Liu and Zhao were a little surprised to see Xiaoxi. When they saw Su Wenyue, they were surprised again. It was not that Captain Han married a country girl. This girl did not look like a country girl at all. Such a beautiful girl, with manners and conversation no worse than the wives of wealthy families, was not someone who could be raised in the countryside. Her father was a juren, and her background was not bad in their circle. They felt inferior when standing in front of Captain Han's wife, but she looked a little young, probably just coming of age.

"Please take a seat, Madam Liu. We just moved in yesterday and haven't packed up our things yet. The house is a little messy. Please excuse me for making fun of you," Su Wenyue greeted her with a smile. She had originally planned to visit several nearby neighbors after she had packed up the house. As a newcomer, it would be easier to get to know more people and deal with them, and Liu Zhaoshi just happened to be the right person for her.

This area is not on the main street and is a relatively secluded place with a good environment. There are many courtyards like theirs. Theirs has one entrance, and there are also ones with two or three entrances. It is not suitable for doing business but is suitable for living. Not far from the town is a military camp of Xinye County. Many officials' families live in this area. If he can get along well with the ladies, it will be helpful to Han Yu's career.

Of course, Su Wenyue currently only planned to take a walk around the area. The houses nearby all had one courtyard, and the official ranks and conditions of each family were not much different. Su Wenyue would not rashly visit other families without discussing it with Han Yu, otherwise she would be regarded as someone who came to curry favor. It didn't matter if she was treated coldly, but she was afraid that it would leave a bad impression on others, and they would think that Han Yu was a person who was eager to gain personal gain, which would ruin things.

"It's okay. It's too presumptuous of me to come here so suddenly. The reason I came here now is to see if there is anything I can do to help. Madam Han, please don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Liu Zhao was a talkative person. Su Wenyue had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation. He saw that Mrs. Zhao was a straightforward person who knew how to speak and act in moderation. He had a good impression of her and wanted to get to know her. He wanted to find out more about the situation from Mrs. Zhao, and the two of them got along very well.

"Sister Zhao, please try this. This is the new tea that was just introduced this year. These snacks are also made by our maids. See if they suit your taste." Su Wenyue saw Xiaoxi bringing up the tea and snacks.

"Your maid is so clever. This pastry is so unique and even better looking than the ones in the pastry shop. I love it so much. I really have to try it." Liu Zhao said without hesitation as she took the pastry and started eating. Not only was the pastry beautiful in appearance, but it also tasted better than she had imagined. Even the best pastry shop in the county couldn't make such a flavor. Moreover, even from the pastry shop in the town, she could only buy it occasionally. Her husband was only an eighth-rank official with a low salary, and her family relied on that little money to support the family and couldn't spend it casually.

"It's really delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious pastries. Sister Su's family is nice, the tea is good, and the pastries are even better. After eating this time, I want to come here often in the future, not for anything else, just for Sister Su's pastries." Liu Zhaoshi seemed to really like it and ate quite a few pieces of the pastries on the table.

"If you like it, eat more. There's more in the kitchen. I'll ask Xiaoxi to pack some for you later."

"Then I won't be polite. My little devil also likes this. He will definitely like it when I bring it back." Liu Zhao also thought that Su Wenyue was a good person. She accepted the things she gave her generously, thinking that Su Wenyue had just arrived, she would help her more in the future. Although her husband was only a deputy and a subordinate of Han Yu, he had been in the military camp for many years, and she was born and raised here. In many things, it is not just about the official position, but also the complicated relationships behind the scenes.

When Han Yu came back, Zhao Liushi had just returned and saw that the tea and cakes had not been removed yet.

"Were there guests just now?" Han Yu hugged Su Wenyue in his arms as he sat down. He probably guessed that it was a neighbor nearby who came to visit after seeing that someone had moved in, or it might be his colleague in the military camp.

"It's Lieutenant Liu's wife who came over. She knows I've just moved in and wanted to see if there's anything she can do for me. She looks nice. I'm new here and I don't know anyone here, so it would be good to make friends with her so I can get familiar with the people here as quickly as possible. I just don't know what Lieutenant Liu is like?"

Su Wenyue and Liu Zhaoshi had been chatting for so long and were a little tired. She leaned on Han Yu and said that she also wanted to hear what he thought. After all, she was just a woman in the harem. Even with the experience of her previous life, she knew more about the affairs of the harem and had no experience in this area. Moreover, more communication and exchanges between husband and wife, and talking about the trivial matters in life would be beneficial to the enhancement of their relationship and communication.

As expected, Han Yu was very happy about Su Wenyue's dependence on him. He patiently told Su Wenyue what he knew, so that Su Wenyue could have a general idea in her mind: "I haven't been on duty yet, and I haven't gotten to know him, so I don't know much about what kind of person Deputy Captain Liu is. However, others have a good opinion of him. I believe in your judgment. If you think his wife is good, just spend more time with her and follow your heart. Anyway, you are just women's friends, so it won't affect anything. But you still have to be on guard against what you should be on guard against."

"I understand. I will be careful when interacting with her. Also, I've checked out the vegetable garden at the back. It's in a good location, large in area, and the soil is fertile. I'll have Xiaoxi plant all kinds of vegetables there, so we don't have to buy vegetables for our family."

Han Yu was happy to see Su Wenyue happy. He knew his wife's personality. She had recently been fond of tinkering with things in the fields. When she rented this yard, she was attracted by the vegetable field behind it. She would rather pay more rent to rent it. The nearby yards were cheaper than this one.

"You can do whatever you want, but you can kill time, but don't work too hard. Leave the work to the servants. I have also selected two servants, a woman and a maid, who will be sent over in two days. When the time comes, I will train Xiaoxi and teach him some rules before he can be used."

Han Yu knew that the relationship between Su Wenyue and Xiaoxi was different. Xiaoxi had been with his wife since she was a child. When his wife was around, she treated Xiaoxi as a sister. He was reluctant to let Xiaoxi suffer too much, and there were too few people to serve Xiaoxi. His wife was pregnant now and could not be left without someone by her side. He had just gone out to do this matter.

Su Wenyue was still thinking that it was too tiring for Xiaoxi to do all the work alone, and whether she should buy two more servants, but Han Yu had already done the job. She was impressed by the thoughtfulness of this man, which really benefited her.
