Madam Zhou smiled and said, "I'm late, it's my fault. I apologize to my sister."
Although Madam Li is almost forty, she is very well-maintained. While she may not be as delicate as a young girl, she is a woman with a very charming appearance.
Madam Li gave Madam Zhou a reproachful look: "We're sisters, why should we apologize?"
Then Madam Li turned her gaze to Yunrong. She knew that her good sister had gone to pick up this "cousin". Although she did not know her specific identity, she had heard from Madam Zhou that she was from the capital and of noble status.
This was information that Yinzhen and Yunrong agreed to let Madam Zhou reveal, since without her status, it wouldn't be appropriate to steer the conversation.
Madam Li smiled and said to Yunrong, "This must be Madam Luo, Sister Zhou's cousin, right? I heard from Sister Zhou that she was coming with her cousin today. I'm so glad to finally meet her."
Yunrong smiled and said, "Madam Li, I apologize for disturbing you on your first visit."
Madam Li looked at Yunrong and said, "Don't be so polite, please come in. Let's sit down and talk!"
Yunrong and Madam Zhou sat together in the two seats arranged by Madam Li. These two seats were quite interesting. Yunrong sat in the first seat on the left, and Madam Zhou sat in the second seat, but the first seat opposite was empty.
The women in the backyard are all shrewd and clever, and they naturally saw through the situation. Today, the prefect's wife's "cousin" must be no ordinary person. Ordinary people would not sit in the most honored seat for guests.
Now that everyone knows the answer, things will be much easier. The next topic will inevitably revolve around the prefect's wife's newly acquired "cousin".
Madam Li had tea served, and after the tea arrived, she said, "Madam Luo has come from the capital. I don't know if she'll be used to the tea here?"
Yunrong took a sip, not too much. It's generally best to drink less water at banquets, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing to have to go to the restroom in the middle of the event.
Yunrong tasted it and found it quite good. She couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, but it wasn't bitter or greasy; it was fragrant and sweet, which she really liked.
Yunrong took a sip and said with a smile, "The tea prepared by Madam Li is very delicious. I have never tasted this tea before and do not know what kind of tea it is."
Seeing that Madam Luo wasn't just being polite, Madam Li was naturally pleased that the tea she had prepared was appreciated.
