Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Not long after entering the mansion, Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian ran into Mrs. Xu who came in a hurry.

Mrs. Xu had a smile on her face and said kindly: "Nian Nian heard the report from the servants that you were coming. You ran faster than a rabbit. I was stunned and didn't catch up. I was worried about you not being with Nian outside the house. I just wanted to say hello and leave, little girl Wan, I’m really happy that you can come!”

Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu and smiled cutely.

"Mrs. Xu, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Mrs. Xu glanced at Cheng Wan angrily, "You kid, you only use polite words."

"I should be younger than your mother. My surname is Mao. You can just call me Aunt Mao."

Cheng Wan turned her head and glanced at Xu Zhinian. Seeing Xu Zhinian smiling and nodding towards her, Cheng Wan called Mrs. Xu sincerely, "Aunt Mao."

Mrs. Xu agreed repeatedly with a smile on her face.

It can be seen that she is really happy.

Cheng Wan was also very happy. She introduced to Mrs. Xu: "Aunt Mao, these are my three sisters. The one in the middle is called Xiaoyu, the one on the left is called Huahua, and the one on the right is called Yuanyuan."

Before Cheng Wan could tell Cheng Xiaoyu and the others to greet Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu smiled and bent down to greet the three little girls without any pretense at all.

"Good boy, you are really cute. Since I am Wan's younger sister, then you can just follow your eldest sister and call me Aunt Mao. Aunt Mao didn't know you would come today, and she didn't bring a greeting gift with her. Aunt Mao will come later. I’ll make up for the meeting gift for you.”

Cheng Xiaoyu and the three little girls have grown up. This is the first time they have spoken to a lady like Mrs. Xu.

The three little girls looked at Cheng Wan nervously.

Cheng Wan looked back and said with a smile, "Thank you Aunt Mao."

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly curled up and he said crisply: "Thank you Aunt Mao!"

Cheng Hua and Li Yuan also raised their little faces and thanked them sweetly.

"The baby I am holding in my arms is called Sui Sui. His real name is Gu Yu. You have met him before. He is the nephew of Gu Yan and Mr. Gu. He will be taken care of by my family for a while."

"Aunt Mao."

Gu Yu looked at Mrs. Xu with his big watery eyes and shouted proactively in a sweet voice.

Mrs. Xu smiled happily, but said: "Good boy, you can't call me Aunt Mao. This requires your uncle's consent."

Mrs. Xu heard from Governor Mao about Gu Yan's identity. He was a truly top-level dignitary.

Even though the Gu family is suffering from this disaster, Gu Yu, the baby's maternal family, is still there.

Besides, regarding the relationship between Gu Yan and Mu Shizi, Mrs. Xu did not dare to go out of her way and let Gu Yan call her aunt, which was really an overreach of her.

"Stop standing here, hurry up, let's go inside."

Mrs. Xu led Cheng Wan and the others inside, talking to Cheng Wan as they walked.

When the servants in the mansion see them, they will immediately bow respectfully and salute.

At this moment, a plump woman came over with several maids and women.

The woman is dressed in purple, with a face like a silver basin, gold beads hanging from her ears, two gold hairpins stuck diagonally on her head, and some other small headdresses.

It looks very nice.

"I've met my aunt, I've met my cousin."

The woman approached with a smile on her face. She bowed her knees and bowed her head to Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian.

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, "Aunt Zhang."

Xu Zhinian also nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return gift.

Even though Governor Mao handed over the housekeeping rights to Aunt Zhang, she was still a concubine and was naturally shorter than Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian.

Aunt Zhang had a big smile on her round face. She looked at Cheng Wan, her eyes flashing with amazement, "I guess this is Miss Cheng, right? She is really an iconic girl."

Cheng Wan smiled and nodded but said nothing.

She didn't know how to address this Aunt Zhang or what to say, so it was better to remain silent.

"If there is nothing wrong with Aunt Zhang, we will take the first step."

Mrs. Xu answered.

Aunt Zhang flicked the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Look at me, I forgot about business. I just want to ask if we want to prepare a banquet? It's not good for Miss Cheng and the others to go back hungry."

"Need not,"

Cheng Wan quickly spoke up, "My grandma is still waiting for us in the city. We need to return to the village before noon."

"Why are you so anxious? Is there something urgent at home?"

Xu Zhinian looked worried.

Cheng Wan shook his head, "That's not true."

Mrs. Xu lightly clapped her hands and said cheerfully: "In that case, just listen to Aunt Xu and eat at home today!"

"Where is the old lady? I will send someone to pick her up. As for the other side of the village, you don't have to worry. I will send someone to your home to talk to your parents so that they can rest assured."

Mrs. Xu's attitude was extremely sincere, and Cheng Wan felt a little embarrassed to reject her kindness.

Cheng Wan turned around and saw the expectation in Xu Zhinian's eyes, pursed her lips, and finally nodded with a smile: "Listen to Aunt Mao."

Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian led Cheng Wan and the others forward. Aunt Zhang stayed where she was and watched the people leaving in the background, the smile on her face fading slightly.

The mother-in-law behind her took a step forward and whispered: "I don't know how my cousin got to know this Miss Cheng. The family backgrounds of the two are quite different. The old slave looked at my aunt and liked her very much." That girl looks like she’s going to be with you for a long time.”

Aunt Zhang glanced down from the corner of her eyes, glanced at the old lady, and said calmly: "That's not our business. Isn't the lesson Madam left behind enough? Things related to my aunt's family are not something we can afford to get involved with. I, the butler, have not yet warmed up, so please ask everyone below to pay attention, and make sure that today’s banquet is hosted beautifully for me, and you must not go on a business trip!”

"Master, the girl is here."

Xu Zhinian's father was half leaning on the couch, his face was thin and pale, but his temperament was still elegant.

Xu Zhishu is also there.

"Sister Awan."

Cheng Wan responded with a smile and touched Xu Zhishu's little head.

Cheng Wan raised his head and met Magistrate Xu's eyes.

County Magistrate Xu looked into Cheng Wan's eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "He is really an extremely smart child."

"I heard Nian Nian mention you many times, especially in the past few days, and she often talks about you. Today I finally met you, girl."

Magistrate Xu spoke slowly and looked at Cheng Wan with gentle eyes.

"Xu...magistrate."

Cheng Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally called Magistrate Xu.

You can't call me uncle, right?

strange.

Mrs. Xu burst into laughter, and she joked with Magistrate Xu: "I asked this child to call me Aunt Mao, but I don't know how to call you the right one?"

Magistrate Xu's eyes overflowed with smiles.

"Since I call you aunt, I will naturally be uncle. However, it's a bit awkward to call me uncle. Girl, you can call me whatever you want, it's just a title."

Magistrate Xu was a knowledgeable and talented man. Cheng Wan only chatted with him for a short time and had a very good impression of him.

But he was still too weak to talk for a long time, and the meeting ended in less than two-quarters of an hour.
