The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters
Chapter 32 Sincerity is the eternal killer move
Zhao Mianmian did not find an opportunity to kowtow later.
After Lord Zhang left, Madam He asked someone to call all the brothers and sisters and the female relatives in the family to the front hall to greet Zhao Mianmian one by one.
Unlike the Zhao family, the He family is a truly well-organized family.
Although Madam He only gave birth to one son and one daughter in her life, and all the other illegitimate sons in the family had married and moved out, the people who remained in the He Mansion still made Zhao Mianmian dizzy and she couldn't remember who was who.
"Come, Sister Mian, this is your aunt." Old Madam He took Zhao Mianmian and started introducing her starting with Qin Shuyu.
Qin Shuyu wore a white silk shirt with a gold-painted floral edging and a plain sash around her waist with a round cloud-patterned bracelet on it, which matched the twined jade comb in her hair, making her look dignified, amiable, calm and elegant.
But the audience in the live broadcast room's eyes lit up and started chattering.
[Oh my god, this is what a lady from an ancient family should be like! Look at what they are portraying in those TV dramas!]
[Tsk tsk, judging from the host's aunt's appearance, her family background must be good. Host, you have to curry favor with your aunt, be a little sweeter with your words, and be a little smarter with your brain, okay? ]
[Sweet your mouth? Be smarter? How do you want the anchor to be sweeter and smarter? ? ? Should you ask her to say "Come on, call me mommy" or kneel down, hug someone's thigh and say "I kowtow to you"? ? ]
[Hahahaha, the previous part, you're going to make me laugh to death, please don't mention it, the anchor has no face! ]
Everyone discussed Qin Shuyu for a while, but before they could say a few words, he brought up the previous embarrassing incident again, which made Zhao Mianmian very angry. She wished there was a one-click shut-off button to directly kick out these spectators who were just watching the fun and making trouble.
But now she didn't dare to offend her little ancestors, because she... really didn't know how to greet Qin Shuyu! !
Zhao Mianmian: [Quick, quick, quick, teach me! How do I salute? ! ]
Seeing the anxious pink barrage floating over, the live broadcast room burst into laughter again.
In the end, it was the folklore professor who spoke up and saved Zhao Mianmian's life.
[Anchor, it seems that your dynasty has to perform the "Wanfu Ceremony". So, you put your hands in the middle of your chest, make fists, and lower your right fist slightly above your left fist, bend your knees slightly, and say "Wanfu, aunt."]
Zhao Mianmian hurriedly did as he was told.
Seeing this, Qin Shuyu hurried forward, gave Zhao Mianmian a fake support, said, "Sister Mian, there's no need to be so polite," and said a few polite words, which was considered to have passed her test.
After paying respects to Qin Shuyu, several brothers and sisters from the He family followed.
Since He Jianxing and Qin Shuyu were not young either, the legitimate sons and daughters were all older than Zhao Mianmian.
The eldest brother, He Shiqian, is already nineteen years old this year. He passed the palace examination early and became a civil or military officer, and was sent to take up a post in another place.
The second son, He Shiyun, was only sixteen years old. He had no interest in studying and liked to travel around, which often made He Jianxing angry.
He Jianxing and Qin Shuyu tried to control him at first, but later they couldn't control him anymore so they just let him do whatever he wanted. After all, he was born in the He family, so even if he didn't do anything serious in his life, his family would be able to support him.
The third child is a girl named He Xulan. She is fourteen years old and looks very much like Qin Shuyu. Even her personality is similar to Qin Shuyu's, quiet and peaceful. She looks very well-educated.
The fourth child was born later, only five years older than Zhao Mianmian. He was lively and active. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes would wander over to Zhao Mianmian.
Of course, He Jianxing also has several concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters.
However, according to Tianying's rules, the concubines of wealthy families were not considered proper masters, and their status was not higher than that of the servants who served them. They only had slightly better food, clothing and other expenses.
Therefore, the illegitimate sons and daughters born to concubines are no better than those born to the principal wife. They all look submissive and cautious.
Since He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing were still on duty, they hurriedly met Zhao Mianmian and went to the government office. He Shiqian and He Shiyun were not at home either. The only people who really needed Zhao Mianmian to meet were Qin Shuyu, He Xulan and He Shiyi.
As He Yunniang's only daughter and cousin, Zhao Mianmian is also half the master of the He family.
After she had paid her respects to Qin Shuyu and the other two, it was the turn of He Jianxing's concubines and illegitimate children to pay their respects to her.
Zhao Mianmian didn't understand the rules of this wealthy family and dared not move at all. She could only follow the instructions of the folklore professor in the live broadcast room and act like a living puppet.
Fortunately, neither Madam He nor Qin Shuyu were harsh people, and no one cared about the horrible "etiquette" performed by Zhao Mianmian.
Only He Shiyi hid in the dark. When no one was around, he ran out and poked the two little tufts of hair on Zhao Mianmian's head, and complained without restraint:
"Hey, don't you have a home of your own? Why are you living in our house?!"
As soon as He Shiyi said this, Zhao Mianmian's whole body trembled, and the whole air was stagnant for a moment.
Qin Shuyu knew his son best. When he saw He Shiyi approaching Zhao Mianmian, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that he was in trouble.
Before she could quickly pull He Shiyi away, she heard the words "Don't you have a home of your own? Why are you living in our house?"
[Good boy, this is a really good question! Yes, the anchor doesn’t have her own home, so why does she want to live in someone else’s house? ]
[Hahaha, why is the host not talking? ? Is he confused by the question? ? ]
[Oh my god, this little brat is really good. He asked a question and hit the nail on the head.]
[Hehe, the host's cousin is already seven or eight years old. People in ancient times matured early. How could he not know why the host moved into the He family? Asking such a question to a three-year-old child in front of the He family, was it really not instructed by an adult? ! ]
[Ah, no way, didn’t you see that the host’s aunt’s face turned green? It doesn’t look like she is deliberately causing trouble! ]
[Tsk tsk, you are still young, you don't know what it means to know a person's face but not his heart. ]
The entire live broadcast room was embarrassed for Zhao Mianmian. Even Qin Shuyu's face was red and white. She wished she could hang her son up and beat him.
Only Zhao Mianmian tilted her head, looked at He Shiyi with a confused face, and said heartlessly:
"Yeah, how do you know?"
He Shiyi:?
Qin Shuyu: ???
Barrage: [? ? ? ? ]
"Dad is dead, mom is dead, and grandpa is dead too."
"My uncles and aunts in the clan wanted to drive me out of the Zhao family, so they threw me into the mountains outside the city to feed the wolves. It was with great difficulty that I finally returned to the old house in Xuchuan."
"In fact, I can live in the old house, but Mother Fang said that I am a girl and cannot keep the house, so she asked me to come to the capital."
"If your house can't be occupied, I can go back to Xuchuan now."
died.
Drive them out and feed them to the wolves.
She is a girl and cannot guard the house.
Every word Zhao Mianmian said was like a needle, piercing Madam He's heart.
And these needles finally gathered together and turned into a stick that was used to hit He Shiyi on the butt.
The audience in the live broadcast room listened to the howling of the little brother of the He family and sighed on the barrage:
[Sure enough, sincerity is the ultimate weapon! ]
