In terms of how a large family treats people and treats people, it is always hard for ordinary people to make mistakes.
Especially for a family like the Ding family, which prides itself on being a well-educated family, even if they don't like you coming to visit, they will still politely invite you to come in and sit down.
Liu Ji was flattered by Fan Xiucai's experience of how rich people looked down upon the poor.
Thinking about the difficult Mrs. Ding that Qin Yao and Ding Xiang had just said, they suddenly felt that they were judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
Look, this old lady is so kind. She treats country farmers like them, and even sends a steward to politely invite them to sit in the side hall first, saying that the old lady is taking a nap and will wait until the old lady wakes up. Come and call them.
Hot coals and an incense burner were added to the room, and a faint scent of sandalwood filled the room, making it smell good.
He also gave them snacks and tea and asked them to eat as much as they wanted.
The most important thing is that the yard is fragrant. There are all kinds of incense and there is no smell of chicken or horse manure at all.
Liu Ji asked her for another twenty copper coins, then got up and walked towards the hall door.
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, what do you mean?
However, he still whispered sincerely and doubtfully, "This old lady must be able to sleep well. Most of an hour has passed."
After smelling the smell unique to the latrine in the toilet, I felt a little relieved.
It was so big and bright, four or five times bigger than his small house.
Seeing this, the maids hurriedly came up to him and asked if he needed anything. Just tell them that they were here to help him run errands.
How can someone who has read a book still give gifts to slaves like them?
At the moment, it seems that it is just a sinologist in the countryside who is pretending to study, but he still shows his flaws. There is mud under the cotton robe. How can it not make people laugh?
Having done his job as a slave, he did not let the other party find out and feel embarrassed.
On this journey, he finally got to see what a wealthy family is like.
But it was a joke, this man was really handsome, and both the maid and the mother-in-law couldn't help but peek at him frequently.
But he didn't see it. Surprise flashed across the maid's and mother-in-law's faces, and then they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and snickered.
After looking at him for a long time and being noticed by the other party, he greeted the other person with courtesy and asked if he had any orders.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao's face didn't change and she just said "oh".
At this point, after Liu Ji showed his insistence on seeing things, he suddenly changed his attitude, as if if you don't help me, I will rush away regardless. He quietly stuffed ten copper coins into the palm of his mother-in-law's hand, and handed it to her again. Get that soap recipe.
Previously, I was suddenly dazzled by the wealth of the Ding family and felt dizzy. It's time to wake up now.
When he asked the question, he saw the old woman looking at him with a strange look, and explained with a little embarrassment: "This is the latrine where people in the house use the toilet. Sir, please invite me. The old slave is waiting for you."
Liu Ji politely refused at first, saying that he had something good to give to the old lady, so he would show his sincerity by delivering it himself.
The mother-in-law couldn't read, so she only knew that it was a piece of paper with important contents. She was afraid that Liu Jizhen would rush out regardless and make a big fuss. With a cold expression on her face, she took her things and left the side hall first to help him. Send this thing.
As a result, after drinking a pot of tea, the old lady still didn't wake up, but he couldn't hold back his urgency to urinate.
After cleaning his hands and following his mother-in-law back, Liu Ji did not dare to speak easily. He just looked at everything around him and was surprised several times by the wealth of the Ding family.
The maid suddenly became anxious. Seeing that she couldn't calm herself down, the mother-in-law hurriedly came forward and gave various explanations. Anyway, Liu Ji was not allowed to go to the old lady by herself.
Liu Jichong gave the two of them a polite hug before sitting down on the round stool with an embroidered cover.
The maid and the mother-in-law looked at each other, and the mother-in-law stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Master, please come this way."
"If you don't like these dirty things, let me do it." Liu Ji smiled sarcastically. He knew his position. How could a wicked woman bring him with her for no reason? Naturally, there is a place where he should be used.
A maid and a woman stood in the corner of the room, ready for instructions. From time to time, they would smile at them and look at them to see if they had any instructions.
Unlike their house, which cannot be papered, the windows have two layers, the inner one is the window lattice, and the outer layer is a whole board. To prevent wind and rain, you have to put down the board. No light can come in at all. It is rainy and snowy. The room is always dark.
This kind of magnanimity makes him look like a small family. Liu Ji felt depressed for a while and thought about it, he should eat and drink.
Just said oh! Liu Ji stared, isn't this worthy of shock for a village woman like you?
Seeing his unbalanced expression, Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle, "I've had enough of this tea, how about you?"
The old lady stopped in front of a room with the Aquarius Gate. Liu Jihu asked: "Which young master's room is this?"
Liu Ji took her hand, placed five coins one by one in her palm, closed her palm again, let go of her hand, smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, sister."
Looking at Qin Yao several times, I found that she was as calm as a mountain while drinking tea, as if she didn't care about the opinions of others at all.
The large courtyard and the small garden alone were larger than his entire home. The ground was paved with bluestone slabs and cobblestone patterns.
The original intention is to make one more person who is as ignorant as myself show a surprised expression.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "Can you do it?"
However, he didn't return a penny of the copper he got, so he put it into his purse with a secret smile.
But Liu Ji gradually realized that the maid serving in this room was a little strange.
The wooden building was all painted with dark paint, and the window lattice was covered with paper. The light penetrated in and the room was illuminated brightly.
Liu Ji spoke to Qin Yao, and followed his mother-in-law slowly out of the side hall.
After saying this, he, who has always been keen in observing words and expressions, also realized that the old lady of the Ding family was not as kind and polite as he thought.
Liu Ji felt a "bang" of fire burning on his face. He hurriedly picked up his robe and entered the room which was four or five times larger than his room.
Qin Yao gave him a rare smile of satisfaction, and then handed Liu Ji a soap recipe she had copied in her arms.
The maid stared at Liu Ji with her two round eyes. Liu Ji noticed that when he looked back, the light from outside happened to shine on his face. His overly outstanding appearance made the maid shake her head, and she hurriedly reacted. Lower your eyes.
Returning to the side hall, Liu Ji looked embarrassed when he met Qin Yao's glance. After the woman and the maid hid in a corner, she stretched her neck and whispered to Qin Yao, saying how luxurious the toilets in this house were. etc.
“Excuse me, where is the toilet?” Liu Ji asked the two waiters sheepishly.
Liu Jichong stretched out his hand to Qin Yao, "Give me the recipe."
Just then he turned around, and Shi Shiran stood behind his wife, holding his hands behind his back and waiting.
Qin Yao just looked at him like this and put down five cents.
However, the maid, who had only stood in the corner watching their jokes, suddenly became sensible and came forward to pour a cup of tea for the couple and told them that the old lady woke up at this time every day and would see people immediately.
