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

"Mother likes to be quiet. In addition, the weather is cold and she gets tired easily. She should be taking a nap now. Madam Zhou, I thanked my mother for her kindness. When the weather gets warmer and the old lady feels better, she will definitely invite everyone to visit her house. .”

Yes, I pointed it to her until next year.

Mrs. Zhou was not angry even if she was rejected. She was very arrogant as an official.

“It’s true that you get tired easily as you get older, and you can’t stand the cold, so you have to take good care of yourself.”

Looking at the lady from Zhizhou sitting in the first place, although she is not very old, she has an outstanding temperament and speaks in a very organized manner. She is indeed a noble girl, different from business women like them.

The two talked politely for a while, and after a moment of greetings, Mrs. Zhou stood up and left.

Zhang Yishan ordered Gingxing to send the people to the gate again, watched them leave, and then came back to resume her life.

"Master, as you expected, after Mrs. Zhou left, there were indeed people around her who also left."

"Ms. Zhou came to the door with great fanfare with gifts. No matter what she was thinking, if she didn't accept the gift, she would not be caught and made a fuss, so as not to be imitated and cause trouble to the officials."

Those people were also waiting and watching, they just wanted to see if Mrs. Zhou could successfully enter the mansion.

When the time comes, they can learn from each other, but if they have a handle, it will be difficult to escape.

Now that it's fine, even though people have entered, they haven't received any gifts, so they should be worried, right?
Wang family hall,

The couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Wang turned to stare at the young boy who was reporting below.

"Are you sure you didn't bring any gifts?"

"Back to Madam Zhou, please promise me that Mrs. Zhou originally asked someone to carry the gifts in, but was stopped by the girl from Zhizhou Mansion. Only Mrs. Zhou entered the mansion alone."

Listening to the boy's report, Mrs. Wang walked up and down the hall with a sullen face, and finally stopped in front of her man.
"Master, what do you mean by the Bai family? Do you want to tell us that they are clean and honest and don't charge money?"

Hearing this, the head of the Wang family raised his head and laughed,

"There is no one who doesn't love money. If you don't accept it, either the gift is not what you want, or there are other reasons why you can't accept it."

"The master's words are polite, and I feel that no one's eyes will shine when you give them free money. Now that the Zhou family has come to visit, our family cannot lag behind."

"But the Zhou family's gifts were not sent in."

Mother Wang squinted her eyes, thinking deeply.

Mrs. Wang held the handkerchief and walked around the hall a few more times before stopping.
"Master, how about we don't come to the door and just deliver the gifts directly?"

"Is this possible? We are not familiar with the Bai family after all, so it would be inappropriate to be too rash."

"Master, I feel like this is great. There is no need to embarrass each other, and they can feel at ease. Wouldn't it be easier to talk to each other when we meet again in the future?"

The head of the Wang family sat on a chair, pondered for a moment, then patted the table.
"Okay, let's give it a try. I'll go to the warehouse to choose some gifts for you. Don't be careless the first time."

"Master, in addition to the souvenirs, we will separately prepare 2000 taels of silver notes and have the housekeeper hand them over to them in person."

The head of the Wang family hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. The Liang family had already given away a lot, and this was not enough.

What's more, Master Zhizhou is a popular person in the city. If they can make friends with him, it will only be good for their family.

the next morning,
Baiyunxi heard that Du's was making pastries again, so she went to see the excitement. Just as she was about to try it out, she heard the girl report that a pile of gifts had been piled up in the front yard.

"Old lady, Qingshan said it was sent by the Wang family in the city." Shiliu pointed to Qingshan who was waiting at the door.

Bai Yunxi put down her sleeves, called Qingshan in, and followed her back to the hall.
"What's going on? Tell me carefully."

"Old lady, I heard someone knocking on the door. When I opened it, I saw that these people were just moving things in the yard regardless of Sanqi 21." Qingshan stood in the hall with a sad face. He is still in a daze.

Is gift giving so wild now?
Originally, when the Zhou family came to the door, his mistress told him to watch the door carefully and not allow anyone to come in easily.

But those people suddenly knocked on the door, rushed into the yard carrying the things without saying a word, put them down and ran, catching him off guard.

Listening to Qingshan's complaints, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the box in his arms, and raised his eyebrows.

"What are you holding in your hands?"

Qingshan looked back at the mahogany box in his arms and went up respectfully.
"The palace steward thrust it into my hand and told me to give it to you. By the time I chased him out, the man in the carriage had already disappeared. I had no choice but to come over and recover."

Looking at the red lacquer box, Bai Yunxi looked at it for a moment, then pressed the wooden bolt next to it, and the box popped open automatically.

There were several banknotes lying in the box, all with denominations of five hundred and one. Baiyunxi was a little bit dumbfounded.

The Wang family is really very courageous. Do they really dare to send money to their door?

For no reason, how could he be so sure that he would accept it if it was delivered to him?
Zhang Yishan stood nearby, her face changed drastically when she saw the banknotes in the box.

"Mom, how dare the Wang family be so bold."

"You are brave enough."

Baiyunxi closed the lid and knocked on the mahogany box.

With a click of the tongue, he directly ordered Aunt Zhu,
"Prepare the carriage, load the gifts, and take this box back to the Wang family."

Although she likes money, she prefers what she earns with her own hands.

How can there be happiness in life by collecting money from others for their filial piety and letting others lead the way?

Mammy Zhu agreed, called Dongye and Dongxue, and called Qingshan to go to the front yard together.

Zhang Yishan looked at her mother-in-law with a bad expression.

"Mom, will the Wang family's behavior affect the officials?"

"No, the Wang family must have made this move after seeing the Zhou family come to their door. Today we will return the gifts intact. Those people will know better and won't dare to come again easily."

How can others dare to act rashly if we address the root cause?

If you annoy people, they will be the unlucky ones in the end.

"That's good."

Zhang Yishan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have a good impression of those merchants to begin with, and now she even disliked them.

If the officials get into trouble because of them, their hearts will be torn.

"You really can't mess with the Merchant's House. Everyone is covered in hot sticky skin. You haven't done anything yet, but you are so bold. If you give me some face, you might break the whole sky."

Seeing Zhang Yishan's frightened look, Bai Yunxi patted her hand.

"There is no distinction between high and low professions. There is a reason for existence. It is said that the best will be the best in one's profession, and the same is true in business. But no matter which profession, there are some low-level people. As long as we keep ourselves clean and think more about everything, even if we encounter trouble, we can easily solve it."

"Among businessmen, there are also admirable Confucian merchant families. They follow the principles of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, and there are many who have made fortunes and strengthened their ethnic groups."
