CHAPTER XV
Xu Jiayi blinked her eyes and listened as if she didn't understand.
According to the old lady's meaning, Zhao asked Mama Zhao to find a few more stable grandma after returning from Wan'an Hall, and finally left a person called Chang Mama after the school entrance examination, and sent it to the east guest room, and specially told Chang Mama to teach the two girls well.
Cui knew that this was what the old lady meant, and he didn't dare to object.
In fact, Cui Shi thinks that it is a good thing to have a mother to teach her daughter. What does this mean, it shows that although the old lady is angry, she also values her daughter.
Although the days of living in Shangshu Mansion are not long, Cui Shi understands the truth that mothers are expensive with children.
As long as her daughter can marry into a prosperous and wealthy family in the future, then she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, let alone look at the old lady and Zhao's faces all the time!
is because of the matter of learning the rules, the Cui family is very positive.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was Mrs. Mu's birthday.
Early in the morning, Xu Jiayi was woken up by Xiangqiao from her sleep, and after dressing up for most of the hour, she simply had breakfast, and Xu Jiayi took Xiangqiao all the way to the main house, and at that time, Zhao and Wang Yunxiu were also fully dressed.
Not long after, Qian also arrived.
Considering that there will definitely be a lot of people in Jiaqing Bofu today, the Zhao family and the Qian family did not bring more maids, but only brought one person to serve with them. Wang Yunxiu also left his personal maid Lan Xue in the house.
Xiangqiao originally wanted to serve by Xu Jiayi's side, but when she saw this, she could only rest her thoughts, and personally sent Xu Jiayi and a few people into the carriage and set off, and then returned to Jiaxi Garden.
Although today is a major event in Jiaqing Bofu, there are many officials and families who come to congratulate him on his birthday, but the maids and servants in the mansion are all stable, even if they are busy, they are also smiling with a smile on their faces, and they don't see a trace of annoyance.
It can be seen from this that Jiaqing Bofu is a disciplined person.
When the Zhao family arrived at Jiaqingbofu, it was only a long time, but Jiaqingbofu was already crowded outside the door at this time, and the carriages and servants of each mansion were blocked for a long time, and the servants of the Bofu were dredged by the side, and it took a long time for the carriage of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to arrive at the main gate of Jiaqingbofu.
Zhao and Qian stepped on the small pestle and got out of the carriage, and Qian turned around and personally hugged Wang Yunxiu and Xu Jiayi out of the carriage. Then the coachman drove the carriage and followed the servants who cleared the crowd, and found an open space to stop the carriage so that the people behind could come as soon as possible.
The Zhao family led Wang Yunxiu, the Qian family led Xu Jiayi, and before a few people could stand still, the servants of the Jiaqing Bo Mansion came forward to salute and apologize, "Let the two ladies wait for a long time, there are many nobles in the house today, if there is anything that treats the lady and the girl slowly, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"It's okay." Zhao replied with a slight bow.
Today, most of the officials and their families in Yanjing City are here, and there are too many people to be busy, so it is naturally not possible to do everything, and Jiaqing Bofu can be regarded as doing a good job.
The servant woman bowed her head, "The old lady is in the flower hall, please come with the slave and maid." ”
The houses of Jiaqing Bo Mansion have long been separated, and now the eldest son of the mansion is Mu Wu, the eldest son of the house, and the protagonist of today's birthday banquet is his mother, Mrs. Mu.
The servant woman led the Zhao family and the others on foot for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at their destination, which was the flower hall where Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Mu met with the ladies today.
A few people looked up and saw that there were already many people in the flower hall.
When I entered the flower hall, I saw Mrs. Mu on the main seat. Mrs. Mu is kind and kind-looking, and she smiles when she sees everyone. Although he is already sixty years old, his spirit still looks good.
Seeing that the Zhao family and the Qian family came to congratulate the birthday, they also greeted with a smile, "Don't salute and sit down, I just talked about you two girls, but it happened that you arrived." ”
In fact, this is just a polite sentence, but it is heartwarming to listen to people.
The maid moved a soft seat for Zhao and Qian, and after the two sat down, Zhao and Qian chuckled and said a few polite words, and then introduced the two girls they brought to Mrs. Mu.
Wang Yunxiu and Xu Jiayi were also instructed at home, and at this moment, seeing that Mrs. Mu's attention was on herself, she immediately stood up and saluted Mrs. Mu, and said two more pleasing words, and Mrs. Mu said bluntly that these two little girls are smart and clever, which makes people like it very much.
"Look what the old lady likes about these two girls," said Mrs. Bo with a smile, "Finland, like frost, you two must keep a close eye on your two little girls, and be careful that the old lady goes to your house to steal the children, and I will not pay for it when the time comes." ”
Qian Rushuang is the name of the Qian family.
As soon as Mrs. Bo said this, all the ladies in the room covered their lips and snickered.
"It's okay if you don't pay for it, when the time comes, I'll take your family style brother back, and see if the old lady is reluctant to change it back."
