Chapter 217: Getting Started with the Xue Clan
Sanniang noticed that when they were talking, .
Sanniang knew that although the Xue family was not accepted by the ladies in the capital, her behavior had always attracted attention, and for more than a year, there have been rumors about the Xue family's bad in Beijing, which also confirmed from the side that the Xue family is usually low-key and has no evil deeds.
Thinking like this, Sanniang knew in her heart that the Xue family was not invisible in front of everyone, so it was not difficult to break into this circle. It's just that this also needs timing, and there is no hurry.
Before Sanniang and Xue finished picking out their clothes and were about to leave, Sanniang thought about it and told Bai Ying a few words to let her inquire secretly, and after Bai Ying came back and said a few words in her ear, Sanniang pulled Xue to the ladies.
Xue glanced at Sanniang with some surprise, and Sanniang replied to her with a comforting expression, telling her not to be nervous.
Several ladies over there walked Sanniang and Xue over, and they were all a little surprised and stopped talking.
Because in the past, as long as they put on such a gesture of refusal, the Xue family consciously avoided it, and would not come forward to find it boring.
The ladies glanced at each other again, but remained silent.
"Wang's Sanniang to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Tan to say goodbye." Sanniang smiled brightly at the ladies and bowed to the juniors.
Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, plus Sanniang is the serious daughter of the Wang family, in terms of identity, these ladies who pay attention to family background have nothing to be picky about, so the three ladies also responded with a smile, and Mrs. Tan, who was closer to Sanniang, kindly held Sanniang's elbow.
"How does Miss Wang San recognize us?" Mrs. Zhou smiled, and glanced at Xue as she spoke.
Sanniang has been paying attention to this side just now. found that this Mrs. Zhou was more serious, while the other ladies faintly looked like she was looking at the horse.
And Bai Ying went out to inquire about the identities of these ladies before, Sanniang knew that with Xue's temperament and no contact with these ladies on weekdays, the Xue family might not be able to remember which of these ladies was which.
Sanniang said with a smile: "I went to my uncle's grandmother's house that day, and I heard my uncle and grandmother say that there are several of the most kind-hearted ladies in Beijing. Every winter, the ladies of Kyochu are mobilized to donate money and materials to help the victims of the snowstorm in the vicinity. ”
Sanniang just found out that this Mrs. Zhou is the inspector Mrs. Zuodu Yushi, and when Sanniang entered Beijing, she did a lot of bad things about the situation of several famous ladies in Beijing. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" Therefore, I know the good deeds of the ladies of the Beijing officials, and I also know that it is the head of Mrs. Zhou in front of me.
If you want to break into a circle, you naturally have to inquire about the main members of the circle beforehand. Otherwise, it will not fit in rashly. Communicating with people also requires a breakthrough.
Do your homework before communicating, which is a normal thing in Sanniang's opinion.
"When Sanniang heard about this incident, she admired several ladies very much, and just heard her mother talk about it, only to know that the ladies were in front of her, so Sanniang cheekily asked my mother to lead me over to greet a few ladies." Sanniang said a little embarrassed.
In the first step of dating, there is always nothing wrong with saying good things, maybe some people won't sell it, but at least no one will hate to listen to good words.
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Don't say ask for good rewards for doing good deeds." If Mrs. Wang has this heart, she can also donate some materials to the charity hall this winter. ”
Xue was stunned. Busy said: "What Madame said is that I should also do some effort. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Mother has been saying that she wants to do good deeds just now." I'm afraid that I'm thin. Now that everyone is collecting firewood, the flame is high, and my mother doesn't have to worry about not being able to do it alone. ”
Mrs. Zhou's face was kinder when she heard this, although there are many officials and wives in Beijing, but there are still few who are willing to donate a lot of money, after all, the expenses in Beijing are also large, and many people can't even make ends meet in their own mansions and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, where can they donate silver? Last year, it was cold, and the vicinity of Beijing was fine, but several nearby suburban counties still froze to death.
Mrs. Zhou told Xue in detail how to donate materials to Shantang, and what materials were most lacking, and Xue wrote them down carefully, very seriously.
Seeing that Xue and Mrs. Zhou were communicating, Sanniang smiled and said to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tan: "Just now my mother asked Sanniang to learn more from the sisters in the two ladies' mansions, and my mother said that the sisters in the two ladies' mansions are so good and so good, and she was envious, so she invited a teacher for me and my sister." Sanniang really couldn't help but be curious about the sisters in the two ladies' mansions, but it was thanks to them that Sanniang couldn't be lazy in the future. ”
Sanniang said with a look of regret and chagrin, which made the two ladies laugh immediately.
