Chapter 554: Abnormality
Mrs. Zheng came to find Begonia, and saw that Begonia was still a little reluctant, and misunderstood, thinking that Begonia was still reluctant to determine the glory and wealth of the palace, and waited a little, seeing that Begonia was still there and looking around, she urged: "Begonia girl, it's not early, there is still a lot of work after going out, come with me first, if there is anything left, go back and say, I will help you get it." ”
"I don't have anything to leave behind. Begonia is like this, and there is a sigh, at that time was deceived by the uncle to sell, out of the clothes he was wearing, nothing could be left, and then he went to the prince's mansion to be a singer for a living, and other people can save a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, etc., only her, there is no money left in her hand, and she can use it as much as possible, and she can eat as much as possible.
Now I'm leaving, except for a few small pots of tea that are valuables, there is nothing valuable or meaningful at all, I thought about it, and said to Zheng Niangzi: "Zheng Niangzi, I don't have any good things, just in the house, many gadgets are made by me, not valuable, just a heart, can you help me give it away, it is also a parting thought." ”
Zheng Niangzi smiled: "The girl is really kind, I have heard that Miss Begonia has a pair of dexterous hands, these things are very fine, I think everyone will like it." ”
"It's a pity that I don't have anything to say goodbye to. Begonia was a little melancholy again.
"After the girl went out, the world was big, and some of them were friends to make. Zheng Niangzi persuaded, "Which tea house is close to Xue Niang's house, they are all out of the palace, and the girl can come and go more often in the future." Maybe you can find a good marriage, most of the girls who go out of the palace are blessed, you look at Xue Niang, Liu'er and they don't have a good life, by the way, you may not know Liu'er, who used to be a young maid in the palace, and later married a master who taught martial arts in the palace, and then the man was recommended to the yamen to be the head catcher. Yancheng's head-catching is also an eight-pin. Liu'er has become an official's wife in a blink of an eye, which is so enviable. ”
"The maid is different from us after all. Haitang smiled bitterly, the maid is innocent, like her. After several tosses. But he didn't lose his innocence. But who can believe that an ordinary girl, let a man take a few more looks, it is a big loss. Singers like them, in the eyes of outsiders, are not much different from ordinary Qinglou women.
"The girl is much more blessed than Liu'er, and she has nobles ......to take care of her," Zheng Niangzi said this, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed her mouth, and hurriedly closed her mouth.
Haitang had already heard the point and asked, "What nobleman?"
"Nothing noble. Zheng Niangzi said vaguely, "Oh, I'm talking about the owner of the tea house, that is indeed a nobleman, a noble lady, that is indeed a good place, to get such a job, is your blessing Haitang." ”
Mrs. Zheng is a little out of the preface.
Haitang felt even more strange, so she simply sat down and said: "Zheng Niangzi, you are lying, if you don't make it clear, I won't go, I'm a big living person, I can't help myself when I was a child, and now I can't go with people without being clear." ”
"Eh, Miss Begonia, aren't you embarrassed for me? I've told people that everyone has cleaned up their places, and everything is properly arranged, how can you not go?" Zheng Niangzi panicked.
Haitang said: "I just think this thing is too strange or strange, for no reason...... It's not that I don't believe in you, Mrs. Zheng, it's just ...... My lesson since I was a child is that there is no good thing that falls from the sky, and you always have to be taught a lesson if you don't work hard. ”
"Miss Begonia, look at what you said, how can this be unearned? You are here to help, it is a cheap thing to say. Zheng Niangzi was even more anxious, this begonia thing was packed up, and she was about to leave the palace, and suddenly came out like this, how could she explain it to others?
Haitang saw that Zheng Niangzi was anxious, and she was even more puzzled, but Zheng Niangzi didn't tell the truth, and she didn't want to be pressed, so she was so deadlocked.
Mrs. Zheng is easy to say, she just doesn't move.
Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to go out first.
After a while, Begonia saw the big girl green vine next to the princess coming.
For the big girl beside the princess, Haitang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up to move the stool and make tea.
