Chapter 262 The Bai family is looking for trouble
“What else can I say? Just say that you brewed it in Ping’an County, and I don’t know anything else.
Jiang Ning, I didn’t turn back when I fired my bow. The thing had already passed through the emperor’s eyes and entered his mouth. I just pretended that I didn’t know anything. If there is going to be trouble later, you can’t turn me in! "King Xiaoyao reminded again and again.
Jiang Ning sneered, "What? Are you afraid of death?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Can't you just hope that I will be happy? It's so unlucky to talk about death all the time!" King Xiaoyao complained angrily, "You know I just want to be an idle prince who eats, drinks and has fun. , I don’t want to get involved in other things, so don’t cause trouble for me, you know?”
King Xiaoyao threatened fiercely, but without any lethality.
Jiang Ning nodded perfunctorily, stared out the window in a daze, and then asked for a moment: "What's going on with the concubine? Did I provoke her?"
King Xiaoyao looked her up and down, shaking his head repeatedly, "Don't you understand why a big tree attracts the wind? Your background is there, but you have been favored by the emperor and given a title. Everyone will be jealous, but some people are smart and don't He will put his dark thoughts in front of him.
There are some people who can't hold their breath and reveal their thoughts just by opening their mouths. There is also a kind of person who doesn't take you seriously at all. De Fei is this kind of person.
De Concubine’s natal family, the Bai family, was an imperial merchant.
When the Holy Lord founded the country, the Bai family donated half of their family property to help the Holy Lord conquer the world. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he rewarded the Holy Lord based on his merits and made the Bai family the royal merchants. The items used in the palace were given priority from the Bai family.
A businessman! Profit is the first priority in everything. Qi State often encounters some natural and man-made disasters. Food is needed for disaster relief and food is needed for border wars.
The more serious the natural and man-made disasters are, the more money they make. To put it bluntly, they are cutting leeks from the people and killing them when they are sick. At this time, no matter how poor the poor are, they will use their family funds to exchange for food. If they have no family resources, they will sell their children and daughters. Promote economic development in many industries.
You have made a taro and white potato, which can feed even the barren land at the border. Even if there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, the people will still have enough food, and they will not be afraid of starving to death. They will not have to sell their sons and daughters, and they will not have to empty their homes to buy food.
Think about it, how many people’s businesses will be affected by this? However, they have a hard time saying it, because they will definitely be sprayed to death if they say anything, so they can only curse you secretly.
The ancestors of the Bai family were grain merchants. Nowadays, the business is big and involves all aspects, but grain is still their foundation. You have impacted the foundation of the Bai family's business. It's strange that Concubine De thinks you have a good face. "
Jiang Ning laughed angrily and couldn't help but curse, "This woman is crazy! Does the Emperor know what she is thinking?"
King Xiaoyao nodded slightly, "Brother Huang is so smart, how could he not know that Concubine De's face changed as soon as she targeted your brother today, but it's hard for him to say anything in front of so many people. After all, Concubine De represents the royal family. It’s a shame, but I don’t know if Brother Huang will punish him after he returns to the palace.”
Jiang Ning said nothing again.
In a blink of an eye, the day came when Baiweilou opened.
Jiang Ning asked Huazhi to pack it up for her early and went out before dawn.
Red silk flutters outside the Baiwei Building. There are some flower baskets standing at the door. The flower baskets are filled with colorful sugar flowers, which look beautiful, elegant and novel.
Usually, flowers are placed at the door of a business owner’s house. The more expensive they are, the deeper the business’ heritage. Everyone knows that the Yang family is poor and cannot get expensive flowers, so many people are ready to come and watch the joke.
Mrs. Bai came with her daughter Bai Yuzhu in a gorgeous carriage. Surrounded by her servants, she got out of the car arrogantly. She looked critically at the flower basket at the door and covered her face with a handkerchief in disgust, "Everything comes to dirty this lady." Eyes!"
Xiao Chongyun, who had his back to Mrs. Bai, had just taken a sugar flower from his small hand. When he heard this, he turned around subconsciously, and the frown on his tense face became even tighter.
Madam Bai naturally saw Xiao Chongyun, but she had never met Prince Xiaoyao and did not know Xiao Chongyun's identity at all. Seeing that he was dressed in a low-key manner, she thought he was just an ordinary official's son. She did not hide her disdain and said, "I have never seen him before." The little things in the world, even a piece of candy is a treasure!”
As she said this, Mrs. Bai strode towards the door, and as she passed by the waiter, she snorted angrily, "It's so shameful that we don't even have potted flowers for the opening. Is it worthy of the name mentioned by the emperor?" "
"What this madam said is absolutely right." Jiang Ning was just inside the door and listened to every word of what Madam Bai said. "If madam looks down on her so much, why bother herself to enter our restaurant?"
Madam Bai glanced at Jiang Ning up and down, full of disdain, "You must be Uncle Guang En! Why do I think I'm such a big shot? There are more than one people in this capital who have been honored by the Emperor, but one as arrogant as you is. Not common.
You are right, my wife really doesn’t like this wretched place! I just came here to remind you that this is the capital, not a remote place like yours. Don’t be too self-righteous. You won’t even know how you died! "
Liu Ye was so angry that she was stopped by Jiang Ning just as she was about to step forward, "I wonder who this lady is?"
"De Fei's sister-in-law, she's just a merchant." Xiaoyao Wang slowly came down from the second floor with a wine bottle in his hand, exuding an unruly and unruly attitude.
Madam Bai had never met Prince Xiaoyao, but she had met King Xiaoyao a few times. Her expression was now a bit more shameful and angry. She did not dare to do anything to King Xiaoyao, and directly pointed the finger at Jiang Ning, "Uncle Guang En is so kind. What a skill! Even King Xiaoyao fell under your pomegranate skirt, but I don’t know where the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion was defeated!”
A sound of “pop!”.
Mrs. Bai was slapped before she could react.
She screamed uncontrollably and turned angrily to look at the person who beat her, only to meet He's fire-breathing eyes.
"Who do you think you are! You're just a businessman, but you dare to arrange my daughter like this in public. If Mrs. Japan doesn't teach you a lesson today, won't you confirm the rumors!" He roared sternly, almost pointing at Bai Bai. The lady's nose scolded.
Bai Yuzhu saw that her mother was at a disadvantage, so she rushed forward and pointed at Sun Ling'er angrily, "You admit it yourself, what does it have to do with my mother? Now that King Xiaoyao is here, you go and fight for it. You can't even compare to a widow. What a shame." We, the noble ladies of the capital, are in disgrace.”
"Miss Bai, be careful! I have never said anything that is out of bounds, and I am completely innocent with King Xiaoyao. It is just you who have speculated and poured dirty water on me. Everyone is here today, so I will take the opportunity to clarify it to avoid rumors." The more rumors spread, the more outrageous it becomes, affecting the reputation of my Sun family."
Sun Ling'er stood up, looking neither humble nor arrogant, completely gone from the timid and weak look he had that day at Guang Enbo's Mansion.
Mrs. He felt relieved, glanced at her eldest daughter with satisfaction, and straightened her waist more and more, "Miss Bai, you all heard clearly what my daughter said! After all, you are also a young lady raised by an imperial merchant. How could you talk to that market man?" Women usually talk behind their backs?
In the past, my daughter did not refute because the pure person is self-righteous and is not afraid of a slanted shadow. I didn’t expect that your rumors became more and more outrageous. What are your intentions? "
