I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 943 The Duan Family Flower Banquet

Baiyunxi clearly has the title of Imperial Merchant. The Duan family not only does domestic business, but also has contacts with many foreign businessmen.

Mutual trade was opened on the border of the Song Dynasty. Many foreigners entered the country and used their blankets and skins to barter with the Central Plains people. The Duan family made a name for themselves on the border with their business skills.

　Not only do you often deal with these people, you can also form a camel team and travel to foreign countries.

“This sunroom is really good. There is no need to burn charcoal. The sunlight during the day can keep the house warm.” Baiyunxi nodded and complimented in agreement.

Having the guts to show off your wealth so openly is indeed generous.

 Finding wealth and honor in danger is the situation of Xiaowu. No wonder Xiao Wu has been so busy every day since he came to Kyoto. He reckons there are a lot of people around him who are causing trouble.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Next, it really depends on Xiao Wu’s ability.

“The whole of Kyoto knows that the Duan Family Courtyard is unique, so I naturally want to come and see it. The scene of a hundred flowers blooming is really eye-catching.”

Mrs. Duan noticed the old lady’s gaze and immediately took Baiyunxi a step forward.

“That one is the prime minister’s wife, and it’s very difficult to find her on weekdays.”

Although he was born in the countryside, he seems to have a good temperament.

Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be the Mu family. No wonder he kept staring at her.

Bai Yunxi sat down next to her, Zhang Yishan and Du sat behind her, looking at the female family members coming in and out. Bai Yunxi was worried and turned to call her daughter-in-law to be careful and don't let others touch her.

At this time, an old lady sitting at the top of the greenhouse came in from Baiyun River. She stared at her from time to time, and occasionally lowered her head to talk to the people around her.

 The wife of the prime minister, the rank of the first-grade imperial wife.

Princess Hehui walked in, and everyone in the greenhouse stood up. There was no way, the princess was of the first rank, higher than the Prime Minister's wife.

Baiyunxi smiled gently. She also asked Yaya before setting off. That girl doesn't like parties and would rather practice embroidery at home than go out with her. He said that there were many people at the banquet and he had to put on airs, which made him feel exhausted.

Bai Yunxi didn't care when everyone looked at her, and kept smiling appropriately. It was her first time in a strange place and she was not familiar with everyone. Likewise, these people didn't understand her either.

The two of them walked up to Mrs. Mu. Although Mrs. Duan was the head of the family, it was obvious that she respected the Mu family.

 What that person represents is known to everyone.

“I thought the princess was busy and couldn’t spare the time to come over.”

The Baiyunxi family appeared in the Duan family and immediately became the focus of everyone. Everyone was unfamiliar with them, but they were also curious. Who made a Hanlin bachelor suddenly appear in the Bai family?

"That's a pity. I thought I could see that clever little girl." Princess Hehui's tone was full of regret. Little girls with innocent personalities and flexible brains are rare.

However, this also shows that the officials are dissatisfied with the Mu family and want to use Xiaowu to replace the talents recommended by Prime Minister Mu.

Hearing that the princess was so knowledgeable and reasonable, everyone couldn't help but praise her again. Baiyunxi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Yaya didn't want to go out with her, there really was nothing to do, and there was a lot of flattery everywhere.

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu’s smile became more sincere.

“I’m old, and I’m very afraid of the cold, so I don’t want to move. I know that there is a greenhouse in your courtyard and the scenery of hundreds of flowers blooming, so I wanted to come and join in the fun.”

Mrs. Mu looked at her for a moment and waved her hand gently.

As he was talking, Mu Zhuolan led several girls over, laughing and joking.

  Two a zero two: eight one zero six: two b: nine two zero zero: f eight eight three: f three c four: two nine seven three: one zero a zero

Listening to Mrs. Mu's inner voice, Bai Yunxi almost trembled at the corners of her mouth. The official took such a direct liking to a minister, but he was still a helpless and humble family, so he was roasting it on the fire.

“Back to the princess, my granddaughter is practicing at home.”

 She just came here today to get acquainted with each other, and when she gets older, she won't go out.

While they were talking, there was another commotion at the door, and Mrs. Duan walked in to welcome Princess Hehui.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Princess Hehui waved her hands directly and said, "No ceremony is required. Today is Madam Duan's home court. I am only here to join in the fun and take a look at the flowers grown in her greenhouse. No need to be formal, just feel free to do it."

 He is another person who has benefited from his son's success and has become very successful.

With such an enemy, Xiao Wu could only hug the big tree of Guanjia tightly, willingly using it as a sword in his hand to stab wherever he pointed.

Her husband mentioned Bai Hanlin more than once these days, saying that the officials valued him very much. The master is getting older, and the age of retirement is getting closer and closer. Several promising disciples were recommended to the official family, but they did not arouse much interest from the official family.

The eyes collided inadvertently, and both parties would smile politely to resolve the embarrassment.

"This is Bai Hanlin's mother. She has just arrived in Beijing not long ago. Mrs. Mu doesn't go out much on weekdays. She is willing to condescend to her today. It really adds a lot of honor to my banquet."

 It's right to think about it. People who are recommended by the Mu family naturally have their hearts towards the Mu family. A dignified king naturally wants to find a pillar who will serve the court wholeheartedly.

Baiyunxi took his daughter-in-law and Mrs. Du to salute her.

 “Mrs. Mu is blessed with good fortune and good health.”

The master was very worried about this and could not sleep at night, for fear that something might happen. As they get older and sleep less, they inevitably chatter more.

 “No courtesy, Bai Shu people don’t have to be polite when going out to be guests.”

“If the princess doesn’t mind, you can come and play at home.”

 After everyone sat down, Princess Hehui’s eyes lit up when she saw Baiyun River.

"Bai Shuren, why don't you see Miss Bai?"

“Don’t worry, mother, I’m protected by ginkgo and lotus hearts, so I won’t go to crowded places.”

Mu Zhuolan looked at Baiyun River and felt slightly blessed.

Before Princess Hehui could speak, she heard a gentle laugh from the door.

"The princess arrived a little late. We all walked around in a circle. The banquet will start soon. You have to punish yourself with a drink."

The official family hired a poor family, and suddenly got Xiao Wu to the position of Hanlin bachelor. Maybe there was a lot of thought behind it. Now, it depends on Xiao Wu's ability. If he can withstand the overt and covert attacks, the future is bright. Otherwise, they will be torn apart to the point where not even a bone is left.

At this time, it was a matter of pride for a girl's family to have a good daughter, so she naturally had to put gold on her eldest granddaughter's face.

Mrs. Duan has a smile on her face, and she looks like a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing. When such people hold banquets, they usually won't be left in the cold.

“Oh, even though it’s thanks to the blessing of these flowers and plants, I’m really happy.”

"I saw the princess talking to someone from afar. It turned out to be from Bai Shu. The princess really likes your granddaughter. She has mentioned it to me several times."

“My girl is young and has come to Kyoto for the first time. She is very curious about the people and things in Kyoto. When she went back to the poetry festival last time, she said that the princess was good and treated her kindly. I look forward to meeting her next time.”
