Chapter 271: Why Not Me?
Xiaocai tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, and always felt that Madame would have something to say.
But the lady didn't say anything, waved her hand lightly, said a few words like 'work hard, do your duty', and asked her grandmother to take her out.
Xiaocai was a little uneasy and confused, so she heard her grandmother-in-law whispering beside her: "Xiaocai, Mrs. is good to you, right?" In the future, everything will be long-sighted, everything must be in the right place, and everything has your sweetness. But if you're stupid and in the wrong place, then it's not just this time, you know? ”
She's ...... Xiaocai was slightly shocked and nodded: "I know." "It turns out that Madame means here, she wants her to report the traces and words and deeds of the young grandmother from time to time, right? It's really painstaking, I don't know what to say, I asked my grandmother to say it, I want to get rid of this matter, right? is worthy of being a lady, can be a stable daughter-in-law in the hands of an old lady, where can it be simpler?
"Well, go ahead. You don't need to go where the wall has collapsed, go back to your yard and rest. Remember, something smarter. Grandma Sun nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmm." Xiaocai cautiously and quickly left the main courtyard, until she entered the side courtyard where Mi Tao and Peng Yu lived, and when she looked back and saw that no one was following her, she paused slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. If that's what Madame was trying to say, I'm afraid she called the two rough envoys and Fluttershy just now, and said the same thing. If this is the case, wouldn't there be no available people around the young grandmother? She thought with some worry, although the young grandmother had just arrived, she was good to her, and no matter how good the lady was, she was not her top master after all. Whether this should be left or right is really embarrassing......
Just then, Fluttershy passes by her, but she cautiously glances up at her, then quickly looks away and hurries forward, looking secretive. Looks like she guessed right.
Shortly after noon, Mi Tao and Peng Yu'an returned. The main day of returning to the door is to go back to your parents' house to sit and have lunch, but you should come back early, preferably in the midday sun.
As soon as she entered the door, Mi Tao called the two maids around her to rest, and originally wanted to ask Fluttershy Xiaocai to go away, but Peng Yu'an insisted, so she asked them to wait by her side.
After squinting for a moment, Mi Tao takes advantage of Peng Yu'an's absence and asks Fluttershy to go out and rest.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, and quietly told Mi Tao what happened in the morning.
"What? There's such a thing," Mi Tao frowned.
"Young grandmother, don't say that this is what Xiaocai said, otherwise, Xiaocai will be miserable." Xiaocai gently narrowed her eyes, which team she was going to stand on, naturally she knew best. Although the young grandmother has just entered the door and is a junior, she may not necessarily lose to Mrs.
"You can rest assured. Fluttershy's side, I'll try to find an opportunity. If it's not good, I'll think of a replacement. Mi Tao rubbed her eyebrows, and when she went home, several sisters gave her a lot of ideas, but she expected that her mother-in-law would not be too comfortable, so she was not too surprised: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Let's go and rest first, I'll squint for a while, and I don't have to wait. ”
"Yes," Xiaocai retreated a little in her heart.
What does the mother-in-law mean, it's really confusing...... Mi Tao narrowed her eyes, thinking a little confusedly, if you don't want to, don't agree to this thing in the first place. But immediately agreed, she also entered the door, and she was still so awkward, what did she mean? Even if you feel awkward, why do you want to marry her into the door?
Thinking about it, he suddenly chuckled. The sisters in the family couldn't guess anything, what could she come up with? But...... Mi Tao squinted again, she was stupid or stupid, but she also saw some clues these times, the fourth child always knocked on the side to mention her, and when she comforted her, the words were also very firm, as if she knew something, and she didn't tell her.
What's going on......
On the second day, Mi Taoyi served morning tea to Mrs. Peng earlier, and only rested for a while when she returned to the courtyard, and was called by Mrs. Peng again, saying that the flowers in the back garden would be gone in a few days, and she wanted to accompany her to enjoy the flowers.
"I'm going to Mrs. Lu tomorrow as a guest, you are from the countryside, and you don't have any insight and vision, so don't follow me for the time being." While strolling among the flowers, Mrs. Peng said casually: "Stay in the house for the past few days, ask Grandma Sun to teach you more about the etiquette of our rich family, dress up and speak, and I'll take you out again." ”
She didn't say that she wanted to follow, didn't she say this just to emphasize that she was from the countryside, had no education, and had no quality? Mi Tao quietly took a deep breath, in her opinion, her quality was much stronger than her mother-in-law: "Hmm." ”
"Come to think of it, you don't know anyone in the town, and it is estimated that there will not be any young lady and lady who invite you to play, so you can learn with peace of mind these days. I'll take you out a few times, and then I'll get to know a few noble ladies slowly. Don't forget to talk less in front of people. Mrs. Peng's face was calm and relaxed, with a graceful and luxurious look.
