The sun and the moon shuttle, ten years have passed, and Bai Jingqi has become a forty-one-year-old middle-aged man unknowingly. The seventh young master has become the seventh master. This year was 1921 in the Western calendar, the tenth year of the Republic of China, and Bai Wenshi happened to be a sixty-six-year-old lady from Liuliu Dashun. People called her the second old lady. The biggest change in the Bai family is that Bai Jingqi has a successful career and bought a more elegant new house. Then there was the eunuch Wang Xiguang who had served the Empress Dowager in the palace back then. After leaving the palace, he was taken in by the Bai Wen family and became the chief manager of the new house of the Bai family.

In the capital city, this has become a news that is not big or small. People think that the old name of Baicao Hall Baijia is magnificent, and it can let the master who served Lafayette to work in Baijia. If you know the basics, then He thinks it is the second grandmother Bai Wen's benevolence and righteousness, who treats those who are kind to the Bai family generously. Bai's new house. Bai Wenshi and Bai Jingqi's wife walked into the gate of the new house accompanied by Wang Xiguang, the head manager of the new house, and Huo Xiang, a thirteen-year-old girl with a dog in her arms.

Bingkuan has also entered the age of sixty, a full sixty years old, with a braid behind his head, standing at the door. Bingkuan: The second old lady is auspicious!Good luck to the seventh master!Good luck, Mr. Wang! Bai Wenshi asked as he walked: Bingkuan, did you come here with Lao Qi? Bingkuan: Seventh Master must have an old man watching over his new house, so he brought me here. Bai Jingqi: It’s not okay for you to be the gatekeeper here with braids. It’s been ten years since the Republic of China, and you still don’t braid? Several people spoke out the way as they walked, and entered the courtyard of the first hall.

Wang Xiguang: I've told him several times, but he just won't tell! Bingkuan: I don't care!In today's world, I don't like it, it's better when Lafayette and the emperor. Bai Wenshi: This manager Wang has served Lafayette in the palace for half his life, and he is dead. Do you still keep it? Bing Kuan taunted: Eunuchs have no conscience! Wang Xiguang stepped forward and grabbed Bingkuan's sleeve: I will smack you! Everyone laughed. Bai Jingqi: He has a conscience, and asked Emperor Xuantong to be kicked out of the palace!He is now the manager of my new house, if he tells you to fuck, you have to fuck!

Bingkuan: I don't care!I wear braids, what's bothering him? Several people walked towards the second hall courtyard, where workers were planting trees. Bai Wenshi laughed: Don't bother with him!If he doesn't like to hinge, let him keep it. Bai Jingqi joked: Be careful!The Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered the city again and treated you as a big girl, just like the old three old men back then, and stripped your pants! Everyone laughed again. Bingkuan: Is there a big girl who looks like me? Several people came to the second hall. Bai Jingqi: This is the second hall. Going forward is the third hall and the fourth hall. To the west is the upper courtyard.

Bai Wenshi: Who lives in the third hall? Bai Jingqi: The boss is dedicated! Bai Wenshi: Look at him.Turning to Wang Xiguang: Wang Xiguang, tell me one more paragraph!I just love hearing about things in your palace! Wang Xiguang: Yes!Once, the troupe of the Shengping Administration in the palace sang "An Tianhui". The eunuch who played the little monkey was just thirteen years old. Land, guess what?Pants fell!Nothing inside, just a bare ass Everyone walked into the three halls with a smile. Bai Jingqi's eldest son, Bai Jingye, has grown into a vigorous young man of twenty years old.

At this time, Bai Jingye was instructing his servants to move things into the house. When he saw grandma coming, he rushed to meet her. Bai Jingye: Grandma!dad! Bai Wenshi: Are you moving here today? Bai Jingye: Yes! Bai Wenshi: So anxious?The newly built house is trendy inside! Bai Jingye: They are all baked. Bai Wenshi: Have you finished college yet? Bai Jingye: Another year and a half. Bai Wenshi: Why don't you see your daughter-in-law and son? Bai Jingye: Zhan Yuan suffered from vomiting and diarrhea yesterday, his mother took him to a French hospital for treatment. Bai Wenshi turned around and walked back very unhappy, saying to himself: I really don't know why!My own child fell ill and went to a foreigner's hospital!

