As the new butler, Zhui Feng immediately ordered people to prepare seats for the two uninvited guests.
The moment she saw Jiang Ziqiu, Lin Qingxue's face immediately turned red.
Madam Xie was also extremely happy. One was a young Junye, the Eldest Princess 'only Di son, and the other was the favorite grandson of the Marshal's Residence's Old Marshal.
Although Lin Qingxue's ultimate goal was the Crown Prince, it wasn't wrong to choose two.
"We naturally welcome the arrival of the two young masters." Madam Xie hurriedly smiled.”
Then, he gave Lin Qingxue a look, indicating for her to perform well.
In comparison, Lin Qingxue had always been confident. Her outstanding looks could attract so many young masters.
As for that ugly Qinghan, no matter how sharp her mouth was, she was definitely inferior to him when it came to the ways of the world.
Old Master Lin looked at his two daughters and asked,"If the Bai family and the Wu family are both mourning at the same time, which family should we go to?"”
Lin Qinghan didn't answer, so Lin Qingxue thought she couldn't answer and proudly said,"Daddy, I'll go first."
Chu Heng laughed coldly in his heart. She was just a pretty face. Those who didn't know how to answer first would be at a disadvantage unless they were outstanding.
Madam Xie frowned slightly. This child was too impatient.
Then, he heard Lin Qingxue say," Father, these two families have a relationship. If something happens at the same time, no matter which family you go to, you will offend the other. It is better to be polite to the person. That way, you won't offend anyone."”
Old Master Lin nodded. Madam Xie was also very satisfied with her daughter's answer.
Old Master Lin looked at Lin Qinghan and said,"Your sister has already answered. Tell me your opinion.”
Lin Qinghan then said," Father, how can a person be perfect? A funeral is a big event. Although gifts have to be sent, it seems that neither family has offended the other two families. In fact, both families have been offended."”
Everyone thought about it carefully. That was indeed the case. As an important official of the imperial court, no one lacked such a small gift money. Although he did not say it, he remembered it in his heart.
Old Master Lin had never thought much of it in the past. Now that he heard his daughter say so, he took it seriously.
"Since we've offended each other, Qinghan, what do you think we should do?”
"Actually, there are many methods that depend on flexibility. Only when the ceremony is done properly can it be deeply engraved in the heart. This funeral is about the auspicious time. Everyone's Fengshui cemetery is different, and the time of death is different.”
Hearing this, Old Master Lin and the others understood. If it wasn't for Qinghan, no one would have thought so much.
Lin Qinghan continued," You can bring the gift money to the shop that is closer to the time first. After you finish, you can go to the shop that is closer to the time. Although it's a little rushed, we won't offend either of them."”
"Good, to think that a girl like you can think of so many things and actually think of the time.”
Old Master Lin was not stingy with his praise. He sighed again. It was a pity that his child was a girl.
"Father, it's important to be flexible. There are still walls that can be flipped over in this dead end.”After Lin Qinghan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue's face was black with anger. Even if she tried to pretend, she still felt embarrassed.
The corners of Chu Heng's mouth curled up. This girl was really clever!
The high-ranking official was interested." Then let me ask you again. If a second-grade official and a first-grade official have a happy occasion, how should they give gifts?"”
This time, Lin Qingxue learned her lesson and looked at Lin Qinghan,"Sister, you go first this time!"
Lin Qinghan smiled and replied,"Sister, sister is from Jinling. I have never seen an official who is afraid of being laughed at if he says something wrong.”
Hearing Lin Qinghan's words, Lin Qingxue felt much better.
"Forget it. Since you don't understand, why don't you listen to me?”
Lin Qingxue directly took over the conversation. This time, Xie Shi was completely anxious. Why was this child so impatient?
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Qingxue had already spoken.
"Father, since they are all officials of the court, the gifts naturally cannot be light, lest others see them as a joke. Giving heavy gifts is enough to give face to those high officials, and also to earn a reputation of being generous and friendly.”
When Old Master Lin heard this, he frowned slightly.
"Do you think what sister said makes sense?"”
Lin Qinghan knew that if he were to mention the matter of the officials giving gifts now, Madam Xie would definitely not let him go. After all, he was the one who said that he had never seen a high-ranking official before.
She thought to herself for a moment, then smiled and said,"Father, I don't know if what sister said makes sense, but my grandfather taught Qinghan something in Jinling.
If you don't hide your wealth, it will cause disputes and trouble. If ten rich people give you a generous gift on your birthday, then the people won't be able to give you enough.
In this case, his aunt said to divide the gifts according to their relationship level.”
"What a good way to say that there is no trouble and no chaos. Xia girl, what you said is very good. Whether it's Jinling or the capital, the etiquette is the same. It depends on how you differentiate.”
Old Master Lin stood up and felt happy." Alright, I'm tired. Lin Ruomu, Lin Ruoshu, please entertain the two guests well. I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave!"”
Madam Xie hurriedly sent Old Master Lin back to the study in the backyard. Before she left, she instructed the Zhang family to keep an eye on him.
Lin Qinghan looked meaningfully at the new butler, Zhui Feng, who was greeting everyone, his eyes clearly showing his displeasure.
Zhui Feng felt his scalp go numb from Lin Qinghan's stare. Did this Fifth Miss recognize him? This was not right. He had been hiding in the dark and no one should have recognized him.
Lin Qinghan snorted at Zhui Feng and walked straight to his Xiao Xiang Restaurant.
Seeing that Qinghan was about to leave, Jiang Ziqiu immediately jumped up,"You little country bumpkin, don't you know how to entertain guests?”
Lin Qinghan looked back at Jiang Ziqiu and snapped,"Aren't my two brothers here?"
Lin Ruomu put on a face, obviously not welcoming him.""I heard that little sister knows how to make medicinal dishes. Big brother will go to little sister's place for dinner. Let's go together.”
Medicinal cuisine?
What was that thing? Chu Heng and Jiang Ziqiu both had a question mark in their minds at the same time.
Lin Ruoshu was very polite." The two of you, the guest's father asked me to entertain you. Please follow me to the front hall to have some tea."”
Jiang Ziqiu didn't care so much and asked directly,""What's medicinal cuisine?"
Lin Ruoshu shook her head." I don't know either. It seems to be a food that my sister developed."”
Jiang Ziqiu looked at his pretentious appearance and was angry. She couldn't stand it and said,"Alright, stop pretending. Who doesn't know what kind of person you are? Is there any point in pretending to be cultured?”
The corner of Lin Ruoshu's mouth twitched." It's fine if you don't want to pretend. The two of you, hurry up and get back to where you came from. I'm too lazy to serve you."”
" Hehe…" Jiang Ziqiu laughed."Is this how you treat your guests? Your mother has really spoiled you. Isn't she afraid of offending the two of us by chasing you away?”
" Hmph!" Lin Ruoshu snorted coldly." You all know manners. This is the first time I've seen you visiting an elder empty-handed."”
Jiang Ziqiu and Chu Heng subconsciously looked at their hands. There was indeed nothing.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Lin Qingxue quickly said,"Brother, the two young masters are honored guests. How can you treat them like this?”
