The Eldest Daughter is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 102 Friendship

Seeing Bai Qingyan nodding, Dong patted her daughter's hand with distressed eyes. If her daughter's grandfather, father, and younger brothers were all there, why would she use her daughter's family to worry about the family's future?

She smiled and squeezed Dong's hand: "Aniang knows everything in her heart, and my daughter can't hide anything from Aniang."

"But Xiao Rongyan, a wealthy businessman from the Great Wei Dynasty, can he buy so many shops and fertile farmland in one go?" Mrs. Dong carefully calculated while holding her daughter, "This is not a sum!"

"This is what I want to talk to my mother. I asked Chen Qingsheng to tell Xiao Rongyan that this matter is only in his name, and the money will be paid by our Duke's Mansion. Only this way can the Duke's Mansion be brought to light. All the shops and farms in the country are private, and you still hold them." Bai Qingyan looked at Dong, "I just don't know...whether our Duke's mansion can afford 450,000 taels for a while. Clan people?"

Mrs. Dong paused when she heard Bai Qingyan's words, remembering what her younger brother Dong Qingyue told her yesterday... The reason why the axle of Xinwang's carriage broke was because of the extremely skilled guard beside Xiao Rongyan. Today, Xiao Rongyan also came to the Duke's Mansion to worship early in the morning, and it was the guards around Xiao Rongyan who rescued the fourth sibling who was about to crash into the coffin.

She grabbed her daughter's hand tightly: "You and Xiao Rongyan, have you met in private? Are there... contacts?! You and A Niang tell the truth!"

Dong's questions were like a cannonball, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the reason. Although the scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants ranked last, the Jin State was not so lowly merchants. Not to mention that Xiao Rong is handsome and unrestrained, the elegant temperament of a scholar is even more outstanding! Needless to say her daughter's appearance is extraordinary, could it be that the two of them... have a friendship? ! Otherwise, how could Bai Qingyan be sure that Xiao Rongyan would help the government?

If Bai Qingyan really has a friendship with Xiao Rongyan, then she has to make another plan, and the method that she talked to her mother, Mrs. Dong, cannot be used.

It is important for her daughter to be safe, but it is also important for her to have a smooth and happy life in addition to being safe.

Right now, the people of the capital city are standing behind the Bai family, and the emperor won't take the Duke's mansion for a while. If the daughter really has feelings for this businessman, she needs to start planning right now. , she dared to entrust her daughter to him.

With Xiao Rongyan's bearing, how can he be a businessman? ! If he lets his daughter follow him, it will not only be a low marriage, I am afraid that in the eyes of the world, it will be self-sacrificing and contemptuous!

There is no reason for an ordinary noble family to marry their daughter into a merchant, let alone a Zanying family with a hundred years of glory known to all countries like the Zhen Guo Gongfu.

In just a moment, Dong's heart has been turned a thousand times.

Seeing Dong's unpredictable expression, Bai Qingyan said to Dong, "Today I went to Zheliu Pavilion outside the city to send someone off, and I ran into Xiao Rongyan and said a few words. However, my daughter asked Chen Qingsheng to discuss this matter with Xiao Rongyan The reason for this is not because I feel that after a few encounters, I can get this face from Xiao Rongyan with just a few words."

She supported her mother along the way, while explaining to Dong in a low voice: "Since Xiao Rongyan entered the metropolis, my mother has thought about Xiao Rongyan's style of spending a lot of money. What he wants is to be famous in this metropolis, and even in the state of Jin. The title of Wei's No. 1 rich businessman has become the world's No. 1 rich businessman, letting the world know that there is such a number one person as Xiao Rongyan!"

"Now the Duke's Mansion in the Jin Kingdom is attracting the attention of the entire country. For Xiao Rongyan...what can he achieve his goal faster than swallowing all the shops and farmland in the hands of the Duke's Mansion in one go?"

When Bai Qingyan was just standing on the porch, he had thought about everything in his heart. At the palace banquet, Xiao Rongyan said that he would wait for the 15th Lantern Festival in the capital city before leaving. Why? It is nothing more than wanting to use the Lantern Festival when scholars from all over the world gather in the metropolis to show off their financial resources and make a name for themselves as the world's richest businessman.

But now because of the funeral at the Duke's Mansion, this expectation may be dashed.

That being the case, Bai Qingyan sent the opportunity to Xiao Rongyan. Xiao Rongyan is such a smart person, he will never miss this opportunity to show his financial power to the world...and make the Duke's Mansion owe him a favor.

Seeing her daughter's introverted and sharp eyes, Mrs. Dong grabbed her cold hand and asked, "This Mr. Xiao...is a very respectable man in terms of appearance and character, how do you treat him..."

She didn't realize what her mother said for a while, but when she did, she was confused by her mother: "Mother, where are you going? I know what I am like, and I have made up my mind to rely on my mother in this life. What's more, our Duke's Mansion is struggling even more now, how can there be room for me to have such a little daughter's mind?"

Without waiting for Dong to speak, she said again: "Mother, no matter what it is, we will wait until the funerals of grandfather, father, uncle and younger brothers are over."

Dong's eyes were red, he choked up and nodded.

"Mrs. Shizi, big girl."

Seeing that Mr. Gu came out with the support of the servant, he saluted and hurriedly asked: "Where is the fourth master Qiyun from the clan? Gone?"

Mr. Gu is a loyal servant of the Duke's Mansion. Since the great ancestor, Mr. Gu's ancestors have been in the Duke's Mansion for generations.

Mr. Gu has been in charge of the most important account house in the mansion for these years, and Mr. Gu is in charge of money management, so Mr. Gu is very popular no matter in the Duke's Mansion or in the Shuoyang clan.

Just now when Bai Qiyun came to look for Mrs. Dong on airs, Nanny Qin quietly sent someone to find Mr. Gu to settle the matter, but she didn't expect that Bai Qingyan would settle the matter after a while, and Mr. Gu came a step late.

"Just now, my mother agreed to the request of the clan, and planned to sell all the shops and farm properties in the Duke's mansion to make up the money. My uncle has already gone to the front to offer incense and tell my grandfather and father." Bai Qingyan said respectfully. The old man said.

"Go and argue with them, old man!" Mr. Gu walked forward tremblingly while leaning on a cane.

"ancient……"

Dong Shi was about to call Mr. Gu, but Bai Qingyan grabbed her. She took a deep look at Gu Gu's back, and looked back at Dong Shi calmly and calmly: "Mother, it's just right for Gu Gu to add fire!"

The sun has set, gathering the last ray of light from the sky.

In front of the mourning hall in the front yard, under the flickering candlelight, Bai Qiyun finally kowtowed solemnly.

He knelt on the futon and said, "Uncle and cousin, although you have gone, the younger siblings keep their promises. Before, the uncle promised to build ancestral halls, ancestral temples, ancestral graves, and schools for the clan. The younger siblings have all agreed. !"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinzhi said angrily according to Bai Qing's words: "What?! Aunt agreed?!"
