When Zhou Chen arrived at the frontier, Zhou Xu, who set out from Tokyo, also arrived safely in Yangzhou City.
Mrs. Zhou Xu did not delay. She first sent someone to the Sheng Mansion, and then she drove slowly in a carriage. Because she arrived in the afternoon, Sheng Hong was not at home at this time.
In Wei Ruixuan, Mrs. Wang was educating her daughter Ru Lan. The little girl was naughty again today and broke the tableware, which made her very angry.
"Madam, madam, the concierge has sent word that there is a distinguished person outside the door who has sent a greeting card."
Mrs. Wang looked surprised: "Someone is sending a greeting card? The Lantern Festival has just passed, who would send a greeting card?"
If you are an acquaintance, you don’t need to send a greeting card at all, just let someone inform you. Sending a greeting card means formality.
Mrs. Wang took the greeting card and when she saw it, she suddenly screamed, frightening the mother Liu who was serving her so much.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Ruofu pointed to the greeting card with slightly trembling hands: "Quick, Mother Liu, help me to Shou'an Hall. No, you first have someone go and notify the officials. Just say that the eldest lady of Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion has come to Yangzhou. She will be there soon."
Go to Sheng Mansion and ask him to come back quickly, while I go to Shou'an Hall."
Liu's mother looked shocked: "The eldest lady of the Marquis Zhongjing's residence? She is the mother of Young Master Zhou. Why did she pay a sudden visit?"
Wang Ruofu: "How do I know? I guess it's for the sake of the old lady. Don't talk about it. I'll be here soon. You need to arrange for someone to notify the officials first."
"Yes, madam."
Liu's mother hurriedly went to find someone, but Wang Ruofu didn't bother to teach Rulan a lesson and ran to Shou'antang. He looked panicked as if he had encountered something big.
Wang Ruofu came to Shou'an Hall and started shouting before anyone could see him.
"Mother, mother."
When Old Mrs. Sheng saw Wang Ruofu running in in a panic, she snorted with dissatisfaction: "You are the eldest lady in the house, look at what you look like now? How can you still be the mistress of the house?"
style?"
Wang Ruofu reflexively retorted: "What kind of mistress am I?"
Old Mrs. Sheng put the teacup on the table angrily, very dissatisfied.
Hua Lan hurried to her mother's side and whispered, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Then he excused his mother: "Grandma, my mother is not like this usually. Something must have happened."
Wang Ruofu came to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, mother, something big really happened. The lady from Marquis Zhongjing's residence sent a greeting card. Take a look."
With that said, he stepped forward and handed the greeting card to Mrs. Sheng, whose expression changed drastically.
Mrs. Sheng took the invitation and read it over. She was not as surprised as when she heard about Zhou Chen's visit before. After putting down the invitation, she frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment, she suddenly raised her head.
"Hua'er, go and change your clothes. Remember, it should be formal. Madam, go and help her dress up and put on accessories. Pay attention to the propriety. Don't be too flashy, but don't be casual either."
Wang Ruofu looked confused: "Mother, the eldest lady of Marquis Zhongjing is here to visit. What do you want Hua Lan to dress up for?"
Old Mrs. Sheng stomped her feet angrily, and said in an angry tone: "You are the eldest lady in the house, think about it when things happen. If Hui Niang just visits me, won't she be able to come again when the spring is warm? Come here now.
, it means that she is not just for me, an old lady. Forget it, I can’t explain it to you, so go quickly.”
Wang Ruofu still didn't react, but Sheng Hualan made a bold guess, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly pulled her still confused mother away.
"Mom, stop talking, let's go first."
Old Mrs. Sheng looked at their backs and sighed helplessly. If she wasn't sure, she really wouldn't believe that people as smart and witty as Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang could give birth to a fool like Mrs. Wang.
's daughter.
"Will it be what I think it is?"
