Chapter 303: Lotus and Zhao Yangshi's Stunned State
Lianhua was holding a big bag of steamed buns in her hands, calling Su Zhi. She wondered who Su Zhi was talking to, and didn't know who to help her scoop out the food.
When Aunt Yue heard the voice, she shuddered and her face suddenly turned pale.
"I'm back, put the things here."
When Su Zhi saw that Lian Hua had scooped so many steamed buns, she thought that these were not only enough for lunch, but also for dinner. She thought that all the money she gave was used to buy steamed buns. In fact, even if they had a few coins left, she would not ask for it back. This mother and sister are really too cunning.
Seeing that Su Zhi didn't answer, Lianhua pouted, but didn't say anything. She put the things in her hand on the car and told Xiaori and the others not to get caught under the car. Then she looked up to see who Su Zhi was talking to. She saw Xiaohong and Xiaocui, and Jia Yue'er was blocked, so she couldn't see clearly, but she knew that Su Zhi was talking to this person, because she could see that Xiaohong and Xiaocui were dressed well, so she was even more curious about who Su Zhi was talking to.
Xiaohong and Xiaocui, one wearing pink and the other wearing green, although they were maids, they both wore silver hairpins on their heads, earrings on their ears, and even light makeup on their faces, which made them look like the girls of ordinary families. The so-called ordinary families here refer to the families in this town, not the country families. Just the way they dress and their temperament are much better than those of the country girls.
Lianhua was somewhat envious of Xiaohong and Xiaocui, thinking that they were dressed really well, with silver hairpins and silver pendants. She also had a silver hairpin, but it was incomparable to the other two. Hers was not as good as those of the two women. Moreover, she did not have such good makeup, which made her envious.
But when Lianhua saw the person who was talking to Su Zhi, whom she had not seen clearly before, she could not take her eyes away. She seemed to have forgotten Xiaohong and Xiaocui beside her. She was amazed at the beauty of Aunt Yue. It could be said that the beauty she saw was the obviously precious hairpin on Aunt Yue's head, the top-grade powder on her face, and the smooth silk on her body. She thought this woman was really beautiful. How great it would be if she could have the jewelry and clothes on her head and body!
Su Zhi saw Lian Hua's infatuated look and thought to herself that this little girl was really something. From her eyes, she knew that she was attracted by the jewelry and clothes on Aunt Yue. In fact, as a young girl, it is normal to like beautiful things, but it is not good if she goes too far. As the daughter of a farmer's family, Lian Hua did not want to marry a good man and live a hard-working life, but always wanted to satisfy her vanity by climbing up the social ladder. This really made her unable to write. She accepted Zhao Xiaomei's body, and naturally wanted her family to live a good life. She did not want her sister to go down a bad path, at least the path of a concubine was not acceptable.
Aunt Yue is really not a good role model, but seeing the way Lianhua looks at Aunt Yue with such admiration and envy, she must be more interested in being a concubine for a rich family.
"Lotus, I remembered I need to buy some salt. Please buy me a pound of salt from your grocery store. Here's the money. Scoop it up quickly."
Su Zhi hurriedly took out some silver money, not caring how much it was, and stuffed it into Lian Hua's hand, then pushed her away, thinking of getting her out of the way first.
Lianhua was somewhat reluctant, she still wanted to strike up a conversation with this obviously wealthy woman, but Su Zhi pushed her there, she couldn't just turn around and not leave, that would be too rude, she didn't want to lose face in front of this woman who looked like a noble lady, but she felt resentful towards Su Zhi in her heart.
Aunt Yue looked at Lianhua and turned her head back every few steps. She turned her face away and felt cold sweat coming out of her body.
"Su Zhi, I'm so lucky. I caught the last bun out of the cage. Look, the bun is still hot. We don't need to heat it up when we get home. The boss even gave me three of the remaining buns. It's such a bargain."
Just as Lianhua left, Zhao Yang came again. She was waiting for the steamed buns to come out of the pot, so she let Lianhua come out first with the scattered steamed buns and steamed buns, and then she came out. Because she spent all the money Su Zhi gave her, she felt guilty, so she spoke loudly and happily, thinking that Su Zhi and Shen Zian would be embarrassed to say anything to her.
Aunt Yue was standing next to Su Zhi. When she heard the loud noise, she wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late because her eyes met Zhao Yang's.
Zhao Yang also saw Su Zhi talking to someone. After all, she had seen more of them before. She knew at first glance that Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong were maids from a wealthy family. Moreover, she also realized that the two little maids seemed to be from the Zhang family. She had seen them in Baise Xiu Manor before. She heard that they were the personal maids of the most beloved concubine of Young Master Zhang of the Zhang family. She did not have the chance to see the concubine at that time, but only saw the maids. But she did not expect to see them again now.
