Chapter 88

He was unwilling to entrust her with such an important errand, but he just thought about it again. After all, Meng Liya was invited back by Xu Manzhen. If such an important errand was handed over to someone else, he was a little worried that Xu Manzhen would retaliate.

But if she is unable to deal with it herself, and he arranges someone else to take over, she will definitely have nothing to say, and there is nothing she can do if she is not willing.

But it was really beyond his expectation, Xu Manzhen did so neatly in this process.Although there is still a little distance from perfection, this is the first time she has done this. It is the first time she is in charge of such a banquet. She can achieve this level and assign servants in an orderly manner, which is very rare.

When Xu Manzhen was busy running around, Xu Shuzhen was in her piano building, not having anything to do, but secretly hating her.Meng Liya really didn't give herself face. She wrote to invite her, but she was pushy. There was no time, but why did Xu Manzhen invite her, and she agreed immediately?

Is there really such a big difference between a concubine and a concubine?Is it necessary, is it so clearly divided, is it done so absolutely?

However, for the sake of her own marriage, Xu Shuzhen still had no choice but to bite the bullet and ran to Yiyeyuan to find Xu Manzhen, offering to share some of the burden with her.

"But there's nothing important?" Xu Manzhen heard Xu Shuzhen's words, and said very frantically, "Actually, I don't need to do anything, I will assign it to someone else to do it... The only thing I need to do is the invitation card, but Daddy said that I must do it." Let me write it myself." If old man Xu hadn't requested such a request, she would have split it up long ago!

How comfortable it is to be a hands-off shopkeeper!When she was acting as N supporting role at that time, she heard from people in the circle that there was a queen, when she was acting, she would act as a stand-in for the scenes where she didn't show her face. Only when she needed to show her face would she act .

Speaking of these, everyone can only envy this actress.Because only when your career and status reach a certain level, this approach may be accepted by others.

For example, now, when she treats a guest, she must write the invitation herself.She didn't believe it anymore. The last two times the Meng Manor had invited guests, could it be that all the invitations were written by Meng Liya herself?

Speaking of it, his status in the mansion was not as good as that of Meng Liya in the mansion.

When Xu Shuzhen heard Xu Manzhen say this, the expression on her face became a little embarrassed.I kindly wanted to help, but I didn't expect to be told like this.Bai Wei on the side already pursed her lips, looking at Xu Manzhen very unhappy.

The second miss is really too much, the miss is kind enough to help her, but she said this... Do you want the miss to be under her control, just like those in charge?
"Huh, you haven't left yet?" Xu Manzhen wrote a few more invitations, raised her head, and cried out in surprise, "Third Sister, I'm sorry, Second Sister is really too busy to greet you, you Sit down and drink tea by yourself... If you want to eat something else, you can take it yourself." After speaking, she plunged into the business of writing invitations.

Alas, the writing brush is really too difficult to use.Although she is holding a Langhao hard pen in her hand now, this "hardness" is only relative to wool.If compared with the ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and fountain pens of later generations, this pen is still a mess of softness.

"Bai Xin! Bai Xin!" Xu Manzhen accidentally trembled her hand, and as a result, the invitation with only three characters left was spent and could not be used anymore. She was so angry that she swung the Langhao brush in her hand , calling out loudly.

"Miss! Miss, the servant is here!" Bai Xin hurried over, holding a few small plates of snacks in her hand.

"Bring it here, bring it here, I've been writing for so long, I'm already hungry." When Xu Manzhen saw the snack, she quickly brought it over, squeezed a piece into her mouth, and said, "Are there any geese in our house?"

Bai Xin looked at her own lady helplessly, these snacks were prepared for the third lady... Forget it, anyway, the third lady is not a rare visitor, so there is no need to be too polite, so Bai Xin didn't care anymore, just carefully Remember, goose?Are there any geese in the house?
The lady suddenly asked what the goose was doing?

"Miss, it seems there are." Bai Xin was a little uncertain, after all, she didn't usually pay much attention to it.There must be one in Zhuangzi, but the lady is asking about the mansion.

"Second Sister, there is a gatekeeper at the west gate who raised a few geese." Xu Shuzhen said calmly.After being left out in the cold for so long, she didn't even have a trace of resentment on her face. Xu Manzhen was secretly surprised by this kindness.

Sure enough, it is not easy to be a character who can be a heroine.

If you don't know what she is like, you will definitely be deceived by her. Words like kindness, tenderness, innocence, and beauty must be piled on her like money.

"That's great, Bai Xin..." Xu Manzhen was about to tell Bai Xin, but Xu Shuzhen quickly picked up the topic and said, "Second Sister, although Bai Xin is capable, she hasn't been in the mansion for long. The woman who raises geese has a weird temper, and she ignores people she doesn't know."

That's it... Xu Manzhen turned her tongue and called out loudly again: "Jiang Gui..."

She naturally knew the reason why Xu Shuzhen said this, but she just didn't like her.If you want to help, you have to bring it up yourself, otherwise, at that time, there will definitely be rumors in the mansion that the second young lady will give birth to her younger sister to be envoys...

