Chapter 736 Xie Yu's Invitation
Zhang Yiren looked at the hairpin and agreed with Bai Yunxi's approach.
No matter how suitable it is, you can't give a second-hand one, but the other party is Ma Ruren, so she is not surprised.
"I can ignore it, but Ma Ruren must be uncomfortable, so it's better for me not to go, so as not to lose face at that time."
The woman is not a generous person at first glance. If she goes to her home, she might as well make things difficult for others.
Even if she can resolve it, the birthday banquet will suddenly have twists and turns because of her arrival, which will inevitably make people talk about it.
If she has that free time, she might as well cross her legs at home.
Zhang Yiren thought about it and didn't insist. They lived in the same county, and they knew each other's character. Ma's temper, if she made trouble for Yunxi at the banquet, it would be the opposite of her original intention.
"With the status of the Xie family, the old lady's birthday will be celebrated by all the prominent families in the whole county. I wanted you to join in the fun, but I didn't expect you and Ma to meet first."
"This only shows that our auras are not compatible and there is no fate."
Bai Yunxi spread her hands helplessly. Except for Xie Yu, she didn't know the others. It's useless to go if they are not in her circle.
At this time, it is the most logical way for a mother to be honored by her son. She is just waiting for Xiaowu to go to high school.
"Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go. With Ma's character, she is really not a tolerant person."
There are many people in the county who have complaints about her, but no one is willing to break up. After all, her status is there, and at worst, there is County Magistrate Xie.
Zhang Yiren is also helpless and gives Bai Yunxi a look that you understand.
Bai Yunxi played with the red sandalwood hairpin and put her hand into her hair.
"I am a peasant woman in the countryside. At best, I am just a small landlord. The threshold of the county magistrate's house is too high. I can't cross it now."
It's easy to pull the crotch.
"Don't belittle yourself. Let's see what happens in the future."
Zhang Yiren gave her a glare. Just Xiaowu standing there, this man's future blessings are immeasurable. Ma's shallow eyes are just showing off in the county and pretending to be pretentious.
That being said, since they were not going to Xie's house, Zhang Yiren also changed the topic and talked about interesting things in the county.
Just when the two were laughing unscrupulously, Bai Yunxi turned her head and saw Xie Yu leaning against the door, who was listening to them with great interest.
"You kid, why don't you come in? What are you doing leaning against the door?"
Finally being discovered, Xie Yu raised the corners of his lips, walked into the yard with curved eyebrows, and opened the fan in a flash.
"Seeing Aunt Bai and Auntie talking happily, how dare the younger generation disturb them.
I didn't expect that two old ladies who are almost a hundred years old in total can chat so enthusiastically and gossip so enthusiastically, just like the women picking vegetables in the kitchen of the academy.
"We are just chatting and gossiping about interesting things, so we can talk about anything." Bai Yunxi stood up, moved a chair for him, and poured him a cup of tea.
"You are not in the academy at this time, why are you here?"
"Yes, I heard that you are going to finish school this year. The schoolwork is so heavy, why are you running around? "
Zhang Yiren echoed. She almost knew by heart how many students in the academy were ready to show their talents after hearing her master talk about them every day.
Xie Yu was not polite either. He sat down opposite the two of them.
"The teacher allowed me to come and go freely. Thinking of the ice bowls made by Aunt Bai, I went to the shop. I didn't expect to see only my junior sister sitting there. Thinking of Aunt Bai, I came to take a look. I didn't expect that my aunt was there too?"
Bai Yunxi looked at his complacent look and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
See, this is the aura of a top student. He is talented in studying and reading. Even if he is lazy, he always ranks among the top in exams. Isn't it annoying?
This is definitely the child of other people's families.
"I heard that Aunt Bai is going to return home?"
"Yes, the shop is well managed by Yishan. I am idle here anyway. It's time to go home. The second son's wife is about to give birth. I have to go back to take care of her. ”
Xie Yu was not an outsider, so Bai Yunxi did not hide it and spoke directly.
“So that’s how it is. Aunt Bai is going to be a grandmother again. This is a great joy.”
Xie Yu put the fan on her waist and took out a big red invitation from her sleeve pocket.
“The day after tomorrow is my grandmother’s birthday. I came to Qingbai Auntie’s banquet specially. I hope Auntie Bai will honor me.”
Looking at the big red invitation in front of him, Bai Yunxi was stunned. He took it and put it on the table first.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to go. Your aunt Zhang came to see me today and wanted to take me to celebrate your grandmother’s birthday…”
Bai Yunxi looked at the invitation and felt helpless. He told him about the Duobao Pavilion again, and then spread his hands.
“Celebrating someone’s birthday is a great joy. I also like things that bring joy, but if it’s because of me that the birthday banquet goes wrong, it’s not what I want. The sixty-sixth birthday is not a trivial matter, especially for the elderly. "
The life expectancy of people in this era is generally low, which is why people over 40 are called old people.
Only the elderly in wealthy families are well-maintained, eat well, dress warmly, and have good physical fitness. But the more so, people value them, and her going there will only cause trouble.
Xie Yu listened, frowned and pursed her lips, thinking of her stepmother, her eyes narrowed, and anything related to her must be bad.
"But, I have already told my grandmother about Aunt Bai, and it was my grandmother who suggested sending you an invitation. If you don't go, my grandmother will definitely be disappointed."
Bai Yunxi was silent. She didn't think she had such great charm. It must be that this boy said something in front of the old lady, which aroused curiosity.
"The more this happens, the more I have to stay away from her... In addition to that Miss Ma, it's not the first time that I have a grudge with Ma Ruren. Both the aunt and nephew have been offended by me. If I run to her territory, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Xie Yu raised a hint of mockery,
"Just relying on her... Aunt Bai just put her heart in her stomach. The aunt and nephew of the Ma family dare not cause trouble, unless she wants to make the grandmother dislike her. "
Grandmother chose Ma to marry into the family because she wanted her to help her father manage the household affairs and let there be a hostess in the mansion. So no matter whether Ma took her niece to raise her or used the money from the public to subsidize her natal family, as long as it was not excessive, grandma would turn a blind eye.
But everything has a limit. If she dares to make trouble at the birthday banquet and let the grandmother dislike her, she will have no place to stand in the mansion in the future.
A second wife, from a small family, with no assets, can only do her best to serve her father and please her grandmother if she wants to make a living.
What he had experienced before will never happen again.
Listening to Xie Yu's voice, Bai Yunxi pulled the corner of her mouth. Although she believed Xie Yu's words, cats have their own ways and dogs have their own ways. Each has its own rules of survival. Some things you look down on may not be used by others.
