lady

Chapter 188

Qinghe Village is like many impoverished mountain villages she has seen on her several trips with her father, with dilapidated, dilapidated, and crumbling houses, rugged, narrow, and dusty trails, and large fields on a vast expanse of land.At this time of year, the crops have begun to turn yellow, without the vibrant green eyes.

In Zhou Biyao's carriage sat two servant girls and Nanny Zhong, and four robust domestic servants followed behind and behind the carriage.

Shunyi has already made people suspicious, and has been cleaned up once.Zhou Biyao didn't dare to ask Shunyi to lead the way, so the group had no choice but to walk and ask questions all the way. They set off at exactly the right time, and hurried on the road. It wasn't until [-]:[-] that they found the courtyard of the second bedroom of Qi's family.

Zhou Biyao opened the curtains of the car a little wider, glanced outside, and was immediately startled by a large area of ​​neatly spaced fences.What is this, the cattle farm managed by Mrs. Qi for His Royal Highness King Yu needs such a large space?How many cattle do you have to raise?

Turning his gaze again, he saw a yard that was as dilapidated as other houses in the village, or even more dilapidated, and two thatched cottages in the yard.Next to this yard, a house is under construction, which looks like the outline of three rooms.

In that construction area, more than a dozen people were working on their own, 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 have begun to see scale.

Ye Xinyan heard carriages and horses approaching from outside the yard, but recently there were a lot of things at home, Qi Younian and Fan Zhengyuan were also busy every day, and the two carriages bought by the family and the cattle farm were also coming and going, so she didn't pay much attention .

Until Liu Nanny asked: "Are you looking for someone?" Immediately afterwards, Liu Nanny's tone changed, and her tone seemed more familiar, "So it's Miss Tuesday, why did Miss Tuesday come to such a remote place, but Anything passing by?"

Ye Xinyan turned her head to look over and met Zhou Biyao, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring blankly at her.

Zhou Biyao's eyes were too surprised and focused, which surprised Ye Xinyan, she looked down at herself, there was nothing wrong with it.Then, when he looked around, he saw Wang Qiao who had just raised his head from his desk position.

Oh, here's the problem.Ms. Zhou, who was born in an official family, probably has never seen such an out-of-the-ordinary woman get along so closely with a man in broad daylight.

So what's your noble Miss Tuesday doing in this unruly 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 get along with men at close range and sneakily.

Zhou Biyao came to her senses under the double questioning of Liu Nanny and Ye Xinyan.She hastily twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "I've wanted to visit my sister for a long time, but I just got free today. No, my sister is here."

Nanny Zhong also smiled and said to Nanny Liu: "My second young lady admires Mrs. Qi very much, and has always wanted to have more contact with Mrs. Qi. The second young lady said that if she can learn a little bit of Mrs. Qi's ability to make dim sum, it will be considered as ours." Women have more skills, no.”

When the first sentence is said in a similar way, the rest will be smoother.With a familiar smile on her face, Zhou Biyao walked towards Ye Xinyan, "My sister is taking the liberty of coming, I hope my sister will not blame her for being rude."

Seeing her approaching, Ye Xinyan thought that Wang Qiao was still on the other side of the table, this distance was already too close for a well-educated and well-mannered female.Can Zhou Biyao let go of the rules of the back house?

Sure enough, after Zhou Biyao took only two steps, his feet froze, and when he took the third step with difficulty, he stopped completely.

Ye Xinyan looked at Zhou Biyao with a half-smile, but didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became a little awkward. Mammy Liu admired Miss Ye's determination and calmness to the extreme.Facing the guests who are also women, the eldest lady seems to have no idea of ​​time and the saying that men and women are great defenses.

No wonder Miss Ye's reputation in the capital was so bad back then, it seems that this kind of arrogant style who doesn't take women's rules into consideration, if the reputation can be good, how can there be any reason?

But this aunt couldn't say anything, Mammy Liu could only wink at Wang Qiao, and then told Bining, "Bining, go and tidy up the house, please sit in Miss Tuesday's room."

Seeing how familiar this delicate woman is with Ye Xinyan, Wang Qiao thought she was an old acquaintance of Ye Xinyan just like Master Rong Liu.Because Master Rong Liu and Master Jiang had a laissez-faire attitude towards Ye Xinyan, Wang Qiao never thought about whether he should avoid it.

He didn't wake up until he received Liu Nanny's wink, and quickly said: "Since there are guests at home, Ye Zi will treat the guests first. I'll go and watch the construction site for Uncle Fourth."

"No need." Ye Xinyan said only then, "Our construction period is tight, and there is no delay. You should do as we agreed, and I will be ready right away."

Wang Qiao frowned. Ye Zi was right, but rules seemed to be very important to Ye Zi.He glanced at Nanny Liu, a little undecided.

Ye Xinyan smiled at Liu Mama: "We country folks, if we follow those rules, we will not be able to live. Don't you think so?"

Mammy Liu sighed secretly, and said to Nanny Zhong: "Mammy can also understand the difficulties of our poor people in the countryside to make a living, please come in and talk to the second young lady."

Ye Xinyan said to Wang Qiao, "It's important to catch up with the construction period." Turning around, she smiled at Zhou Biyao, "Please come to the second lady's room."

Although Zhou Biyao heard from his brother that the Qi family's residence was tight and cramped, he did not expect it to be so tense.

The two rooms of Qi's house don't look very big, the inside is unknown, but the outside is piled up with all kinds of belongings and items, there is only some space on the kang, where several people can sit.

Ye Xinyan said to Zhou Biyao: "The life of the country people is difficult, and it is difficult to pay attention to the living place. Please forgive me, Second Miss."

Zhou Biyao hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the kang.

Nanny Zhong hurried forward, and dusted the edge of the kang with a handkerchief.

Zhou Biyao walked over a few steps, and said to Nanny Zhong, "You mustn't be rude. We are guests, so of course we come here according to the master's rules. Although my sister's house is cramped, but my sister lives there, can't we sit around?" ?”

Turning around and apologizing to Ye Xinyan, "Sister is doing big things, don't argue with me."

Ye Xinyan was too lazy to spend time socializing with the idle girl, so she asked Zhou Biyao to say, "Second miss, please sit on the kang. Although our house is old, but fortunately, it's clean, so we won't stain our clothes. "

Zhou Biyao said in his mouth: "My sister is joking." While really taking off her shoes and getting on the kang, she sat upright by the kang table.

Ye Xinyan was stunned, then got on the kang and sat opposite Zhou Biyao.This set of close attitudes is quite correct.

The corresponding tea and snacks are served, although they are not made of fine porcelain, they are clean and refreshing.
