Chapter 218 When the ancestors make offerings
Xu Bai really cares about his reputation.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that even if he cares no matter how much he arrives in the capital, he will not have a good reputation.
Even if he is gentle and approachable, the officials he comes into contact with are all disdainful and contemptuous, and if he is a big difference from his status, he will be even more trembling and frightened in front of him.
He was helpless too!
Even if the servants were in their own home, they were respectful to him, but it was far from saying that they were close. Fortunately, there were Bailiqi and his daughters at home. In the eyes of these two fathers and daughters, it seemed that they would not have changed much. Especially Su Su. If his subordinates saw his appearance in front of Su Su, who would not believe that this was the Lord Xu who usually acted fiercely in front of them.
"When I was not an official in the past, I couldn't see you all day at home. Now I have become an official, but I can't see you all day long. What's the difference between being an official or not?"
A bowl of hot braised pork trotters was placed in front of Xu Bai. Susu couldn't help but say leisurely as he looked at the sweet food.
"I used to be a fool, but now I'm doing a serious business, how can this be the same!" Xu Bai looked at Su Su with a smile while eating. The side dishes on the table were red and green, and the dishes were very well matched, but they were some of the home-cooked dishes from ordinary people. Such meals were far more delicious than delicacies in the mountains and seas.
"Has my dad told you?" Su Su rolled his eyes.
"What did you say, uncle didn't say anything?"
"When are you going to marry me?" Su Su snorted heavily: "Now that I am an official, I have to tell you, what's the matter with such a big family, I live here without a name or a share?"
"Oh!" Xu Bai suddenly realized that Su Su was worried about this. He smiled: "After this time, my uncle and I will discuss and handle our marriage. Since we have to do it, we have to do it in a grand manner, otherwise, we will be wronged!"
"This is almost the same!" Su Su turned angry and happy: "Eat more, look at your appearance, you don't eat anything good outside. You are such an official position, so embarrassing!"
"By the way, Su Su!" Xu Bai suddenly remembered what happened today, and he thought for a while: "That Lin Qi, you have met is the shopkeeper of our business!"
"I know, my father said she was born in a wealthy family and a person from a big business. I said, although you protected her and helped our family do things, don't treat others too badly. She is a girl's family, and she is alone in the capital alone. It's a pity to think about it!"
"Is she pitiful?" Xu Bai smiled and said, "I think, since we will become a relative in two days, you have to take care of all the big and big things in this family? You have to watch more about the business. In a few days, I plan to let her go out to do something. You can discuss with your uncle about the big and big things in the business!"
He thought for a while: "If you feel it's tedious and hard, just hire a few more people!"
"I'm afraid my father and I can't do this!" Su Su shook her head: "Those shops alone cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Not to mention the business in this shop, the customer merchants, Xu Bai, I'm not a stingy person. I know you have no other thoughts about her. Don't drive them away just to be unhappy. As long as they have the ability and can make money for our family, can't I tolerate her?"
"Then let's talk about this matter back!" Xu Bai smiled: "However, you have to look at the monthly accounts. You have to hire an account at home. You don't have to count on the money transactions in the future. If you buy some land outside the city, it will be considered as money making money!"
"Of course, this is our family's possession, and my father doesn't count!" Su Su said proudly: "Don't worry, this matter will not hurt me!"
"Well, if I'm not at home and you're so bored at home, just go out for a walk and bring a few more people around you. The capital is so big, and there are many fun places!"
The two of them talked intimately, feeling a little divorced and newlywed. At this time, it was probably the time when Xu Bai felt the most comfortable, just like when they were in Nanjing, carrying Bailiqi on their backs and secretly together.
However, there are always people who are happy and others who are worried.
It was as if I had been paying attention to Chen Taizhong from afar and had been seeing Chen Taizhong walking out of the big mansion in the distance safely, just like the shopkeeper Lin and others who bowed to each other.
As soon as he left the woman's sight, Li Feng and others couldn't wait to catch up with Chen Taizhong from behind.
"Thousands of households, have people seen it?"
"Oh!" Chen Taizhong looked at the other person, feeling sad from his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? Don't the other party buy the face of you as the commander?" Li Feng was impatient.
"Oh!" Chen Taizhong sighed again, but he still didn't say anything and walked towards the front.
"We won't do this business with the Jinyiwei anymore. I don't believe that they can still show off their power to us on the sea!" Li Feng saw Chen Taizhong's appearance, and probably did not go well, so he comforted Chen Taizhong: "As long as we don't take the initiative to tease them, they can't do anything to us!"
"I promised to do this business!" Chen Taizhong shook his head: "Li Feng, let me ask again, you have thought about it before answering. In the past few years, have you really not attacked the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships in this business?"
"Thousand Houses!" Li Feng was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Are you confused? What other merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty can run on the sea? Now it is either an official ship or a black or white like us. If we touch them, we have to consider whether we can go back to the Ming Dynasty or not!"
Chen Taizhong looked back at the old brothers behind him, and these old brothers nodded in unison, proving that Li Feng was right.
"It's better not to have it in the future. Forget it, there's no future!" Chen Taizhong said with some depression: "I've seen the other party's people, and we can't afford to offend. However, I thought, if this business is really done well, you might have a serious way out in the future, so let's do it like this!"
"Qianhu said it was no problem, so of course it was no problem!"
"There is one problem..." Chen Taizhong looked at the other party's smiling face and spoke helplessly, "The other party is afraid that he will send someone to watch this business. I will agree first. No matter who the other party sends, you should offer him as an ancestor. Don't make up a reason for me if you have a few mistakes. This set of things doesn't work in front of the Jinyiwei, they are the ancestors who play this!"
"Is this an old man for our brothers?" Li Feng was stunned, "What should I do in the future?"
"I don't care about this, that's your business and your brothers!" Chen Taizhong said angrily: "You go back to my place to rest first, I'll do something first, let's discuss it carefully when you look back!"
