——

When the Wang family arrived at Huaicheng, it was already two days later.

According to the address given by Yingniang in the letter, the family went all the way to Fang Mansion.

The Fang family is the husband’s family of Ying Niang’s daughter Qiu Yan.

After Qiu Yan's husband, Fang Xinyu, obtained the imperial examination, he was promoted by nobles to the position of general magistrate of Huaizhou, where he was mainly responsible for the management of grain and grass.

The Wang family traveled on the road for two days, and the road was not as good as at home. Their faces were somewhat tired, and although their clothes were clean and tidy, their clothes were somewhat wrinkled because they had been riding in a carriage for so long.

"Mom, please slow down, I'll help you down..."

Jiaojiao and Baoya helped their mother down one by one. Liu Zhihua's legs were a little numb, so she bent down and gave them a beating. She smiled and said with emotion: "Oh, we've finally arrived."

When a large family was walking at the door of Fang Mansion, the servant at the door waved them away.

"Go, go, go, what kind of foreigner doesn't understand the rules? Didn't you see that this is the house of our Huaizhou Tongpan master!"

The smile on Liu Zhihua's face froze, she frowned and shouted: "What are you talking about as a slave? You don't even ask who we are, but you are going to drive people out."

Upon hearing this, the slave in blue robe looked them up and down, and said mockingly: "I have seen many foreigners like you. In order to cling to the Fang family, everyone says they are relatives, so hurry up and leave."

It was a long ride in the car, but when I came across such a thing, Liu Zhihua cursed angrily: "What kind of thing are these slaves in this house?"

Bao Ya immediately stood up and shouted sternly: "Those who look down on others with dog eyes, we are the wife's natal family, why don't we go and report it!"

"I'm just saying that you are liars and still don't admit it. Our wife is an orphan. Her parents have died long ago. Oh, now a mother has appeared, but I haven't heard of any other relatives. If you stay here and don't leave, be careful with me.

Tell someone to kick you out."

As the slave said this, he turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly a long whip was thrown at him.

Snap!

"Ah——"

The slave rolled on the ground, and was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled in the door.

When Wang Zhuangzhi saw the little maid next to Jiaojiao whipping someone, he uttered an ouch and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and whispered: "My dear, just persuade Jianjia to teach her a lesson. We are here to congratulate you, no?"

If you are afraid that it will be difficult for your aunt and Sister Qiu Yan to live in this house."

Jiaojiao then raised her hand and shouted: "Jianjia."

Jian Jia then took back the whip and said to the lady: "Miss, I'm trying to scare him, but I'm not going to be too harsh."

Liu Zhihua and Bao Ya's eyes lit up, they really found a treasure, they were good at serving people and they had a lot of skills.

"Ouch, come quickly! Someone dares to commit murder in front of Fang Mansion."

Along with the noise of the slaves, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a group of servants ran out.

Finally, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out.

The man frowned and looked at the people making trouble at the door. He was a little more discerning than the slaves. He looked at the family in front of him and asked, "I wonder how many of them are there?"

Aunt Hua was afraid of another fight, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "We are the relatives of the lady in the house. These are our boss's wife and two young ladies. Please report them."

When the housekeeper heard this, he remembered that the young lady had sent someone to give him instructions yesterday. He was busy with the full moon banquet today and accidentally forgot to give instructions to his servants.

A smile suddenly appeared on the housekeeper's face, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that I am a relative of the young madam. Sorry, I am the housekeeper of the Fang Mansion. My surname is Yang. Please come in with me."

Liu Zhihua was still a little unhappy because of what happened just now. Seeing that the housekeeper's attitude was better, she followed him into the house with her whole family.

Butler Yang took the people directly to the backyard. Yingniang heard the commotion outside and ran out to take a look, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Zhihua, you are here."

Liu Zhihua saw that Yingniang had tears in her eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look at her and said, "You have lost weight. Why is Yingniang a little haggard?"

Yingniang wiped her tears and smiled gently, "I haven't lost any weight. I have nothing to do all day long. Since you didn't reply, I had a premonition that you were coming, so I couldn't sleep in the past two days."

Wang Zhuangzhi also came over with Jiaojiao and Baoya.

After Yingniang saw it, she hurriedly greeted them and said, "Zhuangzhi has not changed at all. He is much younger than five years ago. Oh, Erya Jiaojiao has grown into a big girl, but she still looks a bit like she was when she was a child.

Very similar."

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled honestly, while Baoya and Jiaojiao smiled and shouted: "Hello, uncle."

Yingniang stepped forward and took their hands, and said with a strange smile: "Oh, okay, you look so good. I haven't seen you two little girls for a long time. I miss you so much."

As she said that, Yingniang looked over again and said, "Hey, Qiu Sheng must have been away from school, so why didn't he see Xiao Li?"

Liu Zhihua explained with a smile: "Xiao Li worshiped a master, and now he is with him in a border town. I haven't seen him for a year."

Ying Niang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she praised with a smile: "Okay, the boy just needs to go out and practice. Xiao Li's body has been strong since he was a child. If he learns martial arts, he will be able to do great things in the future."

Liu Zhihua said with a smile: "People don't know, but he is already as tall as his father, and his body is as strong as a calf."

The housekeeper hurriedly interjected: "Mrs. Ying, since the distinguished guest has been brought here, I will prepare to clean up the guest room."

Ying Niang frowned when she heard this. She had told Qiu Yan a few days ago to go down and prepare the guest room in advance. Why did she do it now?

But in front of Zhihua's family, she couldn't ask any more questions, so she waved her hand and said: "Housekeeper Yang, go quickly. Everything in the guest room must be brand new. You don't need to go to the old lady to apply for the required silver. I

I’ll make it up for you.”

Butler Yang nodded and said, "Yes." Then he left.

Liu Zhihua frowned upon hearing this, and her impression of Fang Mansion became even worse.

Yingniang did not explain too much, but said hello: "Hey, I just said it, you have been tired all the way, go inside and sit down for a while, drink some tea and relax."

The Wang family was brought into the living room, while Uncle De and Aunt Hua Jianjia were stopped by the maid and arranged to go to the side hall on the other side to drink tea and rest.

The servants brought tea and snacks. Ying Niang frowned when she looked at the thick leaf tea and the unsightly mung bean cake.

She couldn't hold it back anymore and said to the maid: "I bought hibiscus cake and osmanthus cake yesterday, and I also prepared a lot of fruits. I'm going to ask the kitchen if they made the wrong order."

The maid looked hesitant and explained in a low voice: "The old lady's family is coming soon. Aunt Lin just took away everything prepared in the kitchen."

Bang.

Yingniang slapped her hand on the table, with a rare angry look on her face, and said angrily: "Her family is important, but my family is not."

The maid lowered her head and said nothing.

Liu Zhihua heard what happened one after another and asked the maid: "How long has it been since I took you away?"
