Chapter 322
"What? This is a rented yard outside? Why don't you let us live in your house? This is looking down on us, your parents, grandparents?" Zhao immediately yelled.

Bai Yuran cast a stern look, "When will it be the third room's turn to decide my family's affairs?"

He choked Zhao Shi all of a sudden, his face turned purple and blue, "You, your grandparents can't make the decision!?"

"Don't use grandparents to oppress me! If you come here to find trouble, I will accompany you to the end!" Bai Yuran said angrily.

Bai Laosan hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zhao, and smoothed things over with a smile, "Erlang, don't be angry, your third aunt doesn't mean that! Don't be as knowledgeable as a woman like her! She has little knowledge and doesn't understand! We all thought we were here, They all live at your house!"

"I have no home in the capital!" Bai Yuran said coldly.

"Didn't you become an official? How could you have no home? Could it be that you lied to us?" Li Honglian laughed.Then seeing Bai Yuran's disgusted and contemptuous gaze, he felt embarrassed for a moment, filled with hatred and anger.

"Erlang! What's the matter? We came to the capital for a new year, what are you doing? You became an official, made a fortune, and forgot your roots?" Bai Fang asked with a sullen face.

Mrs. Li also looked at Bai Yuran suspiciously, "Erlang?"

Bai Yuran ignored Bai Fang, turned directly to Li, and asked in a deep voice, "Mother! I told you a long time ago that you have always been kind-hearted, but now you have learned to be shameless?"

Mrs. Li was startled.

"Erlang! What did you say to your mother!" Bai Chengzu shouted at him.

Bai Dalang also had a bad face, "Erlang! How can you say that about mother!? What's wrong with mother?"

Mrs. Li was also wronged and worried.

Bai Yuran glanced at them. Boss Bai, who had never said a word, paused for a moment, then looked at Li Shi and continued to say to her, "I didn't get rich when I became an official! I got rich after I married a wife! My previous six-rank Doctor, the yearly salary is 60 taels of silver, which is only five taels a month! Now the annual salary of the fourth rank is 130 taels of silver, which is only 11 taels a month! It’s not even enough for my own set of clothes! Dowry property also wants to belong to your son? Your Bai family's?"

"My Erlang..." Mrs. Li was so fierce that he couldn't speak.

Bai Dalang couldn't see it, "Erlang! Mother doesn't think so!"

"Ask her if she has that idea? Mother-in-law wants her daughter-in-law's dowry property, shame on herself! Do you want to lose my face too?" Bai Yuran shouted angrily.

Li's eyes turned red anxiously, "I really don't have it! Erlang!" Looking at Wei Huayin again, his face was full of grievances and sadness.

"I don't think it's suitable for me to listen to this question in person! How about you talk about it first? I'll go to the restaurant and ask two tables to come face to face!" Wei Huayin asked aloud.

Bai Fang's face was already sombre that dripping water.

Bai Chengzu frowned, his eyes were deep.

Glancing at the two, Boss Bai came out and said, "Erlang! Gu Yin! Don't be angry, your mother doesn't have that idea! Our Bai family doesn't want a daughter-in-law to marry that! Your grandparents are not that kind of people either! No! Do such a shameful thing!"

Bai Dalang also nodded, "Yes! Erlang don't worry, parents are definitely not that kind of people! Grandpa and grandma won't be that kind of people either! The money the family has earned in the past two years is quite a lot, and life is much easier! This is all due to the second brother and sister, we all know it!"

Wei Huayin looked at the two of them, then glanced at Bai Fang who was about to explode, but Zhao, who couldn't help but talk, flashed a smile in his eyes.Boss Bai said this intentionally following Bai Yuran's words, and Bai Dalang had exactly that idea.Only Mrs. Li's mind is muddled!

"We just miss you, and it happens that we don't have much work in winter, so we don't worry about you. Let's take a look and celebrate the new year together! See the prosperity of the capital! We will go back after the new year! There are still many things at home and The work is waiting!" Boss Bai said directly, and also hinted that Bai Yuran and Wei Huayin, they will stay soon, live this year well, and don't worry too much about the little things for a while.

How could Bai Fang not see that he was kissing his son, "Didn't you say that there is the No. [-] Scholar's Mansion bestowed by the Emperor?" She had heard people say that there was the No. [-] Scholar's Mansion!I also told people that when I come to the capital, I can live in the Zhuangyuan Mansion!I rented a yard outside and sent them away! ?

"Grandma, who did you hear that from?" Bai Yuran laughed angrily, "One champion in three years, ten in 30 years, and more than 150 years since the founding of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the entire capital city is not enough for them to live in the champion's mansion! Call a champion in the Imperial Academy , half of the ten agreed!"

