Mother Zhang did not let Du Shi help. She also understood that Du Shi was still the master of the house and was not something she could control as a mother.

 For now, there are only a few people in their family, and it is not necessary to set up a small kitchen for each of them.

 In the future, when there are more people and children, it is understandable that small kitchens should be set up in each house to prepare complementary food for the children at any time.

 A large kitchen is enough for now.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi raised his head and glanced at Du Shi, "You have been helping in the kitchen in the past few days, do you still get along with me?"

Hearing Du's thoughts and looking at her sad eyes, Bai Yunxi was stunned.

 For a person who is used to working hard, it would indeed be uncomfortable to suddenly let her have some free time. Especially for people with a sensitive temperament like Du's, they tend to feel insecure once they have nothing to do.

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Wu recounted what happened in Kyoto to Bai Yunxi.

Bai Yunxi listened to her son's thoughts and waved her hand, "That Mrs. Qian is just a standout, and I have already countered her, so don't take it to heart."

Aunt Song often said that to live your life, you have to plan carefully. Although life is getting better now, she still can't let it go to waste.

"A bit. I'm used to working, but I always feel uncomfortable when I'm free." Du Shi rubbed her hands in embarrassment. She must have been born with a hard life, and she would get flustered if she didn't work.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du waved her hands repeatedly.

 “She is just a pathfinding stone thrown by others.”

The vegetable-washing girl, the cooking girl, and the handyman were all ready, but she couldn't get involved.

"Of course I know this, but my wife is used to it, and I'm afraid she won't be able to change it for a while."

"Before, at home, you would sit around the pots and pans all day long. Now that you have come to Fucheng, you are the eldest lady of the house, a serious mistress. There are also girls waiting for you, so you should take care of yourself. The kitchen is heavily oily and time-consuming. It’s easy to damage your appearance over time. In the past, conditions didn’t allow it, but now it’s better. You should decide for yourself.”

 The first ones that pop up are small fish and shrimps, not worth the trouble.

“When I came to Beijing to take the palace examination, the officials praised my son very much. I heard from my senior brother that the officials wanted me to enter the Imperial Academy, but later they changed their minds and sent my son abroad directly.”

“Why, you’re not used to being idle all of a sudden?”

She is timid and has never seen the world, but she is not stupid either. How can she not see that the people in the kitchen do not welcome her at all.

 Fortunately, those people were still polite to her because of her mother-in-law's instructions, but that was all.

“It’s not that difficult for our family now, we can still afford the balsam.” Looking at Du Shi, Bai Yunxi looked helpless.

But well, she left all the affairs in the house to Sister Shan, and if she asked Du to take care of the kitchen alone, it would easily lead to conflicts between the sisters-in-law.

There is no reason for an official to have just taken up his post, have never had any relationship with anyone, and have a clean family background.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s narration, Bai Yunxi was stunned and almost entered the Hanlin Academy, good boy~

Hanlin bachelors were close to the emperor and were deeply trusted. They not only helped the emperor draft edicts, but also participated in the decision-making of national affairs. The most important thing was that the prime minister was selected from this group of people.

  Let the wife of the back house be allowed to commit crimes... Even if she relies on the prefect and the Mu family, not everyone can offend Bai Ansheng's family.

Her mother-in-law bought the balsam in the county town. It was very delicate. She was reluctant to use too much of it every time. Her second brother and sister couldn't use enough every time, so she couldn't finish it every time.

Although Zhang Yishan was taught well by Zhang Yiren, she was still young and was not very clear about some things.

 One hundred three. One two four. One hundred four. Two hundred

"Mama Zhang takes care of the kitchen very neatly, and the girls and the mother-in-law are also diligent. My wife can't really help her much." Du Shi smiled, "I only occasionally make some food for Yaya, and I don't need the rest. I."

When this thought came to her mind, Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing. She was born to be miserable, a cheap person, and would not enjoy any blessings.

At dusk, Xiaowu came back from the Yamen. After having dinner with Baiyunxi, he chatted with her for a while.

If it weren’t for Xiao Wu, how would they, the people in the back house, have enemies?

Hearing her mother-in-law's calm tone, Zhang Yishan frowned, "But mother, our family has just arrived and we have no enmity with them. How can we explore?"

  After that, except for cooking something that Yaya likes to eat, she stopped helping in the kitchen the rest of the time, so the more she saved, the more she worked.

"You are right, you have to ask Xiao Wu. No matter whether someone throws stones to ask for directions or whether he is deliberately stupid, the root cause is Xiao Wu. Everything must be traced back to its source."

 Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi's delicate face, and there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, especially the working hands, which were rougher than hers.

In the first few days, she enthusiastically helped out, cooking her favorite food, and discussing with the kitchen staff how to cook delicious food. However, apart from politely apologizing and smiling, they just praised the delicious food, especially that The two cooks looked at her with worried eyes and occasionally hostility, but they made her feel very comfortable.

“Let’s go shopping on the street tomorrow and buy you some balm later. Apply it after washing every day to make up for all the losses before.”

Xiao Wu said, his eyes narrowed slightly.

 Everyone who achieved Jinshi status wanted to enter the Imperial Academy, and he was no exception.

Bai Yunxi looked at the doubts in her daughter-in-law's eyes and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

  At home, the kitchen had always been her world, but now she suddenly doesn’t do anything, and she always feels empty.

 “It’s all thanks to my mother-in-law,”

“Mom, don’t bother me. I still have a lot of balsam that I haven’t used yet. I’ve brought back all the balsam you bought for me, and I still have several boxes left.”

Du Shi nodded and went out directly with Zhang Yishan. Anyway, she couldn't understand the conversation between her mother-in-law and her fifth brother, so she couldn't help.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, frowned when he heard his mother's tone, and he started to have concerns in his heart. Turning to look at his wife, Zhang Yishan sighed and stood up directly.

Listening to his mother's teasing, Xiao Wu curled his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, and even complimented his mother-in-law. Bai Yunxi's lips twitched when she heard this. When her pig picked up a good cabbage, she probably lost it too.

Bai Yunxi watched the two people leave with teasing eyes, "You two have a good understanding."

“Sister-in-law, I got some new patterns there. Seeing that it’s getting cold, I took them back to make some thick clothes for Yaya.”

 In a word, the Hanlin Academy is the breeding ground for prime ministers.

  As for why the accident happened, I’m afraid it’s not simple.

Think about it, how can anything in the imperial court be simple?
