Chapter 648 Steward Wen Who Suggests Ideas
“What does Mrs. Qi mean?” Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi’s house in front of her and said in surprise.
“Qu second lady’s matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady’s father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady’s intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady.”
The granny sent by the Duke of Qi’s residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.
The people of the King’s House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King’s House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup.
“His Highness the King of England has already sent someone.” Mrs. Qu wasn’t too happy, the Duke of Qi said that he felt guilty about the shadow girl, then she felt even more guilty, and originally wanted to take advantage of the matter of maturity, to make a good plan for her granddaughter.
I didn’t realize that first it was the Ying Wang Mansion, and now it’s the Duke of Qi’s Mansion.
There was no way she could refuse the Ying Wangfu, nor could she refuse it, but the words of this Qi Guo Gongfu were much more far-fetched.
“I heard that His Royal Highness the King of England is using the formal big makeup clothes, there are two sets of replacement, our dowager lady is to ask your meaning, can we let our house also do such a set?” The Duke of Qi’s wife smiled into a flower, words also said more and more polite, the dowager wife is to refuse, a moment can not refuse.
It was only after a good half a minute that he said, “Since your house is so courteous, I will trouble your house.”
“No trouble, originally is our house should be, Qu fourth miss and our house, that is several generations of friendship, where can say what trouble.” The matron of the Duke of Qi’s mansion smiled and said.
A few more pleasing words were said before leaving the Qu Mansion to go back and reply.
To the Qi Gongfu, granny down from the carriage, anxious to go back to report to Mrs. Qi, only to turn around two intersections, suddenly across the street rushed out of a person, the two almost collided, but fortunately everyone reacted quickly, can stand still.
“What’s going on, walking so fast?” Just got off the carriage of the granny unhappy road, opposite or an acquaintance, in the past the relationship is not bad, but do not have to be polite.
“It’s not much of an emergency, it’s you who’s quite anxious, is something wrong?” The granny who came from the opposite side was surprised and said.
“There’s nothing much, it’s just that I’ve just come back from the Qu Mansion, and I’ve gone to ask something on behalf of the Dowager Lady.” Being asked by the opposite granny, the previous granny also felt that she might have really left in a hurry, and smiled bitterly, “Mrs. Tai asked me to report immediately after I came back, and I left in a hurry.”
“What’s so urgent?”
“It’s not a big deal, Mrs. Tai’s intention is to make a set of dresses for the fourth young lady of Servant Qu’s residence to wear at maturity.” The granny tsked, “I don’t know what’s so good about this Fourth Miss Qu that the Dowager Empress is even more interested in her than her own granddaughter.”
“You can’t say that!” The latter granny pulled her sleeve, the granny in front of her then reacted, looked around and didn’t find anyone else there, before she breathed a sigh of relief, “I won’t talk to you more, I’ll go report to the dowager madam first, the dowager madam is still waiting for me to reply!”
“Then, then you go quickly, don’t walk too fast on the road, it would be bad if you bumped into someone again.” The granny in the back earnestly admonished.
“Okay, thanks a lot.” The granny in front hurriedly answered and left in a hurry.
The back of the granny did not rush, stood there and watched the previous granny go out of sight, before lightly tsked twice, skimmed his mouth and muttered to himself, “It’s really, but it’s just a young lady of the Shijiazhuang family, so attached … to the granddaughter of her own house can’t hurt it! ”
Before the young lady and maturity, the dowager lady can really not on much heart, only let the house needlework room to operate, where there will be guests above the heart.
The granny bent her way to the back door, and after arriving at the back door, and speaking a couple of words to the granny at the back door, there was a knock at the door outside the back door, and the granny guarding the door opened it and led a carriage in.
The granny stood and watched the action for a while, and afterward chatted with one of the maids who came down from the carriage.
It was the maid of Liu Shangshu’s residence, who specially sent some fresh fruit slices over, because it was not much, and did not specially go around to the front door again.
Just come in directly from here, and after unloading the goods, have the Qi Gongfu’s granny find someone to send it to the kitchen.
This kind of thing happens from time to time, and the two families didn’t care too much about it.
Watching the crowd of grannies look like nothing, just stood on the side of the whole scene, and so Liu Shangshu’s maid left, she pinched a bulging purse in the cuffs, mood excellent left.
“Make a set of clothes for the fourth miss of the Qu Mansion? For maturity.” Liu Shangshu’s wife Qi Xiejiao slowly put down the tea in her hands and asked slowly.
There was no one else in the room, only a maid who came to report, her eyes fell slightly, and her eyelids looked especially droopy and somber.
“That’s what it says, it’s the meaning of the dowager lady, and it looks like the dowager lady is extremely attached to it.” The maid continued.
“Attracted?” Mrs. Liu mockingly hooked the corners of her lips, the words were very light, like talking to herself, “What’s the point of being more attentive, she dares to lift the past out!”
