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

Watching the two people walking away, Wu Anren shook his head and turned to look at Baiyun Xi.

"Everyone's circle is different, and their way of speaking is also different. Businessmen put profits first, and their words and actions will inevitably reveal a bit of philistinism. Although it sounds uncomfortable, it has clearer intentions than those pitfalls that people are hard to guard against. "

Listening to Wu Anren's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement,

"What you said is really good. To attract business, you must be warm and hospitable to attract people. No customer likes to be treated coldly."

The women Liang Gongren mentioned in front of her today were all merchants in the city.It was easy to give her directly to these people as a favor.

She was only confused at first, but she understood after hearing the voices of Zhou and Wang.

It is also your duty to accept the money given by others and help them expand their contacts.

As for whether it can be successful, the strings have been pulled and the bridge has been built. If you are not good at it, you can't blame others.

Success, Liang Mansion is the benefactor of those merchants, and they naturally follow Magistrate Liang's lead.

Otherwise, as the prefect's wife, there is no reason to let down her figure like this.

If she hadn't heard the two people taunting and wary of each other, she would have really thought that the prefect's wife was an anomaly among noble ladies, regardless of her status. After all, she was naive.

However, she was still curious. Is pushing those merchants towards her just to help others connect people?
Do you want her to join the others or dig a hole for her to jump into?
Either way, she refused.

Since we are not the same person, it would be better to end the relationship as early as possible.

Looking at the ladies gathered in twos and threes in the plum garden, listening to their whispers and laughter, the atmosphere was actually warm and joyful.

What a pity, in such an atmosphere, everyone has their own little Jiujiu hidden in their hearts. They are either testing each other while talking and laughing, or taking the opportunity to find out information.

One word, tired.

Everyone came to the door with their own ideas, their heads were always awake, and they wanted to talk three times before spitting out a sentence.

To be honest, apart from being tiring, Baiyun Xi really couldn't see any other benefits from this kind of banquet.

The key point is that as a wife of an official, this kind of banquet is indispensable and cannot be isolated, otherwise it will have some impact on the marriage of the children in the family.

This is the social circle of officials and ladies, where they have to be wary of each other and communicate with each other.

Advantages: exercise the flexibility of the brain.

The disadvantage is that it consumes brain cells.

The weather was cold, and the young girls were very interested in wandering around the plum garden. They enjoyed it very much.

The older ones couldn't stand the cold, so they took a few symbolic steps, commented on the wintersweet trees in the garden, and said a few compliments, then they went back to the hall to talk and drink tea to warm their bodies.

Those whom Liang Gongren praised were businesswomen. They walked around the garden in high spirits and appeared to be able to chat in front of the officials and their families with ease.

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, things look pretty good on the surface.

When they are guests in other people's houses, the hosts treat these people a little bit, so naturally they don't dare to neglect them.

Who said that in the entire city, only the prefect has a high official position?

Baiyunxi didn't want to go back and sit around, so she and Wu Anren walked slowly in the flat area of ​​the plum garden, smelling the fragrance of flowers and listening to the silver bell-like laughter of the girls, which made her mood much more cheerful.

It wasn't until the banquet started that everyone was led to their seats by the maid.

Looking at the dishes in front of me, it was just as Bai Yunxi thought, exquisite and beautiful.The cold dishes looked pretty, and no one touched them at all. The hot dishes were brought from the kitchen to the banquet, and the temperature dropped by more than half. Everyone took a symbolic taste and put down their chopsticks to rest their stomachs.

No one comes to this kind of banquet just for the food.

After Baiyunxi tasted a few hot dishes, he also put down his chopsticks. How should I put it, it was light, the ingredients were well selected, and the cook was also capable. The key was that the food was delayed for a long time and the original taste was lost.

Until the end of the banquet, the dishes on the table were almost the same.

Everyone moved to the hall to drink tea and continue chatting.Some of them couldn't reach the top, so they could only sit there, looking a little anxious.

Bai Yunxi glanced at her daughter-in-law, stood up,
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, Mr. Kyou. It's getting late, so we won't disturb you."

Except for Liang Gongren, she was the highest-ranking person at the banquet. If she didn't leave first, the others would be embarrassed to get up first.

"This is the first time Yiren is here. Why don't you sit there for a while? I see you really like the wintersweet in my garden. Do you want to go shopping again?"

After listening to Liang Gongren's suggestion, Bai Yunxi smiled and shook his head.
"Jingren is warm and hospitable, but I also know that hosting a banquet requires a lot of effort and energy. I am very tired at the end of the day. How can we keep bothering you?"

Ever since he learned that she was taking the opportunity to make money, Bai Yunxi wished he could stay away from her to avoid being implicated.

"Thank you for your understanding. Let's get together again when we have the opportunity."

Gongren stood up, personally escorted the person to the second door, and then ordered his mother-in-law to lead him out.

Sure enough, before she got on the carriage and walked far, there were carriages leaving one after another at the gate of Liang Mansion.

Leaning on the soft cushion, Bai Yunxi looked at Zhang Yishan.

"How's it going? Didn't you encounter anything difficult?"

Listening to her mother-in-law's question, Zhang Yishan shook her head.

"I've been staying with the Wu sisters, but nothing happened. It's just that the merchant girls who came up to talk were a bit difficult."

The key is that they are thick-skinned, and even though they refused politely several times, they pretended they didn't understand, which also left people speechless.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's helpless tone, Bai Yunxi smiled and said,
"Children of merchant families have been learning about business since they were young. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, they naturally put interests first. Officials attach great importance to rules, and merchants are interested in interests. This has been the case since ancient times."

Because most of the marriages between them were marriages between merchants, it was also their responsibility to learn the ways of business.

Zhang Yishan nodded. No matter where you were born, you all have your own responsibilities, and you understand that.

"The Plum Garden is connected to another garden. I heard that Magistrate Liang loved the Baisong Garden, and the sons who attended the banquet in the front yard all recited poems and wrote poems in the Baisong Garden. I don't know which girl suggested that we go and explore it, but the group ended up in the Baisong Garden. The mother-in-law blocked the entrance to the garden, saying that there were male guests there and it was not convenient for the girls to go there and play."

She is a married woman, so she naturally does not participate in this kind of pursuit, but she also knows that this kind of behavior is very inappropriate.

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows. In addition to the ladies of official families, the girls who came today also included many business girls.

She could more or less guess what was going on in her heart, but to the host family, it would be embarrassing if any jokes were made during the banquet.

Liang Gongren was such a shrewd person, so he had naturally taken precautions.

"When you are a guest in someone else's house, you should avoid walking around without permission and being very curious. Of course, you can't be fooled by others and ruin the host's banquet, otherwise you will easily be resented by others."

"What mother said is that the proposed girl's behavior is very inappropriate."
