs. Bai.

Madam Bai made a concession and let them enter the small hall to talk.

They are both from the Bai family in the Northland, and they are relatively close to each other. Bai Mingyu's family has done a big business in the past two years, but it is not as rich as Mrs. Bai's family in Nanfang. After all, Mrs. Bai is a Bai family. The family lineage, and there are no other heirs in the family, these are all left to Bai Hongqi to inherit, and the child is also brought up by her current female shopkeeper, never thinking about marrying far away.

The members of Qinghe Bai's family were already prepared for this, and they said repeatedly: "When the dog came back from the telegram, this matter was already mentioned. We have no objection to this, and it is all up to your arrangement."

Madam Bai frowned slightly, and asked tentatively: "It's okay even if you get married?"

Master Bai laughed and said: "If it's another family, it's definitely not acceptable, but we are all our own family members, we can discuss it. Since we are real relatives, then I will close the door and tell the truth. I have an eldest son in my family. In addition At the beginning of the year, a pair of twin grandchildren were added, adding up to the grandfather of three grandchildren, Ding Shang is a good family member."

Madam Bai's expression softened a lot, she could already hear the other party's sincerity.

If they marry into another family, the father and son of Qinghe Bai's family will definitely blow their beards and stare and refuse to agree, but this is their own family, so there is not so much psychological pressure.Bai Mingzhe was still a little bit reluctant to part with his younger brother, so Master Bai happily sent Bai Er out.

Although Master Bai has always been in the Bai family of Qinghe, he is not pedantic. It is enough for him to have one son at home to inherit the family business. As long as Master Jiu is willing to accept the wings, Qinghe will not be able to keep Bai Er sooner or later.

After talking all morning, Mrs. Bai specially reserved a meal for lunch and let the small kitchen cook a home-cooked meal.

The matter of getting married went smoothly, and Mrs. Bai let go of her last worry.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "Walking around, we are still a family."

The master of Bai's family in Qinghe said: "Yes, I have been hearing Master Jiu mention Miss Hong before. She is very good at doing things. My useless son can learn a lot from following him. He is the one who has made a name for himself."

Both of them are not short of money, just looking at people, they are very satisfied with each other.

Mrs. Bai was angry at first, but she was only angry that Bai Mingyu, a brat, asked for a kiss without opening his mouth, which was not formal at all. During this time, she also heard Hong'er talk about what happened in the underground palace. It has already softened, and it is stretched deliberately, just to see more about Bai Er's character.

Now that I have seen it, I can also see the attitude of the Qinghe Bai family. They are indeed a good family.

Madam Bai was very satisfied and agreed to the marriage.

However, she made a request to get engaged first. After all, she was a girl raised since she was a child, and she was reluctant to marry her early.

The Bai family of Qinghe nodded immediately, followed with a smile and said: "Okay, engagement is also good, my second boy is not too young, and now he can be regarded as someone in charge, when he is away from home, Miss Hong is the leader inside and out, and she is thoughtful and appropriate , with her here, we can rest assured!"

Although Bai Mingyu's father and brother came here this time, they traveled lightly, but they also prepared ample gift money. Madam Bai didn't want it, so she declined, "Since it's a marriage, I don't need any of these. My Nanfang Bai family will bear it all."

The father and son of the Bai family in Qinghe looked at each other, it was their first time sending their son off, and they had no experience, but they nodded in response to what Mrs. Bai said. Ten cows, one hundred will not be able to pull back.

Bai Mingyu has been busy with the family school and the factory these two days, and when he returned to the Meishan house, the two parties had already reached an agreement, and the marriage between him and Bai Hong was basically settled.

After Bai Mingyu found out, he was very happy. Although Master Bai was exhausted, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw his second son happily giggling.

into the night.

Bai Mingzhe knocked on his brother's door secretly, and gave him all the money he brought.

The amount was too much, even Bai Mingyu was taken aback, and refused to take it repeatedly: "Brother, take these back, when you and your father need money, the family winery business will not be short of cash. I can't use these here, so don't leave them for me."

Bai Mingzhe said: "Now that you are with Master Jiu, the family will give you a house, a field, or a shop, and you don't have cash to facilitate it. It's just that the Northland has been a bit chaotic in the past two years, and you can't make up too much for a while." Seeing the younger brother, he said What, Bai Mingzhe waved his hand to stop him and said: "Listen to me, this money was originally used for you to marry and marry a daughter-in-law. My parents have prepared it for a long time, and your sister-in-law and I also contributed a share of it. You Don't worry about the family's business, this money will definitely not miss you. Since Mrs. Bai of Nanfang said that she is here for the wedding, we can't take it back. Father said, you are growing up too. I will give you these and get married in the future. Keep some money in your hand, don't suffer."

"Oh, that's fine." Bai Mingyu took the purse and counted it: "Let me see how many there are."

The sadness in Bai Mingzhe's heart was instantly wiped away by him. He raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, scolding with a smile: "Stinky boy, you can count the money after I leave. Count the gift money in front of me. You won't be ashamed to lose it!"

Bai Mingyu: "Kissing elder brother in front of me, what's there to be ashamed of, brother, how long are you staying here? Can you stay longer?"

Bai Mingzhe shook his head and said, "No, I still have to go back. After all, Beidi is the inheritance of my ancestors, and someone needs to watch over it."

