Chapter 816 Being Low-Key Is Also an Attitude
Bai Yunxi looked away from her daughter-in-law and saw Du's frustrated look. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This person has always been sensitive and insecure, and he is easy to get into trouble when things happen.
In the past few years, the sons she has reformed have all been positive and progressive, and Du Shi has participated in them every time. Coupled with her intentional or unintentional enlightenment, Du Shi's personality has changed a lot. If you have been living in the village, you will naturally be able to cope with it.
But when she suddenly came to Fucheng, it was a completely unfamiliar place to her. All social interactions had to be started from scratch. It was not her fault that she felt unsure.
After all, the environment where she grew up was there, and it was really difficult for her to cope with it freely.
Regarding this, there is really no other way except to let Du gradually become familiar with the people and things in Fucheng.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Take it easy. Although we are new here, we are official relatives after all. Even if some people dislike us in their hearts, they don't dare to show it too obviously. We are not money, and we can't be human. People like it. Just live your life well. Once you are familiar with the interpersonal relationships in Fucheng, it is not too late to invite people to your home. "
"Before that, we need to recruit more people and learn the rules. They say that if you have a good meal, you won't be afraid of being late. Being low-key is also an attitude. Maybe you can even make people look forward to seeing you."
When the new official in Fucheng took office, many people stared at it with wide eyes. Some people inquired while others waited to see the joke. Their family's identity had long been revealed before Xiao Wu came to take office.
In this case, it is better to keep a low profile and hide one's capabilities and bide one's time.
If you are too showy, it will make people catch your fault and make them laugh. They have never seen the world and can't even host a banquet.
After listening to her mother-in-law's suggestion, Zhang Yishan thought for a moment and nodded directly, "Mother is right. When we have more people, we can then invite people to the house for the banquet, so that we can take care of them more comprehensively."
A new one will definitely lack discipline, and it will take time to train it well.
"Don't worry, mother. I'll take people to the tooth shop right away and ask Yalang to bring some people into the house. Then mother will go through the selection and recruit a few people who like her to stay and serve her."
"Don't worry, ma'am, just do it boldly and it won't get in the way." Bai Yunxi waved her hands with a smile. The young man must have more experience. The more he sees, the more comfortable he will be.
Watching his daughter-in-law leave with the girl, Bai Yunxi picked up the teacup and took a sip. When he looked up, he saw Du Shi's sad look.
"When Yalang arrives, let's go pick out people together, and you can also pick two people you like to serve with you."
When Mrs. Du heard this, she thought of the days when she was surrounded by maids. She turned to look at her daughter's encouraging eyes and agreed with a blushing face.
“Mom, I don’t have good eyesight, so I have to help me grow my eyesight.
How does she know how to choose people? It would be very embarrassing if someone cheating and cheating came back.
Listening to Du's lack of confidence, Bai Yunxi didn't criticize her and nodded.
"Yishan is the head mistress of the mansion. You are the eldest lady in this mansion and a serious mistress. If the person you buy to serve is not suitable, just send him away and buy a new one. The last thing you can do is to compromise. "
Bai Yunxi looked at her and reminded her softly,
"Some servants are very good at looking after people's food. If you raise a slave who bullies the master, you will lose the face of the Bai family."
The environment is like this, and she is not a savior. Naturally, she has to learn to adapt in order not to be regarded as an alien.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du's face turned red, her fingers twisted the handkerchief, her eyes were full of anxiety, "Mom, I understand what you said, but I'm afraid that I can't do it well."
She had never thought that one day she could be a slave, but now that she was the master, to be honest, she really didn't have the confidence.
"No one is born knowing everything, and they don't learn it slowly. Look at our Yaya, we are well-behaved and smart. Even for her, you have to stand up, right?"
Some of the character traits are innate and some are created by the environment. She doesn't expect Du Shi to grow up all at once, but she doesn't want her to hold Yaya back either.
Her eldest granddaughter, who has been carefully raised, naturally wants to find her a suitable husband and live a worry-free life. Naturally, she does not want to affect Yaya's future because of Du's cowardice.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du's heart was shaken, and she looked at her daughter sharply. When she touched her daughter's big grape-like eyes, her heart tugged.
What the mother-in-law said was right, she could not influence her daughter. Yaya was blessed and would definitely find a good husband in the future. If people knew that her daughter had such a cowardly mother, it would definitely make people laugh.
If it affects her daughter's future, she will never be able to sleep peacefully in her life.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Du subconsciously stood up straight, straightened her chest, and looked up at her mother-in-law.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to adapt to life here in Fucheng and will not bring discredit to our family."
Although she grew up in the countryside and her parents' family was not very devoted to her, she has seen a lot with her mother-in-law in the past few years. Although it was a bit difficult to adapt, fortunately she has made it through.
Now that she has entered Fucheng again, as long as she studies hard and adapts seriously, she will always be able to stand up.
Listening to Du Shi's thoughts and looking at her firm eyes, Bai Yunxi nodded and let the matter go. As long as Du Shi took it seriously, she wouldn't be afraid of not being able to adapt to life in Fucheng.
Besides, women usually live in the backyard, and only occasionally go out for shopping or attending banquets. The rules and etiquette are just enough to keep their appearance.
She is not a mean mother-in-law herself, so she will not hold on to her daughter-in-law's faults.
Speaking of adding people to the mansion, Zhang Yishan was not idle for a moment. She returned to the main courtyard and sent people directly to Yaxing.
Just after breakfast the next day, Yalang came to the door with someone.
After receiving the news, Bai Yunxi took the Du family to the front yard, looked at the two rows of people standing in the yard, and sat firmly on the main seat.
Yalang carefully glanced at Baiyun River and immediately saluted with a smile.
"I've met Bai Yiren, I've met all the ladies, and the noble ladies are well."
The new magistrate is a hot new scholar who is young and promising. I have seen the real person before him on the street. He is worthy of being the number one scholar appointed by the officials. He is a real talent.
To be able to cultivate such outstanding talents, his family members should not be underestimated.
"No gift,"
Bai Yunxi glanced at him and spoke gently,
"Our Bai family has just arrived in Fucheng and is short of manpower. We need a few diligent and capable people to take care of the courtyard. I hope the people Yalang brings are good."
Hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, Yalang immediately bowed and replied with a smile.
"The younger ones don't dare to trust the older ones, so we have indeed selected some hard-working and capable ones. Let Bai Yiren choose from them. Let's see which one is lucky enough to be as good as your eyes."
He didn't dare to admit that the people he brought were all good people. What if someone who didn't have the foresight offended the master's family would harm him?
