On this morning, as soon as Zhou Xiaofu and the three of them returned to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Tongzhou, they heard Cuihua come to report that Wang Yousi came to report that it was someone from Zhou's mansion.

Zhou Xiaofu frowned, is there something going on, it's only mid-August now, and I plan to go back in early September, is there something wrong with coming over so early.

Let Lan's mother go over and ask.

After a while, Lan's mother came over and said with a happy face: "Fourth Miss, it is your brother-in-law who has come to the house to take you to your grandfather's house in Jindu to participate in your eldest cousin's ceremony." ”

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, the original owner's memory has a very faint impression of the grandfather's family, and he has no impression of this uncle, he won't go to the gang, since the house sent someone to pick him up, he has to go back.

Let Cuihua call Wang Yousi to come over, this is suddenly leaving, and the Zhuangzi of Yiyang County has not settled down, so I have to explain it well, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I go.

briefly explained the follow-up matters, and the second was to tell Wang Yousi that if there was something urgent to go to Tiandu Academy to find his brother, let his brother convey it to her, and it would be no big deal to come back, so Zhou Xiaofu hurriedly settled Lan's mother to pack up and prepare to leave early the next morning.

Early in the morning, because there was not much luggage, Zhou Xiaofu didn't bring any old clothes, but just brought a few new ones, and then two maids, as well as the coachman and the guards when they came, and a line of two carriages and two guards on horseback went on the road.

Riding in the carriage in a row, Zhou Xiaofu slowly got used to it, and the carriage was slightly modified before leaving, but it was not bumpy, all the way was a pipeline Zhou Xiaofu didn't look much outside, and it was about the same, just nothing to read, Lan's mother ate the water that Zhou Xiaofu gave her in advance this time, but there was no reflection at all.

The carriage rested halfway, ate something, and went straight on the road, walking for a full three and a half hours, and arrived at Zhou's mansion at three o'clock in the afternoon.

To enter through the gate, Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother got out of the carriage together, looking at the vermilion gate with two mighty lion heads at the door, it looked solemn, Zhou Xiaofu sighed slightly in her heart, and she was going back to this bird cage again.

After calling the door, the little maid immediately came to open the door, the two coachmen went to park the carriage, and the guards also left after the confession, Zhou Xiaofu returned to his own garden with Mother Lan, Cuihua, and Ziling, and just walked to the fence of the small courtyard when she heard a rough female voice say: "How long do you say that the fourth lady will come back this time?" ”

Another sharp female voice sneered: "I heard that the fourth lady made a mistake and was driven to Zhuangzi, who knows if she can come back, maybe, she will have to wait until she gets married to come back?" ”

The rough voice just now suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, what kind of husband do you think the fourth lady can find in that figure?" After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.

Mother Lan rushed in angrily, and Zhou Xiaofu followed, but she was wearing a bib, but she couldn't see her face.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a mother-in-law in her thirties and a girl dressed as a seventeen or eighteen maid sitting on a stone bench in the yard and laughing.

Mother Lan said angrily: "What a big rule, you two cheap maids have been raised in this house, and you dare to talk about the young lady of the main family behind your back." ”

When the two saw that it was Mother Lan, they were stunned and were not afraid, and said contemptuously: "Yo, this is Mother Lan, why don't you go and serve Miss Four, and run back alone." ”

Mother Lan angrily pointed at the two of them speechless.

Zhou Xiaofu took off his hat and looked at the two people coldly, one was fat and thick, and the other was sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and said: "Cuihua, Ziling, give me a palm." ”

Cuihua and Ziling stepped forward immediately when they heard this, one of them stood in front of a servant and slapped it hard, the two of them covered their faces in horror, and the older said: "You, who are you, how dare you beat us, we are the slaves of the Zhou Mansion, you have no right to beat us." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and didn't speak, Mother Lan stepped forward majestically and said, "Open your dog's eyes, this is the fourth lady is back, are you blind, the master is here, don't you know how to salute?" ”

The two maids looked at Zhou Xiaofu at this time, and saw that the woman was tall, with a look of seven feet and one two, one foot here in the Kaiyuan Dynasty is equivalent to 0.23 meters in modern times, that is, Zhou Xiaofu's current body is about 1.65 meters, but in ancient times, most men were each 7 feet 34, and the mighty men were 8 feet, that is, 1.8 meters, and women were generally more than 6 feet, that is, between 1.54 and 1.6 meters, and Zhou Xiaofu's current height was tall in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

This woman has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of heroism, although the dress is simple, but she does not hide her nobility, and she looks like she is not allowed to enter, this is the fourth miss who has been away for more than a month, how is it possible, the fourth miss is a big fat girl, the whole house knows it, the two maids saw that Lan's mother and Cuihua were following, even if they wondered in their hearts, they quickly knelt down and saluted, after all, the two of them were indeed too rude just now, plus Zhou Xiaofu's heroic face, her knees were so frightened that her knees were weak.

Zhou Xiaofu saw that the two were convinced, so she went to the house first.

And Lan's mother asked two maids outside, it turned out that these two people were transferred from other yards by stepmother Ye Xinlan after Zhou Xiaofu left, and the one in her own yard was dropped away, this stepmother is always trying to replace the people around her, it's really hard.

After a while, Lan's mother came in, with a gloomy face, and said, "Fourth Miss, the people in this courtyard have been replaced, and there are various reasons, what should I do now?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "Don't worry, just see the move, you can't worry about what didn't happen, it's too tiring to live like this."

Lan's mother felt a little more relaxed, she knew that Zhou Xiaofu had grown up a lot, and she also had some means, but there were too many dross things at the mansion gate, and all kinds of means, she was really afraid that Miss Fourth would not be able to cope with a twelve-year-old girl, but now it was too early to worry, so she immediately told Cuihua to hurry up and fetch water After that, Zhou Xiaofu washed and changed clothes, and went to the front hall to ask for peace, otherwise it would be rude.

After washing, Zhou Xiaofu changed into a pink and white left-sided buttoned shirt, and wore a blue skirt on the lower body, the hem of the skirt was green willow leaves, and then extended to the waist, fading, the whole looked like a spring peach blossom, so that Cuihua gave a spiral flower bun, did not wear anything on her head, and brought a pair of small diamond studs on her ears, which looked full of aura.

As soon as I got dressed, I heard Ziling report that Zhou Xiaoxuan was here, and that he was going to go to the front hall with her.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled coldly, this Zhou Xiaoxuan really can't wait to see her, I don't know if she will be surprised to see her after losing weight.
