Chapter 871： Reciprocity

Chapter 871 Reciprocity

“I often say that whether the clothes are good or the fabric is good, I feel very happy when I look at them. Even if I don’t wear them, just looking at them makes me feel very comfortable.”

"I guess I'm just going where I want to go."

Jiang Huanrun found an excuse at random, but when he said it he felt very unsure and his voice was a little low.

Seeing him like this, Bai Lixia didn't ask any more questions and just led Jiang Huanrun to select fabrics.

“I bought some fabric this time, so I guess I won’t be able to come here for a while.” Jiang Huanrun said suddenly.

"Oh? Is there something going on at home?" Bai Lixia asked.

“It’s about my studies.” Jiang Huanrun replied, “For this year’s scientific examination, my parents helped me find a teacher and asked me to follow him for half a year.”

“I heard that this gentleman was ranked second in high school and served in the Hanlin Academy. However, he later became ill and could not continue to serve as an official, so he requested an imperial edict to return home.”

“My father had previously worked in the Hanlin Academy, and he and that gentleman were colleagues, and they had similar temperaments. When my father mentioned this, he asked me to stay there for the first half of the year.”

“I’m going to stay there for half a year and prepare for the exam in August. I’m afraid it won’t be until September when I come back.”

"Since it's about studying, it's business. Your parents have plans for you, so you have to obey them." Bai Lixia said with a smile, "Then I would like to first wish you all the best in this scientific examination and a title on the gold list. ”

“Then I’ll lend you some good luck first.” Jiang Huanrun smiled and arched his eyebrows, “By the way, I’ll give this to you.”

Jiang Huanrun took out a sachet and stuffed it into Bai Lixia, "This is a blessing of peace. I went to the temple with my mother to ask for it on the 15th. It is very effective. Take it with you to ensure peace."

Bai Lixia thought for a moment and reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Jiang Huanrun's smile became even stronger, "I think the materials over there are good, so I'll buy some and make some clothes to take away."

These materials are what he wants to make clothes for himself?

Bai Lixia's thoughts moved, "You have been taking care of Linglong Pavilion's business all these days, and you are also a regular customer. You just gave me a purse with Ping Anfu, so I will give you these two pieces of material. "

"It can be regarded as reciprocity." Bai Lixia added.

Bai Lixia wants to give him something?

Jiang Huanrun naturally nodded in agreement, "That will cost you money."

Give him cloth, which will be used to make clothes and wear them...

Rounding up, it’s roughly equivalent to Bai Lixia giving him clothes.

This ordinary person would never give him clothes. Since Bai Lixia gave him clothes, does that mean...

Jiang Huanrun smiled, his eyes narrowed into thin slits.

Spring passes to summer solstice.

Bai Lixia celebrated her fifteenth birthday at the end of May.

Since she grew up, Bai Lixia feels that she has become a real adult. From now on, she will have to do things for the family and share the worries of her parents.

Hence, not only Linglong Pavilion, but also Heng Zhixuan and Bai's Medicinal Materials Store would go to help when there was a shortage of manpower. To use the words of others, Bai Lixia has now become a brick and needs to be moved wherever it goes.

Bai Lixia is becoming more and more familiar with the business in the shop, and is becoming more and more responsible. Bai Shitang does not need to worry too much about the affairs of these shops. He only needs to go back to accompany Su Mulan and the two children at home. Guy.

The two little ones are learning to crawl now. They can occasionally stand a little, and they are almost toddling again.

Especially the two little ones are lively, love to laugh, and are chubby. They can already speak eloquently and call them daddy and mommy, which makes them very popular.

Shiraishi Tang really wants to stay at home every day.

When it came to Su Mulan, she joked with him, "In other families, the parents work hard and the children enjoy happiness. In our family, the children work hard outside and the parents take care of themselves at home?"

"Now that the children have grown up, it's time to get busy." Bai Shitang rubbed Bai Yuling's little head in his arms and said with a smile, "But I will definitely not let them be busy in vain. When autumn comes, I will I’m thinking of buying some more land and letting them take care of it themselves.”

Baishui Liu's wedding day is set for the end of this year, and the marriages of her other children have not yet been settled.

 Baishitang will give them some land in the autumn, which means distributing the family property in advance. By the way, it is also an additional dowry for the daughters.

Although land is not as rich and expensive as a shop, it is a steady stream of income and it is the most appropriate thing to provide your children with land.

"You are a father, so you only have to worry about these things." Su Mulan smiled, "I am a bit more vulgar, and I will only give the children the money to press the boxes."

"Speaking of it, mothers are more generous." Bai Shitang chuckled, "Just talking about money and land, my eldest brother sent me a letter and asked me to help check if there are any suitable tea gardens."

“Looking at my brother’s intention, I also want to buy a big tea garden and start my own tea business in the future to make a name for myself.”

Since knowing the good news from Wan Xinyue, Wan Pengyun has become more and more focused on business, always feeling that what he left to his children is not enough.

As both parents, Su Mulan can understand what he means.

but…

Su Mulan paused, "Why didn't you leave this matter to your second brother?"

 Pan Liangjin was very repelled by Baishitang. After Baishitang resigned, Wan Pengyun was also concerned about some matters within the Chamber of Commerce, and he was somewhat distant from Baishitang in order to appease Pan Liangjin.

Since the tea business is about to start now, Wan Pengyun's priority is to send Pan Liang in to do the work.

"You may not believe it when I tell you. It was my second brother who proposed this matter, saying that I would be the most suitable person to do it." Bai Shitang replied.

"Oh? This is a bit rare. Could it be that the second brother wants to test you again?"

"Probably not." Bai Shitang said, "Eldest brother left a lot of property to Xinyue. Xinyue originally wanted me to help take care of it, but I declined, so she had no choice but to borrow some people from her eldest brother to take care of it. When we were short of manpower, we borrowed some from my second brother.”

“Second brother probably feels that I am not even willing to seize such a good opportunity to maintain a relationship with the Chamber of Commerce. Maybe I really don’t have evil intentions towards the Chamber of Commerce as he said, so I feel relieved.”

"The tea garden thing this time is not a test, but he definitely has the intention of observation. But it doesn't matter what he thinks. Since the eldest brother wants to do this, I just have the right people and connections here. If you can do it, just do it with all your heart.”

“Many times, if you don’t think too much, you won’t have so many troubles.”

“That’s right.” Su Mulan smiled and nodded.
