"We are from the Guanglu Temple Qing Zhou Mansion, and we would like to meet Su Ye, the mistress of the Su Mansion."
When Mammy told them that they were here to see the mistress of the Su Mansion, Ye Shi, Jia Bingguo became a little more polite.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll go in and call you!"
The soldier ran into the alley, and an officer came over and chatted with the nanny.
When Soldier Jia came back and said they could come in, Zhou Yao walked in. The nanny she was bringing with her whispered, "Miss, this is a bit unusual."
"Who do you think is guarding here? They are the soldiers of Mr. Fang Xiaohou!"
"As soon as we got closer, suspicious and wary eyes came over us. I didn't know it, but I thought there was a noble person inside..."
Having said this, grandma felt a little depressed.
After all, they came from the house of a third-rank official to visit the wife of a sixth-rank official. It was really unbelievable that they were being watched with such vigilance.
Zhou Yao glanced at her lightly and immediately shut up the grandmother.
"Ayao, you're here." Taohuaxiang came in. Before he reached the gate of Su Mansion, someone was already welcoming him out from inside, surrounded by maids.
Zhou Yao smiled a little when facing Ye Buhui who came to greet her.
"Well, I'm here."
She originally wanted to bring the sweet oranges in, but people outside were afraid they would have to check them one by one, so Zhou Yao just thought of bringing the oranges in when she left.
At this time, her arm was held by Ye Buhui, and he was led inside affectionately. She followed, but her eyes fell on the eaves of the courtyard.
There were some strange maids and women standing there. There were six or seven of them. Judging by their dress, they were very different from the maids and women in this mansion, and they didn't look like they came from the same family. How many groups of guests came to Su Mansion at the same time today?
"Three ladies and young ladies have just arrived. These people are the ones who serve." Ye Buhui whispered, finally showing some emotion and feeling a little uneasy.
Because the three ladies who came, most commonly the wives of third-rank officials, would bring at least a few people with them. Although the area of the flower hall is not small, it is impossible to accommodate all the people brought in. Even one person can bring a maid.
Sitting in the hall, the others are all servants of the Su family.
After Su Ziji left, Lu Fengyun took the initiative and purchased several more maids and servants, all of whom signed death contracts. They were considered as rough servants to serve Ye Buhui, the mistress, so that they would not be overwhelmed when there were many female guests.
Come.
Anyway, with the income of the Su family, they can afford to support these servants.
Ye Buhui's housekeeper was only average. After all, she was just the daughter of a bookstore owner and had no mother to teach her. However, after Su Ziji left the capital, she corresponded with Ye Buhui and learned that Ye Buhui wanted to learn how to be a housekeeper.
After that, he asked Lu Fengyun to help find a nanny from a reliable official family and send it to the Su Mansion. This could not only accompany Ye Buhui so that she would not be lonely, but also allow Ye Buhui to learn some things from her nanny.
Housekeeping and social matters.
This time when the three ladies came to visit, they saw that the Su residence was in good order and the servants were doing their jobs, so they nodded secretly.
Although Ye Buhui is just beautiful, not stunningly beautiful, he is not a cowardly and confident person, and through his own training, he looks, talks and behaves decently.
No matter whether these three female guests wanted to find faults, they couldn't find any big faults.
Especially before they came, because they knew that Su Ye was from a small family, they did not have high expectations. They just hoped that he would not be a messy person. At this moment, they felt a surprise that exceeded their expectations.
.
It's a pity that in this way, their idea of getting close to Mrs. Ye may not be easy to achieve.
A petty person can use profit to gain his advantage, but a person who seems to be a generous person can only become familiar with him temporarily and then slowly take advantage of him.
Before Zhou Yao came, they were talking to Ye Buhui. When they heard the report from the maid that it was Miss Zhou Mansion who came to visit, the genuine smile on Mrs. Ye's face made the three of them look at each other and said to the visitor.
Got curious.
When they met, they discovered that it was Miss Zhou, Zhou Yao, the daughter of Bachelor Zhou.
Someone who once had a dead fiancé.
Everyone was in the same circle, so there was no need to introduce each other. Zhou Yao recognized all three of them. The young and beautiful woman with an oval face was Fang Zhen’s wife Zhao, and the other was Jiang, the wife of the Prime Minister of Zongrenfu.
Mrs. Jiang, and Miss Jiang, who is the aunt and nephew of Mrs. Jiang.
Both the aunt and nephew were mediocre in appearance and could only be considered handsome in appearance, but they had good attitudes and seemed amiable. At least they looked harmonious to Ye Buhui.
After meeting each other, Ye Buhui asked someone to serve Zhou Yao tea and talked together.
Although Ye Buhui took care of everyone, anyone with eyes could see that Ye Buhui was more enthusiastic about Zhou Yao than other female guests.
But the two of them have been friends for a long time, which is not incomprehensible. Looking carefully, Zhou Yao's eyes are no longer as sad as they were at first, and her expression is no longer as sad as yesterday. She is becoming more and more beautiful, but she seems to have no popularity.
With his head lowered, he has a distant look.
"She's much prettier." Understanding the man's nature, although the three of them were thinking about it and the niece was a little more wary, Zhou Yao was lucky enough to get to know her in advance, and the three of them also started to have fun with Ye Buhui, and even talked to her.
Zhou Yao's attitude became more enthusiastic.
Now not only Zhou Yao was curious, but the master Ye Buhui was also surprised.
"It's weird, why are there so many distinguished guests visiting today? Why are they so polite to me?"
Fang Zhen's wife, Mrs. Zhao, may have come to visit her because her husband knew Fang Zhen.
Zhou Yao is his friend, and he happened to be here today.
The wife and niece of the Prime Minister of that sect also came to visit today, and they were so polite. Why?
Although my husband was the number one scholar in this year's new subject, as soon as he passed the exam, he was sent to serve as an observer for the imperial court, and he also acted as the deputy minister of the government. It can be said that he has been reused and has a bright future, but no matter how promising he is, it will only be in the future.
Now he is only a sixth-rank official, so why should the wife of a third-rank official and the wife of the Crown Prince of the Hou Mansion take the initiative to visit?
This is not to belittle oneself, but this matter is indeed unusual.
Zhou Yao also had this doubt. She used to be in the circle of noble ladies, but since she lost her fiancé, their expressions have become more subtle. However, she has become more and more cold since then, as if she is not aware of their subtlety.
Now, because of Ye Buhui's attitude, they have changed subtly and seem to be closer. This means that Ye Buhui or her husband's energy has greatly increased.
She raised her head and glanced, her eyes twitching, but she said nothing.
The mysterious voice said "Hey": "This Ye Buhui suddenly changed."
"What change?" Zhou Yao asked casually in her mind, thinking about her father's instructions.
The mysterious female voice, obviously hesitant, said after a long time: "This Ye Buhui seems to have a hint of phoenix spirit now!"
