Chapter 682 (2/2)
”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.
