Chapter 27 027
Explaining to the concierge that they were here to apply for the job, Qingxi and his mother walked in smoothly. When they walked to the center of the courtyard, a brisk and melodious piano sound came out on the second floor. Lin Wanyin stopped slightly and looked at her daughter with a smile. Qingxi knew that her mother was taking the exam for her, so she said helplessly: "Drunk fishing, I look down on me so much."
She studied piano by her mother since she was six years old, so how could she not even hear the famous song "Drunk Fishing Singing Evening"?
In the hall on the first floor, there were five women wearing cheongsams sitting on the sofa. The youngest one was probably in their early twenties, and the oldest one was a gray-haired 50-year-old lady with a serious expression. There was still room on the sofa, and Qingxi and her mother occupied the corner. Not long after, the sound of the piano on the upstairs stopped, and the applicant went down the stairs and replaced the next one.
Lin Wanyin sat quietly with her eyes down, not knowing whether she was enjoying the piano sounds of the people in front of her or brewing emotions, Qingxi was outside and was in a relaxed mood. After listening to several songs of "Drunk Fishing Singing Evening" played by different people in succession, Qingxi felt that her mother was among the best, and the only one with gray haired old lady was slightly better than her mother's kung fu.
When it was my mother's turn, Qingxi handed her a look of encouragement.
Lin Wanyin smiled at her daughter, but when she followed the maid upstairs, she felt a little worried. She had no experience in tutoring, and only the piano skills she was proud of, but the appearance of the old man ruined her pitiful confidence.
"Please come in." The maid stopped at the door and pushed open the study door.
Lin Wanyin exhaled softly. After all, he was from a young lady in the official family. He was nervous. When he entered the door, he was generous and gentle, and he could not make any mistakes. He quickly and naturally glanced at the study. The first thing Lin Wanyin saw was a little girl sitting next to the guqin, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a white gauze skirt, very beautiful.
Next to the mahogany desk beside the window, there was a man in a gray suit leaning on the back of the chair comfortably. He was reading the newspaper, his face hidden behind the newspaper.
Maybe it's the girl's father or brother?
Lin Wanyin withdrew her gaze in time and looked at the girl blankly, not knowing what to do next.
"The test question is "Drunk Fishing Singing Evening", sister, can you play it?" The girl in white dress looked at her curiously, her voice sweet.
Lin Wanyin blushed, nodded first to show that she could play, and then explained uncomfortably: "My eldest daughter is already fifteen. If the lady wants to, call me aunt."
Han Ying covered her small mouth, her big eyes were full of surprise, and she didn't believe that the beauty opposite was that big.
The girl was innocent and cute, which relieved Lin Wanyin's nervousness. She walked to Han Ying and asked, "Can you start?"
Han Ying nodded and sat obediently beside her.
Lin Wanyin sat in front of the guqin and looked at the girl next to her. She felt like she was tutoring her daughters at home. After trying the next sound, Lin Wanyin abandoned all her distractions and started playing with all her concentration.
The sound of the piano is long and the cheongsam woman playing the piano is beautiful. Han Ying holds her chin and is mesmerized in listening and watching.
On the other side of the desk, the man reading the newspaper slightly moved the newspaper like he had just observed other teachers, swept his daughter's silly face, and then fell on the face of the woman playing the piano. The plain cheongsam with green leaves on the white background and elegant eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as magnolia, Han Rong looked for a while before he put the newspaper again.
After playing the song, Lin Wanyin looked at Han Ying.
"Auntie here, my dad wants to ask you something." Han Ying happily pulled the female teacher to the desk.
Lin Wanyin stopped at the desk and waited silently.
"The piano skills are good. Which lady have you taught?" Han Rong asked to the newspaper.
Lin Wanyin told the truth: "This is my first time applying for a job. I have only taught two daughters at home before."
"What age is the daughter?"
"The eldest daughter is fifteen, and the second daughter is nine years old."
"What profession is your husband? Why did you ask a woman to go out and make a living?"
Lin Wanyin's face turned pale and she whispered: "He is a chef and passed away last month."
Han Rong was silent and said, "Go down and wait for the news."
Lin Wanyin bowed and turned around and left.
As soon as the study door was closed, Han Ying ran to her father, pulled the newspaper from her father and said, "Dad, I want her to be my teacher!"
Han Rong frowned: "The former one had better piano skills, and he taught many ladies from a wealthy family."
Han Ying pouted: "But I don't like her. She looks very serious at first glance. The aunt just now is very beautiful and looks very gentle."
Han Rong once again objected: "Strict teachers produce good disciples, you choose teachers, not nanny." Beautiful women are prone to bad intentions. With such a family background, many women have been entangled and seduced before and after marriage. Three years ago, his wife died of illness, and more women tried to climb his bed. Han Rong didn't want his daughter's family teacher to get involved, which would affect his daughter's education.
