"Brother, don't worry, what Mai Miao said is right, if it weren't for a coincidence, we, a small merchant, wouldn't have gotten into Cheng Mei's eyes. Besides, Cheng Mei is only a few years younger than Mother."

After Tian Maimiao finished talking about Cheng Mei, Bai Sanzhuang finally came to his senses.

It turned out that the elder brother was worried about himself.

But what Mai Miao said is right, the eldest brother is too worried.

"Besides, even if she is eighteen years old, I only care about Mai Miao among women in this world." Bai Sanzhuang smiled at his wife.

In front of her grandma, father-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Tian Maimiao, who has always been straightforward, blushed.

"Don't tell me it's a scam? How come you are willing to take you to Nanyang to make a fortune just because you saved their housekeeper?"

After all, the shadow of Bai Sanzhuang being framed for rebellion is too great. The old lady Bai is skeptical of all good things that come from heaven, lest it will bring disaster to the Bai family.

It doesn't matter whether you get rich or not, what matters is that the family is safe and sound.

Zhen Shi had a different opinion, she thought for a while and said: "Mother, this matter can't be discussed completely like this. Back then, my mother just helped the Bai family. Leaks and leaks, but the Bai family saved my life because of this little help. I think there are ungrateful people like An Xiucai in this world, but I believe there are more people like our Bai family who know how to repay the kindness of dripping water. people."

Xie Chuntao kept nodding at the side, agreeing with her mother-in-law very much, and said: "Mother said yes, if you don't mention it, just talk about the Zhou family. My sister-in-law saved Feng Zhiheng, and the Zhou family sent the fourth brother and Erlang to Huaicheng to study. There are also embroiderers from the village recruited by our embroidery workshop, some of whom would not even dare to kill chickens, but this time they dared to take away the knives of the officials to protect us."

Although the truth is correct, it is different.

After all, this housekeeper, Bai Sanzhuang, just met once, unlike the Zhou family, which has a century-old reputation as a Confucianist, and it's not like the embroidered lady in the village who knows everything.

The so-called know people know the face but not the heart.

When Bai Sanzhuang saw his mother's support for him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "The housekeeper's surname is Yan, and his face was burned. I also accidentally met him at the entrance of the steamed stuffed bun shop..."

"The face is burned?"

Zhen's and Bai Muban's heart skipped a beat, and they looked at each other.

"Is it the burning lumps on the face, it's terrible, and the voice is harsh?" Bai Muban asked suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fuyuan also raised her head thoughtfully, she seemed to have seen this person before.

"Grandma, father, mother, we have met this person, when we bought a house in Yangfeng County." Xiao Fuyuan said.

The old lady Bai thought about it carefully, the house in Yangfeng County was indeed bought from a man with burns on his face.

When Xiao Fuyuan said this, Xie Chuntao and Bai Dazhuang also remembered.

It was the man who left a deep impression on everyone.

At that time, his face was very scary. Originally, the Bai family saw that he didn't want to buy that house, but Xiao Fuyuan was not afraid of him.

Not only was he not afraid of him, but he also smiled at him. He directly sold the house to the Bai family, saying that he and Xiao Fuyuan were destined.

What a coincidence!
"But I remember that the burnt person last time was surnamed Luo, but the person San Zhuang met was named Yan?" Zhen asked.

Butler Yan.

Zhen Shi and Bai Muban knew such a person, who was the housekeeper of the Shen family in Huaicheng.

Later, Bai Muban found out that he was conspired and killed by Mrs. Ru on the night Xiao Fuyuan was born.

"Maybe it's a different person." Bai Sanzhuang said.

"In short, it doesn't matter whether his surname is Yan or Luo, he is indeed Cheng Mei's official family, and he is also a person who repays kindness. After I received Du Nian's letter, I thought about it carefully. Our shop in Huaicheng It went so smoothly, and there was his push behind it. There is something I didn’t tell you, the last time we went to Suzhou to sell silk, the merchant ship encountered pirates, and was chased away by sailors on a big ship and escorted all the way to Huaishui. I think this big boat belongs to the Cheng family. It should be this steward Yan who is protecting me from behind."

It is common for merchant ships to encounter pirates. Bai Sanzhuang did not say that he was afraid of his family's worries before, but now he said it out, just to prove that Steward Yan is harmless to him.

