When Liu Gu saw the maid coming, he said to Tan Cuiying: "Sister, I can't enter the back house, so you can just follow the maid. Today I have to go to the military camp outside the city to report. If anything happens to my sister, I will send someone to deliver a message to the military camp outside the city. .”
Tan Cuiying loves this new younger brother very much. Although she has not officially become a sworn brother, she already regards Liu Gu as her younger brother. She even thought that if the business was really successful, she would come and redeem Liu Gu's body. Then she would officially recognize her as sister and brother, so that she would have someone to rely on when she gets old in the future!
However, this kind of thing requires careful planning, so she said softly: "Don't worry, brother, I will look for you when my sister finishes the work!"
After the two said goodbye, Tan Cuiying followed the maid to the flower hall of the back house. The maid brought tea and snacks and said: "Dear guest, my lady's shopkeeper is here to ask her for advice. It will take some time."
Tan Cuiying knew that Miss Zhang was involved in worldly affairs in the capital! This matter is also widely spread in the capital! Many people say that Jingshi Bank is in the hands of a woman, Si Chen! But some people say that Jingshi Bank was originally a business of the Liu family, and it will also be controlled by the Liu family in the future. That Miss Zhang just mastered it in advance. Some people even know the actual situation, which is that Uncle Gu Ning’s house has a weak foundation and no one can use it!
But no matter what, everyone in the capital knows that although Miss Zhang has not married into the Wu Ningbo Mansion, she is already the head lady of the Wu Ningbo Mansion! As the head of an Earl's Mansion, she is naturally busy every day. What's more, Wu Ningbo himself is busy all day long, so the family business naturally falls into the hands of Miss Zhang, which makes it even more busy! So it is possible to be delayed for a while and not be able to receive people!
So Tan Cuiying rewarded the maid and waited in the living room. After the maid left, she naturally had to report it, and the news reached Cai Luan. Unexpectedly, Cai Luan regarded her aunt's position as a taboo, so she was naturally full of anger at Tan Cuiying's arrival! Although he and she can't do anything else, she can still do it with a little eye drops!
So she directly ordered: "Miss is very busy today, how can I have time to see her! Didn't we clear out a cross-yard a few days ago, just put it in! It won't be too late to see her tomorrow when Miss is free! Call a few more rough Let the mother-in-law guard the door tightly, lest she break the rules when she first arrives!"
It should be noted that these servants are very good at looking at the scenery! The maid knew from Cai Luan's tone that the first confrontation between the main wife and her aunt was about to begin!
And I don’t know if this aunt will be favored in the future. At the moment, Miss Zhang must be the most popular with the master, so she naturally agreed in a hurry.
Then the maid ordered people to open the courtyard and went to the flower hall. After meeting, the maid said: "Miss is meeting guests now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to distract herself for a while. Why don't you go directly to the cross-yard to rest for a while."
Tan Cuiying didn't take it seriously, because this kind of thing was common in the back house. After all, waiting for a long time is a kind of torture for people. Moreover, when the host was having a banquet, those who were too drunk or too tired would be placed in the guest room to repair, so they followed the maids directly into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the two of them discovered that the things in the courtyard were all pink. Looking at the rules, they were all items used by the concubine, and the items were all newly purchased. After Xiaozhu recognized the item, he praised it and said, "Miss, the young lady from this family is really virtuous. She has even decorated her aunt's room before she even gets married!"
Xiaozhu is a fool, but Tan Cuiying is not! She was born in an official family and was familiar with etiquette, and because she often visited high-ranking families, she knew the rules in the back house very well!
There is definitely a back house across the courtyard for entertaining guests, but you will never put people in your aunt's house, even if the aunt hasn't accepted them yet! Because this was extremely disrespectful and even humiliating to the guests, she immediately felt that something was wrong!
She immediately said to Xiaozhu: "Something seems to be wrong, follow me out of the yard immediately!
Although Xiaozhu was confused, he always convinced the lady and immediately followed Tan Cuiying out. As a result, what Tan Cuiying was most worried about appeared! When she walked into the courtyard, she found two rough ladies standing at the door. Seeing that they were about to go out, she stopped them! One of the women said, "Where do you want to go, girl?" This is Bo
Mansion, you didn’t know the rules when you first entered the mansion, how could you dare to break in! 「
Tan Cuiying said hurriedly: "I'm afraid this sister-in-law has made a mistake. The slave family is here to visit Miss Zhang and is a guest!" It was my sister-in-law who informed Miss Zhang that the slave family had something important to see! "
However, the old lady took Cai Luan's orders and tried to curry favor with her, but refused to listen to her. She just insisted on persuading her to go back to her room to rest. She also said, "My lady is very busy today. I will definitely see you when she has some free time!"
As a result, Tan Cuiying's many explanations were ignored. She even took Xiaozhu to break out, but how could the two mentally retarded women compete with two rough women? These women were used to doing menial jobs, and their strength was frightening. As a result, they were locked up directly in the cross-yard.
When the matter reached this stage, if Cai Luan reported the matter to Miss Zhang now, there might be a chance to ease the situation. However, Cai Luan was angry that the position she had always longed for was actually taken by an outsider, so she decided to give her a chance first. Show off your power. So he didn't report it to Miss Zhang for two days in a row. And it just so happened that Miss Zhang was very busy these past two days, and she didn't care about matters at home, so the last opportunity was missed in vain!
Tan Cuiying and her husband were naturally anxious as they were trapped across the hospital, but Kang Miao and Xie Jiaoniang also felt as if the sky had fallen!
When Tan Cuiying just left, the two of them didn't think too much, because they came to buy a shop, and it wasn't that they didn't want to pay, they just wanted to remember to get on Miss Zhang's line to make it easier! After all, it is inconvenient for a woman to go out to do things. If she has an acquaintance, she might be able to save some money!
But as they waited slowly and no one came back, the two of them became more and more worried! This concern was at its peak just before the curfew!
Before resting, Xie Jiaoniang said with a glimmer of hope: "Maybe Sister Tan and Miss Zhang had a very happy conversation, so they stayed tonight!"
Kang Miao didn't say anything when she heard this, but she felt that something must have happened! Because if Tan Cuiying really wanted to stay overnight, she would definitely send someone to spread the news. But so far, not even a ghost has been seen! And she also knew why Tan Cuiying said that she had given guidance to Miss Zhang, but it was just a group of girls playing together. Tan Cuiying took money to accompany her, and she might have given some guidance, so it was impossible to have any pleasant conversation. thing!
