Chapter 1311 New Cognition
Mingyun waited for the other person to come over and whispered, "The steward of Lord Zhao's family."
Jiang Sheng was speechless. "Lord Zhao? The Zhao family from Pingzhou City?"
Mingyun nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Sheng was happy about his son's growth. He learned a lot from Mingyun, which he could not teach. However, he was not yet at peace with the Zhao family who had bullied his son. When he saw the visitor, his face looked indifferent.
Zhao Bo's housekeeper thought it was a coincidence, "I have met Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang before. It has been more than a year since we last met. Mr. Zhou is even more charming than before."
Mingyun had seen how eloquent this man was, so his expression remained unchanged, "Is the manager going back to Pingzhou?"
The steward replied, "Yes, it was a coincidence. I just happened to see the guards on horseback. I guessed that they were the young master returning to Pingzhou to take part in the provincial examination, so I bravely stopped the convoy."
Mingyun already understood why this steward returned to Pingzhou. The timing was too coincidental. Zhao Bo was afraid of another accident, so he sent people back to keep an eye on him. Naturally, he would show up when he met him. Mingyun curled his lips. He knew his grandfather's temper. His grandfather and Zhao Bo were no longer friends. They wrote to each other twice a year, and it was just Zhao Bo's greetings and his grandfather's brief replies.
Mingyun said, "Your master is very thoughtful. It's getting late. We must hurry."
The steward bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Jiang Sheng waited for the steward to leave, stroking his beard, "I find that good servants can really help their masters a lot."
Mingyun smiled and said, "Can Uncle-in-law choose a capable housekeeper?"
Jiang Sheng put his hands behind his back and walked towards the carriage. "No, I don't have any money saved now. It won't be too late to look for a house when I move to a bigger house."
Mingyun followed with a chuckle, feeling in his heart that he was different now that he had the confidence. Look, he was asking to return the mansion right away. However, he did admire his uncle's state of mind.
In Zhou's Garden, Yuyi avoided the embarrassment again and at the same time held down the elder sister who wanted to help. It was not too much at the moment. If the elder sister intervened, it would be wrong regardless of right or wrong, and it would show that the host was not generous and it would also be bad for the elder sister's reputation.
Yu Shuang's eyes were cold. Miss Shen didn't know what was wrong with her and she kept grabbing Yu Yi.
Yuyi couldn't react excessively, she felt really suffocated. If it wasn't the flower banquet she organized, she would have just fought back. Now all the noble ladies in the garden were watching, and in order to prevent Yuyi from being gossiped about, she could only counter the move.
The young ladies of the Wen family looked at each other with amusement, while the young ladies of the Liu family smiled with coldness, as if these noble ladies with titles had nothing to do with it.
Several people who were on good terms with the Zhou sisters had already helped to make amends, while the others were either not qualified to speak up or had some ulterior motives.
All the flowers in the garden were cultivated by the family. There are very few simple ones. Now I have stopped admiring the flowers. Well, today's show was good.
Zhulan was very calm when she heard the news, and she listened leisurely to the maids' retelling.
Li was anxious, "Mother, this Miss Shen did it on purpose. She just wanted to save face by holding a banquet for us!"
Zhulan, "Yeah."
Mrs. Zhao was also anxious because this was a flower banquet hosted by her concubine.
Su Xuan was very calm. "No matter what happened to Miss Shen, today is something that Yu Shuang and the others need to go through. Only after this is over can we truly grow."
In the past, when attending a banquet, you could retort if you were unhappy because you had the confidence. Now, it is the host who has to deal with it. It's a pity that the host invites so many banquets and there is never a shortage of people finding trouble at the banquet.
Zhu Lan praised Su Xuan's words, "Old Fourth is right."
Yu Wen rolled her eyes and lowered her head to check her clothes. Well, she had dressed up today as well. "Grandma, I want to go to the garden."
Zhulan turned her head to look at Yuwen, "Since you didn't show up at the beginning, don't go over now. No matter how many reasons you have, it's still rude."
Yu Wen naturally knew this, but she didn't want anyone to bully Sister Yu Yi.
Zhulan hugged Yuwen and said, "I am very happy that you love and care for me. Yuwen also wants to protect me!"
Yuwen's cheeks were red, and Zhulan smiled even more happily, now she looked like a little child.
Zhulan let go of her granddaughter, "If you want to protect your sister, you have to become strong first."
Yuwen, "......"
Inside the garden, Yuyi's mind was spinning rapidly. She must not be stage fright or timid, she had to stay calm.
Miss Shen was already irritated. She had initially been embarrassing herself silently and only a few people had noticed it. Now everyone had seen through her intentions. As a result, the little girl, who was three years younger than her, actually took on all her embarrassment.
Miss Shen couldn't back down now. If she won, she would lose face by bullying a girl younger than herself. If she lost, she would lose all her face.
Yu Shuang smiled, clenched her fists, and told herself over and over in her heart that grandma said an accident was the worst solution.
Yu Lu was able to keep her composure. She thought more and finally decided who would win or lose. If she won, she would lose, and if she lost, it would be even more shameful.
While she was asking questions, Yuyi suddenly stood up. She felt that everyone was looking at her. Her hands trembled. Thinking about her grandmother's words, she walked steadily to Miss Shen's side. Yuyi held a teacup and said, "I am too young to drink alcohol, so I drink tea instead. Today, I have a rare opportunity to meet a talented person like you. I am yearning for you. I am young and keep chasing you for knowledge. I am using tea to pay for my sin."
All of a sudden, all the ladies who were doing their own things just now looked over.
Yu Shuang loosened her hand, and after Yu Lu's surprise, the curve of her mouth became bigger and bigger.
Miss Shen was about to explode with rage. Zhou Yuyi mentioned her young age twice, and she knew what was going on. Wasn't this pointing out that she was bullying others? But Zhou Yuyi also praised her for her overflowing talent. Others were seeking knowledge, and her retort was to say that she had no talent.
Miss Shen picked up the teacup and said, "It is my sister who should pay the price. It is rare for my sister to meet someone who understands her. I was so crazy for a moment. I will buy you some tea."
Yuyi's eyebrows curved, "Sister, please."
Yudie widened her eyes. She discovered that her soft sister also had another side. Recalling the times when she was controlled by her sister, she swallowed her saliva and thought, "I can't afford to offend her. I can't afford to offend her."
Yujiao didn't understand yet, and went back to rest after the excitement.
Qiu Shu finally let go of the worry in her heart. She really didn't want to embarrass Yu Yi who was helping her. At the same time, there was a complicated look in her eyes. How old was she?
In the backyard, Zhulan also knew what Yuyi said. Ah, Yuyi and Yujiao live in the main courtyard. Among the granddaughters in the family, Yuyi spends the most time with her.
This most obedient and normal-tempered granddaughter is not someone who would allow herself to be bullied without fighting back.
Li's eyes widened, "Did Yuyi really say that?"
That quiet girl who calls me aunt's niece every time I see her?
Mrs. Zhao was also surprised; she had a new understanding of her niece.
Su Xuan laughed softly, "I knew that the little girls in our family all have tempers."
Yu Wen blinked her eyes, "So my fourth sister is very powerful, and I can be at ease as a younger sister."
What about working hard to protect her sister? No, she has a powerful sister, so she can be a little sister with peace of mind!
