Chapter 929 Xiaowu Was Transferred to Kyoto

Ever since Zhang Yishan became pregnant, Bai Yunxi had taken up the responsibility of taking care of the family.

Every morning, she would first explain the day's affairs before starting to work on other things, which didn't take up much of her time.

The younger daughter-in-law has been looking forward to being pregnant with a child, and now she finally got her wish. As a mother-in-law, she had to prepare something to celebrate.

I took Nanny Zhu directly to go shopping.

The carriage went straight to Yipin Pavilion. Baiyunxi went to order a long-lasting silver lock first, and specially chose the material of old silver.

She gave Li's two children longevity locks made of silver and treated them equally. When it came to Xiao Wu, she couldn't make any special arrangements, so as not to cause discord between the sisters-in-law.

After that, Baiyunxi took a fancy to several hostas, turquoise styles, one carved with Ruyi and the other with Camellia.

Both the style and appearance are top-notch.

In addition to turquoise, Baiyunxi also chose two yellow jade hairpins, one carved with welcoming spring and the other with winter plum blossoms, which are both pleasing to the eye.

Finally, I didn’t forget to choose some fashionable silk flowers for Yaya to take back.

The shopkeeper accompanied the person from beginning to end and was very enthusiastic until he put the person on the carriage.

"Pleasant walking, if you have any needs next time, just send someone to tell us, and we will bring new styles to your house for you to choose from."

"There's no need to go to such trouble. I just want to have fun when I go shopping." Bai Yunxi sat on the carriage and chuckled.

"It's pleasant that you are thoughtful and considerate. You go out for a walk in your free time just to feel good."

The shopkeeper listened to Bai Yunxi's tone and immediately agreed. After watching the carriage leave, he turned around and returned to the shop.

They have known Zhizhou's mother for a long time. Such a noble person must be treated with care.

After leaving Yipin Pavilion, Bai Yunxi went to the silk and satin shop again and bought some pieces of brocade, some silky silk, and fine cotton suitable for children to wear next to their skin.

When passing by Shanhetang, Baiyunxi went to buy a few boxes of bird's nests. Although she was not interested in bird's nests, women in this period particularly loved them. They said they were a good product for beauty and health, and boasted of its magical effects.

Along the way, I spent a lot of money and a lot of stuff, and I came back with a full load.

Back in the mansion, Baiyunxi drank tea, calmed down, and divided the things.

Pomegranate specially sent Zhang Yishan's things to her. To suit the occasion, Bai Yunxi gave her the turquoise hairpin with Ruyi carved on it.

The rest was left to Du Shi and Jing Jing.

After dinner, Xiao Wu came over to say hello. In the past few days, in order to prevent Zhang Yishan from running back and forth, Bai Yunxi let her eat in her yard and take a good rest.

"Why did you come here if you weren't with your wife?"

"Then there's no need to delay paying my respects to mother."

Xiao Wu curled his lips. His mother started running the family in order for her daughter-in-law to take good care of her child. When his wife told him, he was really surprised.

"Mom, I received a transfer order today and will be taking up a post in Beijing soon."

"So fast?"

Bai Yunxi was stunned. She knew that the baby would have to go to Beijing sooner or later, but she didn't expect that she would have to move just after three years.

"You are the number one scholar appointed by the late emperor. It has been two years since the new emperor ascended the throne. Why are you suddenly announced to the capital?"

When the throne changes, people like Xiao Wu will not be easily remembered.

"Don't worry, Mom. Senior Brother has already sent me a letter. I'm not the only one going to Beijing."

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked resolutely. The senior brother said in the letter that the official family intends to promote young officials to inject fresh blood into the court. Regardless of whether he is a child from an aristocratic family or a scholar from a humble family, as long as he has talent, he will be appointed.

And he just needed this opportunity.

"Originally, we could move our family to Kyoto, but Yishan happened to be pregnant at this juncture, and I was afraid that we would not be able to travel all the way. So my son thought, I will go first and ask my mother to take care of Yishan at home until the pregnancy is stable. , and then set off for Beijing."

Listening to Xiao Wu's arrangement, Bai Yunxi nodded,

"That's no problem. You and I both know how precious your wife is, and we really can't take risks. When are you going to leave? Mom will help you pack your things."

Although the daughter-in-law is in good health, if something goes wrong under the fatigue of traveling and traveling, the gain will outweigh the loss if something goes wrong.

"The Yamen side needs to hand over the work. It will be the end of the month when the busy work is over."

Xiaowu got up and looked at the house where his mother lived. It was all decorated according to his own preferences. In just over three years, he was about to leave.

"It's not a bad idea to start the journey at the end of the month. It's already autumn and it's cool on the road." Listening to Xiao Wu's voice, Baiyun Xi felt regretful. Not to mention the furnishings in the house, the flowers and plants in the yard were the most laborious to maintain.

There is nothing I can do if I don't want to give it up. This is an official residence and the courtyard of the imperial court. Officials who are transferred must be returned.

After learning about Xiaowu's itinerary, Baiyunxi began to prepare.

In addition to clothing, they also need to prepare dry food for the road. Although they can stay in inns along the way and have meals provided, they also need to eat and drink on the way. In case they pass through Sutou, it is good to have something to eat without being in a hurry.

Then there is the manpower. The journey to the capital takes about half a month, so manpower must be well prepared, and there is a way to deal with bandits and Roadhogs.

It is said that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously purged the court, rectified military affairs, and uprooted many mountains that dominated the mountains.

Some gangsters got the news in advance, dispersed from the hilltop, and disappeared, but occasionally they could hear news of businesses being robbed. These were all things Xiaosi complained to her when she came back.

With an idea in mind, Bai Yunxi asked Du to prepare some meat sauce and some sauce pancakes for Xiao Wu to eat on the road.

Afterwards, he took Pomegranate to Haitang Garden and asked the girls to prepare autumn and winter clothes for Xiao Wu.

Zhang Yishan stroked her belly, her heart tightening when she thought of the official coming to Beijing. I don't know how it happened. As soon as she got pregnant, the official was transferred back to Kyoto.

"Mom, I'm worried about Guanren. I'm in good health. Let's go with Guanren, right?"

Her mother once told her that the emperor's feet were surrounded by powerful people, and the officials stayed alone in Kyoto, and there was no one to consult with them when things happened.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's inner voice, Bai Yunxi curled her lips.

"Although your health is fine, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to travel long distances. Xiao Wu rushes to Kyoto to return to his life, and the schedule must be tight. Because of this, he can't go with us. Yesterday, Xiao Wu even came to me to discuss it. I'll just wait until your pregnancy is stable and then go slowly."

It is said that pregnant women are emotionally sensitive, and it is always right to give them more comfort.

Sure enough, listening to Bai Yunxi's comfort, Zhang Yishan nodded,

"Mom is right, we can't delay the official and delay his schedule."

"So, you just have to worry about raising the baby. Mom will just let you know when to leave. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Bai Yunxi said something to her, stood up and left.
