Chapter 575: End of Mourning Period

"It's really good with rice, and it's chewy." Li agreed, picked up a piece of bacon and put it into her mouth, savoring it carefully.

"Fish meat with fermented black beans, full of flavor." Bai Yunxi tasted it, the only drawback was that it was tiring for the teeth, and she had to drink water after the meal.

"It's delicious, but a little salty..." Bai Anjing ate the fish quickly, looked at the fourth brother and spoke softly.

The fourth brother was silent, salty goods, what kind of salty goods is it if it's not salty?

"Mother, what do you think of our business?"

"Salted goods shop, durable to store, can supplement the lack of vegetables in winter, and is also suitable as dry food. People like escorts and porters who travel long distances should like it more, this business can be done."

"Hehe... I knew that mother would agree.

The fourth brother was so happy that he jumped up and down, and he wanted to go to the town immediately to report the good news to Shunzi.

When her son started his own business for the first time, Bai Yunxi did not discourage his enthusiasm. She gave him ten strings of money and asked him to prepare.

"Mom, these are not enough..."

Before he could finish, Bai Yunxi interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"Since it is a business, there are many places to spend money. It is easier to do things with more money. When you make money, just give it back to me."

"Hey~, don't worry, I will work hard."

Watching the boy run back to his room with the money, Bai Yunxi was not prepared to participate in how he did business.

When he went to the town, he met Manager Du. The man smiled and praised Xiao Si a few words, saying that he had a lot of drive and might become a big businessman in the future.

In response, Bai Yunxi could only politely greet him a few words. They were just children fighting and fighting. How far they could go, let's wait and see.

In addition, she only wanted her son to manage the household affairs, not to become a businessman.

In the following days, the boy ran back and forth between home and town, and was busy every day.

During this period, the Song family had another quarrel because Song Jie passed the examination for a scholar. The two brothers of the Song family were unwilling to accept it and did not want to separate the family, saying that it was also their contribution that Song Jie passed the examination for a scholar.

They could not be excluded from the family because of the separation.

At this time, Song Wangshi directly stood up to oppose, saying that they would only hinder their son's study, and there was no reason to merge after the separation.

Finally, after a quarrel, Song Wangshi's biggest concession was to let the fields of the two families be registered under Song Jie's name to help them exempt from taxes.

Everything else was off the table.

If it were before, the two brothers would certainly have made a big fuss, but now they dared not offend Song Jie, so they could only agree with a pinch of their noses.

In the Song State, a scholar could be exempted from taxes on 50 mu of land and one person could only perform corvée.

The Song family was already lucky to be able to register the fields under his name.

Spring went and autumn came, and another year passed in hesitation.

Bai Yunxi counted on her fingers. She had been here for three years, and this body was thirty-nine years old.

The summer was coming, and the Bai family's mourning period was over.

Bai Yunxi looked at the children who had been plain for three years, and asked Wenyou to harness the ox cart and take her daughter and daughter-in-law to the county. With a wave of her hand, each of them was given a new dress, a silver hairpin, and a pair of silver earrings.

Mrs. Du liked calm and plain colors, and she chose peacock green fabric for her dress.

Mrs. Li liked bright colors, so she chose apricot red fabric, and even then she asked her sister-in-law to help embroider a few big red peonies to match the color.

The daughter was timid and embarrassed to choose, so Bai Yunxi bought the green color she had been eyeing. The green was blue, giving people a sense of clarity and purity.

As for Wenyou, she still wore the cool duck egg green color. She said she was used to it and liked to change colors.
