There was nothing going on at the Prince's Mansion, and the family lived happily every day.

Bai Shengyu, who was studying in the Imperial College, was not so relaxed. During this period, the life in the Bai Mansion was getting worse day by day. The most important thing was that the Bai family and his son were not good at doing business, but everyone They are all spenders.

The money was spent like water. If it weren't for the money that Mrs. Bai had saved from Zhou Yan every month, the Bai family would have been unable to survive.

But after supporting it for so long, the Bai family can no longer support it.

All the Bai family's large property was completely destroyed, and even the Bai Mansion was sold. Now the family lives in a civilian area, renting a small courtyard with one entrance.

Every day in the yard, the whole family puts on a big show of scolding each other, and sometimes they even get violent. No one will find the reason from themselves, but they all blame others for spending too much. If it weren't for the other party, the Bai family would Why has it fallen to this point now?

Fortunately, Bai Wei had already married before, and her husband's family, seeing that the Bai family was in doom, had already let the news out, and Bai Wei had severed ties with her natal family.

Even if someone from the Bai family comes to the door, the Wang family will ignore it and directly ask the concierge to drive them away.

That's the good thing about being a merchant. You don't have to pay too much attention to reputation like being an official.

The Bai family came to see her several times but couldn't get in, so they finally stopped going.

Since the Bai family moved to this small courtyard, every one of them has been unable to move their feet, and they all rely on Mrs. Bai to take care of them.

Mrs. Bai still has the pampered look she saw when Zhou Yu first entered Kyoto. Now Mrs. Bai's hair is half white and her face is covered with wrinkles. In less than a year, she seems to have aged. Twenty years old.

Wearing a set of dusty clothes, he was carrying a bucket of water in his hands as he trudged towards the stove.

At the beginning, Mrs. Bai would still complain about pretending to be dead, but after being beaten several times, Mrs. Bai didn't dare anymore. Now she is doing all the work in the yard, and people in the next door and next door neighbors think she is. The servants of the Bai family had no idea that she was the head wife of the Bai family.

Of course, Ms. Jiang didn't have the shame to tell her neighbors that she was Bai Meng's wife. She couldn't afford to embarrass that person.

At this time, Mrs. Bai felt extremely regretful. If she had not exchanged the children from the two families, would she still be living the same pampered life as before?

It's a pity that it's hard to buy regret medicine in the world. Although she regrets it to death in her heart now, what happened has happened and she can't go back.

In fact, Bai Sheng is not ignorant of his mother's current situation, but what Mrs. Bai is doing now, Bai Sheng really doesn't think it's a big deal.

When their family was in the countryside, they had to work hard every day. At that time, they didn't think life was so difficult.

But what he didn't expect was that Mrs. Bai was used to living a pampered life, and now she was doing these easy tasks in his eyes. How could her body bear the burden?

Bai Sheng's life is not easy now. The Bai family can't get any benefits from Bai Wei. Now the family's life is very tight, and no one goes out to find work. After eating at home, Bai Meng comes to the Imperial Academy. Bai Sheng is squatting here.

After the people came out, they went to him and cried, with one purpose: to ask for money from Bai Sheng.

During this period, Bai Sheng has given dozens of taels of silver to the Bai family one after another. This is why the Bai family does not work as a family now, but they still have money to eat.

In fact, Bai Sheng didn't have much money on hand. Zhou Yu regularly sent Bai Sheng twenty taels of silver every month, and then the food and supplies in his small courtyard, including the pens, inks, paper and inkstones that Bai Sheng usually used. It was all prepared by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu had prepared everything for him, so there weren't many places where Bai Sheng could use his money. The dozens of taels he gave to the Bai family were saved by him.

Now he doesn't have much money on his hands, with more than ten taels left. Bai Sheng is tired of the Bai family coming to ask for money every few days, so he doesn't plan to give any money to the Bai family now. You must know that the dozens of taels of silver he gave previously were enough for their family for ten years when they were in the countryside. Even if the prices in Kyoto City are much more expensive than when they were in the countryside, but that With dozens of taels of silver, Bai Sheng thought that it would be no problem for a year and a half.

But just now, people from the Bai family came to the door again and again, and Bai Sheng also had a temper.

Fortunately, the Bai family also wanted to be proud. They knew that the future hopes of the Bai family were pinned on Bai Sheng, so they just waited for Bai Sheng to come out to pester him at the gate of the Imperial College, and did not make a fuss at the gate of the Imperial College. It was considered that they were still smart now. Can be carried clearly.

Bai Sheng went back from school today, and Bai Meng was always with him.

"Son, you can't ignore me. Our family is about to suffer from the northwest wind now. We can't let our family starve to death."

Bai Sheng couldn't bear it any longer. His fast pace suddenly stopped and he turned his head to look at Bai Meng.

"Didn't I just give you five taels a few days ago, why did I spend them all again?"

Bai Meng smiled.

"What can five taels of silver be worth? Don't think about it. In the past, every meal in our family was prepared at a standard of one hundred taels. If five taels of silver can last for so many days, it is already within your father's and my ability. "

Regarding Bai Meng's father, Yum really didn't want to say more.

"I don't have a few taels of silver on my hands now. I really don't have much to give you, and I won't give you any more silver in the future."

When Bai Meng heard this, it was okay.

"Son, if you don't give me money, your two brothers, your aunt, your mother and I will starve to death!"

Bai Meng had used this trick many times in front of Bai Sheng before, and it had always worked every time, but this time Bai Sheng had seen clearly that his cheap father was simply a piece of mud that he couldn't help.

"Don't worry, I won't let you starve to death. From now on, I will ask my servant to bring you food every day. As for the money, you don't have to think about it."

After Bai Sheng finished speaking, he didn't do anything more and left quickly.

Bai Meng was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly caught up with Bai Sheng and shouted from behind.

The Imperial College was not far from the small courtyard where Bai Sheng rented. The boy had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time. When he heard Bai Meng's voice, he felt extremely irritable. This Mr. Bai was really shameless.

He picked up a broom from the entrance of the courtyard and waited until he saw his young master coming in. The boy stopped him at the entrance of the courtyard with the broom.

If this was the boy in his own house, Bai Meng would have kicked him out if he had treated him like this before. However, thinking that this boy was prepared by the Prince of Anping County for his son, Bai Meng did not dare to kick him out. .

Seeing that he had stopped, the boy had no intention of forcing his way in, nor did he speak to him. He entered with a bang and closed the door in front of Bai Meng.

Bai Meng vomited thick phlegm directly at the door.

"Ah! Dog slave."

After scolding, the talent left unwillingly.
