The world is heavy and late

Chapter 275 Ridiculous
It was very convenient for Xia Qing to enter the palace, and Aunt Qiu did not hide anything from Xia Qing.

In fact, there was no need to hide it. Xia Qing and the others didn't know because they were never among the ladies in the capital, but it was very convenient for Xia Qing to know.

So after leaving the palace, Xia Qing invited Song Qi to dinner. It was only then that she found out that the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen was highly praised in the capital.

No one even said it was bad when they saw each other. The aristocratic families were vying for the position of the clan wife. Even the wife of Zhen Guogong could serve her attentively. In terms of housekeeping, there was no one more powerful than the wife of Shizi. up.

When Xia Qing heard the news, she wanted to vomit blood, because she never thought that her relationship with the Song family would be so deeply involved.

It was very embarrassing at the beginning, the first queen belonged to the Song family, but she was naturally on Gu Weiyun's side.

Then he had a conversation with Song Qi out of nowhere, and ended up offending Mrs. Zhen Guogong, that's fine.

The most frightening thing is that my husband-in-law gave me the official position of Second Master Song, and now I am going to ask Mrs. Shizi.

When Xu Zhong heard the news, he looked at Xia Qing and sighed suddenly, and reached out to touch Xia Qing's dazed little head.

He also didn't expect that the karma in the world would be so ridiculous.

But no matter what, Xia Qing, who was thick-skinned, wasn't afraid at all, and asked Song Qi to have dinner as usual, and Song Qi, who was simple-minded, was also very bold, because he hadn't paid any attention to Xia Qing and their family's crap at all.

So I happily handed over a greeting card for Xia Qing, so that Mrs. Shizi didn't have to wait for the servants to sift it before giving it to her. More importantly, it meant that Mrs. Shizi had to go to the banquet.

Mrs. Shi Zi squinted at the greeting card in her hand, and the confidant aunt next to her asked, "Madam, can you go?"

Mrs. Shizi lit the incense burner, picked up the fan and fanned it slowly, the cigarettes curled up, the beauty was picturesque, and she spoke very pleasantly: "Mrs. Xu sincerely invites you, why don't you go."

The aunt asked again: "Where is the seventh young master?"

Mrs. Shizi closed her eyes, her every move exuded a bit of superior laziness, and her red lips parted lightly: "Don't worry about him, the seventh brother is his own anyway, you let people look at you as the fifth son, and ask him not to go to the uncle. go there."

The aunt took the order to retire, and only heard that the seventh young master had a friendship with Mr. Xu, and now I know that the seventh young master and Xu Zhong have a good friendship.

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he got Mrs. Shizi's reply. Xu Zhong put down his pen and said calmly, "Looking at you like this, it seems that you have succeeded?"

Xia Qing's particularly careless legs were raised and placed on the armrest of the chair, and the drooping feet were still shaking, like a frivolous wanderer, taking time to take a look at Xu Zhong.

Sure enough, that calm and breezy look had disappeared, replaced by Xu Zhong's face as sinking as water.

Xia Qing coughed twice, put down her feet and sat aside dignifiedly. In fact, she didn't have to be so unruly, but she was really happy to make Xu Zhong angry.

Obviously Xia Qing has fallen in love with the deadly hobby of teasing tiger's whiskers.

Xia Qing obediently said: "I can't say for sure, let's open it every five or five. I asked Aunt Qiu to tell me a lot about Mrs. Shizi. Humans always ask for things, just like if someone told me now that I would Only by entering the palace can I stay with my favorite Eunuch Xu Zhong, and I will definitely go back without hesitation."

Talk as you say, Xia Qing will still fire sugar-coated cannonballs obediently after he is dead, but who made our Lord Xu eat this, he doesn't like to listen to anyone's good words, only Xia Qing, what does he think? Can't hear enough.

Xu Zhong nodded to understand what Xia Qing was thinking, but after thinking about it, he walked over and smoothed Xia Qing's hair, and said softly, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed, the academy will definitely be established, and you can find someone else for these things."

Xia Qing sat quietly at the side, watching Xu Zhong comb his hair, with a gentle voice: "I know, the best is not necessarily the only one."

"The housekeeper you said is missing, I can make up for it. The female worker Gu Weiyun has hired famous masters in the Textile Bureau, and some other masters have also found suitable people one after another. There are also some tea art and so on. We don’t need to worry about doctorates, or even temperament, but this housekeeper should be bothered.”

