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

When Xiaowu arrived at the Banyan Tree Hall, Baiyunxi was greeting Mammy Zhu to serve a meal. "I guess you should be back soon, let's start dinner."

The whole family had dinner happily and went to the hall together. Baiyunxi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Seeing that Xiao Wu seemed to have something to say, he spoke directly.

"What do you want to say? Just say it directly. It will also give everyone in the family some insights."

A little more knowledge will only bring benefits to the family, but no harm.

"Mom, don't worry about those things outside. I know what's going on."

Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and then said,
"Deng Qiang, as a government official, has been working diligently and conscientiously over the years. I used to think that he had done a good job, but when he learned that the government officials favored him, he might be promoted to a higher position. But now that he is already [-] years old, but The prefect didn't have this intention, maybe he was anxious and wanted to find a way out from us."

Listening to Xiao Wu's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded,
"I just said it was for no reason. Why did Mrs. Deng suddenly come to the door? She really wanted something."

"Looking for me is in vain."

He was the prefect, and although he had considerable power, he couldn't help but compete with the prefect over an unfamiliar experience.Besides, Deng Qingcheng has been with the prefect for several years and has not been able to move. Naturally, there are reasons unknown to others. Why would he bother to wade into this muddy water?
Listening to Xiao Wu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi curled up his lips,
She said this guy was smart, and she hit the nail on the head.

"We stay at home on weekdays and don't go out much. Whatever the people outside think, they are all directed at you. As long as you know what's going on, Mom will feel at ease."

Mrs. Deng wanted to save the country by going through a curve, starting from the back house, but she did not participate in any of Xiao Wu's decisions. She just wanted to be a stable old lady, and did not want to participate in those intrigues and brain-damaging things.

If you have such leisure, you might as well teach your children at home so that they can grow more sophisticated.

Since his mother understood what he meant, Xiaowu didn't stay long. "Mom, take a rest soon. I'll go back and handle some official duties."

The senior brother sent him a letter and helped him analyze the situation in Kyoto. He should study it carefully when he returns.After the case of uncovering illegal salt was submitted, it was commended, and even the senior brother got the news.

"Go quickly, go quickly, finish processing early, rest early, don't stay up late, it is easy to damage the body."

Listening to Xiao Wu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi quickly waved them away.

Things in officialdom take a lot of brain work. Take one step at a time and look at ten steps. There is no room for delay.

Seeing the couple going out together, Bai Yunxi also waved to the Du family and her daughter.
"It's getting late, you two should go back and rest. Don't do needlework late at night, as it may hurt your eyes."

"I know, mother, I don't usually do anything, so I just do a little bit when I practice calligraphy with Yaya." Du Shi smiled slightly and left with her daughter.

After Bai Yunxi washed up, she went directly to bed to rest. She couldn't stay up late now, as it would easily accelerate aging.

When she opened her eyes the next day, she felt a chill when she pushed the door in with pomegranates.Baiyunxi folded the quilt,
"Why do you feel like it's getting colder again?"

"Old lady, it's snowing outside." Pomegranate rubbed her hands, put them on the charcoal basin and grilled them, and said with a smile.

"You girl, are you freezing from playing in the snow?"

Aunt Zhu gave her a scolding look. Early in the morning, the girls got up and saw the snow. They were so excited. If they hadn't been thinking about the old lady and didn't wake up, they would have started playing.

On the flower bed outside, there are a lot of good snowballs, waiting for the old lady to have a snowball fight when she wakes up.

"It snowed in the middle of the night last night. It was four fingers thick. It doesn't seem to be stopping. I guess it will continue until dark."

Aunt Zhu stood by the fire and warmed her hands to get rid of the coldness on her body, then came over to help her master get dressed. "Is it snowing so early?"

"Ouch, old lady, it's getting late, it's officially the twelfth lunar month."

"I was too confused."

Bai Yunxi was in a daze. She had been staying in the house every day for a while, burning a charcoal pot and eating cakes. She didn't feel cold at all. It was already the twelfth lunar month.

The twelfth lunar month is the New Year, and every household begins to prepare for the New Year.

It was their first time to celebrate the New Year in Fucheng. After that, the fourth child would come with the second child, his wife, and his daughter. When the whole family got together, they really had to prepare well.

"As we enter the twelfth lunar month, we have the flavor of the New Year. You and the girls should get ready for what to do in our courtyard. Although the customs of the New Year are different in different parts of the world, our family only pays attention to one thing: being lively, and there are no other taboos."

"If you need to use the kitchen, just tell Mama Zhang directly. That person is considerate and a good manager."

During the New Year celebrations anywhere, in addition to offering sacrifices, relatives and friends sit together to eat and drink, emphasizing reunion.

"Yes, I have to make a list when I go back. New calendar, all kinds of door gods, peach charms, Zhongkui, wine eaves... As the New Year is approaching, we are frying new year's goods and steaming rice cakes."

Mammy Zhu recited it in circles, and she couldn't even count it on her fingers. She really had to make a purchase list, so as not to miss anything.

The masters of the house are worry-free and don't have to deal with so many twists and turns.She follows the old lady, and she does have a lot to worry about, but the things she purchases during these New Year holidays are not a problem for her.

Listening to Mammy Zhu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi's eyebrows moved. Their family had a small population and nothing messy. It was really simple.

After breakfast, Bai Yunxi was wearing a big cloak, holding a stove, and stood on the porch watching the girls and their eldest granddaughter building snowmen and having snowball fights.

The whole yard was filled with laughter, especially Yaya. It was the first time that so many people were playing in the snow with her. She was unwilling to stop even if her nose was red from the cold.

"Yaya, be careful, don't slip and fall, be careful if you kowtow."

Mrs. Du came over wearing warm sleeves and whispered instructions, looking helpless.

"I usually learn the rules very well by watching them, but once I start playing, I forget them all."

"It is natural for children to be lively and active. I also want to play, but with my old arms and legs, I can run if I want to."

Baiyun Xi chuckled and looked at the foggy sky. Large snowflakes were flying all over the sky. Looking around, the entire city was shrouded in snow.

Looking at the woman who was constantly cleaning the door, Bai Yunxi waved her hand directly.
"There's no need to sweep it yet. It won't be too late to sweep it after the snow stops. It's cold, so you all should be careful. Make some ginger soup and drink a bowl of it each to warm your body and don't freeze."

It's snowing, so I can't sweep it clean, and my clothes are all wet.During this period, the wind and cold are severe and can kill the weak.

When the maid heard her master's words, she was so grateful that she quickly put the broom up at the door and started preparing ginger soup.

Seeing her daughter playing crazy with the girl, fortunately the girl and her mother-in-law were protecting her, so Du didn't care.

"Mom, I made a winter coat for you. I'm going to get it for you."
