Chapter 87 Break up

The two girls that Bai Xin bought back, one surnamed Qin and the other surnamed Han, also had no names, and they were called according to their ranking at home. Bai Xin was worried that they would still be called according to the old ones, which would make them unable to forget their old family life, so they separated. One was named Qin Kuai and the other was named Han Qiao. The two girls kowtowed in confusion and wrote down their new names.

When Qin Kuai and Han Qiao came, they were dressed in rags. They wanted to change clothes for them, but they were too big for the old lady's clothes, and they couldn't wear Wu Niang's clothes. They used the aunt's old clothes and changed them, and the two girls washed them again, and they looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Qin Kuai and Han Qiao were timid at first, but after getting along for a few days, they saw that the Bai family was easy-going, they never beat or scolded them, and they could eat enough and dress warmly, so they gradually got used to it, and their hands and feet became nimble. Waiting for others to order, I can think of what to do.

On this day, it was the day when it was time to deliver goods to the bathhouses. Dalang pulled the cart and went out. The shop was replaced by Bai Xin to watch. It was Cheng Wenren who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Seeing him, Bai Xin laughed unconsciously, looked him up and down a few times, only to feel that he hadn't seen him for a few days, Cheng Wenren seemed to have matured a lot, he walked around from behind the counter, crossed his hands and said, "Brother Wenren."

Before Cheng Wenren and Bai Xin got acquainted, they were not ignorant of learning and skills, but they didn't pay attention to their studies and were not interested in business, so they would play around and fight with dogs all day like other young masters, just because he was the youngest son. , the family loves and pets very much, and every time the Cheng family's old father taught him a lesson, his mother would protect him in her arms. The family felt that the child was pure in nature, would not cause trouble, and was not as weak as a crown, so they just turned a blind eye.After Cheng Wenren got to know Bai Xin, he saw with his own eyes that he carried the burden of the whole family on his body, struggled bit by bit, started from scratch, and now opened a small shop. I really have nothing to do, and I have self-esteem, thinking that Baixin's shop is on Panlou Street, so I asked my father for a silk and satin shop on this street, and wanted to learn how to manage it.

The parents of Cheng's family were pleasantly surprised when they heard this. They all said that their son had grown up, but they were parents after all. They didn't believe that their son suddenly became enlightened, so they secretly recruited Fulin to ask about it.Fulin is Cheng Wenren's personal servant. He knew Bai Xin when he was in Songshan Village, and since then he has been watching, so he said everything, including that Cheng Wenren used his pocket money to pay the rent for Bai Xin a while ago. He also kept things from the other party.

After hearing this, the parents of the Cheng family had mixed feelings, thinking that they had tried their best to persuade their son and beat them severely, but the son still looked like he was not good enough, so what should be done, but the actions of outsiders made his son sensible, the ancients said It is true that the poor child is in charge of the family early. Cheng's mother thinks of the rouge cream and face powder she uses now, and has a good impression of Bai Xin in her heart. She doesn't care about her son's behavior of subsidizing money for him. Instead, she is happy that her son has more contact with him , close to Zhu Zhechi, learn to be diligent and serious.

Although there was an old shopkeeper in the silk and satin village who taught Cheng Wenren, but he had never been in contact with it before. After reading the account books for a few days, he became dizzy. Bai Xin couldn't swallow this breath again. It seemed that he was too embarrassed to talk to Bai Xin even if he was doing nothing like this. He gritted his teeth and persisted. He turned over those ledgers, chewed them up and put them in his mind. Slowly, he sorted out the rules. When he got the skills, even the shopkeeper praised him as talented and intelligent, and he is a business material.

Cheng Wenren gained confidence, so he came to Tianxiangtang to look for Bai Xin when he had time to spare.

"Sanlang!" Cheng Wenren also crossed his hands. When he saw Bai Xin, he felt that the hard work of the past few days was worth it. He felt that he had grown taller at this station.

Seeing that he was proud of himself, Bai Xin couldn't help but ask, "Has anything good happened to you recently?"

Cheng Wenren wanted to show off to Bai Xin, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I recently started to help my father manage the silk and satin business. I have gained a little, so I am naturally happy."

"This is a good thing. Brother Wenren, you are smart and diligent, and you will be able to master it as soon as possible."

