Chapter 98: Discussion among Ladies
Qin Qiong was really surprised by the little creature's behavior. Because, even for a modern person like her, once she entered the garden, her eyes were not enough to see, and her ears were not enough to hear.
The one who came to pick them up was the eldest young lady of the Gu family. Qin Qiong thought she might be the wife of the eldest young master of the family. She was very beautiful, her clothes were nice, and her conversation was elegant and humorous.
Holding Mrs. Bai's hand, he kept apologizing, saying that if it weren't for this sudden change in the palace, the two families would not have been able to sit down and talk until today.
When he talked about his difficulties, he was so sincere and moved that he almost cried. Mrs. Bai was immediately won over and said she understood and sympathized with him.
They are almost like becoming sisters.
After entering the inner courtyard, everyone went to the old lady's yard.
Qin Qiong wanted to meet this lady. It was this lady who indirectly killed Doctor Bai and the girl's mother because of the epidemic, and who arranged this marriage.
Qin Qiong had never seen many people who could take advantage of others and still dare to do something bad.
This guy was the one who started the game more than ten years ago. He is amazing!
Qin Qiong was thinking, should he give her some medicine too...
After entering the inner courtyard, performing a round of greetings and exchanging pleasantries, Qin Qiong finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at the old lady.
Sure enough, Qin Qiong was not disappointed. She had the standard charm of Empress Lü and Empress Dowager Cixi. She was old enough and dignified enough, her face was dignified and generous, her eyes were sharp and bright, and the smile at the corner of her mouth made people feel proud after seeing it too many times.
The first one who couldn't stand it was Mrs. Bai. She became timid after just a few words. Especially after receiving several gifts, Mrs. Bai became even more timid. The Gu family is really rich.
Fortunately, Madam Ji was there, otherwise... Qin Qiong felt that the little girl would have lost all her face.
Qin Qiong was a little worried about his little thing. The people in this family were not good people. They had hidden meanings in every word they said. If you were not careful, you would fall into the poison.
We just mentioned that the Ji family is now an imperial merchant, and is considered a well-known family in the capital.
Before Mrs. Ji could even show her humility, the old lady above started talking about her friendship with the Grand Empress Dowager in the palace, and also talked about an interesting incident from the past.
It is said that a royal merchant once brought a very exquisite ornament into the capital. Because of its exquisiteness, the noble ladies in the capital liked it very much. However, it was unexpected that in the Ming Dynasty, such ornaments could only be worn by married women and unmarried ladies were not allowed to wear them.
For a time, the government and the people, the streets and alleys were really...
Needless to say, the fate of that imperial merchant was very serious. Even the minister who introduced the merchant was reported.
Therefore, we must be cautious in business, know when to advance and when to retreat, and abide by the rules.
Later, I will ask Meimei, who came out of the palace, to go to the mansion and explain this matter to the Ji family. The capital is different from the countryside. You can't make any mistakes and you have to be aware of it all the time.
Qin Qiong looked at Doctor Ji sitting there with a smile on his face. He was clearly furious, but he could only thank him with a smile. Really...
Pitiful!
At this time, she saw the little girl frowned slightly. Before Qin Qiong wanted to persuade the little girl, she had already rushed towards the little Loli.
First, the young lady praised the gift that the little girl had sent last time, and then Mrs. Gu mentioned a famous talented woman in Beijing who was not only good at poetry and painting, but also good at embroidery. It just so happened that this young lady was a distant relative of the Gu family.
I thought that we could all get to know each other, so that Miss Qin can live in the capital in the future and will inevitably have interactions with women from various families. It would be great to have this lady's introduction.
Qin Qiong curled his lips, but saw that the little girl had already stood up and thanked him.
What a loser! she thought to herself.
"It's great to meet a sister like this. I'm just afraid that some sister will think I'm clumsy. My embroidery is not good. My embroiderer's embroidery is good."
"It took me two whole months to embroider that congratulatory picture. If it were an embroiderer from my family, it would only take a month to finish. So, I don't deserve such praise from you, madam. I'm just glad that you like it," the little girl said steadily as she stood up.
Qin Qiong almost laughed out loud.
"In fact, the best part of the painting is the good painting, the brushstrokes are simple, the meaning is accurate, and the colors are even more exquisite. My second brother from the Ji family heard that I wanted to give a gift to the old lady, so he went to ask for it. I heard that this painting was also worth a lot of money. He wanted the old lady to like it. The old lady said she liked it today, so I went back and told my second brother, he will definitely be happy."
After the little girl finished speaking, she sat back down obediently.
Qin Qiong is really...so relieved that my child has made progress!
"As the child said, good embroidery is good embroidery. The most valuable thing is your filial piety, not the embroidery skills."
Mrs. Gu said hurriedly: "By the way, the second young master of the Ji family, is he the one studying in Beijing? I heard that he has some talent in the academy. So when the exam is held next year, he will have to take the exam, right?"
"Yes, our second son is in the academy, but I don't know whether he will pass the exam or not. This child has a good mind and he has the final say in his own affairs. I'm really sorry to make you laugh, Madam."
Mrs. Ji answered quickly, and the smile on her face became much better.
Mrs. Gu, who had been silent, said softly, "Is that so? That's right. Children are treasures in the eyes of their parents. If they have a promising future, we will be happy too."
"But if they just want to imitate the Wei and Jin styles, what can we do? We can only follow them. As long as they don't cause any trouble and are not a playboy, we will be grateful."
"Yes, yes," Mrs. Bai nodded in response.
"That's not necessarily the case. My second brother is ambitious, but he said that if he wants to protect the country and the people, it's not enough to just study."
The little girl took over: "You said that reading a hundred books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles. His ambitions are broad and his demands are high. There are many things I don't understand, but I think he is right."
"I see, so this second young master wants to... well, the Ji family has done a great job for the emperor this time, so I think the rank of this reward will not be low."
Mrs. Gu spoke softly again, but this time she looked at the little girl very attentively.
"Not really. My second elder brother doesn't look down on small officials. My father is the head of a county, and he respects my father very much. He said that it is not easy to be a good official in a small place."
The little girl said seriously: "It's because he knows it's not easy that he feels that he is still far from meeting such requirements. Therefore, he needs to learn more and broaden his cognition, and... I don't remember, anyway, he said that he would become an official, and he must be a good official!"
"Yeah......"
The mouth cannon in the room stopped for three seconds...
"Hearing what Miss Qin said, I think you are well educated. What books have you read at home?" The old lady upstairs finally spoke.
"Madam, they were just some enlightenment books. Later, when we returned to the Qin Mansion, my father said that girls should be sensible, so he hired a female teacher to teach us some of the Four Books, poems, and classics. She also taught us music. But I didn't like music and preferred handicrafts, so my father didn't force me, so I just let it go. It's really embarrassing to talk about it!"
"Have you never read the Women's Training and Women's Rules?" Mrs. Gu interjected.
"Isn't that a must-read for girls? I thought it was unnecessary to mention it."
Qin Qiong then discovered that Madam Ji, Madam Bai, and Rui Niang all had genuine smiles on their faces.
"Really... Since you have read the Book of Songs, then tell me, which one do you like?" The old lady's eyes also had a smile, and she spoke slowly to the little girl.
Now it's a bit like what a grandmother does to her granddaughter.
