Listening to Zhang Yishan's tone, Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up and she nodded appreciatively.
"Listen, I'm telling you that it's right to let you take charge of the house. Look how thoughtfully you take care of this matter."
Being praised by her mother-in-law in person, Zhang Yishan's cheeks turned red, "I'm still young and I don't understand many things, so I need more guidance from my mother."
"No, no, no, you've already done a good job." It's good to train a housekeeper from a young age, and you can get started with it. This is the advantage of marrying the daughter of a big family.
Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter-in-law's delicate face and became more and more satisfied.
Listening to her mother-in-law's praise, Zhang Yishan finally felt at ease and was convinced that her mother-in-law really let her take care of the house.
"Mom, when an official comes to take office for the first time, in principle, he will hold a banquet in the mansion and invite people to visit him, so that he can become acquainted with us. In principle, the official will handle the affairs of the officialdom by himself, but with those at the back of the house,
Dealing with the mistress is the daughter-in-law's responsibility."
Zhang Yishan said, confusion flashed across her face.
"But my daughter-in-law is a little unsure. After all, we are new to Fucheng and know very little about the situation here. If we send out invitations and no one comes, or the banquet arrangements are not appropriate and something goes wrong,
It's a joke. It doesn't matter if the women make some jokes. After all, it's a matter in the backyard. If it damages the official's reputation, we have to stop trying."
When she set out, her mother warned her that every place has its own network of interpersonal relationships, which are complicated and intricate. If you are not careful, you may make a joke and embarrass the official in front of his colleagues.
They are new to the Bai family and have no foundation at all. Even if the official is a hot new number one scholar, once they enter the officialdom, their respective positions and interests are involved, and everything else is empty. Especially for those clan nobles with deep foundations,
In the eyes of others, they are similar to ants, the kind who can be trampled to death at any time when it comes to disputes over interests.
When her mother told her this, although she was very unconvinced, she calmed down and could figure it out. There was no way, who made them lose their foundation. When it came to conflicts of interests, they really had no other choice but to temporarily avoid the edge.
Method.
There is no way, this is class, and many people cannot cross class.
Thinking of the Wu family and the Duan family, Zhang Yishan nodded, "What mother said is that the eldest lady of the Wu family seems to be a kind person and is enthusiastic towards us. She also thanked mother many times for saving her godfather's life. She has this kind of kindness.
Now, there’s no need to worry too much.”
She used to think that after her fifth brother was admitted to the top prize, they finally got through and became masters... But now, she found that Fucheng was full of masters, and they were not only very smart but also very powerful.
.
Bai Yunxi said, looking at the serious look on her daughter-in-law's face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She is indeed a daughter who was taught by her own family. She is so thoughtful at such a young age.
But right now, if someone is giving you a hard time and wants to give you a blow to lose face, there really is no other way.
"With Brother Yu's status, even if they don't help, they won't embarrass us."
Just because I don't have the confidence in my heart, I am worried that if there is trouble at the banquet, if the unruly two families are arranged together and the banquet is disturbed, it will only be the Bai family who will be embarrassed in the end.
"But everything has its limits. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if things don't work out, there will still be Xiao Wu standing in front of you... Don't forget that your godbrother Xie Yu's aunt and uncle are here.
The status and connections in Fucheng are from our side."
"Okay, Mom, I believe you can do it."
Thinking of this, Du Shi's face suddenly became a little depressed.
Now, even my mother-in-law said so, so she must be right.
Even so, they are still newcomers in the eyes of the old nobles, and lack any background.
"Everything you said makes sense and is thoughtful enough. When we first came to Fucheng, we did not understand a lot, especially among the officials, who was friends with whom and who had issues with whom. We haven't figured it out yet. What if?
It is indeed not beautiful to have a banquet hastily and be laughed at."
Now, she is also the mother-in-law of the queen's house, so she must get familiar with the connections in the city as soon as possible, be a good wife, and not hinder the officials.
Bai Yunxi said, looking at the big eyes and smiling slightly,
"It's not that I'm being arrogant, it's a fact, and it's due to my status. If we want to become a noble in the eyes of others, we have to pursue our dreams vigorously, and we have to work hard for two generations."
Although there is no family affection in the face of interests, if they attack officials and spread the word, they will be looked down upon.
Listening to Zhang Yishan's thoughts and looking at her worried eyes, Bai Yunxi gently took her hand, patted it, and motioned her to sit down and talk.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yishan clenched her fists with firm eyes,
Unless the officials sing loudly all the way, people will be afraid and dare not provoke them easily.
Listening to her mother-in-law and her fifth younger siblings discussing matters about Fucheng, Mrs. Du pursed her lips and looked at a loss. Although she couldn't quite understand what she heard, she could somewhat understand that Fucheng was not easy to mess with. And she was completely unable to help.
If you are busy, you may be hindered accidentally.
Both Du Shihe and Zhang Yishan looked bad after hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, especially Zhang Yishan, who looked even more serious.
Ever since Guanren was in high school, she had been dragged to the study room by her father. They didn't know what they said, and she couldn't even disturb him.
A few days before her departure, her mother also told her that the Bai family had just started and had a weak foundation. When they arrived in Fucheng, they had to keep a low profile.
"But having said that, we are new here. This is known to all. Before we arrived, the appointment documents from above had already been issued to the government office. Who among those who have been immersed in official circles for many years does not have a delicate heart? It must have been early.
Just find out our details."
Bai Yunxi patted her hand with admiration in her eyes. This child is a strong one.
"Our number one scholar is a scholar from a poor family. He changed his family name as soon as he jumped over the dragon gate. To ordinary people, our family has achieved unprecedented wealth, but to those noble clans, they will never consider us
See it in your eyes."
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. My father has always said that an official is a rare wise and intelligent person who is most suitable for an official career. Although my mother also taught me a lot of things about running a house, I used to be too willful.
I haven’t learned much. But from now on, I will work hard to make up for it, and I will definitely take care of my family.”
They will have to deal with these masters in the future. The fifth brother and the fifth younger brother and sister may be able to adapt, but she may be in danger.
On weekdays in the countryside, she rarely goes out. Now in Fucheng, she is afraid that she will be of no use.
The more she thought about it, she felt uncertain, and her brows twisted up unconsciously. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would see her, so she quickly lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief unconsciously with her fingers, looking like she was in a state of confusion.
I'm going to start updating. Thank you to my friends who have always liked Qiufeng...