Bai Fang's anger was about to die, and he glanced darkly at Wei Huayin a few times.I thought she was scheming and malicious!Fascinated by Bai Yuran, the provocative Bai Yuran became not filial at all, and targeted them everywhere, even ignoring her!
Uncle Zhong lowered his eyes and came over with a smile and explained, "A yard as big as this in the capital now costs three to four thousand taels of silver. Some people have been officials for most of their lives and cannot afford a small house in the capital! My lord would never dare to embezzle and accept bribes! A few days ago, a big case of corruption and bribery was caught, involving more than a dozen officials, five of them were beheaded, six of them were confiscated and exiled, the lightest one was dismissed, and the property was confiscated into the treasury!"

"Corruption will cost you your head! Erlang won't do it either!" Boss Bai didn't want such a thing to happen. It took a lot of effort for the Bai family to produce an official. , He also hoped that his youngest son could be made a Marquis and a Prime Minister!
Uncle Zhong didn't finish his sentence, "One of them was beheaded, the two were exiled, and the embezzlement money was collected by their family members in the name of it!"

"No one in our family would do that!" Boss Bai said hastily.

Mrs. Li also hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare to do such a thing with two heads!"

"Erlang, don't worry! Our family will definitely not do this kind of thing!" Bai Dalang affirmed.He thinks that 'our family' is just the big house, their brother's family.

Bai Yuran reached out to Uncle Zhong, and he handed over a silver bag, "This is my salary and reward silver for the past six months, a total of 80 taels, Huayin added 100 taels, and handed it over to Dad! It's our filial piety, used as a big gift The cost of food and clothing for the New Year in the house!"

Boss Bai didn't want it, "Your grandma got a lot of money! Our family has also brought in several hundred taels of silver this year! This is your first year's salary silver, you should keep it!"

"I don't miss the filial piety I should have! In case my parents think I'm unfilial and sue me in the yamen! Dad can take this money! You always have to spend money when you come to the capital!" Bai Yuran said The heavy silver bag was placed in his hand.

Boss Bai looked at him, then turned to look at Bai Fang and Bai Chengzu, wondering if he should accept him or not.To say that it should be paid, the couple earns tens of thousands of taels a year, and this 100 taels of silver is really nothing to them.But the youngest son's salary and reward silver for half a year, he only has so much.Those properties are all the dowry property of the daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as her dowry. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the Bai family.

"Prices in the capital are no better than those in your hometown. Eunuch should keep it! Put this money in your hands, buy what you should buy, buy what you should buy! There is always money in your hand! You can't come to the capital and spend the money your family earns." The hundred taels of silver are all spent!" Wei Huayin laughed.

Boss Bai has never managed money in his hands. As soon as he heard that the money was in his hands, he subconsciously looked at Bai Fang.

Wei Huayin looked at Bai Chengzu with deep and mocking eyes. The eldest son, who was supposed to be the head of the family, was treated like a quail. He insisted on raising a useless son, and when the old one died, the family would be in chaos!

Bai Chengzu seemed to have no skin on his face when she looked at him, and blurted out, "Let the boss keep the silver! The food and clothing expenses for the New Year in the capital are up to you!"

"Let's leave the money to the mother-in-law!" Mrs. Li looked at the boss with a scared expression.

"The wives in the capital don't leave the house. The man who runs the house is a man! Most of the women only eat and dress in the inner house, and take care of their husbands and children!" Wei Huayin reminded her.I'm a limp, and I don't allow my man to stand up!In this life, he will only be stepped on and bullied!

After hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't say any more.But her deep-rooted thoughts and habits made her feel uneasy and worried, and she frequently looked at Bai Fang.

Bai Fang's eyes were dark and angry, and he looked at Wei Huayin like nails.

Bai Chengzu lowered his voice and said angrily, "Did you come to the capital to find trouble?"

Thinking that she came to the capital for a big event, Bai Fang held back, "I'm tired and need to rest!"

"Come here! Take the old lady back to the house!" Wei Huayin ordered in a deep voice.

The house is all ready, and the earth dragons in the main room are also on fire.

Mrs. Zhao followed up to take a look, and when she entered the room, it was very hot, "Is there a stove burning in the room?"

The woman who led Bai Fang's family glanced at her, "The main room is full of earth dragons, as long as they are on fire, the room will be warm!"

"Then what about the house we live in?" Mrs. Zhao immediately asked.

"There is no room in the wing. I didn't say that the third-bedrooms also live here, and someone should have gone to prepare a charcoal basin by now!" Mrs. Liu replied to her.

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, "I don't think they have any plans! Not only our family, they don't want to see anyone! They don't want to see our poor relatives!"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "It's normal for relatives to walk around each other! The old lady and the wife will live for a long time, and the adults really can't make room for so many people, so they rented another big yard! "

"Are you their servant?" Mrs. Zhao snorted.

Mrs. Liu shook her head, "No! Your servant hired us to serve you for a while!"

