After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 40 Willing to admit defeat
Not only did she not receive the invitation, but she also lost the farm. Aunt Qiao was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Bai Yanlang looked embarrassed. He touched the tip of his nose guiltily and stammered "hmm".
"Husband, didn't you say that Zaozhuang was to be left to Yaoyao as a dowry? Now that the invitation has been given to Luochuan, the manor must naturally be taken back."
"I'll talk to Youyou later."
Bai Yanlang evaded the question.
Not to mention that the troublemaker won't give it to her. If the Lu family gets to know about it, I'm afraid there will be a huge uproar and everyone will know about it.
He can't afford to lose face!
Bai Muchen, who was standing by, said sympathetically, "Mom, it's just a farm. When your son makes money, he can buy a better one for your sister as a dowry."
Bai Yanlang was delighted to hear this. "Your mother said that you bought the Ziyun Inkstone a few days ago. Did you make two hundred taels of silver just by buying and selling it?"
"Yeah, yes, Dad."
Bai Muchen was very proud. "This time my son bought a set of the four treasures of the study used by the great scholar Zhuang in the previous dynasty. If he sells it, he will definitely make more money."
"Third brother has been smart since he was young." Bai Mulin echoed.
Aunt Qiao felt much better when she saw how the father was loving to the son, and the brothers were friendly to each other.
But she was still unwilling to give up the manor to Bai Youyou for nothing.
It was already dark, and lanterns had been hung under the wooden corridor.
Bai Luochuan sat on the chair, dazed and silent.
"You've already received the invitation, why are you still not happy?" Bai Youyou pushed the plum cake on the table in front of him.
"I am willing to admit defeat."
Bai Luochuan's throat felt like it was burned, and it was stinging. "For the next three years, I will obey your orders."
"You don't have to send me on an errand, but I don't want you to do anything else for the next three years. You just need to stay away from Aunt Qiao and her son. You are not allowed to accept anything they give you, and you must fight for every penny of what belongs to you." Bai Youyou smiled at him, "Is it possible?"
Bai Luochuan was slightly surprised, "Just that?"
"This is easier said than done."
Bai Youyou picked up the milk that Xiaoju had just brought over and took a sip. "You can refuse once, but what about twice, three times, or four times? It's not hard to do something, but it's hard to persist."
She raised her eyes and smiled, "In the past, Dad asked you to give away things that belonged to you. Were you happy?"
Bai Luochuan shook his head honestly.
"I got the invitation today. Seeing my elder brother and father get humiliated, do you feel happy?"
"Ah."
Bai Luochuan felt happy when he thought of Bai Mulin's smiling face today, which was uglier than crying.
He didn't deny it and nodded again.
"Do you want to go to Bailu Academy?"
"miss you!"
Bai Luochuan answered without hesitation this time, but he was a little unconfident. "The admissions of Bailu Academy are very strict. I am not well educated, so I am afraid that I will not be accepted by those old scholars."
"If you want to go, I will do it for you."
Bai Youyou said it with certainty.
Because it is written in the book that on the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Tianqian year, Qiao Yanyan of the Qiao family rescued a person in the camellia garden.
That person was Dean Kong of Bailu Academy. Later in the book it was written that Bai Yanlang deliberately used huge profits to exchange this credit from Qiao Yanyan, and then attributed the credit to Bai Yaoyao. He also took this opportunity to send Bai Mulin to study at Bailu Academy.
Bai Luochuan's eyes were red, "Sister, are you going to ask for help? If you want to ask for help, then there is no need. It doesn't matter where I study. I just need to work harder."
“Birds fly high when they follow phoenixes, and people are virtuous when they are with virtuous people.” Bai Youyou patted his arm, “A teacher is like light, which can lead to great things. Only when you meet a good teacher can you avoid taking detours.”
Outside the house, Mrs. Lu was picking up the door curtain with her fingers, looking at the harmonious scene of brother and sister through the gap, tears streaming down her face.
"That's great, it's great to see that the siblings can live in harmony. I can die with peace of mind now."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, God of Heaven and Earth, my young lady speaks without thinking, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Yang Momo quickly put her hands together and bowed in all directions.
Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears with a smile, then lifted the curtain and walked in.
Cuizhu placed the dinner she brought back from the kitchen on the table and asked caringly, "Madam, can I warm up a pot of hot wine for you?"
"Okay, okay, let's celebrate my son's victory by having a few drinks."
Mrs. Lu was happy. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of Bai Luochuan's favorite stewed meat, and also picked up another piece for Bai Youyou.
"Thank you, mother."
Bai Luochuan put the piece of stewed meat into his mouth. The sourness in his chest made him unable to tell what the taste was.
He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had received such a favorable response from her.
It seems to have started when I was seven years old and my aunt gave me a plate of lychees.
The plate of lychees was originally intended by his mother to be taken to his grandmother for her to taste. When he saw that Aunt Qiao liked them, he sent them directly to her yard.
At that time, Aunt Qiao praised him for his noble character every day, saying that he was open-minded, kind and generous, and exemplified the style of a young man from a wealthy family.
He believed it and was even proud of it. Every time he did this, Mrs. Lu would get so angry that she would shake her hands and call herself a rebellious son.
Bai Youyou glanced at him and saw that he had his head lowered, as if something had fallen into the bowl.
It is difficult to change the character that has been praised for more than ten years, but she believes that in three years, he will finally have a great enlightenment.
After ten years, the family finally had a harmonious reunion dinner again. Mrs. Lu was so happy that she couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Bai Youyou and Xiaoju wiped the calligraphy and paintings they brought back yesterday with a towel, and were moving a chair to dry them in the yard.
"lady!"
"lady!"
Mrs. Liu from Aunt Qiao's yard came in a hurry, clamoring to see Lu.
"presumptuous!"
Bai Youyou said angrily with a serious face, "This is the mistress's yard, shouting and yelling is a disobedience!"
"Fourth Miss, I didn't mean to bother you, Madam. It's just that our aunt sent me to the account office to get some money, but Zhang Momo, the accountant, said that she couldn't withdraw money without Madam's permission."
Mrs. Liu clasped her hands together, pretending to be sad, and said threateningly, "If the account office doesn't pay, the small kitchen will have no money to buy things. When the master comes back, there will be no hot meals to eat."
"Why? If you don't light the fire in the small kitchen, will the people in the mansion starve to death?"
After Lu got dressed, she walked out of the house, stood on the steps and looked down at Mrs. Liu, "Go back and tell Mrs. Qiao that everything she eats, wears and spends must follow the rules. If she wants to open a small kitchen, let her pay for it herself!"
"This..." Mrs. Liu was shocked, "Madam, the master eats at the aunt's place every day..."
"Humph!"
Mrs. Lu sneered, "Don't use him to pressure me. If Mrs. Qiao is not satisfied with this matter, let her go to your master and let your master come and talk to me, the mistress, in person!"
Mrs. Liu left in disgrace. After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she smashed the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand to the ground.
"Good job Lu!"
My aunt only receives ten taels of silver a month. If she really follows the rules in the future, she won't even be able to support the servants in the yard, let alone the small kitchen which costs nearly a hundred taels a month.
