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

After the two talked, the Liang family and Bai Yunxi no longer wanted to worry about it. Seeing that the New Year's Eve was getting closer, they were worried about when Xiao Si and the others would arrive in Fucheng.

The weather is so cold. I wonder if children can adapt to it on the road?

"Clean the west wing and let the second and second children live in it. The room on the right side of the main house is for quiet use. The charcoal fire has been lit in the past few days to warm the room."

"Don't worry, Master. We have packed it up a few days ago. They are all new bedding. We are just waiting for the Second Master and the others to come."

He didn't wait for Lao Er and the others to come over, but waited until the Zhou family came to the door.

"Master, Qingshan said that Mrs. Zhou is asking to see you at the door with a gift."

Bai Yunxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, coming to the door now?

I have to say, these people can really climb along the pole.

"Tell the fifth daughter-in-law that Mrs. Zhou can come in to drink tea and talk, but leave the gifts at the door."

If the guess is correct, there must be many people squatting around her house, waiting to see their attitude.

Whenever the Zhou family's large and small bags came through the door and were passed out, they might be talking about the Bai family behind their backs.

Originally, she felt that it was unreasonable for Liang Gongren to specially introduce the Zhou family to her.

Due to the rules, a business woman was not qualified to show her face in front of her. She could say hello calmly and it was already polite.

Now they suddenly come to the door again without even sending a message. They must be worried that they will refuse.

Nowadays, if people are at the door, if they avoid seeing them, it will appear that they do not understand etiquette.

After receiving the order, Nanny Zhu rushed to Haitang Garden to convey Baiyun Xi's intention.

Zhang Yishan nodded, "Mom, go back and tell mother, I know what's going on."

She originally had a bad impression of the Zhou family and the Wang family.On weekdays, when I go to their shop to buy things, I get all the money and goods, no one owes anything to anyone, and I don’t feel anything.

If I were to date them, I really wouldn’t have such thoughts in my mind.

Not only was the merchant difficult to deal with, her husband told her the day before yesterday that she should be careful when talking to merchants to avoid being deceived.

"Ginkgo, you go to the door to welcome Mrs. Zhou in. You don't have to take the gifts or anything in, and you save yourself unnecessary trouble."

"Yes,"

Ginkgo got the order and headed to the gate with a woman in tow.

Mrs. Zhou stood beside the carriage, wearing a brocade cloak and a gold hairpin on her head. When she saw Ginkgo coming out, she immediately stepped forward with a smile and nodded slightly.

"Thank you girl for coming to greet me."

As he said that, he put the purse in his hand into her hand.

Feeling the weight of her purse, Ginkgo was startled and immediately pushed it back.

"My wife invites Mrs. Zhou to come in and talk."

Seeing the other party return the purse, Mrs. Zhou was surprised and said, "Girl, please don't refuse. Let me buy flowers for you if you show your kindness."

Usually when she went to the Liang Mansion as a guest, the girls and women looked at her eagerly, hoping to get some benefits from her.This is the first time I have been rejected, which is quite new.

Ginkgo stood up straight, raised her chin slightly, spoke in a gentle tone, and smiled on her face.
"Mrs. Zhou, you're welcome. Please come inside."

She is the maid next to her master and cannot embarrass him.

"The girl is really different from others."

Mrs. Zhou chuckled lightly and handed the purse to the girl behind her. "Bring me the gift I carefully prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Ginkgo.
"My wife has said that Mrs. Zhou can just go in and talk. No need to give gifts or anything like that."

Walking in empty-handed?

How does this work?
After Aunt Zhou was stunned, she looked at Ginkgo's serious eyes and then smiled coquettishly,
"There's no reason to come empty-handed as a guest. If word spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh and say I don't understand etiquette?"

Ginkgo glanced at her,
Is it too late to talk about etiquette now?

You really don't know etiquette if you come to your door without saying hello.

After thinking about it, Ginkgo still had a smile on her face.

"Madam Zhou has not met my master very often, and we don't know him well. My eldest lady never pays attention to these false etiquette."

After that, he took a step to the side and invited people in.

Seeing that she didn't mean to joke, Aunt Zhou didn't dare to bring the gift in. She had not had much contact with the Bai family, and she really didn't know the other person's temperament.

It's a bit reckless to rush forward to give gifts.

As Ginkgo walked all the way to Haitang Garden and entered the hall, he saw Madam Zhizhou sitting in the first place and quickly bowed down.

"The fifth lady is fine. I came in rashly and caused trouble to you."

Zhang Yishan raised her hand and said, "Ms. Zhou, you are polite. Please sit down."

After Cao Guo served tea to the other party, Zhang Yishan spoke.
"I wonder if there is something wrong with Madam Zhou's sudden visit."

Listening to Zhang Yishan's straight to the point, Madam Zhou concealed the discomfort in her eyes.

"To be honest, we heard about Lord Zhizhou as soon as he entered the city. We wanted to pay him a visit, but were afraid of disturbing him. Since I saw the old lady and the fifth lady in Liang Mansion, I admire them very much. I can't sit still at home. , so he came to the door rashly. I hope the fifth lady will forgive me."

"I see, Mrs. Zhou doesn't know that our old lady rarely goes out after washing herself."

"No wonder it's so rare for me to meet you on the street. Bai Yiren is graceful and elegant. It's understandable that he doesn't like mess. Unlike us who run a shop, we deal with people every day and can't be clean even if we want to."

Mrs. Zhou said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and giggling.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. As a merchant family, we don't have so many rules. We just try to be harmonious and make money in everything. If there is anything rude, please bear with me, Madam Five."

As businessmen, they know how to look at people's faces. Officials don't like to make friends with merchants for fear of lowering their status, and they know this in their hearts.

But having said that, these people don't like their identities, but they like the money in their hands, and their behavior is equally ridiculous.

When she went out today, she prepared an exquisite Suzhou embroidered purse, which contained the thoughts of the Zhou family.But thinking about what happened at the door, she didn't dare to take out her purse.

During their first official meeting, the behavior of the Bai family made her confused. People were already here, so why not let her bring in the gift?

Thinking about it, I understand. After all, this is my first time visiting, so it’s understandable that people have concerns.

Fortunately, things get familiar once and twice, maybe next time it will be fine.

Who makes them merchants? In the eyes of officials, they are always inferior.

The two sat in the hall and talked for a few words and exchanged greetings.Mrs. Zhou suggested that she go visit Baiyun River.
"The last time I saw Yiren, it was always unforgettable. There were so many people at that time, and I didn't say a few words. It's a pity. I'm lucky enough to come to visit you today, so I should go and say hello to Yiren."

She firmly believes that people's feelings come from within, and as long as she is sincere, she will be able to impress people sooner or later.

After listening to Mrs. Zhou's suggestion, Zhang Yishan glanced at her and shook her head gently.
