Shu Yu thought as he stood up to open the door. When he reached the door, he finally remembered who this person was.
Sure enough, when the door opened, she saw Madam Deng standing at the door with two jugs of wine and smiling at her.
Shu Yu quickly turned to the side. “Second Madam Jiang is here. Come in quickly.”
She didn’t expect that the person who came was Madam Deng. Just now, there was a door between them, and she could suppress her voice. Shu Yu almost couldn’t remember.
Madam Deng entered and greeted the old lady.
The old lady had seen her before and knew that she was the owner of
Auspicious Wine Shop. She quickly stood up and said, “Mrs. Barker, you’re here. Come and sit down. I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
Madam Deng placed the bottle of wine on the table in the central room and apologized to Shu Yu. “I’m sorry to disturb you. I originally wanted to go to your shop to look for you, but Shopkeeper Lu said that you weren’t around and I couldn’t wait, so I came here directly.”
The old lady came over with tea and did not disturb them. She put it down and went back to the courtyard to work.
Shu Yu asked, “Second Mistress, what’s the matter?”
She couldn’t wait any longer. It seemed like there was an emergency.
Mrs. Deng pursed her lips. “I know that Lady Lu’s craftsmanship is good. I saw Yuehua’s makeup last time. Tomorrow, I would like to ask you to help me do up a little.”
This was a business that came knocking on her door. Shu Yu naturally did not reject it.
“That’s not a problem. I wonder what makeup requirements Second Madam
Madam Deng pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, “Tomorrow, my cousin will treat us. We haven’t seen each other for many years. However, our relationship is quite good. She…Her status is important, so I want to see her. I can’t be too shabby and embarra.s.s her. However, I couldn’t be too ostentatious and overshadow the main character. I just want to dress up a little to show that I value you. Does Lady Lu understand?”
Although Madam Deng was the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family in the past, because Jiang Yi was not favored, there were only two or three servant girls around her. She did many things herself. Naturally, she did not have much money in her hands, and her clothes were not very exquisite.
After they split up, the husband and wife ran their own Auspicious Wine Shop. They did everything themselves and wore ap.r.o.ns all day, not to mention dressing up.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Madam Deng had dressed up properly.
But this time was different. She couldn’t possibly wear gray clothes to see her cousin like before.
Madam Deng couldn’t say how important her cousin’s status was, so she was still a little vague.
However, Shu Yu was the person who knew the ident.i.ty of Madam Dengs cousin. The second wife of the vice minister of the central judicial office was indeed very valuable in this small Jiangyuan County.
So Madam Chang had come at this time?
Shu Yu had originally wanted to get to know Madam Chang through Madam Deng, so she could try her best to get the vice minister of the central judicial office, who was in charge of the Shu Family’s case, to help out when the time was right.
But ever since she met Xiang Weinan, she knew that she was also involved in the Shu family’s matters. His power in this matter was not necessarily less than that of the vice minister of the central judicial office.
Therefore, Shu Yu decided to build a good relationship with Xiang Weinan. After all, the two of them had already crossed paths before, so why would she waste her time on Madam Chang?
Unexpectedly, at this time, Madam Chang came to Jiangyuan County.
“Miss Lu? Is there a problem?”
“Of course, there’s no problem.” Shu Yu smiled and said, “l probably have an idea. Just come to the shop tomorrow morning. I promise to dress you up properly.”
“Alright, thank you, Lady Lu..”
