Man Bao looked puzzled, Bai Erlang couldn't wait for Bai Shan to make the atmosphere more mysterious, and told Man Bao excitedly, "Grandmother said that our two families are not good at fighting with our family, but our family is acting like this." The rudder makes people very unhappy, but my family is okay, after all, it has already branched out, and it is far away, but we can still miss some old friendships, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao and they are in contact with each other."
"But Bai Shan can't do it," Bai Erlang glanced at Bai Shan, "their family tree is still in the hands of our family, and the quarrel is too tense, which will hinder Bai Shan's reputation, so it's better to be as dark as my cousin's grandmother. Let brother Zhou deal with it, and we will also vent our anger, so it won't be so uncomfortable."
Man Bao let out an "Ah" in a daze, "It's a fake, but what can we get from them?"
"Then you can get more." Bai Shan glanced at Bai Erlang, and said to Man Bao: "Brother Zhou, don't you want to do business on the grassland? The medicinal materials, fur, cattle and sheep on the grassland are not so easy to harvest." Yes, most of them have fixed business trips. There are also places to sell to. When the goods are low, there is nothing to worry about. When there are too many goods, not to mention the places to sell to, but the places you pass by may also encounter trouble."
He said: "My family hardly does medicinal materials and fur business, but our family is different. They have a wide range of interests and are well-connected in this area."
In fact, to put it bluntly, the family wanted to re-establish a good relationship with Bai Shan's team, but Mrs. Liu was not happy with it, but she couldn't refuse it forcefully.
After all, Bai Shan is not like Master Bai, whose family tree has been separated separately, he is still under the control of the family.
And he hasn't grown up to be able to compete with the family or leave the family directly.
The world attaches great importance to the family, if his character in the family is not good, it will also affect his future career.
So Mrs. Liu is very indifferent to the people from her family, and she always softens once she refuses three times.
But it's not a solution in the long run, especially if they come to the door so frequently, outsiders will think they are very close.
The bad breath that was suppressed by the family and the family back then still accumulated in her heart, Madam Liu didn't want to let it go, so she thought it over, and simply instructed Zhou Zhoulang to contact them.
If her attitude is worse here, the other party will find Zhou Zhou Lang to deal with, once and twice, and the two sides are familiar with each other, and some things will be easy to talk about.
Bai Shandao: "Grandmother said, anyway, we can't stop them from taking advantage of us, since that's the case, why don't we let Brother Zhou go, my family is of the same race as them, some benefits are hard to talk about, Brother Zhou is an outsider , if the two sides cooperate, it is natural to open the table and compete."
When Man Bao heard it, he immediately understood, "So it was a trick."
Bai Erlang clapped his hands happily and said: "Well, I said it was a trick, but you guys said it wasn't. I overheard that in the morning, and the Fifth Uncle of my family was talking bad about you quietly. What is it if it’s not a distance meter?”
Bai Shandao: "This matter was originally calculated by us, what kind of estrangement is it calculated?"
He turned his head and asked Man Bao, "Are you going to get the red envelope?"
"Of course." Man Bao turned around and ran towards the West First Courtyard, shouting, "Wait a minute."
After a while, Man Bao hugged Batou, and she taught him, "What's your father's name when I see you later?"
"father!"
Man Bao nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he was a bit heavy, so he simply put it on the ground and took his little hand, "Let's go, let's walk, remember to tell your father that you miss him later, and cry to find your father, do you know?" ?”
Batou, who was only over one year old, didn't know if he understood. Anyway, he nodded his head in response, then took his sister-in-law's hand, and walked towards the front yard with short legs.
Seeing that he was not walking very steadily, Bai Shan said, "Looking at how excited he is, he doesn't look like he's crying to find his father at all."
Man Bao said nonchalantly: "My child, cry for a while, it's just an excuse anyway, otherwise I'm already this old, and I still go to get red envelopes from people, how embarrassing."
Bai Heng and Zhou Zhoulang were promoting glasses to Mingxue and others, when they looked up, they saw Bai Shan, Bai Cheng and a little girl coming in with a child.
Because they came here for the red envelope, Man Bao smiled embarrassedly at the person first, then pushed Batou to Zhou Zhoulang's feet and said, "Fourth Brother, Batou is crying and looking for you."
Batou immediately hugged his father's thigh, raised his head to look at his father happily, and called out happily, "Father—"
Zhou Zhoulang let out an "hey" and hugged his son on his lap, and asked, "Where is your fourth sister-in-law?"
"The fourth sister-in-law is busy."
Bai Heng has come to his senses, in the Zhou family, who else would call Zhou Zhou Lang the fourth brother
Bai Heng immediately looked at Zhou Man with piercing eyes, after thinking for a while, he got up and saluted, and said with a smile, "This is Master Zhou, right?"
It was only then that Zhou Zhou Lang remembered that the three uncles and nephews of Bai Heng had never seen Man Bao before, so he immediately introduced to Bai Heng with a smile, "Yes, this is my little sister, Man Bao, this is Bai Shan's uncle, who ranks first Five, you call him Fifth Uncle Bai."
Man Bao hurriedly took a step back, bowed and saluted, and called, "Fifth Uncle Bai, Happy New Year."
Bai Heng quickly stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, how dare I, Bai Ding, accept the gift from Master Zhou?"
Man Bao said seriously, "Fifth Uncle Bai is too polite."
Zhou Zhou Lang's heart moved slightly, he thought of something, and said with a smile: "Isn't it? You are Bai Shan's fifth uncle, and that is Man Bao's elder. An official is an official, and an elder is an elder. If you should receive the gift, you must receive the gift."
Bai Heng couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart, even though the Zhou family was born in a poor family, but their family education is very good, just in this one point, I don't know how many families they are better than.
Seeing that his eyes were full of satisfaction, Man Bao smiled and bowed again. This time Bai Heng stopped blocking him, and he touched his body...
Because I want to come to Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings, there are three families living here, and there are many children, especially the children of the Zhou family, which have two generations of children.
So he prepared a lot of red envelopes.
But thicker...
Bai Heng fumbled around, took out a pouch and handed it to Zhou Man, then tore off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to her, and said with a smile on his face: "This is the first time I see my nephew and daughter-in-law, the ceremony is a little too light, wait I'll make it up for you later."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Shan and Zhou Zhoulang.
Bai Shan nodded slightly at her, and Zhou Zhou Lang also said cheerfully: "What are you ashamed of, you two are engaged, and it's no different from a family. If Fifth Uncle Bai gives it to you, you can keep it."
But Zhou Zhou Lang thought about it for a while and felt that it was a pity that he could no longer be called Brother Bai Heng after drinking for a while.
Only then did Man Bao take it with both hands, and with a smile he wished Bai Heng another blessing, and then he was about to leave with Bai Shan and Bai Cheng.
Bai Heng asked to stay: "Shanbao, Erlang and Miss Zhou won't stay and have a drink together?"
Man Bao paused, glanced at Bai Shanhou and responded with a smile, then sat down beside Xiang Mingxue. The servants immediately stepped forward to add bowls and chopsticks to them.
Man Bao asked: "Didn't you say there are two other clan brothers? Are they not here?"
Bai Heng smiled and said: "Erlang Saburo is discussing homework with Dalang, let Shanbao introduce it to Miss Zhou later."
Man Bao responded with a smile.
