Chapter 444 Determination
Meng Ruoxi came and left early today. Bi Yuntao reluctantly shouted to her back: "Are you leaving now? Are you coming back tomorrow?"
Meng Ruoxi had already jumped up the high wall, and before she could answer him, she heard his voice: "Be careful when climbing over the wall, don't fall."
Meng Ruoxi was so disturbed by his senseless shouting that her breath became turbid, and she almost stepped on the ground. She was ashamed and angry, so she stepped on the wall and gave him a fierce look. He jumped off the corner and ran away.
Meng Ruoxi comes and leaves whenever she wants, without even saying hello. She really doesn't take this young master seriously. But her posture over the wall was so graceful, and her little butt twisted and turned, which was very eye-catching.
After calming down, Bi Yuntao looked at the night, went back to the house, took the name card, and was about to go find Mr. He. However, not far away, he met Jing Fuwang.
Jing Fuwang looked at Bi Yuntao, who was fully dressed and ready to go out, and asked doubtfully: "Uncle, where are you going so late?"
When asked by Jing Fuwang, Bi Yuntao felt a little embarrassed for no reason. "Ahem!" Bi Yuntao coughed twice and said, "Uncle Jing, didn't someone deliver the post to Third Master He and accidentally left it with me? I'll deliver it to him."
"Oh?" Jing Fuwang looked at Bi Yuntao with a strange expression. Just send a post. Why are you dressed so fancy? It felt like I was going on a tryst.
"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jing Fuwang. Bi Yuntao knew that he couldn't hide anything from him. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He leaned close to him and whispered softly: "Uncle Jing, I won't hide anything from you anymore, Jing'er." The girl invited Mr. He to come over for a chat and discuss music, and I happened to know a little bit about it, so Miss Jing'er also invited me to come with her."
"Does Miss know about this?" Jing Fuwang asked.
"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao said awkwardly: "I just don't know, so I want Uncle Jing to help hide something. Sister Xue is still having trouble with me. If she knew that I ran to Miaoxiang Pavilion without permission, no matter what the reason was, she would definitely get angry Temper. The Xue family and the He family have just concluded a business deal, and now is the critical moment. Sister Xue cannot be distracted by such trivial matters."
Bi Yuntao spoke in a righteous manner, completely thinking about Xue Ruyue, and was not prepared to feel guilty at all when he was caught visiting a brothel.
You know you can't mess with young ladies, so you still want to go to a brothel? He even shamelessly talked about visiting the brothel in a righteous way. Jing Fuwang kept complaining in his heart, but thinking that the predicament of the Xue family yesterday was all because of his uncle, Jing Fuwang still chose to turn a blind eye to the small matter of visiting the brothel, man! Who hasn’t gone out to socialize yet? What's more, my uncle said that this was Miss Jing'er's initiative to invite them to discuss music. This bright and clear person sent someone to deliver the name card, and it couldn't be that kind of shameful thing.
So Jing Fuwang nodded and said: "Since we are discussing music, uncle, please go as soon as possible. Don't make Miss Jing'er wait impatiently. But it's getting late now, so I'd better go early and come back early, but don't come back too late." Late, let the lady miss you."
Um... Jing Fuwang was so reasonable that Bi Yuntao felt uncomfortable for a while, but since Jing Fuwang said so, Bi Yuntao wouldn't be polite.
"Then Uncle Lao Jing hid something for me." Bi Yuntao said politely.
"Hahaha, don't take it to heart!" Jing Fuwang patted Bi Yuntao's shoulder and said, "I've been here too, but young people still need to know how to exercise restraint. Don't be too obsessed with that kind of land of fireworks and romance. Let the lady Sadly."
"Ahem!" When Jing Fuwang said this, even though Bi Yuntao was thick-skinned, he still couldn't stand it, so he laughed and changed the subject, "By the way, Uncle Jing, our Xue family used to be a well-known and wealthy family, but now we Is this the only garden the Xue family has?"
Jing Fuwang didn't know why Bi Yuntao asked, but he still told the truth, shook his head and said: "Of course it's not just this one. The Xue family has a great business and has several houses in Jinling, Suzhou, Zhenjiang and other places. There is also another one in the south of the city. The area of the large manor is more than dozens of times that of this place."
"When the old man of Madam's family was still alive, he returned to his hometown from the imperial court and planted many flowers and plants there. There were so many of them. The ones in this garden now are not even one percent of those there. The many flowers and plants in this garden, They were all transplanted from there, and there are people watching over there now, and the scale is much larger than here.”
This Xue family is really a big landowner! Bi Yuntao couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, and at the same time he was a little bit sad. Even if the Xue family is now in a state of decline, it is not comparable to ordinary people. Sure enough, as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
"Uncle Jing, since the Xue family's family assets are so strong, it stands to reason that other aristocratic families should not target the Xue family, and other aristocratic families should not deal with each other, but why do they unite to target the Xue family?" Bi Yuntao asked the doubts that had been bothering him for a long time. Bi Yuntao was even more confused when he learned about the Xue family's strength from Jing Fuwang.
"Hey! You will also be the uncle of the Xue family in the future, and I won't hide it from you." Jing Fuwang sighed, and then Jing Fuwang started to tell.
"You should also know something about the current situation of the Xue family. The Xue family is now headed by my wife. It is unnatural for a woman to be in charge of the family, not to mention that such a large Xue family is controlled by a married outsider, my wife. "
As soon as Jing Fuwang said these words, Bi Yuntao frowned and his face was extremely ugly. Although he knew that women had a low status in this era, Bi Yuntao still felt a little uncomfortable.
As a modern person, he is also a soldier. The education he received is that women hold up half the sky and everyone is equal. This abnormal social perception makes him very uncomfortable. Are women born to be men's vassals? Since you have such disdain for women, I still want the Xue family, which is headed by a woman, to be superior to you people.
Bi Yuntao secretly made up his mind. At the same time, he also decided to wait until the experimental research on the perfume was completed, then go to Sister Xue and Mrs. Xue, and leave all the production and sales of the perfume to them. When the Xue family soars into the sky, it will surely amaze everyone.
Jing Fuwang saw that Bi Yuntao's face was a bit ugly, and didn't know what he was thinking. He thought he was feeling sorry for the young lady, so he patted Bi Yuntao on the shoulder in a comforting way and said, "Don't worry too much. The Xue family can persist." Now, thanks to the young lady sharing the burden on Madam’s shoulders, uncle, you must treat the young lady well.”
Bi Yuntao nodded solemnly and said: "Uncle Jing, don't worry, I will definitely treat Sister Xue well." Thinking of that strong woman, Bi Yuntao felt soft in his heart.
