Bai Jingye jokingly said: Third Grandpa, is it okay at such an advanced age? Bai Yingyu was unconvinced: Is it okay?Great!Ask them!Pointing at the prostitute next to him. The whores all giggled and covered their mouths. Bai Yingyu pointed at Bai Jingye's walking stick: Did your father discount your legs?Your father's hands are really black!How come I haven't seen you for a long time? Bai Jingye said embarrassingly: Third Grandpa, I'm so shy! Jane: Don't stand still!said in the room. Bai Yingyu: Zhen'er, don't mess around here, let's just say a few words here.

Bai Yingyu pulled Bai Jingye aside: No money to spend? Bai Jingye was very frustrated: once I came back from playing Anguo, my father would not let me get any more money from the cabinet! Bai Yingyu said in a low voice: Do you have a big business deal?Earn enough for you to spend three to five years! Bai Jingye's eyes lit up: What business?

As long as you have 50,000 yuan, you can set up two quilt factories, and you can return more than 100,000 yuan in less than three months. Do you want to do it? ?

Bai Jingye: As soon as the quilt factory is put into production, the money will come back immediately. Wang Xiguang worried: Open?In case you can't come back, I'll just sit here! Bai Jingye: If you want to eat mutton, don’t be afraid of mutton! Wang Xiguang: I don't care. If Master Qi finds out, your good leg will be hanging! Bai Jingye: Manager Wang, as soon as the money is earned, we will open four or six, why don't you take the big money?

Wang Xiguang: I don't expect to make this money, the Bai family treats me well, I am content!I can put the ugly words in my head, don't drag me into it if something goes wrong! Bai Jingye: That won't happen! Wang Xiguang: Now there is only a sum of money for your grandma's 70th birthday, I will take half of it out, sir, that is you, I will take a big risk! Bai Jingye: You know what I know, you won't say anything with a knife on your neck, it won't take a blink of an eye for three months?How many people stole this batch of military uniforms!My third grandpa has all eyes and hands!

Yang Jiuhong led Bai Yingyu's twenty-year-old granddaughter, Bai Ruixian, who was pinching flowers in the flower room, while the girl Honghua stood aside with a blue and white porcelain vase in her hand. Bai Ruixian went up the ladder and picked the flowers on the high shelf. Yang Jiuhong: Come down Ruixian, watch out for falling!Stone, pinch it! The gardener Shishi rushed over. Bai Ruixian: I pinch it myself! Yang Jiuhong: Crazy girl!Your father doesn't care about you either? Bai Ruixian: He has no time to care about it!My grandpa takes care of me, grandpa wants to send me to study in America!

Yang Jiuhong was shocked: The eldest girl's family is going to study abroad? Bai Ruixian: What's the matter?Many female students study abroad, and your second wife is the most uncivilized! Yang Jiuhong: Heh!You even sent us here, isn't it just your grandpa who believes in foreign religions! Bai Jingqi walked in: Are you looking for me? Yang Jiuhong hurried over and said with a smile: You don't know, my brother has been released. Bai Jingqi was surprised: Are you all right? Yang Jiuhong: Isn't it because of your face?Thanks to the call you made to the fourth brother!

Bai Jingqi was strange: I didn't intercede with him on the phone! Yang Jiuhong: Fourth Brother still doesn't understand?The more you say that, the more fourth brother has to listen in reverse, the more face you have to give!They made an investigation without any evidence and released the person. Bai Jingqi smiled wryly: Hey!so fresh!Lucky hit!Tell your brother to stop doing it! Bai Ruixian stepped down the ladder: Uncle Seven, your flowers are not good at all! Bai Jingqi was surprised: When did you come? Yang Jiuhong: The third old master brought her here. Bai Jingqi: Where's the third uncle?

Bai Ruixian: My grandfather went to Jingye's place! Bai Jingqi: Why does he look for Jingye with his eyes downcast?

Bai Jingqi: Yes!This is also a way!Suddenly turned around and called Shitou: Hey, I said Shitou, how did you raise this flower for me?Will you? Shitou: I don’t know how to do it. I don’t care if Lao Jiner dies. Why don’t you learn!

