Chapter 542: Big Pomp
"No, you're far away! Call him uncle, that's all polite."
Mrs. Zong looked disdainful, and her words and demeanors were all disdainful of the third master of the Zong family.
Zhao Fuling blinked in confusion and turned her head to look at Miao Lan.
Miao Lan lowered her voice and said with a smile: "The third master of the Zong family has nothing to do with our old lady, whether it is the old lady's brother's lineage, or the concubine."
"Oh." Zhao Lingling nodded clearly.
This kind of clan, which has a large family, even if it is several generations apart, likes to gather together to live.
And then it is very clear what is the side branch, and there is still a chain of contempt in it.
Zhao Fuling didn't want to ask more, but she dizzy after asking too much.
The old lady rejected the third master of the Zong family, and rejected Zong You, so Miao Lan also talked about the second master of the Zong family by the way.
Zong You is from the second room, but he also has nothing to do with the old lady, the second master Zong was born to the old lady's aunt and is also a concubine.
Zong You is also a descendant of the concubine, but the people in the second room are quite capable, and they also have more say in the Zong family.
The entire Zong family, in terms of what is really related to Miss Ling, is the sixth master of the Zong family.
That was Mrs. Zong's own son, Miss Ling's maternal uncle.
However, this sixth master is unlearned and addicted to gambling, and under the constraints of his mother, he can only afford a little more ink. And he is a young son, relatively young, and now he is only in his thirties.
After Miao Lan said this, she saw that the old lady of the sect was a little tired, so she said to Zhao Fuling, "Miss, go back and rest, I'm tired from coming all the way." Later in the day, Zhuangzi will prepare a reception banquet for you."
Zhao Fuling nodded, got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Zong.
The girl-in-law who had arranged her own took Zhao Fuling out, and when she was far away, Mrs. Zong asked Miao Lan, "What do you think of this girl?"
Miao Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave feels that she has the demeanor of the old lady."
Old Madam Zong smiled and shook her head, "I see that she is shrewd, pretending to be confused in front of us. Think about it, how can this little big girl, who was brought to Lingnan alone, not be afraid at all? I didn't see that she was scared."
Miao Lan thinks about it, Zhao Fuling has been very easy-going since she entered Zhuangzi.
And he also accepted his identity well, so he didn't need to be reminded, and he consciously changed his words.
If it were someone else, it would definitely not be able to do it to this extent.
Mrs. Zong said, "Observe and observe again, and see how this girl is?" Send someone to inquire again, and find out where Zong You brought this girl back."
When Miao Lan heard this, she sighed: "The young master in Zhuangzi has tried his best one by one for the sake of the wealth and wealth of the sky. The slave maid had asked someone to inquire before, but the Seventh Young Master had kept it a secret, and he hadn't asked anything so far."
Old Madam Zong sneered, "Ask him? It's better to ask this girl directly. It's ......."
Mrs. Zong got up and said to Miao Lan, "Send someone to Liangyan, and on the way to inquire about the news, check what Zong You has done."
Miao Lan nodded in response and helped Mrs. Zong to walk out.
The maidservants in the main hall stood on both sides, and when they saw the old lady walking down from above, they all bowed down.
When Mrs. Zong went out, they followed the fish out.
If Zhao Fuling was present and saw this scene, she would have to sigh in her heart.
At this time, Zhao Fuling was looking at the decoration facilities in the new courtyard.
Because it is a palace reconstruction, the closest place to the center of the entire mountain villa is in the palace style of the imperial city.
Zhao Fuling was arranged for a whole palace.
This palace is not as good as any palace in the Qi capital, and the space occupied is not even comparable to the Chonghua Palace where Zhao Fuling lived, but it is exquisite and ingenious.
After all, it is the Emperor's Palace, and it can't really be more luxurious and spacious than the Imperial City.
Seeing Zhao Fuling looking around, the maidservant who was in charge of her daily life said, "This Liuyue Palace was originally lived by the eldest lady.
Now that you have returned, Miss, the old lady has arranged for you to stay in this palace."
Zhao Fuling understood after hearing this, she turned her head and asked, "After my mother left, this palace has been empty?"
"Yes." The maidservant smiled and said, "The original ones left in the Zhuangzi are all in the three palaces. The largest Hechun Palace is where the old lady lives, and the Minghua Palace in the west is where the second master's family is inside. It's also the Liuyue Palace, and I've always kept it for you."
Zhao Fuling nodded, walked towards the main hall, and then said, "There are several halls in this palace, isn't it a waste to be so empty?"
"How can it?" The maidservant girl followed up and said with a smile, "Miss has different identities and different statuses, this Liuyue Palace is empty, and others can't step into it at will. However, the house has been sprinkled and cleaned up, so the young lady can live with peace of mind."
Zhao Fuling didn't answer, and walked into the hall and looked around.
Incense was lit in the hall, and smoke rose from the tabletop, lining the whole room hazy and dreamy.
The smell of sandalwood spreads from the house, and finally it is released everywhere in the doors and windows.
Zhao Fuling looked around, walked to the indoor stepping bed and sat down, looked at the maid who followed her step by step and asked, "What is your name?"
The maidservant replied to her with a smile: "The slave maid is called Yingxia, and she was originally serving the old lady. There are a lot of people in this village, and the old lady is not worried about sending people from others, so she asks the slave maid to come and follow the young lady."
Zhao Fuling understood, which meant that she was her own person and could be trusted.
She smiled and nodded to Yingxia, "I've worked hard for Sister Yingxia today, is there anything else to do later?"
Ying Xia was stunned for a moment when she was asked, and only after coming back to her senses did she ask with a smile, "Miss, don't shout like that, it's not good for people to hear it." You've worked hard all the way here, and the slave and maid have called for hot water, so bathe first, right?"
Zhao Fuling nodded: "Okay."
Yingxia quickly went out to order, Zhao Fuling looked around again, and found that the room was magnificent, and all the valuable objects were placed, but there were few antiques and the like.
If the nobles in Beijing see it, I'm afraid they will scold the nouveau riche.
She pursed her lips and smiled, leaning against the edge of the bed and closing her eyes for a moment.
Yingxia quickly brought someone in and brought a change of clothes to Zhao Lingling.
Zhao Fuling walked into the bathtub to relax her body, and seeing that Yingxia hadn't left yet, she leaned on the edge of the bathtub and asked, "Is there a lot of people going to the third master's birthday today?"
Ying Xia shook his head: "The third master is not valued in Zhuangzi, the old lady doesn't go, and there are not many other people who go."
Zhao Fuling asked again, "What did the Seventh Young Master say when he came back today that the third master had his birthday, and the maids and servants in the Zhuangzi had all been borrowed?"
"That's just fooling Miss." Ying Xia laughed, "Today, everyone is preparing to welcome the young lady back, who can borrow all the slaves?"
