Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 479
"Also, don't always call me 'Miss Zhao', it's too ugly," Zhao Yuxin raised her chin slightly, trying to show the arrogance of the prefect's daughter, "You can just call me Yuxin, I won't despise you."

Han Duyue continued to smile and nodded: "Yu Xin, thank you very much this time, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"Hmph, if it was me, if I met someone like shopkeeper Liu, I would just drive her away," Zhao Yuxin took a sip of tea, and continued to speak arrogantly, "It's just a helper who has been the boss a few times. Do you really think of yourself as your master?"

"But after all, she is someone who has worked with Song Ning for several years, and I can't do anything to her." Han Duyue said so in her mouth, but she said in her heart, of course I knew you would do this, otherwise, I wouldn't have come Please help me with this.

The two chatted a few more words about this matter, and then Zhao Yuxin pulled Han Duyue to tell another story. Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Duyue was about to get up and leave when she saw a middle-aged woman walking in.

"Miss, Madam learned that you have guests here, so she told the servants to prepare more lunch in the kitchen. Now that the food is ready, Madam asked the servants to invite the young lady and the distinguished guests over." The person who came was the magistrate. Madam's dowry maid, Lingxin.

Zhao Yuxin glanced at Han Duyue, frowned slightly, but still responded: "I see, you go back to mother's side first, I will take her there with me after cleaning up."

"If this is the case, the servant will leave first." Lingxin bowed and retreated.

As soon as she left, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help complaining: "My mother is really, she will take care of my affairs. I obviously didn't tell her that I have guests here today."

Han Duyue mistakenly thought that Zhao Yuxin didn't want her to contact her family, so she got up and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home that I haven't dealt with, maybe I can't have lunch with my wife and you."

The two were chatting just now, and now they suddenly said something was wrong, even if Zhao Yuxin was not smart, she could understand what Han Duyue meant, and waved her hand and said, "It's not that I don't welcome you, it's just that my mother has a bit of a temper... I'm afraid you will I'm not used to it, but since my mother has sent her servants over, it would be bad if you leave again, just stay with me later, don't be too nervous."

Don't you know that the more you say that, the more nervous I will be?Han Duyue looked at Zhao Yuxin helplessly, but could only nod her head: "I see, I won't talk nonsense later."

After a brief tidying up, the two went to Madam Zhifu's yard together. When they got there, the food was already on the table, but Madam Zhao hadn't come yet.

"My mother is used to drinking a bowl of goat's milk before meals, and she will come over later, let's sit down first," Zhao Yuxin pulled Han Duyue to sit down, wrinkled her nose and said, "I think goat's milk is very bad Yes, my mother told me to drink it too, but I can't stand the taste."

Han Duyue smiled slightly, and whispered cautiously: "Goat's milk nourishes the body, and women can beautify their skin after drinking it. It is a very good tonic."

"Then I can't stand it either, the smell is too strong." Zhao Yuxin's nose wrinkled even more.

When Han Duyue saw that the master was not here, and he couldn't start eating, he simply explained to Zhao Yuxin: "The taste of goat's milk is indeed very strong, but when boiling goat's milk, add a few almonds or a small packet Jasmine tea can basically remove the smell of goat milk itself. If you like sweetness, you can also add a spoonful of honey or sugar.”

"Really?" Zhao Yuxin blinked curiously.

"Of course, you'll know next time you try it," Han Duyue nodded earnestly, and reminded, "But everything must be taken care of. Although goat milk has many benefits for the body, you can't drink too much. Goat milk is hot in nature, if you drink too much, you may get angry, and your body does not need so much nutrition, and you can't absorb it if you drink too much."

Zhao Yuxin listened thoughtfully, and became interested in this matter: "Then I'll try it later, if it's really delicious, then I'll drink it too."

The two of them were chatting when they heard a soft voice: "Yu Xin, what are you talking to this young lady? You're talking so enthusiastically."

Han Duyue hurriedly stood up when she heard the sound, and when she turned her head, she saw a solemnly dressed woman approaching with a smile, she should be Mrs. Zhao.

"Mother, you're here. I was just talking about goat milk with Xiaoyue." Zhao Yuxin also stood up and introduced them with a smile, "Mother, this is Han Duyue. Xiaoyue, This is my mother."

Han Duyue straightened his expression, and saluted in a polite but not humble manner: "I have met Mrs. Zhao."

"So you are Xiaoyue. I heard Yuxin mention you often before. She must have caused you a lot of trouble." Mrs. Zhao sat down in the main seat, and then said to the two, "Sit down, Xiaoyue It's the first time you come to eat at home, don't feel restrained."

