Chapter 114: Meet Mrs. Zuo (1st Update)
Madame Zuo's servant couldn't help but change his face slightly, and his eyes were a little disdainful.
Zeng hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, the child is still young and prone to sleepiness." ”
Mrs. Zuo's indifferent gaze swept over Qi Qingyu, she was indeed sleepy, "It's not mine, I made the guests wait for a long time." He made a gesture of please and motioned for Zeng to sit in the small flower hall.
"Madame is serious, Madame is very busy, it is an honor to take the time to meet us." Zeng was a little frightened when he heard this, and he didn't dare to raise his head for fear of offending. Waiting for Mrs. Zuo to go in and sit down on the main seat, she led Qi Qingyu into the room.
Mama Hu stopped Li Zi and Mama Li outside. And Mrs. Zuo's close attendant entered four.
"Sit down." Mrs. Zuo's courtesy is thoughtful, not perfunctory.
"Mrs. Xie." Zeng hugged Qi Qingyu and sat in the first seat of the guest seat, "Six girls, Mrs. Zuo is here." She held Qi Qingyu's face worriedly, hoping that she would come to her senses.
"Please come over, mainly to design hairpins for our old lady, but the sixth girl doesn't seem to be in good spirits, so forget it." Mrs. Zuo seems to know very well who is supporting the scene in the Qi family.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was pinching people, and she had to pinch it. Qi Qingyu sighed in her heart, this is definitely an old fox, seeing through her pretending to be asleep because of dissatisfaction. If someone else pretends to wake up quickly, but she is a child, she might as well continue to pretend and wait for her mother to wake up.
"Please forgive me, Madame, the child has been running around with the women in the past few days and has not slept well." Zeng's family was busy making apologies, and called Qi Qingyu lightly, "Six girls, it's Mrs. Zuo who is here, please make the old lady's hairpin, it's a great honor." ”
"Hmm...... Mother. Qi Qingyu blinked her big eyes vigorously, looked left and right, and when her reddened eyes saw Mrs. Zuo, her scattered eyes quickly gathered, and she said in surprise: "Mother, look, there is a Bodhisattva here." ”
"Hehe......" Before Zeng could react, Mrs. Zuo laughed. What a coaxing little mouth, sit down. ”
Zeng blessed himself and sat down in the seat by the door.
Mrs. Zuo immediately motioned for fruits and refreshments to wait, and the maidservant who tied the ribbon was Bo Shi Fandel. The cheeks were pale and rouge, all of them were smiling and polite, and even the people watching from the side were in a relaxed and refreshing mood.
That's hospitality.
No matter how lowly their status is, they are the guests she personally invited.
The small bump in Qi Qingyu's heart shrank a little. looked at Mrs. Zuo innocently and asked, "Are you Mrs. Zuo?" "Don't really say it, Mrs. Zuo looks like the Guanyin statue with seven points.
"Exactly." Mrs. Zuo smiled, and her plain eyes were also looking at Qi Qingyu, "You are the little girl of the Qi family?" ”
Qi Qingyu jumped off the ground and bowed down in a regular manner, "Yuzhang Qi family Qi Qingyu greets Mrs. Zuo." ”
Mrs. Zuo bowed slightly, "Originally, your status was humble, even if you brought in a box of gold, you couldn't see me." ”
Although Mrs. Zuo has a gentle tone, like an amiable elder. But what he said really made people uncomfortable to hear.
Qi Qingyu didn't seem to understand, but she still looked at her with curiosity, but Zeng's face had changed, she was originally lowering her eyebrows, but now she was lowering her head and didn't dare to look at people.
"But if a friend recommends it, I'll just sell face. Now that you're here, those extraordinary skills should be brought into full play, not to mention amazing talents, how can you teach people to look at you differently. Mrs. Zuo's eyes looked flat. In fact, it is as sharp as an eagle, and it does not show mountain dew in the sky, but it has already locked the prey.
"Madame is right." Qi Qingyu bowed down gently.
"But why did you make trouble as soon as you left the house?"