It was said before that the two servants sent by Wei Huayin were to monitor them, and these servants were rented from the prostitute.

Mrs. Zhao went up to the bed and touched the quilt, "Is this new cotton?"

Mrs. Liu replied with a smile, "It's all made of new cotton! This room costs more than a dozen taels of silver for the bedding and sheets alone. There are seven or eight rooms, large and small, in the yard, and they are decorated everywhere. There are also grain, oil, rice noodles, chicken, duck and fish in the kitchen." What, Madam spent more than 100 taels of silver!"

Mrs. Zhao muttered in a low voice, "It takes only 100 taels of silver to get to them! It's an invitation for credit!"

"You back down!" Bai Fang felt annoyed in her heart, she was still talking about Wei Huayin's good work, but she was so angry.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, then backed away.

The conversation outside was much more harmonious without the two of them.

"Why don't you see Mianmian?" Mrs. Li thought of her little granddaughter.

"Mianmian is weak, and she was ill for more than two months after winter, and I didn't call her out when it was cold!" Wei Huayin explained.

Mrs. Li hurriedly asked what the disease was and if it was cured, "The doctors in this capital are better than ours, take good care of them!"

"There is a doctor living in the family now! He has been taking care of him!" Wei Huayin replied to her.

Mrs. Li nodded, seeing that she was not very enthusiastic, and it was not easy to ask too many questions.

Bai Chengzu asked about being impeached before, "My family only heard about it. You were impeached for opening a shop. How did the shop handle it?"

Li Honglian heard him talking about this, so she gave Bai Dalang a push, "You say you can't do business, or you will violate the criminal law! But there is no family brother! Your eldest brother is here to help you!"

Bai Dalang turned his head to look at her and frowned, but when he turned around, he was also worried, "Erlang! Did it affect you a lot? If not, I can help! We are brothers, if you have any problems, just follow me explain!"

"Whoever's wife has a dowry property, but I'm not allowed to run it myself, but I'm not going to prosecute it! Someone wants to pull me down and deliberately impeach me! I can't let Huayin throw away all the dowry property for this! Tang Xiaozhong is in charge now." Bai Yuran said, casting a contemptuous glance at Li Honglian.The idea came to Yin Baoer's head!
Li Honglian felt a chill in his heart when he saw it.

Bai Laosan snorted, "Then Tang Xiaozhong is a servant after all! There are so many people in our family! Your elder brother, your father, and me and Shiro! All of them have been educated and can read. Anyone in the family can help you!"

"I only have 130 taels of silver a year. What can you do for me? Do you want to spend it?" Bai Yuran asked back.

"You husband and wife are not all from your family!" Bai Laosan didn't care.

Bai Yuran warned, "Huayin's dowry property has nothing to do with the Bai family! It has nothing to do with you either! The criminal law of the Jin Dynasty clearly stipulates that dowry is the private property of married women, and no one else can use it in any name!"

He was so tough and defensive, even sharp, which made Bai Chengzu feel a little uncomfortable.As if they were wolfhounds, coming to embezzle their money.

Looking up, he saw Wei Huayin's deep and mocking eyes again, his expression was stiff.

"I'll go and see if the food is ready!" Wei Huayin got up.

Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "I'll go and see! You guys take Mianmian over here! I haven't seen her for half a year!"

Wei Huayin responded, "Someone has already picked it up!"

Zi Ning had already gone back just now, and picked up the wet nurse and Mian Mian.

After being separated for so long, Mian Mian no longer remembered the people in the Bai family, and looked curiously with her big clear and dark eyes.

The nurse hugged her and greeted Bai Chengzu and the others.

Mrs. Li hugged her over, smiled and touched her, "It's grown so big! It's grown fast in the past six months! It's a bit taller!"

Li Honglian saw that she was wearing a pink brocade embroidered skirt and jacket, the fur was made of fur, children grow fast, and this year's clothes would not be worn next year, she was really willing to part with it!The pearls worn on the head are as big as pearls, and it probably costs a lot of money!
My daughter is wearing the best clothes, so comparing them face to face is completely incomparable.

The mother-in-law said that she grows fast, and the food she eats is good and expensive, so it's no wonder she doesn't grow fast!
The food ordered from the restaurant came, and the few dishes cooked in the kitchen were also ready. Depending on the weather, Wei Huayin ordered the food to be served.

Men and women were separated and two tables were set up.

Mrs. Bai Fang sat on the seat, Mrs. Li was on the left, and Li Honglian took Bai Xiang'er.On the right is Mrs. Zhao.

Wei Huayin sat across from her with a small milk bag, and instead of letting her eat by herself, he hugged her and fed her.

Li Honglian looked at Zining and Chunxi, who were not far away, and laughed, "The second younger siblings didn't use maids before, but now that they are in the capital, they have to use beautiful maids!" !
