Chapter 680: Feeling Comfortable
Zhao's joy at this time almost made her feel like she could fly in the next moment. Her family has such a good craft, King Fu will definitely be optimistic about him. Now it's okay, Ah Qiao really has an identity, an identity that is enough to raise his eyebrows in front of Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan.
But the woman said, "This is not an easy matter," said the woman, and the woman's face was slightly embarrassed, "I just said that I had taken on an errand, but in fact I said it casually. He asked, but it was only through the palace steward who asked through others, and when people heard it, they pushed it directly. It's not that I don't want to help, it's that people don't look down on ordinary craftsmen and heads at all. ”
Zhao took out a heavy purse from his arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand, "Look, can you ask your master to ask that person again, our Aqiao is very good, and it will never make your master embarrassed, maybe your master has also heard of my Aqiao." ”
The other woman didn't speak all the time, and when she heard Zhao say this, she couldn't help but sneer: "You also said, you are from Haozhou, how capable can your son be, and his reputation can spread all over the capital?" It's a joke! ”
Zhao was a little annoyed, but at this time he couldn't afford to provoke others, so he had to explain patiently: "It's really not that I'm boasting, at the end of the year before last, there was a job in the Ministry of Industry that needed someone to guide me, that is, my family Aqiao came from a long distance to help the Ministry of Industry guide the use of a precision instrument." My son's name is Wang Qiao, if your master often works in the Ministry of Engineering, you may have heard of him. ”
The elderly woman was suspicious, and although she accepted the purse, she was still suspicious when she looked at Zhao's eyes.
She looked at Wang Qiao several times with suspicious eyes, and said, "Old sister-in-law, don't you bluff me, you tell me the truth, such a young Lang Jun can really have exquisite skills?" Can you also go to the Ministry of Engineering to explain the equipment? You can think about it, this can't deceive people, whether it's true or not, I'll know it as soon as I ask my peers. ”
Zhao nodded again and again, and almost swore a gambling curse, "Absolutely, if your master has done an errand in the Ministry of Industry, he should know Wang Qiao, you just have to go back and ask." You also said that His Royal Highness King Fu has not found a suitable person, maybe your master has made a good introduction, this is a meritorious service. If King Fu is happy, maybe it will be a heavy reward, and he will be able to gain face, don't you say? ”
The woman nodded suspiciously, "That'...... Okay, I'll go back and ask, what's your son's name? That's right, it's called Wang Qiao. Also, where do you live? If I could, I'd be able to call you back. ”
When Zhao heard this, he immediately smiled, "Okay, okay, my family lives in Willow Hutong in the back lane of Anguo Mansion, you can find it by asking about the newly moved Qi family." Zhao asked cautiously, "I don't know where your family lives, whose wife is it?" ”
Wang Qiao listened not far away with grief and indignation, his mother was trapping him in an unkind and unrighteous place, this was his mother, what should he do?
As soon as the woman heard that Zhao said that they lived in the willow alley in the back alley of the Anguo Mansion, she immediately asked in surprise, "You are renting a house?" Or borrow a relative's house? ”
Zhao saw that the woman's speech was a little different from just now, as if she was careful, and she immediately had confidence in her heart. She smiled very easily: "We live in a friend's house, and the head of the family had a lifelong friendship with my deceased husband. ”
The woman hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the old sister-in-law, are your friends a prominent figure in the Anguo Mansion?" ”
No wonder this woman asked such questions, the residents in the back alleys of the Anguo Mansion are more or less always related to the Anguo Mansion. If it is an ordinary domestic servant, even if he lives in the back alley of the Anguo Mansion, the residence must be cramped. But if the family can receive the Zhao family's mother and son, as well as two people who seem to be maids, it is a big yard, otherwise how can they live?
Zhao's face was a little reserved, "My friend's surname is Qi, and he is the godfather of the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, so he can buy a yard in the back alley of the Guogong Mansion, which is that several yards have been opened and connected together." ”
"Oh, oh, I see. Mrs. Zhao, you see, we didn't know your identity just now, if there is any offense, please be a big man, don't worry about us. The woman's face immediately welled up with a smile.
The other woman no longer looked at Zhao with cold eyes, and became much more intimate with Zhao in her words.
The two parties immediately had a common language and happily announced their names.
The woman's husband's surname was Li, and his name was Li Erming, and he was a petty man. Pick up some small projects every day, because of the many years of mixing in the Beijing craftsman's line, I know a few people in the Ministry of Industry, if the Ministry of Industry has a tight livelihood, he will also take it to do.
This woman's surname is Zhang, and the other is her sister, and the two of them made an appointment to come out of the temple to make a vow. When I came to the temple today, I first walked around the Dajue Temple, and then I came in to worship the Buddha, so it was too late.
The Zhao family and the two Zhang families informed each other of their family names, and briefly told them about the situation at home, and the three of them immediately got a lot closer.
In order to make the Zhang family more concerned about this matter, the Zhao family warmly invited the two of them to the dining hall of Dajue Temple for fasting.
When the Zhang family heard that their borrowed house was the godfather of the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion, they thought about stammering, where would they let the Zhao family break the bank, and said "go together, go together", but refused to let the Zhao family entertain.
Wang Qiao sat at a table next to the Zhao family, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and put down his chopsticks.
The Zhao family and the two Zhang families said that they still did not leave after eating, and they gossiped for a while before the two sides said goodbye.
At the foot of the mountain gate of Dajue Temple, Zhang took Zhao's hand and said to Zhao with confidence: "Mrs. Zhao is waiting for my letter, this thing will be done soon." I heard that King Fu's errand is very important, and in a few days, I will be able to give you a true letter. If it is done, I am afraid that as soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passes, your family Wang will have to go to work. ”
Zhao smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Zhang smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, it's your son who has a good life." Maybe in the future, my family will have to be taken care of by Steward Wang. ”
Wang Qiao stood not far away, listening to the title of Zhang's left steward Wang and right steward, but Zhao didn't stop him, his face was blue and red for a while, and he was simply embarrassed. urged repeatedly, and the Zhao family said goodbye.
Wang Qiao followed Zhao's carriage back to the courtyard of the Qi family, except for the janitor who came out to open the door, the courtyard was empty.
Zhao sat in the carriage all the way, and he didn't know how comfortable he was, and all the previous depression dissipated. If this thing is done, she will never have the embarrassing situation of waiting for the tiger to ride a tiger, and she will not have to look back and beg the Qi family to take her in, which will not only ensure the rich life and dignity before, but also go further.
At that time, I'm afraid that Ah Qiao's identity will be higher than Qi Younian. I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
