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

As soon as Du said these words, Baiyun Xi was immediately amused.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of going out to have fun. If you don't want to laugh, who can force you to do it? When you meet outsiders, you will just accept it subconsciously. There is no need to learn it deliberately."

"The old lady is right. When everyone goes to a banquet, everyone is the same. As long as it is not rude, you don't need to pay too much attention to the rest." Mammy Zhu stood next to him and agreed softly.

"Sister, just go over and watch the fun. On weekdays, you don't see so many women from the back house gathering together, and they all dress up to attend, which is very eye-catching."

Zhang Yishan sat next to her and couldn't help but joke.

"Every time I feel bored, I just take a look at the colorful flowers in the garden. When the time is up, I just get up and leave."

Going out for a banquet is not always a success, and occasionally you have to be patient.

Bai Yunxi also agrees with this. After all, it's someone else's family, and it really can't be compared with home.

"Well, you all go down and get ready. Send out all the clothes and jewelry you like and match them as you like. If there is something wrong, just go out and buy it tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Du Shi refused without hesitation, "No, mother, we haven't even put on the two new winter coats we just made."

My mother bought a lot of fabrics a while ago. She has nothing to do and is just making clothes.

Moreover, they are all made of gold-woven fabrics and are very gorgeous.

Hearing Du's tone of rejection, Baiyunxi glared at her.
"As a woman, how can I dislike having too few clothes? Our family is also different from before. If we have too few clothes and are too shabby, people will complain."

"Mom, what we wear are all brocades and soft silks, which are very slippery for undergarments. These are top-notch materials. In the past, we would have never dreamed of them. If we didn't even It’s all shabby, and the people’s lives can only be miserable.”

After Du Shi finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the room, which startled her.
"...What's wrong?"

Did she say something wrong?

Baiyunxi looked at her quietly for a moment, until Du Shi's cheeks turned red, then she chuckled,
"You are right. People live in poverty and barely have enough to eat. Naturally, they don't care about the issue of clothing. It can only be said that one moment and another moment, the status is different, whether it is food, drink, chewing, or worldly sophistication."

She didn't expect that Du Shi would think of this. She was surprised and couldn't help but admire that Du Shi's state of mind had broadened a lot to the naked eye.

"We have broken away from basic life and moved to a higher level. From now on, we have to pay attention to spiritual life. Clothing is just the most basic thing."

This is why everyone wants to move up.

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Du Shi was stunned for a moment. Thinking about the past and thinking about it now, it was indeed different.

My mother used to buy them clothes, but the best fabric was fine cotton. It was not until the fifth brother became an official that she bought brocade materials.

They have now risen from common people to the families of officials.

It's not very comfortable to go out for a banquet in the middle of winter. It's freezing cold and people wear too many clothes, making it very inconvenient to move around.

Therefore, Baiyunxi didn't want her granddaughter to go out and get cold.

"We went to the Liang family for a banquet, and Yaya stayed at home, with Nanny Zhu watching over her. Although the prefects won't do anything to us, there are always people who will act according to the circumstances. If someone does something secretly, Jiuzi, it’s hard to prevent Yaya from attacking. It’s cold and freezing in the cold weather, so it’s safer to stay at home.”

Du Shi listened and nodded repeatedly, "What mother said is that it's best for Yaya to stay at home. It's freezing outside, and Yaya doesn't have a quiet temperament, so she's not suitable for staying outside for a long time."

The prefect's wife is a powerful person. Going there is no different than going to a wolf's den. She doesn't want her daughter to suffer along with her.Although my daughter is occasionally naughty, she is still a well-behaved and quiet child for the most part. What if she is targeted by someone who is seeking to gain influence?
Thinking of this, Du Shi couldn't help but speak,
"Mom, let me stay with Yaya at home. Anyway, I don't like that kind of situation, and I don't know how to communicate with them. There's no point in going there. It's best to have your five younger siblings to accompany you."

After all, the fifth younger brother and sister are the matrons of the family, and it is enough to give them face when two important people in the family go to the banquet.

She was just there to join in the fun, and it didn't matter whether she went or not.

Bai Yunxi thought for a moment, but didn't insist.

"Going out on a cold day is really not as comfortable as staying at home. If you don't want to go, just don't go. Yishan and I have to go early and come back early."

Soon it was time for the banquet, and the family had breakfast. Zhang Yishan ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

Baiyunxi wears a flat bun with two old silver hairpins. She wears new clothes made by Du family and a big cloak outside. She looks graceful and noble.

Zhang Yishan wears a high bun with a jade hairpin and a pearl hairpin. She wears an apricot-colored skirt and a rose-red cloak, exuding the youthful atmosphere of a young man.

The accompanying girls Wenyou and Ginkgo Caoguo were also dressed in new clothes. They took a carriage and headed to Liang Mansion.

The snowfall a few days ago was heavy. Looking around, the houses and tiles were still covered in white snow. Fortunately, the snow on the streets had been cleared, making it easier for cars and horses to travel.

It is said that it is cold when it snows, and they feel the biting chill as soon as they go out.

Even though he was wearing a big cloak, his cheeks felt cold when the wind blew over him.

Bai Yunxi looked at the quilted narrow-sleeved jacket worn by Wenyou, with a thin jacket underneath and a crow-blue horse-faced skirt, which was both plain and neat.

It’s great to have inner strength and not be afraid of the cold.

Fortunately, their home is not far from the prefect's home.

Qingshan wore ear protection, whipped the reins, and drove the horse forward.Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of Liang Mansion.

At this time, several cars were parked at the gate of the Liang family. They were all invited guests, queuing up to get out of the car and enter the house.

Bai Yunxi raised the curtain and took a look, and couldn't help but sigh. The prefect held a flower banquet, and all the prominent people in the city would receive the message.

As the top leader of the prefecture, no matter whether it was the family members of his subordinates or colleagues or local businessmen, they naturally wanted to have a relationship with the prefect, and the crowds were bustling.

I heard that Mr. Liang was courteous to the virtuous and corporal, and Mr. Liang Gong was virtuous and charitable. Every year during the Plum Blossom Banquet, he would send a message to the merchants' homes in the city, so that they could have the opportunity to sit with the officials and their families, enjoy flowers and have tea.

This dynasty was very hierarchical, and it was admirable for Liang Gong to abandon the rules and allow merchants to attend the banquet. She also gained the respect of those merchants, who said that she was worthy of being a noble lady in Kyoto, noble and noble, and treating everyone equally.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi curled her lips. Although she had only met the Liang Gong man once, she also knew that he was completely different from the rumors.

But as an official's family member and a virtuous wife of a prefect, it is reasonable to establish a personal image for oneself.

After all, backyard socializing can sometimes get twice the result with half the effort.