Green Vine stopped her and said, " Begonia girl, don't be busy, I will leave after a few words, Zheng Niangzi will say everything about you, no wonder you have such doubts in your heart, I will tell you the truth, this is actually a good intention of the princess, I hope that the girls in this princess have a good home, other girls who are willing to marry are married, and there are other places to go to find another way to make a living, and you are left, you don't want to go, Dingwangfu can't force you to go, this is our idea to do the next person, I want to help you arrange a good place, listen to the steward said that you are quite proficient in the tea ceremony, just right, the princess's relatives have opened a tea house, but a person who knows how to do it, it will come to you, it can be regarded as finding a better home for you, of course, the premise is that you have to be happy, if you really don't want to, you can still continue to stay. ”
Hearing the green vine say this, Begonia was relieved, it turned out that the princess wanted to send the girls in the backyard of the palace away, which was reasonable, the princess did this earlier, and sent the sisters in the palace one by one in various names, but this princess is indeed not like the general unreasonable housewife, and she insists on sending people away, which is naturally willing to the sisters.
Only she is too afraid of life outside and doesn't want to leave, and the princess may not notice that she is such a little singer, probably the way people below think of it.
It's just that after relieving her heart, Haitang hesitated a little again, is this really as good as Zheng Niangzi said, in case she goes out and is not adaptable, wouldn't it be called every day and the earth is not spiritual?
Seeing Haitang's hesitation, Lu Teng said: "That's it, Miss Begonia, you go out with Zheng Niangzi first, if you really don't like that errand, you can come back, you look at this huge glazed courtyard, it's empty and empty, you come back and continue to live, it's equivalent to looking at the yard, and it doesn't hinder anything." There aren't many people in the house who eat with you. ”
Zheng Niangzi also continued to persuade, "Begonia girl." We're really doing it for your good, and what do we get in this matter? It's a really good opportunity, it's better than staying in the house and staying up like that, right?"
Haitang looked at the green vine, then at Zheng Niangzi, and finally nodded.
Zheng Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led Haitang away.
Mrs. Quan's house.
After Mrs. Zheng took Begonia to Mrs. Quan's house, she handed it over to Mrs. Quansi, for fear that Begonia would regret it again or something else, so she hurriedly left first.
Mrs. Quan Si looked at Begonia with a smile. I looked at her hand. said: "Sure enough, she is a very clever girl, tell me, what are you good at?"
Haitang slowly introduced what she was good at to Mrs. Quan.
Mrs. Kwon asked Begonia to identify several kinds of tea leaves, and tried to make tea. Look at the skillful appearance of the begonia. She was clearly satisfied.
I am introducing the situation of the tea house to Begonia. Suddenly, the little maid came to report that Mrs. Meng was coming.
I heard that Mrs. Meng was coming, and Mrs. Quan Si couldn't take care of Begonia. Let the little maid accompany Haitang first, and go out to greet Mrs. Meng in person.
When she saw Mrs. Meng, she smiled and said, "Sister, what kind of wind is blowing you here today? ”
Welcoming Mrs. Meng to the living room, Mrs. Quan Si asked the little maid to make tea and snacks, and was busy entertaining Mrs. Meng, for fear of being a little neglectful.
After Mrs. Meng sat down, she said, "I can't come to see you if it's okay, can I come to your house for a visit?"
"Of course you can, sister, are you a distinguished guest that I can't invite?" Mrs. Quan Si knew that Mrs. Meng would not be so interested, but since Mrs. Meng said so, she followed Mrs. Meng's words.
After chatting a few words, Mrs. Quan Si proposed to take Mrs. Meng to her own house to have a look.
Mrs. Meng was in that mood, but she did not refuse Mrs. Quan's proposal and followed Mrs. Quansi out.
After walking, I walked to the small flower hall where the begonia was.
Seeing the begonia, Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Quan Si then remembered that there was another guest at home, and she met in two places, but she couldn't introduce it, but Haitang's identity, how could she tell Mrs. Meng? To tell the truth, I was afraid that Mrs. Meng would be embarrassed, and I was even more afraid that Haitang would be embarrassed, so I didn't tell the truth, I didn't get angry with Haitang just now, and it was obviously not easy to lie.
While she was hesitating, Mrs. Meng asked, "Who is this girl?"
Mrs. Quan Si was about to grit her teeth and panic, but Haitang still spoke first, saluted Mrs. Meng, and said softly: "My name is Begonia, and I have seen Mrs. Meng." ”
"Is this your niece?" Mrs. Meng asked casually when she saw that Begonia's appearance and temperament were not like ordinary maids.
