Chapter 114: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger Up

Zheng E's smiling face immediately froze, looked at Fufeng, and asked with a stammer, "Really...... Really sent twelve pairs of mille-feuille soap shoes? ”

Fufeng nodded vigorously, and the gold-inlaid red treasure rice bead hairpin inserted in the double-ring bun also trembled, reflecting the sunshine with a layer of fog on a winter afternoon, flashing in front of everyone's eyes.

Lu Zhenxian's face was as usual, she reached over and grabbed Zheng E's hand, and found that her palms were full of sweat, so she had to play a round: "Mille-feuille soap shoes are not easy to make......

Fufeng hurriedly picked up the conversation and said, "Isn't it?" The maid in our yard with needlework and thread also has to spend a month to get a pair of good mille-feuille soles, and then embroidered uppers, and finally polished with slurry stitches, and it takes two months to make a pair of mille-feuille soap shoes. ”

That is to say, a person can only make a maximum of six pairs a year. If you make twelve pairs, you either cut corners or find someone to help.

Lu Zhenxian heard the meaning of Fufeng's words, pursed her lips and smiled, and comforted Zheng E: "Sister Fufeng is reasonable. It's also a general favor. "Hinting that Zheng E should not think too much.

Zheng E smiled reluctantly and followed them to Zhiyuan Pavilion sullenly.

He Ningxin was already waiting for them in the hall of the upper room of Zhiyuan Pavilion. Seeing Fufeng bring the three girls in, He Ningxin also stood up and greeted them with a smile: "I've been busy lately, I haven't seen my three sisters for several days." I hope the three younger sisters don't be surprised. As he spoke, he bowed to them halfway.

The three girls hurriedly dodged away, and they all said, "I can't help it." Sister-in-law is like this, she really killed us. ”

He Ningxin got up with a smile, beckoned them to sit down, and asked Fuliu to give them almond tea face.

On a winter afternoon, eat a bowl of fresh and hot almond tea noodles, warm the stomach and warm the body, and several people quietly eat almond tea, and their spirits are lifted.

The maid at the bottom served mouthwash tea again, and asked for mung bean noodles to rinse and clean the hands of the three girls.

Jian Feiyi saw that everyone had finished eating, and her sister-in-law was smiling and smiling, and she was in a good mood, so she mustered up her courage, got up and blessed He Ningxin, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's almost the New Year's Day, Feiyi wants to go to Xishan to meet the second brother." He stayed there these days, and he didn't know what was going on. ”

He Ningxin was thinking about sending a car to pick up Jian Feizhen, who was guarding filial piety in the small village at the foot of the West Mountain, when she heard the words and hurriedly said, "This is very good." My sister really did my sister-in-law a big favor. Ming'er has a car to go to Xishan Zhuangzi, so my sister will take Huiyao to Xishan and take your second brother back for the New Year. ”

Jian Feiyi didn't expect He Ningxin to be so easy to speak, and half of her previous nervous mood disappeared, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her tense face.

He Ningxin called Fufeng over and ordered: "Go and take the eldest girl down to the treasury to pick up some good things for her second brother to bring over." It's not convenient to buy things in Xishan, and we've been busy here recently, so if there's any slackness, we have to ask the eldest girl Haihan. "Very polite to Jian Feiyi.

Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E couldn't help but glance at each other, lowered their heads again, and thought about their own thoughts.

Jian Feiyi is not as sensitive as Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E, and when she heard that she was asked to go to the warehouse to pick things by herself, she was immediately overjoyed and happily followed Fufeng.

He Ningxin said to Lu Zhenxian again: "Cousin, I can't be busy with some things here, I don't know if my cousin is free, do me a favor and get through this New Year with dignity?" ”

Lu Zhenxian hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "What did the eldest cousin say?" Something is commanded. ”

He Ningxin asked Fuliu to take Lu Zhenxian to the side room to help sort out the gift list of people coming and going, and at the end of the year, each warehouse should also be unified to take stock to see if there are any major omissions and omissions.

Lu Zhenxian knew how to read and etiquette, and was willing to learn these things, so she followed Fuliu down.

Only He Ningxin and Zheng E were left in the hall.

Zheng E moved in the chair very uneasily, didn't dare to raise her head, and didn't dare to look at He Ningxin's eyes, looking very guilty and ashamed.

He Ningxin thought about it and felt that this matter actually had nothing to do with Zheng E. What do others think, how to do it, how can she, a boudoir woman thousands of miles away, manage it? And how can it be managed?

"Sister Zheng, I invite you to come today, first, I want you to help take care of it and distribute the annual rites to the mother-in-law and maids in the inner courtyard." He Ningxin said slowly.

Zheng E's heart relaxed, raised her head and said with a smile: "If the sister-in-law doesn't dislike Zheng E's clumsiness, Zheng E should share her worries for the sister-in-law." ”

"Second," He Ningxin said slowly, giving a look to a mother-in-law next to her, who understood, tied her hands and went out, and after a while, she came in with a burden.

He Ningxin raised her chin at Zheng E.

The woman put the burden on the yellow rosewood square table next to Zheng E.

