Chapter 340: Your whole family is a toad
Old Mrs. Su also smiled and said words of congratulations, and took out the flower tea she had made as a gift.
Given the Su family's status, it would be inappropriate to accept overly expensive gifts.
It has to be said that gift-giving is also a very profound art.
Mrs. Zheng did not feel that the Su family was rude at all and was very happy.
"I was just thinking of sending someone to ask you for some, but unexpectedly you brought it yourself." Madam Zheng said with a smile, "You don't know, I sent some of the flower tea you gave me last time to my sister-in-law, but she wrote to me eagerly, asking for it..."
As Mrs. Zheng finished her speech, the smile on her face became more sincere. She warmly took Mrs. Su's hand and sat in the seat of honor.
Moreover, he held the little Tangbao and let him sit on his lap.
Seeing this, a group of women from wealthy families became more and more curious about the identities of the Su mother and daughter.
"Madam County Magistrate, may I know who this lady is..." someone asked hesitantly.
"This is Mrs. Su," Mrs. Zheng introduced.
Mrs. Su?
Everyone was quickly searching in their minds for wealthy families with the surname Su near Fengqi County.
However, no!
"Where does Madam Su live?" someone couldn't help but ask. "We could send an invitation later to invite Madam Su for tea, or even go visit her..."
"I live in Daliushu Village, Fengwei Town." Old Madam Su smiled faintly and said, "My humble abode is so simple that it's hard for me to invite you all. Please forgive me."
As soon as Mrs. Su finished her words, a trace of contempt appeared on the faces of many female relatives.
It turned out to be a country woman!
No wonder he's dressed so poorly.
However, there were also a few women with puzzled expressions on their faces.
I don’t understand why a little girl from the countryside can afford to wear natural silk.
I don't understand why the county magistrate's wife values this mother and daughter from the countryside so much.
Mrs. Zheng's eyes swept across the faces of these people.
Of course she could tell what these people were thinking.
However, he did not remind me.
Anyway, anyone who looks down on Fu Ya or wants to bully her will suffer retribution.
Mrs. Zheng was just waiting to see those people get slapped in the face.
**
Ye Mingyan gracefully led the Su brothers to the water pavilion.
Before I knew it, I was walking side by side with Su Laowu.
"Ouch!"
Ye Mingyan slipped, screamed, and fell involuntarily towards Su Laowu.
Su Laowu subconsciously reached out to support Ye Mingyan.
However, for some reason, his feet also slipped.
Then, he perfectly avoided Ye Mingyan's body and fell towards Su Xiaoliu beside him.
"Fifth brother, be careful!"
Su Xiaoliu quickly supported Su Laowu.
Ye Mingyan had no support and his body tilted, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Sister Mingyan!"
A figure ran over from the front, shouting loudly and trying to help Ye Mingyan with an anxious look on his face.
"Are you hurt? Can you still walk? Do you need to call a doctor..."
The visitor asked a series of questions, his worry evidently not concealed.
"I, I'm fine, thank you, Master Zhuo..."
Ye Mingyan said this, but his eyes were red.
It was both embarrassing and annoying.
I feel so ashamed!
Zhuo Yishu, the eldest son of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, felt extremely distressed when he saw Ye Mingyan's tearful face.
"Who are you?" Zhuo Yishu glared at Su Laowu. "How dare you cause Sister Mingyan to fall? You are so audacious! You are tired of living!"
Su Laowu frowned, but before he could speak, Su Xiaoliu couldn't help but shout.
"Hey! Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? When did my brother hurt Miss Ye?" Su Xiaoliu said indignantly: "It was clearly Miss Ye who fell down. My brother wanted to help her up, but he almost fell down himself!"
Zhuo Yishu was furious when Su Xiaoliu retorted.
"How dare you! In front of this prince..."
"Please forgive me, Prince Zhuo." Ye Mingyan said hurriedly, "It's all Mingyan's fault. She fell down by herself. It has nothing to do with Brother Su."
After saying that, she looked at Zhuo Yishu with a pleading look on her face, her eyes flickering and tears about to fall.
Zhuo Yishu immediately fell silent.
He carefully helped Ye Mingyan up, took out a yellow handkerchief, and wanted to wipe the dirt off Ye Mingyan's clothes.
Ye Mingyan quickly stepped aside to avoid Zhuo Yishu's hand.
Then, he lowered his head and said, "Please ask Prince Zhuo to help take these brothers from the Su family to the waterside pavilion. Mingyan's clothes are dirty, so it's not appropriate for her to meet guests, lest she be accused of neglecting them..."
"Sister Mingyan, how about I call a maid to take you back?" Zhuo Yishu looked at Ye Mingyan and said worriedly.
As for taking the Su brothers to the water pavilion, what does it have to do with him?
These two people are so arrogant that he is lucky enough not to cause trouble to them. How could he lead the way for these two people?
"No need, I'm really fine." Ye Mingyan shook his head.
Then, he looked at Su Laowu again, his eyes full of grievance.
Su Laowu, "..."
"Miss Ye, please feel free to do as you please." said Su Laowu.
Ye Mingyan, “…”
She bit her lip and walked away quickly.
Zhuo Yishu reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Ye Mingyan's back.
Then, he looked at Su Laowu.
"Are you that country bumpkin?" Zhuo Yishu said disdainfully, "Just because you think you're after Sister Mingyan? Don't think that just because County Magistrate Zheng has taken a fancy to you, you're worthy of Sister Mingyan. You're really a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Bah! You are the toad! You are the mud-legged peasant! Your whole family are toads! Your whole family are mud-legged peasants!" Su Xiaoliu retorted domineeringly.
Zhuo Yishu, "..."
His face turned red with anger.
No one has ever dared to scold him like this!
"How dare you! You ignorant and unruly person! Do you know who I am?" Zhuo Yishu shouted angrily.
"Who do I care who you are? Let's fight one-on-one if you dare?" Su Xiaoliu rolled up his sleeves, "Do you dare? If you don't dare, you are a puppy!"
Zhuo Yishu, "...Okay! Hit me then!"
He just couldn't believe that he couldn't beat a kid!
"What's going on?" County Magistrate Zheng came over and saw the scene. He hurriedly said, "Old Fifth, Little Six, this is Prince Zhuo from the capital."
After saying that, he looked at Zhuo Yishu and said, "Prince Zhuo, they are my two nephews. If they have offended me in any way, please, for my sake, don't take it to heart."
Although County Magistrate Zheng's words seemed to be an apology on behalf of Su Laowu and Su Xiaoliu, the closeness between them was clearly distinguished.
After hearing what County Magistrate Zheng said, Zhuo Yishu glared at Su Xiaoliu.
Then, suppressing his anger, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll give Uncle Zheng this favor."
After all, he is Mingyan's uncle. If he wants to marry Mingyan, he naturally cannot be at odds with Mingyan's uncle.
Su Laowu looked calm, and took a deep look at the handkerchief in Zhuo Yishu's hand.
A few clusters of elegant orchids are embroidered on the yellow brocade handkerchief.
A breeze blew by, and a very faint fragrance filled the air.