The most important thing is to persuade the elders in the family to go to Nanyang.

Bai Sanzhuang is a very ambitious person, walking from Nanguan Town to Huai City is not his goal.

He had wanted to go to Nanyang for a long time. First, there was no independent merchant ship, and second, he knew nothing about the route there.

Now this opportunity came, and he wanted to seize it.

What's more, my sister said that there is no problem for him to go to Nanyang.

Sure enough, after hearing Bai Sanzhuang's words, the family members felt sorry for him.

"It seems that San Zhuang has formed a good relationship." Bai Muban said with emotion.

Bai Muban refused to let his son go to Shuzhong. Xiao Fuyuan's biological father, Shen Junshan, sank to the bottom of the Jialing River, and he didn't know whether it was due to wind waves or water bandits.

He thought it would be safe as long as he bypassed the place in the middle of Sichuan, but he never thought that going to Suzhou would encounter twists and turns.

The third son of his family has suffered!
Bai Sanzhuang said: "Why did I go to Nanyang? It's for public and private. For public, I want to make a fortune for my family. For private, I always think about it. The elder brother cultivated the seeds of swallow and millet, and the second elder brother taught private schools. Not to mention that peaches and plums are all over the world. The fourth brother is said to be the champion seedling, and the fifth brother is inspired to become a general. Needless to say, the younger sister. There are only a few brothers in the family, but I have not made a lot of achievements. I want to go to Nanyang to make some achievements come out."

Xiao Fuyuan turned her head to look at the third brother. The third brother has great ambitions, and it may not only be in business.

The old lady Bai and Bai Muban were saddened by what they said, and Zhen Shi even wiped away tears. She thought that the third son was also a student, but he went to work as an apprentice for his family.

Now that I have the desire to venture out, how can I interfere again.

Tian Maimiao took the opportunity to say: "I know grandma and dad are worried about the long distance to Nanyang and the unfamiliarity of the place. But even if we want to open a shop in our Nanguan Town, we have to go through a lot of hardships. As long as we do business, there are risks. San Zhuang and I have always wanted to grow our shop, if we don’t want the shop to grow, I might as well sell pork in my old business.”

Tian Maimiao saw that her mother-in-law supported Bai Sanzhuang in her heart, and the biggest resistance now was her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

"Although our shop has a good business in Huaicheng, how many silk shops are there in Huaicheng alone? Now it seems that making money is not bad, because the family's expenses are low. In the future, it will not be said that the fourth brother needs money to go to Beijing to take the exam. Erlang is so advanced The younger generation needs money to continue their studies, and the older sisters and aunts will save money for dowry and buy a house in the county. This money is not enough. Instead of developing in Huaicheng, it is better to take the opportunity to take a long-term view. Taking advantage of the lack of merchants in Nanyang, we Take this opportunity to go for a run.”

Tian Maimiao spoke very earnestly, not only pointing out that Bai Sanzhuang is for the public, but also pointing out that Bai Sanzhuang is unwilling to only develop in Huaicheng.

These words reached the hearts of old lady Bai and Bai Muban.

The family has been saving up a dowry for Xiao Fuyuan.

It seems that the houses in Yangfeng County, the houses in Nanguan Town, the hilltops in Shangyang Village, the cadres of embroidery workshops and Huaicheng shops are already quite a lot for peasant girls.

But in the hearts of the three elders of the Bai family, these are far from enough.

What's more, Xiao Fuyuan is now the owner of the village, and the dowry in the future will be worthy of her only if she has ten miles of red makeup.

In private, Bai Muban bought Xiao Fuyuan's dowry to cover every aspect of her life, even if one day he and Mrs. Zhen are gone, if her brothers and nephews ignore her, the dowry will be her confidence.

Now it's not even a fraction of the distance from Hongzhuang.

Bai Muban couldn't help looking at Xiao Fuyuan, the little girl was getting more and more beautiful.She was born without parents, and after coming to the Bai family, the life of the Bai family became better and better. Such a girl made Bai Muban feel more and more distressed and guilty.

If you count on yourself, you may not be able to earn such a large dowry for your daughter, but San Zhuang may be able to.

Do you want to support the third son to go to Nanyang to save a dowry for his daughter?

Thinking of this, Bai Muban asked Xiao Fuyuan with a smile: "Girl, do you think your third brother is going to Nanyang?"
