What does Madame want to talk to me about?
"Madam."Shi Xiaonian walked over and lowered her head to Luo Qi.
"Sit down." Luo Qi continued to cut flowers, and on the table in front of her, there was a pile of vases. She turned to look at Shi Xiaonian, and couldn't help but say, "You're very relaxed."
She couldn't see the regret on Shi Xiaonian's face."Should I be nervous?"
Shi Xiaonian sat down on one side and asked with a smile.
Luo Qi laughed, and said: "It's good to have this bearing, as the future mistress of Gong Jia, you can't not have some self-control."
"I wonder what madam would like to talk about with me?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Three things, I hope you can still relax after hearing it." Luo Qi sat there, scissors in hand, cutting off a flower with a beautiful and pleasant voice.
Three things.Shi Xiaonian sat quietly and waited for her to finish.
The first thing is that the wedding will be held here, Gong Jia would never arrange such a huge event for someone with such a background like you, but we will need to invite all the members of the clan over, and we will also need to have all the etiquette of the sect. Luo Qi slowly said, the sunlight shining on her beautiful face, causing her every move to be as beautiful as a painting.
Shi Xiaonian sat there and nodded, "Alright, I accept."
She had guessed that.
It was impossible for the Gong Jia to admit that they were only given a single certificate. However, being able to not go about all of this was already suitable for her.
In terms of etiquette, whenever Shi Xiaonian thought about those maids who were polite to him, she could not help but shiver.
As Gong Ou's bride, she would probably have to do more etiquette.
"The second thing is, after your marriage, the twins stayed with us to look after them." Luo Qi said.
"…"
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale, and she stood up from her seat."What? Didn't I just praise you for having a bit of temperament now?" Luo Qi stared at the flower vase intently, "Gong Ou is not like a noble in the first place, but when I am with you, I don't seem like a noble anymore. I really don't feel at ease with the children you guys have raised."
"Madam, I take it for granted that the child is taken care of by the parents."
Shi Xiaonian said, she did not expect Gong Ou to come back, and fight for the child.
"The third thing." Luo Qi ignored her and continued, "You must also live here, adapt to the environment of the Gong Jia, and be nurtured by the culture of the nobility until you get married. After a marriage, you will have to stay here for at least four months a year, until you completely wash off the aura of a commoner. Only then, will I believe that you can bring some help to Gong Ou. "
"…"Shi Xiaonian looked at her blankly, her lips moving. She wanted to argue with her, but she didn't know what to say.
Luo Qi's words were reasonable. He did not know that the nobles would have high opinions of themselves, but it was not possible for her to keep on staying in the Gong Jia."What's wrong?" Luo Qi put down the scissors in her hand, raised his head and looked at her, "Do you think I would use this opportunity to mistreat you?"
"…"
"Don't worry, if I really don't like you, I won't agree to your marriage." Luo Qi smiled faintly, stood up from the table and walked to stand in front of her, "Xi Xiaonian, do you know what the only thing you are compatible with is?"
"…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at her silently.
"It is your sincerity towards him. I will not deny this fact after four years." Luo Qi stood in front of her and said, "Honestly speaking, I sometimes wonder if there is still another woman who would sacrifice to such an extent for my son."The best way to waste your youth was to find a person whose life or death was unknown. Maybe a lot of people could find that person for four years, but Shi Xiaonian had never given up after completely not knowing the time limit.
"But you despise me for being a commoner or a virgin."
Shi Xiaonian understood her thoughts."Actually, up until now, I have never treated you with contempt or even with disdain. I only know that I cannot let the wind of the commoners enter my home, or else it will affect Gong Ou and even affect the next generation." "Don't worry, I don't need you to study as much as before. If you stay here for too long, you will naturally receive the best of nurturing."
Shi Xiaonian stood in the pavilion and said, "Madam, you want to assimilate me?"
"I do not need you to have a noble background, but I also do not want the things on you to affect the legacies of each generation in the Gong Jia." Luo Qi said.
Of course.
Shi Xiaonian understood that the condition for her to enter Gong Jia was to become a member of a noble clan with a high and mighty etiquette.
"Gong Ou won't let me stay here for long."
Shi Xiaonian said, she did not want to separate from Gong Ou, she thought, Gong Ou would also not be willing to separate from her."That was before." Luo Qi laughed and said, "In the past, Gong Ou was a person who acted on his own accord. I heard that he changed a lot after he treated your illness, if not you would not have quarreled and broken up, right?"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian finally understood that the Gong Jia knew more than she had imagined.
"That's right, Gong Ou is no longer the same as before." Shi Xiaonian said.
