The car maid hesitated for a moment, according to the rules, he couldn't go without being summoned, but since the Qi steward had ordered, it should be fine.

The maid gently pushed open the narrow door of the partition and looked into the carriage.

Then, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

Kneaded it again.

Then, she simply slipped in, groping every seat in disbelief.

"There's no one in there." The steward Qi who was rushing outside with the car maid said, with panic and uneasiness on his face.

There is no need for the maid to say, Steward Qi can see it himself.

Where did such a big living person go?

Steward Qi felt that the whole person was not good.

"Oops!" Steward Qi remembered the man who was inexplicably lying under the carriage. The man was obviously unscathed, but he couldn't get up, so he pestered for a long time, and finally begged for ten copper plates and left--he couldn't afford to spend it, so he was in charge of the beggars.

Now that I think about it, it's a big mistake. Judging from the man's clothes and his skill in drilling under the cart, is it possible to pass away ten copper plates?

Thinking about it further, there is also a problem with the honor guard of the second-rank senior who forced the carriage into the alley. There are so many leading highfoot cards that I didn't pay much attention to it, and I couldn't remember which one it was.

Steward Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore.

……

……

Xia Xiaodong was finally hungry and was about to walk away to find something to eat, when he saw the Qi steward galloping on horseback.

Steward Qi's face was ugly, sweat was left on his face one by one, I don't know if it was urgent or hot, when he saw Xia Xiaodong, his mouth was crooked, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"I heard what seemed to be movement ahead. I didn't leave the car when I waited for it, so I came down and took a look. As soon as he came, the carriage left. Xia Xiaodong explained helplessly: "I also shouted twice behind me, probably the sound was too small, and you didn't hear it." ”

Steward Qi shook his mouth, and didn't think for a while whether there was a problem with Xia Xiaodong's statement.

Sounds reasonable.

Are you thinking too much?

It was a long time before the carriage arrived. This time, the girl with the car simply didn't stay in her original position. He knelt in the middle aisle. Except for serving Xia Xiaodong and eating something, he stared at Xia Xiaodong's feet at other times, for fear that this person would suddenly disappear again.

……

……

When I arrived at Lu's house. It was already a little dark, and I tossed back and forth on the road for almost a day. Along the way, Steward Qi had to check whether Xia Xiaodong was still in the car every quarter of an hour, and mercilessly made himself dusty and tired, so that the little guy at the door almost didn't recognize him.

The mansion of the Lu family. It was much larger than any mansion Xia Xiaodong had ever seen. The carriage stopped at the door, and immediately a woman with a green cloth curtain came up. The road from the carriage to the side door was tightly sealed.

Seeing such a battle, Xia Xiaodong stabilized his mind and pressed the idea of taking the burden in his arms - this kind of thing will be arranged in the future, and there is no reason to let the girl do it herself.

Of course, I can walk alone. But Xia Xiaodong still held the arm that was handed over by the car maid who bowed down, and walked slowly step by step.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to do this tune, and I entered the side door.5./books/19/19507/

Xu Jun I is peerless. The azure silk sedan chair was ready. The maid with the car helped Xia Xiaodong into the sedan chair and signaled that the two mothers-in-law standing next to him could carry them away. He took a few steps back, staggering against the wall—the errand was finally done.

Thinking of losing this girl once, the car maid still couldn't help but sweat coldly and was very afraid.

According to the family rules of the Lu Mansion, if such a mistake occurs, the consequences are quite terrible.

The sedan chair was lifted quickly and steadily, and it took a full meal before it stopped in front of the hanging flower door somewhere.

"Miss Xia is fine." A familiar voice came from outside the sedan curtain, and it was Mama Ji beside Lu Yunzhi.

Xia Xiaodong was slightly taken aback. Mama Ji is not an ordinary grandmother, she actually came to greet her, but she didn't expect Lu Yunzhi to return home, and she still valued herself.

But I haven't seen her for a few days, Mama Ji is dressed very solemnly and decently, and her whole body is extraordinary, she doesn't look like Mama, but like a lady.

The two were acquainted, and at this time they walked together, chatted casually, and soon arrived at a large courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by a wall, and rhododendrons are planted all over the roots along the wall, all of which are trimmed to a height of no more than two feet, and the white walls and green wood are refreshing and eye-catching. The courtyard gate is on the southeast side, and a maid has already opened the door, and when she saw Mama Ji and Xia Xiaodong coming, she hurried forward to say hello and lead in.

"No, it's just dinner time, Miss Yunzhi is in the old lady's house." Mama Ji said with a smile: "Miss Xia is here, and she also wants to meet the old lady, get to know the sisters, and go back to eat together." ”

Since the Lu family is a relative, dinner is no longer dinner, but dinner.

There is a difference in one word, and the grade is different.

Xia Xiaodong had already made up his mind, listening more and watching more, talking less and moving less, and just nodded yes at the moment.

At the door of the main room, there were two maids standing with their hands down, first respectfully bowing, and then turning around and raising the door curtain alone, and the voice of the warbler in their mouths said: "Miss Xia and Mama Ji are here." ”

An old lady in her regular clothes and a blue-gray forehead sat on the Taishi chair, accompanied by about seven or eight young girls on both sides, all of them sitting upright on the chairs, and even the teacups on the small high table next to the chairs were almost in the same position.

Are these people really gathered here to gossip and wait for dinner together, not sitting in a meeting? Or are you practicing some rules or manners, or whatever?

All eyes were on them. After a brief look, they turned away quietly.

It is rude for people to come in and not react; It's also rude to stare at someone all the time.

Lu Yunzhi sat on the first chair on the left side of the old lady.

Xia Xiaodong was invited by her. Lu Yunzhi naturally stood up quickly and greeted with a smile: "Sister Xiaodong is here, come in." ”

said that he would first introduce Xia Xiaodong to the old lady above: "This is my grandmother, the old lady of our family!" ”

Immediately, a maid came over to spread a brocade mat and serve Xia Xiaodong to salute.

In fact, kneeling can be labeled as humiliation, but it can also be seen as a courtesy.

In the era before the invention of the chair, everyone knelt on the mat, and when they wanted to speak, they also needed to 'kneel', that is, kneel straight and long. When the King of Qin saw Fan Ju, he 'stumbled and pleased', not to understand it as 'kneeling and begging', it was just an eager gesture.

Coming to an era where you need to show respect, you have to create a bow or something, that's not looking for abuse.
