Chapter 43, Xu Family (2)

What Mrs. Xu didn't expect was that before she could say no, Zeng Rong stood up and saluted the Bai family and thanked her.

Because Zeng Rong's original intention was also to enter the Splendid Workshop under the name of the Bai family, therefore, after hearing the Bai family's words, he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly got up and gave a thank you gift, "Ah Rong thank the second wife, Ah Rong will do a good job." ”

"But you are only twelve years old, and you are from the countryside, how many years have you studied embroidery, and who did you study?" Xu Ou interjected and asked.

What Mrs. Xu thought of, she also thought of.

"Granny Liu, who studied under the academy, has not been for a long time, less than three months, but Granny Liu said that I have a high talent in this area." Zeng Rong pondered and replied.

She couldn't lie about this matter, not to mention that Zeng Hua was still on the side, but she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would also find out her details.

"Ah, in less than three months, you dare to say that you want to be an embroiderer? Well, you might as well stay at home and practice for a few days. Yang said, it just so happened that she didn't want to accept Bai's favor, and she was afraid that Zeng Rongzhen would cause her some trouble.

"It's okay, so is my sister-in-law, I've said it all, wouldn't it make Miss Zeng laugh if I regret it at this time? Don't worry, since Miss Zeng dares to speak, she must also have her confidence. After Bai finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled at Yang again.

In fact, this matter is indeed not difficult for her, even if Zeng Rong really can't do the embroidery work, she can learn from the master of the embroidery workshop, but it is just to raise her for a period of time in the early stage, and she will not take this little money to heart.

And the reason why she wants to keep the Zeng Rong sisters is that on the one hand, she really wants to add some blockage to the Yang family and let her accept her favor, on the other hand, she doesn't know why, she always feels that Zeng Rong's aura is a little elegant and indifferent, not like she was born in a small family, but she has a fight with the Yang family, so she moved her heart to support her, maybe she can really bring her some surprises.

Taking a step back, even if she looked away, she would only lose a few taels of silver, and to her, it was not even a drizzle.

Old Madam Xu saw that the matter had come to this point, and she couldn't say anything more.

Coincidentally, the maids began to set the table, and Mrs. Xu put this matter aside for the time being.

Thinking of waiting for no one to say a few words to the Bai family in private, don't let Zeng Rong get started, and formally worship a master first.

This meal, Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua sat at the same table with the old lady to eat, in the words of the old lady, the identity of their sisters is Xu Jing's life-saving benefactor, and they are the distinguished guests of the Xu family, as it should be.

Zeng Rong is okay, he has lived in the Xu family for many years in his previous life, and these rules and etiquette have long been immersed in his heart, so compared to Zeng Hua's stiffness and confusion, Zeng Rong's performance is amazing in the eyes of everyone.

After the meal, Xu Ou, Yang, Bai and others couldn't help but ask Zeng Rong if he had studied and learned etiquette, and learned that Zeng Rong had only learned to read and write with a gentleman for a few days, and had never officially entered school.

"Ah, could it be that you're a genius? Just two months of learning embroidery, I dare to say that I entered the big embroidery workshop to be an embroiderer, and I heard and witnessed that the rules learned in a few days can be compared to our boudoir lady who has a special person to teach? After speaking, Bai Shi specially glanced at Yang Shi and smiled meaningfully.

On the other hand, Xu Jing also boasted to the juniors of the Xu family about Zeng Hua's skills, going to the mountains to collect medicine, going down to the river to fish, digging pheasant nests, going to the lake to touch wild duck eggs, catching grasshoppers and roasting them to eat, and knowing a lot of wild fruits, knowing what raspberries and snake bubble fruits are, and most importantly, treating the wounds of poisonous snake bites.

These are new and interesting for the children in the city, their daily life is probably inseparable from this yard, in addition to reading and learning rules and etiquette, the rest is to eat and sleep, and occasionally go to the street to participate in some classmates or world friends or something, but that is still inseparable from the high walls and tiles, inseparable from the rules and etiquette, how can there be those wild fun that Xu Jing said?

In fact, Xu Jing is the same as them, he also followed the old lady back to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, only to find out that there are so many unknown things outside the books, although they are vulgar and cannot be elegant, but it is undeniable that the happiness they bring him is real, and it is also nostalgic and worth recalling.

"That's true, your sister is just six years old, and she knows so much? Identifying herbs is not an easy task, isn't it? Xu Ou heard Xu Jing's movements, and also felt that there were a lot of peculiarities in these sisters.

She didn't know anything else, but she had a pharmacy under her name, and it was said that the apprentices in the pharmacy would have to learn one to two years just to identify herbs, how old was Zeng Hua?

What's even more incredible is that she dared to go directly to Xu Jing to treat Xu Jing, which happened to be successful, what if it was delayed or misjudged? Did she think about the consequences?

"Back to the second aunt and grandmother, we countrymen deal with the land every day, even if we don't know those herbs on weekdays, they are familiar, and they are naturally faster to learn than ordinary people, just like you people in the city study, even if you don't know these words and words, but you talk more and listen more on weekdays, and Mr. will definitely teach you." Zeng Rong took the words and didn't let Zeng Hua say it.

The main reason is that Zeng Hua can't speak the official dialect of the capital yet, and can only listen to a little simple, and Zeng Rong deliberately brought a little accent from his hometown in order not to arouse everyone's suspicion.

"This kid really doesn't look like he's from the countryside, and he's not stage frightened at all, and the more I look at it, the more I like it." Bai smiled.

It's rare to see someone dare to talk to Xu Ou like this, and she is still a country girl who is nothing, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels comfortable.

Also, the Yang family also boasts of being a scholarly family on weekdays, and she spends a lot of energy teaching her three children, but the Bai family feels that compared with Zeng Rong, it is also very ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it.

"The second wife praised it falsely, Ah Rong is ashamed, I just ask everyone not to laugh at our sisters." Zeng Rong knew about the festival between the Bai family and the Yang family, but she wanted to please the Bai family to enter the Splendid Workshop, so she had to give up the Yang family and Xu Ou.

"How many years have you been studying?" When Yang heard the word "false praise", he couldn't help but ask.

"Mrs. Hui, I really haven't officially entered the school, but I have only lived in the academy for three months, and I have been somewhat edified." Zeng Rong replied respectfully.

"Okay, don't tease this kid, it's been a long journey, presumably they're tired, come on, send them back to Dusk Cloud Pavilion to rest first." Old Madam Xu spoke.

Although she also had doubts about Zeng Rong's knowledge, she was more suspicious of the kid surnamed Ouyang, but this topic was obviously not suitable for such an occasion, so she took the initiative to relieve Zeng Rong.

And she was telling the truth, she was tired all the way, and when she came back, she really needed to rest.