When Xia Qing saw Mrs. Shizi, he felt a different mood. He had almost forgotten what kind of mood he was in the palace, probably because the two of them were not looking at each other at that time.

But it's different now, as soon as Mrs. Shizi entered the door, she saw Xia Qing sitting beside her. Xia Qing's hair and clothes were also well-arranged today. It's not luxurious, but it's much better than casually wearing it at home.

The bun naturally depends on our Eunuch Xu. Eunuch Xu once wanted to find a maid to take care of Xia Qing, but Xia Qing refused. There is nothing she can't do by herself. She just doesn't care if it is done well. In order to wear a good-looking bun every day, she bought another girl, how busy she was.

And she knew that neither Xu Zhong nor herself liked having too many people in the family.

Xia Qing saw Mrs. Shizi who was wearing a veil got up first, squatted down and gave a half-respect: "Mrs. Shizi."

Mrs. Song also nodded, and any maid at the side took the veil hat and put it aside, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xu came so early, it's my concubine who came too late."

Xia Qing smiled, stretched out his hand to ask Mrs. Shizi to sit down and greeted him: "I am the host today, there is absolutely no reason for Mrs. Shizi to wait."

After all, the two sat down together, but Xia Qing lifted the hem of her clothes and sat down straight, very unrestrained; while Mrs. Song relied on her aunt's strength to kneel down firmly without moving her skirt.

After the two sat down, they looked up at each other and smiled. Xia Qing poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Song and said, "A few days ago, I asked Mr. Seventh to deliver an invitation to Mrs. Today, I would like to thank Mrs. Song for your appreciation." .”

Mrs. Song pointed at the table with both hands to express her gratitude before picking up the cup. Xia Qing was taken aback by this action. This is a modern tea ceremony, but even Cui Shu and Xie Huizhi were not so particular about drinking tea together.

Mrs. Song was polite: "It's my concubine's honor to be invited by Mrs. Xu. If there is nothing to do in the future, we must see each other often. How could Mrs. Xu be so polite?"

Xia Qing and Mrs. Song drank together, before Xia Qing said: "I invited Madam here today, and I also want to ask Madam for help."

Mrs. Song pursed her lips and said, "If Mrs. Xu needs something, just speak up. If the concubine can do it, how can I refuse?"

Xia Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the water-tight lady in front of him and said: "Madam must have heard about the women's academy a long time ago. The empress wants to set up a course in the women's academy to teach housekeeping. Madam also knows, this woman It seems that the most important thing is the family background, followed by the ability of the housekeeper, and sometimes the ability of the housekeeper is much better than the family background."

After a pause, Xia Qing continued: "Madam's reputation is well known to everyone, and I am here to invite Madam to be the teacher of this academy."

Mrs. Song wanted to refuse without even thinking about it. Firstly, she didn't think anyone would really go to this academy in the end; taught?

This is the foundation of a big family inheritance, and even comprehension depends on one's temperament and ability. Being a housekeeper is not much easier than being an official, especially in the high-level courtyard. Idiots talk about dreams.

Xia Qing was not surprised at all, she reached out to pick up the cup and took a sip of tea, raised her eyes to meet Madam Song's eyes again, Xia Qing said with a smile: "Don't Madam think that the completion of the women's courtyard is also a good thing for our women?" ? Doesn’t Madam have a daughter too?”

Mrs. Song rolled her eyes, not because she was persuaded, but because she was contemptuous. She thought that Aunt Xia of Weiyang Gong would be capable, but she only talked about these things, but what does the world have to do with her? As for her Daughter, I will never do anything because of this women's courtyard.

Xia Qing has been paying attention to Mrs. Song's mood, and sighed slightly in her heart when she saw this scene. Although she knew it long ago, she didn't even expect her to persuade others because of this idea.

After all, if you talk about ideals with others, you must be like-minded people, otherwise it is ridiculous.

But at the moment, she still felt a little regretful. She thought that this was the reason why women became more and more confined. The highest power holders were willing to come out to support it. Unfortunately, the position of the mother of the country was vacant, and the high-ranking ladies were indifferent. No one would stand up and speak out. A person who can stand up and speak may not be able to be heard by others, it is an endless loop.

How lucky is she to wait for a Gu Weiyun?

Xia Qing put down the teacup, and the stone cup made a sound on the wooden table, Xia Qing blocked Mrs. Song's refusal that she was about to say.

Well, she also has other methods.
