The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 9
Hey... Aunt Qiao laughed when she saw Xiao Mingzhu's happiness, but when she thought of Mrs. Xu's attitude, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.The old lady said that the girl grew up in Xin'an City, she had a wild temper, and she needed to be restrained, so she was detained in the room every day to embroider and practice calligraphy. The girl has done her best to meet the requirements of the old lady. I can't bear to give the girl a smile.She felt so distressed just looking at it, so she took this opportunity to come out to offer incense, to help the girl distract the people around her, and let her go out for a walk to relax.

But connivance is connivance, and you must persuade when you should.

Aunt Qiao helped Xiao Mingzhu sit down on the chair. She knelt down and replaced Xiao Mingzhu's muddy shoes. She persuaded her, "Girl, this capital is not as good as Xin'an. You are old enough to discuss the marriage." Now that I'm old, I can no longer go out casually. It would be bad if someone looks at me."

"Yes." Xiao Mingzhu agreed.

Aunt Qiao handed the embroidered shoes she had replaced to Zhichun: "Be careful when washing, don't be watched by others."

"Go back to the house and wash it." Xiao Mingzhu hastily called Zhichun to stop, she didn't figure out what harm 008 would do right now, so she was worried about letting Zhichun leave her presence.

Zhichun took the embroidered shoes, found a piece of cloth to wrap the dirty shoes, and hid them in a corner. "At night, the servants will go to wash secretly, so that no one will find out."

Xiao Mingzhu still wanted to stop her, but when she heard the noise coming from the yard outside, Zhichun went to the door to take a look, turned back and whispered: "Girl, the old lady is back, and it seems there is another guest."

"Guest?" Xiao Mingzhu didn't pay much attention, but Aunt Qiao accelerated her speed of tidying her clothes.

After a while, the little girl Juan'er, whom Mrs. Xu gave her, whispered outside the door: "Girl..."

Aunt Qiao glanced at Zhichun. Zhichun opened the curtain and went out, letting Juan'er in. Juan'er knelt down and said plainly: "The old lady of the Lu family is here. The old lady asked the girl to go over and see her."

Hearing this, Xiao Mingzhu stiffened. Aunt Qiao gently patted the back of her hand twice, gave her a comforting look, and turned her head. Aunt Qiao's eyes were a little red.Every time she saw a guest, the old lady would be cold towards the girl for several days. Especially yesterday, after meeting Mrs. Wang and the third and fifth girls, the old lady looked at the girl with as cold and disgusting a look as she could. The girl was terrified.

Pretending to be inadvertent, she turned her head and blinked twice quickly to hide the moisture in the corners of her eyes. Then she quickly went through the list of people with the surname Lu who were related to Mrs. Xu in her mind, and then filtered out one or five of them. It was determined that Mrs. Lu was Mrs. Xu’s old friend and the mother of Concubine Xian.

Seeing that Xiao Mingzhu and Aunt Qiao were both silent, Juan'er paused and whispered: "If grandma said there is no rush, the girl can freshen up first."

For example, Mammy is an old man beside the old lady, and she understands the old lady's thoughts best. It must be the old lady's meaning when she reminds the girl to wash up.

Aunt Qiao knew what was in her mind, she pulled Xiao Mingzhu to sit by the window, let her hair go to comb her again, and said nothing idle: "It is said that the old lady and this old lady Lu had a relationship when they were in the boudoir. Okay, I just heard that the girl has returned to Beijing, and I want to see you, if there is nothing else, I will go with the girl."

Xiao Mingzhu also knew that this matter was unavoidable, so she took a deep breath, straightened her back, and responded, "Yes."

Xiao Mingzhu changed into a honey-colored jacket that was probably new, and she wore a lotus-colored satin skirt.She only wears a butterfly hairpin on her head, and a small pink silk flower is inserted on her temple.Regardless of her strong objection, Mother An asked her to wear a pair of pink pearl earrings the size of rice grains.

The guest courtyard of Falin Temple is not big, just a small courtyard. The old lady lived in the main room, and Xiao Mingzhu lived in the west wing.

Seeing Xiao Mingzhu coming, the little girl standing at the door of the main room opened the curtain and reported inside: "Old madam, the girl is here."

"No, here we come." Mrs. Xu's voice came out with a smile.

Xiao Mingzhu entered the door, and in the hall of the main room, she saw her grandmother chatting with a sharp-eyed old lady who was wearing a rosin-colored shirt embroidered with longevity patterns, with a forehead inlaid with a big emerald on her head.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't dare to look any further, she bowed her head and said, "I've seen grandma."

Mrs. Lu was stunned when she saw Xiao Mingzhu. Although she had just learned from her old friend that the old miracle doctor had taken good care of the little girl's body, this was very different from what she had imagined.

She had seen Xiao Mingzhu when she was just born, a small ball like a cat, even crying very weakly, the imperial physicians concluded that it was due to insufficient womb, and she must not live past her first birthday.

She originally thought that although Xiao Mingzhu grew up smoothly in Xin'an for many years, she should be a delicate and weak girl. She was a little weak, but unexpectedly, standing in front of her was a little girl exuding healthy sunshine.

It seems that the old miracle doctor's medical skills are truly well-deserved, and they can simply transform a person's body.

"Sister Ming, show respect to Mrs. Lu." Mrs. Xu was all smiles, very satisfied with Xiao Mingzhu's tact.

Xiao Mingzhu also blessed Mrs. Lu: "Mingzhu has met Mrs. Lu."

"Come here and let me take a closer look." Mrs. Lu smiled and waved to Xiao Mingzhu. Xiao Mingzhu saw her grandmother tilting her head slightly and had to take two steps closer.

Mrs. Lu took Xiao Mingzhu's hand and looked at it carefully.Xiao Mingzhu's facial features have grown, but in terms of appearance, she can only say that she is okay among the ladies of noble families.But her brows were frowning with a heroic spirit that is rare for ordinary women, and her pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were big and bright, as if they had been washed, black and white were distinct.She has a vigor that ordinary boudoir girls don't have, and she also exudes self-confidence and an unstoppable pride, as bright as the rising sun.This little bit of unusualness can directly compare with those ladies from noble families in Kyoto who are almost like a mold.

Such a little girl is afraid that she will be able to attract those young princes and buddies in Kyoto with just one glance.After all, no matter how rare and beautiful the red peonies in the garden are, it’s just that if you look at them for a long time. Suddenly there is a magnolia in the peony garden, which will definitely become an eye-catching place.

It's just... Even if this girl's body has been adjusted, her fate is a little bit worse after all. She lost her mother at birth and grew up with her father in Xin'an, otherwise it would be suitable for her grandson.

Pity……

Mrs. Lu thought so, and turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "Sister Ming seems to be a lovely person, well-behaved, steady, and generous."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu put down most of her worries, and looked at Xiao Mingzhu with a little more affection: "You know Huaien loves her, and you are worried that she has no rules in Xin'an, so please She asked Aunt Qiao who came from the palace to be her nurturing aunt." When saying this, Mrs. Xu also looked at Aunt Qiao specifically.
