Chapter 243: Miscalculation
Aunt Zheng thought that her words were very clever, and there was nothing to be picky about, so she just waited for the little lady to react one or two, and then she had to step forward and say something, and then show off it, and inform the other party of the taboos and preferences of the ladies who often go to the "Gengshen Meeting", and then talk about how to please people.
She was recommended to go to the homes of officials and wealthy businessmen's wives from other places every day, and gave each other a hand, and she was very familiar with the temperament of such people.
To put it mildly, the world is big, and the prosperity is nothing more than the capital, from other places, whether it is an official or a businessman, in fact, it is equivalent to a hillbilly entering the city, washing his feet and going to the fields for a long time, and with the smell of mud.
I still remember the last time she entered a family of officials from Qinzhou, it was still a general judgment, the first time the lady of the house went back to Fengle Lou to go to the banquet, I saw the three-story high, surrounded by colorful silk Cailou Huanmen, and saw the flying bridge railing, light and dark, bead curtain embroidered forehead, lamp beads dazzling, eyes are straight, when entering the door did not come to a trance for a while, this is it, even to the guide of the running hall will not be rewarded, but also pretend to be well-informed.
That time, she deliberately took a few steps behind, and waited for the lady to lose her face before she stepped forward to give the bag and sent the running hall away.
With this lesson, everyone in the court of the general judgment regarded her as a superior class, and made her live a very comfortable life.
It's a pity that the official of that family won't come, and she waited in Beijing for more than half a year, and finally got a transfer to an official who was released, and she really couldn't look down on it. Otherwise, it's good to stay in that household.
At that time, when Mrs. Natong left, she was still pulling her, and she was reluctant to say anything, and wanted to take her away.
- She is not a problem with such a woman who has given birth to children, let alone a little daughter-in-law.
Aunt Zheng pulled her neck, looking anxious for the Lord, and she was still thinking about what to say for a while.
Ji Qingling didn't take Aunt Zheng's words to heart.
She has never been very attentive to external social interactions, and what Liu Lin said that day, "Don't make any big jokes", Ji Qingling agreed very much in her heart.
Where is it easy to find friends who can make friends, if they are not like-minded, it is boring enough.
In his previous life, Ji's father had a few ups and downs, but he didn't care about himself, but Ji's mother's family on weekdays, no matter how close the relationship was, as soon as he saw Ji's father being degraded, eight out of ten changed their faces, and after a few times, Ji's mother also dealt with it calmly.
Ji Qingling was born late, when she was sensible, she was not only a freehand as a father, but also a mother to make friends, but also based on personal preferences, and it had long passed the time when she wanted a perfect reputation when she was young.
Until she died of illness, her parents at home, whether they gained or lost power, have always lived by their own temperament, influenced by their parents, she looks easy-going and lively on the outside, but in fact, she has also developed a lazy and socializing temperament inside.
According to Ji's father's words: For today's sake, I even have to look at other people's faces, and I have worked hard all these years just to let others see our faces.
Now, although the fifth brother has not mixed up with letting others see his face, he has already gotten rid of the days when he was so poor that he had to sell himself for a few dollars, and Ji Qingling can already choose not to look at other people's faces.
She wants to make friends, party to enjoy flowers and feasts, it must be because she likes it and wants to go, not because others think she must go.
Besides, ordinary women come and go between this and that seat, in fact, most of them are just playing with themselves, so you really don't have to take it too seriously, if you can rely on this to gain a firm foothold in the capital, it will be even more ridiculous.
You earn your own face, do you still expect others to give it to you?
It was because she listened to Aunt Zheng's words, she only smiled, and didn't think so, but it was not good to give the other party a face-to-face appearance, so she said: "It's hard for Aunt Zheng to think, only I have other arrangements, so I won't go." ”
Aunt Zheng's stomach was full of words in her throat, and she was forced to block it back, and it took a while before she reacted.
This time, she was really anxious and said, "Madam, this can't be done!" This time I pushed it, where will others give you another post next time! It is rare to take advantage of the time when Zhuangyuanlang is about to cross the horse and parade the street and the Qionglin feast, you should shake your spirit, borrow a momentum, go out to the banquet and go to the meeting, and stand firm in the capital, so that the rich and noble people can know it, otherwise after this village, where to find this shop! ”
and again with all kinds of words to persuade, only to praise the "Gengshen Society" in the sky, not on the ground, seeing that it does not work, so I have to use words to scare, although it is not explicitly said, but it is implied that if Ji Qingling does not go, the champion Lang will not do well in the future, that is, she will drag it down, and the communication between the ladies is more important than anything else.
Ji Qingling listened patiently to a few sentences at first, and then saw that she was verbose and had no end, so she found a reason to send people away.
Besides, Aunt Zheng was kicked out of the door, knowing that a lobbying failed to work, she was very displeased, she thought about it, and went through her words and deeds again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, even if the dead were to be told alive by themselves, why didn't the little lady wake up!?
Is it really too young to understand the importance of human feelings?
She pondered all night, counted the girls in Ji Qingling's room, and felt that Qiu Lu was too small, Qiu Shuang was too jumpy, but Qiu Yue, the oldest, looked the most honest and coaxed, and seemed to be very useful to the little lady.
Qiu Yue thought that there was something wrong, who knew that she had got a place, but it was just a trivial lecture arrangement, she repeated it, and only after Aunt Zheng confirmed that it was correct, she said: "Thank you, auntie, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”
Aunt Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry first, I am looking for you today, there is one more thing." ”
He carefully said what he said in front of Ji Qingling the day before yesterday, and said in a serious tone: "If it weren't for Madame's kindness, I shouldn't have been in charge of this matter, but I took the money, and I didn't eat white food. ”
Qiu Yue has followed Ji Qingling for many years, and has experienced a lot of things, she is no longer the original rough little girl, although she is still honest and loyal, but it is not easy to coax, I can hear Aunt Zheng nagging and talking a lot, although I don't know the other party's plans after turning around, but I also feel that this is not right.
She only smiled, and when she returned to the house, she didn't rush back to Ji Qingling first, but found Qiu Shuang and Qiu Lu, and only asked her what they thought of them.
