Sweet Beauty Chapter 101: Place it up
The Jinjiang system is anti-theft. Only when the proportion of VIP chapters purchased is more than 40%, you can see the latest update. The things in the room were even neglected to take care of Jing Shu. The last time, Jing Shu was mistakenly allowed to eat the wrong food, which caused Jing Shu to become seriously ill. Afterwards, she fled to Zhuangzi to shirk responsibility and lived there for more than a month.
On the side of the White House in Beijing, he also instructed Mrs. Chen. If the old lady asks about it in the future, he can only answer in this way.
Although Mrs. Chen does not want to involve her daughter, she also knows that if this matter spreads and is used by someone with a heart, it will definitely affect the relationship between the brothers and sisters of Bai Yanzhang and Bai Jingyu's two original spouses, herself and her daughter. However, if her daughter is to marry in Beijing in the future, she really needs the support of the Bai family, and it is not appropriate to have a stiff relationship with Bai Yanzhang, so she has no choice but to accept it.
It's just that regardless of whether Bai Yanzhang knew about it or not, the old lady Bai in Beijing noticed something in her heart but turned a blind eye, which made Chen's heart completely chill.
After all, Madam Lan is Madam Bai's person, and Madam Bai is not the only eyeliner that Madam Lan has. That warm fragrance is a precious medicine. Madam Lan has deliberately brought it from Beijing continuously over the years. Madam Bai is really Without noticing?
And Lan Ma is just a mama, and no one is behind her to incite and provoke. Chen really can't believe that she will be so assertive and dare to "think" for the little master like this.
Chen couldn't help but think of her daughter's slandering words a few days ago, asking her to clearly distinguish her dowry industry from the properties that her master has purchased over the years, and also let her master know and have this awareness.
At the time, she felt it was unnecessary and didn't care too much.
Although the Bai family was a well-known scholar family in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty, the war and the reform of the new dynasty had long ago destroyed the Bai family's property. He is also lofty and respectful, and will not accept bribes or do some gray tricks. In fact, if he really counts these years, he has not accumulated any property. On the contrary, he has married the Chen family, and he has to send them to the White House in Beijing every year. A lot of property was spent on the White House in Beijing, but in fact, most of it was also Chen's dowry.
It's just that Mr. Bai's second master is not familiar with household affairs. Since Mr. Chen married him, Mr. Bai's second family will be in charge of Mr. Chen's family. Mr. Chen will also buy some properties in the name of Mr. Bai's second master. The second master has never worried about these things. In fact, he has long since blurred the concept between his property and Chen's dowry.
In the properties managed by the Chen family, except for the original Chen family dowry, the second master Bai didn't realize that the rest were actually the Chen family's, not his, the Bai family's.
This is also the reason why Mr. Bai Er asked Chen to buy a dowry for the eldest daughter of his ex-wife, and he didn't think it was wrong. It is also the reason why he subconsciously believed that "his property" should be inherited by his eldest son instead of his wife's dowry to his younger daughter under the constant instillation of Mrs. Bai.
The Bai family is not rich, and even the Bai family is very poor. How to marry a young daughter is actually a dowry of 100,200,000 and 200,000 taels, and the property is so large that the eyes of the big families in Beijing are lost. one place?
Other Bai family daughters get married but only give five hundred taels!
Chen is a businesswoman and has a clear sense of industry, but Mr. Bai Er is a stereotypical husband who adheres to the "old manners and good morals". When his wife marries him, he will be his own, and he will give her all the family business. In fact, apart from the dowries that were carried from the Chen family to the Bai family, he really didn't think that the family's property should actually belong to his wife and not "them".
Since Chen's marriage to Mr. Bai's second master, he is in charge of himself in Shu. There is no conflict, and their respective diametrically opposed property concepts are not so clearly exposed.
But now what happened to the blue mammy, they are about to return to Beijing. The eldest daughter of the second master Bai is about to get married. The second master has also mentioned that she should go back to Beijing to help Bai Jingyu buy a dowry. Chen shi didn't care too much before, but now he suddenly woke up as if he had been hit with a stick.
How many times the businessman's uncles and brothers fought more cruelly than their mortal enemies because of their property?
She is only a scholarly family of the Bai family, and she behaves well. She was originally poor and had no property to contend for. The current ancestral property of the Bai family is less than a fraction of her own property, and she has never liked it.
