Han Xiying called Zheng Haizhu in a coquettish voice, but when the other party came up, she didn't seem to dare to look directly, and quickly cast her eyes on Lu Xiangsheng's face, and then turned into a cramped and dodging state, and the lotus step moved lightly, and retreated behind the Gu family's daughter-in-law, Shen.

Zheng Haizhu saw her good pretentious tone in her eyes, so she didn't have the appetite to take a second look, so she only gave up half of her position and introduced Lu Xiangsheng to Shen's land.

Shen Shiyun was graceful, and said to Lu Xiangsheng with a kind face: "Lu Gongzi is here to appreciate the light, you can rest assured." Azhu treats people and things, not only on the side of her in-laws, but also on the old lady of our family. But you young brothers, you can't just read books but also teach, and when I turn around, I will call Shou Qian to accompany you to Sheshan and other places. ”

Lu Xiangsheng has been here for many days, and Zheng Haizhu has successively told him all kinds of public information about Songjiang Mansion, such as the situation of government officials and the relationship between the gentry group, including the marriage between his own master family and the Gu Mansion.

Yes, when Lu Xiangsheng heard the name of Second Young Master Gu, he hurriedly said: "Grandma Cheng is careful, and the younger generation is also wanting to visit and ask Brother Gu about the art of making." ”

After he finished speaking, because he saw that the Shen family had no more greetings, and saw a shy girl hiding behind the Shen family, he didn't want to stay long, holding those "mines" teaching aids, and said, "The younger generation will go to the library first", and then said goodbye and left Qingyuan.

There were no outsiders present, and Shen's attitude became more and more cordial, and he pointed to Zheng Haizhu at the boxes brought by the servants: "The old lady is more attentive to you." On that day, Zhuxiang said that when she saw you bargaining with the shopkeeper for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the street, the old lady immediately blamed herself, saying that she promised to do something for you, what honorary principal, how to only wear it as a flower, and not to make any efforts, so she immediately ordered someone to order these four treasures of the study, and let me send them to you. ”

After that, he took Han Xiying again: "I wanted to bother Ximeng to bring me here today, but when I got to the house, I learned that she accompanied the second grandmother to worship the Buddha, so I caught this little girl's errand." ”

Zheng Haizhu stared at Han Xiying: "Our third lady is the most enthusiastic person, in fact, she is also the first time to come back." ”

Han Xiying had not yet been able to introduce herself to Lu Gongzi by Zheng Haizhu, and she had already accumulated a lot of anger in her chest.

She didn't want to get acquainted with the pale, rustic Lu Gongzi, it sounded like she was just a nerd from the countryside of Yixing, who didn't even deserve to lift shoes for Brother Shouqian, who rarely socialized with him.

Han Xiying was angry that Zheng Haizhu ignored his own style with a smile.

She is just a slippery and open-minded inferior woman, plus a few taels of shit luck, running errands and selling hard work for high-ranking officials and nobles, she has become a celebrity who has the blue eyes of eunuchs and can deceive sons to pay for running schools?

Can she Han Xiying, the real lady of the Han Mansion, be trampled under her feet like mud?

No wonder she can teach her sister Han Ximeng to like it, their master and servant are both the same temperament, and they bully people with a knife in their smile.

But the anger in Han Xiying's heart died down in time before it was about to burn to her cheeks.

She remembered Grandma Shen's previous encouragement to herself: "Child, you are too honest, when you saw a woman like Zheng Yatou who came from the wild road, she shrank back first." You should meet her more, not to choke her with words, not to block her, not to get back face like a child, but to practice in front of her, no matter how she treats you, you will not be afraid of her, not annoyed her, and will not be overwhelmed by her. Thou hast done what thou hast thought and sought, and hast said thee, and done thee, and it was thee. ”

In Han Xiying's eyes, Grandma Shen, who is in charge of Gu Fuzhonggui, is not only smart and capable, but also a well-deserved leader in the Songjiang celebrity ladies and ladies club, and is very fair, and she doesn't seem to want to see the arrogant and chattering eldest sister Han Xiying, but she cherishes her as the third lady of the Han family.

Since she felt much more warmth from Grandma Shen last year than her mother, Han Xiying has often sighed, if Second Brother Gu is Grandma Shen's son, how good it would be, Grandma Shen's daughter-in-law may be herself.

At this moment, Han Xiying, who has the support of Grandma Shen in her imagination, lives up to her name, and with the sense of hope in her mind, she has stabilized a peaceful and noble frame in front of this grass chicken surnamed Zheng.

