Chapter 323 I Buy a Chicken

"What do you mean I sneaked out again? I only came out two or three times. And both times were to see you. And one time I just met you by chance." Bai Yunhe shouted, answering a question irrelevantly.

Qingying served tea and snacks. Hualei raised her hand as a gesture to invite him to drink tea, then she picked up the cup and started drinking. She thought it would be better for her to wait for Bai Yunhe to explain his purpose himself.

Bai Yunhe lifted his skirt, sat down opposite Hua Lei, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and praised, "Miss Hua's tea is really delicious." After saying that, he took another sip before putting the teacup down. His movements were casual and natural, and his elegance was evident.

But Qingying, who was standing at the door, complained in her heart, I guess if I give you a glass of boiled water, you would say it tastes good.

Hua Lei smiled slightly but didn't say anything. She was afraid that if she did, Bai Yunhe, who was acting like a madman, would say something irrelevant again.

As expected, Bai Yunhe did not disappoint Hua Lei as soon as he opened his mouth. "Miss Hua, I came here today to ask you to buy a chicken." Bai Yunhe spoke slowly.

"Buy chickens? Don't you have a lot of chickens on your farm? Why do you need to buy some?" Hua Lei asked curiously. She remembered that the farm in the watery land of Dingbei Marquis's mansion had chickens, ducks and geese.

"Well, the chickens on my farm are not as good as those raised by Miss Hua, and the chickens I want are not available on my farm." Bai Yunhe picked up the teacup again and said with a smile on his face.

"What chicken? If you want to buy a chicken, you should go to Yuanying Manor. There are many chickens there. You can pick one." Hua Lei was a little confused.

He skipped class and ran to Huayingzhuang, telling me he wanted to buy a chicken. Really! I'm not selling golden chickens.

"I want to ask Miss Hua to buy a chicken that lays eggs. A chicken that lays golden eggs."

Bai Yunhe put down the teacup in his hand, leaned over and asked, "Miss Hua, you're not hiding it and not selling it, right?"

Hualei couldn't help but shrink back slightly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, if I really had a chicken that laid golden eggs, do you think I would be stupid if I didn't hide it and sold it to you?"

"Well, Miss Hua is right." Bai Yunhe also smiled, "Then let me put it another way, um..."

"Just say it." Hua Lei spoke directly. She didn't want to beat around the bush with him here. This guy could find countless things to talk to you about even if he had nothing to say.

"Miss Hua is straightforward, so I'll be frank. I heard from Yunhai that you think you don't have enough arms and can't even get enough money. Is that true?

If it's true? I can hug you, I have long arms and legs. I can hug more and faster. "Bai Yunhe put down the teacup in his hand and gestured with his arms.

After talking for a long time, he still didn't understand. Hualei said disdainfully, "Mr. Bai, I think you should bring Yunhai here to talk to me. He may be able to explain it more clearly than you."

"Miss Hua, I'm just trying to find ways to talk to you, but you really don't understand romance." Bai Yunhe shouted. Looking at Hua Lei's serious expression, Bai Yunhe sighed, and finally straightened his expression and said.

"Actually, it's like this. Miss Hua made a soft and comfortable sweater some time ago. Do you want to stock up more next year and make it earlier, but you don't have enough money and manpower? How about I take part in it? Let's cooperate?"

Hua Lei was stunned, looked at Bai Yunhe, and asked, "How do you know this? Oh, when Zhou Ziren saw Xiaoyuan's sweater, did Yunhai also see it?"

Hualei turned around, but then thought, this is not right, a few children may see it, but how could Bai Yunhe know that I should stock up more goods next year and make sweaters earlier?

Did Xiaoyuan reveal it? Did he do it on purpose or accidentally? Why did he do this? When he was chatting with me earlier, he suggested that I find more companies to cooperate with? Did he not want me to cooperate with Zhenbei Marquis Mansion alone?

Hua Lei's mind was in turmoil. She looked at Bai Yunhe and asked in confusion, "You said that the Dingxi Marquisate wants to cooperate with me? What does old Marquis Bai mean?"

"So this is true? Miss Hua, you have the skills to make sweaters, but you may not be able to do it alone, so we can work together.

I can provide more capital, and I have manpower. Also, it is not us, the Dingxi Marquisate, who are cooperating with you, but me. If you don't trust me, I can ask my grandfather to come forward. "Bai Yunhe explained.

Hua Lei was a little confused, and looked at Bai Yunhe and said, "Why, aren't you from Dingxi Marquis' Mansion? What do you mean by not cooperating with Dingxi Marquis' Mansion, but you and I? Is there any difference?"

"Uh..." Bai Yunhe paused for a moment. He remembered what his grandfather said to him in the study that day.

Within the Marquis's Mansion, when resources are insufficient, there will be a problem of uneven distribution of resources among brothers, and it will be easy for dirty things to happen, and it will be even more serious between sisters-in-law.

He had never thought about these things before, but after talking with his grandfather, he thought about it carefully and realized that such a situation was indeed possible.

Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule within many aristocratic families that the eldest son inherits the title and 70% of all the family property.

The remaining legitimate sons will share the remaining 20% ​​equally, and the remaining 10% will be shared equally among all the illegitimate sons. If there are more legitimate sons than illegitimate sons in a family, a legitimate son who is not the eldest legitimate son may not get as much as an illegitimate son.

Dingxi Marquisate has not yet been divided. My grandfather had three legitimate sons and four illegitimate sons. My father can indeed get 70% of Dingxi Marquisate.

But my father has four legitimate sons and two illegitimate sons, and I am not the eldest legitimate son. So if you calculate it this way, I can't even get 10% of what my father gets, and it's not much different from what my two illegitimate brothers get.

Even if the Dingxi Marquisate was wealthy and powerful, there would not be much left for me. In addition, my grandfather said that my two sisters-in-law were both smart and capable, so I really had to plan for myself, otherwise I would not have enough money to marry Miss Hua.

In fact, before coming here, he had already gone to see his grandfather. Although his grandfather would find fault with him from time to time, he knew that his grandfather truly loved him.

In his father's eyes, the one he valued most was his eldest brother as the eldest son, while his mother loved Yunhai, the youngest son, more.

I am the one who is left in the air, which is more miserable. Although I am not to the point where my father and mother do not love me, but the attention I get from him and the future property are always a little less. So I still have to think of a way.
