"This is natural!" Bai Qiyun's face cleared slightly.
Bai Qingyan nodded and looked at Dong: "A few days ago, my grandmother told me that after the grand funeral of the Duke's Mansion, there was a meaning of asking me to return to my ancestral home, Shuoyang. I originally planned to go with you in the next few days.
Let me talk about our ancestral home idle in Shuoyang... Renovation! Butler Hao said that his grandfather had this idea for a long time, and ordered the old butler who was visiting the house to send the repair drawings. Our ancestral home is already big
If it is repaired properly, it will cost about 180,000 taels of silver, which is not considered to be adding some things. Because the amount is huge, our Duke's Mansion cannot take it out for a while, so it will be put on hold."
Bai Qiyun's heart was thrilled, thinking that Bai Qingyan wanted to repair his ancestral home, so he would just make excuses and not give money!
Bai Qiyun's face turned pale.
He said just now that the female family members of the Duke's Mansion wanted to return to their ancestral homes, which was what he said. If they wanted to go back, they must be the most important thing to build their ancestral homes first. He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, but he still sneered: "A hundred-year-old general of the Duke's Mansion
The house, I can’t get 180,000 taels of silver when repairing the ancestral home. Who are you cousining?! Take a casual handful of military rations and military salaries in the Duke’s Mansion... More than this number was revealed in the cracks of my fingers!"
Her eyes darkened: "My uncle is careful! You are over 100 years old, and you are so unconscious. Corruption of military rations and military pay is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. My uncle dares to say... Our country's government dares not accept it.
”
Bai Qiyun pursed his lips, and he was indeed angry and speechless for a moment.
After a deep look at Bai Qiyun, she continued to say to Dong: "Build land for the clan, build ancestral temples, ancestral halls, ancestral tombs, and school things. Since my grandfather agreed, even if my grandfather is not here, we have to
If you do it, the clan needs 450,000 taels, and if you repair your ancestral home, you will be considered 200,000 taels. That’s 650,000 taels!"
Bai Qiyun's eyebrows were leaping straight, and this was indeed not a small number.
"Mother, you and your aunts must not be able to move the dowry. Even if you want to build the Bai family's ancestral temple, ancestral hall, ancestral tomb, and school, and purchase land for the tribe, no matter where you go, there is no reason for the daughter-in-law to get the dowry!
My daughter thought about it and sold all the shops and houses in the Duke's Mansion! And the farmlands in the suburbs of the capital were also sold to raise money. Anyway, the widow of the Duke's Mansion would still return to Shuoyang to rely on the clan.
Just leave cleanly, stop leaving any ties to the capital..."
Bai Qiyun and the two shuo masters in Shuoyang were stunned. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyan said this and said something like this, but he didn't want to refuse. He only said this.
Dong looked at his daughter with a suspicious look, but saw her smile at her, nodding her head. Dong frowned and calmed down, picked up the teacup and said, "These family businesses cannot be sold just by selling them."
Bai Qiyun was very upset. The industries such as the Duke's Mansion made money in the capital. If the Duke's Mansion sold the Changjie shops and other things to raise money, he could quietly ask the Duke's Officer to buy one or two rooms.
, there will be no worries in the future.
"I know my uncle is anxious and said I will prepare it tomorrow!" She sneered and turned her head to Dong and said, "Mother, Xiao Rongyan, the richest businessman, is still in the capital. It happens that our mansion is Chen Qingsheng and Xiao Mansion are in our mansion.
The housekeeper is very familiar with each other and can ask Mr. Hao and Chen Qingsheng to ask. Looking at the world, only Xiao Rongyan can take out such a large sum of money in a moment."
"Actually..." Bai Qiyun spoke, swallowed the words back, and said, "Actually, Qing Yan is right!"
He originally wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, and even wanted to persuade Dong and Bai Qingyan to sell at a good price slowly so that he could give him time to make profits.
But as soon as he said this, it was contrary to what he was anxious to ask for tomorrow, so he could only swallow the words back.
"Since I've agreed, let the three cousins and uncles give me a serious incense stick to my grandfather and father, and tell them about the clan's affairs. Our Duke's Mansion also let our grandfather and father know that the clan inherited our Duke's Mansion.
In the future, the clan will take good care of the widow of the Duke's Mansion, and it's also good... to reassure my grandfather and father!"
Bai Qingyan's words are reasonable. If he can't even give a promise if he can't even make a promise!
Seeing that Bai Qiyun didn't say anything, the two silence masters in Shuoyang gently pulled Bai Qiyun's sleeve and said in a voice that they could hear: "Cousin, this is reasonable... The Duke's Mansion has taken care of the clan in recent years.
There are quite a lot, and you were too anxious just now. As soon as you entered the door, you told the prince’s wife that this matter was told. Many people have seen it. Just to save the first and second place, you should indeed wear a good incense stick."
"Yes! The Duke's Mansion paid for the money and the clan gained benefits. What their orphans and widows wanted was nothing more than face. It was worth it to say a few words to the Bai family's widow's words in front of the guests who came to pay their respects!
Besides... if you say this in front of the visitor, the Duke's Mansion can't rely on the orphans and widows to cheat and refuse to pay money!"
Bai Qiyun was too anxious just now. He wanted to say this before his two younger brothers said goodbye, and he didn't intend to burn incense.
Since the goal was achieved, he no longer had to look arrogant. The Duke's mansion was always holding funerals.
"I didn't mean it was not intended to burn incense, but I was just a little anxious!" Bai Qiyun cleared his throat and said, "Since this matter has been finalized, I will report to the Duke and the Prince of China so that they can know!
The prince’s wife... I hope he will forgive me if you offend me!"
Dong turned his head to Madam Qin and said, "Madam Qin, you can take three masters to burn incense."
"Yes!" Madam Qin put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, respectfully saluted the three masters of the Bai family in Shuoyang and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing the three men leaving the hall, Dong stood up and asked, "Abao, what medicine are you selling in the gourd?"
The Duke of Zhenguo can afford the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but the clan is doing this too annoying. Even if you want to give it, it will be so refreshing!
"My mother..." Bai Qingyan took Dong's arm and walked towards the mourning hall in front and said, "Since we are going to return to our ancestral home in Shuoyang, it is better to be clean and neat this time instead of being exploited by the clans all the time.
All the industries on hand are sold out! Taking advantage of the grandfather’s mourning hall being set up outside the courtyard, Jin Zhi and Jin Tong made the matter big, so that the clan and the world know that we were forced to help this time
Support the clan...even the industry in hand is sold. After the clan people took the money this time, they could no longer ask our orphans and widows to help the clan because of fear. This is one of them."
"The second... is to take the attitude of withdrawing from Dadu to reassure the emperor?" Dong asked.
