Just as Spring Grass had said, there were people blocking their way before they even entered the door.
The girl was a woman of about thirty years of age. When she saw them come over, a warm smile appeared on her face. "I wonder why you two ladies have come here?"
"We are the women of the Marquis Zhong's Mansion, who lives in Ma Village. It is a bit rude to intrude upon us today. Some time ago, we had a maid come over to post a post for Aunt Ruo Chu, but we didn't know that his aunt was never invited.
"Thus, I came here personally today. Actually, there is nothing special about it, but I have my doubts. I have always heard of aunt Hui Ming, so I came here to seek guidance. Does aunt have time?"
The woman who opened the door calmly looked at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Forgive me for not being able to make the decision. I still have to go in and ask my aunt before I know that I have to trouble the two of you to wait here for a moment."
"More." Chu Yuehua hurriedly thanked him.
He suddenly realized that it was normal for his aunt to have feelings for Ma Junjie, but the woman guarding the door knew that her aunt must have been a very polite person.
It was clearly a combination of both taste and taste. No, it was the same!
She just hoped that when she chatted with the aunt later, she wouldn't have to do the same thing with the little old man, Ma Junjie.
He was wearing a lot of clothes. Although the snow had not melted yet, he would not feel cold.
After standing there for a short while, the lady returned. She first opened the door to apologize to the two of them, then said, "Aunt said to invite the two ladies in. It's cold outside, please move inside."
Now that they mentioned it was cold outside, why didn't they say it was cold outside when they were waiting outside?
He really was someone with the same moral character as Ma Junjie! Chu Yuehua was a bit worried.
Today, Ruo Chu was wearing a moon-white goose-cloth shirt and the earth dragon was burning in the house, so even if it was this way, it wouldn't feel hot. It was Chu Yuehua and Du Ruo who came in from the outside and couldn't see through it.
She was dressed as a woman and was kneeling on the ground. In front of her was a low table with an exquisite tea set on it.
Her slender jade-like hand was washing the tea in her teacup. Lowering her head, her eyes focused on the painting of a lady hanging on the wall behind her. It looked very similar.
She originally wanted to greet them, but since the moment the two of them entered, she didn't raise her eyes. Chu Yuehua brought Du Ruo and quietly waited there.
At this moment, she suddenly regretted it a little. She didn't know what kind of person her aunt was, nor did she know what kind of relationship they had. Would coming here so rashly only to be humiliated?
In addition to her resounding name, she had a bit of pride.
After the tea was finally divided, Ruojin's aunt made a gesture of invitation, "This is tea brewed with the snow from the old days, this is for you, young lady."
This opening was somewhat unexpected, but it wasn't enough to make her lose her composure.
As the saying goes, one should follow the rules of the world. Since she was such a casual person, there was no need for her to follow the rules of the world as a guest.
He took a shallow sip and let out a "eh" sound.
"Why?" Ruojie asked softly, with a hint of inquiry in her voice.
Chu Yuehua picked up the tea and took another sip, "If I remember correctly, the first snow of the old year will also come at the end of the winter month. At that time, the flowers have all withered and the plum blossoms have not bloomed. It does not look like a plum flower, but rather the elegance of a lotus. "
"So Miss Biao really knows how to taste tea." Aunt Ru Chu took a sip herself and closed her eyes for a while before saying, "This jar of snow water has been lying in the lotus flower pot all summer just for the sake of waiting for the snow."
"Aunt is indeed a person of great elegance. Junior respects you."
It wasn't wrong to say a few good words!
Ruo Chu only shook his head lightly. "I have no close friends in the mountains. I can only talk about these matters. It's rare to see customers that come out of the water like you, Miss Biao."
"I was just lucky."
Chu Yuehua was ashamed in her heart, this was not her original intention. She actually came here to have a chat with this Ru Chu aunt.
If it wasn't for Qi Chonghuan's love of tea, she wouldn't have known so much. What she knew now was all because of the flattery she gave him back then. Such speciality wasn't something she wanted to face.
"I heard that you have something to discuss with me. Since you've come here today, there's no need for you to beat around the bush. Just say it directly!"
Chu Yuehua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be it was all because of Ma Junjie that she received him? Chu Yuehua was a little surprised. Wasn't it that the little old man wasn't willing to help him?
"Aunt seems to view Ma Junjie in a new light."
Ruo Ruo didn't even look at her, she was still concentrating on making the tea.
As I've come here to live in seclusion, I've actually encountered him with a bit of spiritual energy. It's not easy to get close to him in this mountain wilderness, so naturally, I have to get closer to him.
After saying that, he immediately refilled her cup, as if he had only casually said that sentence.
But who was Aunt Chu?
He was a person of a certain status in the imperial palace of Yan Country, a person who had personally praised the Emperor and even taught the Princess before. How could such a person not pay attention to such an occasion?
"To be honest, I actually have a rather bold idea. I wanted to take action, but I was afraid of being criticized by others, and also afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear the pressure. That's why I came to find aunt, hoping to seek help from her."
Aunt Ru Chu looked at her for a while, then said lightly, "Tell me first."
"Aunt and the old lady are familiar with each other, so you should know that Yue Hua had lost her mother when she was young and lived with her elder sister in an ancestral home.
Every time I think about it, I think about how there are many girls like me in this world who have drifted about like duckweed all their lives. It is only because of their good family background that Yue Hua and my elder sister were able to be so considerate.
Her voice was neither fast nor slow, but it had a sincere tone to it. It was as if she was sighing from the bottom of her heart.
Ruo Ruo couldn't believe what she was about to say and couldn't help but be shocked.
Her reputation in Yan Kingdom was actually just the words "Auntie RuoChu". To those rich and powerful families, she was the perfect addition to their status. However, to those common families, she was nothing more than a legend.
So for a long time, Ruo Chu had gradually set his value on expensive female teachers.
Now, this young mistress who lived with the loyal duke family had come to find him. She had met him with luck that others didn't have, but for this reason.
She did not know how to react. Was it because she did not keep up with her thoughts, or was it because her thoughts were too jumping?
Seeing her silence, Chu Yuehua took a deep breath, "Aunt once obtained the acknowledgement of the late emperor. Furthermore, she is also the model of our Yan Kingdom's women. In Yuehua's heart, Aunty naturally has places that ordinary women like us cannot compare to."
Ruo Ruo was still silent, her eyes misty.
