Chapter 152 Birds of a feather flock together

On the day of the county magistrate's wife's birthday, Su Wenyue made an appointment to go to the county town with Liu Zhao and set off early in the morning. Han Yu couldn't get away, so he had to tell Nanny Chen and Xiao Xi to take good care of Su Wenyue, and also sent news to the Su family. Considering the status of the Su family in Xinye, my mother-in-law must have been invited as well, so she should take more care of her when the time comes. As the wife of an eighth-rank official, Su Wenyue was invited by the county magistrate's wife, mostly because of the Su family.

Mrs. Liu Zhao did not have a message from the county magistrate's wife, but people still had to go, and the ceremony still had to be done. This was an unwritten rule. The people below should be filial to their superiors, and the same is true for them as female relatives.

"Yue Niang, if I go with you this year, we won't have to hire a carriage, otherwise it will be another expense." There were two other men who came with Liu Zhao. They all held some small official positions in the military camp. One was The Wei Li family, whose husband is from the eighth-level martial arts rank like Han Yu, and the Yao Qin family, whose husband is from the eighth-level martial arts rank, all live in this area, and they often play together on weekdays, which can be regarded as a small circle. .

It was only later that Ms. Liu Zhao learned from her husband that Su Wenyue was not just an ordinary village girl, but also the legitimate daughter of the Su family master. No wonder her temperament was better than that of the wife of a wealthy family in the city. It turned out that she had such an identity. I used to think that Su Wenyue was a farmer's daughter-in-law, and I treated her with a bit of contempt, but now I feel a little bit sad about it.

"That makes sense. The carriage is so big that it can accommodate a few more people. We can also chat on the way." Su Wenyue said with a smile, understanding their difficulties.

Among them, the husband's highest official position is only the eighth grade, and the court's salary is only so much. To live on this salary, and to welcome and send off during the New Year and festivals, let alone meet this Shangguan wife. On birthdays, if a child is born in the Shangguan family, he must be filial and courteous, so how can there be much left over! If she hadn't had a good mother-in-law, her life wouldn't have been so tight, but it wouldn't have been so leisurely. No matter how good Han Yu was, he still needed time to climb.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off." Su Wenyue said to Xiao Xi and said, "Madams, sit still" before driving the carriage. Su Wenyue took out the snacks and fruits prepared in advance and asked everyone to sit down. We ate and played on the way, talking and laughing along the way, and the time passed quickly.

The carriage stopped at the back house of the county government. When they arrived, many people had already arrived. There were many carriages nearby. There were servants waiting there. When Su Wenyue and the others arrived, they came to greet them. One of them was the county government official. Yes, there was another one who was a servant of the Su family. Su Wenyue recognized him immediately when he looked familiar. I am afraid that Han Yu had already greeted her natal family before.

"Hey! Who was I at that time? It turned out to be you. I came here to celebrate the birthday of the county magistrate's wife. But you are so poor. You only bring such a few things. How can the county magistrate's wife appreciate you? I'll offend you later. People, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Zhou Wang said sarcastically when she saw Su Wenyue and the others, and Fang Chen, who came with her, the master and servant with high eyes, also looked down on Su Wenyue and his group this time, and just snorted coldly when he saw them.

"Whether the county magistrate's wife can take a fancy to the county magistrate's wife is not something that Mrs. Zhou has to worry about." Han Yu was too lazy to meet Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang was always looking for trouble, so she was not so polite in her words. , although Han Yu is a young official, she doesn't want to fawn over anyone. She has the support of the Su family behind her, and even the county magistrate's wife is a little respectable.

"A group of country bumpkins, Mrs. Zhou doesn't care what they do. It's their business to embarrass them. We should stay away and not be burdened by them." Fang Chen's maid didn't know if she had any special hobbies, but she always She was wearing green clothes. When she saw Mrs. Zhou talking to Su Wenyue and the others, she said impatiently to the side. It seemed that it was very out of style for Mrs. Zhou to talk to them.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhou Wang's face when she saw a maid talking to her like this, but she didn't say anything for Fang Chen's sake. Fang Chen had an invitation from the county magistrate's wife, and she would have to rely on her later. Mrs. Fang Chen took her in together. She didn't want to queue up to register gifts like those ladies of low-level officials. It would be a waste of money.

Previously, Su Wenyue didn't know the details of the Fang Chen family and didn't dare to offend her easily, so she asked Xiao Xi to endure it. This time, the maid in green clothes came to provoke her. When Xi'er saw that Su Wenyue had no intention of stopping her, she immediately stood up and confronted Na Bi. The maid in clothes met.

"Whose dog is barking wildly? It's true that the servants are the same as the masters. They are so uneducated!"

The previous retreat from Su Wenyue's master and servant gave Fang Chen and the maid in green the misconception that Su Wenyue was weak and did not dare to confront them, so they called Su Wenyue and the others a bumpkin in front of so many people. They were making trouble, but they didn't expect that Xiao Xi would suddenly start a fight with her, pointing at Xiao Xi angrily: "Who are you calling uneducated? You country girl who doesn't know how to live or die!"

"I don't know who to blame, tsk tsk, I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue."

"You, you!" The maid in Biyi still wanted to distinguish between Xiaoxi and Xiaoxi. However, this was in the county government office, so it would not look good if the commotion happened. She was also afraid that the county magistrate's wife would blame her. Fang Chen gave Su Wenyue and the others a contemptuous look, and dismissed Biyi. The maid called back.

"Huh, she's just a poor girl. I thought she was so great. No matter how beautiful her parents' family was, it was only in the past. She thought she was a young lady from an aristocratic family. She looked down on people all day long, with her eyes on the top of her head. She did this Who can show you your noble appearance, bah!”

Yao Qinshi was a hot-tempered person. Because she hated Chenshi, she spoke particularly harshly. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Wenyue, thinking that this person had a truly good family background. The Su family was not an ordinary wealthy family. They were also involved in the court, so they were able to get Han Yu, a farmer, to the position of the eighth rank. But they were very low-key.

Zhou Wangshi followed Fang Chenshi to the main gate and saw that Su Wenyue and the others were following behind. The main gate and the side gate were not in the same direction.

"What are you following us for? We are going to go in through the main gate to celebrate the birthday of the county magistrate's wife. You are going to the side gate and queuing up there to register. Are you trying to take advantage of the situation and follow us in?"

"Tsk! You country bumpkins are really shameless. You want to follow our wife in? Don't even think about it!" The maid in green clothes heard what Zhou Wang said and saw Su Wenyue and the others following behind.

Su Wenyue was speechless. Birds of a feather flock together. Who wants to go in with them? She also has an invitation from the county magistrate's wife, and it is a silver-edged invitation. She was invited as a distinguished guest.
