1856: C1856 Pay a Visit to Mrs Zhou

C1856 Pay a Visit to Mrs Zhou

Because of Gu Tingshen's interruption, Huo Niannian's visit to the Du Family's cousin was delayed by a day.

When she finally picked a present and planned to pay a visit, there were still four days before the exhibition began.

She originally wanted to go with Yan Yan, but he suddenly felt unwell. Huo Niannian could only instruct Yan Yan to have a good rest and decided to bring Zhou Tong along.

This cousin of the Du Family was married to the jewelry merchant surnamed Zhou. When Huo Niannian and Zhou Tong arrived, the housekeeper of the Zhou Family told them that Zhou Madam was receiving guests and asked them to wait for a moment.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Huo Niannian finally saw Zhou Madam and the guest she was receiving - Du Ruoqing.

Zhou Madam and Du Ruoqing looked somewhat similar but her temperament was gentle and her expression was indifferent. Her gestures were elegant and her demeanor was more than double that of Du Ruoqing.

Huo Niannian saw Du Ruoqing and saw a flash of complacency in her eyes.

Huo Niannian's heart sank slightly. She knew that today would not be smooth, but she had thought of this situation before, so she was not too disappointed.

"Zhou Madam, hello."

Huo Niannian greeted her and gave the present in her hand to her.

Zhou Madam sized her up a few times and let the person at the side take Huo Niannian's gift.

Zhou Madam asked her, "You are Gu Tingshen's wife, Little Qing's sister-in-law?"

Huo Niannian nodded.

Zhou Madam smiled and said, "Then we are really fated."

Huo Niannian smiled but did not say anything. Fate was also fate.

Du Ruoqing was also sizing her up and saw the gift she brought. Du Ruoqing could not help but mock, "Huo Niannian, why didn't you tell me before you came? I can tell you what kind of gift is appropriate. My aunt doesn't really like tea leaves."

Zhou Madam patted Du Ruoqing's hand, indicating that she shouldn't speak nonsense.

Huo Niannian lightly smiled, there was no ripple on her face.

Before she came, of course she did a detailed investigation. She clearly knew what Zhou Madam liked and what she hated. Previously, Zhou Madam indeed did not like tea leaves, and even said that she hated drinking tea. But recently, Zhou Madam participated in a tea party. Many famous people, Madam, gathered here and would brew tea and drink tea to discuss tea.

Zhou Madam could be said to be out of place among them.

Because of this, she was distressed and privately did a lot of work. However, because she did not know much about tea leaves, she often made some mistakes and made other Madam laugh at her.

As a gift, of course, she had to give it to her.

Since Zhou Madam was troubled by the tea leaves, she would help her solve this problem.

The tea leaves that she prepared were all recommended to her by Gu Tingshen. It was hard to ask for a thousand gold coins, and they were definitely the type that Madam and the others liked at the tea party.

Zhou Madam only took a glance and knew what Huo Niannian was thinking. Her impression of her had improved a lot.

But Du Ruoqing was not as smart as Huo Niannian and wanted to make Huo Niannian lose face. She did not understand the situation at all.

"The gift prepared by Miss Huo is very suitable for my liking."

Zhou Madam's voice was warm and gentle, making people feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze. It was very comfortable and relaxed.

But Du Ruoqing was not satisfied. "Aunt, how can you speak for her?"

Clearly, the things Huo Niannian prepared were not of interest to her aunt, but she still wanted to give her face.

Du Ruoqing gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction.0

Zhou Madam lightly sighed and ignored her niece's rhetorical question.

She invited Huo Niannian and Zhou Tong to sit down and got someone to prepare fruit and fruit juice.

"Miss Huo came to find me today. Is there something you need?"

Huo Niannian smiled and said, "I heard that Zhou Madam wants to hold a jewelry exhibition, so I wanted to come..."

Before she could finish, Du Ruoqing coldly snorted. She interrupted her. " Hmph, I was wondering what it was. My aunt's collection of jewelry was designed by internationally renowned designers. It's priceless. Huo Niannian, do you think the jewelry in your studio... Is she worthy of my aunt's exhibition?"
