Chapter 182: Arrival
Xu Qiaofeng spoke before Mrs. Xu: "Where, where!" It's our rudeness, we came too early, how can we blame Lord Lin! ”
When Mrs. Xu saw her daughter say this, she echoed: "Yes, yes!" Blame us, blame us! Xu Qiaofeng gave Mrs. Xu a satisfied look, and nodded with a smile at Qingzhu.
Qingzhu has become accustomed to the faux pas of the mother and daughter, and she despises Xu Qiaofeng's style to the extreme. A boudoir woman, how can she rob her mother's words, and she still thinks she knows the rules very well. Qingzhu didn't say anything more, led the two all the way to the side hall of Zhiyuan Hall, instructed the little maid to serve tea and pastries, and personally served tea to the two.
"Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu, I'm really sorry, our wife has to deal with the affairs of the house at this hour every day, many subordinates are waiting for a reply, and there are many things waiting for our wife to decide, so I want to ask you two to wait for our wife." Our wife has instructed the slaves and maids to serve them well, and we must not neglect the two of them! ”
"It's okay, it's okay! We're just drinking tea here while waiting for Sister Min'er! Xu Qiaofeng thought that he was very elegant, picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips of tea.
Qingzhu couldn't bear it anymore, so he smiled and said to Xu Qiaofeng: "Miss Xu, please forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, according to the rules, you should call our wife Mrs. Lin." After all, our wife is already married, and it is a sign of respect for our lord to be called so. ”
Xu Qiaofeng hadn't learned these rules and etiquette, so of course she didn't know them, but she felt very repulsed by calling Jia Min Mrs. Lin from her heart. Xu Qiaofeng was most afraid of others saying that she didn't understand the rules, and after listening to Qingzhu's words, her face immediately turned red, and she explained hesitantly: "I...... I don't mean to disrespect Lord Lin! It is...... I just think it's kinder to call Mrs. Lin my sister, you say yes, mother! ”
Mrs. Xu has always been whatever her daughter says, so she naturally nods yes.
Qingzhu smiled and continued: "Just now, the slave maid only said one thing, and there is another reason that he didn't say, that is, our lord and Ling Zun are colleagues, you call our wife a sister, so how will our lord face Ling Zun in the future, this plain is lower than Ling Zun's generation, it doesn't seem appropriate!" ”
Xu Qiaofeng's originally red face had turned pale at this time, no matter how stupid Mrs. Xu was, she could hear the inappropriateness, Lin Ruhai was Xu Tongju's top boss, this Xu Qiaofeng's words made Lin Ruhai lower than Xu Tongju, if it was spread out, how would Xu Tongju still do things in the yamen? How many people will laugh at their ignorance of the rules? The mother and daughter of the Xu family didn't know how to deal with it, and looked at Qingzhu nervously.
Qingzhu still had a decent smile on his face, and after admiring the wonderful expressions of the mother and daughter, he said: "Don't worry, the rules of our Lin family are extremely strict, and without the permission of the master, what the two of you said today will not come out of this side hall." ”
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qiaofeng's mother and daughter both breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't bother with the question of what to do if the master let it out!
Qingzhu accompanied him to talk in the side hall for a while, then left under the excuse, and when he left, he ordered a little maid to wait outside the door in front of the mother and daughter of the Xu family.
When Mrs. Xu saw Qingzhu walking away, she leaned into Xu Qiaofeng's ear and asked, "Qiaofeng!" Do you think that maid will go to sue Mrs. Lin, if Mrs. Lin tells Mrs. Lin again, will she give your father small shoes to wear? ”
Xu Qiaofeng frowned, what Mrs. Xu said was also what she was worried about, she was afraid that it would affect her father's official career, and second, she was afraid that it would affect her impression in Lin Ruhai's heart. She regretted that she was too careless at this time, these maids from high-ranking families have undergone strict training, and they are all well-informed, and their serious official daughters may not have the wide vision of others, and their own careful thoughts Mrs. Xu can't see it, and it's hard to guarantee that the maid doesn't see it.
Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter was frowning and her face was not very good-looking, so she became a little nervous, and her voice became two points louder, "Qiaofeng! We're not going to get your dad in trouble, are we? ”
Xu Qiaofeng glanced at Mrs. Xu, and was very disdainful of this mother in her heart, blaming herself for not being born in a rich family, her appearance was really a pearl covered with dust. Xu Qiaofeng reminded Mrs. Xu in a low voice: "Mother, let's be quiet, you forgot that there are people from the Lin Mansion outside the door!" ”
Mrs. Xu hurriedly covered her mouth, peeked outside the door, and saw that there was no movement, so she put down her hand, patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death, fortunately I didn't hear it." ”
Xu Qiaofeng glanced at Mrs. Xu, and said in her heart: Even if people hear it, they will pretend not to hear it!
The mother and daughter of the Xu family waited in the side hall for a long time, except for the little maid who came to change tea twice and served fresh plums, no one appeared again. Mrs. Xu was already a little impatient, so she said to Xu Qiaofeng: "This Mrs. Lin won't be deliberately hanging us, don't that little hoof say bad things about us in front of Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin won't come when she is annoyed." ”
Xu Qiaofeng also felt that the time they had waited was a little too long, but when she turned around and thought about when they arrived, it was not so uncomfortable.
"You don't want to think about what time we arrived, I said it was too early, and you said that you came early to show sincerity. What kind of family is the family, what to do at that time is decided, such a big mansion, Mrs. Lin has to take care of it alone, she is pregnant now, it must not be so easy! ”
As soon as the words fell out of the door, there was a sound of footsteps, and the mother and daughter of the Xu family looked at the door at the same time, and Jia Min stepped into the side hall with a smile, wearing a simple goose yellow gauze dress, and a set of jasper on his head, which looked very refreshing. The delicate facial features on the rounded face seem to have been carved by heaven as perfectly, even if he has a big belly, his demeanor is graceful and luxurious. She was followed by an identical-looking maid to her left and right, followed by an old woman with gray hair.
Xu Qiaofeng was shocked by the beauty of the person in front of her, and it was only at this time that she understood what the real pearl should look like. With such a look and such a bearing, even if it is just a simple dress, it makes her as dazzling as a pearl, such a woman, no wonder a fairy-like character like Lin Ruhai will be impressed by her!
"Mrs. Xu, I've kept you waiting for a long time, it's really mundane, you didn't let people hand over a post in advance, and I can't leave a bunch of things behind, please don't be angry!"
