Chapter 6 Yu Ren
006 horse and ox.
Yang Heng nodded and gestured for Lie Dang to continue.
Lie Dang said,
"The Bai family's actions are simply to regard Border(Beiguan) Town as their own. Miss Bai's actions are absurd, and she dared to speak out in public at such a young age. Even when the Northern Army soldiers and local people heard her outrageous words, they were not surprised. It can be seen that her daily actions have always been like this, and the entire Northern Army, along with the local people, have long known only the Bai family as their ruler."
Lie Dang only said what was going on with the "Bai family ". Clearly, he did not believe what the scout said. The Bai family was headed by Miss Bai. However, it was no wonder that no one else could believe that the Tyrant King in Beiguan City was actually a brash girl who had brought her servants to show off the market and show off her power.
"However,"
Lie Dang muttered to himself and continued,
" If we can take the Bai family back to our own use..."
He raised his eyes to look at Yang Heng who was sitting in front of him. He retrieved the news from the scout. The Bai family's young miss, Bai Fuling, was clearly a key figure that could affect Lu Ying and the Bai family. As long as he could control this woman in his hands, many problems would be solved.
His master was a famous and romantic figure in the Capital. Although he had no job on the surface and no authority, he was only a noble royal bloodline, but he was the dream lover of most of the beautiful girls in the capital.
That young lady of the Bai family was from a humble background and was the only daughter of a merchant Jia. She acted arrogantly and despotically, but just now, he had heard that she was close to Lu Ying and that she had wealth. It was rare for her appearance to be seen in the Palace, and even if she was taken as her master's concubine, she couldn't help it. An ordinary merchant's daughter could become a prince's concubine. To her parents and family, it was a glory that could not be begged.
Marriage was originally a method of combining forces. If marrying a woman could affect the attitude of General Lu Ying, it could be considered "worth it ".
Yang Heng understood what he meant. He smiled and said,
“I didn’t know that you also liked to joke. Do you also think that someone with such an identity like Lu Ying would be ordered around by a little girl?”
His impression of Bai Fuling was really not good. She was beautiful, but she was a wild girl who was arrogant and barbaric, who did not know how to restrain herself and not follow the rules of a woman. He also did not know how the Bai family disciplined their daughter. Although he had a romantic personality, he did not want to be a private pet just because he saw beauty.
Yang Heng shook his head. His mind flashed with Bai Fuling's arrogant and complacent appearance. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. He had to admit that compared to the well-behaved ladies in the capital, the process of taming such a woman must be much more interesting.
With that thought, Yang Heng's lips slowly curved into a small arc.
……◇……◇……◇……
Bai Fuling and his group arrived in a grand manner at the head office of the "Tong Cai Yahang" under the name of the Bai Family. The members of the Shop received the news in advance that the young miss was coming to inspect the situation. They went up from the manager and down to the tea shopkeeper, all of them lined up in front of the door to welcome.
In ancient times, the so-called Yahang shop was a broker that introduced transactions, evaluated the quality of goods, and prices for both parties. It was similar to a modern trade intermediary company but was more flexible and diversified. Silk and satin jewellery, leather goods and antiques, food and livestock, and even people could sell animals.
There was an interaction between the teeth, but the Bai Fuling, Young Miss had a rather terrifying and direct explanation for the yahang shop. The so-called Yahang meant that even merchants would have to be ruthlessly bitten when they came in!
This exclusive explanation had been given to shop's supervisors and associates...
The shop was built on the most prosperous streets in Beiguan City. Not to mention how imposing shop was, just a small square that was paved with bluestone was enough to see it's position in Beiguan City. Compared to the government offices in Beiguan City, this shop was a little smaller in scale.
In front of the yahang, on the small-scale plaza, there was a three feet high flagpole with the name Tong Cai yahang on it. Lining in front was a pair of glittering giant lions with mighty claws. Compared to the government office, the front even surpassed it. Indeed, this was the biggest yahang(Shop) of the frontier.
Beiguan City was originally just a small city with troops stationed at the border. There were no officials. All of them were the generals who guarded this place, taking charge of the military, government and people's livelihood. It was only in recent years that they developed into a bustling business market. Tong Caiya's arrogance to this point was enough to show how strong the relationship between the Bai family and the local First-in-Charge Town General Lu Ying was.
Because of the arrival of the Bai Fuling, the company specially posted a notice. It wasn't due today (1-3 p.m.). The merchants who had crowded the square were all requested to leave. The small square was densely packed with people from the company.
When these people saw the young lady's carriage arrive, they all bowed. It was very lively. Unknowingly, they thought it was a royal relative who had come out to visit.
Originally, the merchants who were going to trade at Tong Cai Yahang didn't mind this small delay. Instead, they ran to a nearby restaurant to probe their brains. They wanted to see what this "powerful" Bai Family's young miss in Beiguan City was like.
Bai Shanglu personally brought Bai Fuling into the Shop Branch. After inspecting the various counters and halls, he sent them to the backyard's account room to rest. He also ordered people to take the key to the storeroom. He planned to wait for Bai Fuling to check the accounts and accompany her to the storeroom to pick out some fresh things that had arrived recently.
Bai Fuling stared at the huge stack of books in front of her. She then looked at the business-like look on her face as she began to report to Bai Shanglu. She looked around and said,
"When I see this, I have a headache. Li lac, Ma Lian, you guys go!"
The two maidservants standing behind her looked at each other and did not respond.
Bai Shanglu said with a serious expression,
"Miss!"
"I raised you all so big to help me share my worries and difficulties and become a ox and a horse when I need you to be. I didn't let you follow me so that I do work!"
Bai Fuling spoke with a straight tone. She did not care about the people that she said were "raised" by her. Actually, any one of them was a few years older than her.
The other maids at the side had long been used to their young miss' speech and behaviour. They all had taut faces and maintained the same expression.
If they dared to laugh, they would definitely be scolded by General Manager Bai. As the saying goes, if they weren't afraid of county officials, they would be afraid of taking care of them. They were all living under General Manager Bai, so they naturally couldn't tear down their superiors' station.
But if they helped General Manager Bai "convince" Miss, the outcome would be even worse. Miss's methods of tormenting others would never be repeated.
At this moment, the safest way to save oneself was to not help each other and shut your mouth tightly and pretend like they were furniture.
"I remember that young miss once said that strength does not make money."
Bai Shanglu did not give up.
"I've also said when you use people don’t suspect them and don’t use people you suspect!"
Bai Fuling said slovenly.
