The next day, Xie Yunjin took two of his subordinates to report to the government, while Lu Jiao took the four little guys to sort out the things brought from Qinghe County at home.Uncle Xiao arranged for someone to buy people, and the whole house was a busy scene.Lu Jiao was tidying up things with the four little guys and Feng Zhi Ruanzhu, outside the door, Liu An walked in, she looked at Lu Jiao and said with a smile: "Madam, I want to talk to you about something?"
”Lu Jiao turned around and looked at her.Now Liu An is much more cheerful, no longer as humble and timid as before, and he acts appropriately for others.Lu Jiao nodded with satisfaction, looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
”"Today, I heard Steward Xiao say that there are more people to be added to the backyard, I want to say to my wife, can I go to the kitchen and do things with Aunt Hua, Granny Qiu said that the kitchen is not manpowered, and I need to add two more helpers, I like to cook, so I want to work with Aunt Hua in the kitchen."
Lu Jiao remembered the food that Liu An had cooked before, it was indeed very good, cooking was originally her forte, and in the past, she also washed and cooked at home to serve her own man."
Okay, then you will work with Aunt Hua in the kitchen, and as for your daughter Liu Fu, follow Feng Zhi to do things, and let Feng Zhi teach her to read and write."
Liu Fu is eight years old this year, because he grew up in Xie's house and often follows Feng Zhi, so his actions are very regular, Lu Jiao looks very good, so he intends to let Feng Zhi train her.When Liu An heard this, he immediately responded happily: "Thank you, madam, then I'll be busy." ”Liu An didn't feel that it was bad for him to sell himself, on the contrary, because the adult became an official, his daughter would marry no better than marrying in the countryside in the future, and if he stayed in the countryside, he would probably be sold by the Luo family.Lu Jiao waved her hand, Liu An retreated, Feng Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Liu An is much more active now, not as panicked as in the past. ”"It's good."
Lu Jiao didn't say anything about it, she divided the clothes of the four little guys, and motioned for them to take their clothes, shoes and socks back to their rooms, and didn't let anyone help in the process, only let them do it themselves.Lu Jiao taught the children to have their own set, where the four little guys can do it, they will never allow others to help them do it, even if their family is rich, and the four little guys have a little house, but as long as they can do it, they will do it themselves.The four little ones are used to this kind of education, so they don't think there is anything wrong with doing this, but they do it very consciously."
Got it, mother."
Lu Jiao ignored them anymore and took her and Xie Yunjin's clothes into the room one by one.Lu Jiao was doing something, and Granny Qiu walked in from outside the door with a sticker, and as soon as she came in, she reported: "Madam, the concierge sent a post in, saying that it was sent by the prefect's mansion." ”Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows, turned around and took the post and looked at it, it was indeed sent by the lady of the prefect of Ningzhou, and invited Xie Yunjin to go to the prefect's mansion for a banquet with her.Lu Jiao is not surprised, Xie Yun is going to Ningzhou to take office, as the prefect of Ningzhou, he will definitely hold a banquet to entertain them, but tonight's banquet is afraid that it is not so delicious.Lu Jiao thought about it secretly, and she didn't feel too nervous, the soldiers came to block, the water came to flood, and now Xie Yunjin is a fellow acquaintance of Ningzhou, and he is not the poor Xiucai in the past.At noon, Xie Yunjin came back, Lu Jiao told him about it, and he said: "I met Governor Lin this morning, he has already invited me, and said that he will hold a banquet at the mansion in the evening to entertain me, and let me take you over." ”Lu Jiao nodded, didn't speak again, and Xie Yunjin on one side was afraid that she would suffer, so he took her hand and said, "Be careful at night, don't be fooled." ”Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with a smile and said, "Am I a person who has been deceived?"
”Although she said this, Xie Yunjin was still not at ease, although Jiaojiao was smart, she actually didn't like those intrigue dramas the most, and she was helpless in the officialdom, so he only hoped that she would not be angry."
If there is a situation and someone is sent to inform me, and if the prefect's wife bullies you, don't put up with it."
Lu Jiao listened to Xie Yunjin tell her over and over again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't bear it." ”Now that she is a man with a backing man, what are she afraid of.In the dining room, the four little ones looked at their father and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will protect my mother." ”Lu Jiao immediately said: "Don't go to the four of you tonight, stay at home obediently, we are new to Ningzhou Mansion, and we are not familiar with everywhere, so we can not go out for the time being." ”The four little ones were worried when they heard it: "Then what if someone bullies you?"
”"It's okay, now that your father is an official, we're not afraid of those people."
The four little guys were also relieved when they heard it.In the evening, Xie Yun took Lu Jiao to the mansion of Governor Lin for a banquet.The Lin family's place is about the same size as the Xie family's place, but there are a lot of people in the house, as soon as Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao arrived, there were male and female stewards who came to lead them to the banquet hall, and the male and female guests were separated.Xie Yunjin took Ruan Kai and Lin Dong to the male guests banquet in the front yard, while Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi, Ruan Zhu and Tong Yi to the female guests banquet in the back.Tong Yi was wearing a woman's clothes, which was not inconsistent at all, except for being slightly taller, and the others were really no different from women.When Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu saw him like this, they couldn't help but eat and laugh, and happily looked at him.Tong Yi gritted his teeth and endured it, muttering to himself in his heart that it would be no good for his adult to make a move, and he had to let him disguise himself as a man and follow his wife, what is this called.Lu Jiao ignored the jokes behind her, and followed the Lin family steward all the way to the backyard female guest banquet.This housekeeper is a talker, and she keeps flattering Lu Jiao all the way."
Madame is really young and beautiful, she is Mrs.
Tongzhi at a young age, and her future is limitless.""
My wife has heard about her for a long time, and she has always wanted to meet her, but now I have seen her."
Mrs.
Prefect is in her forties, slightly chubby, with a rich and noble face, and she was surprised to see Lu Jiao's face, because they had received news before, this Mrs.
Tongzhi is from the countryside of Qinghe County, and she is a country woman, although this woman has some ability, I heard that she can also do business, but a woman from a rural country should have the rudeness and ignorance of a countryman, even if she has the ability to do business again, she will have some rudeness in her bones.But now I look at it, this woman is elegant and generous, where is there the rudeness of the countryside, on the contrary, every move of the people is like a noble lady, indescribably reserved and elegant, the prefect's wife is stunned, the beauty of the person and the elegance of the action, the whole person is like a painting.
