Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 235 New Year

Wei Zhong came over and said that someone from Bai's Trading Company had come to pick up some red wine.

Sheng Zexi hurried out to look, but after looking around, he didn't see Nanchun and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Why didn't Boss Nan come?"

Xu Shuisheng smiled and said, "The business has been very busy lately, and the Second Young Madam is not available. She sent me a message to thank Master Sheng for his generous help."

Only then did Sheng Zexi smile.

"Why are you being so polite? The Sheng and Bai families are partners, so we should help where we can."

After Xu Shuisheng and the others left, Lei Zi ran over hurriedly.

"Master, not only did the Second Master send people to investigate us, he even brazenly went to Zhuang Lao San's pawnshop to confront us."

Sheng Zexi's face didn't look very good.

His second uncle is not completely stupid.

He is not stupid when he should be stupid, but he is very stupid when he should not be stupid.

"Withdraw everyone back. Second Uncle knows it's us. Don't cause trouble during the New Year." Sheng Zexi said.

"Then we..."

"Send people to the provincial capital and make sure to find Wei Chengzhou." Sheng Zexi said.

"Yes."

As soon as Sheng Zexi's men withdrew, Sheng Yuquan received the news.

He was in a good mood at the moment, and his mood became even better after hearing the news.

A batch of soil was delivered from Yuncheng this morning, and it is of extremely high quality.

Looking at these things, he seemed to see countless mountains of gold and silver.

"Second Master, are we still looking for You Qi?" asked Butler Fu.

In the past, whenever Sheng Yuquan wanted to get rid of something dirty or do something dishonorable, he would look for You Qi.

This person is well-connected in the underworld, well-informed and resourceful.

Sheng Yuquan thought for a moment and said, "I heard he also has his own way of getting opium, but most of it is domestically produced, not foreign goods."

Butler Fu understood and said, "Then we can't look for him. If he gets his eyes on our supply, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, so we have to find a suitable person to represent us." Sheng Yuquan said.

Butler Fu thought for a moment and said, "Second Master, can't we follow the example of Qunfang Tower?"

"Imitate Qunfang Tower?"

"Well, the Sheng family has a storefront on Dafu Road, which was originally rented by a tea merchant. The business has been prosperous, but his old mother was seriously ill, so he wanted to return to his hometown to fulfill his filial duty. The lease expired last month, and he did not renew it. If we open a teahouse there, like the Qunfangyuan, we can set up some hidden private rooms on the second floor." Butler Fu said.

"Isn't this telling everyone clearly that this opium business belongs to the Sheng family?" Sheng Yuquan frowned.

Butler Fu smiled and said, "We just rented out the place. As for what the tenant does, we have no control over it."

"Do you already have a candidate?" Sheng Yuquan asked.

"To be honest, isn't my hometown in Jiangcheng? My relatives and friends all grow tea. My cousin used to run a teahouse in Jiangcheng. He wrote to me a few days ago saying that he wanted to come to Yangcheng to make a living. This distant cousin of mine is smart, knows how to handle things, and is absolutely reliable." Manager Fu said.

Sheng Yuquan thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell others that you two are distant cousins. Just say you are old friends from Jiangcheng."

When Manager Fu heard this, he knew Sheng Yuquan had agreed, and he said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I will explain it to him."

Strings of bright red lanterns on the street sway gently in the cold wind, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

The couplets for Baiyuan and Shanghang were both written by Bai Xun, using red paper and black ink with vigorous brushstrokes.

The window grilles on the door lintels and windows were cut by Nanchun and Afu. They are of various shapes and lifelike, adding a festive touch to the festival.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Bai Xun took Nanchun to the yard to set off fireworks.

Accompanied by the sound of "bang bang bang", colorful fireworks bloomed, lighting up the entire night sky and illuminating Nanchun's eyes.

"Are you happy?" Bai Xun said softly.

Nanchun was slightly startled.

I tried my best to remain normal, but Bai Xun still saw through it.

"I... miss grandpa and mom a little." Nanchun's nose felt sore.

This was the first time he left Baijiazhai and spent the New Year alone in another place.

Bai Xun gave him a hug, and Nanchun buried her face in his arms and shed tears.

Bai Xun also felt very uncomfortable.

Mr. Nan's whereabouts are unknown, and he is likely buried in the tomb.

He didn't dare tell Nanchun, for fear that he wouldn't be able to accept it, and even more afraid that he would disregard his own safety and risk his life to go to Xinchuanling to look for someone.

My brother mentioned that my grandfather suspected that Mr. Nan might betray the Bai family. He was not missing, but deliberately concealed his whereabouts.

Bai Xun even hoped that this was the case.

Although he betrayed the Bai family, at least Grandpa Nan is not dead and is still alive and well.

Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face Nan Chun.

"Everything will be fine in the new year." Bai Xun said softly.

The old house of the Bai family.

This year is the quietest year in the old house.

Bai Song went to Yuncheng and Bai Xun went to Yangcheng.

Xu Huiling and Wu Yiren...

The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea. Mrs. Bai took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.

"Now... this place doesn't feel like home anymore, and the New Year is boring. Yangcheng isn't too far away from here, so why can't I come back?"

Bai Yishui's face didn't look very good either.

Not to mention Bai Song, who was always away from home, and it was common for him to not have time to return to the old house for the New Year. But Bai Xun had never been like that.

Just because Nanchun was in Yangcheng, he stayed there and never came back.

Could it be that Nanchun’s status in his heart is higher than that of his grandparents and the Bai family?

Seeing this, Han Bailing hurriedly said, "Grandfather and grandmother, the Second Young Master's cooperation with the Fourth Master and the First Master of the Sheng Family to build a power plant, and the Second Young Mistress's cooperation with the Minghua Cosmetics Factory and the First Young Master of the Sheng Family, have all been reported in the newspapers.

This cooperation has just started, and the business has just started to pick up. The eldest young master has gone to Yuncheng. If the second young master and the second young mistress are not here, what should we do if something happens? "

Mrs. Bai's face was solemn. "I think these are just excuses! It must be that ignorant Nanchun who is interfering and preventing Xun'er from coming back."

Han Bailing said, "How is that possible? Speaking of homesickness, the Second Young Madam loves it more than the Second Young Master. The three members of the Nan family are in three different places. Wouldn't it be even more miserable for his mother to spend the New Year alone? If she could come back, the Second Young Madam would definitely come back.

It's not easy to make money in this world. The eldest young master, the second young master, and the second young mistress are all too busy to go home. We should feel sorry for them, not blame them! "

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Yishui and laughed: "Look, what Bai Ling said makes it seem like we two old people are ignorant and don't know how to be considerate of children."

Han Bailing waved her hands and said, "Oh, Grandma, that's not what I meant."

"Bai Ling is right. Okay, it's New Year's Day, let's all be happy. Come on, let's raise our glasses." Bai Yishui said.

"Happy New Year!" Han Bailing said with a smile.