But they actually calculated her to make her childless! Is it really because she doesn't know about Bai Yanzhang, and she just uses Bai Yanzhang as a pretense, the purpose is to leave her alone, so that she can have a good grip on her, and even, in the future, her property will fall into the hands of the Bai family?
What else can they not calculate?
What if someone became greedy and then attacked their daughter?
She has only one daughter, and marrying her is equivalent to marrying a huge amount of property. Over the years, Jingshu has been raised by her in Shu and has become more and more beautiful. If these people are interested in their daughters On...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen felt cold all over her body.
No, she must be fully prepared, and she must not let anyone calculate and hurt her daughter!
Chen's family is not stupid. It was because she was too far away from Beijing and didn't get along very well. In her eyes, the Bai family had no assets, so she didn't care too much. Moreover, she had always had a harmonious and loving relationship with the second master Bai. Only then did he lose his vigilance. Now that Mr. Chen is alert, the business consciousness that was born and nurtured in his body began to act.
She counted all her properties, recruited a few big stewards from outside, and sent a book to the stewards in Beijing, instructing them that their own property should not be questioned by anyone other than herself and her daughter Jingshu. For inquiries, just use some of the industries that were on the surface in the initial dowry to be vague.
These stewards were either brought by her from the Chen family or cultivated by her, and they were all loyal.
She thought of her daughter's recent changes, the Wen family affairs, the blue mama's affairs, and at first it was her daughter who reminded herself about the industry. She felt that she had grown up enough to know these things, and that she was not so easy to be caught. To be fooled, he asked his daughter to watch her deal with these affairs, and even showed her the property list directly to let her know.
Let her daughter take her dowry booklet from that year to help her count her dowry and re-register it.
Finally, she took stock of the family's belongings and ornaments that she had purchased, but it was hard to tell, and the properties under the name of Mr. Bai Er.
Let's talk back to Mr. Bai Er, what happened to Mammy Lan, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and because the eldest son in the family was involved, Mammy Lan was still his mother's person, he felt a little ashamed towards his wife, it was difficult to In the face, he was worried that his wife would give birth to his eldest son.
Fortunately, although Mrs. Chen felt a chill in her heart and began to set up fortifications resolutely, she and Mr. Bai had a long-term relationship as husband and wife, and she knew that this matter could not anger him. For the sake of her daughter, she could only hide her emotions and try her best to make arrangements. That's it, so it's no different to the second master Bai, and he is still caring for him as always.
On this day, after Chen's inventory of all property affairs, he took the property list at home and talked to Mr. Bai about the arrangements for returning to Beijing.
Master Bai said: "A Ning, you have always taken care of these common affairs at home. You can make up your mind about these matters."
Chen shi used to be moved when she heard this, but now she is not so moved, she tentatively said: "Master, this time we return to Beijing, we may not return to Shuzhong, and Master, you are returning to Beijing to report your work this time. The counselor still has to manage. Sister Yu is going to get married next year, so I still counted the property in this family. I thought I could sell it and sell it, so that I could raise a part of the money for you to pay for the master, and secondly, I would like to go to Beijing. Add some extra dowry for Sister Yu.”
Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "The five hundred taels of the dowry in the public are really too little."
Master Bai nodded for a while, and said, "Mrs. is right. It should be arranged like this. If you go, it will be arranged like this.",
Chen shi smiled, but then frowned and sighed, saying: "It's just that the concubine body has been calculated, and the concubine body has sold all the properties in the family, and even the concubine body's dowry industry's prospects this year are fully calculated. , and can only raise 15,000 taels of silver."
"My concubine is thinking, I want to find a good job for you, I'm afraid I have to set aside five thousand to eight thousand taels of silver, and then this year we will go back to the mansion for Chinese New Year, and give the mansion a gift subsidy Filial piety also requires at least 3,000 taels, plus some spare money for us to spend in Beijing in the future, I am afraid there is not much left. This is not counting the expenses for the grandfather's birthday next year."
She said in a worried tone, "Lord, look, how much dowry is this for Sister Yu? I heard that the industry in Beijing is expensive, and the few thousand taels we have left can't buy anything. ."
