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

When mentioning Confucian businessmen, Zhang Yishan was stunned, and the Xu Family Trading Company suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Mom is right, the person at the helm of the Xu family business is known as a Confucian businessman."

Hearing Zhang Yishan's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned and looked up at her.

"The Xu family you are talking about is the Xu family that runs the grain store?"

"It's them. The Xu family business has a wide range of business, and the grain store is just one of them. I heard that the Xu family owner operates with integrity, and he has an air of elegance. Although he is among the merchants, he is a rare breath of fresh air and is very popular among people. respect."

Listening to her daughter-in-law's explanation, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had always known that this girl was very resistant to merchants. She had lived in a scholarly family since she was a child, and she had been influenced by what she saw and heard. She adhered to the stratification of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and was at the bottom of the business class. , especially in the eyes of scholars, they are always inferior.

Every time I mentioned those merchant families, this girl always resisted.Unexpectedly, she also admired Confucian businessmen in her heart.

"I also know a little bit about the Xu Family Trading Company you mentioned. The Xu Family Grain Store in our town is their industry. Our family's grain in the past was also sold to the Xu Family Grain Store, and the management is indeed good."

Thinking of the Xu family, Bai Yunxi looked up at Zhang Yishan,
"I remember that the head of the Xu family's business also seems to live in Fucheng, but during the Liang family's wintersweet banquet, why didn't I hear the names of the Xu family?"

Given the status of the Xu family, it is supposed to be more prominent than the Zhou family and the Wang family, but Liang Gongren did not hear anyone mention the Xu family that day.

"Mom, at the wintersweet banquet, the eldest lady of the Xu family arrived with her daughter. They were talking to ladies they knew well, and I happened to listen to a few words. The temperament of the eldest lady of the Xu family is indeed different from that of other merchants, but I am not familiar with him. , and didn’t even go up to talk to me.”

Zhang Yishan was a little embarrassed when she mentioned the eldest wife of the Xu family.

"I had a few words with Miss Xu at that time. The girl was very elegant and generous. From her words, I could tell that she had studied."

Listening to Zhang Yishan's narration, Bai Yunxi nodded. It was not difficult to understand considering the Liang family's character of making money in private.

The Xu family may have simply sent a gift, so it is understandable that they were not taken seriously.

The 23th of the twelfth lunar month.

young.

Xiao Si led the convoy and finally arrived in Fucheng.

Seeing the whole family getting off the carriage in a dusty state, before Bai Yunxi could say anything, Mrs. Li rushed towards her and hugged her directly.
"Mom, I miss you so much. These days when you are not at home, we have no peace of mind."

Bai Yunxi was still a little unaccustomed to being hugged fiercely by Mrs. Li, so she raised her hand and patted her back.

"It's good to be here. It's been a hard journey."

Mrs. Li wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and suddenly felt embarrassed when she saw everyone in the circle staring at her.

"Although I was busy on the road, I didn't feel tired at all. The fourth brother did a good job as the team leader and never missed Sutou."

While talking, Bai Jingjing got out of the carriage with a child in his arms, walked up to Bai Yunxi, saluted, and said "mother" easily.

Zhuang Zhuang stared at her with his big eyes blinking. He hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and the little child was already a little familiar with her.

Bai Yunxi took Zhuangzhuang from her daughter and greeted them one by one.

His eyes fell on Cao Jianjian and he nodded to him.

Cao Jian cupped his hands and saluted.

"Don't stand at the door on a cold day. Go inside and warm yourself up."

"Mother is right. The second brother, the second sister-in-law, the third sister and the fourth brother have been tired from traveling all the way. Let's go in with mother to rest first."

Zhang Yishan stepped forward and agreed, then ordered someone to help unload the goods.The goods alone were loaded onto five pallets, which was estimated to be enough to last the shop for half a year.

Xiaosi waved his hand directly, "Fifth brother and sister, you're welcome, they are all family members."

After that, he directly urged my mother to go back to the yard to rest. He took his brothers to put the goods away before going over to talk.

Bai Yunxi did not object to this and led the people back to the Banyan Tree Hall. Aunt Zhu was afraid that she would be tired holding the baby, so she just wanted to take it over. Zhuang Zhuang turned around and hugged her grandma's neck and refused to let go, which aroused Bai Yunxi's curiosity. endlessly,
"This child is enlightened and knows grandma." Li was surprised.

"Although she is small, she should still have a memory based on the smell." Du Shi chuckled. When she was a child, her mother often held the baby in her arms to bask in the sun.

Everyone deeply believed this.

Entering the warm room, Mrs. Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My mother is finally home."

Listening to her sigh, Du Shi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Bai Yunxi looked at Li's relieved posture and smiled. When Li, a fool, came, the yard would definitely be more lively than before.

Aunt Zhu was afraid that Bai Yunxi would be tired holding the child, so she quickly asked Pomegranate to take it as soon as she entered the door.

Mrs. Du also quickly greeted Yaya,
"Go and get the two cloth tigers on my cabinet. They were specially sewn for your brother."

"Oh, look at my eldest niece. I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She has grown a lot taller. Look at her little face, which is rosy. She is a perfect beauty."

When the maid brought the tea, Mrs. Li picked it up, drank it, took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

"Mom, you don't know that my third sister and I stay at home every day and stare at each other. Without you by our side, we can't get excited about anything."

Bai Anjing sat next to her obediently, looking at her second sister-in-law's carefree look, pursed her lips and smiled. Anyway, she couldn't say anything in front of so many people.

Bai Yunxi looked at Mrs. Li, the smile on her face never broke.

"Since you like me so much, then stay here and don't leave. When the second child goes back for spring plowing after the new year, you can stay with me with Zhuangzhuang."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li hesitated, thought seriously for a while, and nodded.

"Sure, at worst I'll be like the fourth brother, running in both directions. Since the fourth brother is delivering goods back and forth, I'll just hitch a ride and it won't be a big deal."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room burst into laughter, and Mrs. Li looked dumbfounded.

What's wrong?Is what she said wrong?
Aunt Zhu was standing nearby. No wonder the old lady couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned the second wife. She was indeed a happy nut.

As soon as Mrs. Li and the others arrived, the house became visibly lively, and there was constant laughter in the banyan tree hall.

It wasn't until the girls boiled the water that Baiyun Xi sent them to wash up and rest, and then eat together in the evening.

After the goods were unloaded in the front yard, the second son hurried to the Banyan Tree Hall. As soon as he entered the house, he knelt down towards the Baiyun River.
"Mom, I'm here."

Seeing the posture of the second child, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Get up quickly. You've been tired from the journey. There's no need to give this big gift."

Bai Anyan kowtowed to his mother before sitting in the chair next to him and scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Actually, Mrs. Li is right. Mom and her sister-in-law... Oh no, after bringing my sister-in-law and the others to Fucheng, the family always felt empty. Now that they are finally together, my son feels that the family is reunited and at ease. It’s like a home.”

The family was used to being together, but he was not used to it being suddenly separated. (End of chapter)
