After giving Zhu Ying an idea and asking Ah Liu to guard the front door, Zhang Shou walked around to the back door of his house. He pushed it and saw that the back door didn't move at all, knowing that it was locked, he looked at the big tree next to it.
Mr. Zhang, who looked elegant and handsome, climbed up the tree with the help of the trunk in just a few steps, then climbed up the wall of his house and landed lightly in the backyard. He didn't care at all how many people would be shocked by this scene.
Seeing that his hands were covered with a lot of dust, he slowly went to the water tank to scoop water to wash his hands, and then quietly slipped into the hall through the middle door.
Finding that everyone was gathered in the front yard, he happily sat down in the main seat and then consciously started watching the show.
The outer courtyard was quiet at this moment.
In fact, this small place is now so crowded that there is no place to stay, which is exactly in line with what Mrs. Zhao complained about.
Three spirited horses, three horse slaves in identical outfits, and then four little girls who were dressed slightly more simply than Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, and were obviously two years younger. They had childish looks on their faces, but they tried hard to stand straight, and looked clean and neat.
Behind Mother Zhao, who was just looking for trouble, were two maids who were trying to stop her. Although their clothes and decorations were much simpler than Mother Zhao's, they looked more impressive.
In addition, there are the two guards Zhu Hong and Zhu Yu who came last time, as well as twelve guards of the same size.
Add to that Zhu Ying who had just come in to talk to Wu, the two maids Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, Old Liu and Aunt Liu and his wife, and Ah Liu who was guarding the door with no sense of presence. There were nearly thirty people in total and three horses. How could it not seem crowded
Zhang Shou couldn't help but wonder. Although Zhu Ying's nurse's words were harsh, seeing so many people crowded here, it must be a big event to take the young lady back home!
At this moment, Zhu Ying, who came in as if no one was around, only talked to Wu. With her clear attitude, the courtyard that was just as noisy as a market became a silent classroom. Compared to Wu, who was flattered, Zhao's face, which was completely ignored, was full of colorful and wonderful expressions.
Mrs. Wu had already figured out Zhu Ying's personality. After she came to her senses, she smiled and said, "Today's lunch is thousand-layer meat pie and sour soup dumplings. The soup is jade belt soup. There is also lotus seed sweet soup in the pot. If you like, you can have something sweet after lunch or after a nap."
"Okay." Zhu Ying nodded with a smile, "A Shou is back too, so let's eat first."
Ah Shou is back? Why is he nowhere to be seen
Wu was puzzled, but Zhu Ying was so confident in what she said. After a brief thought, she finally did not question it, and nodded, "Because of the delay just now, the dumplings have not been put into the pot yet, and the thousand-layer meat patties are not fried yet. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
As she spoke, she pulled Aunt Liu hard, dragging away the cook who had almost quarreled with Mother Zhao but seemed to have forgotten her job. As for Old Liu, this cunning old man saw that there was no room for him to play, so he immediately followed the mistress and daughter-in-law and ran away.
It was only then that Zhu Ying turned around to face the people who had come to the Duke of Zhao's mansion today. Under her stern gaze, she didn't know how many people lowered their heads. But the next moment, she glanced at the hall inadvertently and found that Zhang Shou was sitting steadily in the main seat. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he actually smiled and blinked at her.