The maiden head hung low, a move did not dare to move, since this master is what people, she is a close maid naturally know some, if you let this master suspected, that is death without burial place.
Several maids and grannies in the courtyard disappeared without knowing or realizing it, but it is not that they know too much.
“Go get Steward Wen over here!” Mrs. Liu said.
“Yes!” The maid didn’t dare to say a single word more, and carefully retreated, retreating to the doorway before she managed to turn around.
Wen steward is the steward of the outer court, is Mrs. Liu’s most trusted a steward, heard that early when Mrs. Liu went out, encountered robbers, it is this Wen steward saved Mrs. Liu, Mrs. This is the trust of this Wen steward, their dowry above the store, are by this Wen steward in charge.
Steward Wen came quite quickly, and hearing that Madam was summoned, he hurriedly put down the work in his hands and came over.
He is a thirty-something years old middle-aged man, looking at a few points of elegance, a glance more like a middle-aged scribe, not like the House of the subordinate steward, looking at people also smile mildly, behavior is also extremely behavioral.
It is also rumored that the reason why the steward of the house to the Liu House on the steward, on the one hand, because of Mrs. Liu’s kindness, on the other hand, also because of his own family failed, no choice but to find a place to live, coincidentally encountered Mrs. Liu.
As he was arriving at the courtyard, the maid, after serving tea, retreated and stood waiting outside the door.
This distance is not too far, not too close, you can see the movements in the house, but not necessarily hear the voices talking inside, as long as the voices inside are lighter, she can’t hear them too well from this position.
The ones like her couldn’t hear her clearly, and the ones outside in the yard could hear her even less.
The maid tried not to listen to the words inside, she knew that this Steward Wen not only helped the lady to manage the dowry store, but also often gave her advice.
Now that the Lady had something difficult to solve, of course she had to speak to Steward Wen.
Mrs. Liu’s voice is not high and not low, the maid can hear said the dowager wife of the Duke of Qi’s House, it is that a pile of people criticized for the Qu House of the fourth young lady to help the maturity clothes of the thing.
It’s not like it’s your own granddaughter, so you really don’t have to go that far.
“What does Madam think it means?” After Steward Wen heard Madam Liu’s words, he picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip, raising his eyes to look at Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly and lowered her voice slightly, “Should know something.”
“Definitely.” Steward Man nodded.
“What now?” Mrs. Liu smiled with a cold frown, “You don’t really want to admit it back, do you?”
“Naturally it is impossible, if you want to let, I’m afraid that you will recognize it long ago, before the county princess came back, the subordinate felt so, to now after these days, there is no movement, it can be seen that you don’t dare to do so.” Steward Wen leisurely said, “Madam doesn’t need to worry about this matter.”
“I am not worried about this matter, but it is always not good, that girl is now going to marry King Ying, this … is not good!” Mrs. Liu’s brow wrinkled, this matter is getting more and more difficult to do, originally felt that it was just a little girl who didn’t have a life at any time, Yu could take her life at any time.
She hadn’t expected things to turn this way, and what disturbed her even more was the King of England’s meddling.
“I heard that the King of Ying even made special clothes for her, valuing her that much?” Mrs. Liu’s uneasiness came from King Ying’s Pei Yuanjun, and this one would be beyond their ability to deal with.
“Did the clothes and how? I heard that it is just the meaning of the palace inside, let this King of England to do her do face, after all, this Qu four miss so many years, has been letting people dirt, there is nothing good to say place, really can not take the hand, she did not face, also makes the King of England did not face.”
Steward Wen said in disbelief.
“What does the palace mean?” Mrs. Liu’s willow brows were locked, once things hitched their wagon to the palace, she had to be careful.
“Don’t worry ma’am, that’s all the palace said, and that’s all the King of England commanded, with the King of England’s character, do you think you’ll fall for any woman?” Steward Wen asked rhetorically.
Mrs. Liu thought carefully and nodded, she also secretly viewed the information of this King of England in the past days, this one is not what pity, that year’s first beauty’s end is still how, let alone Qu Mo Ying.
That day far from a glance, long is extremely beautiful, but what kind of beauty of the King of England has not seen, never because of the beauty of the hand soft, more unlikely to be really in love with her, and also so a pair of thin and weak weak look, youthful, as for the previous to go to the House of Qu to see the people, but also a joke.
“Then what … to do now?” Mrs. Liu subconsciously asked, many of her decisions on things came from this Steward Wen.
“If madam can’t rest assured, you can talk to the Prefect, the Prefect’s status is always much higher than this Fourth Miss Qu.” Steward Wen could see that Mrs. Liu was upset and proposed.
“Jingyu …,” said Mrs. Liu, a little perturbed.
“Mrs. think again, if the county gentleman can slightly hands, say no matter this matter … simply do not need Mrs. overhand …” Steward Wen added.
“This is not good right … Jingyu can’t have some stubble.” Mrs. Liu still had hesitation.
“This time, this time!” Steward Wen laughed, his words were quite meaningful …
