Chapter 1915 Seeing Aunt He Again
It was the neighbors who noticed their distinguished attire and kindly stepped forward to say, "Knocking like that won't work; you have to shout."
Before Shu Yu could even express her gratitude, the neighbor shouted loudly into the house, "Sister He, open the door quickly! You have a distinguished guest!"
The noise inside stopped for a moment, and sure enough, someone rushed over to open the door.
A young woman opened the door. She didn't recognize Shu Yu and asked with great surprise, "Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for Aunt He," Shu Yu said with a smile.
The young woman looked on with suspicion, unable to understand when her mother-in-law had come to know such an important person.
But she quickly turned her head and called out, "Mother, someone is looking for you."
Aunt He ran over with her hands in her pockets, calling out, "Coming, coming! Who is it? I'm still..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shu Yu standing at the door, and the rag in her hand fell to the ground with a 'thud'. Her eyes widened suddenly, "Lu, Lu..." Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
The young woman was shocked upon seeing this. "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who is this?"
Aunt He suddenly came to her senses, then slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my, they really are distinguished guests!"
She glanced at the curious neighbors peeking in from outside and quickly said, "Girl, come in quickly, come in and let's talk."
Shu Yu led Lu Erbai through the gate. After Aunt He closed the gate, she was about to kneel down, saying, "Greetings to the County Princess."
Those who witnessed this scene in the courtyard were stunned. Shu Yu quickly helped the person up, saying, "Aunt He is well-informed; she knew I was the county princess so quickly."
“Your Highness, you don’t know, but when you were dealing with Chen Bing in Shili Lane that day, I happened to be visiting relatives there and came out to watch the commotion. I saw that Your Highness had important business to attend to, so I didn’t want to disturb you. I never expected that Your Highness would come over.”
As she spoke, Aunt He looked up and saw her stunned family members. She immediately said apologetically, "We have guests at home, so things got a little messy. Please don't mind, Your Highness."
"I apologize for disturbing you by coming here so suddenly."
"No, no, no." Aunt He waved her hand and winked at her family members, who all stepped aside and watched Shu Yu enter the main room.
Immediately, they all curiously peered through the door frame, watching what was happening inside.
Aunt He glared at them, thinking they were all hopeless and unacceptable.
Fortunately, one of her sons and daughters-in-law had met Shuyu before. Upon receiving Aunt He's look, they immediately went to pour tea and get things, while also keeping the lively children running around in check.
Shu Yu didn't care about the stares from outside. Since they had guests, she quickly finished what she was saying and left to avoid making them uncomfortable.
“Aunt He, I heard from A-Yun that your brother is a craftsman, and his skills are quite good. The main reason I’m here is that I have a shop that needs renovations and I wanted to ask your brother’s opinion.”
Aunt He was surprised, but nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, my brother is very skilled. Everyone who has worked with him says he is responsible. County Princess, please entrust him with the job. Oh, right, he's here today."
After saying that, Aunt He looked up and called to her son, "Quick, call your uncle over."
Aunt He knew very well that this was a job given to her by the county magistrate. If she did it well, she would make a good reputation, and her brother would never have to worry about finding work in the future.
She never expected that such a good thing would happen when the county princess came.
