Chapter 41 Maid
Yu Huatang glanced at him, said nothing, and put the money in the drawer. "I have to go back early today, so I won't teach you to practice tonight."
Xu Fu asked, "What's the matter, Senior Sister? Could it be that Master Baili has returned and Senior Sister wants to have dinner with him?"
Yu Huatang answered casually, "Yes, I want to go see Baili." Then he walked out.
Xu Fucai didn't believe it. "If Master Baili comes back, he will definitely come to the Master Deng Hall to wait for Senior Sister. Why would you need to go find him?"
Yu Huatang ignored his question and walked faster, "Okay, go and do your own thing."
After sending Xu Fu away, Yu Huatang went straight back to the courtyard and knocked on Zhao Yan's door.
She had known Hua for several years and knew the situation of Hua and Lord Yan. Although they were not poor, they were not rich either.
Today she took a closer look at the snacks, which were extremely exquisite and must have belonged to high-ranking officials and the royal family.
Lord Yan, a county magistrate, would never get these.
Hua knew that people in the small town didn't recognize these things, so she showed them off in front of her. Later, she talked about investigating the case and getting a promotion.
Yu Huatang thought of the Jiang family that Zhao Yan mentioned.
These things were most likely given by the Jiang family or higher-ranking officials.
At this time, the door opened inward, and the face of someone she knew appeared.
When An Yuan heard her say she wanted to see his young master, he said, "The young master hasn't come back yet. Miss...why don't you come in and wait for the young master?"
Yu Huatang replied, "No, I'll just go home and wait."
After saying that, he left.
An Yuan hesitated, wanting to call out but not daring to.
On the first day he arrived, Anfu told him that the former third wife lived diagonally across the street, and if there was anything that could be related in the future, he should try to involve her.
An Yuan kept it in mind, but he didn't know how to do it.
After waiting for a while, Anfu came back from outside, followed by a few girls and an older woman.
Yu Huatang looked out from her home and saw that the girls were all good-looking, probably in their teens, and very pretty.
An Yuan came over and told An Fu what had just happened.
An Fu ignored the other girls and hurried over to Yu Huatang. When he got to her, he said, "Miss Yu, that rough guy An Yuan was wrong just now. He didn't even bother inviting Miss Yu in for tea. He told you to go back home and wait. That's really rude. I'll tell the young master when he comes back."
Yu Huatang said to Anfu, "It's really okay. My house is right next door. I just have something to ask your master. You don't need to drink tea."
"Miss Yu, please don't be so polite..." An Fu said embarrassedly, "An Yuan is just a warrior, his mind is on swords and knives. He has no idea what my young master is thinking every day. That's why he neglected Miss Yu."
An Fu sighed as he spoke, "Why is An Yuan so stupid? It would be nice to invite Miss Yu in to have a seat. His young master would probably be so happy when he comes back."
Yu Huatang always felt that Anfu spoke too respectfully, as if she was still the Third Lady as before, revealing an indescribable weirdness.
Anfu became anxious when he saw that she didn't move.
At this time, the old woman also began to urge, "Hey young man, do you want it or not? It's getting late, and I still have to go to several houses to look at."
Anfu had a headache. Why did all the things happen at the same time today?
He looked back, undecided for a moment, and said, "My son will be back soon. Wait a moment, I'll give you some more money."
The old woman didn't know what to say. She looked at the two of them and said, "Your wife is not here. Why don't you just let your wife choose?"
An Fu almost couldn't breathe. He was afraid that Yu Huatang would be angry, and he was also afraid that he would mess up. He hesitated and said, "Don't talk nonsense... This... This person..."
Yu Huatang said with a smile, "I'm just his neighbor, I can't make the decision."
After saying that, he sat on the stone bench in his yard and watched them quietly.
The old woman, seeing that no one was making the decision and not knowing how long she would have to wait, couldn't help but complain, "It's just a girl, and we have to wait so long."
Anfu got a little angry when he heard this. The young master had said last time that no one cleaned the yard and he didn't do the housework well.
An Fucai thought of buying a maid to help with sorting things out.
She felt a little embarrassed to be humiliated by the old woman, so she pointed at one of the girls with double buns and said, "Okay, this one will do."
"Really?" The old woman pushed the girl forward. "Young man, you have good eyesight. This girl is the most beautiful here."
"Come, go quickly, and be more efficient in your work next time. You will definitely have delicious food and drinks." The old woman asked the maid to come closer.
Yu Huatang also saw the girl's appearance clearly. She was indeed good-looking, pretty, and her face was like a lotus. Yu Huatang vaguely felt that she looked like someone. She looked at her carefully a few more times and confirmed that she looked a bit like Bai Yi from the past.
She smiled. Anfu really knew what his master was thinking.
At this moment, the sound of a carriage moving forward was heard. Anfu tilted his head and said happily, "The young master is back."
As soon as Zhao Yan got out of the car, An Fu ran over and pointed at the person he had chosen, "Sir, this is the girl I chose. Do you think she looks like..."
Zhao Yan took a few casual glances and thought that the girl was indeed pretty. He didn't say anything. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Yu Huatang sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. She was leaning on her arms and looking at them.
Zhao Yan was surprised and asked, "Miss Yu, are you waiting for me?"
Yu Huatang stood up and walked out of his courtyard, saying, "I've heard about what you said last time. But you have to get busy now."
Anfu also said, "Sir, do you want this?"
Zhao Yan looked at the girl again and suddenly realized that this girl looked like Bai Yi from the past.
Bai Yi was the concubine his mother had arranged for him. When they had not divorced, he didn't know what Yu Huatang thought of Bai Yi, but he felt uncomfortable after all.
He turned to look at Yu Huatang. Yu Huatang had already walked away a little, his eyes still on the girl, and he didn't notice Zhao Yan's inquiry.
Zhao Yan said, "None of them. I originally told you to hire some older people who can do the work. These are too young and can't handle the hard work."
He turned to Anfu and said, "Let them go back. You'll still pay them today. Next time, choose a few older and stronger women."
An Fu was a little confused, looking from one to the other, "Sir, are you really not going to keep them? This old woman searched for a long time before finding these girls. There aren't many girls worth looking at in such a small place."
"No."
After saying that, he walked towards Yu Huatang and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Seeing that there were a bunch of people gathered here and it was indeed inconvenient, Yu Huatang followed them in.
Zhao Yan personally led her to his room, closed the door, poured her some hot tea and handed it to her, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Yu Huatang shook his head, his eyes passing through the window and falling on the people outside the yard.
Seeing her looking outside, Zhao Yan immediately said anxiously, "Anfu might have misunderstood. I originally wanted some maids to do the work."