Sanniang knew that these two ladies had daughters because they had carefully selected some fabrics and clothing styles for their daughters just now, but Mrs. Zhou did not. And these two ladies are gentle in their words and demeanor, and they must be very attentive to the upbringing of their daughters.
Communicating cheats, finding a breakthrough from the people the target values will be a more convenient and effective way than to start with her personally.
At this time, the Zhou family and the Xue family had already finished speaking, and when they looked over, the kind Mrs. Tan said with a smile: "You can come to our house to play when you are free, we only have one daughter in our family, Ying'er, and she always complains that she has no playmates." You are about the same age, so you must have come here for the talks. ”
Mrs. Li also said: "If the third lady is tired of learning, you can also come to our house to sit, my two girls are not as naughty as Mrs. Tan's young lady, they are the most naughty, which gives me a headache." ”
Mrs. Zhou deliberately snorted coldly: "You are deliberately showing off in front of me, right?" I know that there are only a few naughty boys in my house. ”
Both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tan laughed.
"Then it's decided, when Sanniang is free, I will go to visit the ladies' house, and I have to meet these sisters, so that I can be convinced." Sanniang also smiled.
"What's so difficult about this, don't you also want to participate in tomorrow's chrysanthemum feast? We'll see you then. Mrs. Zhou said.
"Madame reminds me." Sanniang's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The ladies laughed again.
Sanniang saw that the purpose of today's conversation had been hit, so she appropriately reminded Xue to prepare to leave. After that, the two said goodbye to the three ladies and went out of Yunxianglou, got into the carriage, and went to the gold shop on the next street.
On the carriage, Xue finally couldn't help but ask, "Sanniang, how did you know these three ladies?" I only know the lady Zhou Yushi, and the other two ladies don't know each other. ”
Sanniang sighed, she had expected it a long time ago.
"Mother, you will always have contact with these people in the future. It's best to remember who they are and what hobbies they have. Otherwise, if they talk to you and you can't call them, they will be unhappy. Sanniang believes that even if they don't recognize the Xue family, they all recognize the Xue family, and the marriage gift back then is also a topic that these ladies talk about.
Xue Shi was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't have a good memory, and I can't remember too many people at once." These people have only met once or twice at some banquets, and have never spoken. ”
Sanniang comforted Xue Shi and said: "No one can remember too many unfamiliar faces at once, this is normal." ”
Sanniang glanced at the agarwood and said to the Xue family: "I remember that when I was in Qingcheng County before, my grandmother often praised the good memory of agarwood. Or when you really can't remember, she can also remind you. ”
Hearing this, Xue Shi looked at Agarwood and said happily: "This is a good way." ”
Agarwood knew that Sanniang was giving her face, and smiled at Xue's family: "The slave should do her best." ”
After that, Sanniang followed Xue's to Duobaolou, because it was not a new one, but a new one, but a good one in the shop, so it was fast.
Sanniang picked out a set of head inlaid with pink beeswax stones, as well as earrings. Xue also helped Sanniang choose a set of gold-inlaid jade heads, and a set of gold-inlaid treasures.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xue and Sanniang went home.
"By the way, when I started in Yunxianglou, Mrs. Zhou asked about Wu Niang." Xue Shi frowned on the carriage.
At first, Sanniang saw that Xue and Mrs. Zhou were talking, so she talked to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tan, not paying attention to what Xue and Mrs. Zhou said over there.
"Is it to ask about Wu Niang hurting the county lord that day?" Sanniang asked. In addition to this incident, Sanniang couldn't think of anything else that Wuniang could think of these ladies.
Xue nodded: "That's exactly what happened, they only heard that it was the girl in our house who injured the county lord, and they didn't know if it was you or Wu Niang." Mrs. Zhou saw that I only brought you out today, so she asked, I said that Wu Niang was guilty because she accidentally hurt the county lord, and she was thinking about it behind closed doors at home. ”
Sanniang thought about it for a while, and said seriously to Xue: "Thank you mother." ”
Xue shook his head: "I should thank you, they didn't care about me when they saw me before, and they must not be too cold in the future." ”
Sanniang smiled, and the Xue family appreciated it. Helping her is also helping herself, because if the Xue family is rejected from the circle, she will not be able to get along with those young ladies in the future, because she can't go out by herself. In their position, communication is an inevitable job.
But today is just a simple conversation with the three ladies, if you want to help the Xue family really integrate into this circle, it is still far from enough, Sanniang closed her eyes and pondered.
As the carriage reached a street in front of Mao'er's Eye Alley, the carriage suddenly stopped. (To be continued)
