Jiang Tang's eyelids twitched twice.

Could this Bai Tong be the Bai Tong she knew?

Gu Yunlan blushed: "Why didn't you ask someone to tell me in advance, is this the Jiang Tang you mentioned?"

Gu Yunlan looked Jiang Tang up and down.

Seeing Jiang Tang so fat, Gu Yunlan's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Jiang Tang noticed Gu Yunlan's dislike for him and took two steps back without leaving a trace.

Du Zhiwei didn't notice and smiled, "Well, Jiang Tang may be from the countryside, but she's an expert at growing flowers. She grew my orchid well!"

Gu Yunlan did not respond, but looked at Jiang Tang: "Raise your head!"

Jiang Tang didn't lower her head to begin with, she raised her chin slightly.

Gu Yunlan took a quick look and asked in a cold voice, "Have you ever grown flowers before?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Tang didn't say another word.

"How can a country girl like you grow flowers?"

"like!"

Gu Yunlan slammed the table: "I'm asking you a question, what's your attitude?"

Du Zhiwei was startled. She looked at Jiang Tang and then at Gu Yunlan, only to realize that Jiang Tang seemed very distant from Gu Yunlan.

It's completely different from the attitude she had when she spoke.

"Yunlan, what's wrong with you?" Du Zhiwei touched Gu Yunlan's arm: "Jiang Tang is just like that. It's her first time coming to the county magistrate's mansion. Is it inevitable that she will be nervous?"

"Jiang Tang, is that right?" Du Zhiwei winked at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang explained in a low voice: "Miss Du is right. This is my first time meeting the county magistrate's daughter, so I'm inevitably nervous and afraid of saying the wrong thing!"

Du Zhiwei winked at Qinglian again, asking Qinglian to take Jiang Tang out first.

There were no servants in the yard, so Du Zhiwei asked softly, "Yunlan, what happened to you today? Didn't you say before that if I could see Jiang Tang, I must bring him to you!"

"Do you think Jiang Tang is a country bumpkin and fat, so you think everything she said was a lie?"

Gu Yunlan rubbed her brows and said, "I don't know either. I just hate her when I see her!"

"By the way, I remember you said she went to Baiyulou to sell fish before, so did she know Bai Tong as well?"

Du Zhiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yunlan, you don't think Bai Tong would be attracted to someone like Jiang Tang, do you?"

Gu Yunlan was a little embarrassed: "Although that's what I said, Bai Tong is from the capital. Maybe she is used to seeing ladies like us and likes country girls like Jiang Tang!"

"You think too much!" Du Zhiwei poured tea for Gu Yunlan: "Bai Tong has seen all kinds of girls. Jiang Tang's appearance is not pleasing to her at all!"

"Jiang Tang is the stepmother of three children, so you should just put your mind at ease!"

"You said she is the stepmother of three children?" Gu Yunlan's eyes lit up.

Du Zhiwei and Gu Yunlan drank tea and talked about Jiang Tang.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Tang and Qing Lian were also asking about Gu Yunlan.

When Jiang Tang heard that Gu Yunlan was interested in Bai Tong, he rubbed his eyebrows.

On the way here, her right eyelid suddenly twitched. She thought something had happened at home, but she didn't expect it was Gu Yunlan.

After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Tang whispered, "Qinglian, to be honest, I beat up a lazy guy in the village, and the rumor about me and Shopkeeper Chen spread in the village!"

"Or you can tell your young lady that I can't take care of the county magistrate's young lady's flowers. If something unexpected happens, it will be bad if your young lady is implicated!"

Qinglian's eyes widened again: "Just you and Shopkeeper Chen?"

She also pointed at Jiang Tang twice.

Qinglian realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I just think that you are like this. What do you villagers think?"

"Qinglian, it would be better if you didn't explain!" Jiang Tang was speechless.

Qinglian covered her mouth and muttered, "As long as you understand what I mean!"

"Country people don't care about that. Find a way to tell your young lady!"

Qinglian waited for a while and found a reason to meet his young lady.

Du Zhiwei was originally hesitant, but after hearing Qinglian's words, he made up his mind.

"Yunlan, since you don't like Jiang Tang, don't force yourself. You came back this time for Bai Tong. You will go back to the county in two days. The county is still short of people who can grow flowers!"

Gu Yunlan's eyebrows relaxed: "Then you are not angry with me? You were so kind to bring him here just because I don't like him!"

"Look at what you're saying. Although I brought this person here, what I want is for you to be happy!"

The two talked for another half an hour before Du Zhiwei came out.

After getting on the carriage, Du Zhiwei stared at Jiang Tang's round face.

After observing her carefully, I found that although Jiang Tang was very fat and the flesh on her face was piled up, her bone structure was very good.

The double eyelids and almond-shaped eyes are watery and seem to be able to speak.

She would look good if she lost weight.

Originally she didn't understand why Gu Yunlan didn't like Jiang Tang, but now she understood.

"Jiang Tang, stay away from Bai Tong in the future!" She kindly reminded Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang thought again and again: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I can see that Miss Gu doesn't like me. To be honest, Bai Tong likes my daughter very much!"

"Shopkeeper Chen even adopted my daughter as his goddaughter because I almost ruined the life of a lazy guy in our village. There are rumors about me and Shopkeeper Chen in the village!"

"I was also worried that Miss Gu would implicate Miss Du after hearing about it, so I asked Qinglian to tell you!"

Du Zhiwei was surprised. She had met Shopkeeper Chen several times. Shopkeeper Chen looked smiling, but he was actually very thoughtful.

Not to mention Bai Tong. Although I have only met him once, I can tell that Bai Tong is not easy to approach.

Du Zhiwei broke out in a cold sweat.

I was even more glad that I didn't persuade Gu Yunlan just now, and I was also glad that Jiang Tang reminded me.

Du Zhiwei liked Jiang Tang more and more: "Don't take this matter to heart. Miss Gu's home is in the county town. She came back this time because of Bai Tong. She will go back after Bai Tong leaves in a few days!"

"I know a lot of people. If you want, I can introduce you to others!"

Jiang Tang thanked him and took out the mosquito coils he had prepared: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Du. This is the mosquito coil I made myself!"

Du Zhiwei looked at the mosquito coil that was coiling like a snake, and put it under his nose and smelled it.

“It smells like mugwort and realgar!”

"Yes!"

Jiang Tang added: "This is my first time making mosquito coils. I use them myself and the effect is quite good. Miss Du can try it. If you like it, I can add some other pollen to it next time!"

It was the first time that Du Zhiwei saw mosquito coils. He heard that mosquito coils were more effective than mugwort, so he accepted them.

When passing by Baiyu Tower, he put Jiang Tang down.

The carriage had not gone far, Du Zhiwei lifted the curtain and looked at the lobby of Baiyu Tower.

Qinglian asked curiously, "Miss, you don't think that Master Bai will be interested in Jiang Tang, do you?"

Anyway, she doesn't believe it!
