Watching their carriage go away, Bai Yunxi patted the wrinkles on her clothes and walked away with Wenyou. She had to go back to the inn to rest and relax.
Although she didn't do anything from beginning to end, her body was already wet with sweat in this hot weather, and she felt uncomfortable without washing.
In the county town in the afternoon, although the sun is not so fierce, the weather is still hot and dry, and there is not even a breeze.
Even the pedestrians walking on the street looked listless and lacked energy.
All the way back to the inn, Wenyou asked the waiter for hot water. They both washed up and put on dry cotton clothes again before lying comfortably on the bed with their eyes closed to relax.
"Wenyou, have you heard that the Zhang family is interested in our Xiaowu?"
Wenyou paused while arranging her hair and nodded, "Fifth brother is a good young man. The Zhang family will not be at a loss in choosing him."
Only outstanding people are eligible to be selected.
Listening to the gentle tone, Baiyun Xi felt happy.
"Don't you think we are climbing too high? The Zhang family must be a scholarly family, especially Dean Zhang. Not only does he have students all over the world, but he also has disciples all over the world. For such a great scholar, many people are staring at him. If you climb up to him, you will be invisible.
It’s a lot more help.”
"Dean Zhang fell in love with our Xiao Wu. In addition to the blessing of Xiao Wu's father, he probably also planned it for his daughter. After all, he chose the disciples who were close to him and brought them up with him. With words and deeds, he naturally has good qualities.
No."
After listening to Bai Yunxi's analysis, Wenyou thought for a moment and nodded.
"The law of survival of the fittest...Miss Zhang has a good character and is a good match for the fifth brother."
Listening to Wenyou's tone and thinking of her experience, Bai Yunxi agreed with her words.
"You are right. Excellent talents attract each other and make up for the shortcomings."
Just as they were talking, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Xiao Wu walked into the courtyard with a few books in his arms.
"Hey, why are you back and asking for leave from the college again?"
"As for accommodation, all you need to do is talk to Mr. Gongzhai. When mother and fourth brother arrive in the county seat, I will naturally come to accompany you."
Bai Yunxi looked at him with disapproval.
"You have to focus on your studies now. Let's make some snacks in the county town, just for fun. We must not delay your studies."
Xiao Wu put the book on the table and smiled softly.
"Don't worry, Mom, you won't delay your studies. I heard that the shop opened today. Senior Xie and all the students went there. When they came back, they praised me a lot, saying that the ice bowl you made was delicious and cooled down the heat."
"It's a pity that I was stopped by Master, who insisted on asking me for a policy review, otherwise I should have been the first to run over."
Xiao Wu said with some regret in his eyes.
Bai Yunxi looked at him, he was still too young to be able to handle the situation.
"You kid, why are you so obsessed with this? We're not going to finish it in a day or two. At any rate, this snack can last for a month or two. You can do it anytime you want, but you can't put the cart before the horse and delay your study."
"Mom, don't worry, I won't have any problems studying. My master has been strict with me recently because I have to participate in the autumn exam. Although the teacher only said to try the mythical beast next time, I can't fail to use it. I still have to prepare carefully."
"Especially Master Liu is very strict with me. I have to make a policy statement and give it to him every day."
That man was the teacher's best friend and a master with real talent and learning. He had always admired him.
"That's good,"
Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and opened her mouth, but she suppressed her words again. At the moment, she still focused on studying. As for the matter between him and Yi Shan, I guess the child didn't think about anything else at all.
The Zhang family just had this intention and did not express their attitude. They probably did not want to delay Xiao Wuqiu's final exam.
While they were talking, Xiao Si and Du Shi also drove the carriage into the yard. Seeing their faces flushed with heat, Bai Yunxi quickly ordered Xiao Wu to fetch water so that they could wash up.
Du Shi may have just arrived in a new environment, but she was full of excitement.
"Mom, there's no need for fifth brother to interfere, I can do it myself. Although it's a little hot, I'm not tired at all."
She was telling the truth. Apart from being a little confused at first, she felt very relaxed after getting used to it.
In half a day, all the ingredients in the store were sold out. Looking at the half-box of copper coins, she felt very energetic and not tired at all.
Listening to Du's thoughts, Bai Yunxi glared at her.
"After a busy day, there is no reason why you are not tired. It is because you are energetic and feel fresh that you are full of energy. After washing up and going to bed, your whole body will be sore."
Apart from anything else, this person is really hard-working. It is for this reason that every time I see her being embarrassed by her family, I always feel heartbroken and hate her.
After washing and resting for a while, Baiyunxi asked Xiaosi to go out and buy a few bowls of noodles. Everyone ate together and went to bed directly.
After today's business, tomorrow will definitely be even more popular than today.
Before anyone imitates them, they need to make a fortune first.
Xiao Wu looked at several people lying tiredly on the bed. After a while, he heard slight snoring, and felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
In other families, at Mom's age, there are many children and grandchildren, and they are already old enough to take care of themselves. Only his mother is still helping the children to make a fortune and live a better life.
To be honest, he felt very sad and wished he could grow up overnight and share the burden of the family.
But at the moment, he can only repay his mother by studying well and getting the honors. It also proves to his brother and sister-in-law that they made the right bet.
Xiao Wu clenched his fists, picked up his book and sat under the lamp to read at night. As usual, he first familiarized himself with the contents of tomorrow's class in advance.
There was no talking all night, and when Bai Yunxi opened his eyes, Xiao Wu had already gone to the academy to study in the morning.
Du Shi had gotten up early. Not only had she prepared breakfast, but she had also steamed and dried several types of fruit purees. All she had to do was take them to the shop and crush them into puree, then chill them for later use.
After a few people had breakfast, they loaded the things they had prepared onto the carriage and went straight to the shop.
Just after I opened the door, my mother-in-law came running over sweating profusely.
"Oh, hurry up and hurry up, but you're still a step too late."
"Aunt Deng, there is no need to worry in the future. There are no guests coming to the door in the morning. It is just preparation work. It will be fine later."
Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Du answered with a smile. Yesterday, the two of them worked together in the kitchen, and they had already become familiar with each other, and they talked much more casually.
"Then you can't be lazy. I was entrusted by my master to help, so how can I be lazy?"
"Aunt Deng is a hard-working person, and laziness has nothing to do with her."
"Oh, I don't dare to compare with Mrs. Du. You are a real hard-working person and a rare agile person."
With such a small body, it was impossible to work around without being convinced. With her around, she could only do a little bit.
