Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 617 The County Magistrate’s Wife (2)

Gu Panxiachao, the county magistrate's wife, slightly brushed her body and said, "The daughter of the people has seen the madam!"

When the county magistrate's wife saw her, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and then helped her sit next to her.

The county magistrate's wife looked her up and down, nodded secretly and said: "Not bad, not bad, the child of Yuan'er is just right!"

This distant sound made Gu Panxia stunned.

Emotions, does this county magistrate’s wife know Lu Yuan?

"Does Madam know Lu Yuan?"

The originally gentle eyes of the county magistrate's wife suddenly softened a little when she mentioned Lu Yuan.

She seemed to be remembering the past, her eyes were slightly empty and she said: "Yes, when I met him, he was only ten years old. Now it has been seven years, and I don't know what he is like!"

Gu Panxia was a little surprised, feeling, this lady, hasn't seen Lu Yuan for a long time?

She smiled and said: "He is very good, madam is worried!"

In fact, she was very curious about the relationship between this lady and Lu Yuan.

"When the princess first left, Fang Niang and I took him with us. Later, I got married and never saw him again."

Seeing the two people talking, the others asked the maid to move chairs to the garden in the backyard to sit, leaving space for the two of them.

"Does Madam also know Aunt Fang?"

"Aunt Fang?" The county magistrate's wife was overjoyed when she heard this, "Have you met Fang Niang? How is she doing now?"

At that time, she chose to get married, but Aunt Fang chose to stay with Lu Yuan. Later, her husband was sent to serve as an official elsewhere, and the two have never seen each other since then.

"When I went to Beijing some time ago, I stayed with her for a while. Madam, don't worry, Aunt Fang is doing very well!"

The county magistrate's wife nodded repeatedly and said with tears in her eyes: "That's good! That's good!"

Gu Panxia asked tentatively: "So, Madam, it turned out that she was also someone close to Princess Wanlian?"

The county magistrate's wife nodded and said with a red-eyed smile: "Yes, the princess treated us like sisters at that time!"

She seemed to have remembered something, so she took Gu Panxia's hand and said kindly, "Girl, just call me Aunt Hong from now on. There's no need to be so unfamiliar."

Gu Panxia hummed, and then called Aunt Fang with a smile.

The county magistrate's wife patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "You are a good boy, and Yuan'er is also a good boy. In the future, we must understand and support each other."

Gu Panxia nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Aunt Hong, I know."

"Let's go, everyone is out. It's not good for us to stay in there for too long. We have a free day, so we can go to the Yamen to see Aunt Hong and talk to Aunt Hong."

Gu Panxia nodded again, helped the county magistrate's wife get up, and the two of them walked to the backyard garden.

It was early spring at this time, and the winter jasmine flowers in the backyard were in full bloom, swaying in the wind, which looked quite strange.

In addition to winter jasmine, there are also many mixed flowers blooming in staggered patterns, which are very beautiful.

In the pavilion in the distance, Zhou, He Rou and others were sitting inside, drinking tea, talking and laughing.

Seeing the two people approaching, he hurriedly stood up to greet them. He also asked the maid to bring two chairs and serve some fruits and snacks.

A few people chatted and laughed for a long time, and while they were enjoying themselves, they saw a rich man wearing a dark blue pleated skirt walking over with a smile on his face.

When He Rou saw the person coming, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Mrs. He took her hand and smiled at the county magistrate's wife: "Oh! There are so many customers in front of me that I can't get away for a while. I hope the county magistrate's wife and the in-laws' wives won't be offended!"

The county magistrate's wife smiled and said: "There are a lot of people here. I understand that you are busy. Please sit down quickly and have a cup of tea."

After Mrs. He thanked him, she sat down next to He Rou. He Rou poured her a cup of hot tea herself. After she drank it, she asked, "Where is daddy? Are you still busy?"

Mrs. He glanced at her and smiled helplessly: "No, I'm busy drinking with my father-in-law and the county magistrate."

He Rou seemed to think of Zhou Zheng, and her face turned crimson again.

Gu Panxia couldn't help but sigh that her sister-in-law seemed to love blushing.

"Hey! Is this girl...?"

Mrs. He had just been busy apologizing to the county magistrate's wife, but she didn't notice Gu Panxia beside her. Only when she sat down did she realize that there was a pretty little girl here.

Gu Panxia smiled politely and said: "Hello, Mrs. He! This junior is Panxia."

"Pan Xia?" Mrs. He was surprised, "So you are the girl Rou'er often mentioned? You are so handsome. How old are you? Are you married?"

She only knew that Gu Panxia was He Rou's friend, but she didn't know about her relationship with the Zhou family.

Her natal family has a nephew who is good-looking and good-looking. He is now sixteen but has not yet been engaged, so when he met Gu Panxia and saw that she was well-behaved and handsome, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

"Mom!" He Rou frowned slightly. She looked at Gu Panxia and said, "Xiaoxia, my mother is like this, don't worry about it!"

Gu Panxia smiled and shook her head, "Mrs. He has a bold personality, Panxia understands!"

Mrs. Zhou glared at Panxia and smiled at Mrs. He: "Madam, this is my eldest daughter Panxia. She is fourteen years old and has been betrothed to someone else."

Before Mrs. He could react, she heard the county magistrate's wife say with a smile: "Mrs. He doesn't know something. Hope Xia is betrothed to is Lu Yuan, the young master of the current mighty General's Mansion."

"Lu...Young Master Lu?"

Mrs. He was shocked, dear, the person this girl is betrothed to has such a powerful background!

wrong! Mrs. Zhou just said that this is her daughter. In other words, she is Young Master Lu's future mother-in-law?

"It turns out we are a family, look at me being so confused..."

Mrs. He slapped her forehead in frustration.

She secretly pinched He Rou's waist and whispered: "Girl, why don't you tell your mother clearly?"

It was really embarrassing for her to ask such a thing in front of her own mother.

"Mom, what do you want me to say?"

She didn't know that she would marry Zhou Zheng one day!

The group sat and chatted for a while before the county magistrate's wife stood up and said with a smile:

"It's getting late. It's time for the children to get out of school and it's time for me to go back."

Mrs. He took a look at the sky and saw that the sun had turned slightly to the west. She hurriedly smiled and said: "Look at me, I forget the time when we are chatting. It has wasted Madam's time!"

The county magistrate's wife smiled brightly and did not blame her. She took Gu Panxia's hand and smiled softly, "Remember to go find Aunt Hong when you have time, and go with Miss He."

Gu Panxia nodded, and He Rou also brushed her body.

"Just sit down, there's no need to send it away!"

Seeing that the group was about to get up, the county magistrate's wife hurriedly stopped them.

Mrs. He ordered: "Ran'er, Liu'er, send Madam out, Haosheng will lead the way."

The two of them crouched down to respond, and then led the county magistrate's wife away.

As soon as the county magistrate's wife left, the other ladies couldn't sit still. They all found excuses and got up and left.

Mrs. He didn't do much to stop her, she just politely said a few words and then gave up.

Mrs. He also knew the purpose behind why these people came back today.

Their family is considered wealthy in Qingyou Town, but they are not so popular yet. The reason why these people come here is not because of the wine.
