Chapter 299 Magic Battle
Chu Yao looked at her hands in confusion: "What's wrong?"
These hands are very good, a pair of healthy hands, with fair skin and rosy complexion, and clean nails that are neither long nor short. She also hid the big diamond ring that Qin Jiahuai gave her and did not wear it.
I don’t know why Mrs. Liang was so surprised.
Mrs. Liang looked at her angrily: "Your nails are too sharp, they will bring bad luck to your husband! Cut them quickly!"
...That’s it?
I thought it was something really big that made her so excited.
Chu Yao responded casually: "Okay, I'll cut it later."
Mrs. Liang originally wanted to take her to get a haircut right away, but her husband urged her to have dinner.
So Mrs. Liang began to teach her the next step of etiquette.
"Remember, men work outside and women work inside. The placement of these chopsticks is very particular. Facing the door is to welcome wealth, while facing inwards is to attract disaster. They must be placed in parallel and never crossed. Otherwise, it means that the wife is dominating the husband and that order is disrupted."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at the stool at the end of the dining table.
"Your future seat will be over there. Pakho needs to rest recently and can't get up to eat. His seat is vacant, so you can't sit over here. Because younger women have more yin energy, and if you sit too close to the head of the family, it will affect his fortune..."
Chu Yao's mind was full of taking her grandmother and Qin Jiahuai home tonight.
She treated whatever Mrs. Liang said as nonsense and didn't take it to heart at all.
The teaching is finally finished and it’s time to eat.
After a while, Lao Liang had almost finished eating.
He looked through the schedule for today's events and casually asked Mrs. Liang, "Is Professor Zhang sure he can come to the etiquette lecture for the charity event tonight?"
"Of course." Mrs. Liang elegantly picked up a piece of shrimp steamed buns. "Professor Zhang is the vice president of the Rongguo Academy of Chinese Studies. Many of the guests tonight came just for him."
Lao Liang said, "Well, we must keep a close eye on it. We can't let anything go wrong. There are many potential customers among the guests coming tonight..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liang's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Mrs. Liang picked up the phone. It was her assistant calling, "Mrs. Liang, something terrible has happened. Professor Zhang just called and said his flight was canceled. He has no flight back now and will definitely not be able to make it to the dinner tonight!"
"What?!" Mrs. Liang slammed her chopsticks on the table. "The invitations have been sent out! Celebrities from all walks of life will be coming. Now where am I supposed to find an expert in classical etiquette?"
Old Liang's face also turned pale, and he blamed Mrs. Liang: "It's all your fault. You should have contacted Professor Zhang three days ago and stopped him from running around! What should we do now?"
Mrs. Liang said timidly: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
Chu Yao ate slowly and leisurely.
After they contacted everyone and couldn't find a suitable candidate, they slowly said, "Mr. Liang, Mrs. Liang, I actually have a candidate."
The couple looked back at her.
Although they still looked down on her in their hearts, they also knew that she worked in a TV station and that the TV station often interviewed many experts and professors.
Lao Liang asked, "Oh? Who is it?"
"My grandmother." Seeing their disdain, Chu Yao continued, "Listen to me first. My grandmother was the legitimate daughter of a scholarly family in Fengpu during the Ming and Qing dynasties. She was a true lady from a noble family. Her ancestors had three generations of imperial tutors, and her every move and gesture was that of a legitimate daughter!"
The couple looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
In fact, they have long wanted to find such a person to participate in the event, but they have never been able to find one. It is really difficult to find someone who is so eloquent at such an old age.
But the couple still had doubts.
Mrs. Liang asked again, "Is it true?"
Chu Yao nodded and said solemnly: "The old man of the Luan family used to be a security guard at my grandmother's house. If you don't believe me, you can take my grandmother to the nursing home and let the old man of the Luan family testify for my grandmother."
The couple also has a trust that Grandpa Luan made for his grandson, so they are very familiar with Grandpa Luan and visit him in his nursing home every year.
They occasionally encountered many important people visiting Mr. Luan, which showed that he had a distinguished status.
If Grandma Chu Yao's status is more noble than his, then with a little packaging, she will become a cash cow in the future!
After some consideration, Mrs. Liang said, "Look, our two families are already relatives, so I should go visit the old lady and fulfill basic etiquette. Oh, and I haven't visited Old Master Luan for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together."
Chu Yao nodded and smiled: "I'll go with you."
-
When they arrived at the Luan family, the Liang couple first went to explain their purpose to the housekeeper. The housekeeper also had to report to Luan Zhengrong's secretary and wait for him to decide whether to let Grandma Chu Yao go.
Chu Yao took this opportunity to go upstairs and talk to her grandmother.
When she heard she had to pretend to be a "daughter of a wealthy family," grandma started to feel embarrassed: "When I was born, my family had already fallen. How could I pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family? Really, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, how can some people still live in a dream..."
Chu Yao whispered, "Grandma, don't worry. They are all laymen. Most of the people who go there are wives of wealthy businessmen. They are just looking for an excuse to get together and build good relationships."
Grandma leaned back in the recliner, sighed, and looked extremely depressed.
Chu Yao was worried: "Grandma, is this really difficult?"
"I'm not upset about this..." Grandma talked about the really upset things, the three stars and five mana, the blind monk... Anyway, it was just about playing games, and Chu Yao didn't play this game so she wouldn't understand.
Finally, my grandmother summed it up: "Simply put, I became depressed after shoveling."
Chu Yao squatted in front of her grandmother, holding her hand and comforting her: "Grandma, cheer up. When we get back to Fengpu, I'll find some experts to take you out to play..."
"Grandma, I originally thought I'd be freer at their house, not as repressed as the Luan family, but they always use traditional culture to discipline me. Today, they even asked me to sit in the small corner seat, and they said my nails are bad luck for my husband, and they also asked me to get up at four o'clock to cook for the whole family..."
When the grandmother heard her granddaughter being bullied, she was no longer depressed and stood up by slapping the chair handle!
"This is outrageous! When you meet someone like this, you should just use magic to fight them! I'll show them what the real rules are right away!"
