Chapter 285: The First Maid
Xun Zhen stood in front of the car openly, and the smile on his face was a little fake.
She was really upset.
Inexplicably robbed of an errand, seeing that this little marquis wrapped up their girl away, how did this happen?
She hurried or slowed down, the girl had already gotten into the car, and her maid did not complete the escort task, but was drenched in soup.
She lowered her head, glanced at Pei Shu fiercely from under her hair, and raised her hand to collect the umbrella.
"Find the truth, get in the car." A clear voice came from the car, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so she specially reminded: "Leave the umbrella to the little marquis, they only have a set of rain gear." ”
Xun Zhen immediately got up in a daze, answered yes, handed the umbrella back, climbed into the carriage, and closed the door with a "bang".
Now it's okay, she is the only one in front of the girl, and she is the first big girl in the body.
"Come back, girl, it's raining so hard." The little revenge succeeded, and Xun Zhen immediately found a very legitimate reason to endorse his actions: "Madame said that if the girl is sick, she should ask the maid. ”
Chen Ying looked at her funny, shook her head, and raised her voice outside the car door: "Little Hou Ye stays, I'll go back first." ”
Outside the door, a mellow echo as wine soon sounded: "Okay, slow down." ”
Chen Ying smiled.
Even though they couldn't see each other inside and outside the car, the smile still floated on her cheeks.
Xunzhen knocked on the wall of the car, the carriage walked slowly, and the sound of hooves "got it" shattered the wind and rain of early summer, as if it had also stepped into people's hearts.
The rain did not stop until the afternoon of the next day.
It is naturally impossible to investigate the scene, Chen Ying thought, while she has nothing to do, it is better to prepare more classes, so as not to return to Jinan in a few days and not be able to keep up.
However, as soon as she opened the textbook and had not written a few words, the maid walked in with a curtain, and said crisply: "Girl, Ding Liu is waiting outside, saying that he brought a letter to the girl." ”
This Ding Liu is Li Heng's long-term entourage, it is said that he is very trustworthy, when the Penglai County ink corruption case was cracked last year, it was Ding Liu and Han Duanli who secretly contacted and got the strong support of this local snake, which finally tore open the big net of collusion between officials and businessmen in Penglai County.
Why did he come all of a sudden? Could it be that Li Heng has something to do there?
Chen Ying was suspicious, got up and ordered: "Please ask him to wait in the main room, I will be there immediately." ”
Da Seal took the order and left, and Xun Zhen came up to comb Chen Ying's hair.
Because she was at home, she only had a random hair today, and she couldn't see outsiders.
"Actually, it's really unnecessary for me to say." Mother Luo was not around, Chen Ying was finally able to complain a little, then looked at Xun Zhen in the mirror and said with a smile: "Ding Liu can't really see me, there is a screen to block it, it's nothing for me to go to the main room like this." ”
Xunzhen was so frightened that the comb was almost unstable, and said softly: "Good girl, you should pity the poor maid, if you let Luo's mother know that the maid won't comb your hair, you will have to punish the maid for not going out after you go back." ”
Chen Ying just said it casually. If it is not necessary, she is extremely reluctant to embarrass these subordinates, so she laughs at this time: "I'll just talk about it in vain, what are you afraid of?" ”
Xunzhen quickly finished dressing up for Chen Ying, and called a few mothers-in-law and maids to guard them, and the group went to the main room.
Ding Liu was standing outside the screen under the hall at this moment, bowing his head and binding his hands according to the rules, waiting for the arrival of the master, and heard the sound of clothes rustling, he knew that this was the arrival of the master, and immediately bowed down to salute.
Chen Ying called up first, and politely asked him if the journey was good, Ding Liuyi replied one by one, and then got down to business: "Cousin girl, the little one is back in Penglai County, first, the old man has something to do with his original appointment and has not yet been dealt with, so he will clean up the little one; The second is that Mrs. Gu has an urgent letter to be handed over to the cousin, telling the little one to be handed over to the girl by hand. ”
As he spoke, he took out the letter from his sleeve and said, "Mrs. Gu has explained everything to the little one, and the cousin girl will read the letter first, if there is anything you don't understand, the little one will tell the cousin." ”
Chen Ying was a little surprised when she heard this, so she took the letter in, opened it and hurriedly scanned it, and couldn't help but sigh first.
The Li family is going back to Shengjing.
Mrs. Xu suddenly sent a letter, saying that Chen Pu - that is, the grandson of the chief of the Guogong Mansion and the eldest brother of Chen Ying - will get married in May this year.
This is the first marriage in the younger generation of the Guogong Mansion, and Li, as the mother of the second house, is indispensable.
In addition, Chen Lu's marriage has also been decided, the man is the eldest son of the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, Lord Yuan, it is said that he is a handsome and knowledgeable son, known in Beijing for his side, and will be eighteen this year, which can be a good match for Chen Lu.
According to Mrs. Xu's meaning, as soon as Chen Pu's marriage is over, Chen Yi will leave the cabinet after the stubble, and the marriage date preliminarily finalized between the Guogong Mansion and the Yuan family will be in the autumn of this year.
Counting the days, there is only a gap of three or four months between these two major events, and the connection is still quite tight, and the Guogong Mansion will be busy for a while from summer to autumn, and even if the Li family doesn't care about things, it is not easy to stay out of the matter.
"When did Mother leave?" Chen Ying accepted the letter and asked.
Ding Liu hurriedly said: "If you want to reply to you, Mrs. Gu set off on the day of Xiao's departure, that is, four days ago. ”
"You've worked hard." Chen Ying said with a smile.
Ding Liu's journey must have been a fast horse, Xiaoxing overnight, and he rushed from Jinan to Penglai in only four days, which can be called fast.
"What about my second sister and fourth sister? Can they go back to Shengjing with their mother? Chen Ying asked again.
Lee's letter did not explain the whereabouts of the two of them.
Ding Liu bowed down and said: "The two cousins haven't left, Mrs. Gu specially told you to tell the little one, please go back to Beijing alone, and the two cousins have to continue to stay in Jinan." ”
When Chen Ying heard this, she couldn't help but be quite surprised, and asked, "What is this for?" ”
Chen Xiang and Chen Han stayed in Jinan alone, and there was no Li family in the middle, and Chen Ying left again, and the relationship between the relatives on both sides was much farther away.
Ding Liugan laughed a few times and said, "Mrs. Gu quietly told the little one that this was what the old lady of the country meant, and also said that when the cousin girl left, don't be too quiet, and if you can be quiet, you can be quiet." ”
This is an iron determination to dry the Chen Xiang sisters in Jinan.
Chen Ying responded with tears and laughter, thinking that there was nothing else to do, so he ordered someone to send Ding Liu down to rest.
After coming out of the main room, Xun Zhen asked softly beside him, "Is the girl going back to the house?" ”
Chen Ying raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, and sighed: "Isn't it, the affairs of the girls' school can only be helped by asking someone to help first." ”
The shelter and kindergarten are easy to run, even if you leave a trustworthy housekeeper mother down, plus Ye Qing assists from the side, you can always turn around. However, the curriculum of the girls' school is dead, Chen Ying is also a multi-class, once she is gone, there is really no substitute.
Ying said helplessly, only to feel that everything was different, and it made people a little hurried.
"As long as I prepare the lesson plan first, they can make up for a few days according to the textbook." She said again.
The problem of teachers has become more and more imminent, and Chen Ying's feeling at the moment is that there is nowhere to be powerful.
