playful peasant girl

Chapter 115 5
"Mrs. Zhang is really lucky. She has raised two such outstanding daughters. I am afraid that other wives will be envious when they see them." Xia Lan's words are sincere.

"It's just that the lintel has not been humiliated," Mrs. Zhang said with a wave of her hand.

Xia Lan also wanted to know what Mrs. Zhang was talking about when she came to Beijing this time. At this moment, she mentioned the lintel. As far as she knew, the Zhangzhou Mansion seemed to come from a poor family, so she asked, "It's a great honor to be able to go with my wife this time. I don't know if I can meet Madam when I come back?"

Mrs. Zhang dealt with the women in the backyard all day long, and she couldn't hear the inquiries in Xia Lan's words, but there was nothing to hide.

"This time I took them back to their natal home to have a look. I stayed in the state capital for the past two years, and I haven't gone back for a long time. I miss them very much." Mrs. Zhang sighed. Her natal home is her pride and the place she remembers the most. .

It turned out that Mrs. Zhang was born in the capital, but she didn't know whose family it was from. Xia Lan was surprised, "It turns out that Madam Zhang is a noble lady from the capital. No wonder Tsing Yi always feels that you exude an air of nobility that is different from ordinary people. I have lived here for a long time. Cornered, eyesight is shallow."

Mrs. Zhang's words were indifferent, but her expression was full of pride, "My father is just a small official secretary, not noble."

After hearing this, Xia Lan sighed secretly about the transfer of officials in charge of the Ministry of Officials. Among the six departments, only the Ministry of War can catch up. He is also a first-rank official. How small is this official position!
Xia Lan's expression turned a bit reverent, it was obvious, "Ma'am, you are so modest, the biggest official I have ever seen is the state capital."

Mrs. Zhang was obviously very satisfied with Xia Lan's words, and said with a smile, "Ms. Qing's mouth is really good at talking, it's sweet and clever, and every sentence speaks to my heart."

After rambling on and on for a long time, Xia Lan never forgot her purpose.

Ask Mrs. Zhang ignorantly like a little girl, "Madam, the rules in the capital must be much stricter than those in the state capital, right?"

Mrs. Zhang was not stingy with explaining her doubts. At the same time, she asked her two daughters to listen to her, and briefly talked with Xia Lan about the rules and important precautions in the capital.

After Xia Lan listened, it was indeed a place where nobles gathered, and there were so many rules. Mrs. Zhang's explanation just gave her a preliminary understanding.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I'll make people laugh when I get to the capital," Xia Lan said with a bitter face.

Mrs. Zhang also found her funny and amused, and comforted her by saying, "Miss Qing is clever, and she is loved by others. If you are careful, there will be no big mistakes."

Xia Lan seemed to be thinking, but then hesitated to speak, "Madam said the same thing, Tsing Yi has something to say, don't know if it should be said or not?"

Seeing her troubled look, Mrs. Zhang also wanted to know what was going on, "There is nothing inappropriate to say, and there are no outsiders."

Xia Lan still hesitated with a bitter face, and stammered, "Let me just say this, I'm afraid Madam will blame me for my talkativeness, don't say it, I'm afraid it will affect Madam badly."

Mrs. Zhang was originally curious, so Xia Lan would say it if she wanted to, and if she didn't want to, at this moment, hearing it would affect her badly, so she thought that Xia Lan must speak out.

"Miss Qing is pure and straightforward by nature, so don't worry, just say what you want," Mrs. Zhang said anxiously, for fear that Xia Lan would make up her mind to hide her words.

It was only then that Xia Lan hesitated to speak out, her voice was very small, but it was able to be heard clearly.

"I don't know if the maid next to the eldest lady was brought by herself or you picked her. She even bullied others by doing things in your house, and forced my little maid to fetch water for her this morning. I shouldn't have said it, but I just heard you said that the rules in the capital are strict, and I'm worried that if something happens to her with her arrogance, it will end up dishonoring your reputation."

Xia Lan's voice became softer and weaker, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
