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

Zhang's mother refused to let Mrs. Du help, and she also understood that Mrs. Du was the master of the mansion no matter what, and she was not something her mother could control.

For now, there are only these few people in their family, and it is not necessary to set up a small kitchen for each of them.

In the future, when there are more people and children, it is understandable to set up small kitchens at the head of each house to prepare supplementary food for the children at any time.

A large kitchen is enough for now.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi looked up at Mrs. Du, "In the past few days, you have been helping in the kitchen, can you still get along with others?"

"Mother Zhang keeps the kitchen tidy, and the girls and mothers-in-law are also diligent, and the daughter-in-law can't help much." Du Shi smiled coyly, "I only occasionally get some food for Yaya, and I don't need the rest. I."

The girl who washes vegetables, the girl who burns the fire, and the handyman are all ready, and she can't intervene at all.

In the first few days, she enthusiastically went to help, cooked some of her favorite food, and discussed with the kitchen staff how to cook delicious food, but apart from politely apologizing, they just praised the delicious food, especially the The two cooks looked at her with worried eyes and occasionally hostility, and they treated her very comfortably.

She is timid and has no experience in the world, but she is not stupid, so she can't see that the people in the kitchen don't welcome her at all.
Fortunately, with her mother-in-law's order, those people are still polite to her, but that's all.

After that, apart from cooking some of Yaya's favorite food, she stopped helping in the kitchen the rest of the time, so the more she saved, the more work she would do.

In the past at home, the kitchen has always been her world, but now she suddenly does nothing, and she always feels empty in her heart.

When this thought came to her mind, Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing. She was born to be a miserable person, a cheap person who would not enjoy any blessings.

Listening to Du's voice and looking at her sad eyes, Bai Yunxi was stunned.
For a person who is used to working, it would be uncomfortable to let her idle suddenly.Especially with Du Shi's sensitive temperament, once he has nothing to do, he will easily feel insecure.

But, she left all the affairs in the mansion to Sister Shan in one go, and then handed over the kitchen to Mrs. Du to take care of it, which would easily cause conflicts between the two sisters-in-law.

"What, you're not used to being idle all of a sudden?"

"A little bit, I'm used to working, and I always feel uncomfortable when I'm free." Shi Du rubbed her hands in embarrassment. She should be born to be a hard worker, and she would feel flustered when she didn't work.

Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi's delicate face, and there were fine lines around her eyes, especially her working hands, which were rougher than hers.

"I used to be at home, you walked around the pot every day, and you couldn't be idle all day long. Now that you are in Fucheng, you are the eldest lady of the mansion, the serious master, and there are maids around you, so you should take care of it. The kitchen is heavily polluted. Time It's easy to damage your appearance after a long time. The conditions were not allowed before, but now it's better, you should think of yourself."

"Tomorrow, let's go shopping in the street, and I'll buy you some balm later, apply it after washing every day, and make up for what was lost before."

When Mrs. Du heard this, she waved her hands repeatedly.

"Mother, don't be so troublesome. I still have a lot of useless balm. I brought back the ones you bought for me before. There are still several boxes."

Her balm is bought by her mother-in-law in the county seat, and it is very delicate. She is reluctant to use too much every time. The second brother and sister don't have enough every time, and she can't use it up every time.

"It's not that difficult for our family now. We can still afford the balsam." Looking at Du Shi, Bai Yunxi looked helpless.

"Of course I know this, but my daughter-in-law is used to it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to change it for a while."

Aunt Song often said that in order to live, one has to plan carefully.Although life is better now, if she is allowed to waste, she still can't do it.

At dusk, Xiao Wu came back from the yamen, had dinner with Bai Yunxi, and talked with her for a while,

"Mother, I heard that someone made a fuss at the Wu family banquet today."

When the lady came back, she told him that when Governor Qian was mentioned, Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes. That person had mediocre qualifications, and he could do the job of governor for a lifetime, but for such a person, the back house was full of joy.

Let the woman in the back house commit the crime... Even if she has the prefect and the Mu family as her backs, not everyone can provoke Bai Ancheng's family.

Listening to his son's heartfelt words, Bai Yunxi waved his hands, "Then Mrs. Qian is just a leader, and I have already countered her, so don't take it to heart."

The first ones to pop out are small fish and shrimp, so it's not worth bothering about.

"She's just a pathfinder thrown by others."

Hearing her mother-in-law's flat tone, Zhang Yishan frowned, "But mother, our family just came here, and we have no grievances with them, why should we find our way?"

There is no reason for the official to take office just now, and he has never had a relationship with anyone, and his family background is clean.

Bai Yunxi looked at the doubt in the young daughter-in-law's eyes, slightly curled the corner of her lower lip,

"You're right, you have to ask Xiao Wu about it, no matter whether someone throws stones to ask for directions, or is deliberately stupid, the root cause is all in Xiao Wu, and everything has to be traced to the root."

If there is no Xiaowu, how can they come from enemies?

Although Zhang Yishan was taught very well by Zhang Yiren, but after all, she is young and some things are not clear enough.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu, hearing his mother's tone, frowned and began to care about it.Turning her head to look at her daughter-in-law, Zhang Yishan sighed and got up straight away,

"Sister-in-law, I got a few new patterns from there. Seeing that it's getting cold, I took them back to make some thick clothes for Yaya."

Du Shi nodded and went out directly with Zhang Yishan. Anyway, she couldn't understand the conversation between her mother-in-law and her fifth brother, so she couldn't help.

Bai Yunxi watched the two people leave with teasing eyes, "You two have a good understanding."

"It's all thanks to my mother-in-law,"

Listening to his mother's teasing, Xiao Wu's lips curled up, a bit embarrassed, and he even praised his mother-in-law.The corners of Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched when she heard this, and while her pig had picked up a good cabbage, the pig presumably lost it too.

After a little hesitation, Xiao Wu narrated to Bai Yunxi what happened in the capital.

"When I went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, the officials praised my son very much. I heard from the senior brother that at that time the officials intended to let me enter the Imperial Academy, but then they changed their minds and sent my son directly."

As Xiao Wu spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly,
But all Jinshi and ranks want to enter the Imperial Academy, and he is no exception.

Listening to Xiao Wu's narration, Bai Yunxi was taken aback, and almost entered the Imperial Academy, be good~
Hanlin bachelors were close to the emperor and were deeply trusted. They not only helped the emperor draft edicts, but also participated in the decision-making of national affairs. The most important thing was that the prime minister was selected from this group of people.

In short, the Hanlin Academy is the breeding ground for prime ministers.

As for why the accident happened, I'm afraid it's not simple.

Think about it too, how can the affairs of the court be simple?