Qi Qingyu didn't know why, and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zuo in amazement.
"The first time I didn't go through the side door, I went to the front door. Lost the rules. There are no rules, you are still young, I don't blame you. Mrs. Zuo stretched out her plump palm, made a gesture of please, and motioned for Qi Qingyu to sit down.
"Mrs. Xie is not responsible." Qi Qingyu pouted her little pink mouth and returned the salute obediently.
Immediately, a maid wearing a green silk jacquard bichica stepped forward and carried Qi Qingyu to her seat. He took out a plump peach, took out a small knife from the small purse on his waist, and sharpened it silently.
Another handsome maid gave Zeng's tea, and Zeng's hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, almost knocking over the teacup.
Mrs. Zuo said kindly: "Mrs. Qi doesn't have to be restrained, just treat it as the head of the family." ”
"Mrs. Xie." Zeng Shi was shocked into a cold sweat, and only then sat down and took a sip of hot tea, so that his hands did not tremble so much.
The rich fragrance of tea spread, attracting Qi Qingyu to take a look, but at a glance, his greedy eyes stared at the sweet peach.
Mrs. Zuo chuckled and said, "You're welcome." She also symbolically sipped tea gently, behaved elegantly and luxuriously, and waited patiently for Qi Qingyu to finish eating the peach larger than the palm of her hand.
"Mama Shu, this girl should be punished, why should the six girls hold it and eat it." Mrs. Zuo looked at Qi Qingyu, who was full of peach juice and minced peach meat in one hand, frowned, and turned her head slightly to order Shu Yue behind her.
Zeng Shi was shocked again, but he couldn't say a word of apology or reproach, and hurriedly took out the silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe Qi Qingyu clean. Rao is the scolded maid is fast, and she has already held water to wipe Qi Qingyu.
"Mrs. Qi is not busy, there is a maid in this matter." Shu Yue said with a smile.
"Whoa." Zeng answered and sat down again.
Qi Qingyu didn't say anything, and let others fiddle with it.
"Getting back to the point, why did you drop the jade pot spring porcelain in Miss Eleven's courtyard today? You are so frizzy, who dares to hand over the face of Taijun Dashou to you? Mrs. Zuo's eyes became a little sharp, with a hint of reproach and expectation, waiting for a good explanation.
Qi Qingyu raised her eyebrows, glanced around with a clear gaze, and said on the ground: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the folk girl is humble, after entering the mansion today, Mama Hu led the folk girl and her mother to the small flower hall, and it was the lady of your mansion who forcibly pulled the folk girl to the courtyard." ”
Next, Qi Qingyu performed and vividly relived what happened in the east wing of Baoping Courtyard. more vividly retold the conversations between Zuo Lingxiang and Zuo Lingxi, Second Mrs. Zuo, and Aunt Guo word for word.
Mrs. Zuo's calm face showed a hint of joy and nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, with Qi Xin's intelligence, it was in vain that she betrayed Mrs. Chen's favor and invited the Qi family.
"In your opinion, what does this mean by ominous?" Mrs. Zuo now looked at Qi Qingyu's eyes a little different from Fang Cai, and she was full of appreciation.
"Back to Mrs. Talk, first relieve the anger of the people's daughter." Qi Qingyu blinked, and in an instant, it was as if he had changed someone, so delicate that there was still a little bit of a greedy child's face.
"Heh, I don't know who treated the six girls slowly?" Mrs. Zuo didn't say anything, it was Shu Yue who spoke, "The slave maid will teach her a lesson." ”
"Spring flowers." Qi Qingyu was not polite at all.
Chunhua is the daughter of the third lady's foreign affairs grandmother, she has always looked down on people, and she also came to Rufeng that day, how could she offend people? "I see." When Shu Yue heard this, she didn't dare to make up her own mind, and looked at Mrs. Zuo and waited for her to decide.
Mrs. Zuo looked at Qi Qingyu, "Why should I punish her?" "There has to be a clear reason.
Qi Qingyu said with a smile: "Treat the lady's guest slowly." "That's it, that's enough. (To be continued.) )
