She led Xiao Yunying to gracefully bow to Madam Luo, and then asked Granny Chang if she could help her prepare two rooms.
After seeing Xiao Yunying nod, Granny Chang led Meng Chun and Meng Xia to bow and tidy up the room.
Zuo Lanzhi happily spun around and picked up Luo Xin, who was watching the commotion by the door, saying, "Little Xin, I brought you a gift. Let's go see it together."
Luo Xin quite liked this pretty older sister and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, older sister."
Zuo Lanzhi shook her head: "You can't call me sister, that would be too disrespectful. I should call your mother sister, so you should call me aunt."
Luo Xin wasn't quite familiar with these generational distinctions, but seeing that her mother didn't object, she changed her address and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're such a good girl. Come on, let's see what good things I brought you."
As Zuo Qingzhi passed by Luo Sheng, who had just come out, she greeted him cheerfully and clearly as her brother-in-law before walking past.
Luo Sheng simply hummed in response, his expression unchanging, but inwardly he thought his wife's younger sister was quite likable.
On the contrary, Xiao Yunying blushed slightly upon hearing this address and quickly pulled Zuo Qingzhi to the room prepared for them.
Even uninhabited rooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. They're not dirty; a simple dusting is enough to make them habitable. The bedding was taken out to air in the sun. The two of them didn't bring any servants, so they unpacked their luggage themselves.
Because of their arrival, Xiao Yunying prepared a sumptuous lunch at noon, which satisfied Zuo Qingzhi's cravings and broadened Zuo Ningyuan's horizons.
"I had heard that my elder sister's family grows many novel vegetables from overseas. In addition, my elder sister is a good cook and makes delicious food. Lanzhi talks about it to me every day at home. Today, after tasting it, I realized that Lanzhi was not exaggerating. My elder sister's cooking is indeed delicious."
Zuo Lanzhi swallowed the food in her mouth: "You didn't believe me when I told you, but now you know I'm telling the truth, right? Big sister's cooking is even better than the imperial chef's."
Xiao Yunying ladled out some soup and placed it in front of the two of them: "Stop flattering me, you two. Eat up, but don't overeat or you'll upset your stomachs. Tell me what you want to eat these next few days, and I'll try my best to make it for you."
Zuo Lanzhi smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Then thank you very much, big sister."
Compared to her, Zuo Ningyuan's eating manners were much more refined, and his speed was also quite fast, which surprised Xiao Yunying.
How can anyone maintain both their composure and speed at the same time? These twins truly have their own unique strengths.
However, her feelings towards this younger brother, whom she was meeting for the first time, were similar to those of Zuo Qingzhi.
The other person was always gentle and polite, never making her feel disgusted, and even a little bit of goodwill towards them, which made her unconsciously soften her tone and attitude towards them.
She figured that the siblings wouldn't be staying here for long and would be returning to the capital in a few days, so it wouldn't hurt to treat them well as guests.
As for the Minister's residence... let's just separate the brother and sister and treat them as two separate individuals.
