The Blessing of Traveling to Pregnancy

Chapter 16

For some unknown reason, the Lin family suddenly remembered their daughter who had been left in the villa for ten years and had sent so many people to take care of her at once.

The two old mothers who came here are all old people in the Beijing house.

Mother Wang is responsible for disciplining the maids, and her methods of training the maids are vigorous and vigorous. Even the maids of the mistress Xu's family in the mansion will treat her a little less.Mother Zhang is just the opposite. She is an old mother who specializes in teaching young ladies etiquette. It is said that she retired from the palace and served the empress before.

Unlike Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhang is a bit fat and smiles all day long, but everyone in the mansion knows that those who can get out of the palace safely are all good people!Therefore, compared to Mama Wang's superficial majesty, Mama Zhang's hidden knife in her smile scares the maids even more, and even the ladies in the mansion are courteous to Mama Zhang.

Mrs. Xu sent two capable old men from the mansion in one go, mainly because she was worried that Qingmei had little experience in the countryside and villages these years, so that she would not lose face to the Lin mansion after returning to Beijing, so she specially asked the two mothers to help Qingmei made a surprise attack, doing superficial kung fu.

"Miss, your Wanfuli's left hand is raised a little bit higher." Mother Zhang smiled slightly, her eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, "Hold your right hand on your left waist, slightly prop your right foot, bend your knees and nod slightly at the same time. Yes, please follow the servant girl to learn it again."

Qing Mei sighed and had to do it all over again.Mama Zhang has really brought the principle of not hitting a smiling face to the extreme. No matter how substandard Qingmei's behavior is, she still has a smiling face, neither angry nor angry, she will just repeat it over and over again until you do it. standard action.

"Miss, every lady should smile without showing her teeth." After the teaching, please greet, and Mama Zhang began to teach smiling again.There is no way, they will only stay in Biezhuang for three days, and will take Qingmei back after three days.In these three days, she can only teach the most basic and most frequently used etiquette, and the rest... well, there is a long way to go.Zhang's mother complained in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, "The fan is half covered, don't hold the handle completely, just pick it up gently."

Dongqiao and Liangfeng stood aside, Dongqiao whispered: "Actually, Miss doesn't smile at all, there is no need to cover her face."

Liangfeng was about to strike up a conversation, but felt a cold gaze fall on them.Mother Wang, who was in charge of training the maids, walked over with a cold face.Dongqiao and Liangfeng were startled, and there was a chill behind their backs.

"If you two girls who don't understand the rules, if you return to the capital, how can you allow you to whisper to each other like this!" If it wasn't for Qingmei's strong request, she would not want to bring these two country girls back to the house.

Dongqiao and Liangfeng immediately shut their mouths, and carefully followed Mama Wang to learn the rules.

Mother Zhang saw it and said nothing.But he said in his heart, he didn't expect that this Wang family would be virtuous no matter where he went, and the maids in the mansion secretly gave her the nickname of 'cold face woman', which is really appropriate!

The three-day raid passed quickly.After breakfast on the third day, Mama Zhang and Mama Wang were ready to give their final instructions, because they were leaving for Beijing in the afternoon.

But when they came to the courtyard where Qingmei lived, the maid who guarded the courtyard said: "Miss today went out without having breakfast, but please rest assured, the two mothers, the lady will come back before lunch and will not delay today's schedule of."

Mother Zhang was taken aback: "Miss is out?"

"Yes." The servant girl said.

Ms. Wang snorted coldly, "Every lady went out in a panic without even having breakfast. Ms. Zhang, you have taught me good manners in the past three days." These words stabbed the people beside her.

Mother Zhang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I think Miss must have bid farewell to the old man who has taken care of her for many years. Miss is really born with a heart of respect for the elderly, she is really knowledgeable and reasonable."

Ms. Wang gave her a silent look——Isn't it too early for the young lady to flatter her before she's in front of her?

Although the servant girl who guards the courtyard has been staying in the country Biezhuang and has never seen the intrigue in the mansion, she is astute and feels the struggle between the two old mothers who are not low in status before her, so she tells the truth, "The two mothers... , Miss is indeed going to bid farewell to Doctor Wen, the two mothers can go to the side hall to have some tea first, and wait for a while."

"Then there's no need." Mother Wang said coldly, "Miss returns to Beijing today, I'd better go and see if the horses and luggage are properly arranged."

The little maid stood there awkwardly.Zhang's mother accepted the favor with a smile, "I often hear my wife say that the tea leaves that Biezhuang sends to Beijing every year are the best. I didn't expect to be able to taste it today. Thank you very much."

"Mother Zhang, you don't have to be polite, this is what Steward Cui ordered the servants." After finishing speaking, the maids took Mama Zhang to the side hall to wait.

In the bamboo garden, Doctor Wen was playing chess with Master Huang. Qingmei arrived half an hour ago, but she just stood quietly by the side, not daring to disturb her.

Black and white staggered on the chessboard, and Doctor Wen narrowly won in the end.Both of them knew that Qingmei came here to bid farewell, and the two old gentlemen liked this little girl who was always quiet.Maybe it's because the two of them spent decades in the officialdom because of their fame and fortune when they were young, but after retiring to the mountains and forests, they realized the true meaning of tranquility from a little girl.

"Let's go if you want to, why bother with these empty gifts." Master Huang got up and left without even looking at Qingmei.The bookboy Xiao Huang who followed behind him put a letter into Qingmei's hand before leaving, and said in a low voice, "Master specially gave it to you. If you encounter trouble in the future, this letter may help you."

