Chapter 18: Opportunities are so easy to seize, even sows can climb big trees
If you are a human being, you will always have a family. w
Outside the study, a few footsteps suddenly sounded, walking over quickly. The noise and dispute in the study had been spread to Bai Di and Bai Yi by the servants. It would not be good if bloodshed happened at home.
When Bai Di and Bai Yi rushed over, they happened to see their eldest brother Bai Sheng holding a flower porcelain and trying to hit the old man on the head. "Brother - what are you doing..." "It's okay if Xiao Ning comes back." The two of them stopped drinking quickly, squeezed past the old man and stepped forward to stop Bai Sheng, and took down the porcelain lamp. Put it away.
At this time, Bai Sheng's daughter-in-law also came over, rolled up her sleeves and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Why are you bullying my husband..." When she saw the exquisite flower porcelain placed on the desk, Mrs. Chen said After understanding, he aggressively went to grab the man with the deer head and rat eyes, "Okay, you stole my uncle's things again and sold them at a low price. Tell me, how much did you lose in gambling this time?"
"You...you...go away."
Bai Sheng pushed Chen's hand away impatiently and turned his face to the side, but he still couldn't help but said a number: "One hundred strings... They must have set up a trap for me, otherwise how could it be possible?" Lose so much.”
"One hundred strings..."
Bai Di was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't help but clenched her fists with her open hands, and then unclenched her fists. She suddenly seemed to be about to explode, but she finally exhaled and said calmly: "Brother...I'll take my share." Please pay a portion of the money, and don’t take any more things from home.”
"I'll also contribute, it's enough after all." Bai Yi, who was indifferent, also spoke at this time, but his words suddenly increased, "Brother, although Xiaoning has a lot of money, it is not easy to come by. , how can you waste it like this? In the past, we didn’t have enough to eat, wore one piece of clothing for a year, and the house leaked and the rain would only catch us. But now you open your eyes and see, the things we eat, wear, and sit on are all from us. My brother is groveling in the palace, kneeling every step of the way. Please, brother, don’t step on Xiao Ning’s knees.”
The indifferent man's eyes were red, but no one expected him to say these words.
Bai Sheng put his hands into his cuffs and hugged his chest, turned to the side, and said unconvinced: "If I can kneel down, I will go too..."
Mrs. Chen quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes to signal him not to talk nonsense.
"Okay... okay... I won't take it anymore. It seems like if I take something, the whole family will break up." Bai Sheng squeezed out of the door with a flick of his long sleeves, and spread his hands to old man Chen. "I can leave now. They are really like iron roosters."
Bai Yi wiped the corners of his eyes, returned to his indifferent temper, and prepared to leave. Old Man Chen nodded at him and said: "As I said, this is how to maintain a family. If you let your elder brother act like this, he will cause trouble for Xiao Ning sooner or later. Bai Yi, you did the right thing, don't feel bad." .”
The old man stood up and patted the honest man on the shoulder, then left with his cane on his back. Bai Di pushed Bai Yi's back, "Let's go, it's better not to let Xiao Ning know about this, otherwise I'm afraid it won't look good on Big Brother's side."
"Yes, I know." Bai Yi suddenly said those words before, but now he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and leave.
Bai Di sighed and went to put the flower porcelain lamp back to its original place. When she turned around, she couldn't help but freeze.
"I heard it all." At the door of the study, the black gold palace robe was quite eye-catching. Bai Ning walked in and just whispered: "Sister... thank you."
A strand of black hair on her forehead was tucked behind her ears. Bai Di was a woman after all, so she was a little embarrassed to be praised in person. She said: "I should do it for this family. Even if the eldest brother may do something wrong, he is a relative after all. It is always not good to see him being forced into debt, and... stealing my brother's things and spreading the word What you lose is also the face of the family and the prestige of your younger brother."
"Ah."
Looking at his sister, although they are not relatives in soul, this body can feel the warmth transmitted by the other party. "Brother's matter... I don't care about it. It's just a little money. If he likes to gamble, I'll give him a gambling house and let him gamble slowly."
After a pause, Bai Ning looked at the other party, "Have you ever considered getting married, sister? You always put it off. I'm afraid it will delay your sister's years, and it will make your brother feel uncomfortable.'
When Bai Di was asked about this, she couldn't help but pick up the feather duster and sweep up the dust on the bookshelf. She said in a very soft voice, "Sister said something bad, don't blame my brother. My brother seems to be prominent now, but if something happens in the future, The ship capsized. Not only did my sister implicate her husband's family, but if she had another child, that would only add to the sorrow. It would be better to maintain the status quo. There are only four of us brothers and sisters. Counting them, there are not many of them. We want to go far away in the future. It’s so relaxing at the end of the world, isn’t it?”
She spoke briskly, but the meaning expressed in it was no longer what the maid who worked as a maid could say. It was obvious that Bai Di's knowledge and knowledge had changed a lot.
Bai Ning smiled. His figure blocked the sunlight coming from outside the house, like a shadow.
"No... Bai Ning promises that that day will never come."
At this time, someone came hurriedly outside the door and said, "Report to the Governor, Your Majesty is here."
........
On the other side, Bai Sheng and his wife were walking back in the garden, whispering.
"Don't ask me to act for you in the future. Don't you see that even two idiots in your family can't stand it. It's really embarrassing and humiliating." Mrs. Chen complained.
Walking on the road, Bai Sheng weighed the money in his hand and said, "If you don't want to act, you won't act. Next time I will ask my brother directly for it."
Mrs. Chen stopped and poked Bai Sheng's forehead with her finger, "You idiot, why not ask your brother to get you an official job? It won't be easy to get money by then?"
"I would like to, but my brother has been out for half a month or a month and has no chance."
"Isn't there a brother of Wei Si in your palace? I heard you said last time that he was doing well, so you might as well go find him."
"...Just him? Isn't it under my brother's control?"
Mrs. Chen stamped her feet angrily and scolded him: "Can you be successful..."
"I know, I know."
Bai Sheng played with the money in his hand and waved his hand impatiently, "I'll send it to him next time."
The two were noisy, and outside the palace door, Zhao Ji, dressed in yellow robe, also walked in.
ps: I was delayed because of something today. Sorry, Monday is quite busy.
