Chapter 67, Two Sentences (One Update)
When Xu Jing asked Zeng Hua how Zeng Rong practiced good handwriting, Zeng Rong also entered Xu's mansion and stood in front of Mrs. Xu.
It turned out that Mrs. Xu wanted to ask Zeng Rong how she met Ouyang Ji, and Yu Yunqing came to the Bai family to inquire about Zeng Rong's origin, and the Bai family would definitely inform the old lady of such a big thing.
Before this, Xu Fushan had already asked someone to inquire about Zeng Rong's past, and knew that she had nothing to do with the Ouyang family and had no contact, but in just a few days, there were rumors that Zeng Rong and Ouyang Ji knew each other.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu ordered her grandson to call Zeng Rong, she didn't believe that she was deceived and calculated, and wanted to give Zeng Rong a chance to explain.
Zeng Rong learned how he met Xiaoqing and how he met the master and servant in Jinxiufang.
"Back to the old lady, I don't know who Miss Ouyang's father is, and Miss Ouyang never asked me where I came from, but then she asked me to customize a few purses, saying that she wanted to bring some wild tricks from her hometown, as for anything else, she didn't ask, and I didn't say, this is the rule of Jinxiufang."
Old Madam Xu raised her eyes to look at Zeng Rong, as if judging whether she was lying.
Zeng Rong looked back, with a calm face.
"I believe in you. Although you were brought into the capital by me, you did not sell yourself to my Xu family, so it is also a good thing that you can get to know a few more ladies of the boudoir, which will be beneficial to you in the future. I called you here today, just to tell you a few words, you are still young, little knowledge, pure temperament, may not know the hearts of the outside people, I teach you two words, one is for no merit, the other is for no desire, if you can do these two things, you will not let yourself stand in a difficult place. ”
"Zeng Rong remembers the teachings of the old lady, and he will always remind himself." Zeng Rong solemnly saluted the other party.
Although she didn't agree with these two sentences, or rather, she agreed, but she couldn't, because she knew very well what the purpose of her trip was.
Only then would she feel guilty.
Subsequently, the old lady asked Zeng Rong about her daily life in the embroidery workshop, and Zeng Rong picked some things that could be said, such as how much more money she could get for the patterns she designed herself, saying that the purses she embroidered with patterns such as cicadas, gnats, and grasshoppers were not enough to sell, and that a purse in the embroidery workshop gave her an extra hundred wen to buy her patterns and let others embroider with her, and said that she could receive a total of how much wages she could receive this month, etc.
Mrs. Xu obviously didn't expect Zeng Rongzhen to gain a foothold in Jinxiufang, and she could really support their sisters with her own skills, so in addition to being shocked, she felt a little pity for this girl again, and she understood why she had to follow her to the capital.
It turns out that she has her own reliance and her own confidence.
It's just that such girls generally have a high heart, and they may not be able to maintain their original intentions and intentions after a long time, which is why she has to beat her twice, she is really afraid that this child will go the wrong way.
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Zeng Rong was led to see the Yang family again, but the Yang family didn't ask anything about the Ouyang family, she only asked what Zeng Rong had done this month and whether he could do the job.
After seeing Yang's, Zeng Rong simply took the initiative to visit Bai's, firstly to thank her for her kindness, and secondly, to tell the other party that he liked this job very much.
After such a delay, it was already dark when Zeng Rong returned to Zhao Dasheng's house, but fortunately, Zhao's mother knew that she was going to see the Bai family, so she waited for her outside the Bai family for a while, and the two went home together.
Along the way, Zhao's mother didn't ask Zeng Rong about his daily life in the embroidery workshop, Zeng Rong basically picked out something to say, but this time she mentioned Liu Gonggong, didn't say that she had seen it, only said that she saw two eunuchs come to the door today, and then pretended to be unintentional and said: "No wonder there are so many embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, they are still hired from the south, and it turns out that the palace will also come to buy things." ”
Zeng Rong's original intention was to get involved with Gonggong Liu, so as to ask whether the things in the Qing Jinxiufang were sold to those masters and ladies or to those palace maids.
Who knew that Zhao's mother didn't answer Zeng Rong's words at all, but said: "In this case, you stay away from them in the future, don't bump into others, the shopkeeper will embroider whatever you want, and don't pay attention to anything else." ”
Seeing that he couldn't talk about this topic, Zeng Rong changed it again, talking about Zeng Hua and Chunxing.
These days, Zeng Hua has been playing with Chunxing's sister and brother almost every day, which has made Zeng Hua suffer a lot of homesickness, and it has also made her feel a lot more at ease from a safety point of view, so she has to thank her.
While talking, the two arrived at the door of the house, and before they entered the door, they heard a crisp laugh from the yard, and then heard Chunxing's loud voice.
It turned out that Zeng Hua and Chun Tao, Chun Xing and Xu Jing were playing on the swing, when Zeng Rong entered the door, Chun Xing was standing on the swing, she was bold, and she pushed Chun Tao and Zeng Hua a little higher.
Because the light in the yard was a little dim, as soon as Bu entered the door, Zhao's mother didn't see who was in the yard, but her daughter's voice could definitely be heard, so her face was a little unbearable, and she reprimanded first: "What kind of words, how did I discipline you, and what kind of body did the girls yell at?" ”
"Mother Zhao, it's okay, they're all children, and it's understandable to be happy." Xu Jing spoke.
With this opening, Mother Zhao's face became even more ugly, "Ouch, my little son, why are you here again?" ”
"Grandmother ordered me to send some peaches and melons to Sister Ah Rong, and by the way, because I saw Sister Ah Rong leave, I was worried that Sister Ah Hua was afraid, so I stayed to play with her for a while, but Sister Chun Tao came back and left me to accompany them on the swing." Although Xu Jing didn't like the tone of Zhao's mother's questioning, she still answered in a proper manner when she remembered the identity of the other party.
"Ouch, how can you come in person for this kind of trivial matter, son, it doesn't matter who it is, just send someone here, who is the person who follows you? It's dark, I don't know if the old lady and Mrs. will look for you, just blindly messing around with you? Mother Zhao squinted at the two figures standing in the dark.
Seeing the heart and seeing the sex, the two hurriedly stepped forward to flatter Zhao's mother and smiled, "Zhao's mother, let's leave now, and ask Zhao's mother to take care of it more, we know how to do it, isn't this also a rare trip to see the son, so we delayed for a while." ”
"It's really rare to come once, let's go." Xu Jing couldn't bear to embarrass the two little guys, so he said busily.
Actually, when the Chun Tao sisters came to him, he wanted to leave, but Chun Tao had to keep him, saying that Zeng Hua liked swings, so it was better for a few of them to swing and play, and said that there were many people, so he stayed.
He was worried that his mother would be unhappy if he went back late, not to mention, he would go back from here.