When Mrs. Bo heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
Xu Jiayi stood aside and smiled when she heard the words, and the pear vortex on her face was faintly visible, and people couldn't wait to hold her in their arms and love her.
It's no wonder that Shangshufu is reluctant to give up this girl, she is really a likable.
Mrs. Bo smiled and asked people to take some small golden beans and distribute them to the girls of each family, and when she gave them to Xu Jiayi, she deliberately grabbed a large handful and stuffed them into her purse, so happy that Xu Jiayi smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Mrs. Bo." ”
Mrs. Bo smiled and pinched Xu Jiayi's cheeks, "It's not fun for a few children here, there are a lot of flowers in the back garden of the house, let the little ones go to the garden to play, and bring them over when the banquet is open." ”
After the death of Old Man Mu, Mrs. Mu liked to play with some flowers and plants to pass the time. After Uncle Jiaqing learned about his mother's hobby, he often collected some exotic flowers and plants to come back to make the old lady happy.
In addition, it is the season of spring flowers, and the flowers in the back garden are very cute. Even the people of their own house always go to the garden.
Children just love these brightly colored things, and they can't sit still if they are held here.
Zhao told Wang Yunxiu and Xu Jiayi a few words, and saw that the two girls nodded obediently, and they were very relieved.
Qian Shi glanced sideways slightly, and said to the maid behind him, "Liu Wu, you don't have to wait by my side, follow the two girls, and take care of them." ”
"Yes, the slave saved."
Mrs. Bo sent maids to lead the girls and young masters from all the provinces to the back garden together.
With the children around and the new arrival of officials and their families in the flower hall, the house was always in full swing.
The flowers and plants in the garden are planted in a patchwork in the garden, which is very chic. Coupled with the pavilions and water pavilions that suit the scene, as well as the sparkling lake water under the sun, take a deep breath and only feel fragrant and refreshing.
Xu Jiayi looked in the east and west, and felt strange to see everything.
Although Shangshu Mansion is not bad, compared to Jiaqing Bofu, a noble family that has inherited several generations, it is still a little thin.
Wang Yunxiu and Xu Jiayi walked hand in hand all the way, and the two little girls whispered from time to time. Suddenly, Wang Yunxiu paused, and said in Xu Jiayi's ear with some embarrassment, "I have some ideas to compliment." ”
"Then you go." Xu Jiayi hurriedly replied, and suddenly thought that this was not in Shangshu Mansion, they didn't even know where the Gongfang was, so after thinking about it, she turned around and asked Liu Fu, "Sister Liu Wu, do you know where the Gong Fang in Bofu is?" ”
Xu Jiayi didn't suppress her voice to speak, but as soon as she asked what she said, everyone around her turned their heads to look at her. Wang Yunxiu secretly tugged at Xu Jiayi's sleeve, and her little face turned crimson with shame, "Yiyi, you be quiet." ”
"What's this, isn't it possible that the people in Jiaqingbo's Mansion are not as good as the toilet?" Xu Jiayi blinked a little strangely.
"I don't know where the slave and maid are, but you can ask someone." Liu Fu said loudly, and happened to see a round-faced maid who sent melons and fruits to the pavilion and was about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
After listening to Liu Wu's question, the round-faced maid stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction, "If you walk about a hundred meters forward from this road, there will be a gong room." ”
"Cousin girl, the slave maid will accompany Miss Yun to Gongfang first, can you wait for us here first?" Liu Wu originally wanted to take Xu Jiayi with him and come back later, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Xu Jiayi's excited appearance.
"Yes, you can go and come back quickly."
Liu Wu was still a little relieved, so he asked the round-faced little maid who had just asked, "This sister, can you please take care of my second girl, I will be back soon." ”
The round-faced little maid turned her eyes and glanced at the girl that Liu Wu said, and when she saw her pink carved appearance, she only felt that her heart was about to be cute, and nodded in response.
Liu Wu thanked him again, and then led Wang Yunxiu to the direction pointed by the round-faced maid just now.
Not long after Liu Wu left, a maid who looked like a steward came over, seeing that the round-faced maid was standing in place and did not move, she couldn't help frowning a little unhappily, and stepped forward to lower her voice and whispered a reprimand, "If you are lazy, you have to choose a day, everyone in the house is busy today, what are you still doing standing here, why don't you go to the kitchen to help." ”
"I'm not lazy, it's ......" The round-faced maid subconsciously wanted to justify, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"I still want to quibble," the steward's brows furrowed a little tighter, and it happened that someone was calling her not far away at this time, so she stopped her reprimand, turned around and said, "Okay, I'm busy, I don't have time to listen to your explanation, go and help!" ”
The round-faced maid bit her lip, glanced at Xu Jiayi, and saw that she was enjoying the flowers by herself, thinking that nothing would happen to the flowers here, and the sister should be back soon, so she didn't explain anymore and bowed her head and said "Yes ......", and then walked away to help in the kitchen.