"I want her. If you don't agree, I won't eat!" Han Ying turned over angrily, holding her chest with her hands.
Han Rong had a headache.
Han Ying looked back and saw that her father was still tense, she squatted down, used the second threat after the hunger strike, and pretended to cry.
Han Rong knew that if he didn't agree, his daughter would call her mother.
It's all his habits.
"Okay, just her, let's ask Li Ma to come in."
After his wish was fulfilled, Han Ying immediately ran out like a bird.
Li's mother pushed the door and came in. After listening to the master's instructions, she went downstairs to pass the message. When the other applicants left, Li's mother said to Lin Wanyin with a blank expression: "The master said that you will be given 40 yuan a month, but you must concentrate on teaching the lady and not talk to the master on his own initiative. If you dare to say something, you will deduct five yuan. If you deduct three times a month, you will be dismissed."
Lin Wanyin was stunned. Qingxi turned her head to look at her mother. The mother looked at each other. What is the rule?
"How is it, are you willing?" Li Ma asked impatiently.
Lin Wanyin hurriedly said, "I'm willing." She came to teach the lady, but she didn't want to talk to any master.
After making an appointment to start teaching on Monday, Lin Wanyin led her daughter out.
On the way home, the mother and the mother were reluctant to discuss the employer's strange rules. After hearing this, the coachman laughed and said, "You two don't know Mr. Han? That's the president of Jiangsheng Bank, the richest man in our Hangzhou. I heard that every time he checks in a hotel in a place, the beautiful waiters in the hotel try every means... Anyway, Mr. Han is not afraid of having no money, but is afraid of women getting entangled, so he sets such rules."
Lin Wanyin understood, but when she thought of Mr. Han who always used newspapers to block her face and never looked at her at all. In other words, no matter who applied for the job in the end, she had nothing to care about. Instead, she felt that she had taken advantage of it and got a "hush money" that the Han family didn't have to pay for.
"In the future, half of the money my mother earns will be given to your grandmother and half of it." With income, Lin Wanyin pulled her daughter's hand.
Qingxi was just about to let her mother keep it herself, but she thought about her weak temper. If she didn't want it, her mother's wages might be asked for by her grandmother, so she agreed.
"The daughter of the bank president?" When Mrs. Xu learned of her employer's identity, she was shocked and her eyes couldn't help but swept her to her three granddaughters. If the only thing that her daughter-in-law satisfied her was that although she had no son, the girls she gave birth to were very beautiful. Qingxi was the most outstanding, Yuxi and Yunxi were also beautiful.
The boss wants to learn cooking, and I guess I can't find a good marriage, and the other two...
Old Mrs. Xu took the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked Qingxi to take her two sisters down. She explained to her daughter-in-law separately: "Master Han, don't pay attention to it, but you must find a way to get along with Miss Han. After a long time, you can introduce Yuxi and Miss Han to know each other. They are similar in age and can be friends."
Lin Wanyin has a soft temperament, but she is not stupid. She understands what her mother-in-law means at first hearing.
She disagreed, but she didn't dare to refuse directly. She said in a complicated mood: "I'll try it, I'm afraid that others will not look down on us."
"Whether you can see it depends on whether you work hard enough." Old Mrs. Xu's tone became cold and glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Who am I doing for? Yuxi has been married for at least six or seven years. Don't worry, I was buried at that time and I can't enjoy the blessing of my grandson-in-law. Forget it, you gave birth to Yuxi, and it's up to you if you are not."
After saying that, Old Mrs. Xu waved her hand to drive her daughter-in-law away.
Lin Wanyin returned exhausted.
After all, she is not a person who likes to plot. When she went to Han to teach Qin, Lin Wanyin just teach Qin honestly, and did not covet the president, nor did she want to plan a future for her daughters. Han Ying didn't ask about her daughters, and she would not take the initiative to say it. It was not until the end of September that Lin Wanyin risked the risk of being deducted five yuan for the first time and asked Han Rong to ask the Han servant Li Ma to ask Han Rong for leave on the first day of October for a reason to ask for leave. Her daughter's noodle restaurant was opened and she wanted to go to watch the ceremony.
Li's mother went upstairs to pass the message, and Han Ying asked the teacher in confusion: "Sister Qingxi wants to open a noodle restaurant?"
Lin Wanyin smiled, looking proud of being a mother: "Yes, she has been studying for a month and will open tomorrow."
Han Ying wanted to go and watch the fun: "Can I go?"
Lin Wanyin hesitated.
Han Ying's eyes turned and she ran upstairs with a smile: "I'll ask my father!"
In the end, Han Rong approved Lin Wanyin's leave, but did not allow his daughter to watch the ceremony.
"Why?" Han Ying was very angry.