"That's why even Gong Ou's father did not use a hasty method against him. Gong Ou grinded at the edges, so we got along well." Luo Qi said.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, she had no way to refute any of her words.So it turned out that the so-called peace wasn't something that descended from the sky, but rather, everyone could see through it. They only lowered their bottom line by a bit, and that was to be able to accommodate her entry.
"If Gong Ou is willing, then I will grant your wish."
Shi Xiaonian said lightly. It didn't matter if Gong Ou didn't have her to accompany him, she should just be the noble young mistress of Gong Jia.
"It seems your edges have been sharpened." Luo Qi nodded her head in satisfaction, then turned and looked at the servant at the side and said, "I've chosen a few female servants to serve you, and I still have more choices for your butler."
"I don't need it …" Shi Xiaonian blurted out.
Luo Qi swept his gaze across her, forcing her to speak.
"From now on, I will forget your original name. You are the future mistress of the Gong Jia, a noble person should be carefully protected. Do you understand?" Luo Qi said, "Alright, you can go now."
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Yes, Madam."
She turned around and left, followed by a group of maids. She clearly understood what pressure mountain was.
You have to pay the price for falling in love with a man.
Shi Xiaonian didn't even have the time to meet with the twins before entering a hall. maids took turns to introduce herself to her, explaining their division of work.Shi Xiaonian sat on the sofa and forced a smile on her face as she listened to their conversation. After one round, she did not even remember who was called.
"Miss Xi."A standard London accent.
Shi Xiaonian turned her head, only to see a brown haired old man walking over. He had a deep western contours, wearing a proper butler uniform, with white gloves on his hands, and a pair of brown eyes showing a perfect smile.
"Miss Xi, long time no see."
He walked up to her and bent over her.
"Butler Charles." Shi Xiaonian stood up and nodded at him. There was no smile on her face.
Housekeeper Charles.
She had always remembered that it was he who took Gong Yao, who was just born, away, and to this day, she had never competed with Gong Jia for the ownership of this child.
"Miss Xi, I am very sorry about that matter. People have to do whatever they want no matter what position they are in. In the future, I will risk my life to protect Miss Xi." Charles said politely."What?"
What do you mean risking your life to protect her?
Madam ordered, if you do not have a suitable housekeeper, I will be the housekeeper for the Miss Xi. If there is anything that the Miss Xi needs, please send me. " Charles placed his hands on his chest and bowed to her in an extremely respectful manner.
"You are my housekeeper?"
Shi Xiaonian exhaled, the smart Luo Qi, then arranged the butler she had used for dozens of years to his side, seeing the Gong Jia's obvious intention to control her.
Of course, they couldn't control Gong Ou, so it was a good idea to control her now."Yes."
Charles nodded.
Shi Xiaonian laughed bitterly, "OK, whatever."After all, even if it wasn't Charles, there would still be others. Shi Xiaonian looked at the maids before her and said that they were all Gong Jia's spies. In such an environment, she didn't know how much of a nobleman's education she could receive.
But she knew that her stress level would increase with the wedding.
When Gong Ou went back to his room, he saw Shi Xiaonian painting on the side of the easel in front of the window. In his hand was a brush, he drew on the paper hard, and eventually put it back with great effort.
"What's wrong?"
Gong Ou growled.
Shi Xiaonian turned her head to look at him, the gloomy expression on her face immediately disappeared, and changed to a smiling face, then walked towards him."You're not going out for a walk?"
Gong Ou asked.
The scenery of Gong Jia was very rare.
"There's plenty of time, I'm not in a hurry." Shi Xiaonian shrugged.
Gong Ou looked down at her, then said smilingly, "Madam asked me to stay behind to enjoy the Gong Jia's atmosphere, until I became a young mistress from a noble family who can bring me out."
"Yes, I've guessed it."Gong Ou indifferently nodded his head, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Seeing that, Shi Xiaonian knew that it was a very reasonable decision in Gong Ou's eyes, as he had walked out of the place.
Thinking about this, Shi Xiaonian pushed Gong Ou onto the bed.
However, Gong Ou was caught off guard by her move. He fell onto the bed and his black eyes swept over her. Shi Xiaonian immediately jumped onto his lap and reached out her arms to hug her around his neck. A pair of black and white eyes stared straight at him.
"…"Gong Ou's body tensed up, his eyes staring straight at her, "What are you doing?"
"Why is Gong Jue looking for you?" Shi Xiaonian asked."The wedding date is set for one month later. Gong Jia will make all his preparations and will only announce it in the main chamber, so it will not be exposed to the public for the time being. We can talk about it after a few years." Gong Ou said, he lowered his eyes and looked at her, both his hands were placed on the bed, and he leaned his body backwards, allowing Shi Xiaonian to sit on his body again.
