MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 942 The person holding the hand is short-handed

Chapter 942: Taking advantage of others

 After making arrangements, Bai Yunxi leaned on the cushions, checked the balance in the locker, squinted and thought, how could he add some wealth to the family?

Just when she was distracted, Pomegranate walked in with an invitation. "Old lady, the Duan family has sent an invitation."

 The Duan family, an imperial merchant in Kyoto?

Mrs. Wu once told her that the Duan family in Kyoto was from the first family lineage, and she and Xie Yu’s mother were from the second family lineage.

Bai Yunxi took the post and opened it and looked at it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The Duan family held a flower viewing party.

She has no relationship with the Duan family, so how could she suddenly notice the Bai family?

At this moment, Zhang Yishan was supported by the girl and walked in, "Mom, the Duan family posted a message to us. I guess it must be related to the Xie family's godbrother."

 “It’s okay, not as fun as I thought.”

Hearing Zhang Yishan’s inner voice, Bai Yunxi sighed, this is class. Even if he is labeled as an imperial merchant, in the eyes of these bureaucrats, he is still a merchant.

If you don’t have any financial resources, you can’t afford to go through such trouble.

Her mother once told her that the imperial merchants were the moneybags of the imperial court. Although they had rank, they had no real power. Don’t hesitate when you are asked to pay, otherwise, all your property could be confiscated for just one insignificant crime.

Baiyunxi held her hands up and looked at her gently,

"You are the eldest lady of the Duan family, right? We are all new here, so please bear with me if I make a mistake."

Baiyunxi twitched the corner of his mouth. It turned out that he was short-handed.

　　Getting hooked upon being excited?

Hearing Tao Ruyi's indignant voice, Bai Yunxi glanced at her. This girl was really strange. She looked down on this and looked down on that, so why did she come over so eagerly?

Just when she had questions, Tao Ruyi started to complain again. If Duan Hongni hadn't been generous and gave her many good things, she would have been unwilling to come to such a boring flower banquet.

Baiyunxi arrived as scheduled with Du Shi and Zhang Yishan.

 A group of bumpkins from the countryside.

Mrs. Tao nodded slightly, and Bai Yunxi returned the courtesy. They were of the same rank and were not familiar with each other, so a nod was enough.

Mrs. Duan stopped immediately and spoke softly,

“What a coincidence, the Tao family’s eldest wife and daughter have also arrived. They are worthy of being official members of the minister’s family, and their manners are really good.”

Those girls gathered together, racking their brains to recite poems and write poems, which was very boring. Reading and writing at home and having to go out are so exhausting. It’s really a hassle.

That Tao Ruyi still inspired her to write poetry, did she think she was a three-year-old child?

 “In this case, just reply to them and keep the appointment truthfully.”

What bad luck, why did it happen again?

Mrs. Duan chuckled lightly and led the people towards the yard.

 Zhang Yishan stroked her belly and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm not feeling well. I can go and join in the fun."

 So what about the imperial merchants? They are still different from the officials who passed the examination.

"Xie Yu is back too? Why didn't you hear Xiao Wu mention it?" Bai Yunxi was stunned.

Hearing her granddaughter's description, Baiyun Xi was stunned. She had found a like-minded friend.

 “As long as you have friends you can talk to.” It’s okay if you like to eat, it’s just a personal hobby.

The same goes for the Duan family. As soon as the Bai family entered Beijing, they went to fawn over them. It was really the habit of merchants.

“The official mentioned something to me yesterday. He also just learned that Brother Xie Jiagan was also being deployed. However, they have a long journey and have been delayed for a long time. It is estimated that they should enter Beijing.”

 If you can see hundreds of flowers blooming in winter, they must have been cultivated in a greenhouse. Such a large-scale operation not only consumes manpower and material resources, but heating alone is a huge expense.

 She took the girl around the garden a few times, and the scenery was still very beautiful.

 When she first came to Kyoto, she had to show up.

 Zhang Yishan chuckled, "Brother Xie is the nephew of the second eldest brother of the Duan family. When they come to Beijing to take up their posts, the eldest brother of the Duan family must also pay attention to them."

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five

 At Shen Shi in the afternoon, Yaya came back.

Bai Yunxi nodded and followed his mother-in-law into the courtyard. Looking at the colorful scenery in the yard, her eyebrows moved. She was worthy of being an imperial businessman, quite luxurious.

While talking, Mrs. Tao brought her daughter to several people. Mrs. Duan said hello again, and then introduced the two of them to each other.

Bai Yunxi looked at her uninterested expression and raised his eyebrows, "How about it? Didn't you have a good time?"

“You’re welcome, Bai Shuren, you have a very accurate vision.”

As soon as he got off the carriage, the old woman came over and said, "Old slave, please pay your respects to Bai Shu. My master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing Yaya’s heartfelt voice, Baiyun Xi shook the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly, “You haven’t met anyone who can talk to you?”

 “Grandma, I invite her to come to my house as a guest when she has time.”

As the man said this, he walked up to Baiyun River and saluted.

 “I’ve met Bai Shuren.”

 Mrs. Duan led the people into the garden. Baiyunxi felt a warmth, and surprise flashed in her eyes. Is there a sunroom at this time?

 This is the first time she has seen glass since she came here, transparent glass.

Looks like a cheerful and talkative person.

Putting down the invitation, Bai Yunxi looked at her bulging belly and asked, "How are you doing? Are you going to the banquet?"

Seeing the surprise in Bai Yunxi's eyes, Mrs. Duan's eyes were filled with pride and she explained softly,

“This is colored glaze, which my master brought back from far away. It took several years to build this greenhouse.”

“I had known that Mr. Bai had come to Kyoto, a young and talented man. Today I see such a graceful and noble person as Shuren. It turns out that he has his roots.”

 “It turns out that I am from Bai Shu, so I am polite.”

 While he was talking, another guest arrived at the door.

Baiyunxi immediately saw Tao Ruyi following the woman.

After Mrs. Duan said this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.

 When I first arrived in Kyoto, it was quite lively.

"There is one, her name is Tang Yuan, and she is also a girl who doesn't like to write poems." Thinking of that girl hiding in the pavilion and eating cakes, she was like a little hamster, very cute.

YaYa said with a smile, it was rare to meet such an interesting girl, it would be nice to chat with her.

"Oh, I am not the only one who said this. Bai Hanlin became a celebrity as soon as he entered Kyoto. Whether it is appearance or ability, he is first-rate."

Having just taken two steps, I saw a woman in a gorgeous dress walking quickly, "Bai Shu's visit to the other courtyard is really radiant."

Hearing the compliments, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but sigh, he knows how to speak.

 “This is Bai Shuren, Bai Hanlin’s mother.”

Bai Yunxi looked at her granddaughter and said, "The days ahead are long."

 “Nothing has ever been so good as what you said. It’s so kind.”

 Three days later, the Duan Family Courtyard.

For these colored glazes, the master set up a camel team and spent a lot of money.

As soon as Mrs. Duan finished speaking, someone echoed her,

"Isn't that right? Except for the Duan family, no one else has the financial resources to build such a large greenhouse."