"The second is that the mille-feuille blue satin men's soap shoes sent from Shouchang Mansion in the southwest are probably sent by mistake. However, when I went back, I was worried that I would refute other people's face, so I had to let Sister Zheng accept it. He Ningxin pointed to the burden and said to Zheng E.

Zheng E's face changed again, she stretched out her hand to open the baggage, took out a pair and looked at it carefully, before she sighed and said to He Ningxin: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it was probably sent by mistake." ”

He Ningxin no longer mentioned the matter, and ordered someone to take Zheng E to the courtyard next to her, and together with the housekeeper's mother, she distributed New Year's things to the maids and mothers in the inner courtyard to the list.

In the Zhenguo Mansion, when the maids and mothers in the inner courtyard celebrate the New Year, each person can issue two sets of new cotton jackets, cotton skirts, and two pairs of cotton shoes, and a set of silver head and face for each person, and according to different levels, each person ranges from 500 yuan to 10 taels of silver red envelopes. That's a lot of generosity.

Since the death of Mrs. Jian, because of the importance of the Duchess of Zhenguo, Zheng E's life in the Zhenguo Mansion has been much better. The subordinates who like to talk to the red and white also understand it, and they no longer dare to look down on the "righteous sister" of this grandfather.

Today, seeing Zheng E coming to help distribute the annual examples of the next person, those maids and wives were even more respectful to Zheng E, and they called "Zheng Girl" very affectionately.

While greeting people, Zheng E already had a plan in her heart. She was still confused about her cousin's mind before, and she was not very sure, especially when she invited her cousin to come to the capital together, she was sternly rejected by her cousin, and she still respected her cousin's character. Now I know that I am the only one who is a fool......

After sending the annual greeting, Zheng E asked the maid to carry the bag of shoes and go back to her yard. Without stopping for a moment, she went to her inner chamber, took up a pen and wrote a letter to her cousin, sealed it again, and wrapped it with the bag of shoes. Then he asked He Ningxin for the waist card out of the inner courtyard, and he took the waist card with him, personally carried the burden, and went to the outer courtyard to find the chief steward of Dongxing to speak.

Dongxing saw that it was Miss Zheng from the inner courtyard, so he hurriedly said hello and asked people to serve tea.

Zheng E handed the burden to Dongxing and said, "The chief steward, this bag of things, I hope the chief steward will make it convenient and help me send it back to Shouchang Mansion in the southwest." As he spoke, he gave Dongxing an address.

Dongxing checked his baggage, looked at the address again, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, it will be delivered before the New Year." ”

At this time, it was less than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and Zheng E asked worriedly: "Don't be in such a hurry. Can it be delivered? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Dongxing nodded and packed the ticket: "There are priorities." Such an 'important' thing naturally has to be delivered quickly. The word "important" was bitten heavily, showing that he had already understood what was going on.

Zheng E's face was red, and her feelings for her cousin were very complicated, and she thanked Xie Dongxing again and again, and then Zheng E took the maid back to the inner courtyard.

He Ningxin was relieved to hear the return from Dongxing and to know that Zheng E had sent things back to the Shouchang Mansion in the southwest in her own name. - This is the best, if it can not hurt face, it will not hurt face.

When Jian Feiyang came over for dinner in the evening, he took out a post and showed it to He Ningxin, and said, "Uncle Cheng Ping and his wife want to come over to visit tomorrow." Do you have time to talk to Mrs. Cheng Pingbo? ”

He Ningxin glanced at Jian Feiyang. The son of Cheng Pingbo, but the last eldest son of the "scourge" before Mr. Shan Renshan kicked the iron plate.

Jian Feiyang knew what He Ningxin was thinking, and his face was a little unbearable, and he explained to He Ningxin: "...... Cheng Pingbo was my father's subordinate, and he used to follow my father from birth to death in the northwest. Now that this has happened to his son, he probably doesn't know what happened. Today, he happily talked to me about his son, saying that he hoped that in the Northwest Army, he could develop a manly spirit, and not be in vain the titles they had earned from birth and death for generations. ”

He Ningxin bit her chopsticks, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Okay." I'll talk to Mrs. Cheng Pingbo tomorrow. ”

"If you're busy, you don't have to hold on." Jian Feiyang knew that the New Year's affairs were all handled by He Ningxin alone. He is a man, but he is not easy to meddle in these trivial matters in the inner court.

He Ningxin shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay." She told Jian Feiyang about the help she asked her two younger sisters for help today, and said at the end: "Don't say I'm lazy." ”

Jian Feiyang knocked He Ningxin's chopsticks with his chopsticks, and deliberately glared at him, "Am I so stupid?" Can't you see that you're doing it for their good? Thinking of the marriage of the three girls in the house, he felt that his head hurt again, and said to He Ningxin: "Their marriage, you will have to be busy in the future." ”

These things are easy to say. The identities of the three people are actually the same, and He Ningxin only needs to get three copies of the same dowry. So even though it's three people, it's actually the same as one person.

The next day, Jian Feiyang rested and did not need to go to the yamen. Together with He Ningxin, he sent away Jian Feiyi, who was going to visit Jian Feizhen at the foot of the West Mountain, at the gate, and saw the car of Chengping Bo's Mansion coming to the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.