Bai Jingqi gave Bai Jingye a hard look, and Bai Jingye quickly lowered his head. Several people went to see the upper courtyard of the new house. Bai Wenshi: Wang Xiguang, you haven't finished your joke just now! Wang Xiguang: Once he dropped his pants, it doesn't matter. The hostesses, maids, and maids all covered their faces and ran back in fright. The little eunuch ran backstage and trembled all over in fright, thinking that he was going to die. ! Bai Wenshi: Can the Empress Dowager spare him? Wang Xiguang: Look!Not only was the Empress Dowager not angry, but she shook her body and slapped her hands happily, and even asked someone to reward the little eunuch with two pieces of mung bean cake.

Bai Jingqi's daughter, 15-year-old Bai Jiali, and his second son, 13-year-old Bai Jinggong, threw roasted sweet potatoes in front of them to tease the big wolf dog. Bai Jingqi: Congratulations!Belle!Grandma is here! Bai Jiali and Bai Jinggong hurriedly stood up and greeted grandma. The big wolf dog barked twice suddenly, and the little bull dog Huoxiang was holding jumped to the ground and barked fiercely at the big wolf dog. Huoxiang hurriedly picked up the little bulldog, but unexpectedly was bitten by the little bulldog, she was so frightened that she hurriedly let go, crying by herself.

Bai Wenshi: Since Peilan left, no one dared to hug this dog, and it always bit people.As he said that, he entered the Shangfangyuan: Lao Qi, quickly find me a girl who hugs the dog! Wang Xiguang: Leave this to me! When Bai Wenshi walked to the door of the North House, Huang Chun hurriedly greeted him: Mom, I'm tidying up the west room, and I'm preparing for you to come and live here. Bai Jingqi: I live in the east room, anyway, the west room is always reserved for you, please come and listen to the government behind the curtain! Well, when I am happy, come and stay for a few days.After Bai Wenshi finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Jingqi and asked tentatively, "Where's your aunt?"Don't pick it up?

Bai Jingqi panicked: I sent someone to Jinan to pick him up, it should be here in two days. Bai Wenshi said insincerely: OK!You become a family, start a business, build a new house, and I don't care who picks up whoever you like. Bai Wenshi walked forward again, and everyone hurriedly followed. Bai Jingqi was confused: "Where is it?"The old lady can manage whatever she wants!Listen to shit. Bai Wenshi suddenly stopped and straightened his face, staring at Bai Jingqi: Listen to me? Bai Jingqi hurriedly avoided her gaze in bewilderment. Back then, if you listened to me and kept Yang Jiuhong, the child would not have a miscarriage on the train!The more Bai Wenshi talked, the more angry he became. Bai Jingqi hurriedly lowered her head in fright, everyone suddenly felt tense, and Huang Chun didn't know what to do with Huang Chun at the side. Seeing this, Wang Xiguang hurried forward to intervene: "Second old lady, you can go to the back and see, there is a small garden, Buddhist hall, and ancestral hall behind!" Wang Xiguang led Bai Wenshi forward. Zhao Wuye, Zhao Xianting, who was already sixty-two years old, rushed over and called Bai Jingqi to stop. Zhao Xianting: Master Seven, please go to the fine material storehouse! The property of the Bai family has been jointly managed by the three brothers of the Bai family, Bai Jingyi, Bai Jingshuang, and Bai Jingqi, and they have become the three heads of the Baicao Hall. The leader is naturally Bai Jingqi. According to the old rules handed down for many years, every spring Jingtian'er, it is necessary to take stock of the treasures of medicinal materials in the fine material storehouse (the same is true for extracting medicines at ordinary times). The scene is very solemn, no less than worshiping ancestors in the ancestral hall. Baicao hall fine material warehouse.

Zhao Xianting announced: The three heads of the house are all here, please open the lock first! Datouer stepped forward, opened the first lock and exited, Bai Jingyi stepped forward to open the second lock, Bai Jingshuang opened the third lock, and finally Bai Jingqi opened the fourth lock. Four locks go, five people enter, they entered the fine material warehouse. In the fine material warehouse.