Mrs. Quan Si was about to say yes, but Haitang spoke again: "No, I went to the tea house to help." ”
The tea house helped, and Mrs. Meng looked at Mrs. Quan Si with inquiring eyes.
Mrs. Quan Si saw that it was not feasible to lie, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, sister, I run a tea house, and this girl is proficient in the art of tea, so I asked her to help in the tea house." ”
"I see. Mrs. Meng had something on her mind, and she didn't want to delve into anything, but finally asked casually, "What did Miss Begonia do before?"
"I used to work in the Dingwang Mansion. Haitang finally saw that Mrs. Quan Si didn't want many people to know her identity, so she panicked.
Hearing the words Dingwangfu, Mrs. Meng's heart moved, and she was carefully looking at the begonia, this begonia temperament and demeanor, it really didn't look like a maid, so she asked again: "Where is the errand in Dingwangfu?"
Seeing that she couldn't dodge, Haitang glanced at Mrs. Quansi, and saw that Mrs. Quansi had no intention of stopping her, and said honestly, "I am a singer in Dingwang's Mansion." ”
The singer of Dingwang's Mansion, Mrs. Meng was a little puzzled, and looked at Mrs. Quan.
Mrs. Quan Si said: "There are talents in the Dingwang Mansion, I heard that Miss Begonia is good at this, I am a woman, the business of the tea house is not good, and I directly discuss with men, so I asked Miss Begonia to help." “
Mrs. Meng knew that this was definitely not Mrs. Quansi's own meaning.
Mrs. Quan Si is short of manpower, and she doesn't need a singer to help, she must have been ordered by Xiaofu again, speaking of which, this Mrs. Quan Si is not Xiaofu's real mother's family, but she is closer to Xiaofu, what is the matter, Xiaofu is done through Mrs. Quansi, but her real mother's family has not helped anything.
In front of Begonia, Mrs. Meng didn't want to ask Mrs. Quan Si directly, and when she came out of the small flower hall, she quietly asked Mrs. Quansi: "What's going on? Could it be that King Ding got a new beauty from where?"
Mrs. Quan Si felt that since she had already let Mrs. Meng know, she didn't have to say anything, and said: "It's not, this begonia was in Dingwang's Mansion before, and now almost all the beauties in Dingwang's Mansion are almost gone, and this begonia doesn't want to get married, is there any other place to go, Xiaofu knows, so he asked her to come here to help." ”
"Xiaofu is kind. "Mrs. Meng has long heard that the people in the house are very good, and she bothered to help them be matchmakers and arrange a good place, I thought it was just for the maid to win a good reputation, but I didn't expect it to be the same for the singer in the house.
Just thinking of this, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but feel a little depressed, this little blessing is good to everyone around her, but it is only for her mother's family.
Mrs. Quan Si observed her words and looked at Mrs. Meng's unhappy appearance, so she asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Meng seemed to be complaining, and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little emotional, Xiaofu is really good to the people in the house, even the singer has worked hard to arrange a place to go, how much effort does it take, I'm afraid I can't take care of anything else, right?"
Mrs. Quan Si said: "It's nothing to worry about, most of them are thought by the maids, speaking of which, the maids around the princess are very powerful, and they can see the master's thoughts and arrange them, which may be the things that the maids inquired about in advance, and the princess ordered, speaking of which, for the master, it may be a matter of moving his mouth, for these maids or singers, it is indeed a life-changing event, which can be regarded as a good deed, sister, do you say yes?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Meng came to her senses, felt that her tone was a little bad, and hurriedly echoed and covered it up, after all, how Xiaofu treats people is Xiaofu's business, and she has no reason to complain about anything as a mother-in-law, but she just heard the words of Mrs. Dequan say that she does good deeds and accumulates blessings, so she asked along the topic, "Does this Xiaofu often do good deeds recently." ”
"I guess, the princess has always liked to do good. "Mrs. Quan Si is not sure what Princess Ding does on weekdays, she has not had a lot of contact with Dingwangfu strictly speaking, that is, the other party told her to do it, she just did it, she didn't understand Princess Ding's actions on weekdays, but she just inferred that she was so good to a singer, not to mention anything else, this kind of thing was more than once, and she used to ask her to help the old girl in the mansion who couldn't get married.
