Chapter 159 What do you say?
Su Wenyue didn't expect Zhou Wangshi to be so capable. She managed to sneak into the county government office in such a short time and even curry favor with the wife of the chief general. Since the wife of the chief general was willing to let her follow her, she at least had a different view of Zhou Wangshi, not to mention that the wife of the chief general also introduced Zhou Wangshi to the wife of the county magistrate.
Just like the wife of the county magistrate introduced Su Wenyue to the wife of the chief general, the wife of the chief general also had the same intention, wanting the wife of the county magistrate to take care of Zhou Wangshi. It is unknown what kind of luck Zhou Wangshi had that made the wife of the chief general help her so much. After all, the wife of the county magistrate helped Su Wenyue not only because of Su Wenyue herself, but also because of Mrs. Su Anshi. After more than ten years of friendship, Zhou Wangshi and the wife of the chief general seemed to have just met. She was still very unfamiliar with Zhou Wangshi's mention of the wife of the chief general before.
"Hello, wife of the county magistrate." After the wife of the chief general introduced her, Zhou Wangshi bowed to the wife of the county magistrate, and the rules were not bad.
The county magistrate's wife didn't know about the tricks outside the county government office, but she didn't have any dissatisfaction with Zhou Wangshi. Besides, she couldn't not give the general's wife face, so she said a few words to Zhou Wangshi and praised Zhou Wangshi.
Seeing that the county magistrate's wife gave her face, the general's wife was also very kind to Su Wenyue, especially when she heard that Su Wenyue was Han Yu's wife, she became even more kind to Su Wenyue.
I heard from my husband that Captain Han was a very promising young man. He was not only good at fighting but also had a good mind. He knew how to be grateful. It was only a matter of time for such a young man to rise up. Moreover, he was young. Now the court was not peaceful, and there would be trouble sooner or later. If there was a fight, he would make military achievements and climb up quickly.
The general's wife also had a good impression of Su Wenyue. She felt that Su Wenyue not only had a better temperament than all the other ladies, but also had a noble demeanor in her behavior and actions. She was very well behaved and her smile was clean, clear and sincere, which was pleasing to the eye.
As a woman, if it were another woman, she might be a little jealous. As the wife of a military officer, the general lady actually has a heroic spirit in her nature. She is not so petty that she can't stand others being better than her. So she admires Su Wenyue, and because of Han Yu's relationship, she has a desire to make friends with him. Since Han Yu will climb up sooner or later, even higher than her husband, it will be beneficial for her to make friends with him now.
With this in mind, the general lady treats Su Wenyue equally, without looking down on her from above, unlike Zhou Wangshi. Although the general lady's attitude is also good, and she also helps Zhou Wangshi very attentively, the relationship is unequal, and she is giving alms to Zhou Wangshi.
When Zhou Wangshi followed the general lady in to congratulate the county magistrate on his birthday, she was proud. She thought of Fang Chenshi, Su Wenyue and Liu Zhaoshi, and she had many thoughts in her mind. She felt proud and thought that if Su Wenyue and others saw her later, would they be surprised and jealous? Zhou Wangshi only knew that Su Wenyue might know the wife of the county magistrate, but she didn't know the relationship between the wife of the county magistrate and Su Wenyue. She thought that by currying favor with the wife of the general, she was one level higher than Su Wenyue and others, and Su Wenyue and others would have to curry favor with her in the future.
So when Zhou Wangshi came in and saw Su Wenyue following behind the wife of the county magistrate, she felt unfair and twisted again, especially when she saw that the wife of the general was also kind to Su Wenyue, which made her feel even more unbalanced. She tried her best to curry favor with the wife of the general and let the general look at her differently. Why did Su Wenyue get all this easily without doing anything? However, Zhou Wangshi was a smart person and would not make any inappropriate moves in such occasions.
As a "favorite" in front of the general's wife, Zhou was also surrounded and flattered by the female relatives. While she was proud of herself, she felt that power was really a good thing. If there was a **** husband who made progress, she would no longer rely on currying favor with others to have her current glory.
"Speaking of which, Yue Niang and Wang Shi also know each other, right? Your husbands are both serving in the military camp, and you should have interacted with each other a lot on weekdays. I don't think you introduced each other." The general's wife asked with a smile.
Su Wenyue was about to answer, but Zhou Wangshi spoke first, as if she was afraid that Su Wenyue would say something unfavorable to her.
"Yes, Yue Niang and I have known each other for a long time, and we often visit each other on weekdays. I like Yue Niang's personality very much. I think she is like my sister." Zhou Wangshi said warmly, and it seemed like that. In fact, she also saw the attitude of the county magistrate's wife and the general's wife towards Su Wenyue, so she brought her relationship with Su Wenyue closer. In her opinion, she said this to give Su Wenyue face, after all, her husband's official position is still one level higher than Su Wenyue's husband.
Su Wenyue's eyelids twitched when she heard Zhou Wangshi say this, thinking that Zhou Wangshi was not only jealous, but also thick-skinned. When did they have such a friendship, like sisters, or even enemies.
The head lady did not deliberately lower her voice, nor did she mean to hide it from others. She asked openly, so everyone present heard it. Liu Zhao and the others felt that Zhou Wangshi was shameless when they heard what Zhou Wangshi said. Who would be on good terms with her when she was so thick-skinned?
When Fang Chenshi heard Zhou Wangshi say this, her face was filled with disdain and sarcasm, because she was too angry and accidentally said what she was thinking.
"Tsk, she's just like her own sister, she's really good at talking! People nowadays are too shameless, they can say anything to curry favor with someone, if that's the case, why did she want to follow me in before, and when she saw that it didn't work, she changed her attitude, she treated me like an enemy, but she insisted on saying we were sisters, it's so funny!"
When Fang Chen said this, the whole banquet was quiet, everyone looked at Fang Chen in disbelief, this woman must have a problem with her brain, she dared to say this in front of the county magistrate's wife and the captain's wife, even if it was true, she couldn't say it, Zhou Wangshi was the one the captain's wife liked, wouldn't this offend the captain's wife, but she also had all kinds of guesses about Zhou Wangshi in her heart.
Zhou Wangshi didn't expect Fang Chenshi to be so stupid, and she was also implicated in this stupid behavior. Seeing that the captain's wife also heard Fang Chenshi's words, she felt a little bad, and cursed Fang Chenshi thousands of times in her heart, this woman with a sick brain, she shouldn't have been involved with her before.
After hearing what Fang Chen said, the head lady thought about what happened outside and looked at Zhou Wang with a hint of suspicion, but she said nothing. She just kept the suspicion in her heart and looked at Su Wenyue with a smile.
"What do you say, Yue Niang?"