After Bai Jingqi locked the last lock and retreated, five people stood in front of the door. At this time, Bai Jingyi never forgot a sentence: Mr. Zhao Wu, how many details have been proposed today, must be completed within three months. Make it up! Fan Kee Tea House. On the street outside the teahouse, many flatbed carts selling vegetables were parked by the roadside. The lobby of the teahouse is filled with all kinds of coolies who sell vegetables and pull rickshaws. Most of these people eat and drink shirtless; along the wall, most of them sit on benches and sleep against the wall. Wang Xiguang walked slowly towards the teahouse, and the waiter shouted at the door: Manager Wang, please come inside! When Wang Xiguang walked in, some respectable tea drinkers greeted him, but Wang Xiguang ignored the answer, just nodded, and walked to the door of the private room. Guiwu had already been waiting at the door of the private room, and the two entered the private room with a greeting. A strong man was sitting leaning against a single partition, with his head resting on the partition, as if he was sleeping. A big straw hat covered most of his face, so he couldn't see who it was. In a single room. Wang Xiguang and Guiwu sat opposite each other, with food and wine on the table, neither of them moved their chopsticks. Wang Xiguang didn't intend to eat, and said coldly: Lord Belle, what's the matter with you?Say it quickly, I don't have time! Guiwu laughed along with him: Eating and chatting! Wang Xiguang: No, I have to go now. Master Qi asked me to accompany him to Haidian! Guiwu: That's what I'm doing. Isn't Jing Qi going to build a garden in Haidian? Wang Xiguang: The land is all looking good. Guiwu: You leave this project to me! Wang Xiguang: What's the matter?You are the father-in-law of the seventh master, you can just say it yourself, how can you beg me? Guiwu: Brother!You still don't know Jing Qi's temper?He is about to become my old man! Wang Xiguang: Oh!It's hard to say, everyone knows this is a fat job!How many people are stealing here! Guiwu hurriedly took out a bank note and handed it to Wang Xiguang: "You are so kind in front of Jing Qi, it's a small thing!" At this time, the strong man who was sleeping on the partition outside the door moved a little, pulled down his straw hat again, and listened to the conversation in the room. Wang Xiguang: Lord Baylor, you are too polite! Guiwu: Who of us is following whom!After the matter is completed, this little money is only a small change! Wang Xiguang: I can only say give it a try, don't blame me if it doesn't work! Strong man with straw hat sitting motionless The front street of Bai's old house. On the street, there is a big blue cloth shed, which says the Bai family's old porridge market, and the Bai family's servants are serving porridge. The streets were full of country people fleeing famine to Beijing. Bai Jingqi and sixty-five-year-old Hu Jiali came, walking among the poor begging for porridge. Bai Jingqi: So many people fled this year? Hu Jiali: There was a severe drought throughout Hebei, and countless people died of starvation! Bai Jingqi walked and watched sympathetically: tell them to cook more porridge, as long as they come to our door, they are not allowed to tell them to go home with empty bowls! Rows of country folks squatting, sitting, and standing along the wall drinking porridge. In front of the screen wall opposite the old house, at the bottom of the wall, sat 35-year-old Ma Liqiu, holding his 12-year-old semi-conscious daughter Li Xiangxiu. Ma Liqiu: Xiangxiu!Xiangxiu!What's the matter?Take a sip! Country people around: I can't even open my mouth! , I'm afraid it won't work, right? Bai Jingqi found Li Xiangxiu, hurried over, and the people who were watching hurriedly stepped aside. Bai Jingqi knelt down and touched Li Xiangxiu's forehead. The disheveled Li Xiangxiu closed her eyes and remained motionless. Ma Liqiu looked worriedly. Bai Jingqi: Fever!Pulled Li Xiangxiu's pulse again: No serious illness!Mr. Hu, go get ten pills of silver solution, pick some fresh ageratum leaves, and ask her to make a soup to deliver the medicine. Hu Jiali greeted Ma Liqiu: Sister-in-law, this is the seventh master of our white house!busy away. Ma Liqiu hurriedly said: Master Seven, thank you very much, thank you very much! Bai Jingqi: The girl is fine, take the medicine and go back to sweat! At this time, Li Manfu, who was making porridge in the porridge shed, quarreled with the guy who sold the porridge. Dude: You have called twice, can