Chapter 103 I’m illiterate
Soon, Mother Han, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Zhang were all dragged away by the woman to talk. Xiao Zhen wanted to find an excuse to find a quiet place to stay, but when he thought about having to get along with these people in the future,
, I can’t just drag Han Zi’s legs with nothing, right?
Just as Xiao Zhen was thinking this, a melodious sound of the piano sounded, sometimes melodious and continuous, and sometimes the sound of spring water mingled in the winter. It can be seen that the person who talks about the piano is very good at playing the piano.
The voices of the family members became quieter, and someone said: "If I heard correctly, this sound of the piano should be what Miss Qi was talking about, right?"
"No wonder it sounds so good. The sound of the piano came from the banquet. It seems that Mr. Qi asked Miss Qi to join in the fun." Another person said.
"You have good hearing, and the sound of the piano is exactly what Lian'er played." Mrs. Qi said with a smile, but she glanced at Xiao Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.
"Miss Qi's piano skills are getting better and better. If I remember correctly, Miss Qi is also sixteen, right?"
Mrs. Qi nodded.
"I wonder who is so lucky to marry Miss Qi?"
"Taking a closer look, it seems that there are not many talented people here who are worthy of Miss Qi."
"When it comes to young talents, Master Tongzhi would say he is number one, but no one dares to say he is number two."
For a while, these women began to talk about Miss Qi again.
Xiao Zhen listened with a smile, and would marvel from time to time. If she didn't fit in, it would show that she was a little out of place. After going back and forth, she became familiar with these women.
At this time, a woman asked Xiao Zhen with a smile: "Mrs. Tongzhi, you will live in the county government office with Mr. Tongzhi from now on, right?"
Xiao Zhen smiled and nodded.
"That's great," the woman said happily, "I can invite you out to play more often in the future."
Zhang, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and said dissatisfiedly to Han's mother: "Mom, will the third brother and sister always live in the county town from now on?"
Mother Han's face was not very good either. Her son became a fellow scholar, which was also a glorious thing for his family, but what did Xiao Zhen mean? If these women knew that they couldn't read a single Chinese character, how would they think of Ziran?
"Then I also want to live in the county town." Ms. Zhang felt even more dissatisfied.
"The old lady doesn't look very good, what's wrong?" Madam Qi, who was sitting aside and talking to other women, had been paying attention to this side with her peripheral vision. When she saw Mother Han acting like this, she turned around and asked.
Mother Han smiled hurriedly: "It's nothing."
"The old lady is really a blessed person. Not to mention Mr. Tongzhi, the other two young masters are also extremely outstanding. I heard that you taught them literacy and etiquette from childhood, so they can grow up to be so outstanding. And your
I heard that these three daughters-in-law are all scholarly queens." Mrs. Qi said with a smile.
"Madam praised me."
"I heard from my elders," Mrs. Qi looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile: "The father of the Han family's sister-in-law is a scholar and is highly respected in the village, right?"
Hearing what the county magistrate's wife said, Ms. Liu became even more careful about her words and deeds: "My father has been teaching in the countryside since he passed the examination as a scholar."
Mrs. Qi nodded, looked at Mrs. Zhang again, and said with a smile: "I heard that the father of the second sister-in-law of the Han family is a well-known philanthropic person. Every once in a while, he will donate clothes, cloth and porridge. Countless people in our county do.
I have been helped by Zhang Dashan."
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "My father often said that helping others is the foundation of human beings and the foundation of morality."
Mrs. Qi nodded, smiled at Mother Han and said, "I wonder what our Mrs. Tongzhi does at home?"
When Mrs. Qi asked this question, the women around them also came over. Xiao Zhen and Han Mu were not far away, so they naturally heard the question Mrs. Qi asked.
Mother Han's face was slightly stiff, and her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. She took a deep breath and was about to say something when she heard Xiao Zhen's clear and clear voice: "My family used to be ordinary farmers, but now we are
Running an oxcart business."
"Bullock cart business?" The ladies looked at each other.
"I just take people back and forth between the village and the county to make some money." Xiao Zhen said.
"Isn't that the guy who pulls the cart?"
"Does Mrs. Tongzhi know how to read?"
Mrs. Qi took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Zhen, with a faint smile on her lips.
Literary! Maybe she is more literate than the people here, but Xiao Zhen really can’t say this. Everyone who knows her knows that Xiao Zhen has never read a book, so how can she be literate: "Illiterate."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiao Zhen with disgust and murmured softly: "It's so embarrassing. Being with her, I really feel like I've lost all my face."
Mrs. Liu glanced at Mother Han. Mother Han, who had always been calm, had a very stiff expression on her face. She knew that her face could not be any better. In her heart, she blamed Xiao Zhen for causing them such embarrassment, but what could be done?
Mrs. Qi put down her tea cup and said with a surprised look on her face: "Is Mrs. Tongzhi illiterate? Are you kidding us?"
Xiao Zhen looked at the disdain gradually showing on the faces of these ladies, and said lightly: "I am indeed illiterate."
Mother Han closed her eyes and her face became even worse.
How could this person be so shameless? How could he speak so calmly? Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiao Zhen angrily, who did she think she was? Do you care so little about the face of your third brother?
"Madam," at this time, the girl Xiao Xing came over and said, "Your Excellency and Mr. Tongzhi have returned from the government office and are talking to you adults in the outer hall. I see that it is getting late. Isn't it time to serve the food?"
"Then let's serve the food." Mrs. Qi nodded and invited the family members to sit down.
Naturally, Mother Han and Mrs. Qi were sitting at the same table. Just when Xiao Zhen was about to sit down, Mrs. Zhang on the side said coldly: "Xiao Zhen, you should understand the rules at the food table, right?
"
Xiao Zhen glanced at her and said nothing. Unexpectedly, Zhang suddenly pulled her to Mother Han and whispered: "Mom, let Xiao Zhen sit next to you, so as not to embarrass her, and you can still watch her.
"
"Sit down." Mother Han's face was extremely ugly. When she saw Mrs. Qi greeting other women, she said: "When the food is served, you can only eat the bowl in front of you. If you can't do it, you can eat it."
Say you're still full and don't eat. It's a small matter for you to embarrass yourself, but you can't embarrass Ziran's face. Do you understand?"
Although she was unhappy with being said so by Mother Han, Xiao Zhen didn't feel anything to be angry about. She was just not used to this kind of life, which didn't mean she didn't know the etiquette. Although she hadn't practiced the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty one by one, she should know it.
We all know it, but there is no need to argue over anything, so I nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that Xiao Zhen was so obedient, Mrs. Zhang twisted the handkerchief again and again, feeling even more unhappy.
At this time, the maids had brought the dishes one after another. Xiao Zhen saw the excitement of facing the delicious food on the faces of Liu and Zhang. Not only them, but also the elegant family members all had bright eyes.
