Chapter 250 The decree arrives
There were quite a few shops at home, and it didn't make much sense to assign someone to take care of them in the town. So Bai Ling and his family worked together to let the Liu family make a living, which also saved them from always feeling that they were taking advantage of themselves, secretly.
I don’t know how many times I sighed.
When the county magistrate arrives, the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially begins.
Standing next to his family, looking at his father's reserved but happy expression, the smile on Bai Ling's lips became even stronger.
Cutting the ribbon with the county magistrate is something my father has never dared to think about in his life.
Due to the relationship with the county magistrate and the previous charitable deeds of the Bai family, many wealthy families came to congratulate the opening.
Moreover, most of the host family came to congratulate them in person. The Bai family was very gentle in accepting gifts and recorded them in detail in the book, so that gifts would be reciprocated in the future.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, left early and arranged for someone to go to Hongming Restaurant to say hello. The banquet had to be set up with a few more tables, especially the private rooms, otherwise the people in the expensive circle would not be able to sit down, and the folks who came to congratulate them would not be able to sit down.
They didn't dare to let go and eat.
"Second girl, why are you still busy here? Go to the restaurant quickly, I can't handle those ladies and ladies." Mrs. Bai Liu had just sent away a group of customers when she saw Bai Ling was still busy in the shop.
, said hurriedly.
Bai Ling was helpless. His mother would rather be tired than go out to socialize. She had to continue to train her.
"I think the store has almost sold out. Why don't you go with me first? Today is an auspicious day for our family. My mother is the head lady. If my mother doesn't go and take charge, the guests will think that we are neglecting us." Bai Lingwan
Hold Bai Liu's arm and lead people outside.
Before Mrs. Bai Liu could find a reason to refuse, Old Mrs. Liu said with finality:
"You sisters are all going to the restaurant. There are so many wealthy ladies, so you have to be accompanied by someone, but you can't let others talk about it. Besides, the Bai family is now a big family. In the future, you will inevitably attend banquets and so on. Everything must be done.
It's a process of adapting, isn't it? There are a few of us mothers here and the guys are here, so nothing can go wrong."
The two sisters-in-law of the Liu family also said this, and pushed a few girls out, making Bai Ling cover her mouth and laugh.
"Grandma, eldest aunt, and second aunt, we are almost busy here, so you should close the shop first and go to the restaurant with the waiter. There are quite a few folks coming here today, and we have to rely on your help to entertain them.
Come on, otherwise there will be people in the village gossiping."
Bai Ling greeted before leaving.
In fact, the goods in the shop are almost sold out. There are not many goods on display, and the county magistrate takes the lead in supporting it. How can the wealthy squires not give face?
Over at the restaurant, the shopkeeper is also a smart man, so he did not open the door to welcome guests today, and he also prepared enough ingredients, so there was no problem.
The whole family was busy entertaining upstairs and downstairs. It took them several hours to send all the guests away. Both the Bailiu and Bai family were exhausted, but everyone had a smile on their face.
No matter how much income the family has, it is their first time to open a shop. This feeling makes them excited.
"Second sister, do the profits from this shop really belong to me?" When the family returned to the house, Bai Wei still couldn't believe it was true. She had her own shop.
"Isn't the Qizi at your place?"
Bai Ling was so shaken that she felt dizzy. She pulled out her poisoned arm and hid beside Bai Liu. "The shop is yours, and the profits are also yours. But you still have to pay the cost. You can't let your family buy the goods for you.
That’s unreasonable.”
"No problem!" Bai Wei responded immediately, but pinched her little fingers and said: "They are all from our own family, so the purchase price can be cheaper than outsiders, right?"
The whole family is holding their heads together, Bai Wei is obsessed with money, and there is no way she can get rid of this temper.
"Bai Wei, is it really easy for you to kill me like this?"
Bai Ling angrily wanted to kick someone, but finally held back because she really didn't have the energy to do so.
"Don't ask me about this matter, discuss it with your family yourself. After a long day, parents should go to bed early. The things here are all gifts received by the third sister, so let her collect them by herself. Anyway, she will have to go to bed in the future.
Return the favor yourself."
"Isn't it? Second sister, can you bear it? We are twins!" Bai Wei looked at the gifts in the lobby and suddenly felt a headache.
Although these things are valuable, it takes a while to sort and place them, not counting them in the warehouse.
"Haha." Bai Ling laughed strangely, supported Bai Liu and stood up, too lazy to talk to Bai Wei.
After only staying in the county for two days, the family parted ways.
Although the shop belongs to Bai Wei, Bai Sanshu still needs to take more care of her in the future, lest Bai Wei loses her composure when something happens and a big girl's family suffers.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, wants to move to Fucheng. Several shops there are still doing the final work, and Bai Xiaoshan has already gone to school to study. Bai Ling is not worried about him being alone in Fucheng.
But what Bai Ling didn't know was that while she was busy in Fucheng, a big event happened at home that made the whole family excited and unable to sleep for several days.
The winter wheat planting was successful, and when the county magistrate reported it, he actually wrote the Bai family's name.
Because of the resettlement of the victims and the elimination of gangsters, the Bai family's glory cannot be concealed. In addition, the county magistrate expresses his gratitude. When submitting the memorial, he specifically mentioned the Bai family and wanted to fight for the Bai family.
An amulet.
The county magistrate is not invincible, but the roots of the Bai family are here. In the future, new county magistrates will also have to worry about the royal family's favor to the Bai family, as well as the reputation of the Bai family among the people.
People's hearts are sometimes more oppressive than power.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that although Bai Sanshu of Nanshan Village is a farmer, he is honest and simple, and has a good way of educating his children. He was granted the title of Eighth Grade Yuan Wailang. The second daughter, Bai Ling, a doctor with a benevolent heart, beautiful appearance and wisdom, is specially given to the Lord of Jixiang County... to give gold.
One hundred taels, one hundred bolts of brocade, fertile farmland... and a special plaque for those who have done good deeds!"
The eunuch who came to announce the decree recited a long sequence, which even those who had not studied in school could not understand, but they knew that the Bai family had received a reward from the heavenly family.
Especially Bai Sanshu and his daughter, they will no longer be ordinary mud-legged people. The third branch of the Bai family has suddenly become an official family.
The Bai family were all shocked, and even the decree to express gratitude was only made at the prompting of the county magistrate.
Rewards for those who announce the decree are also arranged by the steward after he has calmed down.
"Bai Yuanwailang, congratulations." Mr. Ouyang said with cupped hands.
Looking at the ignorant expressions of the Bai family, Mr. Ouyang did not despise or ridicule them, which only proved that they were really not prepared to be rewarded.
"Same joy." Bai Sanshu still couldn't completely come to his senses and asked blankly: "Sir, am I now an official? Didn't you dream?"
"Brother Bai, it's better to enshrine the imperial edict quickly and prepare to hold a banquet to celebrate. I still have official duties to attend to, so we'll see you in the city." Mr. Ouyang said with a smile and patted Bai Sanshu on the shoulder.
This time when it comes to rewards based on merit, no one can surpass Master Ouyang. After being suppressed for decades, he finally reached the position of prefect.
Although the emperor wanted to promote him, how could the master's family have allowed him to be promoted so quickly without the memorial from the Han Palace?
Thinking of the possibility of being planned to be a member of the Han Palace faction in the future, Mr. Ouyang didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
After inviting the group of people who delivered the message back to the county office, Mr. Ouyang opened the car window and looked at the warm crowd at the door of Bai's house. These sincere congratulations were something he would never see in his environment.
Who said rural families are not good?
