There are only a few households in the alley, and most of them are closed, making it very quiet.
When they arrived at a courtyard, they saw several people standing at the door. A middle-aged man was whispering to a young woman holding a baby in her arms.
When Zhou Yao passed by, she happened to hear: "... Mr. Su is a very nice person, and Mrs. Su is even more gentle and kind. It is safe to live here..."
There was a little maid, who was two or three years younger than the maid Zhou Yao brought with her. She was timid and could only stand aside and listen quietly.
The woman's face was pale, with a hint of bitterness on her pretty face, and she whispered: "The commander-in-chief is in trouble today. As a husband and wife, I can't pretend not to know. Mr. Jian, I want to go to the execution ground. At least I can collect his body."
…”
The middle-aged man disagreed, and just said: "Madam, I have already arranged this matter. Just stay here with peace of mind..."
Zhou Yao was surprised when she heard only these words when passing by.
"What does this family have to do with Su Ziji?"
But she was only invited by Ye Buhui as a guest, and it was not her responsibility to care or ask. Although she had doubts in her heart, Zhou Yao did not stop and went straight into the courtyard.
"Are you Miss Zhou?" A maid in light green clothes saw someone coming in. She immediately put down her tools to sweep the courtyard and came over with a smile.
Zhou Yao nodded, and she immediately said enthusiastically: "My wife has been waiting for a long time, please come in!"
Another maid came in to report the news.
When Zhou Yao walked straight to the flower hall in the main courtyard, she heard the clear sound of chess pieces falling on the board and the clear sound of a young man reading chess scores from a distance.
The maid who led the way explained in a low voice: "My master has just returned from Fanghou. Maybe he didn't know you were coming."
Zhou Yao then put away her surprise. After all, she came here this time just to respond to Ye Buhui's invitation. It was a bit strange to see the male host here when she arrived.
But just as she was thinking this, the mysterious voice in her heart suddenly chuckled.
Zhou Yao was a little confused. At this time, the reading stopped, and the young couple inside, after hearing the maid's report, stood up together and came out to greet him.
"My wife and I are far away from each other. I hope Miss Zhou is not surprised." Su Ziji was the first to salute her, and then said with a hint of shame: "Miss Zhou, to be honest, I am using my wife's name to invite you this time."
When you come here, actually, I think I want to learn piano."
Ye Buhui was a little embarrassed at the side. This was indeed a scam, so he also apologized.
The mother-in-law who followed Zhou Yao in was a little unhappy at first. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Yao's look.
When she looked away dullly and landed on Mrs. Su, Ye Buhui, her face suddenly became a little strange. She looked at Ye Buhui up and down, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
In fact, Dazheng's men's and women's defense was not strict, and his wife was present, and there were maids and wives following him. Although Zhou Yao was a little surprised when she first heard about it, she still readily agreed.
In this flower hall, Zhou Yao taught Su Ziji the art of piano in front of everyone: "Master Su, the basics of piano art, please let me play a song to demonstrate."
Su Ziji nodded to the other party and walked into the other courtyard, only to find that it was very quiet here.
"Su Huiyuan, my master is not here today because he knew you were here to borrow books, so he asked me to wait for you here."
The young man said with a smile: "There are not many other things in this courtyard, but there are quite a lot of books. The martial arts book you asked about can be found in the study here."
With that said, he led the way and welcomed Su Ziji to a study room.
When the study door was opened and Su Ziji was let in, he was shocked as soon as he glanced at it.
This study room is several feet square and is extremely quiet and elegant. There is a jade flute hanging at the south end and a small table at the west end. There are several flowers in a vases with rain-stained sky blue on it. It is very elegant and pleasant.
That's all. There is a red sandalwood bookcase, full of books. Just by looking at it, you can tell that they are handwritten books.
Su Ziji couldn't help but be shocked by this "generousness"!
As long as it is not printed but handwritten, and the owner agrees to borrow it, Su Ziji is eligible to borrow any volume here.
This is not a book from a study, it is clearly a treasure from a study!
