Chapter 883 Waiting for the Madam to Visit
When she got the news that Mrs. Deng came to her door, Zhang Yishan took the girl directly to the front yard to pick her up. Except for the Wu An people, no one else has ever visited their home.
Mrs. Deng was extremely moved when she saw Zhang Yishan coming to pick him up in person.
"How dare you bother the fifth lady to come and greet me in person? I'd already be grateful if I sent a girl to come."
"It's normal for distinguished guests to come to your door." Zhang Yishan smiled gently and said politely.
"Sister Zhen, hurry up and give a present to the fifth lady."
Someone with a higher official position than them still came out to greet them, which shows that they have a noble character.
Deng Danzhen stepped forward and said, "I have seen five great ladies."
Zhang Yishan quickly stretched out her hand to support her,
"Miss Deng, no courtesy. It's cold outside. Let's go in and talk first."
I heard that this girl was in poor health, but now I see that she is really weak.
When the Deng family comes to visit, no matter who they are visiting, as a matter of etiquette, the Deng family mother and daughter must first greet the elders in the family.
Banyan Tree Hall,
Bai Yunxi sat beside Arhat's bed. As the curtain was lifted, the Deng family's mother and daughter were led in by Zhang Yishan.
“I have seen pleasant people, pleasant people and good health.
"Excuse me, sit down and talk."
Bai Yunxi smiled appropriately and asked the girl to lead the two of them to sit down.
"Coming to your door rashly will cause trouble to Yiren."
"In other words, our home is quiet. If someone comes to talk and chat, it's too late to be happy. How can it be troublesome?"
"Oh, Yiren is such a kind-hearted person, just don't dislike her. You also know that my daughter is timid and afraid of meeting strangers, but seeing that she is getting older, I want to take her out to walk around more to avoid seeing her in the future. People don’t know what to say.”
Listening to Mrs. Deng's tone, Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter sitting next to her. The little girl was wearing a pink double-breasted coat with a dark pink-purple horse skirt, a small white fur collar around her neck, and pink lips. moist, fair cheeks.
"Ms. Deng is delicate, gentle and has a good temper. My daughter's family doesn't have to take the imperial examination to pursue an official career, so it doesn't matter if she is timid."
This girl is weak and has been recovering from illness at home for several years. She is a little timid when going out. Mrs. Deng mentioned it last time at Wu's house, and she had an impression.
But during this period, it is not a good thing for a girl to be married to be in poor health. As a biological mother, Mrs. Deng should know better.
During the two consecutive meetings, she heard words from Mrs. Deng about her daughter's poor health, and she didn't know what she meant. If she hadn't learned from Wu Anren that Sister Zhen was indeed the daughter of Mrs. Deng, otherwise she would have thought that this person was her stepmother.
Moreover, this girl also has a good temper. She is not angry when she hears these words, and she doesn't even have much expression.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's praise, Deng Danzhen stood up and expressed her gratitude to her again.
Bai Yunxi waved her hand to sit down.
"There are no outsiders here, no need to be formal, just sit and talk quietly."
"Listen, Yiren's words are really comforting. You have an elegant character and you are very protective of your juniors. Last time at the Wu family banquet, you didn't have a chance to talk much. Today I shamelessly came to the door because I wanted to get close to you. close."
Madam Deng sighed in admiration, her tone full of enthusiasm.
Seeing her exaggerated attitude, Bai Yunxi almost trembled at the corners of his mouth, picked up the tea and took a sip.
If nothing else, this person is quite familiar.
But as far as she knew, Deng Jingcheng was an official affiliated with the prefect, responsible for document and cashier matters. He was an official of the eighth rank, and he directly took orders from the prefect.
This alone is enough to explain the relationship between the Deng family and the prefect.
Mrs. Deng has a delicate heart. Last time she was at the Wu family, she also heard that the prefect's family had a feud with the Bai family, and they would definitely not get too close in the future. As an official subordinate to the prefect, she rashly It was really interesting to run to Zhizhou's mansion.
Sure enough, when she said this, Mrs. Deng looked at Bai Yunxi and Zhang Yishan and smiled softly,
"You don't know that my master is full of praise when he talks about Master Zhizhou, saying that he is a young and promising young man with an unlimited future."
"I'll lend you some good words."
Have we finally gotten to the point?
"Oh, this is not nonsense. Just like this major salt smuggling case, Lord Zhizhou single-handedly brought glory to the city and wiped out all the salt thieves. This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do."
After Mrs. Deng praised her, she couldn't help but sigh,
"Although it is a great achievement, Yiren also understands in his heart that it is also very dangerous to be involved in private affairs. Although others envy Mr. Zhizhou for his great achievements, I feel that the risks are equal to the credit. I only know that Mr. Zhizhou is brave and brave. Being able to defeat the salt thief in one fell swoop is something that others can only envy, but cannot be jealous of."
Listening to Mrs. Deng's emotion, Bai Yunxi smiled and said,
"When Xiaowu went on inspection, he thought it was a routine matter and he would be able to return in a few days. Who knew he would stay for a month. During this period, I was always worried and life was really difficult. As a mother, I naturally didn't want to risk my life. , but as a court official, it is his responsibility to benefit the people."
"I can't stop him from doing these things. I can only hope that he can return safely. That is my biggest wish."
In recent days, there have been rumors in the city about Xiao Wu's arrest of salt thieves. They are all kinds of and have changed. After Xiao Wu learned about it, he had someone calm him down, but the topic didn't stop immediately.
"As a mother, I agree with you. If my two boys were to go out for ten and a half days, I would be scratching my head and would have blisters on my mouth because I was afraid that they would make a mistake outside. That would be really terrible. It’s going to kill me.”
Mrs. Deng said, pressing the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and looked at Bai Yunxi again,
"After this incident, my master really admires the prefect. Although there is a big age difference, talent has nothing to do with age. It is said that one can learn until old age. If my master had the honor to discuss knowledge with the prefect, he would laugh in his dreams."
"Unfortunately, my two sons are not ambitious. They are diligent in studying and have both passed the examination. But they always feel difficult to take the next step. I don't know if it is due to lack of talent or inability to find the way. If there is a chance for the prefect to give some advice, I will be very grateful."
Listening to what Mrs. Deng said here, Bai Yunxi blinked her eyes,
This guy came to show her kindness?
"Xiaowu and Deng Liwu are colleagues. They meet often and occasionally discuss things. It shouldn't interfere with official business. Although my Xiaowu has a cold personality, he is very easy-going when he is educated."
"I believe this. It is said that like mother, like son. The children taught by Yiren are naturally outstanding. Unlike me, I have three children in my life, two impetuous boys and a weak daughter. Compared with Yiren, I am much worse."
