When they arrived at the back gate of the county government office, the concierge greeted them and politely led the Mu Tiechui brothers to carry the dishes and then went inside to report.
A maid came out and said with a smile: "Is this Miss Mu? Madam wants to meet you."
Mu Yunhan calmly stuffed some money and said with a smile, "I wonder why Madam summoned me? I want my sister to give me some advice."
The maid said: "Madam, I ate the vegetables that the girl gave me earlier, and I have never forgotten them. Today I saw the pair of strange melons that you gave me, and I felt very happy."
Mu Yunhan knew it in her heart. The pair of strange melons she sent were small and exquisite, green with gold, like a pair of persimmons, with their own fragrance of melon and fruit, and were most suitable for women to play with.
The county magistrate's wife would like it, just as she expected.
Xuanda was not allowed to enter the backyard, so Mu Yunhan went in alone and saw a thin, ordinary-looking woman in her twenties sitting in the shade of a tree enjoying the cool air.
Mu Yunhan stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, madam."
"What a beautiful talent." Mrs. Qiu looked at Mu Yunhan calmly. Previously, she only thought she was an ordinary village girl and she didn't want to see him.
It was when I saw the pair of strange melons and fresh mushrooms that I thought they were very rare, and when I heard Mr. Cui say that these vegetables and fruits were very expensive, and the other party said that he would give them to her for free in the future, I took action.
I was thinking about something new and wanted to meet someone new.
Anyway, I can’t go out during pregnancy, and my morning sickness is severe, so I should take some time to relax.
But I didn't expect that she would turn out to be such a neat, beautiful girl with outstanding temperament and skillful etiquette. Unfortunately, her complexion was sallow, which obscured her beauty.
Mu Yunhan stood neither humble nor arrogant, with a just right smile on his face, letting her look up and down, unmoving.
"Sit down, what's your name?" Mrs. Qiu thought for a moment, thinking that such a person must not be an ordinary village girl. She had to find out her background and wealth, so as not to accidentally offend someone.
"To Madam, the little girl's surname is Mu Yunhan, and she is from Shoushan Town." Mu Yunhan calmly sat down and spoke with a smile.
"What a good name. It looks like he has read books?" Mrs. Qiu's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard the word "Mu", "I wonder if it is related to the Lanjing Mu family?"
Mu Yunhan told the truth: "Our ancestors used to be one family. They have been branching out for many years and there is no contact with them anymore."
"In this way." Mrs. Qiu thought thoughtfully.
A woman came to her ear and whispered a few words. Mrs. Qiu glanced at Mu Yunhan and said with a smile, "You haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat before leaving?"
Mu Yunhan smiled and declined: "I have already used it, so I don't dare to disturb Madam."
Mrs. Qiu was very surprised.
It is also a very honorable thing for a gentry family to have the county magistrate's wife leave a meal, not to mention that Mu Yunhan is just an ordinary vegetable seller and village girl.
Even if she didn't eat, she should have shed tears of gratitude and fear, but she refused calmly.
Mrs. Qiu frowned and did not force it: "In this case, I won't keep you."
Mu Yunhan resigned, and the maid took her to the back door and gave her a box: "This is the lady's thank you gift to the girl."
"Thank you?" Mu Yunhan was surprised. She just wanted to greet people in place so that they could do business in the future.
As long as I have a chance meeting with the county magistrate's wife, I don't intend to rush into making friends with her.
But when someone gave me a thank you gift, I was so polite and polite, which was unexpected.
The maid smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary object. Madam said that it has a affinity with the girl."
They are an ordinary pair of silver-set pearl earrings. They cannot be said to be very expensive, but the design and workmanship are exquisite. (To be continued)
