After the tribute banquet, the Ding capital was still lively. Because of welcoming the nobles from the Great Liang and Qin country, the streets were much more bustling than usual. No matter when, the Imperial family of Ming Qi hoped to be able to have a flourishing appearance in front of other countries.
In the Shen residence, the servants in Qiu Shui Yuan were talking about a new topic.
"What is the background of the new Young Lady in the residence? Is it worth Third Furen to treat her in such a good manner?"
"This year's new tea leaves were first brewed for that Young Lady. Could it be a noble person in the residence? "
An old woman wearing a green gown whispered, "Heard that this Young Lady's father and Old General were very close in the past, and at that time even blocked a knife for Old General and almost lost his life …"
A young maid quickly covered her mouth and said in surprise, "No wonder. Being benevolent to Old General is the same as being benevolent to the Shen family. No wonder she is treated as a guest of honour."
"It is said that she is here to seek shelter. Most likely something happened in the family. Looking at Third Furen's appearance, it seems that she wants to take good care of this Young Lady."
"What care. Currently the lives of the people in the residence are stretched to make ends meet, and there is still a freeloader. It is better to send her away as soon as possible."
When the words were said, the surroundings were silent. Now the Shen residence looked good on the surface, but the people inside were well aware that ever since Shen Xin's branch was split out, the money was much tighter, and even the monthly salary of the servants had reduced by a lot. As such, even if it was a great noble, the servants would not be happy if she came over to freeload.
"One do not know why Third Furen is so harsh to us on normal days, but this time she is so generous to that Young Lady." Someone said in puzzlement.
In Qiu Shui Yuan, Ren Wan Yun was sitting in the room at the moment and pushed the teacup in front of her to the female opposite her and smiled, "Newly produced tea leaves, Cui 'er Jian. Young Lady Qing, have a taste."
The female sitting opposite her was wearing an emerald green embroidered long dress. There wasn't any fine embroidery on the long dress. This kind of dress was very simple, and the color was very picky. If one didn't wear it well, they would look like a country girl. However, when worn by the woman in front of him, it was very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
This woman looked to be in her early twenties. Her clothes and hair accessories were also very simple. She looked very graceful and gentle. Most importantly, she had a strong scholarly air about her. With one look, one could tell that she was a girl raised in a scholarly family. Just by looking at her, one could tell that she was well-educated.
Chen Rou Qiu had always disdained that martial artists liked to be genteel and it was the same for humans. Seeing this female in front of her, she had a feeling of mutual appreciation and was more polite.
When this female saw Chen Rou Qiu's enthusiasm, she did not delay and picked up the teacup to take a sip before saying with a smile, "The tea is very light but mellow, the tea leaves are scattered but the smell is thick. Furen's tea making is also outstanding."
"Miss Zaiqing also understands the Way of Tea." Chen Rou Qiu's smile deepened, "The Way of Tea is the best but nowadays there are very few young ladies like you who understand the Way of Tea."
"The cool breeze from my two armpits makes me want to go to Penglai." The woman smiled, "Madam is right, tea ceremony is the best. But Furen should not make fun of me. I am currently twenty six, how can I be considered as a young lady? "
"Twenty six?" Chen Rou Qiu exclaimed, "Looking at Young Lady Zaiqing's appearance, I thought that she was eighteen or nineteen. But it is also good. Even though one has the appearance of eighteen or nineteen, one has the bearing of a twenty something year old. It is really rare to see such magnanimity and calmness. "
The green clad female in front of her was the one who came over to 'borrow the autumn wind' yesterday. Her name was Chang Zai Qing. Her father, Chang Hu, was once Old General Shen's subordinate and at that time he blocked a knife for Old General Shen on the battlefield, injuring his body and from then on he could no longer go to the battlefield. Chang Hu's entire family was supported by Chang Hu alone and Old General Shen felt guilty in his heart, thus he had been secretly taking out money for relief. At that time Chang Zai Qing was still young but Shen Xin was already at the age of getting married. Old General Shen even joked that he wanted Chang Zai Qing to be his daughter-in-law. It was just that before seeing Shen Xin marry, Old General Shen passed away. Because no one knew that Old General Shen was secretly helping Chang Hu's family, after that, the Chang family and the Shen family no longer had any contact.
