Chapter 945 Solving Hidden Dangers

Old lady, if Xiao Wu is a single man, she doesn't care what he thinks.

But it doesn't work now. Xiaowu has already married and started a business, and his daughter-in-law is still giving birth to children for him. If any bad rumors spread and affect the daughter-in-law's production, it will be a sin.

She is an upright mother-in-law and will never allow anyone to engage in ambiguity under her nose.

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi walked out of the greenhouse and stood in the cold wind. When the breeze blew, he immediately felt refreshed.

"It's really thanks to the Duan family. Look at the flowers raised. It's really eye-catching. This is the first time I've seen so many varieties of flowers and such a spacious greenhouse. Most people really don't have this ability."

"What Bai Shuren said is that the Duan family spent a lot of money to hire florist masters for this flower house, and there was more than one. Especially those rare flowers need to be specially taken care of. Such laborious work is something that a wealthy businessman like the Duan family can afford. "

"Because of this, the Duan family holds a flower banquet every year to add more color to the bleak winter. Officials and family members in Kyoto are also willing to come to the Duan family's villa to enjoy the flowers and talk, as if they are back to the scene of blooming flowers in spring."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's sighing tone, Mu Zhuolan lowered her eyes and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Actually, it's not easy for the Duan family. It costs a lot to cultivate flowers in winter. Especially the flowers sent to the palace are rare species and require special care."

Princess Hehui glanced at Mu Zhuolan, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but explain.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. The Duan family is an imperial businessman with rich financial resources, but there are more places where money needs to be spent.

In particular, paying tribute to the imperial court was a heavy burden.

The Duan family must give corresponding amounts of silver and food to the court every year, and even more if there is a disaster.

Even so, all the officials in the imperial court still regarded the Duan family as merchants and looked down upon them.

Just like Mu Zhuolan in front of her, she obviously liked the flower banquet hosted by the Duan family, but in her words, she always reminded everyone overtly and covertly that the Duan family was full of copper and would only use such extravagant things to show their status.

Moreover, there are many people who think like Mu Zhuolan.

Obviously I'm envious, but I don't want to admit it.

She just can't stand this. Is it difficult to admit that others are capable of making money?

Her grandfather sighed more than once, saying that it was not easy for the Duan family. When the national treasury was insufficient, the court needed to raise money, and everyone thought of the Duan family. When I have nothing to do, I say that the Duan family is extravagant and behaves like a businessman.

No matter what, the Duan family is always the one who is put on the fire. In the end, they pay for the money and food, and are also blamed for it.

Listening to Princess Hehui's thoughts, Bai Yunxi looked at the huge courtyard in front of him, with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted columns. Every scene was exquisite. But beneath this sophistication, there is also an indescribable sadness hidden.

Scholars, farmers, and merchants were of the lower echelon, but they were indispensable.

But ordinary people are inevitably vulgar, they dislike the smell of copper, and they need copper coins to survive.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi has a good impression of this princess. She is indeed a model among noble ladies and can see the root of the problem.

Taishi Ning is worthy of being the emperor's teacher. She likes this tutor.

Appreciation is appreciation, but the stance must be firm.

There are so many outstanding people in the world, why can’t they all be lumped into one’s bowl?

"It's so valuable to enjoy flowers in winter. I have to ask my little daughter-in-law to come and take a look. She is pregnant now. If she enjoys these beautiful flowers and plants, she will be in a good mood. The children she will give birth to in the future will also be beautiful."

As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, Mu Zhuolan pursed his lips and his eyes flickered.

After all, he comes from the countryside and has never seen the world.

Princess Hehui was stunned for a moment, and looked at the greenhouse without knowing why. My daughter-in-law?

Is that what she thought?

At this moment, Bai Yunxi noticed that Yishan was looking over and waved to her quickly. When she saw her daughter-in-law walking over, she couldn't help teasing her,

"Xiaowu and Yishan have been married for three years and finally have their own child. They take her out to walk around while her body is still light. When she is a month old, she will have to stay at home to wait for the birth."

Zhang Yishan came closer and happened to hear her mother-in-law's last words. She smiled slightly at Princess Hehui and said,

"It makes the princess laugh. My mother is always there for me and won't let me do anything. She has made me lazy."

Princess Hehui looked at her protruding belly and quickly regained her composure after the shock.

"I was also careless. I didn't know that Bai Hanlin was already married."

Isn’t it that such a young and promising gentleman devotes himself to studying? Why did you get married so early?

Grandfather said that Bai Hanlin was a rare talent that could not be seen in a century and was most suitable for an official career.

Going through the imperial examination and being in court, these are all things that require time and energy, so how can you still have time to get married?

Listening to the princess's voice, Baiyun Xi curled up the corners of her mouth and said,

No matter how important your career is, you can still solve life-long issues by taking the time out.

"It's no wonder that the princess didn't know. It's because we came too late. It's not too late to know now. My wife is a kind and talkative person. If the princess doesn't mind, you are always welcome to be a guest in my house."

"Yes, Princess, just come here when you have time. I'm at home with nothing to do, and I'm just looking forward to someone to talk to."

Zhang Yishan stroked her belly with one hand and spoke in a gentle tone. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but her whole body was filled with the glory of motherhood.

"Okay, I will definitely go to the house to make trouble when I have time."

Princess Hehui looked away from Zhang Yishan and took a step to the side.

"I won't disturb you for your flower viewing."

Zhang Yishan watched the princess leave and couldn't help but praise, "She is indeed a noble lady, her manners are really good. When I see them, I regret being lazy before."

Listening to Zhang Yishan's envious tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled, "If a young man doesn't work hard, he will be miserable... However, I think it's never too late to start learning, and I will support your ideas at any time."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's surprised look, Bai Yunxi pointed to the flower house in front, "Let's go and have a look. The flower house cultivated by the Duan family is even more spectacular than the hundreds of flowers blooming in spring."

Princess Hehui took Mu Zhuolan back to her seat to drink tea and talk.

Mu Zhuolan found that the princess was a little absent-minded.

Ever since she met the Bai family, the princess's attitude had changed, which really made her curious.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I suddenly remembered something."

"You are very special to the Bai family. Is there anything that attracts the princess?" Mu Zhuolan chuckled and asked casually.

Obedient to Mu Zhuolan's temptation, Princess Hehui played with the cup and looked at her,

"I just feel that the Bai family is different from the people in Kyoto. Everyone is very interesting."

She and Mu Zhuolan play together, but it's not that they have an inseparable relationship. They are both noble girls in Kyoto, and their circle is here. In addition, the Mu family is also a civil servant, so they can talk together.

That's all.

Mu Zhuolan concealed the confusion in her eyes and nodded.