Bai Jingqi: No, if this continues, my flower hole will become a firewood pile! It is the time when spring flowers bloom. There are ice cups and glutinous rice bowls on the street. Ping An intersection. A row of cars is filled with various blooming flowers. Three or four children were throwing the handlebars from a distance, and the handlebars were sitting on the handlebars, resisting with their hands, attracting the attention of passers-by. When the two women saw the flowers, they praised them in surprise. A woman: Hey!How much is a pot of jasmine? Turning his head around like a flower, this is Jin Er, very ugly, his mouth is crooked and almost erect, his nostrils are facing forward, his head has become an upside-down long eggplant, his eye sockets are sunken, and he speaks in a nasal voice. Jin Er's nasal voice buzzed: Are you buying Jasmine? The two women were really taken aback, before they could speak, they held hands and walked away. A clod hit Jin Er on the shoulder. Jin Er directed at the children, babbled: what are you doing? The children ran away with a howl. Bai Jingqi was passing by in a rickshaw, and was also attracted by this cart of flowers, so he hurriedly asked the driver to stop. Bai Jingqi: Stop!What a beautiful flower!After getting out of the car, I handed the driver a ticket: don't look for it. Bai Jingqi walked to the front of the car and looked at it very appreciatively, and when he looked up at the fancy style, he was also stunned in surprise. Jin Er: What do you want, sir? Bai Jingqi: Did you raise this flower? Jin Er: Yes! Bai Jingqi: See how you can raise such beautiful flowers? Jin Er: It is a family tradition. My father Jin Er was originally a gardener who grew flowers in the gate of the Baifu Mansion! Bai Jingqi was shocked: Are you Xiao Jin Er? Jin Er: Yes! Bai Jingqi: Do you know me? Jin Er: I don't know! Bai Jingqi: I am the seventh child of the Bai family! Jin Er hurriedly stood up: Yo!Lord Seven! Bai Jingqi: What's wrong with your head?Not like this when I was a child! Jin Er: I got epilepsy when I was seven years old, and I had convulsions like this. Bai Jingqi: I am in need of a gardener. For your father's sake, come to me! Jin Er: How dare you! Bai Jingqi: The 70th birthday of the second old lady is coming, you can get me 70 pots of peonies first, and I will see flowers in pots on the day! Haidian Garden. The garden has been completed, and the contractor accompanied Bai Jingqi while inspecting and walking, followed by servants and craftsmen. The rockery, pavilions, and pavilions are well arranged, all of which are ingenious, exquisite and beautiful. Bai Jingqi satisfied: OK!Good job, next year our old garden in the second gate will also have to be repaired, and I will leave it to you! Contractor: Then thank you Seventh Master!Should I settle the bill here first?I haven't been paid for two months. Bai Jingqi: Go to Manager Wang, don't tell me about this. Contractor: I've searched for it several times, but he refused to give it even though he was pushy! Bai Jingqi was taken aback, then stopped: what is this for?Is Wang Xiguang here? Servant: Here we are, in the deer pen. Bai Jingqi: Go call him! The servant hurried off. Garden sub-deer circle. Wang Xiguang stood on the roof next to the outer wall of the deer enclosure overlooking the deer enclosure, and those watching the enclosure stood aside. The servant came running: Manager Wang, Lord Seven is looking for you! Wang Xiguang looked down: What's the matter? Servant: The contractor is asking Master Qi for a bill! Wang Xiguang hurried down from the ladder: You bastard!Isn't this ruining me?Haven't you seen that I've been avoiding Master Seven these days? Servant: What's the matter? Wang Xiguang: Stop asking!If it's a boil, it will produce pus, but now it's about to choke on Beng Deng! In the courtyard of Huayuanzi Wanxiangyuan. The contractor was pointing to Bai Jingqi about the situation in the courtyard. Wang Xiguang came to Bai Jingqi in a hurry: Master Seven looking for me? Bai Jingqi: Why haven't you paid him the bill yet? Wang Xiguang: Knot, knot!Don't say no! Bai Jingqi: Let's go!The old lady's birthday is not many days away, so I have to hurry up!Mr. Li, you go with Manager Wang! Yes Yes!The contractor wanted to leave, but Wang Xiguang didn't move. Bai Jingqi: Go!What's the matter? Wang Xiguang approached Bai Jingqi: I have to tell you something! Wang Xiguang invited Bai Jingqi into the main hall of Wanxiang Hall, making Bai Jingqi look at him in confusion. Lord Seven, I did something stupid!Wang Xiguang looked remorseful: Uncle took 50,000 silver to open two quilt factories to make military uniforms for the army, but now he can't get any more money! Bai Jingqi was furious: You bastard!I fuck you!As he said that, he was about to raise his legs to put on a posture. Wang Xiguang knew the severity of the slap, so he hastily stopped him. Wang Xiguang: Seventh Master, Seventh Master!I'm not done yet! Bai Jingqi held back the fire: Say it! Wang Xiguang: In the end, the old man was stuffed with rotten papers in his military uniform, and he was asked to find out, and he was sent to the military prison! Bai Jingqi was dumbfounded: When did this happen? Wang Xiguang: It's been more than a month, and I didn't dare to come back to you. I kept going up and down, trying to rescue the uncle first, but this matter fell into the hands of the Guan family, and Guan Jingshan didn't give me any face! Bai Jingqi was so angry that he didn't know how to vent: You fucking bastard!What the fuck are you?Who told you to give him the money? Wang Xiguang: He is the master. Although I am the manager, I am still a servant. If the master asks for money, how dare I not give it? Bai Jingqi stared: tell him to find me! Wang Xiguang: The uncle said that it will be repaid in three months, I don't think there is anything wrong, and this matter is done in partnership with the third old man! Bai Jingqi suddenly realized: No wonder the third uncle kept running to Jingye a few days ago!Hey, have you benefited? Wang Xiguang was very pious: I dare not, the uncle said it; I said, I was kicked out from the palace and had nowhere to go. It was the seventh master who took me in. The Bai family has treated me with great kindness. I can't do that funeral. A matter of conscience!If you don't believe me, ask the uncle! Bai Jingqi: This is a disaster!Is this old lady's birthday still going? Wang Xiguang: I think everything should be kept simple! Bai Jingqi: That's easy to say!Then, can the old lady not be suspicious?Don't let her know!Where is the third old man? Wang Xiguang: Hidden, I couldn't find him for several days, I heard he was in Yunxiang Pavilion in Hanjiatan! Bai Jingqi: Hiding in the kiln again!I have to ask him for money, he must have come up with the bad idea, and he has to pay for his bankruptcy! Yunxiang Pavilion brothel. Bai Jingqi walked out of the flower hall, looked around angrily, followed by Zhen'er, the big teapot, and a prostitute. Zhen'er said: "Seventh Master, don't look for it, the third old master really didn't come!" The prostitute also said: It's been a while! Bai Jingqi ignored her and rushed towards Westinghouse again. After entering the Westinghouse, Bai Jingqi turned around and came out again. Zhen'er: Look, there isn't, isn't it? Bai Jingqi: Where did you hide him? Zhen'er: You've looked in every house, where else can you hide?

