It was the boy's father who pulled the boy to his knees and kowtowed to Bai Ling.
"Thank you, Miss, for your support. Our family can follow Miss, and it is our blessing that this baby can stay with the young master."
The man is only in his twenties, but his temples are a little gray, which shows how much pain he has experienced.
After being sold into slavery, you will be raped a lot. As long as you are not mentally retarded, it is a good thing to stay with your master. Then you are the best among slaves.
Once you gain the favor of your master, you might be able to regain your freedom.
Bai Ling asked people to get up. Bai Sanshu and his daughter over there also selected a few people, and Bai Ling settled the money.
The ownership of the house has not been transferred yet, so the group will stay in the inn for one night today, so they will have to open a few more rooms.
"Second sister, isn't the little boy my book boy? Why do you want to give me another one?" Bai Xiaoshan went to Bai Ling specifically to ask his doubts.
"Although the child is literate and has learned a lot of rules from Uncle Fu, he doesn't have much time to learn kung fu. In the future, when you go to study or travel outside, your parents can rest assured if there are people around you to take care of them, right? You put your mind on learning.
If you go, the child can take care of your daily life, but someone needs to be responsible for the escort. It is best to let someone else be there unexpectedly, which will be a greater guarantee for you."
Bai Ling didn't want to talk about the dark side of the officialdom. After all, she was still far away from Bai Xiaoshan, but she had to prepare for a rainy day.
On the second day, Bai Shao acted as a shopping guide and took the Bai family and his family on a shopping spree, while Bai Ling went to handle the transfer of ownership with Li Fa.
However, Bai Ling came to relax with his family this time and did not plan to visit the Ouyang family and the Duan family.
As for the winter wheat, the Bai family has finished harvesting it and is selling what needs to be sold, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, the county magistrate still has a lot of follow-up things to do. The Duan family has a lot of fields and villages, so he will probably be busy. After all, this is the first time for large-scale planting this year, so the head family will pay special attention to it.
After getting the deed, Bai Ling took the new buyer to the house to clean it. From today on, there is no need to stay in the inn.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was around, Bai Ling took the carriage around and took out a lot of cloth, grain and other items in the space, which could save a lot of money.
These things were all swept away from the Yu family, and this was the first time Bai Ling touched them.
"This county town is better than the town. There are more things, and the same thing is much cheaper. No wonder you buy a lot of things every time you come to the county town."
Bai Liu came home from a day of shopping and said with a smile on her face:
"What do you think of the fabrics Mom bought for you? I'll ask the embroiderer to cut you some new clothes later. We haven't bought any new clothes at home this summer."
Since life at home has improved, what Bai Liu is most willing to do is to improve the food for her family and make new clothes for her children.
Bai Ling looked at the cloths piled on the table by her servants. The colors were bright and eye-catching, but none of them were her cup of tea!
Not to mention the fabrics in Bai Ling's space are the fabrics received at home and the fabrics Bai Ling bought in Fucheng. There is no need to purchase these this year.
However, Bai Ling couldn't say anything to dissuade Bai Liu's enthusiasm, so he said: "Mom should buy more things for yourself. Dad often goes out, so he should prepare more clothes."
"I bought it, I bought it all." Mrs. Bai Liu suddenly blushed and changed the topic embarrassedly: "Mother knew that you didn't care about these bright things, so she gave you a silk one. This long white one is just right for wearing a goose yellow one.
.”
The old lady at the back came in with a piece of silk cloth. At first glance, she could tell that it was of different quality than those in the room.
"My mother is the most partial. As soon as she saw the silk material, she said that this second girl looked good in her clothes. She bought it without even asking the price. She bought these fabrics for us, but after a lot of bargaining, we still felt that they were expensive.
It’s over.”
Bai Wei said with a disgusted look on her face.
"Your second sister is busy buying clothes and makeup for you, but she doesn't even have time to go shopping. You still have the nerve to say this."
Bai Cao grabbed Bai Wei, pointed at the brocade box in her hand and said:
"You are not the same. You are not willing to buy anything for yourself, but you only bought a headdress for your second sister. You are more partial than your mother."
Bai Wei's pretty face turned red, she pushed the brocade box into Bai Ling's arms, and said uncomfortably:
"It's not as beautiful as the ones you gave me, but it's pure gold. If you don't like it, just melt it."
Bai Ling opened it and saw that it turned out to be a pure gold head and face. It was very heavy and cost at least several hundred taels of silver to get it off.
Bai Ling doesn't like gold jewelry, but what's rare is Bai Wei's sincerity.
Before Bai Ling could say anything provocative, Bai Wei said, "Sister, don't just talk about me. Didn't you guys also buy something for the second sister? Why don't you take it out?"
After being glared at by the three siblings, Bai Wei touched her nose in embarrassment, hugged a piece of cloth she picked, said to Bai Cao and borrowed the embroidery she bought for her use, and left the house.
Bai Ling didn't expect that she didn't go shopping, but her family bought her gifts. No matter whether they were expensive or not, they were precious and meaningful to her.
After buying the property, Bai Ling went shopping with his family for a day.
When I rarely go out, I want to invite my family to a big restaurant for a meal.
Although the food at Bai's house is good, sometimes what you eat is about the feeling and atmosphere. After all, home and restaurant are different.
Bai Ling would occasionally take Bai Xiaoshan to eat at restaurants or small shops in the town, but this was the first time for the whole family to come to a big restaurant together.
The siblings were very excited. This was one of the best restaurants in the county. They had never imagined that they could come to a place like this to eat.
"It seems that all the diners are wearing sleek clothes. It's not cheap to have a meal, isn't it?" Mrs. Bai Liu regretted it after entering the restaurant, and she felt uncomfortable all over when she sat down.
"Second Sister, if you don't miss this little money, Mom will eat it freely." Bai Wei said, without forgetting to wink at Bai Ling and ask: "Am I right, Second Sister?"
"You said it, can I slap myself in the face?" Bai Ling was speechless. This twin sister just liked to slap her Qiu Feng.
All right.
It's true that Bai Wei is stingy, but her stinginess is directed at everyone except Bai Ling, which Bai Ling is somewhat relieved about.
"Second brother, I'll serve you some of your signature dishes. We'll also set up a table outside, and we won't have to drink any more."
The family sat inside, and outside there was a table for the servants.
"Dear guests, wait a moment, the wine and food... the signature dishes will be delivered soon." Seeing that he is a man who is willing to spend money, the waiter responded happily.
It has to be said that big restaurants still have their own specialties. Most of their signature dishes are a variety of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they taste really good.
It's just that for the sake of beautiful presentation, the quantity of dishes is not large. Fortunately, there are many dishes, which is enough to fill you up.
After the family finished eating, Bai Ling went downstairs to pay the bill first, so that Bai Liu wouldn't feel distressed after seeing how much money was spent and couldn't sleep well at night.
"Hey, the girl looks unfamiliar. Did she just move to the county?" Just as Bai Ling was about to take out the money, a scornful voice came.
He raised his head and glanced at the other person. Seeing that the young man's eyes were bruised and he looked like he was a drunkard all the time, Bai Ling was too lazy to talk to him.
"Meeting each other is fate. As my brother, I'm the one who bought this meal. The shopkeeper will charge it to my account."
The young master pressed his folding fan on the back of Bai Ling's hand, preventing her from taking the money, and said in a pretentious manner:
"I am the son of the county magistrate. My uncle is an official in the capital. I don't know the girl's name?" (To be continued)
