Chapter 202: Visit

() Li really didn't want to go out on a rainy day. The road from home to the county must be difficult to walk on, and she would be covered in mud. However, if the young master of the Marquis's Mansion came, she would suffer. The Marquis's Mansion was more powerful than the county lord. As for what the Marquis's Mansion was, the head of the family only said that it was much more powerful than the county lord.

Zhulan was a little unsure. Normally, if he didn't come, she would definitely send a servant to notify him. However, the status gap between the two families was too big. Yao Zheyu's attitude was always superior, so it was possible that he would not notify him. "Let me ask your father and get back to you."

Lee, "Hey!"

Zhou Shuren heard the voices of Zhulan and Li talking in the house. When Zhulan came in, Zhou Shuren said, "Get everything ready. Yao Zheyu is a cautious person. He will be on time if he says so. This little rain can't stop a person with a grudge in his heart."

Zhulan took the purse and said, "Then I know what's going on."

It seems that Zhou Shuren already has some understanding of Yao Zheyu.

Zhulan came out and took out two silver coins, "Buy more spare ribs and ten pounds of meat. If you can't eat it today, make wontons tomorrow."

Li swallowed her saliva uncomfortably. The last time she had wontons was three months ago. She asked again, "Mom, don't you want to buy something else?"

Zhulan was very wary of Yao Zheyu. Yao Zheyu had set his sights on Wang Ru. She didn't want Li to make any exotic dishes. Standard rural dishes would be fine. "By the way, buy some more bones. Yes, buy some more for making bone soup and noodles. You don't need anything else. These are enough."

The temperature dropped and it was finally time to eat hot soup. She wanted to eat hot pot even more. There were a lot of green vegetables in the backyard, unlike the winter when there was no green in the hot pot. She swallowed her saliva and started with the wonton bone soup noodles.

Let’s wait for the hot pot. After the rain, according to the original body’s memory, mushrooms will grow on the mountain. Fresh mushroom hot pot will also be delicious. Zhulan swallowed her saliva again. No, I can’t think about it anymore.

Li wrote down everything she wanted to buy and said, "Mom, I'm leaving now."

Zhulan warned, "Don't carry an umbrella today. It will make you tired and it won't be able to protect you from the rain. Bring a raincoat with you and wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Li was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, I'll remember this."

Zhulan couldn't stand Li's flirting with her, so she shuddered and said, "Hurry up and leave."

Li, "........"

Everything was fine just now, why is my mother-in-law so impatient again?

In the kitchen, Zhao killed fish and rabbits according to Li's instructions. Zhulan couldn't do it, so she could only help to boil water.

Zhao also knew that the young master of the Marquisate had come to visit. She was glad that her father-in-law was very powerful and her in-laws were getting better and better. Seeing her mother sitting down to light a fire, she seemed a little absent-minded. After killing a fish, she pursed her lips and still spoke, "Mom, isn't the young master of the Marquisate very powerful?"

Zhulan did not think much about it and thought that Zhao was curious, so she explained, "In terms of status, the son of a marquis's mansion relies on the marquis's mansion. With the marquis's mansion behind him, they will give him face when he goes out. If we talk about individuals, the son of a marquis's mansion has not been canonized as a prince. Currently, the son of a marquis's mansion is a commoner. If you want to talk about being powerful, the name of the marquis's mansion can indeed give you influence outside. However, there are many sons of the marquis's mansion, and the only one who can really use the relationship is the heir, that is, the future prince."

Zhao understood, and it was precisely because she understood that she was disappointed. To put it bluntly, the young master of the marquisate who came to visit today was just one of many young masters. If she really wanted to rely on power, the prince would be the safest, but the prince was too far away, so she gave up the thought of continuing to ask.

Zhulan warned, "Yushuang should not show up today. I just warned her. You should also take good care of her."

It's not that she thought too much. A year was enough for her to understand how worthless the lives of the lower class people were in ancient times. She didn't want to make malicious guesses, but she had to be on guard. The beauty trap of noble families keeping beauties was old-fashioned, but it worked. The beauties who were taken away and cultivated never had a good ending.

She has to be more on guard against Yao Zheyu, the scheming male protagonist. His family is just a scholar, insignificant, so it is better for Yu Lu to hide. Since she has seen through some of Yao Zheyu's true nature, she really doesn't see the truth, goodness and beauty in Yao Zheyu!

Zhao was terrified and nearly cut her hand with the knife. Fortunately, Zhulan quickly held it in place and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we are just taking precautions."

Zhao was really scared. Her mother was already old, but she was bought because of her face. Before she left, her mother cried and told her that beauty is a curse. She didn't want her daughter to be taken away. "Mother, I will definitely take good care of Yu Shuang."

Zhulan thought, fortunately, Zhao was smart enough, and her original body and she were not people with bad intentions. Now Zhao had two children and lived a happy life. Zhao was also a blessed person.

An hour later, the eldest brother and his wife had not returned home yet, but Yao Zheyu's carriage arrived. The carriage of the marquis's mansion was different from that of merchants. Class was evident everywhere in this dynasty, and the size of the carriage and the number of horses were all regulated. If the number exceeded the limit, the offender would be punished.

Shi Qing was only pulled by one horse each time, while Yao Zheyu was pulled by two horses. This was a low-key move with only two horses. The carriages were of different sizes, and there were guards following behind.

Fortunately, it rained heavily today and there was no one in the village, otherwise, Zhulan's house would have been very lively.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan stood at the door to welcome Yao Zheyu in. In the yard of the house, Zhulan had her two sons pave a stone path in the early spring. It was washed clean on rainy days, so there was no mud on his feet as he walked all the way into the main hall.

Yao Zhe took the rest of his time to look around the entire yard. Compared with other houses in the village, the Zhou family's house was quite good. The yard was spacious and clean, and the chickens and other poultry were all in cages. It was probably cleaned diligently so there was no strange smell at all. The family style was subtly revealed, and the Zhou family was indeed good.

Zhou Shuren invited Yao Zheyu to sit down and said, "We are from a country family. Young Master Yao, you have traveled a long way. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Yao Zheyu sniffed the tea. Although it was not the top-grade tea he usually drank, it still smelled good. It was a rare good tea. His eyes twinkled. The Zhou family was indeed wealthy. Although he could not find out the whole thing in one day, he knew the general idea. He took a sip and said, "Good tea."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I am not a tea lover. I only know how to buy the best tea from the shop. I am so happy to receive the young master's praise. The shopkeeper did not deceive me."

Yao Zheyu smiled. This Mr. Zhou was indeed interesting. Everyone would pretend, but he said it all out loud. He liked him even more. "I came to visit you rashly today. I brought a gift to express my apology. I hope I can please Mr. Zhou."

Zhulan went back to her room after the greeting, but she kept listening. She took a quick glance and saw that they were all brocade boxes, so they must be expensive.

Zhou Shuren didn't even look at the box. "Sir, you are too polite. How many people would want you to come? And today you even brought a gift. I feel ashamed to accept it."

Yao Zheyu waved his hand, "Except for the title of a young master of a marquisate, I am actually just a commoner. Mr. Zhou, there is no need to be polite."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that he really wanted to be polite. You said you're not welcome, but your attitude hasn't changed at all. He is currently being cautious and dare not take a wrong step, so it is better to be careful.
