Chapter 19 Check-in
Sure enough, Rong'er lived up to expectations, and Jin Lian scolded Chi Shang as a grandson, I have to say that the people who came out of their palace have self-taught professional talents in nitpicking eggs and picking bones, although the current Rong'er has not yet reached the level of being able to make a Mary Sue heroine like a little white flower in a few decades** The skill of stacking the mouth and slanting eyes, but it is more than enough to deal with a little devil who is interested in blowing up his hair with us, and the blood vessels of the kid who are trained every word are beating wildly but he doesn't dare to turn his face with us, I suddenly feel that if Rong'er pulls out a steel needle to stab this kid in the back, this kid screams like a little girl and faints, then the picture is perfect.
In the end, it was Chishang who lowered his noble head, sincerely apologized for his negligence in the etiquette of welcoming guests, and pulled out a large number of male servants and maids hula hula at the back door to line up in two lines to welcome, and we walked into the back door of the mansion with the steps of the victor who won the first battle.
The whole Xie family mansion, covering an area larger than a poor county government building, the interior decoration is not comparable to those county magistrate's offices that rely on the Central Poverty Alleviation Fund to renovate, originally I wondered why such a majestic castle looks only six floors, after coming in, I found that the ceiling of each floor of the house is seven or eight meters high, in order to place the huge crystal chandeliers that can be seen everywhere, we went up the spiral staircase with inlaid mahogany handrails and soft carpets, and finally were arranged in two luxurious rooms with several bedrooms on the east side of the fourth floor。
Someone cautiously came over to ask if they needed to help us open our luggage and put our clothes in the closet, and after getting our approval, we hurried down to work, while we gathered in the living room boredly, drinking high-end black tea that we were absolutely reluctant to buy in the lazy afternoon sun, lamenting that we were really not enough to adapt to the life of being served.
"I said, were we a little too much just now?" I asked Rong'er: "Although it is a little devil who takes the initiative to provoke, isn't it a bit ...... for us to be so unkind?"
Rong'er shook her head and interrupted me: "You don't understand, our war with the Xie family has begun, the master of the Xie family doesn't want to see us uninvited people, although the face work has been done, it doesn't mean that we won't condone the disgusting people below who change their tricks, if we don't suppress this group of things in momentum, let them know that we are not easy to mess with, do you think they will be so polite? We can live in a big house now? Maybe we will all be rushed to the firewood house, and we won't even have to drink saliva!"
As she spoke, Rong Er walked to the windowsill and wiped a handful on the window lattice: "Look at how much dust has accumulated here, this house must not have been cleaned in advance for us to move in, or this house is not planned to be lived in for us at all!
I don't have to ask and believe in Rong'er's judgment, after all, this is a well-deserved aunt and grandmother in terms of intrigue, so far I can only be glad that we brought this bold and spicy, understands the various human means of the rich and noble and is extremely good at the strange woman of the wealthy family, otherwise we will be knocked on the head by someone when we first arrived, and we can't find the north, and I trembling under the shouting of the next person to move into the broom room, and I want to find someone else's master to ask for a billion?
Because I realized that this group of seemingly respectful guys in front of us are a group of dogs fighting people, I also learned from Rong'er to borrow the window glass was not wiped clean and had a big temper, until today I didn't know that I was bitter and mean to be the same as Zhou Papi, it is estimated that after I left, these people who were trained by me to be bloody will definitely be a straw man and write my name every day, but anyway, Lao Tzu scolded him so well, and scolded the girls' heads into the cavity!
It turns out that the feeling of tearing is so wonderful......
After packing up and taking a nap for the long journey, another servant knocked on the door and said that the restaurant on the second floor would be ready for a welcome dinner at six o'clock, and the current hostess of the Xie family would be officially present at the dinner to welcome our arrival, and at the same time, the eldest young master of the Xie family, that is, Xie Erdon's younger brother, would also rush back from the university where he was currently studying before the dinner began.
Jiang Shasha told me that generally this kind of formal welcome banquet needs to be attended in formal attire, at least it has to be a suit and leather skirt to show respect for the host's family, I was originally worried that Rong'er was an old antique who had traveled through the country heard that he was going to wear clothes that exposed his arms and ankles, and he would immediately reprimand it as the world's morality was declining, and he swore to die rather than give in, and finally wore pot-bottomed shoes with a flower pot head, and a long handkerchief in his hand and a horse coat and cheongsam to attend the dinner, and even made up a strange reason why Rong'er was the last descendant of the royal family to wear in line with the rules of the ancestors on formal occasions, but I didn't expect Rong'er to take a look at the European-style dress and long skirt that Jiang Shasha prepared for her in advance, just nodded silently and honestly followed Jiang Shasha to change clothes, without the slightest crazy shouting of "let the old lady show her arms, the old lady would rather die" feudal thinking.
Later, I asked an expert who studied folk culture about this matter, and the expert told me that in fact, in any period, subjective concepts such as human values and worldview have a tendency to move closer to the measurement standard recognized by the majority of the society, that is to say, if the majority of people in a group agree with something, even if the new joiners have different views on this matter in the original group, they will quickly reverse and compromise their concepts in the new group, naturally understand that we have low moral standards here...... Phew! Open-minded and tolerant, wearing the same clothes as the girls here, showing up, although I feel weird in my heart, but it's not a big deal, naturally I won't be like those old stubborn people with rusty heads, and I would rather die than change, and eventually become the object of being pointed out and ridiculed.
Speaking of the object of being pointed out and ridiculed, I couldn't help but shoot at Xie Erdong again: "Where did you get this checkered striped suit!? And that shirt with a little penguin pattern! Is there such an anti-human and anti-social guy among the clothes sellers?
