Chapter 183
Under Shen Mengzhuo's repeated requests, Yan Ming did not go to the private school with him, mainly because he felt that it was too eye-catching! Here, even the son of the landlord's family will not take a servant with him when he goes to a private school, not to mention that their Shen family's big house is only an ordinary rich family in this Xiangfu Village. Yanming had nothing to do at home, so he ran errands in front of Shen Zaishi first.
Xiaoju now almost undertakes Shen Mengxi's big and small affairs, and treats Shen Mengxi as a noble girl in a high-ranking family to serve, and she really doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers! Xiao Ju also took the initiative to take care of Chen Mo very sensibly, Chen Mo changed clothes, made the bed and folded quilts, Xiao Ju was doing it, and she would help Wu cook when she was free. Shen Mengxi saw that she was not bored or dissatisfied at all, and was very satisfied with this personal maid, and rewarded Xiaoju with two silk flowers given to her by the Lin family. This is what Chen Mo taught her, how to reward the servants under her hands, and the most appropriate amount of reward!
Every night before going to bed, Chen Mo would tell Shen Mengxi in the form of a story about the rules in the high-ranking family, which were conventions and were not within the proper etiquette norms. Chen Mo will also talk about some private things in the big family from time to time, so that Shen Mengxi can understand in advance, so that he will not be framed and suffer losses in the future!
On this day, just after finishing the morning's study, Shen Mengxi was about to continue practicing the acupuncture method that Chen Mo taught her, when she heard a noisy sound outside, and there seemed to be the sound of gongs and drums.
Chen Mo was the first to react, stood up suddenly, and threw Shen Mengxi's dress that was embroidered in his hand onto the bed, "Miss! This is the official who came to deliver the good news! Get out and greet you! Xiaoju, you go to the orchard immediately and invite the old lady and them back! ”
Xiao Ju happily responded to the wind and seemed to run out, Shen Mengxi was still in a daze, so he was pulled out of the door by Chen Mo and trotted outside the courtyard gate. Seeing a team of people beating gongs and setting off cannons slowly towards their house, Shen Mengxi reacted at this time and shouted: "My father has been lifted!" ”
Chen Mo's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he nodded excitedly: "Yes!" Yes! I'm here to bring us good news! I don't know how many places the master won? ”
The official messenger who delivered the good news had just walked to the door of the Shen family's big house, and here Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhilei ran back sweating profusely.
"It's hard work!" Shen Zhilei panted and bowed.
The two officials who came to deliver the good news smiled and saluted Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhilei, and then one of them looked at Shen Zaishi and asked, "Excuse me, this is Shen Jieyuan's mansion?" ”
Shen Zaishi's heart pounded after hearing this, and he couldn't say a word excitedly, only nodding vigorously.
Seeing his father like this, Shen Zhilei had no choice but to answer the official's words with a smile: "Yes! Poor master, has my eldest brother Shen Zhixin been lifted? ”
"Isn't that a hit? Congratulations! Congratulations! Shen Zhixin, the eldest lord of the house, won the first name of this autumn season! ”
At this time, the villagers who heard the news all congratulated the Shen family one after another! Shen Mengxi took Chen Mo's hand and gave her a look, Chen Mo understood, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Old lady, second master, please come into the house to have a cup of tea and rest!" ”
Shen Zaishi only reacted at this time, quickly took a deep breath, relieved his mind and smiled and invited the two officials into the house, while not forgetting to tell the Wu family, who had just run back, to cook tea.
Wu led Xiaoju to cook tea, Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhilei led two officials into the upper room, and Yan Ming also prepared a plate of pastries and a plate of fruits with great eyes.
