I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. We are a merchant's family. Compared with the official family, we are always inferior. We are respectful and have a good heart. We have never looked down upon our merchant's family. We are able to come to the mansion as a guest. It’s also our blessing.”

　　【This time she came not only as a gift of lacquerware, but also as a gift of five thousand taels of silver notes. She hoped that Liang Gongren could say a few words of kindness in front of the prefect, so that the prefect would know the existence of their Wang family and provide convenience in the future. 】

　　【Last year, I gave away two thousand taels of silver notes, but there was not even a splash. It wasn't until later that the master found out that it was because their family had given less and they couldn't be ranked at all. For this year's flower banquet, she gritted her teeth and gave away five thousand taels to show her sincerity. 】

She felt a little uneasy when the banknote was sent out. Unexpectedly, after entering the hall, Kyouto actually took the initiative to chat with her for a few words about home affairs, and then she was completely relieved. It turns out that in Gongren's heart, the Wang family still has some status in Fucheng. 】

　　【This time I finally put it into Kyōto's heart. If I come to visit you in the future, I won't be blinded and unable to even touch the door. 】

"Oh, Yiren is really full of poetry and calligraphy. To be honest, when we attended Gongren's banquet, we were very nervous, just for fear of being disliked. Now that we hear Yiren's tone, we are very grateful. very."

When they saw Baiyunxi and Wu'an people under the wintersweet tree, they immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile.

"Any official family does not want to be associated with businessmen, for fear of being stained with patina and making their colleagues laugh. Only the magistrate treats virtuous corporals with courtesy and treats people equally, and never divides people into three, six or nine grades because of their status."    "Liang Gongren, as a virtuous housekeeper, Every time there is a flower banquet, even the slightly famous merchants in the city will receive her invitations."

The Wu family are military generals with straightforward temperaments and are wary of the shrewdness of businessmen.

 In fact, her natal family is also from a merchant background. The only difference is that the Duan family is an imperial merchant and the head of the family works in Kyoto. Although it is a fictitious position from the sixth rank, it has a good reputation.

Thinking about the rivalry between the two, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but click his tongue, obediently, each of these moves was bigger than the last.

 Baiyunxi: “…”

“But having said that, their family background is indeed rich enough and they are well versed in business.”

The couple set up the business well and cooperated with each other. They managed to get money overtly and covertly, and they also made each other feel grateful. This kind of skill is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Hearing the two of them testing each other behind the scenes, Bai Yunxi curled up his lips in a funny way, and he could actually hear each other's thoughts even through the stone.

If someone exposes him, can he still keep the black gauze hat on his head?

Just because his master knew the Wang family well, he prepared 10,000 taels of silver notes in advance and presented them to him. Otherwise, today's limelight will be stolen by the Wang family. 】

What did she say?

 Even the flatterers are secretly competing with each other.

Baiyunxi can't refute this. A high-ranking official can overwhelm others, let alone a businessman with no power or influence?

 Historically, the imperial court emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the status of merchants has been suppressed because they were too shrewd and unmatched in their ability to exploit every opportunity for profit.

Madam Wang shook her handkerchief and echoed.

"It is said that businessmen pursue profits. Listen to the momentum of their competition. Their minds are like a hornet's nest. If you are not careful, you can fall into the pit. My master usually looks down on these people the most because he thinks they are too shrewd. , all-pervasive. If I hold a flower banquet on weekdays, the master will not allow me to provoke them, for fear of getting involved. "

“Yes, merchants have been inferior to others since ancient times, and we are all accustomed to these prejudices. But Liang Gongren said that everyone has his own strengths, and we are just better at merchants. Now listening to Yiren’s words really brings tears to my eyes.”

While the two were whispering, the two people behind the stone walked out together again, as if the temptation just now had never happened.

“Bai Yiyi and Wu An are the ones who will look for the place. The scent of wintersweet is the strongest at this location. Mrs. Zhou and I followed the scent to find it.”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

“Ms. Wang is proud of the spring breeze, and her wish must have come true.”

While Bai Yunxi was deep in thought, Wu Anren touched her arm and winked at her.

Mrs. Zhou said, pressing the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief, her brows filled with excitement.

  Regardless of whether there is collusion between officials and businessmen, these people see business opportunities and can really make money.

But having said that, Magistrate Liang is really not so bold as he dared to make money through the flower banquet.

“What Wu An said is that we have overstepped our bounds. The two of us chat slowly while we wander around casually.”

“It’s fate that we meet each other. If you don’t mind being pleasant and peaceful, let’s talk together and smell the flowers in this garden?”

Hearing Wu Anren’s emotion, Baiyunxi felt the same and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

But their second wife stayed in the capital to guard the ancestral home, and they also had the reputation of imperial merchants on their heads. For this reason alone, they had to send generous sums of money to Kyoto every year, and more than half of the family's income had to be handed over to Kyoto. Sometimes, There are also hardships to be said.

Wu Anren shook his head and sighed.

 She was just curious, how did these two people develop their shamelessness?

　　It seems simple to talk nonsense when you see people talking, but your brain can't keep up at the critical moment.

Wu Anren looked at Baiyunxi's speechless look and coughed softly,

“You two are so articulate, I can’t wait. Although Kyouto doesn’t stick to his status, you two must restrain your enthusiasm to avoid scaring others.”

　　　Look at this woman's complacent look. No need to guess, she must have a backup plan. Based on her understanding of the Wang couple, although they are naughty, they will definitely have to bleed if they want to stand out in the capital. They say money can make a fool of themselves, but how can it work without real money? 】

 Listening to Wu Anren's salty tone, the two of them paused and smiled.

Without the title of Huangshang, she would have no chance to marry into the Wu family.

Hearing Wan Anren’s voice and tone, Bai Yunxi no longer knew how to answer.

Hearing Madam Wang’s flattering tone, Bai Yunxi twitched the corners of her lips. Before she could speak, Madam Zhou next to her smiled at Bai Yunxi.

“So what if the family is rich? If it’s too ostentatious, it’s another question whether it can be saved in the end. The money in the hands of a businessman is just a piece of fat for some people, and they want to take a bite of it whenever they have the opportunity.”

Mrs. Zhou said, nodded slightly, turned and left.

Mrs. Wang looked at each other and said, "My family runs a lacquerware shop. If you two need anything, just look at each other's shops and say hello to whoever you like."

 After saying that, he also followed Fu Fu Shen and chased Mrs. Zhou. (End of chapter)
