Qingtian nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Uncle, don't worry, my cousin will definitely study hard."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiao Jingzhou who had already walked away.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Qingshan asked curiously when he saw that her eyes were always drifting somewhere else.
"Nothing!" Qingtian scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Since she was at home, she always felt that Mr. Jiao's eyes were always on her.
But when she looked back following that feeling, she found nothing.
Qingtian couldn't help but whispered, "Uncle, is Mr. Jiao really that strange in his temper?"
Ye Qingshan, however, didn't care at all and said, "Most people who are truly capable have strange tempers.
"Uncle, let me tell you something in secret. Only someone like Mr. Jiao can control those two devils in my family!"
But after hearing what he said, the idea that Mr. Jiao had a strange personality became more and more rooted in Qingtian's mind.
Qingtian was whispering to Ye Qingshan here.
As soon as Old Lady Ye, Mrs. Ye's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Ye's second sister-in-law, and Mrs. Shao went out, they saw a carriage parked in the alley not far from the door.
Mrs. Ye was very surprised and went over and asked, "Miss Zhou, when did you come here? Why didn't you come into the house?"
Miss Zhou naturally came to visit Ye Lao Si.
But when she found out there were guests at home, she felt embarrassed to go in.
I originally thought that the guests would leave soon, so I asked the coachman to park the carriage in the alley, and I stayed in the carriage, taking a rest while waiting.
I didn't expect that the wait would last for more than half an hour.
If Qiuyun hadn't been there to talk to her, Miss Zhou would have almost fallen asleep while waiting in the car.
Watching Mrs. Ye go up to talk to Miss Zhou, Mrs. Shao whispered to Mrs. Ye on the other side.
"Auntie, who is this girl? She is so beautiful?"
"Your sister-in-law met her when she participated in a cooking competition. She helped your sister-in-law at that time. She is a very kind girl.
"She even came all the way to the village to learn how to cook from your sister-in-law.
"Fortunately, your sister-in-law will soon be opening a dumpling restaurant in Beijing. It will be much more convenient for her to come here every time to learn how to cook."
Because it concerned the reputation of another girl, Old Mrs. Ye did not dare to speak out about her family's speculations.
But Shaw still saw the key at a glance.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Auntie, is this Miss Zhou really coming to our house just to learn cooking from my sister-in-law?
"Why do I feel like she has other intentions?"
"Oh, stop talking nonsense, it's not good if it gets out." Old Madam Ye sighed, "It's all my fault. I looked down on Guo and should have firmly opposed that marriage.
"As a result, the fourth child felt inferior and unworthy of her, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"People came to visit him, but not only did he refuse to see them, he even forbade us to inquire about the Zhou family's situation."
When Old Mrs. Ye talked about this matter, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
Shao said, "Oh, this isn't a simple matter. You want to find out about the Zhou family, right? Leave it to me."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll be able to give you a definite answer in a few days!"
"Is it true? Don't ask so loudly.
"If her parents don't agree, don't make it difficult for Miss Zhou."
"Auntie, you can rest assured." Shao said with a smile, "When I was at the border, my favorite thing to do was to help people get married.
“I have brought together dozens, if not hundreds, of couples.
"I'm the best at matchmaking.
"Auntie, just wait and hear my news."
After seeing off all the guests, Mrs. Ye quickly pulled Miss Zhou into the house.
“Come on, kid, even if you’re embarrassed to come in directly, you can let Qiuyun come in and say hello!
"Why are you waiting outside so stubbornly?"
Miss Zhou lowered her eyes embarrassedly and said, "I just came to bother you without any hesitation, so how can I bother you to entertain guests?
"I feel like I'm causing you too much trouble."
"Whether it's troublesome or not, it's me who's embarrassed.
"Look at you, you always come with bags, never empty-handed.
"But we don't even know where your home is, so we don't know how to return the favor."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye Er came up and said, "How about this? Miss Zhou, please come in. I'll take your measurements and make you a summer dress."
Qiuyun said beside her, "It turns out that Second Sister Ye has such a skill!"
Sister Ye said, "That's right! Your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is excellent. Come in and take your measurements, choose some material, and ask her to make you a good one!"
When Miss Zhou heard the three words "your second sister-in-law", her face turned red with shame and she could not hear anything else. She was led into the house by Sister Ye in a daze.
On the other side, Shao followed Ye Qingshan back to the general's mansion. The first important thing she did was to quickly order people to start cleaning and arranging the yard, hoping to invite Mr. Jiao to her house as soon as possible.
At the same time, she did not forget the task she had taken on.
With the help of Ye Qingshan's men, they found out the situation of several generations of the Zhou family in just one day.
The next night, when Ye Qingshan returned home for dinner, Shao sat next to him, helping him serve rice and pick up dishes while talking about this incident.
"I've asked people to find out everything. The Zhou family doesn't have any distinguished family background. They just come from a merchant family.
