No matter how close we are, she is still a guest. They are busy hosting a banquet, and they have to take time to take care of them. It is unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
Bai Yunxi looked at the little girl's troubled expression and chuckled,
"Actually, I quite like staying in the inn. I am usually busy at home and rarely go out to the county. I took this opportunity to take a walk around the county."
"Living at home doesn't prevent Aunt Bai from going out for shopping. I will accompany you then, and you can go wherever you want."
Listening to the little girl's tone, Bai Yunxi looked at her with a smile.
"When there is a banquet at home, your mother will definitely be too busy by herself. You have to be by her side to help. Aunt Bai has Wenyou beside her, and you are the only daughter beside your mother. If you are not here, who will help her?"
Hearing Baiyunxi's reminder, the little girl immediately felt embarrassed.
"But mother said we must invite Aunt Bai home."
"Xinyi, Aunt Bai has received it. Since it is about Xiao Wu's apprenticeship banquet, I will ask him to come over to help tomorrow morning. I will just ask him to come and pick us up the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Wu listened to his mother's arrangement and nodded in agreement.
"Senior sister, just do as my mother said. I will take you back now, and I will go to the house to help you tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yishan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"I came by carriage, so I can just go back. Junior Brother, you should stay at the inn with Aunt Bai."
"It's not far away. I'll take you back. I won't waste any time."
Xiaowu saw him off, but Baiyunxi didn't go downstairs. He stood by the window and watched the two people leave in a carriage. Then he asked Wenyou to sit down and rest.
In a blink of an eye, the apprenticeship banquet arrived.
Baiyunxi got up early in the morning, washed up, and put on a purple dress. With Wenyou's help, she put on a flat bun and inserted two new old silver hairpins.
A little powder was applied, and the eyebrow shape and lip color were simply modified, giving people a dignified and steady feeling.
Wenyou also changed into green clothes, with a newly bought orchid hairpin in her hair. Although the green color is slightly softer than duck egg blue, coupled with Wenyou's cold expression, she still looks cold and indifferent.
.
As soon as they finished cleaning up, Xiaowu came over, also dressed in new clothes. Looking at Mother and Wenyou's outfits, he was stunned and bowed slightly.
"Mom, the ox cart is ready and ready to go."
"Okay, bring your gifts and let's set off."
Bai Yunxi pointed to the gifts on the table and motioned for Xiao Wu to take them.
He took Wenyou's hand and the two of them went downstairs together. The oxcart swayed and arrived at the gate of Zhang's house in a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the silk hanging on the door of the Zhang family, Bai Yunxi's lips twitched, and she thought that the Zhang family was having a wedding celebration.
As soon as the bullock cart stopped, I heard footsteps in the yard, and the Zhang family of three appeared at the door with smiles on their faces.
Bai Yunxi supported Wenyou's arm and got out of the oxcart, and chuckled, "Today, we are the first ones here, right?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yiren stepped forward and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, you are the first one. I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, but you refused and insisted on staying at the inn.
Listening to Zhang Yiren's tone, Bai Yunxi smiled gently,
"The main reason is that I'm in a hurry and I'm afraid you won't be able to make it. Sister Yiren has been working hard for Xiaowu's apprenticeship banquet for several days, and I feel bad about it. I want to help, but I don't understand the rules in the county, so I just
I won't cause trouble to you even if I'm lazy in the inn."
After listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, Zhang Yiren glared at her.
"Okay, you are right. I can't argue with you. Hurry up and follow me in. Let's have a good chat. The guests will arrive soon."
As soon as Bai Yunxi said hello to the dean, she was pulled into the courtyard by Zhang Yiren.
Xiaowu and Wenyou followed behind with gifts in their hands, and the group entered the yard in a mighty manner.
Zhang's house is a courtyard with two entrances. Zhang Yiren took Bai Yunxi and said a few words in the front yard and living room, and then took him to the second entrance courtyard.
There is a small garden in the second courtyard, planted with various flowers, suitable for entertaining female guests.
Bai Yunxi looked at her courtyard and couldn't help but admire, "Your yard is really unique and tasteful compared to ours in the countryside."
"Pfft, don't praise me. How can my small place compare to your courtyard house?"
Zhang Yiren took her around the garden and gave her an overview of the apprenticeship banquet.
"After my father founded Qingyu College, he was quite famous in the county. Today, there are many people coming to the apprenticeship banquet. At that time, Xiao Wu will help to entertain the guests in the front hall. He can be considered a familiar face. From now on, he will
It’s more convenient to walk around the county town.”
Listening to Zhang Yiren's narration, Bai Yunxi blessed her with gratitude.
"The dean will never be able to repay Xiao Wu for his kindness in knowing me and finding him. I just ask him to make more achievements and give more face to the dean."
After seeing Bai Yunxi's attitude, the smile on Zhang Yiren's face became even brighter.
"Oh, there is no need to be polite in our relationship from now on. As soon as Xiaowu calls me Master, I will treat him as my son. Yunxi just don't worry."
While we were talking, the woman at the door came in to report that a guest had arrived.
Zhang Yiren patted Bai Yunxi's hand and said, "You go first into the hall and sit down to have a rest and drink tea. I'll go and greet you."
"You are the master today, so just go about your business. I will do whatever you want with me today."
Bai Yunxi urged and watched her lead the girl and mother-in-law through the Moon Gate. Just as she was about to take Wenyou into the living room to rest, she heard Zhang Yishan's voice behind her.
"Aunt Bai, I'll drink tea and talk with you."
Looking at the little girl today, she is wearing a pink and purple dress, with hairpins and earrings of the same color in her bun.
It sets off the whole person's pink and white complexion, making her pretty and charming.
"Yishan looks really good today, pink and vibrant. There are so many customers today, and your mother may not be able to handle them all by herself. You go and help. I don't need to deliberately entertain you here."
"What did Aunt Bai say? You are the most important guest today, and I will talk to you today." Zhang Yishan took Bai Yunxi's arm and accompanied her into the living room with a smile.
After a while, Zhang Yiren walked in accompanied by an older woman. After a few words of greeting, Zhang Yiren introduced Bai Yunxi to Bai Yunxi.
"This is the eldest lady of Master Liu's family in the college. This time we go to Fucheng, Master Liu is leading the team."
After listening to Zhang Yiren's introduction, Bai Yunxi greeted her with a smile.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Liu. It's such an honor to meet her today."
"So you are Xiu Caigong's mother. You must be a great person to have raised such an outstanding son."
Mrs. Liu looked at Bai Yunxi, looked at her dignified and steady demeanor, and nodded secretly in her heart. She was worthy of being a lady, and indeed she had magnanimity.
It’s those bumpy fates that make people regretful.
Listening to Lady Liu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi smiled slightly.
"I am just a country woman and I don't deserve your praise,"