"That old guy is like this, he wants to save face and suffer." Master Wen stroked his beard and laughed.Qingmei looked at the letter in her hand, and slightly raised the corners of her lips—it was true!
"But girl Qingmei, do you know why Master Huang accepted you as a student?"

Qingmei thought, because of her 21-day habit rule!But of course she wouldn't say that, and just said, "Mr. Wen, please speak frankly."

Dr. Wen squinted his eyes, as if he was recalling some very distant events, and he said lightly, "I think that little book boy once told you that Mr. Huang rarely accepts students. But ten years ago, he met A young graduate that he admires a lot."

"Well, later on she got the first prize in high school." Qingmei was very impressed with this person, after all, she could read all the books in Master Huang's study in a month, although most of them were pre-examination surprises, this kind of person is still rare in the world.

"Then did he tell you what happened to the number one scholar?"

Qingmei shook her head.

Doctor Wen sat back on the stone bench and smiled slightly: "He is already under one person and above ten thousand people, and under the official worship prime minister, it can be said that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people!"

My God, I actually taught a ****!The image of Master Huang eating chicken rolls immediately rose in Qingmei's mind.

Qingmei was a little puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with Master accepting me as a student? Could it be... I am very similar to this prime minister?"

Master Wen was twirling his beard, as if he heard a very funny joke from Qingmei, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Like, but not like."

Qingmei shrugged secretly - that was natural, and she couldn't change her gender.

"Like him, you have a quiet temperament. You have always just stood there quietly, and you will not stand out among a group of people."

"..." Qingmei didn't think it was a compliment.Master Wen said that she could accept it, but she said that she should be the prime minister... But then again, if this is the case, how did that brother climb to the position of prime minister?

"But such a person is often the most reassuring." Doctor Wen said leisurely, "It seems that as long as you explain what he did, you can be at ease. He is like that, let everyone pay attention to him, until he officially worships the prime minister At that moment, everyone was taken aback."

Seems like a formidable character.Qingmei suddenly thought of a common saying - A dog that bites does not bark...

"Master should like him very much, that's why he loves Wu Ji Wu?" This is the only possibility that Qing Mei can think of.But Master Wen shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Huang is actually very disappointed in him!"

"Disappointed?" Qingmei was surprised.

Dr. Wen smiled bitterly: "The child has gone farther and farther on the road of power ministers. Since ancient times, few power ministers can die well... Huang Lao once regretted it very much. If he didn't teach him, maybe the child could be a leisurely little boy." Officer, it will return to the countryside after decades. So when he saw you, Qingmei, you are really similar to that child, fortunately you are a girl."

Qing Mei looked at the letter in her hand, "Then this letter... is written by Master to the Prime Minister?"

"Girl, you are going to the capital, although you are going home. But that home, which you ignored for the past seven years and now suddenly recalls you, must have a deep meaning. Intrigue in the mansion is indispensable. This letter is not a last resort. Or don't take it out, and don't be seen."

"What is written in this letter?"

Doctor Wen did not answer, but suddenly laughed, "Huang Yiqiu was born madly in Yizhou. The emperor cannot enter the court three times. A handwritten letter is worth a thousand gold. A letter of recommendation can make an unknown person become a great official in the frontier. But the famous People often die by accident, but no one can always take care of their lives. Misfortune can be relied on by blessings, and blessings can be subdued by misfortunes. Girl, I believe you should put it away, everything depends on your luck."

As a result, Doctor Wen talked for a long time, but still didn't tell Qingmei what was written in the letter.Fortunately, Qingmei is not a person with strong curiosity. Since the master said that it can be disassembled at the critical moment, let's save it for the critical moment.However, in Lin Qingmei's life dictionary, there seems to be no moment that can be called the key.

Before leaving, Qing Mei looked deeply at Dr. Wen who was sitting in the courtyard and placed the herbs, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.Master Huang once said to her, "Life is rare since ancient times at seventy." 'At that time, she didn't listen very carefully, but now her eyes were a little red...

Qingmei has returned to Beijing.

Steward Cui suddenly felt that the other courtyard was empty, he walked to Qingmei's courtyard with his hands behind his back, a few maids were cleaning, and a servant came over with a lock.

Cui Guanjia said: "Don't lock it."

"But..." The servant hesitated, "Miss probably won't come back."

Butler Cui sighed slightly.Yes, that little girl will not come back.Thinking that she also called herself Grandpa, although it was not in line with the etiquette of the big family, but, hey...

"Then I'll lock it." The servant was about to close the door of the big house, but housekeeper Cui said suddenly, "Forget it, I don't need to lock it anymore, just let someone clean it every day."

"Yes." The servant pushed the door open again.

Master Huang still ran to Dr. Wen's bamboo garden every day, and the two old men played chess and drank wine. The days were still the same as before, but without the braised pork from Dongqiao girl and the rice wine poured by Qingmei himself, these days seemed to be the same as before. A little bit less flavor.

On the official road, several carriages advanced slowly.The one in the middle was obviously much bigger, and Qingmei sat in it.Dongqiao and Liangfeng didn't dare to breathe after being scolded by Wang Mama for the past three days, now they managed to get away and stayed by Qingmei's side, both of them looked like they had narrowly escaped death.

Dongqiao directly took out a box of snacks from the small wooden cabinet on the side of the carriage and ate them. Even Liang Feng, who has always had a strong self-control, stuffed a few pieces into his mouth, because they needed food so much to soothe their broken hearts. up.Qingmei didn't care too much, there was still a long way to go to the post station, so she leaned on the soft pillow and slept for a while.
