Chapter 66
Machinery
Mrs. Zheng waved to Li Qiu Sui, "Sui Sui, come and sit next to my aunt. Tell me, what is missing in the yard? Are the green screens and green bamboos serving you to the best of your ability?"
Li Qiu Sui called her aunt, bowed and sat down next to Mrs. Zheng as she was told, "...there is no shortage. Thanks to Cuiping and the others, they are all good."
When I met Mrs. Zheng before, her attitude was not intimate, but rather friendly. Their relationship was normal for them to get along like this.
The monthly silver and cosmetics are all based on Miss Zheng's, and I try to be as impartial as possible.
To be honest, Li Qiusui didn't think anything was inappropriate.
It just didn't feel so...deliberate to her.
Yes, that’s intentional!
I'm afraid she won't feel the same way.
Is it because of Doctor Yang?
"As long as the service is good, I also explained that the maidservants will come to the door in the morning and let you pick two more if they see suitable ones. You should be like Sister Yuan and Eryan, with two big maids and four maids.
Waiting for the maid, and eight little maids, the house is full of family members like Cuiyin, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it smoothly, but fortunately it's not too late to wait for the grandmother to come, this time my aunt has all been provided for you."
Mrs. Zheng talked a lot. At first glance, her words didn't sound like much, but after careful consideration, her intention to make a confession was obvious.
Cuizhu and Cuiping were originally from Zheng Ying's yard. After following her, Mrs. Zheng asked if she wanted to recruit a few more people to live in other people's homes. There was no need for such ostentation, but Li Qiusui refused.
After that, the topic was dropped. Later, when the Guo family gave away the house, they realized that the people on hand were not enough, so they thought of adding more people.
Mrs. Zheng should know the ins and outs of the whole thing. To explain herself like this... what happened?
It has something to do with Doctor Yang!
Li Qiusui nodded in agreement and did not say anything disrespectful, "...I'll just follow my aunt's arrangements."
Mrs. Zheng then talked about the apprenticeship, "How can such a very important matter be taken lightly? Your parents are not here, so I, as your aunt, have full authority to make the decision for you! In this way, in three days, we will get serious
Prepare six gifts. Doctor Yang asked your uncle to tell you that we will give all the gifts."
My uncle was talking about Mr. Zheng, whom Li Qiu Sui had never met before. I heard that he had been sent by the emperor to be responsible for repairing rivers in surrounding cities. He would be able to return to Zheng's house in three to five days.
"It's too troublesome. A toast of tea as the master intended would be considered a complete courtesy." Li Qiu Sui was startled.
I thought it would only take half a day to go to Lijiacun to pick up my parents, but Mrs. Zheng was very enthusiastic and wanted to help with the management, so she pretended not to remember this.
It stands to reason that the fact that Divine Doctor Yang made a special trip from the capital to come here proves that the relationship between the Zheng and Yang families is very good, and she does not need to rely on her to maintain the relationship.
Li Qiusui was puzzled. Something flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldn't catch it no matter how hard he tried.
Over there, Mrs. Zheng was still nagging, "Why are you bothering me? My aunt is so happy! When you grow up and become successful, don't forget to come back to visit your aunt."
Li Qiusui smiled and said, "Aunt makes fun of people."
If you are confused about the topic, just pretend that you don’t understand the deeper meaning of what they are saying!
Suddenly, Mrs. Zheng wanted to invest in her and sell her well!
I think this reason is a bit far-fetched.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he remembered Li Zhenzhen of Li Guangping's family. Their family was also trying every possible means to sell their home.
He talks small talk to others and repeatedly wants his family to accept their family's favor, including when Li Zhenzhen comes to him with the intention of selling her favor.
Li Qiusui's thoughts changed rapidly, his face remained calm, and he was still smiling while chatting with Mrs. Zheng.
In the peripheral vision, sisters Zheng Yuan and Zheng Yan also had smiles on their faces, but their eyes were a little wandering, and they were obviously in a different state of mind.
They were also surprised by Mrs. Zheng's excessive enthusiasm.
Mrs. Zheng, "You are promising, my aunt is blessed, and she will be blessed in the future!"
"My aunt is naturally blessed. My second cousin is smart, smart, elegant, and behaves well. My fifth cousin is smart, lively, and sincere. I don't need to say more about my cousin Ying. No matter how nice I can say about him, I can't say too much.
"
As soon as Li Qiusui's words came out, Mrs. Zheng was obviously taken aback. Her children were outstanding, and they deserved the Master's praise.
That's not what she meant!
Mrs. Zheng forced a smile on her face, "Then you don't want to go outside when you live in the house. If you have nothing to do, you can play with your two cousins. Your second cousin has nothing to say in his studies. There are some words that he doesn't know, and he can't understand them.
For vocabulary, you are right to find her on time. Your fifth cousin is a simple person and is good at painting and embroidery. The gentleman who teaches embroidery will assign you homework, so you ask your fifth cousin to help you."
Next, Li Qiu Sui kept praising Zheng Yuan, Zheng Yan, or Zheng Ying, or the flowers and plants of the Zheng family, but never directed the conversation towards himself.
Mrs. Zheng was also helpless. This girl was very slippery and could really talk. She refused to let anyone take advantage of her words. She seemed to be on guard.
That's all, I just want to do this to have an extra layer of protection in the future. Who knew that at such a young age, I would be so defensive.
Take a look at the thoughtful second daughter, and then look at the lost little daughter.
Mrs. Zheng sighed and said, "...that's the thing. I'm not in a hurry to go to school tomorrow morning. Grandma Ya will bring someone to the door. I'll come here first every year. Sister Yan and Sister Yuan will also come over to help grow the eyes."
After walking out of Mrs. Zheng's yard and separated from Zheng Yuan, Li Qiusui breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived in his own yard.
She didn't mind being friends with the Zheng Yan sisters. If Li Zhenzhen said that the Zheng family would be in bad luck in the future, she would always keep it in mind. Within her ability, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.
When did the incident happen? Li Zhenzhen saw her and ran away without saying a few words. She still had to find out if she had the chance.
Whether she admits it or not, she is more or less involved with the Zheng family.
Something happened to the Zheng family, and it was so big that even a small person like Li Zhenzhen knew about it.
She had read through the laws of this dynasty. With a family like the Zheng family, the imperial court could order the family to be confiscated and exterminated, which would be a serious crime.
Crimes such as collaborating with the enemy, betraying the country, and treason may even involve relatives.
Her current relationship with the Zheng family is not enough to be implicated, but it would be troublesome for someone to bring it up.
As long as the Zheng family either commits the crime of collaborating with the enemy or treason, or treason, Li Qiusui is not surprised. The emperor takes turns, who wouldn't want to be the emperor!
It's just that at the moment, the imperial court is still doing its job, the people's livelihood is peaceful, not to mention peace in the world, there is obviously a prosperous situation.
Did you go to rebel because you were full?
If you are so stupid, you will not be innocent if your clan is exterminated.
Li Qiusui guessed that there was something inside.
It was said that the old man of the Zheng family worked in the Ministry of Etiquette in the capital. The servants at home couldn't tell him exactly what official position he held, and Li Qiu Sui didn't bother to find out before.
Mr. Zheng was also on duty in the capital before. His father's official position was too high. Generally, for the sake of his son's future, avoiding suspicion was a necessary means. It was best for his son to be released abroad, which was regarded as gilding.