"Sister Azhu is right, I am indeed the first time to come back, but fortunately, this school has a novel reputation in Songjiang, and finally did not lead Grandma Shen to the wrong way. Sister Azhu, I heard from the second uncle and the second aunt that in my eldest sister's dowry, there is a sewing shop, which is also placed in this school, so I can teach us to take a look? ”

No matter how disgusted Zheng Haizhu is with Han Xiying, it is not good to lose her etiquette in front of the Gu family and daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Shen was also nodding and being a little interested, Zheng Haizhu made a happy look and led the two to the west to the "Banana Garden".

According to Zheng Haizhu's vision, "Jiaoyuan" mainly teaches students embroidery, textile, fabric dyeing, sewing and tailoring, etc., as a reserve talent base for Songjiang to export textile and apparel supplies.

Therefore, Zheng Haizhu simply moved to Jiaoyuan in the clothes shop where Mr. and Mrs. Han married Han Ximeng, anyway, the main goal was to receive foreign trade orders through the Weaving Bureau or through Yan Siqi's channels, and not to compete with those local tailor shops in Songjiang.

When the three of them stepped into the house, Versace was cutting a piece of ivory-white cotton cloth on the wide willow plank table, while his daughter Fan Poyu was discussing with her two mothers-in-law how to lock the neat edges of the sleeves like fungus.

There were five or six more young women, on the other side by the window, embroidering purses-like objects.

Except for Versace's father and daughter, they are all people who were originally employed by Hanfu Weaving.

When everyone saw Shen and their third lady coming in, they all got up and saluted.

Shen greeted kindly: "You are busy with yours, take advantage of the bright hall." ”

In the soft yellow grass frame in the center of the room, there were already many ivory-white ready-to-wear clothes.

Shen picked up one and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Ah Zhu, this middle coat is so strange, which end is up and which end is down?" ”

Zheng Haizhu said: "Grandma, this is a trial order from Gonggong Liu of the Weaving Bureau, and it will be sold to the Hongyi people." ”

Shen Shi said "oh", turned his head and saw Han Xiying standing under the window, so he also walked over.

Han Xiying asked one of the young girls in a soft voice, "Ah Zhen, what are you embroidering?" ”

The girl named "Ah Zhen" raised her face, but her eyelids were a little swollen, and there were still tears in her eyes, as if she had just cried.

Han Xiying was stunned for a moment, but quickly saw the picture on the purse.

At the same time, Ah Zhen's eyes looked at Zheng Haizhu a little timidly.

Zheng Haizhu walked over, still calmly telling the Shen family: "Grandma, this is also to be sold to the merchants." ”

Shen said: "Oh? Is it also the work of the imperial court? ”

Zheng Haizhu answered.

Shen boasted: "It's amazing. No wonder Ximeng's shop doesn't have to be opened in a lively market at all, just like the inner workshop of the imperial court. Hey, I really should have asked the old lady to take a look today, she didn't work as an errand in the court before. ”

smiled and teased: "Ah Zhu, you are really the first to open our Songjiang atmosphere." Everyone next to them, who married their daughters, were all mothers-in-law and maids, and Han Erye was good, and he married a female shopkeeper for the eldest lady. ”

Zheng Haizhu was busy repaying the humility, but in his heart, he judged the same as before, and always felt that the eldest daughter-in-law of Gu Fu, between the bodhisattva-like amiable eyebrows, there was a kind of gloom that pondered people.

"Okay, Azhu, I see that you are all busy, I'll go back with your third miss. Master Fan, Sister Fan, you work hard, everyone works hard. Emerald pomegranate, tea and silver? ”

When Shen said goodbye, he even rewarded each person with five cents of silver, which was equivalent to a day's and a half wages for the workers.

Zheng Haizhu thanked everyone and accompanied Shen to the door.

Han Xiying walked behind them and quietly glanced at Ah Zhen under the window.

Ah Zhen pinched the silver, and was also looking at her third lady, like a wronged cat, looking at the old master.

The sedan chair man carried the sedan chair and walked a few steps, and Shen patted the back of Han Xiying's hand: "Ah Ying, this surnamed Zheng really dislikes it." Today, in front of me, she doesn't know what the rules of your subordinates are, you can imagine how she and your sister bullied you two in the house. ”

Han Xiying didn't intend to show emotion, but blinked her eyes and said with a strange excitement: "Grandma, the clothes that those Taixi people want to wear are fine, but Ah Zhen's embroidery, those embroidered purses, are full of pictures of the Wa Kingdom!" It's the same as the painting of the Japanese Kingdom that Zheng Haizhu got for my eldest sister. ”
