1672 Not Needed for My Good (Forty-One)
"Oops!
After getting out of the car, entering the door, and walking into the spacious, bright and exquisitely furnished room, the sigh in Cousin An's mouth never stopped.
Her eyes were going back and forth, up and down, left and right, and her eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
"Cousin, cousin, Shishi's house is really good, look at this furniture, ouch, and this decoration, it must not be cheap. ”
Cousin An sighed, touched here, looked there, she didn't notice it herself, whether it was her voice and tone, it was far less "arrogant" than just now.
When she touches things, she even has a hint of caution - hemp eggs, these things look very expensive, if they are damaged, her Pingping's salary for a year may not be able to afford it!
And this "carefulness" reached its peak after seeing the housekeeper that Anne hired with a high salary.
Cousin An thought to herself, "We are guests, the other party is a housekeeper, and if we stay in the past, we will be a subordinate, we are not afraid of her!"
However, when she saw the butler with a standard smile and a proper manner, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Also, it's not that I'm afraid of her, it's just, I just don't know how to place my hands and feet.
It's even a little bit ashamed of myself!
People's words and deeds are so standard, and they are still inexplicably noble and elegant.
It's obviously "serving" people, but you can look at it and feel inviolable!
In the face of such a "subordinate", Cousin An's arrogance of "I am an uncle" slowly disappeared.
She also began to squirm.
Especially when the housekeeper corrected her dining etiquette over and over again, Cousin An's old face turned even more rarely.
She may not be as strong and face-loving as An's father and mother, but she can't really ignore other people's eyes.
Although the housekeeper did not show the slightest strange expression, no matter how unruly her words and deeds were, they still smiled with a standard and polite smile.
People reminded her again and again, and there was no impatience, let alone the slightest contempt and ridicule.
However, Cousin An just has the illusion that she is very embarrassed, and that person must be secretly laughing at herself in her heart.
In fact, it's not an illusion, others don't know, at least her daughter, just have an embarrassed look.
The look was even more evasive, as if he was afraid that others would know that the hillbilly in front of him, who didn't know any social etiquette, was her own mother Ms. Liu Ping.
This damn girl!
I actually think my own mother is ashamed?!
When Cousin An realized this, she was really ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to attack immediately.
"Heh, hehe, cousin, you, you have a meal, it's really a big fight, just, it's like filming a TV series. ”
Cousin Ann felt weak, but her psychological quality was quite tough, and she could still self-regulate and use jokes to relieve her embarrassment.
It's just that her smile is stiff, and the words she says are a little stumbling.
When Father and Mother heard Cousin An's words, they knew that this cousin had finally realized what it was like to enjoy the rich people she had always envied.
There was a little comfort in my heart, but there was not much to say.
Because the lessons of these months have been so profound, they don't want to face the courtesy's polite advice from the butler.
That's a shame!
With a standard smile in line with social etiquette at Cousin An, An's father and mother began to prepare for the meal.
Long dining table, full set of western cutlery.
The standard and complicated dining etiquette only made Cousin An, who had never experienced it, busy and at a loss!
Ding!
This is the noise made by Cousin Ann's knife and fork when it touches the plate.
Bang dang!
This is the sound of Cousin An's panicked heart, and she can't hold the cutlery more and more and accidentally drops the cup.
Suck, suck!
This is a small movement that Cousin An accidentally made when she was drinking soup.
When Cousin An was eating at home before, she didn't notice that there was anything wrong with her eating.
She even laughed at her relatives from her hometown in the countryside, thinking that they were chattering when they ate and rummaging around on the plate with chopsticks!
But here, it was frighteningly quiet all around, several people were eating, and there were housekeepers and maids standing around, but there was not even the slightest sound.
Cousin An's subtle sound seemed to be magnified many times.
Every voice is so harsh and so annoying.
But the more she made a sound, the more Cousin An felt at a loss, her heart was confused, and her hands and feet became more and more uncontrollable, and then she made louder and more noise.
Although during the entire banquet, except for Liu Ping, no one deliberately paid attention to Cousin An.
Especially when Cousin Ann was "embarrassed", Anne and Ann's father and mother didn't even skim the corner of their eyes out of politeness.
But、But Cousin Ann just felt that she was being stared at by everyone and ridiculed by everyone.
Because of these episodes, Cousin Ann didn't have the slightest intention to taste any fine steak or high-end red wine, she didn't know what she had eaten, and she wasn't sure if she was full.
Ma Dan, this, where is this meal, it's just a special sin!
finally stayed up until the end of the meal, Cousin An carefully watched how others did it, and then secretly followed along.
followed everyone to the living room, holding the teacup, learning from the girl's appearance, and elegantly holding the English fine porcelain teacup, Cousin An seemed to be alive again.
That, although during the meal, it didn't feel very good, and she seemed to be embarrassed.
However, she still found it very novel.
She even thought that when she returned to China and saw those relatives and friends, she would be able to brag to everyone again.
Haha, do you know how people with money and status eat their food?
Do you know what real Western food is?
Know—
Not only did she know it, but she experienced it herself.
When she was "served" by the British butler, Cousin Ann's vanity was the most satisfied, and she inexplicably had the illusion that she was also a British nobleman.
Because of this vanity, because of this novelty, Cousin Ann was a little uncomfortable except for the first day, and she even enjoyed some other days!
She said to An's father and mother in an envious tone more than once: "Oh, it's good to still be rich." In the past, when I looked at that Downton Abbey, I still felt how unattainable the nobility was. ”
"But after living here these days, I realized that any nobleman, as long as you have money, you can live any kind of life!"
"Cousin, cousin, you are still blessed. This day is more enjoyable than filming a TV series!"
Father & Mother: ......
They could see that when my cousin faced the British housekeeper, she was obviously very weak and ashamed of herself, but why was she still envious?!
It seems that even if she suffers from sin, even if she will feel inferior, she is willing to live such a life?
In order for herself to really live such a life, Cousin An did not hesitate to hit her daughter with her idea.
She found Anne, accompanied by a smiling face, and discussed in a good voice, "Shishi, among those friends you know, are there any single boys?"
