Chapter 242: Calculation
Ji Qingling thought about the scene of the "Gengshen Meeting" when he went back, it was really not interesting, nominally claiming to be learning Buddhism and cultivating his body and mind, but in fact, it was just that each family brought some jewels and jewels to fight for wealth.
She has no prejudice against fighting for wealth, she thinks that everything is as she pleases, and it would be good if she could be happy to show off her wealth, but she is not keen on it, so it is just boring to go, and it is not interesting at all.
I didn't know the inside story last time, after all, when I first arrived, I always had to go out to socialize, lest others say that the lady of the Zhuangyuanlang family didn't know anything and never showed her face, but since I had already been there once, I didn't waste time on such things that I wasn't interested in.
She said to Qiu Lu: "You prepare a reply letter for me, just say that I have a lot of things recently, so I won't go, thank her for worrying." ”
Qiu Lu really drafted a draft letter, copied it, sealed it and took it to the little girl to send back.
She went back and forth, not wanting to meet a woman in her thirties halfway, so she quickly stopped, said hello, and said, "Aunt Zheng." ”
The woman she called Aunt Zheng had an ordinary appearance, with long pants on her body, and the styles and fabrics were all from time to time in the capital recently.
Qiu Lu was a little unhappy in her heart, but she was silent.
She knew that this was her own girl invited from the middle to teach the girls in the family the customs and etiquette of the capital, and to learn the official language, although it has only been ten days since she entered the house, she can get along every day, and she can more or less see the other party's temperament - this person is really a little nostrils to the sky.
She didn't say much to this Aunt Zheng, after all, she was just inviting her to teach at home for a month, and she would have to send her away in a short time, so there was no need to make an unpleasant scene, so she stood where she was, planning to wait for the other party to walk over and then go back to the house.
Qiu Lu waited for a while, but didn't want Aunt Zheng to not move, but stood still and asked, "I just passed by the outer gate, it seems that I saw the little girl of the Zhang family of the Baokang Gate Zuolang family coming, I don't know what is going on?" ”
Qiu Lu was stunned, she felt that she didn't need to hide this matter, so she said: "It was the wife of Zhang Zuolang's family who gave it to our family...... Mrs. posted and invited her to the Gengshen meeting. ”
She almost made a mistake, and a "girl" shouted out, and she was almost stopped.
Aunt Zheng nodded and said, "In this case, I will tell you tomorrow about the exquisiteness of this Gengshen Society, you told a few of them, so that they are not in time, and Mrs. Hou will come to look for me when she sleeps." ”
Qiu Lu hurriedly said: "It's already decided, do you still want to say it?" ”
Aunt Zheng's face changed when she landed, her voice was raised, as if she had heard something terrible, and asked hurriedly: "That's Gengshenhui!" Madame really said she wouldn't go?! Does she know how rare invitations are!? ”
Qiu Lu saw that her reaction was very unpleasant, and she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and said: "The master speaks, how can we put our beak!" ”
Aunt Zheng shook her head and said, "You foreigners, you don't even know!" After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go and talk to Madame!" ”
After finishing speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards Ji Qingling's room.
Qiu Lu followed behind, I wanted to stop her, but who wanted the woman in front of her to walk so fast that she couldn't catch up, so she had to stop.
When she returned to the house, Aunt Zheng was already standing in front of Ji Qingling, halfway through her words.
"As soon as I saw the one sitting in the outer door room, I immediately recognized it, it was the girl who had to be used in front of the Mrs. Zhang of the Baokang Gate Zuolang family, and it happened that I met Qiu Lu on the road, so I asked more, and I knew that it was really a matter of Gengshenhui, because I was afraid that a few of their little girls would be careless, and they would show their timidity when they turned back to the meeting, so they wanted to tell them about it, who knew that Mrs. did not want to go to the meeting, which was unbearable!"
Aunt Zheng said with a bitter face, and said: "Mrs. has just arrived, and there are not a few old people in the family, I don't know if I want to come, this Gengshen will be promoted by the women of the noble and official families in Beijing, and now, it has been several years, and I can go to this meeting, and the family has a bit of status, and Mrs. has no foundation in Beijing, it is rare to have such an opportunity to communicate with the ladies of those rich and noble families, how difficult it is, where can I say that I can push it!" ”
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ji Qingling's expression, hoping to see a minute or two of panic on her face.
I didn't know when I took over the job, but I didn't know when I came that this household was actually the champion's mansion!
Aunt Zheng believes that her own family also has some ability, and she is very familiar with everything in the capital, but she has no luck, and she can't hit a good master's house.
Although she has only been in this mansion for ten days now, she is very satisfied.
With the champion Lang, the chances of the main family coming out in the future are much stronger than the rest of the Jinshi and merchants, and the nobles themselves can't get in.
Besides, this family is a little better, in addition to giving money to be refreshing, the main family is kind, there is no elder in the family, only one lady who has never even been in charge of the back house, and it is a foreigner, before coming to the capital, a group of close to the side are little girls, the largest is less than twenty, look around all over the left, can not find an old adult, only the kitchen looks more calculating, but just a cook.
Isn't this situation tailor-made for herself, waiting for her to show her skills?
It's a pity that the little lady only asked her family to help those little girls correct their official accents and teach the etiquette and customs of the capital, but she didn't have any other inquiries, and she was not like the ladies of the back house in the past, who often looked for herself to talk and relieve their fatigue.
Obviously, Zhuangyuanlang goes out every day and day, she is a little woman, what can she do at home? Why don't you call yourself?!
Seeing that the one-month effort that was promised at the beginning had gone by one-third, and there was still no chance for her to show her ability, Aunt Zheng was so anxious that her urine was yellow.
Always in the same place with a bunch of girls, this month, but in the blink of an eye! If you don't show your performance, how can you make this house think about keeping itself!
Seeing the girl at the outer door was not accidental, but something she had been paying attention to for a long time, and took this opportunity to talk to Qiu Lu, and finally had a reason, and came to this little lady to show it, Aunt Zheng was very nervous, and every word she said was pondered in her heart for a long time, and she thought she was very proud.
She first pointed out that she even knew a girl from the Saro family, and implied that she was very clever and conscientious, and when she saw the girl, after asking clearly, she would help the whole government to prepare for the meeting, and then you came out of the capital, you don't even understand, and it is always easy to make mistakes without anyone to guide you.
Although there are only a few short paragraphs, one ring leads to another, at this time, just wait for this little lady to be in a hurry, and then come forward to help solve the problem together, and when this trip is over, you will be able to mix up a little weight in front of you, come and go, and show your face a few more times, and you can't say that you can let this house leave itself!
