Chapter 648 She Has Thought About the Future Head of the Family
The old man looked back at his niece's front door, feeling very complicated.
It’s different!
Their main branch is probably going to be suppressed again.
Bai Yunxi sent the person to the door and watched the three of them go away before sighing and looking at the Song Wang family helplessly.
"I don't have the nerve to open my mouth like this. No one else is here. How can you have the nerve to open your mouth?"
"You're right. You should refuse. Once you agree, there will be countless troubles in the future. Some people will help you once and they will do it a second time. There will always be a time when you can't help. At that time, you still have to help. People are offended.”
Mrs. Song shook her head. She had not missed the resentment in Mrs. Zheng's eyes just now. No matter how much you help her, this kind of person will never miss you. If you fail to treat her once, people can still resent you.
Therefore, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you refuse at the beginning, you will have less trouble in the future.
Listening to Mrs. Song's comfort, Bai Yunxi shrugged her shoulders innocently.
"You are right. Since you are offended sooner or later, there really is no difference between earlier and later."
Mrs. Song comforted her with a few words, and seeing that it was already dusk, she turned and left.
Xiao Wu, who had been silent from beginning to end, looked at Bai Yunxi's slightly frowning brows and stepped forward to comfort him,
"Don't worry, Mom. The teacher has always been principled and he never allows anything that goes against the rules. Otherwise, the teacher wouldn't be admired by others."
Bai Yunxi has no doubt about this. As a great scholar, he naturally follows principles.
Because of this, if she showed up, she would be asking for trouble.
"Even if the dean agrees, we can't cause trouble to others. Your enrollment as a disciple is just a verbal promise, and there is no formal enrollment. Everything is still variable. When will it be finalized, will my mother take it to heart? ”
Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and curled her lips.
"In this world, the most difficult thing to repay is a debt of favor. Don't owe it lightly, especially if you owe it to others. Avoid it if you can. Besides, we just met the dean. No matter how good your father's relationship with others is, it is not suitable to overdo it. consumption.”
"So, we should not owe you any favors, both emotional and rational. Also, that Anbang Niang is not optimistic about it. A person who can take the exam for four or five years as a child may not have much hope in his official career, but we can't say this Say it, otherwise you will make your aunt in the lobby resentful."
Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and sighed softly,
"Fortunately, we have been separated from your uncle's family for a long time. Everyone knows it, but no one has pierced the window paper. Let's just live together in a neutral way. We all live in the same village. , we are still relatives of the same clan, it would not look good if we really break up."
Bai Yunxi smiled helplessly. During this period, the clan members were still very important. Even if they moved away from the village, they would still have to pay and provide food to show their sincerity without showing up.
If you ignore everything, you will definitely have more troubles. Therefore, she can still accept being treated indifferently.
We are all adults, not children, and we look like enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet.
After listening to his mother's explanation, Xiao Wu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"A son is not as good as his mother when it comes to worldliness."
"You are still young, and everything is focused on study. Normally, it would be better not to let you participate in these chores at home, but my mother feels that the future head of this family must be your wife. So, occasionally let you know something, There’s no harm in doing that.”
Ever since the news about Du's return to her parents' home came up, she gave up the idea of letting her take care of the house.
Now that Xiaowu has become a scholar and has become a famous teacher, it is hard to say where he will go in the future. No matter what, Xiao Wu's wife must be better than the Du family and Li family. If she learned the business from her family, it would be the icing on the cake for Xiao Wu.
Moreover, in the future, Xiao Wu will be the main person in the family's interpersonal relationships, so it is natural for his wife to take care of everything.
It is said that if a husband and wife are of the same mind, their strength will break through metal.
Listening to his mother's plan, Xiao Wu was stunned and said, "Mom, it's early for me to get married. Is it too early for you to start planning now?"
"Why is it so early? You are already seventeen this year. If you hadn't been studying, my mother would have found a marriage for you long ago."
Bai Yunxi looked at his slightly red face. After all, he was still a young man, and it was still a bit unnatural to talk about his life-long events.
"You should study hard and strive to gain the honor of being a civil servant. When the time comes, my mother will find you a well-matched wife, the kind who is well-educated and reasonable. You two can help each other together. Only by working side by side can such a marriage last. Not tiring.”
Bai Yunxi said, looking at Xiao Wu's thoughtful look, he almost curled up the corners of his lips and turned around to go back to his room.
Staring at his mother's back, Xiao Wu pursed his lips, and after a while he turned around and went back to his room to sort out the books he brought back.
Next, it’s Busy Xiaowu’s celebration banquet.
From purchasing ingredients to tables, chairs and benches, the whole family is busy.
After the date was set, the menu was prepared, and the number of people invited was listed, Baiyunxi asked Xiao Wu to write the invitations. In order to show respect and sincerity, he had to send the invitations in person.
Bai Yunxi sat on a chair, looked at the list, and looked up at Xiao Wu, "Dean Zhang and Chang Xiucai, you go and send the invitations yourself, and the ones in the village belong to me."
"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Xiao Wu nodded, looked at the two bright red invitations, pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, "Mom, would you like to send one to Senior Xie?"
"Xie Yu?"
Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment. That guy was the rich man of the county magistrate's family. Is it appropriate to send him an invitation?
"We don't have any friendship with him, so let's forget it so as not to cause trouble."
"Okay, I'll be prepared. If I meet him, I'll invite him to the banquet. If I don't meet him, forget it." Somehow, he always had a premonition that he and Xie Dalangjun had a close relationship.
Bai Yunxi didn't have any objections to Xiao Wu's decision. The man was so elusive that if he encountered him and asked him, he would appear to be indifferent on his part.
"Tomorrow I will ask Wenyou to drive you there in an ox cart, and there will be someone to look after you on the way."
"Just let Renyi follow. Sister Wen is my goddaughter, and I don't need her to protect me. Besides, Renyi has already learned how to drive a carriage, so I just want him to practice this time."
Thinking of Wenyou's cold personality, Xiao Wu curled his lips. Except for my mother, Sister Wen is indifferent to all of them in this family. Of course, her personality is also part of it. But when she was with her mother, she looked completely different.
After hearing Xiao Wu's plan, Bai Yunxi thought about it and didn't object.
Just as they were taking action, Xiao Si rushed in with his head.
"Write me an invitation and I'll give it to Shunzi so that he and his wife can join in the fun."
Du Shun got married, and now the young couple are running a salty goods shop together. Just as they originally expected, the couple's shop is running smoothly.
