Pictures of pomegranates

Chapter 125

In the Chu family, Xie Rouxi doesn't need her own name. She is just known as the teacher who takes care of the old lady.Although she sounds like a teacher, she is actually no different from a teacher in a barber shop. When others look at her, there is no respect or curiosity in their eyes.

Because Xie Rouxi was one of the 167 tutors hired by the old lady of the Chu family. Most of the previous teachers could only work for a few days before being dismissed due to the old lady's various disdain.This also explains why even a small housekeeping company like Sister Fang can find reliable tutors all over Jiangsu City for the famous Chu family.

Because the old lady came from a famous family, she was born and raised as a lady with a silver spoon in her mouth. She has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in her life without experiencing the hardships of life.Now that she is older, she wants to enjoy life even more, and her daily life is much more particular and careful than before.Therefore, it is quite difficult to find a tutor for such an old lady, and the Chu family also has various stringent employment requirements.

For example, a girl who applies for a job as a governess must first have good appearance, good temperament, and a clean background, so that the old lady can look at her with ease; secondly, she must have a good personality, be gentle, patient, and talented, and be able to get along with the old lady and really teach her. There are some new things that she doesn’t know about the wife; again, there are unmarried, local, good health, lively personality, etc. The conditions for hiring a tutor are actually higher than the standards for ordinary people to get married. No wonder many outsiders call it Chu Home is the ceiling of the user world.

At first, many people were envious of those who could apply for this job. However, as time passed, the old lady of the Chu family became more and more known as being difficult to take care of, and this job became a difficult hot potato for everyone to deal with. Of course, Xie Rouxi is not optimistic either.

"Don't talk when you go in later. The old lady asked you to speak before you can speak. Remember?" After Xie Rouxi changed into the uniform work clothes of the Chu family, a man who looked like a butler said to her.

Xie Rouxi nodded without saying anything. She remembered the days when she worked at Xin'an University and the villain leader.

"Remember, the old lady doesn't like fancy and complicated things. She also pays special attention to details and quality in small things. Every decoration and every scenery here is arranged by her herself." Looking at Xie Rouxi's well-behaved and docile expression It seemed that the butler man made a few remarks with some affection.

"Remember it, thank you!" Xie Rouxi said.

This Chu House is a five-story small foreign-style building, with swimming pools and gardens in the front and rear. It occupies a much larger area than the Xie family and the Li family. This is the back garden that the housekeeper refers to as the old lady's favorite.It is said to be a back garden, but in fact the lighting, environment and configuration are excellent, because the small western-style building is located in Yuehe Bay in Sioux City, which is the best and most famous Feng Shui treasure place in the city. Small single-family western-style buildings like this are not Not everyone can buy it with money.

Mrs. Chu's natal family and her husband's family are both very powerful families. The real estate in Yuehewan was developed by her natal brothers in the United States, so the single-family house where the Chu family lives occupies the best location.It is built with Yuehe Mountain as its back and facing the Yuehe River. On both sides of the road in front of the door are transplanted towering old trees. The lawns surrounding the single-family house are neatly trimmed and full of green. The nearest house is also two doors away. Three kilometers.

Single-family houses with such a location and environment are very rare not only in Sioux City, but also in the whole country. With the development of society in recent years and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the real estate around Yuehe Bay has been sold to sky-high prices, and even more Don't talk about the price in Yuehe Bay.

Following the butler, Xie Rouxi silently estimated the market price of Chu House. She estimated that the old lady's assets were comparable to her grandfather Xie Kangnian.When we arrived in the back garden, what caught our eyes was a very Jiangnan-style pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by a variety of unfamiliar but very beautiful flowers and plants, plus a circle of cobblestones, a stone path, and a carefully crafted arch bridge. Two elegant fish ponds, this is what the entire back garden looks like.

Someone on the Internet said before that in order to prevent heatstroke, wealthy people in the Middle East did not hesitate to install air conditioners in open-air stadiums.The old lady in front of her was in the same style. The pavilion she was in was not only equipped with air conditioning, but also had exquisite mahogany tables and chairs for entertaining and resting. It also had special gauze curtains that were almost invisible hanging down and a kind of very nice light. Smell the incense.

This kind of decoration is extremely elegant, which not only shows the nobility of the old lady, but also sets off her good taste. No wonder the old lady is still very dissatisfied even after more than 100 tutors have been replaced.At this time, Mrs. Chu sitting in the pavilion in front of her deeply confirmed the saying "Beauty is in the bones but not in the skin."I heard that Mrs. Chu was 78 years old, but she didn't look old in the slightest. She exuded an indescribable beauty and elegance.Wearing a dark green silk cheongsam with an off-white shawl, her white hair was neatly combed into a bun. The jade bracelets, pearl necklaces and fashionable stilettos with excellent texture all set off Mrs. Chu's look. Extraordinarily decent and touching.

The butler in black uniform had a stern face, looked around with sharp eyes, and then walked quickly to the pavilion.

He bowed deeply towards the pavilion and said, "Old lady, I've brought you here!"

When the old lady heard the sound, she walked slowly to the curtain of the pavilion and asked calmly through the curtain: "Oh, which one is it this time?"

The butler replied hurriedly and respectfully: "That's the number 13 you picked. Xie Rouxi, come here!"

With that said, he asked Xie Rouxi to stand in front of the pavilion, but his expression became more and more humble.Originally, in Xie Rouxi's eyes, this housekeeper was tall and tall, and he exuded a fierce aura. He looked like an arrogant big shot.But now, the housekeeper stood in front of the very elegant Mrs. Chu, and could only nod and bow to cater to her. This feeling made Xie Rouxi feel very strange.

Just as she secretly looked at the two of them, the old lady in the pavilion also fell silent. She was also looking at Xie Rouxi attentively.

After a while, the old lady said calmly: "I still like this look, what is your name?"

"Hello, old lady, my name is Xie Rouxi!"

"The hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a caterpillar grub, the teeth are like gourds and rhinoceros, the head is like a rhinoceros, the eyebrows are furry, the smile is charming, and the beautiful eyes are full of hope. Your family is very prophetic. Girls who are too beautiful cannot endure hardship. Yes, this job is not suitable for you!"

"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade. Whether he can do his job has nothing to do with his appearance!"

"Xie Rouxi, you..." Before Mrs. Chu could say anything, a middle-aged woman who looked very powerful shouted loudly behind them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu frowned and interrupted very displeasedly: "Alan, why are you speaking so loudly? You two go down first, and I'll talk to her!"
