Chapter 1125 What is her relationship with the Yao family?
Yao Tianqin thought about the chaotic state of the Ministry of Works and ultimately decided not to insist any further.
He nodded. "Okay, then Ayu, please sit down first. We can talk about it later."
After saying that, before Shu Yu could react, he had already walked away quickly.
Shu Yu was pulled down to sit down and talk by Madam Yao again.
Yao An and Yao Hong both breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they almost thought that Madam Yao was going to bring up the matter of how they had driven the people away last time.
Although Yao Tianqin was somewhat honest and simple-minded, Yao An and his sister were still a little afraid of him. He was now the Vice Minister of Works, and they dared not be presumptuous. Moreover, they wanted to ask him for a favor.
Now that he's busy, they feel relieved and have time to take a closer look at Shu Yu.
Madam Yao and her daughter-in-law were very warm towards Shu Yu; their affection was so great that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a daughter of the Yao family.
What is this girl's background?
Yao An wanted to ask, but they were talking so excitedly that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Yao Hong, however, was spoiled and arrogant. Ignoring what others were saying, she interrupted, "Auntie, you haven't introduced this girl to us yet. What is her relationship with our Yao family?"
Madam Yao frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Madam Kang was somewhat annoyed. Unlike Madam Yao, she was not composed. She raised her head sarcastically and said, "You mean A-Yu? She is a Lady of the Township, bestowed by the Emperor. You know about the hot packs, right? Those were presented by our A-Yu, and the Emperor praised them highly."
Township Lord?
Heating pack?
The Yao siblings were taken aback. This girl, who only had one servant by her side and could even sit in the lower cabin of a boat, was... a village lady?
Both the Yao siblings and Wang Jiayi changed their expressions at this moment.
Kang was pleased to see them take a few steps back, and inwardly snorted coldly.
She ignored them and turned to talk to Shuyu.
They asked Shu Yu what her plans were for coming to the capital. Naturally, Shu Yu couldn't bring up the matter of Gongqiu, so she simply said, "I just finished taking care of things at home, and I have a friend in the capital on business, so I came to visit him and also to see what it's like."
Shu Yu pointed to the gift boxes placed to the side, "These were prepared by my parents. They are local specialties from our area, and they insisted that I send them to you so you can try them."
"You're too kind," Madam Yao waved her hand, but her smile was radiant.
"You're too kind. You even sent me a birthday gift earlier."
Madam Yao asked her, "Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it."
"Speaking of which, we owe this all to Lord Qi. Your sister-in-law and I had prepared the coming-of-age gift, but we originally planned to send it to the southwest. Who knew you had all returned to Dong'an Prefecture, and we didn't know your home address at the time. By the time we found out, the journey was too far, and it was too late. Fortunately, Lord Qi also sent you a birthday gift. He has connections and delivered the gifts directly to Magistrate Xiang at the county office, which is how you made it in time for your birthday."
The old woman standing nearby was stunned. A birthday gift? She knew about it; she had heard the madam and young mistress mention it a few months ago, saying that a close friend of hers was about to turn 18 and they needed to prepare some congratulatory gifts.
However, Madam Yao personally selected all those items, prepared them, and then had them delivered to others. Madam Zhu didn't know where they were sent.
So that congratulatory gift was sent to Dong'an Prefecture and given to the young lady in front of me.
Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all good health and all the best! Mwah!
