"Madam, the young master is here."

"Let him in."

Bai Yan entered the house not long after.

"My son greets his mother."

"I heard that a guest came to my house. Is she a girl from the Su family?"

"That's right, I wasn't there when Miss Su came to visit yesterday, so I called her home today."

"I heard that you have been cooperating with the Su family for several years. Is this Miss Su the one who calls the shots in their family?"

"The person who makes the decision in the Su family has always been Miss Su. Her father is an honest farmer, and her mother is too gentle and has no independent opinions. I have never met her eldest brother. I heard that he is studying in the Imperial College and has no time to manage the family business. Su Miss Su has always been in charge of the family business."

When Bai Yan talked about Miss Su, his eyes were full of admiration, but he didn't notice that Bai's mother was holding the sheets underneath with one hand while he was talking.

Mrs. Bai is seeing her son lying on the bed at the moment. As for whether he is sick or not, I am afraid only Mrs. Bai knows clearly.For as long as Bai Yan can remember, his mother's health has always been bad. Even if the doctor came to check, he couldn't find out the reason.Bai Yan also knew that his mother suffered a lot due to his father's favoritism in the early years. It was understandable that he would pretend to be sick to win his father's sympathy. But now his father has been absent from the house for more than two years. He lives with his aunt in Zhuangzi outside the city, but his mother has become ill again in recent months. Bai Yan really doesn't know what his mother is thinking.

When it comes to Bai's father living with his Aunt Hua and his concubine in Zhuangzi outside the city, this involves the family affairs of the Bai family.

When Bai Yan was still young, his father was extremely partial and would send everything good to Aunt Hua and her concubine. His mother was ill every day, not to mention the affairs in the house, even his own son. There was no way to take care of him. He was brought up by his wet nurse since he was a child. This life lasted until he was ten years old. After he showed his amazing business talent, his father gradually turned his attention to him, but instead of paying attention to him, he suppressed him. , in the father's heart, only his concubine is his real son, and he, the legitimate son, is not much different if he has it or not. In order to make the life of his mother and sister easier in the future, in order to seize the power of the family, he does not know how to eat It was a lot of pain, but it was all worth it. Everything in the White House was now in his hands, forcing his father to take his aunt and his good concubine to the village outside the city and do all this in vain. Yan didn't regret it at all. If he hadn't protected his mother and sister, they might have died in the backyard without knowing how.

Bai Yan was thinking, and suddenly heard a series of coughs coming from the bed. Bai Yan quickly got up, and as a habit, he stepped forward to help his mother sit up and pat her back.With one hand, he took the pear ointment handed over by the maid and fed it to Bai Mu who was half leaning on the bed.

After drinking a cup of snow pear ointment, Bai Mu's cough stopped.

"Yan'er, I'm tired, you go down."

Bai Yan was not surprised at all by his mother's attitude.

"Then my son will go down first. Mother, please take care of yourself."

After Bai Yan left, Nanny Huang who was on the side went up.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Bai Mu, who was lying on the bed, still looked as sick as before.

"It doesn't matter, you said that the girl from the Su family has seen you."

"Yes ma'am, but the old slave looked at her as if she didn't recognize me."

"How old was she when you met her back then? It's okay if you don't remember her. Just in case, you should show up less often in front of her in the future."

"I didn't expect her to come to our yard today. The people in the house are too loose."

"You can go to the accounting office later to get 5 taels of silver."

"Yes, ma'am." "I'm tired, you go down."

Nanny Huang left the house, told the maid who was guarding the door to take good care of her, and then went to the accounting room.

Due to the huge business in Baifu, they hired five accountants alone. The gray-haired steward in front of him has been working in Baifu for half his life and is now the person Bai Yan trusts the most.

"Guanshi Feng, I'm here to get 5 taels of silver notes to buy some medicinal materials for the old lady's health."

After hearing what Nanny Huang said, Manager Feng didn't say much. He took out 5 taels of silver notes from the box where the banknotes were placed and handed them to Nanny Huang. He took out an account book and wrote down the account. Pushed to Nanny Huang.

Aunt Huang got used to it, so she took a brush and wrote her name on the bottom.

As soon as Aunt Huang left, Manager Feng held the account book in one hand and made a few strokes on the abacus with the other hand, and then calculated that the old lady had withdrawn 60 taels in silver notes from the accounting room last month.

Manager Feng sighed in his heart. If the young master hadn't made a lot of money, this family wouldn't be enough for the old lady to lose.Ever since the eldest young master took charge of the family, the old lady would come to the cashier's office every now and then to pay bills, at least ten thousand taels. Previously, with the eldest young master's permission, he would come over to pay the bills, and he would never ask. .But the amount of banknotes coming from the old lady is getting bigger and bigger. From tens of thousands taels per month at the beginning, to now it has reached 60 taels per month. Even to buy tonics, the amount is tens of thousands taels per month. If you drink the tonic, it will kill everyone.

Thinking of this, Manager Feng picked up the account book and went to the eldest young master's yard.

"Guanshi Feng, why do you always come here?"

The boy guarding the door of the hospital saw that it was Guanshi Feng who was coming, and immediately stepped forward to help him. Guanshi Feng was quite old, so don't fall down here.

Manager Feng waved his hand and rejected the boy's kindness.

"I'm not old enough to be supported by others. Is the eldest young master in the courtyard?"

"The eldest young master is in the study at the moment. You should go there by yourself."

Guanshi Feng went to Bai Yan's study with his hands behind his back. At the door of the study, Bai Yan's servant saw that the person coming was Guanshi Feng and opened the door of the study directly.

Bai Yan was looking at last month's bill at the moment. When he saw the movement at the door, he knew that Manager Feng was coming. Only when the old manager came, the boy guarding the door would not pass the news.

"Mr. Feng, why are you here?"

Manager Feng placed the account book in his hand on the table.

"Look, this is the money that the old lady paid from the accounting room last month. The total is 60 taels. If there is no problem, please sign it."

Bai Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard the 60 taels, and he picked up a pen and wrote his name on the account book.

Bai Yan had never doubted Guanshi Feng. As the saying goes, if you don't doubt the people you employ, don't doubt the people you use. He was quite at ease with Guanshi Feng's character.

"Young Master, every time Nanny Huang comes to ask for money, she says she wants to buy tonics. Is the old lady's health really that bad?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. Although my mother's health is a bit weak, it's not a big problem. Just take care of her."
