Chapter 15: Mastery
Nine girls, what is she doing? ”
As the twilight fell, the old lady Bai in Shou'an Hall frowned and asked Mrs. Chen.
In the afternoon, after handing over the stack of gift lists and prayer notes to Zhu Luan, Zhu Luan flipped her through and said that he would wait for her to go back to the room to take a closer look, and then bowed and left.
Then the whole afternoon passed, and there was no movement from the west courtyard.
She didn't say she was going to the storeroom to check on the gifts, and she didn't reply to the post.
Old lady Bai rubbed her eyebrows, for the family, the knowledge in the gift list and the worship post is very deep, and it is not something that a fifteen-year-old young lady can handle.
In addition, the child was not raised as a sister-in-law, and there was no mother to teach her, and it was impossible for the Li family to find someone to teach her, so she naturally didn't know anything about it.
But now that the girl has been enlightened, this aspect of the future is indispensable, and it is time to cultivate it.
Mrs. Bai wanted to try this girl's reaction in handling chores this time, and she also wanted to know what she was thinking now.
After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, after experiencing the impact of yesterday, in the face of this steady stream of congratulatory gifts, there is actually another layer of hidden worry in his heart.
The child's fame is too incredible, and the attitude of the officials and families in Huizhou is also secretive.
became famous in one fell swoop.
Compared to what that girl had suffered before, her situation was turned upside down overnight.
Such a huge change in identity and the attitude of the people around him is actually very dangerous for a fifteen-year-old child.
It's really easy to get carried away.
Thinking of this, Old Taijun Bai looked at Mrs. Chen more and more worriedly, waiting for her to go to the West Courtyard to inquire about the answer.
Hearing Mrs. Bai's question, Mrs. Chen, who had just returned from the West Courtyard, looked strange for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Bai was stunned, thinking that something had happened to that girl?
"Miss Nine, she ......," Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly, "she was eating." ”
"Eat?" Mrs. Bai imagined countless possibilities, but she never thought of this.
"I heard from the mother-in-law in the kitchen that I have already eaten two bowls...... "Mrs. Chen smiled reluctantly.
"It's not that I asked you how much she ate," Old Lady Bai rubbed her eyebrows, "What was she doing before eating?" ”
Didn't you say you had to look at the gift list?
"Listen to the waiting maid...... "Mrs. Chen's voice became more and more muffled, "I'm taking a nap." ”
Old Lady Bai looked stunned.
Mrs. Chen can't say that she is suffering. The facts she learned were even more outrageous.
Miss Nine did take the gift slip and went back to the West Courtyard.
But she left it all and went to sleep, slept until dark, and when she got up, she ate two bowls of rice.
That's all that Mrs. Chen learned.
What's going on?
Mrs. Bai didn't know what to say.
After a while, the old man sighed faintly, "Isn't she going to attend the Luming Banquet with Rong'er at night?" ”
"What is this kid doing with so much eating now?"
"Because the Luming banquet must not be full," At the dinner table in the west courtyard of Shou'an Hall, Zhu Luan held a celadon bowl and said to Zhu Rong, who was sitting opposite, with a stunned face.
"That's ......," Zhu Rong looked at the spiky rice in his sister's hand.
"That's right," Zhu Luan nodded, "After all, I can't even eat enough for the Qionglin banquet." ”
Zhu Rong was stunned after hearing this.
The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet held for the new branch scholars after the palace examination.
Why does that sound a little ......
"Alright, I'm done eating, let's get ready to go."
However, before he could ask questions, the girl's bowl in front of him had already bottomed out, and Zhu Luan put down the bowl and said with a smile.
Zhu Rong retracted his mind and looked at the gift list on the coffee table on the side, "Then these ......"
Zhu Luan said that she wanted to take it back to the West Courtyard to see it, but in fact, she never touched these since she returned to the West Courtyard.
However, at this time, the list of prayers on the coffee table is still a little different.
On Zhu Luan's way back to the West Courtyard, Zhu Rong saw her flip through all the gift lists at an astonishing speed, and then split them into two stacks as if she didn't want to.
If it weren't for seeing that she had drawn from it, Zhu Rong really felt that she was just dividing it into two stacks for the sake of it.
"These?" Zhu Luan smiled, "It's already been dealt with." ”
"Done?" Zhu Rong was stunned.
Zhu Luan walked to the coffee table and picked up the thinner stack in the two stacks.
"There will be a chance to return the gift in the future," she smiled, "and there should be no suitable gift in the house right now." ”
Zhu Rong froze, there was indeed nothing good left in the British Mansion.
"As for these," Zhu Luan picked up the thicker stack, "one-third is temptation, one-third is righteousness and fun, and the remaining one-third is ......."
The girl smiled, her voice clear and calm.
"It's a killing."
Before Zhu Rong could speak, there was a sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding next to Zhu Luan, Zhu Luan heard the sound and looked, only to see Zhu Yue, who had been silently counting the grains of rice by his side before, get up.
"You...... Why would you know? ”
The girl's eyes in the black cloth were full of astonishment.
"Hmm......" Zhu Luan thought for a while, "Guess?" ”
"I'm not joking with you!" Zhu Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and snatched the gift list in Zhu Luan's hand.
If you want to sort out the complicated interpersonal exchanges between the gift lists, it is impossible without a detailed understanding of the various forces in Huizhou.
She and Mama Wang have been studying housekeeping for many years, and she is still dizzy when she sees such a gift list, this woman must be talking nonsense......
Deceptive, right?
Zhu Yue looked at the gift list divided into two stacks in his hand, and his hands trembled a little.
The human connections she knew were only a small fraction of the list, but as far as she knew, the woman's classification was very precise.
Zhu Yue Huo Ran raised his head.
She......
"Okay, I won't tease you," Zhu Luan laughed and took back the gift slip in Zhu Yue's hand, "Probably based on data?" ”
"Data?" Zhu Yue was stunned, "What's that?" ”
"Mu Ke's friendship sponsorship," Zhu Luan smiled, "Although it is only a small part of the Mu family's intelligence network. ”
"It turns out that it refers to intelligence ......" Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be those scrolls that were sent home with the Shiwen booklet?" ”
Zhu Luan nodded, "In exchange for participating in the Twilight Cloud Society, those were given by him later." ”
It turns out that those are the intelligence of the Huizhou family and interpersonal relationships?
Zhu Rong was stunned, no wonder, he was still thinking about how there were so many booklets in Guangshi.
But has she read all the one-person-high scrolls? When the hell did you watch it?
Zhu Yue was even more shocked on the side.
Why?
Even if you know that information, if you don't understand how to deal with it, you can't tell it in such a short time......
Why is she so proficient in even chores?
What else will she do?
Facing the two brothers and sisters who were stunned, Zhu Luan smiled disapprenously, "Don't talk about this, cousin, hurry up and prepare." ”
"I need to ask my great-grandmother for a favor." She said.