others still eat? Li Manfu: My daughter is dying, you see Li Xiangxiu said with difficulty: Dad!Don't ask them! Bai Jingqi hurriedly stood up and walked to the porridge shed: Here it is!Isn't it just a bowl of porridge? Buddy: Master Seven, it’s not enough, let’s all drink together! Bai Jingqi became angry: What is it!Go boil again!Porridge still not full? The buddy is in a hurry: Lord Seven!Can't make it through!Thousands of people have entered the capital! Bai Jingqi sighed: What happened this year? Li Manfu: Granules are not accepted!The bark and leaves are all eaten! Bai Jingqi asked: Where is my hometown? Li Manfu: Ren Qiu, there are too many dead bodies along the road! Bai Jingqi: Just begging for food is not an option, is it? Li Manfu: Master, I can work!I'm a carpenter, but I'm not familiar with the capital Hu Jiali took the medicine and walked out of the old house. Bai Jingqi: Manager Hu!He is a carpenter, I saw a lot of broken tables and chairs piled up in the warehouse, I asked him to fix it! Li Manfu happily: OK!Then I'll go back and get my homework. Hu Jiali handed the medicine to Li Manfu: This is your daughter's medicine, take two pills at a time, and use this to make soup for delivery! Bai Jingqi strode towards the door of the old house, and Li Xiangxiu watched gratefully. Ma Liqiu: Thank you Seventh Master! Bai Jingqi entered the gate without looking back. Li Manfu's house. The most dilapidated slum residential area near Beijing's Jinyu Pond is crowded and dirty. Here, dirt houses are considered the best housing. Li Manfu lives in a broken shed. Ma Liqiu served a bowl of hot porridge in front of the stove, walked up to Li Xiangxiu who was lying on the broken quilt on the bottom of the straw mat, and touched Li Xiangxiu's forehead. Ma Liqiu: Alright, let’s retire!But I met a good family! Li Manfu leaned in from the door: I'm going to work at Bai's house! Ma Liqiu: Later, I will also go to my sister's house to see if we have found a job for us. Li Manfu: Let's go or not!Your sister is a nice person, but her son, I don’t think she’s so honest, thinks we’re poor relatives! Ma Liqiu: Is there any way?Isn't there no other way?Pass the porridge to Li Xiangxiu: Xiangxiu, lie down well, mom will be back later. Zhu Ma's family. After leaving home, Ma Liqiu came to the home of his sister Zhu Mashi. Zhu's family lived in a large courtyard, one bright, two dark, and three earth-shattered houses crowded in the corner of the courtyard gatehouse. They were short and old, and the foundation of the house was more than a foot lower than the ground. Zhu Mashi sat cross-legged on the kang, looked out for a while, then turned around and whispered to Ma Liqiu who was sitting on the edge of the kang. Zhu Mashi: Sister, it's not that my sister can't tolerate you, I can't be the master of this family. Ma Liqiu: Sister, where did you say you went?I just begged Zhu Fu to find me something to do. Zhu Mashi: It's no use begging him!I have never done anything wicked in my life, how did I raise such a son?Do you know what he does all day?He looked out again, leaned forward and lowered his voice: When the contractor was a cover, he smoked heavily and sold that yellow girl to a brothel!My heart is darkened! Ma Liqiu: You don't care? Zhu Mashi: Can I handle it?I'm here to eat and wait to die! The sound of Zhu Ma's daughter-in-law Duan Dalan pouring water into the vat came from the outer room, and the two stopped talking. Zhu Mashi: Da Laner!More and some stick noodles, your aunt is eating here! Ma Liqiu: No!I will not eat!When Zhu Fu comes back, I will ask something and leave. Duan Dalan shouted dissatisfiedly in the outer room: How about some stick noodles?It seems that the stick noodles are not bought with money!He lifted the water bowl and went out the door. Zhu Mashi: Listen, have you ever talked to your mother-in-law like that? Zhu Fu walked in. He was about 1.5 meters tall, with a bald head, a round head, and narrow eyes. Zhu Fu: Who is coming? Zhu Mashi: Your second aunt is here. Ma Liqiu: Zhu Fu!Do you trust me to find something for you? Zhu Fu lifted the curtain and leaned in half of his body: All the fellows in the street are fleeing, so it's so easy to find a job?People are cheaper than eggplants, just wait! Ma Liqiu: A family of three has to eat! Zhu Fu: If you have nothing to eat, you come to me. Why don’t you think of me when you have money?Put the curtain down and back out. Ma Liqiu: We country people, when did we ever have money?If you can find something, you can find it. If you can't