The second master Bai was stunned for a while. Since he married the Chen family, he never cared about the family's money. Instead, the Bai family in Beijing asked him for money every year, and his wife didn't say anything. Just settle the matter.
How can there be a problem of running out of money now? Or when the family property was sold?
Bai Er's face was a little ugly. He wanted to say why there was only so much money left in the family, but 15,000 taels was a lot. He remembered that the Bai mansion spent only a few thousand taels every year. That's it, and his own annual salary is only a thousand taels.
It's just that he didn't expect them to spend so much, no, it's so much for the White House in Beijing.
He was silent for a while before he said, "What about the money left in the past? Is there nothing else to embezzle?"
Chen shi sighed and shook his head, saying: "I don't know what the lord does, but the industry in Shuzhong is not as valuable as in Beijing, and the annual income of the concubine's dowry industry is probably only seven or eight thousand taels. After deducting the expenses of our house, I will be filial to Beijing every New Year. The gift subsidy from the middle-aged grandfather and the old lady is only a few thousand taels."
"In the past few years, the first was the marriage of Brother Jun in the uncle's house, and the marriage of the sister-in-law. At the request of the old lady, a lot of subsidies went in, and then there was the marriage of Brother Zhang, the dowry and the wedding. It cost almost tens of thousands of taels, and various other things in the house, so there is really no money left in the past. The remaining concubines have all bought these properties for the master, and they are all on this list. "
Chen shi handed over another ledger and said: "Master, this is the profit of my dowry industry over the years, and the expenses of our house and sent to Beijing, it is clearly here, you can take a look, Does the concubine have the slightest bit of falsehood?"
Chen Shi said: "These days, because of the old problem, I have been sick again, and my body is a little uncomfortable, so I asked Doctor Yu to come and look at it and prescribe some medicine for conditioning. Who knew that Doctor Yu happened to have a friend visiting. , I heard that it was a famous doctor in Wangcheng, he heard Doctor Yu tell about the situation of his concubine, so he came to help him, but he didn't want to find out something unexpectedly."
Mr. Chen spoke slowly, warmed up her body, and then gave birth to Jingshu and had a difficult labor. She recounted the incident of Mother Lan's use of oxytocin drugs. These Bai Tongzhi knew it before, but originally it was only the doctor who found out that his wife was like this. The situation can be improved, so Mrs. will mention it to herself again.
Who knew that when I heard the back, the more I heard it, the more wrong it became, and the more ugly my face became.
Chen continued: "Originally, the concubine always thought that after giving birth to Jingshu, she would not be able to conceive again. It was because the dystocia hurt her body at that time, and the concubine's physique was always hot, making it even more difficult to conceive. Doctors who have been there have always said that."
"Who knew that Doctor Yu's friend, Doctor Lin, said that it's not that she couldn't conceive, it was just that her concubine used the oxytocin drug too hard and damaged her foundation. The incense urges the heat, which makes the concubine remain infertile.”
"At that time, the concubine was very strange, and the concubine never liked to use all kinds of spices. How could she say that she has been using warm incense to promote heat? But it turns out that Lan mama accompanies the concubine to the concubine's room to eat every day. Every day, you must bring a warm incense sachet with you. My concubine has already found a lot of warm incense stock from Wen's house."
"Master, Mother Lan was sent by my mother, and it is not easy for my concubine to interrogate directly. Today, my concubine invited Doctor Yu, Doctor Lin, and several other high-ranking doctors from Changzhou City to come with me. They will check the body of the concubine again, and then the master will interrogate the blue mama, so as not to let the master misunderstand that the concubine has wronged her."
Bai Tongzhi can only hear his face sinking. He and Chen's husband and wife have always been in love, but having no children has always been a problem for him. He had to be the eldest son. For this reason, his mother had always been very critical, but the ancestors of the Bai family were strict and not allowed to take concubines. Let it go, my mother has no choice but to do so.
But I never thought that he and Chen's lack of children were not because of Chen's body, but it was man-made!
Bai Tongzhi was furious at first, and wished he could immediately bring up the blue mama to ask a question, but then he thought that the blue mama was sent by his mother. Although this matter must have nothing to do with his mother, but his wife invited so many Wouldn't the city doctor make a case for the incident to make the whole city known?
Whether it is the lax management of the family or the fact that the White House in Beijing sent someone over to poison his wife, it is a bad reputation to spread it out.
