Sunset Villa, this is the name of Zhuangzi’s friend in Dian Fengnian.
As Dian Fengnian said, this villa is quite close to the treasure cave at the bottom of Yu Chong Valley.
Although he has not yet conducted an on-site inspection, Gu Zhao can determine by visual inspection alone that the straight-line distance from the treasure cave is no more than a mile.
But at this moment, Gu Zhao's focus was not on the treasure cave, but on the two stewards in front of him.
"The old slave's family name is Wu, and he is the steward of the inner courtyard of the Sunset Courtyard. My master said that if you need anything, young lady, just ask the old slave to not be polite."
This Aunt Wu was of medium height, with a rosy complexion and a clear voice. She looked at Gu Zhao with very passionate eyes, as if she wanted to look at every inch of Gu Zhao's face carefully.
Even these polite words were said with great sincerity.
There was nothing unusual on Gu Zhao's face, but he was shocked inside.
Why is Aunt Wu here?
Shouldn't she be from the palace?
It was Aunt Wu who taught her martial arts in her previous life, and at that time, Aunt Wu was an old man in the palace.
The one behind Grandma Wu who didn't say a word but looked at her calmly was none other than Grandma Wu who taught her how to disguise herself in her previous life!
How is this going?
"Then I'll bother you, Nanny." Gu Zhao took out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Nanny Wu's hand.
Just as Grandma Wu was about to say something, Gu Zhao enthusiastically held her hand and said, "We have caused trouble for Grandma. I wonder if the master is here, so we should go and see her."
She really looks exactly like her master! This is the real little lady!
Gu Zhao's heart was shocked.
Little lady?
They turned out to be descendants of the deceased Lao Li, Princess Ziyang's family?
In his previous life in the palace, Gu Zhaoke never knew that the two of them were in the same group.
What is the relationship between the friend Dian Fengnian talks about and Princess Ziyang?
Did he recommend him to stay here for an outing? Did he have any special purpose?
Aunt Wu was startled for a moment, then she accepted Gu Zhao's purse with a smile. "The master of the family is traveling abroad, and it will take some time before he can return. I will definitely bring the lady's greetings."
She took a step back and her searching eyes fell on Yuan Fu beside Gu Zhao.
There were not many people in Gu Zhao's group. Apart from the little cranes, Hong'er Qing'er looked like a servant at first glance. Only Yuan Fu, who was standing side by side with Gu Zhao, was obviously of the same status as her.
"This young man is so handsome."
Gu Zhao felt inexplicably that Aunt Wu smiled a little weirdly, and looked at Yuan Fu as if she had seen something precious.
Sure enough, if a person looks good, he will be popular wherever he goes.
"This is my cousin, Yuan Fu."
Yuan Fu took a step towards Gu Zhao. He felt that the look in the steward's eyes was not right, and he needed to be careful of her being harmful to Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao thought he was frightened by Nanny Wu's eager eyes, so he calmly took a step forward, blocking Yuan Fu behind him.
The corners of Grandma Wu's mouth were raised so high that she couldn't press them down.
"These two courtyards have the best views and the best scenery in our village." Aunt Wu personally took them and introduced them all the way. She was so enthusiastic and meticulous that Yuan Fu looked at her strangely several times.
Gu Zhao was thinking about what happened in his previous life.
If these two nuns are both old people left behind by her grandmother, then in their previous life, they met her in the palace and taught her martial arts and disguise skills. Was it really an accident or intentional?
If they had known her identity at that time, and she was later imprisoned in the cold palace, why didn't they take action?
Gu Zhao has never met his grandmother who died more than ten years ago, so who is their "master" that Aunt Wu mentioned just now?
Aunt Wu observed her words and said, "Young lady has been tired from the journey. The old slave asked someone to help the young lady wash herself and take a rest."
She brought Gu Zhao to an exquisite and beautiful courtyard.
It can be seen that the owner has put a lot of effort into taking care of this place, every step is a scene, and every aspect is covered with effort.
There was already a group of maids waiting in the yard. After they came forward to salute, they all started busy around Gu Zhao.
The smiles on their faces are natural and gentle, their voices are gentle, and every move makes people feel appropriate - this style is not unfamiliar to Gu Zhao.
Only the servants who have been specially trained by the palace can have this unique aura, not even the princes of the public house who have been in the palace for many generations like Duke Li.
With just one mistake, Hong'er was pushed outside and unable to intervene.
Gu Zhao looked at this scene and frowned, "Hong'er, come here."
The smiles on the faces of the maids surrounding Gu Zhao remained unchanged, and they naturally made way for Hong'er to walk in.
…
In the yard next door, Yuan Fu also entered the main room surrounded by a group of maids.
Qing'er was young, so she just opened her eyes wide and watched the big sisters in front of her busy around Yuan Fu, but she didn't have any sense of the danger of being replaced.
Yuan Fu waved his hand to him and motioned for him to go out.
Qing'er didn't think much at all and went out happily.
As soon as he left, the gentle and calm smile on Yuan Fu's face disappeared instantly as if it had been blown away by the strong wind.
It was still the same flawless face as before, but after wiping away the smile, those eyes suddenly became as cold as a cold pool.
The maid who came forward with the copper basin had just walked a few steps in front of him when she felt an invisible force blocking her in place, making it impossible for her to move forward an inch.
Her well-trained smile finally broke, and she looked at Yuan Fu in surprise, who was only a few feet away.
They are obviously the same person, but their eyes and aura are completely different.
Just being stared at by those cold eyes made her feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, as if she was facing a beast that was about to devour her.
The maids who had been smiling and surrounding her just now began to tremble at the same time.