find it, you don't need so much nonsense!Standing up, very unhappy: Sister, I'm leaving. Zhu Fu suddenly lifted the curtain and leaned in: Second Aunt, do you have a girl in her teens? Ma Liqiu: Twelve! Zhu Fu hurriedly walked in: Hi!Let me find a home for your daughter!I won't have to follow you without eating or drinking! Ma Liqiu: The child is still young! Zhu Fu: Is twelve still young?It's easier than finding excuses! Zhu Mashi: Girl!Don't listen to him!What kind of family do you look for at the age of twelve! Zhu Fu: Mom, what are you messing with!Don't worry, second aunt, I will find a good family for you! Zhu Mashi was furious: Zhu Fu, I don't care about other people's affairs, so don't think about my sister!I don't know about your fancy intestines? Duan Dalan rushed into the room angrily: You are an old man!Is the stick noodle holding up?You can take care of your own business! Zhu Mashi: Your mother is a stinky X!Talk to me like that?Get out! Duan Dalan: Are you scolding my mother?My mother is you! Zhu Fu pushed Duan Dalan out: Go!Let's cook!Turning around again: Second Aunt!I do it for your own good! Ma Liqiu: I have to discuss with Man Fu!I am leaving!go outside. Zhu Fu: Don't go!Eat and go! Duan Dalan yelled outside: I didn't cook her meal! Ma Liqiu walked to the door of the main room and hurried out. Zhu Fu shouted behind Ma Liqiu: That's it!Call me back quickly! The new residence hall. Bai Jingqi and Manager Wang turned out from the corridor, and a gardener in the yard was pruning a Erdu plum tree. Wang Xiguang said: "Let's entrust Wu Beile with the garden in Haidian, otherwise he will be too idle!" Bai Jingqi: Just leave it at that, tell him to keep an eye on it, don't be lazy! Wang Xiguang was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly replied: Yes!I told him. The two passed by the concierge while they were talking, and Bai Jingqi looked in. Bingkuan was sitting on the concierge's chair with his head tilted and fell asleep, snoring intermittently. Bai Jingqi turned around and called the gardener softly: Hey!Give me the scissors. Gardener: Come on!I thought Bai Jingqi wanted to cut flowers. Bai Jingqi: Bring it!bring it! The gardener hurried over and handed the scissors to Bai Jingqi. what are you doingWang Xiguang asked. Bai Jingqi hurriedly waved his hands to signal the two of them to be silent, took the gardener's scissors, quietly walked into the porter's room, crept around behind Bingkuan, gently opened the scissors, clamped Bingkuan's braid, and gave a hard twist Bingkuan woke up suddenly, looked back at Bai Jingqi, and smiled embarrassedly: Master Qi, I took a nap! Wang Xiguang and the gardener outside the window opened their mouths wide open, while Bingkuan in the room got up and turned his face, feeling that something was wrong, he quickly reached out to touch the back of his head, and found that the braid was gone, he was shocked: Huh?my braid? for you!Bai Jingqi threw the braids on the table, turned around and ran out the door. Bingkuan yelled: My braid, my braid! Bai Jingqi and Wang Xiguang withdrew their legs and ran out of the gate. Bingkuan chased them out holding up their braids, crying loudly: My braids, my braids, I'm not alive anymore! Street in front of the old house. Bai Jingqi and Wang Xiguang walked over with triumphant smiles. Wang Xiguang: Now let him get rid of the roots, Lord Seven, that is you! Bai Jingqi smirked: This is enough for him to cry for days! The gate of the old house. Hu Jiali walked out with Li Manfu carrying a toolbox. There were two carriages parked at the door, and the drivers Niu Huang and Gou Bao stood beside the carriages. Bai Jingqi and Wang Xiguang walked up the steps, and Hu Jiali hurriedly greeted them: "Master Seven, all the work is done, this boss Li is doing a good job." Bai Jingqi: Don't lose him, give me a few more dollars! Li Manfu hurriedly said in fear: Yes, yes! Hu Jiali: There is a shortage of carpenters in Haidian Garden Repair, let him go! Bai Jingqi: Go and tell Lord Belle that this matter is in his charge, so just say that I called him. Li Manfu: Thank you, master, you saved our family. Li Manfu left with gratitude. Bai Wenshi, 29-year-old Bai Yuting and Bai Jiali walked out from the gate, and the girl Huaihua supported Bai Wenshi. Bai Jingqi rushed to greet her: Mom! Bai Wenshi: Let's go to the theater, will you go? Bai Jingqi: Not today, I have to go to Haidian. Bai Wenshi pulled Sophora japonica: I have seen Mr. Seven, this is my new girl Sophora japonica. Sophora japonica shyly: Master