Looking at the woman whose face was not clearly visible opposite Su Zhi, Zhao Yang thought that this could be the most favored concubine of the Zhang family.
"This bitch had such a good opportunity to let Lianhua meet rich people, but she actually sent her away. She really wanted her sister to have more opportunities to find rich men to marry, this bitch"
When Zhao Yang saw that Lian Hua was not around, she knew that Lian Hua had been sent away, and she began to scold Su Zhi in her heart. She thought that if this was really the most favored concubine in the Zhang family, then if Lian Hua knew her, maybe it would be an opportunity. After all, knowing one more rich person would also give her more chances to marry a rich man.
Zhao Yang and Lian Hua are indeed mother and son. They are obsessed with money and don't care about their reputation at all.
"Su Zhi, who are you talking to? These two girls are so pretty."
Zhao Yang first praised Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong. She thought that the maids in the rich man's family were much more noble than the common people with no money and power. In order to establish a relationship with the Zhang family's concubine, it was right to praise the people around her more. While praising, she looked at the Yue concubine. As a result, when she saw Yue concubine's face, her face, which was originally full of flattery, froze. She blinked her eyes, blinked again, and then the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Mom, put the things in the car. Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Su Zhi took the things from Zhao Yang's hand and saw Zhao Yang staring at Aunt Yue with her eyes fixed on her. She frowned slightly and thought, why is her mother the same as Lian Hua, who was also stunned when she saw Aunt Yue? But it seems that Zhao Yang's and Lian Hua's stunnedness are different. Lian Hua was stunned because of Aunt Yue's nobleness, but Zhao Yang's expression, as if she had seen a ghost, what's wrong with her?
It's not quite correct to say that she saw a ghost. Su Zhi felt that although Zhao Yang was surprised, she also seemed to be happy, as if she had seen a treasure.
I don't think her mother would target Aunt Yue.
Su Zhi thought to herself, it's not that she thinks too much. After these days of contact, she has already figured out the thoughts of Zhao Xiaomei's family. This is a family that loves money but never has enough. When they see rich people, they want to climb up and always want to marry their daughter to a rich man. She even doubts that if she was not sick, but looked like this, would they want to marry her to a rich family? Lianhua always said that she wanted to marry a rich family. Zhao Yang also muttered to her several times that Lianhua wanted to marry the son of the landlord in the village. But Zhao Yang thought it would be better if she could marry in the town or the county.
It was because of some of these conversations that Su Zhi was worried that Zhao Yang would drag Concubine Yue into the relationship.
"mother"
Su Zhi saw that Zhao Yangshi didn't come back to her senses when she called out, so she pulled her, thinking that this was too rude. She was so fascinated by what she saw.
Zhao Yang was pulled back to her senses by Su Zhi. She looked at Su Zhi and then at Aunt Yue with a gleam in her eyes.
Aunt Yue smiled and spoke, "Mrs. Shen, is this your mother? Hello, Aunt Zhao, I am Jia Yue'er, you can just call me Yue'er."
Su Zhi thought that Jia Yue'er was really enthusiastic. Thinking of her dominance in Baise Embroidery Manor, she felt that she would usually keep a respectful distance from those who were not as powerful as her, even if she was not condescending. However, she did not expect that she would be so polite and enthusiastic towards Zhao Yang, which really surprised her.
Zhao Yang smiled awkwardly, responded twice, and asked: "Yue'er... Yue'er, do you live in this town?"
Jia Yueer said: "I live in this town. My husband's surname is Zhang. Mr. Zhang in the town is my father-in-law. Auntie, I really like your daughter's silk. She is really smart and skillful. You have raised a good daughter."
Zhao Yang's expression froze, and then she said: "Yes, my daughters are all good, but my younger sister was not taught by me. She went to a nunnery when she was young and only came back before getting married..."
Su Zhi listened to Zhao Yang and Jia Yue'er talking, and she couldn't stop them. Fortunately, Zhao Yang didn't show too much flattery to Aunt Yue, otherwise she would have dragged her mother away. She was also surprised that Zhao Yang didn't show any flattery to Aunt Yue, which was really unlike her.
Xiaocui and Xiaohong were also surprised that Aunt Yue had so much to say to Zhao Yangshi, a country woman. Although Aunt Yue usually did not show off her kindness, she rarely approached those who were dirty or of low status. It was the first time that she talked so passionately to a country woman. The two thought that even if this old woman was the mother of the Shen family lady, she would not be so
Aunt Yue spoke a few words to Zhao Yang and then left in a hurry.
Zhao Yang looked in the direction where Aunt Yue left, her eyes flickering, as if she wanted to catch up with her, but in the end, she did not move.