Bai Yingyu: Is he my nephew?I am his grandson!This King of Hades broke his son's leg with a stick, can my old bones withstand his tossing?Jane, take that Just as Bai Yingyu was about to sit down, suddenly Bai Jingqi yelled loudly from the courtyard: "Listen, come out!" Bai Yingyu was shocked: Ancestor, why are you back again?Busily got into the small dark room again. Zhen'er and the others thought that Bai Jingqi had discovered their trick, seeing that Bai Jingqi was not approaching, they pushed open the door and said in response, "Master Seven, what are your orders?" Bai Jingqi stood in the courtyard and shouted: My third uncle came and told him that I was looking for him and told him to wait for me! Zhen'er hurriedly agreed: Definitely, definitely!He came and I told him! Watching Bai Jingqi turn around and go out of the yard again, Zhen'er waited to enter the house and opened the secret door: Come out!This time I really left!But nothing happened. In the dark room, Bai Yingyu was sitting on a small stool, his eyes were staring and he couldn't move. Zhen'er thought he was practicing something, and shouted: Come out! The big teapot leaned over and took a look: it was broken!Shut up! The three rushed forward and dragged Bai Yingyu out and put him on a chair. Zhen'er squeezed Bai Yingyu among the crowd: "Three old masters!" , Granny! Everyone kept calling, Bai Yingyu stared blankly and did not respond. Zhen'er is in a hurry: water, water!Spray! The prostitute hurriedly took a sip of water from the tea bowl, and sprayed it on Bai Yingyu's face. Bai Yingyu woke up, blinked at the three of them, and said feebly: I am really his grandson! Close the living room. Guan Jingshan pushed back a bunch of gifts on the table to Bai Jingqi: I can't accept this gift!Your eldest brother violated the military law, and the seventh master also knows that the military law is ruthless! Bai Jingqi: I don't know what to do with this matter. The two quilt factories have also been confiscated, and the money has been fined. I just want to let them out! Guan Jingshan: Let people go?Violations of military law must be dealt with according to military law!Whatever the court decides, it will be executed. Bai Jingqi: I don't understand what's going on in the army, is it spending money or trusting people?You show me the way! Guan Jingshan: Let me tell you, this matter has gone to Prime Minister Duan Qirui, and Duan Zhizheng slapped the table!It's hard to say whether your uncle's life can be saved or not! Bai Jingqi knew that there was no discussion: I can only do business? Guan Jingshan looked away: go back and listen to Xiner! Bai Jingqi stood up: There is one more sentence, for the sake of our friendship for many years, please be merciful to Lord Guan, and I will definitely thank you in the future!After Bai Jingqi finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Guan Jingshan: Take your gift! Bai Jingqi left the house without looking back: Excuse me, please throw it in the gutter!stride. Guan Jingshan watched coldly. Zhan Kuixi walked out from behind the screen with a gleeful smile: OK!Let go!This time he is not arrogant! Call him to fight this lawsuit!A bottomless pit that cannot be filled!Guan Jingshan sneered sinisterly. Zhan Kuixi pointed to the gift on the table: You don't want this gift? Guan Jingshan simply said: No!Throw it away! Zhan Kuixi hurriedly stepped forward: Don't tell me, I want it! The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan.

