- #943 - Chapter 943 Duan Family Flower Banquet
Baiyunxi knew clearly that with the title of Imperial Merchant, the Duan family not only engaged in domestic business, but also had contact with many foreign businessmen.
Mutual trade was opened on the border of the Song Dynasty, and many foreigners entered the country and used their blankets and leathers to barter with the Central Plains people. The Duan family made a name for themselves on the border with their business skills.
Not only do they often interact with these people, but they can also organize camel teams and travel to foreign lands.
This sunroom is really nice. There is no need to burn charcoal. The sunlight alone during the day can keep the house warm. Baiyunxi nodded and complimented in agreement.
It’s really bold to dare to show off your wealth so openly.
The Baiyunxi family appeared in the Duan family and immediately became the focus of everyone. Everyone was unfamiliar with them, but they were also curious. Who made a Hanlin bachelor suddenly appear in the Bai family?
Everyone knows what that seat represents.
Bai Yunxi didn’t care when he came into contact with everyone’s eyes, and kept smiling appropriately. It was her first time in a strange place and she was not familiar with everyone. Likewise, these people didn’t understand her either.
Their eyes collided inadvertently, and both parties would smile politely to resolve the embarrassment.
At this time, an old lady sitting at the top of the greenhouse came in from Baiyun River. She stared at her from time to time, and occasionally lowered her head to talk to the people around her.
Mrs. Duan noticed the old lady’s gaze and immediately took Bai Yunxi a step forward.
That is the Prime Minister’s wife. It is very difficult to find her on weekdays.
Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows. It turned out to be the Mu family. No wonder she kept staring at her.
The two of them walked up to Mrs. Mu. Although Mrs. Duan was the head of the family, it was obvious that she respected the Mu family.
This is Bai Hanlin’s mother. She has just arrived in Beijing not long ago. Mrs. Mu doesn’t go out much on weekdays. She is willing to condescend to her today. It really adds a lot of honor to my banquet.
After hearing this, Mrs. Mu’s smile became more sincere.
I’m old, and I’m very afraid of the cold, so I don’t want to move. I know that there is a greenhouse in your courtyard and there are all the flowers blooming, so I wanted to come and join in the fun.
Oh, even though it’s thanks to the blessing of these flowers and plants, I’m really happy.
Mrs. Duan has a smile on her face, and she looks like a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing. When such people hold banquets, they will generally not be left in the cold.
Bai Yunxi took her daughter-in-law and Mrs. Du to salute her.
Mrs. Mu is blessed with good fortune and good health.
The Prime Minister’s wife, a first-grade imperial wife.
Without courtesy, you are welcome to go out as a guest, Bai Shuren.
Another person who took advantage of his son and became very successful.
Mrs. Mu looked at her for a moment and waved her hand gently.
Although he was born in the countryside, he seems to have a good temperament.
Her master mentioned Bai Hanlin more than once during these days, saying that the officials valued him very much. The master is getting older, and the age of retirement is getting closer and closer. Several promising disciples were recommended to the official family, but they did not arouse much interest from the official family.
The master was quite worried about this and could not sleep at night, for fear that something might happen. As they get older and sleep less, they inevitably chatter more.
Listening to Mrs. Mu’s inner voice, Bai Yunxi almost trembled at the corner of her mouth. The official had such a straightforward preference for a minister, but he was still a helpless and humble family, so he was roasting it on the fire.
Finding wealth in danger is the situation of Xiao Wu. No wonder Xiao Wu has been so busy every day since he came to Kyoto. He reckons there are a lot of people around him who are causing trouble.
The official family hired a poor family, and suddenly got Xiao Wu to be a Hanlin bachelor. Maybe he had a lot of thoughts hidden behind him.
Now, it depends on Xiao Wu’s ability. If he can withstand those overt and covert attacks, his future is bright. Otherwise, they will be torn apart to the point where not even a bone is left.
With such an enemy, Xiao Wu could only hug the big tree of Guanjia tightly, willingly using it as a sword in his hand to stab wherever he pointed.
However, this also shows that the officials are dissatisfied with the Mu family and want to replace the talents recommended by Prime Minister Mu with Xiao Wu.
It’s right to think about it, the people recommended by the Mu family naturally have their hearts towards the Mu family. A dignified king naturally wants to find a pillar who will serve the court wholeheartedly.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Next, it really depends on Xiao Wu’s ability.
Bai Yunxi sat down next to her. Zhang Yishan and Du Si sat behind her. Watching the female relatives coming in and out, Bai Yunxi was worried and turned around to tell her daughter-in-law to be careful and don’t let others touch her.
Mom, don’t worry. I’m protected by ginkgo and lotus hearts. I won’t go to crowded places.
She just came here today to get acquainted with each other, and when she gets older, she won’t go out.
Just as they were talking, there was another commotion at the door, and Mrs. Duan walked in to welcome Princess Hehui.
I thought the princess was busy and couldn’t spare the time to come over.
The whole of Kyoto knows that the Duan Family Courtyard is unique, so I naturally want to come and take a look. Look at this scene of hundreds of flowers blooming. It is really eye-catching.
Princess Hehui walked in, and everyone in the greenhouse stood up. There was no way, the princess was of the first rank, higher than the Prime Minister’s wife.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Princess Hehui waved her hands directly, No courtesy, today is Mrs. Duan’s home court. I am just here to join in the fun and see the flowers she cultivated in her greenhouse. No need to be formal, just feel free to do it.
Hearing that the princess was so knowledgeable and reasonable, everyone couldn’t help but praise her again. Baiyunxi couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder Yaya didn’t want to go out with her. There was really nothing to do, and there was a lot of flattery everywhere.
After everyone sat down, Princess Hehui’s eyes lit up when she saw Baiyun Xi.
Bai Shuren, why don’t you see Miss Bai?
Back to the princess, my granddaughter is practicing at home as a prostitute.
During this period, it was a matter of pride for a girl’s family to be a good girl, so she naturally had to put her eldest granddaughter’s face on her.
That’s a pity. I thought I could see that clever little girl. Princess Hehui’s tone was full of regret. Little girls with innocent personalities and flexible brains are rare.
If the princess doesn’t mind, you can come and play at home.
Baiyunxi smiled gently. She also asked Yaya before setting off. That girl doesn’t like parties and would rather practice embroidery at home than go out with her. He said that there were many people at the banquet and he had to put on airs, which made him feel exhausted.
Before Princess Hehui could speak, she heard a gentle smile from the door.
The princess arrived a little late. We all walked around in a circle. The banquet will start soon. You have to punish yourself with a drink.
While talking, Mu Zhuolan led several girls over and joked with a smile.
Isn’t it just a glass of wine? What’s so difficult about this? Princess Hehui raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to accept.
Mu Zhuolan looked at Baiyunxi and felt slightly blessed.
I saw the princess talking to someone from afar. It turned out to be Bai Shu. The princess really likes your granddaughter. She has mentioned it to me several times.
My girl is young and has just come to Kyoto. She is very curious about the people and things in Kyoto. When she went back to the poetry club last time, she said how good the county master was and treated her kindly. I look forward to meeting her next time.