When Cheng Wenren heard the word "diligence", he blushed for a while, and then he was flattered by his praise, as if a lot of strength surged out of his body, he rushed back immediately, and he was able to return the thick stack of ledgers in the store. read it again.

The two chatted and laughed, and after a while, they heard a sound of thump, thump, and thump from the stairs. They knew that someone had come down, so they stopped talking and looked over.

It was Qin Kuai who came upstairs and came down. Seeing her anxious face, she opened her mouth to speak when she suddenly saw someone else in the store. She didn't know Cheng Wenren. She saw that the person was dressed luxuriously. She thought it was a customer. She was at a loss and lowered her head. Neither forward nor backward.

Bai Xin knew that Qin Kuai was afraid of rich people like Cheng Wenren, and when he saw her anxious face, he was right, so he asked, "Qin Kuai, what's wrong?"

Qin Kuai lowered his head, stared at the toe of his shoe, and whispered: "Sister Han Qiao is ill. When she just stood up, she suddenly fell down again. I touched her forehead and it was very hot. Mom told me to tell you when I got a headache. When Da Lang comes back, let him go to find a doctor."

The mother in her mouth refers to Mrs. Cao, Qin Kuai and Han Qiao who were trained by the teeth prostitutes, saying that in the future, the hostess should be called madam, but Mrs. Cao couldn't get used to it. She always felt that Mrs. would shorten her life, so she let They called her "Mom".

Bai Xin frowned, "Why are you so well-behaved, you suddenly fell ill?"

"Sister Han Qiao felt a little uncomfortable yesterday, she didn't dare to say anything, she thought she would be fine after a night of sleep..."

Bai Xin nodded, guessing that Han Qiao was also afraid that her family would dislike her for being sick, "Okay, you go up, brother is coming back soon, when he comes back, let him go and hire a doctor."

Qin Kuai got the order, blessed this way, turned around, and ran upstairs.

Bai Xin turned around, and saw Cheng Wenren frowned and looked at the stairs. Just about to ask what's wrong, the other party asked first: "Who is she? And who is Han Qiao?"

"Thanks to Brother Wenren's support, the business in the shop has gradually stabilized, and there is a shortage of manpower. I bought two girls from the dentist. One is the one you just saw, and the other is Han Qiao."

Cheng Wenren's brows still didn't relax, and his frowns became tighter and tighter. He couldn't explain why. When he saw a strange girl coming down from Bai Xin's house on the first day of the lunar new year, he felt unhappy. He turned his head to look at Bai Xin, saying : "I see that she is not very old, she is younger than you. What kind of work can she do when she buys it home? She can be assigned to you as a wife."

Seeing his strange expression, Bai Xin didn't know why, so he said, "Don't make fun of me, brother Wenren. It's just that my family is orphaned and widowed. I don't dare to buy a boy back. Besides, my work is not heavy work. In a short time, Qin Kuai and Han Qiao have worked hard and can already help a lot."

Cheng Wenren heard Bai Xin praise the two girls, her heart seemed to be soaked in plum soup, salty and sour, without thinking about it, she came out bald, "Perhaps after getting along for a long time, I fell in love with it, say no It will surely make a good marriage.”

Bai Xin could hear the sting in his words, and looked at the stairs thoughtfully, thinking that although Qin Kuai flinched just now, he was not at fault, and he didn't know where he offended Cheng Wenren.Thinking about it, he thought that Cheng Wenren knew that his family was poor, and when he suddenly saw that he had bought two people, he immediately felt unbalanced. Unhappy, he said casually: "I haven't thought about the relationship between men and women, but I heard you, brother, it's time to arrange a marriage at home, and I hope to have a glass of wedding wine and be happy."

He wanted to change the subject, but the atmosphere became more solemn and stagnant. Hearing what he said, Cheng Wenren felt a thorn in his heart, and he fell silent for a while, only focusing on relieving his discomfort.

The two parties broke up unhappy, and Bai Xin was a little bit unmotivated. After a while, Da Lang came back, went out to invite the doctor, and went upstairs to show Han Qiao a look. There was nothing serious. The subordinates were terrified, but now they breathed a sigh of relief, and fell ill.
