"lady."
Konggu brought a bowl of soup prepared by Nanny Sun and gently placed it on the table: "Drink the soup."
Yan Gui had been gone for five days. He had only sent someone to deliver a message once, and there had been no news since then.
"Konggu, when do you think the general will be back?"
Wei Yang would ask this question almost every day. If the Madam didn't know, how could the maids and nannies know when the general would come back
Konggu handed the porcelain spoon to Weiyang and replied softly, "Madam, don't worry. I think the general will be back soon as he finds Lord Xie."
"Yeah." Wei Yang responded lightly, picked up the porcelain spoon, and drank the soup while looking at the scenery outside the window.
This is an ordinary house, different from the solid and tall houses in Yanzhou, and also different from the delicate and prosperous houses in the capital. The houses here are basically built of stone, very rough.
"Madam, these are the invitations we received today." Nanny Li took a stack of invitations and placed them on the table.
Since they knew that General Yan's family had moved into Dafeng City, the families of officials and wealthy merchants in Dafeng City came out one after another, some sent invitations, some sent gifts, and some visited in person. But no one saw General Yan's wife, no gift was accepted, and no family hosted a banquet for the general's wife.
For a time, there were all kinds of versions in Dafeng City.
Some said that General Yan’s wife was arrogant and looked down on the Tu ethnic group.
Some said that General Yan’s wife was still young and did not understand the ways of the world and did not know the interests involved.
Some were laughing at the joke, some were worried, and some were watching from afar with their arms folded.
Wei Yang didn't even look at the pile of notes. She drank her soup quietly, put down her spoon and looked at Madam Li: "Madam Li, when do you think the general will be back?"
Nanny Li lowered her eyes to look at the notes on the table, some inexplicable emotions welling up in her eyes: "Madam, I think these notes can tell us when the general will be back."
Seeing Wei Yang's puzzled expression, Nanny Li showed her the posts and said, "Madam, look, although there are a lot of posts, there are posts every day. If you look closely, you will see that all of them are from families that are not important, but whose social status is not too low."
Wei Yang took it and looked through it carefully. It was indeed true. She put the note down and frowned at Li Ma: "What's the reason?"
Nanny Li smiled at the post and said, "Everyone is just waiting and watching. Let's use some stepping stones to test your and the general's bottom line. If you go, they are just insignificant people. They can neither express their positions nor their attitudes. Even if you win them over, they can't help you and the general much."
Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh, it's so complicated!
She was deflated at once. This was really too difficult for her. She was afraid that not only would she not be able to help Yan Gui, but she might even hinder him if she was not careful.
"Madam, don't worry. These noble families only care about rules and etiquette. Since they want to pretend, we might as well accompany them." Nanny Li couldn't help but speak with contempt.
Wei Yang became interested and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Nanny Li sorted out the invitations in her hand and looked at them. "Since others have sent invitations to Madam, and Madam cannot attend the invitations, then Madam should invite the women who sent invitations one by one. Tell them that Madam is tired from the journey and it is inconvenient for her to visit everyone one by one, so please invite everyone to come together for a small gathering."
