After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 359 An unexpected gain
Father Jiang didn't know what was wrong, but sweat started to appear on his forehead.
He glanced at Bai's mother cautiously and said guiltily, "Yes...it has been built, and the interior has been renovated. There are only some flowers and plants left to be planted, and we will be able to move in soon."
So, I'm almost moving there, you shouldn't be unhappy and ask me to tear it down, right?
Bai's mother watched him wipe his forehead again and again with his sleeve, and then looked at the sky outside.
At this moment, the warm sun came out and shone into the main hall, making the whole room warm.
Without thinking too much, he continued to ask, "What are your plans after moving there?"
"Plan?" He wasn't sure what Bai's mother meant. It would be awkward to just say directly that we just want to stay with you and find our daughter back!
Although such thoughts were an open secret in the hearts of both families, they could not say it out loud in front of each other.
Bai Qingyun glanced at his mother who was calm and composed. It was obvious that his mother had not realized that the "plan" they were talking about did not mean the same thing.
She gave Father Bai another look, signaling him not to just drink tea, but to help talk too, because it is your child who wants to ask a teacher!
Father Bai picked up the teacup and drank the tea, which had color, and now had no color. Father Jiang watched and took the opportunity to order someone, "Come here, give... the son-in-law another cup of tea, and give the young lady another cup of milk tea."
Bai Qingyun felt a little amused in his heart. Even though his mother didn't recognize them, it didn't matter if she called them that.
Bai's mother did not say anything to correct them, and they didn't say anything more.
The servants of the Jiang family soon realized that the person who came today was the daughter that the master had been looking for for many years, so they naturally did not dare to neglect the guest.
We dare not neglect her, but it is more convenient than entertaining other guests. Everyone knows that the master has only one daughter, and all the family property will naturally belong to this young lady in the future.
Good teacups, good tea leaves, and good snacks are all made according to the highest standards.
At this moment, the kitchen was busy with work following the instructions from the old man of the Jiang family. Regardless of whether they agreed to dine here or not, they had to start cooking first.
The old housekeeper also said that if you can’t finish it, you can just pack it up. In short, we can’t treat you badly.
In a word, the people in the kitchen also started to show off their special skills and their work became very successful.
Even when tea and snacks were served in the main hall, they would rush to serve, wanting to see them in person so that they could remember the appearance of the young lady and her family in detail and not neglect them when they saw them in the future.
It was an old butler who served Bai Qingyun milk tea.
It was obvious that the old butler had worked for the Jiang family for many years. He was not as servile as the servants and was more steady. The look he gave to Bai's mother and Bai Qingyun was more loving.
Father Bai got new tea, picked it up and took a sip, then calmed himself down.
There was no way, as this was the first time he had entered such a wealthy family. In the past, he had only hunted for good stuff in the side rooms by trading with the kitchen people or the stewards, but he had never really entered here.
I don't even know this etiquette. I just vaguely remember my wife saying that when you go to someone's house and the host serves tea, you must drink it, especially if the host is an elder.
If the tea is full, it means the host is busy and has no time to entertain guests, so I should be more tactful and leave...
All these tea etiquettes made a grown man like him feel confused.
At least the word "tea" is still remembered in my mind.
As a result, he now feels an inexplicable sense of security when drinking tea.
He cleared his throat again, looked at the person opposite him and said, "Master Jiang..."
Father Bai glanced at Mother Bai and said the same name, which should be correct.
"My wife wants to know if there is anything you would like to do after you and your family move in?"
But Mr. Bai seemed to have forgotten that if his daughter addressed her father like this, it was a reminder of her past wrongdoings, and that it was nothing wrong for her to show some temper in the eyes of her old father.
Although there is some anger, there is more love.
But in his opinion, the son-in-law's calling him that meant he didn't know how to bring the two together. Instead, he said that "Master Jiang" was deliberately distancing himself from his daughter.
Jiang's father was a little angry for a moment, but he still had some rationality. The other party was his daughter's husband, so it was more important to establish a good relationship with him.
But he was angry, so his words were not so gentle. He glared at her and asked, "Doesn't your wife have her own name?"
Hui Niang sounds so nice. I read countless books and discussed with the child’s mother for a long time before I decided on this name.
Bai's mother lowered her head in embarrassment, but still secretly tugged at Jiang's father's sleeve, just like she did when they were little.
Father Bai was stunned by the question, looked at his wife aggrievedly, and then saw that his daughter's gloating eyes had not yet been retracted.
I felt angry and annoyed, and could only pick my toes in my shoes awkwardly.
This father-in-law is indeed a former official. The invisible pressure he exerts makes one feel breathless.
Obviously...it was fine just now.
Fortunately, a maid came in and interrupted the awkward atmosphere in the air.
The maid was not very old, probably in her early twenties, and she came to serve snacks to everyone.
A portion of yam and date paste cake was served to Bai's mother, and a portion of rice cake with a strong milky flavor was served to Bai Qingyun.
The dim sum should have just come out of the pan, with some steam still coming out of it.
Jiang's father did not give any orders, but seeing his servants like this, he felt comfortable in his heart and was thinking about giving Butler Jiang some rewards.
Perhaps it was the arrival of the maid that broke the originally awkward atmosphere.
Father Jiang restrained his temper, realizing that his attitude just now was not right, and smiled gently at Bai's mother and Bai Qingyun.
Seeing that Bai's mother was still waiting for her answer, she gave up the idea of joking with her granddaughter and spoke quickly.
"Oh, plans! Actually, I don't have any plans. It's just that your...mother, the doctor said she needs to be taken good care of and can't travel long distances."
"The place is beautiful with clear water and mountains, and it's the best place for recuperation. I haven't thought about making a living."
"Although I have resigned from my post, your grandfather will not completely ignore his son."
Jiang's father smiled bitterly, but his expression did not change much, and he did not show any other emotion when he mentioned his father.
"He handed over the Jishitang in Bingzhou Prefecture, Pingcheng Prefecture, and Jiangzhou Prefecture to me to manage, and the profits were also given to the first wife. Although there was no division of the family, the financial ties with the second wife were completely cut off."
The three members of the Bai family frowned after hearing this. These three places were just a coincidence as they happened to pass by them on the way to escape.
"The reason I was able to see you in Sishui County is because a large number of refugees suddenly poured in there. Jishidiang is committed to saving people, so we naturally cannot retreat at this time."
"Sishui County borders Bingzhou, and a large amount of medicinal materials need to be mobilized, so I went there to take a look in person."
"It's just right... I took your mother out for a walk. I didn't expect..." He looked at Bai's mother deeply again: "There is an unexpected gain."