Dr. Yao said: "My wife's illness is not serious, she has become ill from overwork, and she is so depressed!"You have to take care of yourself!Look at Fangzi later, I laughed! Doctor Yao nodded and walked out the door, followed by Lian Xin. Bai Jingqi looked at Huang Chun: Come in and lie down! Huang Chun: Are you still worrying about being alone here? Bai Jingqi sat down: No way!Let's mortgage Jinan Longjiao Village! Huang Chun: How will you live after that? Bai Jingqi smoked a cigarette: Still in the future?Let's talk about this first! Huang Chun: What about dedication?Still in jail! Bai Jingqi: Very good, close it!Sitting in jail will also help him to have a long memory!

Mr. Du sat aside, watching Bai Jingqi took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it, took out the seal, and stamped the mortgage contract. Mr. Du stood up: Yes!For a period of two years, I will issue a bank note to you. Just as Mr. Du took the contract and walked to the door of the inner room, the curtain was lifted, and Sun Jitian walked out in good spirits, and took a look at the contract in Mr. Du's hand.

Bai Jingqi was embarrassed: Don't mention that, why are you here? Sun Jitian sat down on the chair: I opened this bank later! Bai Jingqi was really taken aback, and sat down on the chair in a daze: What a coincidence! Sun Jitian: The Seventh Master probably found such a bank that no one knows you because of face! Bai Jingqi said with great emotion: What you said is that it has been more than twenty years in a flash! After more than 20 years, how did the seventh master get into the mortgage shop?Sun Jitian couldn't hide his inner gloating. Bai Jingqi gradually regained his energy and spirit, his eyes shined brightly: people have accidents, horses have stumbles, and flowers bloom and fall every year! Sun Jitian showed a hint of ridicule: But people will never come back after their youth! The two looked at each other and refused to give in to each other. Sun Jitian laughed, and Bai Jingqi also laughed, and they both laughed heartily. After laughing, Bai Jingqi stood up and cupped his hands: Farewell! Sun Jitian also stood up and handed over the contract to Mr. Du: No!Master Du, issue a bank note to Master Seven! Bai Jingqi and Mr. Du walked out of the small living room.