Seven! Before the words were finished, Bingkuan's shout suddenly came: "Second old lady!"Second old lady! Everyone hurriedly looked back, only to see Bingkuan running towards him with his braids in his hands and a mournful face: Look!Look! Bai Wenshi was surprised: What's the matter? Bai Jingqi smirked. Bingkuan: Seventh Master broke my braid! Bai Jingqi still smirked: Oh, you still came here to complain! You too, Lao Qi, what are you doing braiding his hair so nicely?If he likes to stay, let him stay!Bai Wenshi also laughed when he finished speaking. Bai Jingqi: Alright!okay!Is it okay to reward you with a few dollars? Bingkuan angrily: I don't want it!I want braids! Bai Jingqi: It's all broken down, and it won't grow any longer! Bing Kuan suddenly squatted on the ground and cried: I am not alive Bai Wenshi shouted: Nonsense!Look at so many people, who still has braids?Are you not alive? Bingkuan refused to accept: This is left by the ancestors! Bai Wenshi: Tell you, your ancestors didn't have braids! Bai Jingqi: Mom!Ignore him, go to the show! Bai Yuting: Brother, I count you bad! Bingkuan, when I come back from watching the play, I'll give you a hard beat to vent my anger on Lao Qi; Yuting, let's go!After Bai Wenshi finished speaking, he and Bai Yuting walked down the steps, got into the car and left. Bingkuan reluctantly walked back with his braids in his hands, crying miserably: My braids!my braid Li Manfu's house. In the yard, Li Xiangxiu was on tiptoe collecting a large row of sheets hanging on the rope. Ma Liqiu is washing a large basin of clothes: Are you sure? Li Manfu was riding on a stool to sharpen the plane blade: It's settled!I will go there as soon as work starts, and I will take care of food and housing! Ma Liqiu: God has opened his eyes!The Bai family is a rich man! Li Xiangxiu jumped up and pulled down a quilt, but failed to catch it and fell to the ground. Ma Liqiu: How stupid!It costs money to do some work! Li Xiangxiu hurriedly picked up the quilt and wiped the dirt on it. Li Manfu: Can she reach such a high rope? Ma Liqiu: Don't rubbish!It gets dirtier the more it is wiped, and it has to be washed again. What kind of work do I have to do today! Zhu Fu walked over with a smile: Second aunt scolded the child again!Hold Li Xiangxiu's hand: Xiangxiu come here, tell me to have a look! Li Xiangxiu pulled out her hand and entered the room with the blanket in her arms. Zhu Fu smirked: Little temper! Li Manfu took a small bench: Zhu Fu!you sit! Zhu Fu sat on the bench: Second Aunt, I have found a good home for Xiangxiu!The man said, let's set the money for the 50 hanging money first, so don't worry about it now! Ma Liqiu was doing the laundry with a sullen face: We made up our minds, the child is too young, so we are not in a hurry to find someone! Zhu Fu stared: What kind of talk is this!Did you stop talking yesterday?I have spent a lot of money on this matter, you want to cheat me? Ma Liqiu: How much did you spend? Zhu Fu: Five hangs! Ma Liqiu: Give it back! Zhu Fu: Bring it! Ma Liqiu: Full of blessings!Return him! Li Manfu: Let's hang five Ma Liqiu: Return him! Li Manfu hurried into the house. Zhu Fu: Cry poor with me!Where did the five hanging coins come from? Ma Liqiu: I earned a lot of money!Found a reason! Zhu Fu: Ah!Why don't you be so rude to me! Li Manfu went out and handed over the money to Zhu Fu. Zhu Fu: OK!Your backs are stiff, so don't come to me if you have anything to do in the future!Hey, I said second uncle, where did you find the reason? Li Manfu: Build a garden for the Bai family. Zhu Fu: Which Bai family? Li Manfu: The owner of the old Bai family pharmacy! Zhu Fu was startled: Baicao Hall?OK!You are climbing high branches! Haidian Garden. A large piece of wasteland, overgrown with weeds and uneven. Bai Jingqi, Guiwu, Wang Xiguang, and the contractor were standing on a small slope looking at the blueprints and the wasteland. Bai Jingqi pointed and ordered: Bring me the water from the West River, pass here, turn a corner, and install gates at both ends! The contractor nodded: Got it, got it! Bai Jingqi: Do the work for me, don't save me money!If it's different from the one in my picture, I'll ask you to remove the heavy cover, and I won't give you a big one! Guiwu: Did you hear that?There's no need to save money for Master Qi, Master Qi has plenty of money! Wang Xiguang: Done the job well, don't smear me! Contractor: How many heads do I have?Seventh master builds a garden, how dare I play tricks?I'll type up the total first, so you can look it over first.