Han Duyue waited for Zhao Yuxin to sit down, and then sat down, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao is joking, Miss Zhao is straightforward and straightforward, I like it very much."

"Since you are Yu Xin's friend, you don't need to call me Madam. If you don't mind, you can call me Auntie." Madam Zhao gestured to the servants, and the servants began to serve food on the table. Looks well trained.

This is the first time Han Duyue saw Mrs. Zhao, but in a short time, she had seen that this Mrs. Zhao must be a shrewd person who is good at housekeeping, so Han Duyue felt even more strange that such a shrewd person , Why did you show a lot of affection for yourself when you met for the first time?
Calling myself "Xiaoyue" when we meet, and letting myself call her "Auntie", does this seem to be inconsistent with her identity?And Han Duyue doesn't believe that this person doesn't know that she is a peasant girl.

Now that she knows her true identity, as a noble lady who maintains her own identity, even if she doesn't show disgust and contempt, it seems that she shouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Han Duyue ate very carefully, because she didn't understand the reason why Mrs. Zhao kept her eating at Zhao's house, and she didn't know whether this person was really as enthusiastic about her as she appeared on the surface. .

However, I have to say that the food at Zhifu's family is delicious. Although the meal is a little cautious, it does not affect the taste of Han Duyue's food, so the meal is quite enjoyable.

After the meal, the leftovers on the table were taken away, Madam Zhao did not hurry to drive the two away, but drank tea and said, "Yu Xin, I remember you said last time that you wanted to learn how to draw flowers." , it just so happens that I have gotten a few nice new looks in the past few days, ask Lingxin to take you there to have a look."

Zhao Yuxin's eyes brightened: "Okay, Xiaoyue, why don't you go over and have a look? Although it may not be as good-looking as your drawing, it's always good to see more."

Before Han Duyue could answer, Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "You girl, don't you have to drag Xiaoyue to do everything? You should let her rest here."

Han Duyue glanced at Mrs. Zhao, vaguely felt that Mrs. Zhao was deliberately pushing Zhao Yuxin away, so she cooperated and said, "Go and see first, I was so full from eating just now that I couldn't straighten up. "

"Okay, then you wait here for me, and I'll be right back." Zhao Yuxin pouted, got up and followed Lingxin.

After she went out, Mrs. Zhao also put down her teacup: "Xiaoyue, can I call you that?"

I have called several times just now, and now I know how to ask, but Han Duyue's answer can only be: "Madam Zhao just doesn't dislike it."

"Speaking of which, Yuxin's temperament has been different from other girls since she was a child. She is too lively, and because she has been spoiled all the time, she becomes more and more arrogant." Mrs. Zhao nodded lightly, and started a topic like a commonplace. "So she hasn't had many friends since she was a child, and she seldom mentions anyone in front of me, but recently she often mentions your name."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao gave Han Duyue a sharp look, her eyes were only stern, and she couldn't see good or bad.

Han Duyue lowered her head slightly, and didn't know what to say when she heard the words, so she simply smiled.

"In the past, Yuxin never liked female workers. Even if I hired the best master in Fucheng, it would be difficult for her to embroider a few more stitches. But before she volunteered to learn how to draw flowers," Mrs. Zhao moved away. His eyes fell on his teacup, "I told her to learn housekeeping before, but she refused, but last night she suddenly said that she wanted to learn how to run a house with me, which surprised me a lot."

Han Duyue vaguely guessed what Mrs. Zhao was going to say, but she still didn't speak.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Han Duyue again, but this time her gaze was much softer: "I have said something, so you don't have to think about it. In fact, when I first heard Yuxin mention you, I just hated you. And complaining, saying that you made her lose her face in public, so I will definitely not let you go. I know Yuxin's temperament, she seems to ignore everyone on weekdays, but in fact she doesn't want to care too much. Even if she was very concerned about some things at the time, she would usually forget about them after a few days, but she often mentioned you during that time."

Han Duyue was a little ashamed, but it was expected. After all, not long ago, her relationship with Zhao Yuxin was incompatible.

"At that time, I thought, I don't know which lady could make Yu Xin so angry and say such things." Mrs. Zhao smiled faintly, paused, and said, "But it's only been more than an hour. In a month's time, when she mentioned you again, she has completely changed her attitude. Although her brows were still frowning, she didn't feel disgusted much anymore. She said she didn't expect you to be able to draw such beautiful pictures. Flowers, and said that I would teach her how to draw flowers."

This should be after she said that those flower shapes were drawn by her, Han Duyue thought silently.
