Chapter 651: Our Ancestors All Like Boys

Although Baiyunxi can go in, she doesn't want to go to a place like the ancestral hall. Anyway, she doesn't really belong to the Bai family at heart. Why go to meet other people's ancestors?

What if some of her ancestors came to her at night and scolded her for occupying a magpie's nest?

"Mom, you really don't want to go?" Bai Anjing wiped his hands and said worriedly.

"It's enough with your cousin, so I won't make any more trouble."

Baiyunshan and Xiaosi and Xiaowu cleaned the ancestral hall in advance and wiped all the altar tables clean.

Mrs. Zhang came over to help her prepare the offerings. As for Mrs. Zheng, apart from her nice words, she had not seen anyone at all since that day.

Just prepare all the required offerings and don’t want to participate in anything else.

Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter's low bun, with the silver hairpin she bought on it, and the small fabric flowers she made on her temples, arranged in order. The one reaching her ear was only the size of a fingernail, not to mention, it was so pretty.

Although there were many kinds of buns in this period, the most popular among country people were various low buns, mainly so as not to delay work.

Li and Du also wore low buns. They were both wrapped in their favorite headscarves and fixed with silver hairpins. They were clean and neat, and had a unique style.

Even Yaya has two buns tied with several brightly colored tassel straps and small bells tied at the end, which looks cute and tight.

Looking at the new clothes and appearance of the family, Bai Yunxi raised his hand and stroked her bun. It was also a low bun, but it was on the back of her head and paired with two silver hairpins. It was dignified and steady, suitable for her age.

Mrs. Song Wang, who came to help, had just left her house when she saw the Bai family members going to the ancestral hall. She didn't find Bai Yunxi in the crowd, so she couldn't help but frown, quickened her pace and ran towards the Bai family.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Baiyunxi watering the flowers with a homemade watering can. She opened her mouth and started chanting,

"Hey, when can't you water the flowers? Why don't you go with such a big event like offering sacrifices? Xiao Wu is your own son. How can there be any reason for a mother not to go to worship ancestors? You let others steal the limelight."

Mrs. Song said, grabbing the watering can from her hand and putting it on the flower bed, staring at her angrily.

Seeing Mrs. Song's anxious look, Bai Yunxi patted her hand and said comfortingly,

"There are already enough people going there. The ancestral hall is such a big area and it's so crowded. Besides, I'm not interested in activities like offering sacrifices."

Seeing Mrs. Song's disapproval, Bai Yunxi shrugged her shoulders innocently and joked to herself,

"My ancestors usually like male dolls, so I won't join in the fun."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's unreasonable tone, Mrs. Song glared at her speechlessly, "I thought something went wrong again, but it turns out you don't want to go.

Thinking of her worries, Mrs. Song couldn't help but laugh. That was all in the past, but now this Baiyunxi is not easy to mess with. Coupled with Xiaowu's status as a scholar, the Bai family members do not dare to embarrass their orphans and widowed mothers.

"You don't take such an important thing seriously. If it were anyone else, you might not be able to get the limelight. After all, ancestor worship is a big deal, and it's your own child. As a mother, no one is willing to give up such a good opportunity."

Hearing Wang Wang's disapproving tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,

"Whether I go or not, I am still the mother of the scholar. This cannot change... The day after the scholar from Xiaowu Middle School came back, we went to his father's grave to comfort Yunhui's spirit in the sky. As for the ancestors, the descendants of the Bai family are so There are many, no less than me.”

After hearing Bai Yunxi's explanation, Song Wang was stunned, thought for a moment, and finally agreed.

"That's true. Since you know what's going on, I won't say any more and go to help. Today is a big day for your family and you are the matron of the house. All you have to do is treat guests decently. "

Mrs. Song said, tied her own apron on her body, turned around and went to the kitchen.

At the same time, Mrs. Zhang also entered the door in a hurry.

"I'm not late, am I?"

"It's early, don't worry."

Bai Yunxi looked at the apron at Zhang's waist and flattered her with a smile.

"My cousin sister-in-law has to work hard today. When the banquet is over, we sisters can have a good drink."

"That's a good idea. Let's get drunk later, haha..." Mrs. Zhang laughed and went straight to the kitchen.

The head of the family has already said that the people coming to my cousin's house today are all important people, so they must be treated well and cannot be neglected.

Bai Yunxi looked at her neat posture and followed her to the kitchen with a smile.

Looking at the nieces and nephews of the same clan working in the kitchen, these people were hired with the help of Mrs. Zhang. They are all hard-working people and good at work.

Today's chefs, in addition to Du and Zhang, are both good at cooking. With good ingredients, it is definitely a luxurious version of home cooking.

Originally, she was thinking of going to the town to invite a chef to come and serve as a sign of importance. Later, when I thought about it, the dean and Chang Xiucai were both scholars, with a noble and refined spirit.

Such people can't stand extravagance and extravagance. If she goes too far, it will put the cart before the horse and make people think that her family is exaggerated and not simple enough.

Treating guests with more authentic home-cooked dishes can really highlight the integrity of students from poor families like them.

After much deliberation, Bai Yunxi still handed over the task of taking charge to Du and Zhang. It was enough for them to cooperate.

Moreover, she has already tried several hard dishes, and they taste really good.

Just as they were chatting, little girl Yaya ran over in a pink dress.

"Grandma, there are guests at the door. It's a mule cart."

Bai Yunxi subconsciously glanced at the time. Who would come so early?

Thinking about it, Bai Yunxi still walked quickly to the door with Yaya. As soon as she went out, she saw Chang Xiucai helping a woman get off the mule cart, followed closely by a girl in pink and purple clothes.

"Welcome, Mr. Xiucai."

Bai Yunxi walked forward, leaned forward slightly, greeted Chang Xiucai first, and then looked at the mother and daughter beside him, waiting for the introduction. Although she could guess the other party's identity, she didn't remember this person. Just in case, she didn't speak.

Chang Xiucai saw Bai Yunxi coming and nodded slightly.

"You are welcome, sister-in-law. This is my wife, Mrs. Meng, and my daughter, Sister Hui. I learned that you were hosting a banquet today and was afraid that there would not be enough people, so I brought them here to help in advance. Mrs. Meng is usually at home and occasionally prepares banquets. She is quite good at it. If you don't mind, you can discuss it with her if you have anything."

"Yunhui and I are as close as brothers, and I also regard Xiaowu as my own son. Sister-in-law, don't be restrained. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

As soon as Chang Xiucai finished speaking, Mrs. Meng stepped forward and held Bai Yunxi's hand, smiling gently.
