Chapter 188: Pretty Good Attitude
Qinghe Village, like many of the impoverished mountain villages she had seen on her father's journey to work, was full of dilapidated, scattered, crumbling houses, rugged, narrow, dusty paths, and vast fields in the desert. At this time of year, the crops have begun to turn yellow, and they have lost their vibrant green.
In Zhou Biyao's carriage sat two maids and Mama Zhong, and there were four sturdy domestic servants in front of and behind the carriage.
Shunyi has already made people suspicious, and it has been cleaned up once. Zhou Biyao didn't dare to find Shunyi to lead the way, the group had to walk all the way, ask all the way, set off at the right time, and hurried away, until three o'clock in the morning, they found the gate of the second room of the Qi family.
Zhou Biyao lifted the curtains of the car wider, glanced outside, and was immediately startled by a large circle of neatly separated fences. What is this, the cattle farm managed by Qi Niangzi for His Royal Highness King Yu needs such a large site? How many cattle do you have to raise?
Turning his gaze again, he saw a courtyard and two thatched houses in the courtyard that were as dilapidated as the other houses in the village, or even more dilapidated. Next to this courtyard, construction is underway to build a house that looks like a three-room silhouette.
In the construction area, more than a dozen people were busy with their own work, and craftsmen standing on the shelves were laying bricks on the wall that was about to reach the top. It can be seen that the houses under construction are beginning to take shape.
Ye Xinyan heard that there were cars and horses approaching outside the yard, but there were a lot of things at home recently, Qi Younian and Fan Zhengyuan were also busy every day, and the two carriages bought at home and the cattle farm were also coming in and out, coming and going, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Until Mama Liu's question rang out: "How many people are looking for someone?" Immediately afterwards, Mama Liu's tone changed, and her tone became more familiar, "It turned out to be Miss Tuesday, why did Miss Tuesday come to such a poor country, but something happened to pass by?" ”
Ye Xinyan turned her head to look over, and looked at Zhou Biyao, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring at her blankly.
Zhou Biyao's eyes were too surprised and focused, which made Ye Xinyan extremely surprised, she looked down at herself, there was no problem. Then I looked around, and I saw Wang Qiao, who had also just raised his head from a desk position.
Oh, here's the problem. Miss Tuesday, who was born in an official family, has probably never seen such an outrageous woman get along with a man so closely in broad daylight.
So, what are you doing in such an unruly and poor place?
Ye Xinyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Biyao.
It's okay to get along like this in broad daylight, but it's even more dangerous if you dodge and sneak up close to a man.
Under the double questions of Mama Liu and Ye Xinyan, Zhou Biyao came back to her senses. She hurriedly pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "I have long wanted to come to visit my sister, but I only got free today." No, my sister came over. ”
Mama Zhong also smiled and said to Mama Liu: "The second lady of my family admires Qi Niangzi very much, and has always wanted to have more contact with Qi Niangzi. The second lady said that if she can learn the ability of Qi Niangzi to make dim sum with half a star, it can be regarded as one more skill for our women. ”
The first sentence is almost uttered, and the rest is much smoother. Zhou Biyao had a familiar smile on her face, and walked over to Ye Xinyan's side, "My sister is presumptuous to come, I hope my sister doesn't blame my sister for being rude." ”
Ye Xinyan saw her coming over, thinking that Wang Qiao was still on the other side of the table, this distance was too close for a well-educated and well-behaved woman. Can Zhou Biyao let go of the rules of the back house?
Sure enough, Zhou Biyao only took two steps, and her feet froze, and after taking the third step with difficulty, she stopped completely.
Ye Xin looked at Zhou Biyao with a smile on her face, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The atmosphere in the venue was immediately a little awkward, and Mama Liu admired Miss Ye's concentration and calmness to the extreme. Facing the guests who are also women, the eldest lady doesn't seem to know that there is such a thing as time and male and female defense.
No wonder Miss Ye's reputation in the capital was so bad, it seems that she is so arrogant and does not take women's rules in her eyes, if the wind review can be good, how can there be heavenly reason?
But this aunt and grandmother couldn't say anything, Mama Liu could only give Wang Qiao a look, and then instructed Bi Ning: "Bi Ning go and clean up the house, please sit in Miss Tuesday's house." ”
Wang Qiao saw that this delicate woman was familiar with Ye Xinyan, and thought that she was also like Rong Liuye, Ye Xinyan's old acquaintance. Because Rong Liuye and Master Jiang had a laissez-faire attitude towards Ye Xinyan, Wang Qiao didn't think about it at all, whether he should avoid it.
It wasn't until he received Mama Liu's eyes that he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Since there are guests at home, Ye Zi will treat the guests first." I'm going to keep an eye on the construction site for Uncle Four for a while. ”
"No, you don't." Ye Xinyan then spoke, "Our construction schedule is tight, we can't delay, you do what we discussed first, and I'll be here right away." ”
Wang Qiao frowned, Ye Zi was right, but the rules seemed to be very important to Ye Zi. He glanced at Mama Liu, and was a little undecided.
Ye Xinyan smiled at Mama Liu and said, "We countrymen do things, if we talk about those rules, we won't be able to live." Do you say? ”
Mama Liu sighed secretly and said to Mama Zhong: "Mama wants to come and understand the difficulties of our poor people in the countryside to beg for life, please invite the second lady into the house to talk." ”
Ye Xinyan said to Wang Qiao, "It's important to meet the deadline." Turning to Zhou Biyao and smiling, "Second Miss, please." ”
Although Zhou Biyao had heard from her brother that the Qi family's residence was tense and cramped, she didn't expect to be so nervous.
The two rooms of the Qi family don't look big, I don't know what the situation is inside, but the outside is full of all kinds of household goods and items, only there is some space on the kang, and a few people can sit.
Ye Xinyan said to Zhou Biyao: "The countrymen have a hard time, and it is difficult to pay attention to the living place, please forgive the second lady." ”
Zhou Baguio only hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the side of the kang.
Mama Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and dusted the edge of the kang with a handkerchief.
Zhou Biyao came over a few steps and said to Mama Zhong: "Mama must not be rude. We are guests, of course, according to the rules of the host. Although my sister's house is cramped, my sister lives well, can't we sit down? ”
turned around and apologized to Ye Xinyan, "Sister is doing big things, don't worry about me." ”
Ye Xinyan was too lazy to spend time socializing with the idle lady, so she asked Zhou Biyao to say, "Second Miss, please sit on the kang." Although our house is old, fortunately, it is still clean, and the clothes will not be dirty. ”
Zhou Biyao said: "My sister said that she was laughing. While really taking off his shoes and getting on the kang, he sat upright at the kang table.
Ye Xinyan was stunned, and also got on the kang and sat opposite Zhou Baguio. This set of attitudes is almost upright.
The tea and snacks are not fine porcelain, but they are also clean and refreshing. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
