Chapter 60: The Visitor
In the next few days, Wang Jin was really busy. The pen %fun %pavilion promised Jiang Qingliu and Qin Ziming www.biquge.info that their purses would be done overnight, and the cotton had also entered the budding period and needed to be taken care of with extra care. However, she was full of energy and did not feel too tired.
I received a letter from the city the day before yesterday, and today is the day when Jiang Qingliu and his party return to Jinling, and they made an appointment to come to dinner when they passed by at noon. The whole family was busy early in the morning. Chen took the children to boil hot water, pick vegetables and wash vegetables, and Wang Jin was busy by the stove. For a while, the kitchen was crowded with people, the sound of crackling stir-fry continued to sound, and all kinds of fragrances dispersed.
Today, Jiang Qingliu did not take a carriage, but rode a horse with Qin Ziming Min Chong, wearing a feather blue arrow sleeve suit, his hair was tied very tightly, his posture was loose, and he was extremely sassy. Walking near the small courtyard, he could already smell the aroma of food, and Qin Ziming smiled with a smile: "I don't know what Miss Wang is doing delicious today!" ”
Wang Mu, who was in charge of reception, saw them coming and immediately greeted them. He first saluted respectfully to the three of them, and his usually serious little face rarely had a shy smile, helped them tie up their horses, and made tea in the living room, like a little master.
While trying to remember how his father used to greet guests, what did they talk about? On the one hand, he asked Qin Ziming like a little adult if he had eaten well in the past few days, asked how Min Chong slept well, and asked Jiang Qingliu if everything was done. Such a serious posture made Qin Ziming hide behind the teacup and snicker.
was glanced at obliquely by Jiang Qingliu, he immediately closed his voice, and heard Jiang Qingliu say gently to Wang Mu: "How did you read the book I sent you last time?" ”
When asked about his studies, Wang Mu immediately sat up straight and replied seriously: "I'm watching it for the third time, and I can't read some of the content yet, so I plan to read it a few more times." ”
Jiang Qingliu nodded: "It should be so." If you have a solid foundation of basic skills, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in the future. Wang Mu was naturally convinced of his words, and he was already planning to read those books well.
"Did you deliberately let you receive us in this front yard today?" Jiang Qingliu smiled slightly.
Wang Mu was a little embarrassed, nodded and said: "The eldest sister said that I want to start a family business as soon as possible, not only to study and study splendid articles, but also to be able to gain insight into human feelings and practice the world." I also hope to be able to share some of my family's worries as soon as possible, so I will take the opportunity to learn from the reception of guests. His little face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and muttered, "Am I not doing well..."
"Hmm... It's not very good. Jiang Qingliu gently put down the tea bowl and said. Qin Ziming and Min Chong on the side were a little surprised, I don't know why Gongzi would say this. And Wang Mu raised his head and looked at Jiang Qingliu with a small mouth, a little ashamed and sad, and more confused. Even if he knows that he is not good enough, who will teach him these things?
"For me, the most important thing in dealing with people is to be neither humble nor arrogant." Jiang Qingliu looked at Wang Mu quietly and said, "This is one word, and it is two attitudes. For example, if you have tenants in your family, you also have a lot of contact with ordinary villagers, including the poor. In the face of them, you have to be not overbearing. Even if you have achieved fame and fame in the future, you must always keep in mind the original intention of reading. If you have a relationship with a chaebol and a powerful person, you must also uphold the way of a gentleman to be humble. He smiled and continued, "When I say that you are not good enough, it is not that you have not been humble or arrogant, but that your performance just now is limited to form and has lost your nature. The relationship between relatives and friends can be natural and genuine, and there is no need to be a formality of care and greetings. ”
Wang Mu nodded vigorously, and then laughed happily. Did Brother Jiang mean to be good friends with him just now, so can you write to him for advice in the future?
Qin Ziming and Min Chong had already come back to their senses at this time, probably because the prince was going back to Jinling, so he wanted to give him some guidance on how to treat people.
"Big brother, Brother Jiang, Brother Qin, Uncle Min, eldest sister said it's time to eat!" Wang Tang stumbled over and stood in front of a few people. Qin Ziming looked at her so cute and cute, he couldn't help but pick her up, scratched her little nose and said, "What did Tang'er prepare for us today?" ”
Tang'er grinned and grabbed Qin Ziming's hand and said loudly: "Tang'er and eldest sister made a lot of beautiful rice balls today!" Put it in the yard and eat it! ”
Qin Ziming was stunned for a moment, then he was very interested, and he couldn't wait to take a look. Jiang Qingliu seemed to sense his urgency, and raised his eyebrows to look at Wang Mu. Wang Mu reacted immediately, stood up and said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Qin, Uncle Min, please follow me." ”
The group walked to the backyard and saw two square tables put together under the shade of the acacia tree in the courtyard, Wang Shi was putting dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Wang Hibiscus was moving chairs. She wore a stone blue cotton shirt and pants today, and in order to facilitate her work, she rolled up her cuffs a few times, revealing a small section of her tender lotus-like arm.
Seeing that Wang Jin was struggling to walk with a chair in one hand, Qin Ziming put down Wang Tang and was about to help, but Jiang Qingliu in front of him had already stepped forward.
"I'll come." He was just about to take the chair in Wang Jin's hand, but he saw a touch of tenderness, and he couldn't help but pause, and he didn't dare to look at it again. He took the chair and placed it next to the table, and walked two steps aside, "Where's the rest of the chairs?" ”
Wang Jin wanted to be polite, but felt too hypocritical, so he pointed to the east ear room. Jiang Qingliu nodded slightly, walked over in three or two steps, and saw that he was carrying two chairs in one hand, and easily moved the chairs and put them away in two trips.
What about his guards?
Stay in the same daze. When will Childe do housework?
What about Wang Hibiscus?
It's also a bit of a stupefi. Sure enough, it looks thin and muscular!
"It's serving! Hey, sit down! Chen came over with two plates and woke everyone up, so they all sat down.
On the one side of the four, Wang Mu was arranged with Jiang Qingliu and the three of them, and the Chen mother and son sat opposite.
"Mother, you sit, just a few plates, I'll bring them over in a while, you just entertain guests here." Wang Jin smiled and pressed Chen, who was about to get up, picked up the long bamboo tube soaked in the well water from the wooden barrel at his feet, turned to the three guests, and said, "I think you definitely don't want to drink this summer, so I took some watermelon juice and sour plum soup from the well water, and poured it for you." ”
Qin Ziming hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube in Wang Jin's hand, and said again and again: "No, no, we will come to eat and drink twice in three days, so why is it embarrassing to let the girl serve." Let me do all this service work today, otherwise I will be embarrassed to eat more! I'm very interested in what Tang'er said about the rice balls! After speaking, he suddenly realized that it was not good, and said that he would eat and drink and forget it, and bring his son in, but he would suffer. He secretly glanced at Jiang Qingliu and was relieved to see that his face was as usual.
Wang Jin thought that it was indeed an acquaintance who didn't need to be so particular, so he threw off his hand and let him go and serve the food himself.
In the gap between waiting and waiting, they all drank some juice to cool down, only to feel a chill from their throat to their stomach, and the dryness all over their bodies was gone. The red watermelon juice is sweet and pleasant, the crimson sour plum soup is antipyretic and appetizing, and there is a fresh breeze under the tree, which is simply fairy-like refreshment in the hot summer. However, everyone's hearts and minds are naturally the highlight of the meeting.
