After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 185 Moving
As Bai Qingyun was busy every day, the Bai family's new house gradually began to add a lot of furniture.
Almost as many woodworking robots as were produced every day were added to the house.
Everyone in Dayang Village only knew that the Bai family's carriages had been going in and out in the past few days, and that they were close to moving into their new home.
It was not until Grandma Bai brought Mother Bai back from Lingshan Temple that the date for the Bai family's move was officially set.
Early in the morning, people from Dayang Village gathered in front of the Bai family's house to watch.
Even Carpenter Yang, who was busy in the shop, came back early in the morning with Madam Su and Kuai Jiao.
What surprised Bai Qingyun even more was that the five people who were recuperating in the Qin family dyeing workshop all came back with him.
With the help of Bai Qingyun's medicine, the skin wounds on their bodies have healed, and their faces, which originally looked lifeless, now finally have some energy and spirit.
Logically speaking, as the Bai family is moving, the servants of the Bai family should come along.
But Bai Qingyun didn't know whether they had internal injuries, so he wanted to let them recuperate for a while.
Now, it looks pretty good.
"Meet the old master, the old lady, the master, the lady; meet the eldest son, the second son, the third son, and the eldest daughter~"
Except Bai Liu, everyone else was meeting the Bai family for the first time. Led by Bai Su, they greeted each other one by one.
The people from Dayang Village who were watching were also stunned by this scene. They thought that the family of an honest hunter had become a little richer just by chance.
I can afford to support three children at home, build a big yard, and have enough spare money to hire someone to work...
Now, he can even afford to hire servants to serve him!
But think about it, if a family owns a hundred acres of fertile land, how can it be impossible for it not to buy someone?
"Okay, okay, you're here just in time. We can move together!"
Although Bai Qingyun was not very clear about what happened to these people, it was a fact that they were seriously injured.
Bai Qingyun didn't even need to say anything, Bai's father had already said everything that needed to be said.
According to the customs of Dayang Village, when moving into a house, one needs to place the household gods and furniture first.
Also because of the size of the Bai family's house, the furniture has almost been placed in place, and only the house god needs to be placed.
The rest of the people held a mascot in their hands.
The first thing to be moved in was a pot of lucky grass and evergreen, symbolizing good luck in everything.
Then come the descendants' bucket, red seal, etc., and even a handful of soil from the old house.
After waiting for everyone from the Bai family to go in, Butler Xie lit the firecrackers in front of the gate.
Bai Yi and the other five people scattered copper coins everywhere in the new house, symbolizing that wealth and good luck would spread to every corner of the house.
What followed was the Bai family’s housewarming party.
The Bai family's large kitchen was no longer as crowded as the makeshift thatched hut stove. It was spacious and fully equipped with kitchen utensils and could accommodate most of the women in Dayang Village.
Perhaps it’s because such scenes have happened many times, so even though there are more people, everyone’s coordination has become more skilled.
The dishes at the banquet were much more sumptuous than in the past. Grandma Bai, Mother Bai and Xie Shuer were in charge of cooking in the kitchen.
Grandpa Bai and Father Bai were in the front yard with the men from Dayang Village and were also busy.
Almost all the tables and chairs from the east house and the bowls and chopsticks from the west house were taken over, and a group of people came in and out to move the tables and set up the arrangements.
In a short while, the originally spacious room inside and outside was filled with round tables.
I thought it was just a celebration within Dayang Village, but I didn't expect that there would be guests visiting.
Two low-key and luxurious carriages were parked outside the front door of the Bai family's house. It was not until Butler Xie came to inform everyone who was busy in the house that they knew about it.
"Hahaha, long time no see everyone! How can I be absent on such an important day... me!"
The curtain of the carriage in front was rolled up by the old coachman.
Wen Zhao was wearing casual clothes, like a man out for sightseeing. He leisurely got off the carriage and greeted the Bai family.
"Uncle Bai, Brother Bai, congratulations on your new home!"
Not only the Bai family, but everyone in Dayang Village knew the person in front of them.
If the common people did not know when they met the governor of a state, it would be fine, but if they knew, they would inevitably kneel down to pay homage.
Wen Zhao raised the folding fan in his hand and said, "I am just here to drink wine today, please don't be polite!"
One sentence stopped the person who wanted to kneel down.
Father Bai also stepped forward and said, "Thank you for coming!"
As he said this, he was about to welcome the person inside, but Wen Zhao stopped where he was and looked back.
At this time, everyone realized that the carriage behind might also be carrying a distinguished guest.
But when they saw clearly who was in the car, the joy on Bai Jia's face froze, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
It was Grandma Bai and Mother Bai who were busy in the kitchen who broke the stagnant atmosphere.
Bai Er was a smart man. When he heard that the carriage in front was occupied by Lord Wen Zhaowen, the prefect of Jiangzhou, he thought that the carriage behind would be occupied by Lord Wen's family.
If it was just Lord Wen and one other man, Father Bai and Grandpa Bai would just have to receive them. But if female relatives came, it would not be the right way to entertain guests if the female relatives of the Bai family were not present.
So there was the scene just now.
Jiang An knew that his arrival today would make the Bai family unhappy, but he couldn't help it in the end.
In order to have a smooth visit today, he even made a lot of preparations.
Not to mention the carriage full of gifts, in order to prevent him from being kicked out, he also specially invited Wen Zhao to come.
Otherwise, Wen Zhao would never personally attend a housewarming party at a commoner's home.
At least before Wei Xi ascended to that position, Wen Zhao did not dare to get too close to the Bai family.
At most, they would send someone to deliver gifts to express their congratulations.
Logically speaking, Wen Zhao is the prefect of a state and holds an official rank of fourth grade, while Jiang An is just a commoner now. Even his former position as Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple was only a fifth-grade official position.
In terms of official rank, Wen Zhao was higher than Jiang An, but he was a Beijing official.
The value of officials in the capital does not lie in their rank, but in the fact that there is no shortage of officials in the capital, and connections are everywhere.
Even if he is a city gate officer in Kyoto City, the power behind him may even be a family of officials and nobles.
Although Jiang'an is an idle place, the Honglu Temple is always present in important ceremonial activities of the imperial court.
His personal network might directly connect him to high-ranking officials in the capital, or even the emperor.
What's more, behind him, there is an old family like the Jiang family.
Wen Zhao, a fourth-rank official far away from the capital and without a large family to support him, could become a local emperor in Jiangzhou.
Now in front of Wen Zhao, he seemed to be naturally shorter.
Jiang An didn't even need to introduce his relationship with the Bai family to Wen Zhao. He just needed to say that he wanted to accompany him to see the scenery and have a banquet along the way, and Wen Zhao would agree.
After all, just by coming to the banquet in person, one can establish a connection with the Jiang family.
Everyone knows how to choose!
I just don’t know if Wen Zhao would regret his actions today if he knew Jiang An’s status in the Jiang family.
As a result, the originally enthusiastic Bai family members suddenly turned cold, and Wen Zhao himself was confused about the situation.
