Sitting on the carriage, Qin Xiu asked Su Leyun about things at the banquet from time to time.

Su Leyun didn't attend many banquets in his previous life, and after marrying Li Rui, he didn't go out much. This life has only lasted for half a year, and to be honest, it is difficult for her to look forward to the banquet.

But she has learned all the etiquette at banquets and so on.

At this point, Su Leyun can still help Qin Xiu.

On the way to the banquet location, Su Leyun carefully explained some banquet etiquette to Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu was not stupid, and she did not want to embarrass Zhou Mingsheng, so she studied extremely seriously.

The carriage left the city gate and headed for the suburbs.

Su Leyun opened the car curtain and looked outside.

The earth is green, the color of spring.

Su Leyun took a breath, and the fragrance of green grass flowed into her nose. A gentle smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she had not seen such a lush spring for a long time.

After about a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi.

There were several servants standing at the door. When the leader of the housekeeper saw the carriage stop, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is she the wife of Zhou Xiuzhan's family?"

It was also the first time for Yaya to see such an imposing Zhuangzi, and she forgot to answer for a moment.

Lian Xin took a step forward and said calmly: "Mr. Pingle Xiang and Mrs. Zhou are here to visit."

When the housekeeper heard the word "xiangjun", he was shocked. Why is there a Xiangjun?

His expression changed again and again, and his tone became more respectful: "My wife is currently entertaining other guests in the courtyard. I would also like to ask the gentleman to wait for a moment while I go to inform you."

Cuiliu opened the curtain and helped Su Leyun and Qin Xiu out of the carriage.

"No need, we can just go in by ourselves. Could you please lead the way?"

Su Leyun said gently.

Although he had never seen Qin Xiu and Su Leyun, the housekeeper could tell them apart as soon as he saw how they were dressed and how they talked and behaved.

"I have met Mr. Pingle Township, Mrs. Zhou. Please come with me, Mr. Zhou."

Most of the housekeeper's respect was directed at Su Leyun. Qin Xiu knew it, but she didn't feel aggrieved. She even knew very well that without Su Leyun's signal, Lian Xin would not have said that. What Su Leyun did was to support her.

Qin Xiu's heart was filled with gratitude.

If she was the only one coming, I'm afraid the housekeeper wouldn't take her in personally.

Not even much reverence.

The housekeeper bent slightly and did not dare to relax for a moment, leading the two of them towards the village.

It was obviously not a very long way, but it felt extremely long to him.

Finally I saw the courtyard gate.

The housekeeper's steps were a little brisk, "Ping Le Xiangjun, Mrs. Zhou, there is the courtyard in front of us. Seeing that the weather is good, my wife specially arranged it outside."

As I walked around the corner, neatly arranged tables came into view.

In the yard, several ladies were laughing and joking. The woman surrounded by them was wearing a long purple dress, her hair was tied up, and there was only a gold hairpin stuck on it.

The woman smiled implicitly and raised her head, revealing the flower between her eyebrows.

Seeing the housekeeper, the woman's smile faded a little, and her eyes fell on Su Leyun and Qin Xiu.

The other ladies also noticed the two of them.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and said, "Madam, Mr. Pingle Xiang and Mrs. Zhou are here."

The woman in the purple dress stood up straight, her eyes sharp.

She looked at Su Leyun. She had seen Qin Xiu, so she could naturally recognize who was Pingle Xiangjun.

"Mr. Pingle Xiang? Is she the legitimate daughter of the Su family?"

"Now it should be said that they are from the Sun family, right?"

"It doesn't look like he's doing much, yet he was actually named the Lord of the Countryside by the Emperor."

The ladies murmured a few words, then straightened up and saluted Su Leyun nonchalantly, "A commoner woman has met Mr. Pingle Township."

The hostess of the banquet was named Qiao, and her husband, Qian Zuoren, was a sixth-grade Imperial Academy student. She originally had the highest status among the ladies, but now that a Pingle Xiangjun was here, she would naturally not feel happy.

But she would not be stupid enough to show it directly. Instead, she walked up to Su Leyun with a smile on her face and said, "I heard that Mr. Pingle Xiang is very good-looking before. Now that I see him in person, I know what natural beauty is. With this look, no wonder Miss Sun didn't let Mr. Xiang go out before, because she was worried that people who came to ask for marriage would trample on the threshold."

Anyone who inquires a little will know that Su Leyun was brought back from Jingzhou.

Even though Qiao Tingying didn't know about Su Leyun before, after experiencing Sun Jiarou's separation, and after Su Leyun was awarded the title of Lord of Pingle Township, everyone in the capital might be aware of it.

At this time, Qiao Tingying's words were somewhat intriguing.

Qin Xiu raised her heart. She also knew something about Su Leyun, and was worried that Qiao Tingying's words would remind Su Leyun of the past.

Thinking like this, Qin Xiu subconsciously took a step forward and was about to say something when she was stopped by Su Leyun.

Su Leyun had a smile on his face and was not affected by Qiao Tingying's words at all.

"Is this Mrs. Qian? Although your husband is a sixth-rank Hanlin scholar, you don't seem to have any rank. Why don't you be polite when you see me?"

Qiao Tingying's face froze. She really wanted to give Su Leyun a blow.

Even if Su Leyun is the country king, he can't hide the fact that she was raised in Jingzhou.

But I didn't expect that the other party was not annoyed at all and could point out that she didn't salute.

Qiao Tingying bit her lower lip, slowly squatted down, and saluted Su Leyun, "A commoner woman has met Mr. Pingle Township."

After saying that, she stood up.

Su Leyun saw her movements and said calmly: "Did I let you get up?"

Qiao Tingying stood up for a moment and then froze.

Her current movement, squatting, was extremely uncomfortable.

When the other ladies saw Su Leyun treating Qiao Tingying like this, they realized that she was not someone to be bullied easily.

Moreover, Su Leyun's behavior also gave them a disincentive.

Su Leyun was accompanying Qin Xiu today, so naturally he didn't want to go too far. Seeing the effect, he said: "Mrs. Qian, why did you stop? Get up quickly. I was just confused for a moment. Why didn't I say anything? You were on your own. Woke up."

Qiao Tingying stood up straight and smiled awkwardly: "Jun Xiang, just don't take it to heart."

After saying that, she quickly signaled: "Xiang Jun, please take a seat."

She gave up the throne.

Su Leyun smiled and shook his head, "Mrs. Qian should sit down. As a guest, how can I sit in the host's seat? Mrs. Zhou and I can just sit here."

She took Qin Xiu and sat down on the edge. The others saw her actions, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they also sat down silently.

Qiao Tingying looked at her grandmother beside her and motioned her to go to the kitchen to serve pastries.

Afterwards, the maids came forward and poured tea for the guests one by one.

They are all women, so naturally they will not serve drinks.

The fragrance of tea accompanied by the fragrance of flowers in the yard makes people feel relaxed and happy.