The lobby is still full of coolies, and the waiters are shouting; vegetable sellers, cart pullers, eaters, and drinkers are in a mess. Leaning against the partition door of the single room was still the strong man wearing the straw hat, the straw hat was pressed down so low that his face could not be seen. In the single room on the side of the partition, Guiwu and the contractor were studying the budget list on the table. Guiwu: Do you understand?You don't have to save him money! Contractor: I understand, why don’t I understand!I will pay at least 20% more for this! Guiwu: Hey, you are so hard-nosed!You have to at least double the total! The contractor was taken aback: Lord Belle, this is so evil! Guiwu: Hi!How do you know our grandpa, how much money does he have in his family?how much babyHow much income?he doesn't know anything The strong man leaned against the partition and remained motionless, as if he had fallen asleep, but he could not hear a single word of the conversation inside. Guiwu: He never counts his money!After this garden is built, we will have all the food and drink for the rest of our lives! Contractor: But in case Guiwu: Nothing in case!listen to me! Foreman: I listen to you, but what's the matter, you have to take care of it! Guiwu: Don't worry!Director Wang has to take care of it, and he doesn't want the child to be caught by the wolf. The strong man stood up suddenly and walked out the door, the straw hat still covering most of his face. The west wing of the upper courtyard of the new house. Yang Jiuhong's older brother Yang Yizeng, his sister-in-law Chen Yuzhi, the girl Honghua and the servant Xiaofuzi are carrying luggage and packing things into the house. Bai Jingqi and Yang Jiuhong stood at the door of the inner room and watched. Thirty-five-year-old Yang Jiuhong still looks more plump and charming, holding a Persian cat in her hand. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law busy, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law!"There is no need for you here, you live in the second hall and the north room, go! Bai Jingqi: Little Fuzi, go and help clean up. Xiao Fuzi: This is great. My aunt and grandma will feel at ease when they move in together. Xiaofuzi, Yang Yizeng, and Chen Yuzhi went out, while Honghua was busy untying the rope on the box. Bai Jingqi: Why did you bring your brother and sister-in-law? Yang Jiuhong: No? Bai Jingqi: No no!Didn't you say that you taught them to sell you since childhood? Yang Jiuhong: It has been twenty years, and Chen Guzi is rotten! Bai Jingqi: That's weird, don't you really hate them? Yang Jiuhong: It's my natal family who hate it or not! Bai Jingqi: I despise this kind of person from the bottom of my heart, what happened to my mother's family? Yang Jiuhong: I was bullied if I didn't have a mother's family, I could see it! Bai Jingqi: Who bullied you?Who bullied you? Yang Jiuhong smiled, turned to Honghua and said: Honghua!Go and see your sisters, I have something to say with Master Qi, don't come if I don't tell you! yes!Honghua hurried out of the house and closed the door. Yang Jiuhong turned around and threw the cat to the ground, and pushed Bai Jingqi hard with both hands, and Bai Jingqi suddenly lost her balance and retreated to the back room. Yang Jiuhong followed into the back room: Who do you think bullied me?Then he took another step forward and pushed Bai Jingqi: Who do you think bullied me?Bai Jingqi smiled and stepped back. You bullied me!Yang Jiuhong walked forward with a smile, eyes full of provocative lust, and then pushed again: You are the one who bullied me! Bai Jingqi had retreated to the edge of the bed, Yang Jiuhong looked at Bai Jingqi affectionately, his eyes radiated fiery light Bai Jingqi also looked at Yang Jiuhong impulsively. Yang Jiuhong pushed Bai Jingqi down on the bed, and Bai Jingqi lay down on his back. Yang Jiuhong lay on his body, almost touching his face: Tell me, are you bullying me? Bai Jingqi smiled: Why did you bully you? The Persian cat jumped onto the bed and meowed. Yang Jiuhong: You have only been to Jinan twice in the past ten years. Do you have other women? Bai Jingqi: The Conscience of Heaven and Earth!Feel free to inquire and ask! Yang Jiuhong: No!I will ask you! Bai Jingqi: I'm so busy that I don't even care about women. Yang Jiuhong: Don't you want to? Bai Jingqi: Why don't you want to?Thinking about it made me hungry and emaciated, burning like fire! Yang Jiuhong changed her voice: Grandpa, I really miss you!Three years and one month! Bai Jingqi suddenly turned over and pressed Yang Jiuhong under him, and the two unbuttoned each other's clothes. Yang Jiuhong gasped for breath, and untied Bai Jingqi's clothes