Bai Mingyu felt sad: "If the chaos becomes serious, you should run to the south. Master Jiu has bought land in Xichuan and Meishan, and soon there will be factories. If you come here, our family will still be the same as before. Everything is up to me, big brother, don't worry."

Bai Mingzhe smiled and said, "I'm content with your words. I've grown up after following Master Jiu all these years."

He took a good look at his younger brother and patted him on the shoulder. The two brothers are about the same height now, but their relationship is a bit better than before.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Er and Miss Hong got engaged.

Everyone in Beidi had a reunion dinner in Meishan. In two days, Qinghe Bai's father and son returned to Beidi, and other elders also bid farewell one after another.Bai Lao stayed in Meishan to sit in the town, and some others stayed to build new factories, and some chose to return to their hometowns to guard the foundation of their ancestors. They each made their own choices and made all the efforts they could do.

The end of the year.

Originally planned to visit the Shanghai stock market, but He Dongting sent a letter, saying that the two of them should stay in Sichuan for the holidays, so that they don't have to go back and forth.Xie Jing called him and asked him again and again, but the other party still said so, so he didn't insist anymore.

After the twelfth lunar month, Manager Sun Fu of the East Hospital brought Mr. Huang back. Mr. Huang was holding the newly copied book, shaking his head in the room, so intoxicated by reading that he didn't care much about eating for several days.

Xie Jing went over to take a look, told people to take good care of Mr. Huang, and let him go.

After Steward Sun Fu came back, all matters in the new house were arranged in an orderly manner. If Xie Jing was busy in the past, it was a bit difficult, but the old steward came to help, and everything was easily solved. The burden on Xie Jing's shoulders was light. There are many, and every day I walk with wind.

Steward Sun Fu also felt a little grievance in his heart.He had imagined countless occasions of Jiu Ye's big wedding before, but no matter what kind of situation he was busy with, he was the chief steward of the East Courtyard and could be used everywhere, inside and out, but he never thought about this time Xichuan Xie's family took care of most of the wedding, they just followed along and didn't even get involved in the banquet - he also buried a lot of old wine, just looking forward to this day!

The old steward was awkward for two or three days, but Xie Jing didn't notice it, but Master Jiu did.

On this day, Master Jiu finished his business in the study, and called someone to tell him, "Go and tell Sun Fu that as the end of the year is approaching, if any clerk asks for leave and returns to his hometown, he will do it according to the old practice. In addition, this year is the first year to open the house." , in addition to what is customarily given by the mansion, this year there will be an additional reward for him to watch and prepare." After speaking, he asked again, "Where did Sun Fu go, why didn't he see it today?"

The man below replied: "The old steward went to collect money for the wedding early this morning. He said that you will definitely need to use it and prepare it in advance."

Master Jiu laughed, nodded, and let him go down.

Not long after, Master Jiu heard voices in the yard and looked up.

Looking through the glass window, Xie Jing was talking to Steward Sun Fu under the tree in the courtyard. He couldn't hear clearly from a long distance, but he could see his movements.Xie Jing showed the old steward a bunch of keys around his waist, and after saying a word, he reached out to touch the bunch of keys hanging on the old steward's waist, but was patted on the back of his hand gently, Xie Jing's back Passing away, tilting his head and still staring.

Master Jiu was familiar with him, and he could read that lip line.

What Xie Jing said just now is that he also has the key.

About before, he envied the sound of the clinking keys on the old steward's waist. Master Jiu could guess the tone of his speech without having to look at it. It was serious and cute.

Jiu Ye looked through the window for a moment, and the smile on his lips never faded.

In the yard, one old and one young were still bickering. The always calm old steward was different from the past. Although he didn't say anything about Xie Jing, who grew up watching him, he still had a bit of preference in his heart.

During the Chinese New Year in the East Courtyard, a lot of money was rewarded, and the whole house was beaming with joy.Master Jiu was generous, and each new and shiny silver dollar was pasted with a small "Fu" character, and distributed to a group of people. The largest piece of New Year's money was the size of a child's palm, and was sent to thank you by the old steward. In Jing's hand.

The sound of firecrackers, broken red everywhere.

Without the white snow in the Northland, it still had a lively New Year.

Xie Jing went to pay New Year's greetings to his uncle early in the morning, and when he was driving home in the carriage, he huddled in Master Jiu's cloak and hugged him.

Master Jiu kissed his forehead and asked in a low voice, "But are you sleepy?"

Xie Jing shook her head, and did not let go of the person in her arms. After a while, she whispered: "It seems to be dreaming."

Master Jiu pinched his earlobe and said with a smile: "How could it be a dream? It must have been mischievous last night and didn't sleep well. Let's sleep for a while when we get home."

Xie Jing was a little embarrassed, and buried her head in hiding.

Master Jiu pinched his earlobe, but failed to dig him out of his arms, instead, he was rubbed against him. After a while, Xie Jing's breath became a little unsteady, and he opened his mouth lightly to bite the button of his collar.

Master Jiu raised his hand and scratched his chin, and said softly: "You are not big, but your teeth are sharp."

Xie Jing put her finger on her lips and rubbed it, and Xie Jing let go of the button.

Jiu Ye lowered his head, and this time the kiss fell on his lips.
