Bad Lady Reborn to be Sweet - Chapter 682
“Sister, here are all the things you told me to prepare.” Red Xiao has always been very careful, even if she was accepted by Du Qiaoyun as a sister, she still treats Du Qiaoyun as the master, and does not slack off.
Du Qiaoyun is at ease with Hongxiao’s work. She has ordered to prepare this gift for a long time. Many of them are picked by her. The gift is not very valuable, but it is absolutely not light.
Although Du Qiaoyun doesn’t mean to curry favor with Li Shangshu’s family, they can’t be underestimated. Even though Xie Zhifeng and Du Qiaoyun are not from a famous family, Xie Zhifeng is a newly rich man in the army. They are going to be prosperous soon, and they can’t be inferior to each other.
She went to Li Shangshu’s house out of courtesy. She didn’t come to visit.
Du Qiaoyun heard the ceremony is ready, nodded, “Uncle Lu, knock on the door.”
Uncle Lu was found by Xie Zhifeng after cui’e’s family disappeared. Xie Zhifeng didn’t say where the family was going, and Du Qiaoyun wouldn’t ask. She knew that Xie Zhifeng was right in everything she did.
The newly found uncle Lu is much better than the previous coachman. At least he is respectful to her. Although Du Qiaoyun doesn’t know martial arts, almost all the people around her are martial arts masters. Naturally, she has some eyesight. She can see that uncle Lu is very good, at least much better than the previous coachman.
Uncle Lu knocks on the door to explain his intention. The people in Li’s house immediately welcome Du Qiaoyun and them to serve tea.
“Mrs. Laoxie, wait a moment. The old slave has already been invited. My young lady will be here in a moment.” The housekeeper of the Li family was very polite.
“Thank you, housekeeper.” Du Qiaoyun’s attitude is also very polite. He winks at Hong Xiao and asks her to reward him. Li’s housekeeper doesn’t accept the reward. Instead, he steps back and says to Du Qiaoyun, “Madam Xie, you’re welcome. These are all small things that should be done.”
Li’s housekeeper respectfully saluted Du Qiaoyun before turning to leave.
Regardless of personal preferences, Shangshu mansion has a long history of officials. The housekeeper’s way of dealing with people is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. At least the servants they find in the emerging family like Xie family can’t compare with others.
Although Du Qiaoyun is envious, she will not feel inferior. As long as she and Xie Zhifeng manage well, their Xie family may not be able to become such a famous family as the Li family in the future.
“It’s really impolite to ask Mrs. Xie to wait a long time. Please don’t take it amiss!” Li Dashao’s wife came quickly and was very polite to Du Qiaoyun.
It is the young lady of Li’s family who entertains the guests. She is not the wife of Shangshu, the mother of the family. Du Qiaoyun is not surprised at all.
Because of her relationship with Mrs. Zhao, it’s strange that Mrs. Zhao’s family can be polite to her. On the contrary, it’s normal to neglect her now. However, the attitude of Mrs. Li is surprisingly polite.
“You’re welcome, young lady. I’ve just arrived. It’s my faux pas to say that I came here to be an uninvited guest without posting in advance. Don’t be surprised, young lady.” Du Qiaoyun will not be impolite if others are polite.
Seeing that Du Qiaoyun didn’t get angry, she was still very kind and didn’t take her mother-in-law’s neglect to heart. Mrs. Li Shao breathed a sigh of relief and showed a little favor to Du Qiaoyun.
Today’s thing is that their Li family is losing money. Du Qiaoyun’s family background is not high, and Xie Zhifeng is just a fourth grade official. Her father-in-law is a first grade secretary. A civil servant’s first grade is several grades higher than a military officer’s fourth grade. Her mother-in-law is a lady of secretary. Naturally, she can ignore the other party.
But everyone knows that Xie Zhifeng, the fourth grade official, is only temporary. He came to Beijing this time to be rewarded. He went deep into the army to defeat the Western barbarian army. How much credit is it?
Xie Zhifeng’s promotion is certain. If the emperor is generous, it’s not a problem how many levels he will be promoted. When the other party is in the ascendant, it’s too late for others to flatter him. Although there’s no need to flatter him, there’s no need to offend him.
Her mother-in-law is used to being noble. She thinks that her family is still in the favor of the emperor like that of the former Emperor, but she doesn’t want to fight against her grandfather. Since her grandfather refused the former Emperor to go out to play against the Zuo family, her family has long been a loyal confidant in the eyes of the former Emperor and the present emperor. Otherwise, how could her father-in-law find a mistake today, from the Minister of household to the Minister of rites Can we compare the etiquette of individual management?
Her mother-in-law couldn’t see the situation clearly at all. She had to give Xie Zhifeng’s wife, who was destined to have an unlimited future, a lower hand and send her a little Hanlin lady to receive them. This was just humiliating each other and offending others.
Fortunately, the other party wants to live at home for a period of time. During this period, she tries to be nice to the other party, hoping to make up for it.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of Mrs. Li Shao, Du Qiaoyun never planned to live in the Li family from the beginning to the end.
