lady

Chapter 555 Kneel down

Mrs. Zhao had already seen Nanny Liu and others who came out first, and she was still guessing who this decent middle-aged woman was, and whether she was some kind of wife in this family.

At this time, when Mammy Liu called Zhang Wusi so respectfully, her heart turned and she couldn't help being surprised.Such a decent woman is actually just a servant?

Well, since she's just a servant, don't you need to be polite to her?Lest people look down on themselves?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao subconsciously brought her eyes into contact with Nanny Liu, and immediately lowered her self-supporting momentum, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "You are welcome, sister-in-law." Then she looked again. Surrounding him, he still didn't see his son, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Ye Xinyan stepped back, letting Zhang Wusi and his son accompany Mrs. Zhao to the reception room, and she followed behind.To be honest, she was a little worried for Zhou Biyao.This Mrs. Zhao is probably a self-reliant mother, but not necessarily a good mother-in-law.What's more, Mrs. Zhao also brought a cousin of Wang Qiao.

Xiuqin held Zhao Shi's arm tightly, rather than hugging her tightly.Before turning around, he glanced nervously at Ye Xinyan again, and walked next to Mrs. Zhao to the reception room.

Zhang Wusi sensed the nervousness of the two Zhaos, and he breathed a sigh of relief while walking, asking them how they were on the road and whether their home was settled properly.

In just a few words, they arrived at the door of the reception room.Jiu Yu opened the curtain first and let them go in.

That Xiuqin flinched at first, then boldly looked Jiu Yu up and down, and then followed Zhang Wusi and Zhao Shi into the room.When passing by Jiuyu, Xiuqin seemed to raise her chin, and stared at Jiuyu in a daze.

In the reception room, Mrs. Yin was sitting at the head, Zhou Biyao was standing beside her, and Qi Younian was sitting on the side chair.

When Qi Younian saw Zhang Wusi and Mrs. Zhao coming in, he got up and took a step forward, saying, "The seventh sibling is here, it's been a hard journey."

Mrs. Zhao and Qi Younian hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. It was heartbreaking to see each other suddenly at this moment, so she quickly let go of Xiuqin, took two steps, and saluted Qi Younian: "Sister-in-law has met elder brother."

Qi Younian waved his hand and said, "We are our own people, so you don't need to be too polite. The seventh brother and sister come to meet Mrs. Shizi first." Then he said to Yin Shi, "Madam, this is my seventh brother's wife, Wang Qiao's mother, Mrs. Zhao."

When Mrs. Zhao entered the door, she saw a rich, luxurious and beautiful lady sitting in the front of the room. She knew that this was the mother of the eldest lady just now, the wife of the prince of the state that Zhang Quanxi was talking about.

When I first entered the door, I didn't dare to look too much because I was afraid of being rude. Now, after hearing Qi Younian's introduction, I let go of my courage and looked up at Yin Shi.

At this glance, my heart was flustered again.Such a person, and poor white people like them, their identities are quite different, right?
Zhao's heart was flustered, and she quickly bowed her knees and saluted, "The women pay their respects to Madam, please be well." As she spoke, her legs became weak.Fortunately, there was Mother Liu beside her, who supported her and looked at Yin Shi.

Yin said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, you don't need to be polite. I have been watching Aqiao's work these days. I am very rare for that child. Speaking of which, we are all on our own." Then, he motioned to Cuibai, "Please, Mrs. Zhao sit."

Mrs. Zhao quickly thanked her, introduced Xiuqin and said: "This is Xiuqin, my niece from my mother's family. Thanks to Xiuqin for being with the women these past few years, the women are not so lonely and desolate. Xiuqin, come and greet Madam. .”

Ye Xinyan from behind looked at Zhou Biyao, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Biyao's surprised face, then looked at Zhao Shi, her eyes sank, and she withdrew her gaze sadly.

Xiuqin greeted Mrs. Yin stutteringly, but was let by Cuibai to sit next to Mrs. Zhao.

Zhang Wusi and Ye Xinyan sat next to Qi Younian.

Sitting down, Mrs. Zhao saw a well-dressed and beautiful maid serving tea, and quickly thanked her.After taking the teacup, he asked Qi Younian cautiously, "Brother, why haven't you seen Aqiao? Is he not here?"

Before Qi Younian could speak, Zhang Wusi let out a "hey" and said with a smile, "Look at me, I should have told my siblings just now, but after a few greetings, I forgot about it." Ye Xinyan curled her lips, probably It's not because you forgot to see the ceremony, but because your seventh sibling brought a girl, which was beyond everyone's expectations, so you forgot to mention Wangqiao, right?

I just heard Zhang Wusi continue to say: "The imperial court is going to have a big project, and some things will be used in it, and knowledgeable craftsmen need to come and give some pointers. Because the matter is urgent, Aqiao led people to the capital to do things two days ago."

"Chao, the court?" Zhao's eyes widened, "Aqiao went to the capital? Tell the court about the big project?"

Zhang Wusi said with a smile: "Yes, we, Aqiao, can do things now, and we are no longer the kid who works under the leadership of Mizuki Zuo."

Zhao looked at Qi Younian again.Although Mrs. Zhao hasn't seen Qi Younian for more than ten years, she can absolutely trust the character and reputation of her husband's sworn brother.

Qi Younian smiled and nodded: "The imperial court's fortifications are in a hurry, and the craftsmen of the imperial court's Ministry of Industry have never done any of the equipment used in the project, so I asked Aqiao to give pointers. Don't worry, the seventh sibling, it's not a very labor-intensive task. Aqiao has passed it." I can come back in a year."

"That's it." Zhao was relieved now.His own son is really up to the mark, when he was doing things with Zuotou in the past, he was exceptionally good.Now that she is so promising, she has to go to Aqiao for things that the court can't do. As a mother, she can be said to have come to the end of all hardships.

Thinking of this, when Zhao Shi looked at Ye Xinyan and Yin Shi again, he seemed less uneasy.She turned her eyes and saw Zhou Biyao standing behind Yin. This woman's appearance and clothes were quite different from other maids.

Mrs. Zhao immediately remembered the letter that Zhang Quanxi had brought, the marriage that Brother Qi mentioned in the letter, could it be....

"Mrs. Shizi, who is that girl?" Zhao looked at Zhou Biyao and asked Yin cautiously.

Yin Shi was still thinking about how to introduce Zhou Biyao to Zhao Shi.It's just that she couldn't figure out what Zhao Shi meant, so she hesitated.Ordinarily, the letter Mr. Qi brought to Mrs. Zhao should have made it very clear. Why did Mrs. Zhao bring a girl?And kept saying that she was thanks to this young girl for her company.

What does it mean?
Although Mrs. Yin hesitated, since Mrs. Zhao asked, no matter what she meant, she just said Zhou Biyao's identity at this time, and also took a look at Mrs. Zhao's attitude by the way.

Yin said with a smile: "This is the second young lady of the magistrate's family in Yuyuan County. Her name is Zhou Biyao. She has been following Ayan and Aqiao..."

Before Mrs. Yin could finish her words, Mrs. Zhao quickly stood up, took two steps forward, knelt down in the direction of Zhou Biyao, "It turns out that she is the lady of the magistrate's family, and the woman is innocent. In front of Ms. Zhou, where is she?" There are seats for lowly peasants like peasant women."

The whole waiting room was silent for a moment.