She won't be so stupid as to take such a scapegoat!
Xu Shuzhen originally waited for Xu Manzhen to arrange for herself to do it, but what she didn't expect was that Xu Manzhen completely exceeded her expectations and called Jiang Gui directly.

Could it be that she couldn't see him standing in front of her alone?

"Second sister, there are so many things going on in your yard right now, and everyone is so busy, my sister can do these little things for you." Xu Shuzhen forced a smile on her face and said hypocritically.

"How embarrassing is this?" Xu Manzhen was waiting for this sentence, but she rubbed her hands deliberately and said, "Although you are a concubine, you are still my sister. I just leave it to Jiang Gui and the others. How can I let you go?"

"Second sister, that woman is familiar with me. I don't know what the second sister wants the goose to do, but that woman raises the goose to guard the door. If ordinary people go, I'm afraid that woman will not agree to hand over the goose. For her." Xu Shuzhen said deliberately.

She deliberately emphasized it this way, just to snatch this matter away.As long as she makes a trip like this, what will happen in the mansion... How would she know?She can't control the tongue growing in someone else's mouth.

"That's it... Well, thank you, Third Sister." Xu Manzhen felt a little embarrassed when she heard her say this, and after thinking about it, she had no choice but to agree to Xu Shuzhen's request.

"By the way, second sister, why do you want a goose?" Xu Shuzhen finally remembered to ask such a question.

But Xu Manzhen's answer made her almost fall to the ground.

"You don't need to take the trouble of bringing the goose back... Sanmei, you just need to take a few thick and long tail hairs from the goose." Xu Manzhen said innocently.Seeing that Xu Shuzhen sprained her foot and almost fell when she heard her words, Xu Manzhen suddenly laughed in her heart, who told you not to ask in advance?

The job of plucking a few hairs is still going to be snatched up... I just don't know if she has the face to publicize such a thing, saying that she arranged for her to do it?
Xu Shuzhen's face was livid, her body stiffened, and she moved forward slowly, until she reached the gatekeeper's house, and begged her for a goose feather again.

"Does Third Miss want to do this?" the woman asked very strangely.Sure enough, he is a person with a weird temper, so this must be said quite bluntly.

The door to the west is a side door, which is always very deserted and rarely opened, so this woman's affairs are quite idle.But a leisurely job doesn't mean it's unimportant. If she doesn't see the door well, someone from the house sneaks out or someone from outside the house sneaks in...

That's no small matter.

So the old woman raised a few geese specially.Like dogs, geese can also guard the house, and they are better than dogs.Dogs can be bribed with a few meat buns, but geese are not easy to bribe. The doorkeeper is more serious than dogs. Whenever someone approaches, he will bark loudly and don’t say anything. If anyone dares to ignore its warning , if you have to get close to the courtyard gate without the company of this woman...

Hehe, these geese will run over very fast and waddle, and use their long flat beaks to peck at people with great strength. Wherever they are pecked, there will be redness and swelling. .

So this woman is getting more and more addicted.Because of the existence of these geese, her work has become much easier, so she has not eaten these geese, and has been raising them like this for several years.Now that Miss San said that she wanted to get goose feathers, she was a little unhappy.

"My second sister wanted it." Xu Shuzhen was also very depressed, how did she know what Xu Manzhen wanted?

The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed, she thought and thought, hesitated for a long time, Bai Wei urged her several times unhappy, she called out loudly, and called the goose over, took the opportunity to catch a very big goose, and went to pull it out. its tail feathers.

The big white goose that was half a person tall in the clinker was not very polite to the owner who had fed it for many years. Seeing that the owner wanted to pluck out its beautiful tail feathers, he immediately became upset and pecked at the old woman.

The mother-in-law is holding the goose with one hand and plucking the feathers with the other. How can she be prepared?All of a sudden, he was pecked straight, and cried out in pain.

Xu Shuzhen stood aside, frowning involuntarily.

Is this goose so unruly?Pulling out the root hair, even resisting like this?Even the owner who feeds it doesn't give face?
Although she was pecked hard, the mother-in-law had no choice but to continue, and finally plucked out five thick and long tail feathers and handed them over to Xu Shuzhen.

But the geese are different from ordinary animals, one screamed loudly, and the others followed suit. Although the woman was their owner, she was still pecked many times, and her clothes were probably covered with bruises.

Finally, about ten hairs were removed, and after thinking about it enough, the mother-in-law hurriedly handed it over to Xu Shuzhen, not daring to keep any more in her hands.

Xu Shuzhen took the feathers and was about to leave, but was surprised to find that those geese surrounded her!
What kind of beast is this, so smart?Holding those goose feathers in her hands, Xu Shuzhen suddenly felt like crying.

 I was pecked by a goose when I was a child, and I obviously just passed by that house on the road...

  That was a ferocious animal.In the countryside, not many children have been bitten by dogs, but many have been pecked by geese.

  Seeing through that Xu Shuzhen is going to be pecked by geese, let's reward a few tickets!
