Chapter 735 She Can’t Go to the Banquet

Looking at the things in front of him, Ma Ruren felt extremely depressed, but he still had to pretend to be helpless on his face.

"It's really sad. I'm not satisfied with any of these styles. Compared with these ordinary styles, I still like the red sandalwood auspicious cloud hairpin. It has a good meaning and is more suitable for the elderly.˜"*°•.˜˜.•°*" ˜It’s such a pity, it’s my fault, it would have been better if I had come earlier.”

Listening to Ma Ruren's pityful tone, Shopkeeper Su could not help but smile.

He has been in Duobao Pavilion for many years and has met a lot of people of all kinds. He can get a general idea of ​​who they are and what they are thinking at a glance. The look in the eyes of the person in front of me as he stared at the jewelry said it all.

"I just said that Mrs. Bai should not have been allowed to leave just now. Fortunately, I know that she often goes to the shop. The worst we can do is buy the hairpin back."

Ma Juan looked at her aunt's regretful tone and stamped her feet. Then she couldn't help but look at the bracelets and hairpins placed on the tray.

"Auntie, actually I think this jade bracelet is not bad. Most old people like jade, but it really doesn't work..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ma Ruren waving her hand.

"Stop talking, Juan Niang. If my aunt chooses jade, she will run into Brother Yu. The boy has prepared a pair of emerald bracelets for his grandmother."

Ma Ruren said, sighing helplessly, raising his hand and pinching the center of his brow, looking very tired.

"Brother Yu has always been filial to his grandmother. How can I, a mother, steal his limelight?"

Shopkeeper Su: "..."

Ma Juan looked at the decorations on the plate and almost blurted out that if the jade bracelet didn't work, she could give her a gold hairpin instead. But as she spoke, she glanced at her aunt subconsciously and stopped abruptly.

"...Auntie, let's go find Bai. She is a country woman, and wearing a red sandalwood hairpin is a waste. Besides, there are a few people in the country who know the goods. If it doesn't work, we can replace it with a silver hairpin for her."

"Replacement? I'm afraid she won't be happy, right? Forget it, let's think of other ways."

Ma Ruren sighed, took the hand of the servant and stood up.

"It's getting late. Let's go back. There are still a lot of things going on in the house. Fortunately, the old lady's birthday is only a few days away. Let me think about it again."

"You children, please take your time and come here often when you have time."

Shopkeeper Su sent the person outside the door, watched the person get on the carriage and leave, then shook his head and turned back.

Bai Yunxi didn't know what happened at Duobao Pavilion, but considering the urinary nature of the aunt and nephew, they probably wouldn't be too happy.

In short, it has nothing to do with her. Her life circle is not in the county, so there is no need to compromise.

Moreover, she and the county magistrate's wife are not from the same family. Even if she gives up the hairpin, people will only think that she is trying to flatter others. Not only will she not be grateful, but she will laugh at you for overestimating your capabilities.

She has no interest in doing thankless things.

She has been in this era for several years, and she has done nothing but make ends meet. It's not that she doesn't dare to do it in a big way, but that this strict hierarchical society has given too many rights to some people. As a powerless commoner, the more she earns, the more eye-catching she will be. Therefore, if you make enemies, you have to stop trying.

Instead of making wedding clothes for others, it is better to wait until the strength is equal and work hard.

Fortunately, there is a top student in Xiao Wu at home, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes famous, which is why she is not in a hurry.

When Xiaowu changes the lintel of the house, no matter where she sits, it will be the icing on the cake, instead of covering it carefully and being accidentally picked up.

Just like the Ma Ruren just now, relying on her status as the county magistrate's wife, she wanted her to voluntarily offer the hairpin.

This is class, the biggest stumbling block for an outsider like her.

Early the next morning, Bai Yunxi was drinking tea under the jujube tree and shaking the cattail fan to enjoy the coolness, when Zhang Yiren came to the house with his mother-in-law.

Seeing Bai Yunxi sitting lazily under the jujube tree, holding a teacup in one hand and shaking a cattail leaf fan in the other, with a leisurely expression, I couldn't help but tease him.

"Every time I see you, I am envious. No matter where you are, you are always enjoying yourself, and you always look calm and relaxed. It's as if nothing can disturb you. "

Having become familiar with Bai Yunxi, Zhang Yiren was not as polite as he was at first, and sat down without waiting for anyone to invite him.

"Compared to you, I am born to be a hard worker. I have a lot of things to do every day when I open my eyes. I want to be lazy and my heart is not at rest, but I just can't stay idle."

Listening to Zhang Yiren's teasing, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.

"You are the hard-working person who can't sit around, and I am the lazy one. We have different personalities."

She already had the attributes of a salted fish, and she had worked hard to prepare for being a salted fish. Unfortunately, the bamboo basket failed, and she was forcefully dragged here to become a mother by the system.

"Pfft~, I have to learn from you. It will be thankless if you do too much."

Zhang Yiren picked up the cup and took a sip. She looked at the neat and tidy yard and nodded.

"Not to mention, you have taken good care of this small yard."

After saying polite words, Zhang Yiren directly explained his intention.

"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady of the Xie family. I have received the invitation. I came to see you today because I want you to go to the banquet with me."

Hearing Zhang Yiren's suggestion, Bai Yunxi was stunned, "Xie Yu's grandmother?"

"Exactly, sixty-sixth birthday is an auspicious number. I thought that before you go back, you could accompany me to a banquet, which would save me from loneliness. Anyway, you and Xie Yu have a good relationship. If you come with me to celebrate Longevity, it makes sense.”

With Xiao Wu here, she will have to walk less in the county town in the future. Taking this opportunity, it will always be more convenient to get to know more people.

Besides, if she takes him there, no matter what the Xie family does, they still have to treat her with some kindness.

Listening to Zhang Yiren's thoughts, Bai Yunxi curled her lips. She knew that Zhang Yiren had good intentions and wanted to introduce her to the world. If it were any other family, that would be fine, but for the Xie family, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate this time.

"Ahem~, thank you sister Yiren for always thinking about me, but it's not suitable for me to go this time."

Bai Yunxi looked at the doubts in Zhang Yiren's eyes and did not hide it. She directly recounted the incident of meeting the Ma family's aunt and nephew. She also pulled out the hairpin on her head and handed it over.

"We were walking back and forth. Ma Ru wanted the hairpin on my head. He said it was a birthday gift for the old lady. I didn't like her. In addition to being disgusted with her, another thing was that I had already put it on my head. I would not take it again. It’s not appropriate to come as a birthday gift.”

Ma Ruren can not care, but she can't. If something goes wrong with the hairpin, given the Ma family's aunt and nephew's urine, she might be involved.

After listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation and looking at the hairpin she handed over, Zhang Yiren took it and looked at it.

"The hairpin is made of rosewood and is a totem of auspicious clouds. It is indeed suitable as a birthday gift. But if you have worn it, it is indeed inappropriate."
