Zeng Rong didn't fully believe Chun Tao's words, she guessed that Zhao's mother must have sent her, in order to dispel her suspicions, she deliberately pulled Chun Tao to ask some things about the Bai family, after all, she was going to work in the Bai family's embroidery workshop, so it was reasonable for her to inquire about the Bai family.

It's a pity that Chun Tao doesn't know much about the Bai family, she is only ten years old, and she is doing rough work sweeping and watering flowers on Xu Jing's side, and she rarely has contact with the people in the second room, and although her mother Zhao's mother is the Yang family's confidant, she will definitely not tell her children about the privacy secrets of the master.

Fortunately, the sky soon darkened, Zeng Hua came in with Chunxing, the two of them were sweating, Zeng Rong used the excuse of bathing Zeng Hua, and Chun Tao had to leave with Chunxing.

After some washing and bathing, Zeng Rong taught Zeng Hua to read a passage of "Three Character Classics" under the lamp, and also told her the story of "Meng's Mother Chooses Neighbors" in the book, and then asked her to practice calligraphy in front of a red book, while she picked up a copy of "Selected Poems of Taibai" and read it.

In fact, in the previous life, she also read a lot of books with Xu Jing, including some poems and songs, but after marrying him, she was riddled with mundane things, and dealing with Wang Chuchu every day was enough to make her tired.

Not to mention, she was killed twice in a row, and she didn't get pregnant again for a long time, so she was busy asking for medicine and conditioning her body, how could she have the heart to go to the wind and snow?

Therefore, in this life, she needs to pick up these things again, without him, just so that she can pick up the conversation when she has the opportunity to contact those young ladies in the future, and don't let her vulgarity scare people away.

Another point is that she is preparing for her future design embroidery patterns, without a little poetic elegance, but she is afraid that the things she designs will not be able to enter the eyes of these nobles.

The two sisters read a book and practiced calligraphy, the room was quiet, and I don't know how long it took, Zeng Rong heard the movement of Zhao Dasheng coming back, and also heard the movement of Zhao's mother closing the door, and I don't know if she was too careful, she felt that Zhao's mother stood in front of her window for a while before leaving.

After breakfast the next day, Zeng Rong told Zeng Hua a few words, which was nothing more than asking her not to go out of the door, but to read books and practice calligraphy and practice needles at home, and then followed Zhao's mother into Xu's mansion again.

Zhao's mother took her directly to Bai's courtyard, and Bai's was waiting for Mrs. Xu to dine at that time, so Zhao's mother accompanied Zeng Rong to stand under Bai's corridor for about a cup of tea, and then saw a bunch of maids and women hugging Bai's money into the door.

I have to say that Bai's pie is indeed very sufficient, probably because of the fear of tanning, the maid on her left helped her hold up a peach-colored oil-paper umbrella, and the maid on her right hand held a goose feather fan and slowly fanned it for her, and she herself was wearing a pine-green narrow-sleeved shirt, and the lower body was a moon-white long skirt, with a light texture, and it was a high-grade cloud silk at first glance.

It's just that, it's rare that the embroidery on the clothes and skirts is not ordinary, especially the lotus flowers on the skirts, red, pink and green leaves, very realistic, with the human body shakes and moves, as if a number of lotus flowers are moving slowly.

From this, Zeng Rong concluded that her dress must have taken a lot of work, and it definitely didn't come from the Xu family's needlework room.

Relatively speaking, Yang is much more modest, her clothes are basically equipped in the house, and even if there is embroidery, it is only embellished on the neckline or cuffs and skirt.

"I've seen the second wife." Zeng Rong hurriedly went down the steps to greet him and curtsied.

"Coming? All settled? Bai glanced at Zeng Rong as he walked, Zeng Rong was still wearing a cotton skirt today, the top was lake blue, and the skirt was also moon white, very clean and translucent, no embroidery, this dress was rushed out on the way to Beijing.

"Second Mrs. Hui, settle down."

Bai wanted to ask her how she lived, why she was so anxious to go to work, but when she looked at Mother Zhao beside Zeng Rong, she asked instead: "Have you seen the eldest lady?" ”

Zhao Dasheng's family smiled and said: "Not yet, the eldest lady will only be afraid that she will not be available, thinking that it is the same to come to see the second wife first, yesterday the eldest lady ordered the slave maid to bring a few words to Miss Zeng, and the slave maid has already told her properly." ”

Bai Shi smiled, "In that case, then let Mother Jiang take it." ”

Behind him, a woman in her forties stood up, bowed and replied, "Yes." ”

"Remember, just say what I mean, this Zeng girl is the life-saving benefactor of our Xu family's head and grandson, don't be slow." Bai commanded.

"The second wife really upset Ah Rong when she said this, Ah Rong has just arrived, since he followed the masters to learn from scratch and work diligently, so as to live up to the second wife's recommendation." Zeng Rong said busily.

Bai Shi stopped when he heard this, tilted his head slightly and looked at Zeng Rong, and soon, the corners of his mouth curved into a pleasant arc, "Very good, not bad, a little interesting, so let's go to work first, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me." ”

"Thank you so much." Zeng Rong bowed down to the other party again, took a few steps back, and waited for Bai to go up the steps and enter the door before turning to leave.

Out of the courtyard where the Bai family lived, Zeng Rong said to Zhao's mother: "I also asked Zhao's mother to give me a respectful speech to the eldest lady for me, and said that Jiang's mother sent me to the embroidery workshop, and I can't delay it, and I will come to the old lady and the eldest lady after finishing work in the afternoon." ”

Zhao Dasheng's family didn't want to take Zeng Rong to see the Yang family, so he directly brought it to the Bai family, so he nodded when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, the eldest lady is only afraid that she will not be idle, how many people are waiting for her to reply, and she can spare some time in the afternoon." ”

Mother Jiang on the side said with a smile: "In this case, her Aunt Zhao is also busy, don't delay the eldest lady's business, I can take Miss Zeng alone." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Dasheng's reply, Jiang's mother added with a smile: "By the way, the sun is a little big this time, and I also ask her Aunt Zhao to talk to the eldest lady and send us a car, it doesn't matter if you bask me, it's not good to bask in Miss Zeng." ”

"I've already prepared the car, I'll accompany you to have a look, and when I come back, I'll give an account to the old lady, and ask Sister-in-law Jiang to be considerate." Zhao Dasheng's family said.

When Jiang's mother saw that the other party had brought out the old lady, she couldn't refuse, so she turned to Zeng Rong and asked Zeng Rong what he did in the countryside before, how he met Xu Jing, and how he treated Xu Jing.

While speaking, the three of them walked through a long corridor and turned into an east-west sandwich road, Zeng Rong knew that this was to avoid the courtyard where the eldest lady Yang and the old lady lived, this east-west sandwich road led directly to the back garden, and there was a door in the back garden to go out of Xu's mansion.