The grandmother-in-law and the two big girls who were serving Mrs. Peng on the side all looked smiling, as if they were laughing at Mi Tao.
Mi Tao pursed her lips and suppressed her anger: "I know." ”
"You see, as soon as you say it, you make a mistake again. When you talk to me, you have to use the phrase 'go back to your mother', and what you used yesterday is the best, why don't you use it today? Mrs. Peng looked at her with a light smile, gentle, and kind. This kind of gaze gives people an extremely crazy feeling, as if they have been despised under the surface.
"Mother, didn't you just say that you told me to talk less?" Mi Tao also followed Mrs. Peng's example, and threw out a sentence with a smile.
Mrs. Peng choked and laughed softly: "This is at home, not outside." Learn to be discretionary in everything. ”
Mi Tao quietly rolled her eyes and didn't respond.
Mrs. Peng smiled smugly with satisfaction, and said to the grandmother next to her: "Tomorrow to go to Lufu, you have to go to the ward again after a while." Mrs. Lu is always forgetful, don't tell me to pounce again. ”
"Yes," Grandma Sun nodded.
As he was talking, he heard a little girl at the entrance of the garden whispering: "Aunt Sun? Aunt Sun? ”
"What's the matter? There are no rules and no distances, what are you yelling here? Grandma Sun snorted softly, turned her feet and walked over quickly. After a while, he came back: "Madam, Mrs. Lu sent someone to say that tomorrow's small gathering will be canceled temporarily, and ask Madame to go back in a few days." We'll talk about it later. ”
"Cancellation? It's all said, why cancel it again? Mrs. Peng's eyebrows tightened.
"I said that I was going to accompany Master Lu to the Gu family banquet."
"The Gu family's small banquet?" Mrs. Peng's eyebrows tightened more and more: "Can you invite our master?" Why haven't I heard? Are you going to go alone? ”
"Back to Mrs., the master didn't receive the post. The old slave inquired carefully about the mother-in-law of the Lu family just now, saying that this small banquet only invited a few of the most prominent people in the town, and the post was sent a few days earlier, and there was no more demand. ”
"What?" Mrs. Peng's face finally couldn't help showing a little displeasure: "What does the Gu family mean by this!" ”
Mi Tao watched from the side, it was none of her business, and she didn't say a word.
Seeing that Mrs. Peng was angry, Mrs. Sun and the two maids who were waiting next to her didn't dare to make a sound, and stood honestly one by one.
"It's really ......" Mrs. Peng stood in place and gritted her teeth for a while, still murmuring a little angrily: "It's really ......" muttered a few words, took a deep breath, and said to herself: "That's it, what to do with them about such a trivial matter, it's not bad to be interested." After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Mi Tao, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Even if you are free, I will teach you some etiquette at home tomorrow." ”
Before Mi Tao could respond, another little girl entered the back garden. This time, I didn't dare to call lightly, but I cautiously walked to Grandma Sun's side and whispered: "Aunt Sun, someone came from outside just now, saying that it was a post for the young grandmother, and tomorrow there will be a small banquet in the Gu Mansion." ”
"Gu Mansion Banquet?" Grandma Sun stared and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"What? Is the Gu family's next post coming? Mrs. Peng thought it was for her, and a little joy appeared on her face, and she covered it with a slight anger: "Hmph, I'll just say, the Gu family has a small banquet, why don't you invite us?" That's it, it's a few days late, look at me tomorrow, how ashamed of my wife. ”
"Husband, madam, the post is for the young grandmother......" The grandmother's voice should laugh and not cry.
The light smile on Mrs. Peng's face froze for a moment.
Mi Tao was also a little surprised, please her? What the hell, the lord and lady of the Gu family, she has never even seen each other.
"What? Show me. Mrs. Peng's face was a little unbearable, she took the post with a stiff smile, looked at it carefully, and looked at Mi Tao again, a little incredulous: "How could it be ......?" and grabbed her grandmother again, and asked: "The person who sent the post didn't say anything?" ”
"Did you say anything else?" The grandmother looked at the little girl who entered the courtyard.
Xiao Yahuan replied respectfully: "I just said that it was a post for the young grandmother, and I asked to hand the post to the young grandmother, saying that I must go tomorrow." Didn't say anything else. ”
"Didn't mention our lord and lady?" Grandma Sun added.
"No ......" Xiao Yahuan was a little timid, and the eyes of Mrs. and Aunt Sun were really terrible. She swallowed her throat and added: "The person who sent the post is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, tall and handsome, but she has never been here, like a girl newly bought by the Gu family." ”
Girl? Mi Tao blinked, and suddenly thought of cherries. When she returned to her home yesterday, she said inexplicably: "Where you are asked to go tomorrow, you can just go, and say less!" "I didn't understand it at the time, but now it seems that this is the case! This girl!
