Chapter 425: Slackness
Shuangxi's three consecutive questions made the housekeeper's face look very ugly, of course he knew that it was not appropriate to do this, but the matter was ordered by the lady. As a subordinate, he can only do so.
Tang Chu pursed his lips, and his face didn't look good.
Double happiness is a sharp sword for Tang Chu at this moment, saying what is in her heart for her.
Seeing Tang Chu's personal maid questioning, the housekeeper replied stubbornly, "Miss Cousin, that's the case, the gate is open for the official family on weekdays, and other relatives of our Zeng family enter the door through the corner gate." ”
The housekeeper's words were not lies, after all, the relatives of the Zeng family were not as rich as theirs, so in order to show that her identity was different, when those who were poor relatives in her opinion came to visit, she asked people to open the corner door.
Today, Tang Chu was treated as a poor relative for a while, and in the eyes of Mrs. Zeng, the Tang family was still the one who only had a few unprofitable shops ten years ago, so when she heard that Tang Chu came to visit, she didn't take her seriously at all.
"I didn't expect that after a few years, my uncle's family style has changed so much. In the past, when my mother was still alive, she always entered through the main gate openly, but how did she change the rules when she was now my aunt's housekeeper? is really a tide of heaven and a courtier. Tang Chu couldn't help but sigh.
The housekeeper laughed awkwardly, only thinking that it was really a chore to come out to greet Miss Biao today.
"Is my cousin at home?" Tang Chu asked again, thinking that it would be good to meet her cousin.
"Miss Hui, the young master and the master have gone out to discuss business together, so it will take an hour before they come back." The butler said.
"In that case, there is no need for us to wait. Go and tell your aunt that if we open the gate, we will enter openly, and if we enter through the corner gate, then there is no need for this relative to continue. Tang Chu spoke very hard, which made the housekeeper in a trance, those relatives who came before, whether it was the master's side or the lady's side. Almost all of them are holding them. Let you enter through the corner door and obey directly, where is it like Miss Table.
The butler blinked, the first time he encountered this situation, he didn't know what to do. So he bowed to Tang Chu and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back and tell Madame, and ask Miss Cousin to wait." ”
Chef Tang had no intention of embarrassing him. He nodded faintly.
Zengjia's gate was closed again, and Sweet and Sour had no intention of waiting underneath, so he got into the carriage.
The duo pouted, looking obviously unhappy. "Miss, why do you say that my uncle is so powerful? I saw us as the lower riba people, and walked through the corner gate. Who doesn't know that the corner gate is walked by the maid woman! ”
"Don't mind, I'm not angry, why are you angry? After the death of his mother, the relationship between the two families was not as good as before, and it was inevitable that he would be unfamiliar. But that's how my aunt treated us. When my uncle comes back, I'll see how his attitude is. If my uncle and aunt are of the same mind, then we will know what to do in the future. Tang Chu said indifferently.
Tang Chu himself said that he was not angry, but how could Shuangxi, who grew up together, not see that Miss was suppressing her anger.
"Yes, that's how it should be, we're just here to visit, just ordinary relatives, but we are treated like this. If the uncle comes back, his attitude towards the young lady is still indifferent. Then we won't be here in the future. Shuangxi said angrily.
The two men sat in the carriage and did not notice that more and more people were whispering around not far away.
"The Zeng family has been powerful in the past two years, but their actions have become more and more inappropriate, I think they are towering trees with unstable foundations, and it is a matter of time before they fall."
"Alas, how many years have people been rich, even if they fall, they will be stronger than us, not to mention that they are going to marry an official family in the capital, maybe what will happen in the future!"
"I think this young lady is really tough, that's how it should be, let the guests enter through the corner gate, and that's why they have set this rule!"
"It's really hard to say about this matter, although the Zeng family's business has been getting better and better over the years, but since the death of his old lady, Mrs. Zeng has become more and more domineering!"
The people watching the excitement on the side of the road were talking about the gossip of the Zeng family, and when they saw Tang Chu getting into the carriage with Shuangxi, they didn't leave, and they wanted to continue to see if there was any new excitement here.
"Madame!" The housekeeper ran back in a hurry, and in the front hall, Mrs. Zeng was entertaining guests, and when she saw that the housekeeper was so rude, she was afraid that she would lose her meeting, and scolded, "Come in without going through the ceremony, what are you like!" ”
The housekeeper was anxious for a while, and then he reacted, so he repeatedly accused, "Madam, it is the sin of the villain, but the little one has something important to tell Madame!" ”
Mrs. Zeng is in her forties, and if she has a well-maintained face, she looks like she is in her thirties, most of the people in their noble lady circle are like this, not to mention, their Zeng family runs the largest rouge store in Yunzhou, and she has more experience in taking care of her skin.
However, Mrs. Zeng's face was very mean, and the gentleness that she had pretended to be was completely destroyed because she glared at the housekeeper angrily just now.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled at the young lady on the side and said, "Miss Yun, wait a minute, I'll go back!" ”
The guest at Zeng's house was Miss Yunsi who appeared with Zhang Zhiyu in the Tang Ji Rouge Shop, her face was very beautiful, and after listening to Mrs. Zeng's words at the moment, she smiled lightly, "It's okay, Madame will go get busy first, I will also leave, and I will have the opportunity to gossip with Madame again." ”
Mrs. Zeng was reluctant to let her eyes look eager, but she was not from her own family, how could she have been staying in Zeng's mansion, so she said with a smile, "That's okay, I'll go to the temple to burn incense in two days, and Miss Yun will also be with me, my son is stubborn, and they all said that Miss Yun will visit her today, but she was still delayed by the family's business!" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Miss Yunsi's beautiful face, and finally turned into nothingness.
"It's okay, I still have to stay in Yunzhou for a while, and I will have a chance to meet my great-brother." Miss Yun Si said.
"Good, good. I just like Miss Yun's temperament, everyone who comes from the capital is different! Mrs. Zeng held Miss Yunsi's hand and said with a smile in her eyes.
"Yun Si is ashamed, Madam should be busy first, I have to leave too." Miss Yun Si was a little shy, and she looked even more lovable.
"Okay, I'll have you out!" Mrs. Zeng sent a few capable maids to send Miss Yunsi out of the house, she was the wife of the Zeng family, so it was naturally impossible to send the other party out of the house in person.
After Miss Yunsi left, she was still sighing, "Look at the young ladies who came from the capital are different, generous and decent, gentle and virtuous, such a comparison, the official ladies of Yunzhou who introduced me before have been compared to the soil, and they are just small jasper." ”
