Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 667

"When she wakes up by herself, the hard days will end."

"Then what if you don't wake up?" Bai Anjing looked at her mother eagerly, with expectation in her eyes.

"It's useless to look at me. Mother has said what she should say. If she has been unable to refuse her mother's family's request, she will not take herself seriously, and it will be useless to help others."

Bai Yunxi shook his head and changed the subject directly.

"By the way, what happened to you when you went out yesterday?" It's fine if everyone didn't come back together, the faces of the daughter and Xiaowu were not very good.

"Cough~, we met Xing'er in the back mountain yesterday..." Bai Jingjing didn't hide it, and directly narrated what happened yesterday to her. Seeing her mother's ugly face, she hurriedly comforted her.
"Mother, don't worry, she has to face. I didn't make it clear, so I took him away and handed it to the second aunt before I came back."

Baiyunxi took a deep breath and said nothing else.
"Xiao Wu has four more days to go on vacation. I'm going to rest at home for a day today, and we'll leave for the county tomorrow. In addition to preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony, I also let Xiao Wu leave the village in advance, so as to save other moths from appearing."

What should be said should not be said, what should be done and what should not be done, she has done it all, and even torn face with the second uncle's natal family.Even yesterday's banquet, she didn't invite anyone from the second room. During the period, the uncle mentioned it, but she pretended not to hear it. Fortunately, the uncle is also transparent, knowing that she doesn't want to see the second room's family, so he just mentioned it. .

It's all up to this point, and if you still stick to it, then it's not a matter of shame.

If you can't kill people, what else can you do?
It's okay to hide.

"I heard what Dean Zhang said. I'm going to let Xiao Wu try his hands in the autumn. Even if he doesn't win, he can get some experience back. Time is tight and the task is urgent. For half a year, Xiao Wu can live on campus directly. You don't need to go home, mother needs to go see him."

If so, she still can't completely pull people away, then she will leave her alone.

"This method is good. Xiaowu needs to be quiet and calm when he is reading books. If he stays in the academy and has the dean watching over him, it must be good to study."

Bai Anjing's eyes were bright, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

"Maybe the fifth younger brother can really win the championship in one fell swoop, and the lintel of our family can be raised one level higher."

Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter's imaginative expression, reached out and pinched her cheek,

"Xiao Wu has a talent for reading, but it's better to dream of getting the honor of being a scholar within a year. Let's just think about it, and we can't say it outside, lest people say we are arrogant."

"Mother, don't worry, I know it well." Wait until the fifth younger brother is admitted, and then others will only be envious, and no matter how dissatisfied they dare not speak out in person.

Anyway, she thinks that Xiao Wu is fine, it must be fine.

Hearing the girl's heartfelt voice, Bai Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly. She really thought that Juren was a geographical cabbage. If you want to pull one out, you can just stretch out your hand?

With a plan in mind, Bai Yunxi also delayed, telling Xiao Wu about the plan while having lunch.

"Let's go to the county early in the morning, stay at the inn first, prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, then say hello to Zhang's family, and come to apprentice."

"Okay, that's a lot of time."

Xiao Wu has no objection to this, since he has to go to the county to study anyway, it doesn't matter if it is sooner or later.

In this way, early the next morning, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to drive an ox cart, and the three of them wandered to the county seat.

Apprenticeship to a teacher to learn art is not a trivial matter these days, it must be taken seriously and prepared to practice, that is, the six rituals.

In addition, a teacher apprentice post must be carefully prepared.

When the three of them arrived in the county, they stayed directly at the Nanshan Inn and took two medium-sized rooms.

The speed of the ox cart was slow, and the dangling tail was sore. Bai Yunxi rubbed his waist and sat down to rest his feet.

These two rooms face the street and sit by the window, just to see the scenery on the street.

Bai Yunxi looked at Wen You who was standing beside her, and pointed to the opposite chair, "After driving all the way, you should also sit down and rest. I treat you as a daughter, not a servant, so there is no need to do so."

"I know, but some habits are not easy to change." Wen You gave a rare smile, and sat opposite to drink water.

After resting for a while, the three of them went to the street to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles together, and then began to prepare for the Six Rites.

The county is more prosperous than the town, and the items are much more exquisite than the town. After purchasing six gifts and returning to the inn, it was already dusk.

"Tomorrow you go to Zhang's house to deliver greeting cards, and the day after tomorrow we will visit the teacher."

In fact, they passed their anger on the day of the banquet, presumably the Zhang family had already prepared for it, but for such a big event as apprenticeship, they had to go through the process according to the rules, and they should not be sloppy at all, so as to show respect for the teacher.

"Mother, don't worry, I have already prepared the greeting card, and I will deliver it tomorrow morning."

After explaining tomorrow's affairs, Baiyunxi and Wenyou went to rest early.

It was tiring enough to ride the bullock cart for a long time, and then go shopping in the street for a long time to buy apprenticeship ceremonies.

It's night till dawn again,

Bai Yunxi opened his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar environment, he was slightly stunned, and remembered that he was already in the county seat.

Staring at the gray window curtain for a while, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth, it doesn't hurt to be a little tired, even if he doesn't recognize the bed, he doesn't have the bad habit of insomnia.

As soon as she got up and finished dressing, Wenyou opened the door and came in, holding a tray in the other hand with a bowl of porridge and two buns on it.

"Aunt Bai is awake, here is the breakfast prepared for you, just eat it while it's hot."

Bai Yunxi glanced at the hourglass next to him, it was already the last hour.

"Xiao Wu has gone to deliver greeting cards, right?"

"Well, I went after breakfast, and I guess it's already here." Wenyou glanced at the scale on the hourglass, and said softly.

"Because the weather is not too hot, let's go out for a walk after dinner."

Bai Yunxi looked at the sunshine outside, the weather is so good, it's a pity to stay in the inn.

After eating, they changed into ginger-yellow cotton dresses, and the two of them left the inn together. Before leaving, Baiyunxi did not forget to tell the shopkeeper to feed the cattle good food.

The layout of the county town during this period was mostly in the shape of a field, dividing east, west, north, and south into four areas. East Street was a commercial street, while West Street and North Street belonged to common people’s residences, and the interesting industry such as this animal husbandry was also stationed in it.

In addition to government offices and residences of officials, South Street also includes the residences of scholars and some merchants, which belongs to the standard residence of the rich.

From this point alone, we can see that the class is distinct, the difference between the poor and the rich.

Walking on the street, watching the people coming and going, Baiyunxi was not in a hurry, and looked at the shops on both sides slowly. Not to mention, here on the East Street, there are still a lot of shops for food, clothing and entertainment.

Occasionally, a few girls dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by servants, and wearing veiled hats can be seen walking on the street.

There are quite a few family members of officials in the county seat, and some of them have strict rules and don't like their daughters to show their faces in public, so they use this kind of veil to cover them when they go out.