in a panic: Oh, hurry up!grandpa i can't take it Suddenly, Yang Yizeng's voice came from outside the door: Master Qi, I have a letter from you! The two were startled, and quickly stopped their movements, motionless. Lord Seven!Yang Yizeng was still shouting outside. Yang Jiuhong hurriedly waved her hands to signal Bai Jingqi not to speak. Bai Jingqi remained motionless helplessly, hoping that Yang Yizeng would think no one was leaving, but unexpectedly he shouted louder: Master Qi, your letter!Ignorantly began to knock on the window. Bai Jingqi was extremely disappointed: Ah!coming! Yang Jiuhong whispered: I really know how to pick the time! I'll tease you again tonight!Bai Jingqi whispered into Yang Jiuhong's ear, got out of bed and busily arranged her clothes. Yang Jiuhong turned over and lay on the bed giggling Bai Jingqi walked out the door, took the letter from Yang Yizeng and asked: Who sent it? Yang Yizeng: I don't know, Bingkuan said he threw it in the doorway. Bai Jingqi opened the letter to read. Yang Jiuhong still couldn't help laughing and walked out: Brother, if you have a letter in the future, just ask the maids to deliver it, don't run away by yourself. Yang Yizeng: OK! Bai Jingqi frowned while reading the letter, and cursed: What is it! Yang Jiuhong hurriedly stepped forward: What's the matter?Who is here? Bai Jingqi didn't pay any attention, and strode towards the upper room of the north room, shouting, "Come here!"Call me Wang Xiguang! The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan. Bai Jingqi returned to the upper courtyard and entered the north room. Huang Chun walked out from Donglijian, handed the cigarette pouch to Bai Jingqi, and then lit the cigarette for him. Wang Xiguang hurried into the room and stood in front of Bai Jingqi: Master Seven, are you looking for me? Bai Jingqi pointed to the letter on the table: "Look for yourself!" Wang Xiguang picked up the letter and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly took a peek at Bai Jingqi. Bai Jingqi lowered his head and smoked, expressionless. Wang Xiguang looked at Bai Jingqi carefully: Is this true or not?I don't know a thing! Bai Jingqi: Don't know?You are still written on the letter! Wang Xiguang: Yes, yes!But Lord Belle wouldn't be like this, could he? Bai Jingqi: He can't change his faults, he wants to blackmail my money before he starts work! Wang Xiguang: No way?Could the person who wrote this letter be Bai Jingqi: The time and place where the letter was written are all there, so it can be fake! Wang Xiguang: Yes, yes!No wonder he knew so well!Who is this? Bai Jingqi: Whoever it is!I doubled the project funds in a daze!It's not so black if you want to be black! Wang Xiguang seemed extremely obedient: yes, yes!It's outrageous! Bai Jingqi: I don't count the money, but I can't throw it into the water! Wang Xiguang: Yes, yes!I have to talk to him! Bai Jingqi sternly said: It's written in the letter!Did you take the money? Wang Xiguang acted accordingly: I got it!I took one hundred taels!Master Seven, I don’t need to hide it from you. This one hundred taels is what I owed for making clothes for the girls last year. Can I do that black-hearted thing? Bai Jingqi slammed the cigarette pouch on the copper spittoon and threw it on the table after a loud sound: Forget it, forget it!Find someone else for the Huayuanzi project!Tell Lord Belle to rest! Wang Xiguang: Yes, yes!I'll do it now! Single room in Fanji Teahouse. Wang Xiguang and Guiwu looked at each other frustrated and confused. Wang Xiguang: Who did you tell about this? Guiwu: Who am I going to tell? Wang Xiguang: I don't even believe you when you say that Da Tian is coming!You kid must be burning buns!If you want to get rich, go around the world! Guiwu: You underestimate me too much. When I played tricks, you were still doing somersaults in the palace!What am I doing that has no ass? Wang Xiguang: Then how did this news leak out? Guiwu: It's out of the way, let alone the head contractor!Did I say it's over? Wang Xiguang: Don't even think about this job!Seventh master's temper almost dragged me in, what's the matter? Guiwu: That one hundred taels of silver Wang Xiguang: Do you still want the one hundred taels of silver back?I ran back and forth for you, so I shouldn't have spent some money on you! Guiwu: Yes, yes!I'm unlucky, but we must find out who wrote this letter! Wang Xiguang: I have to check it, it's so fucking hateful! Guiwu: Who is this who is killing me so hard? The lobby is full of coolies, guys drinking, eating, drinking, playing chess, and sleeping. Outside the partition of the single room, there was still a strong man sitting with a straw hat on his face, as if he was sleeping.
