Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 336 The Concubine of the Age 43

All the people sent by Wen Ze and Baron Jie Fuli to approach Gu Nuanyi returned empty-handed.

Because Gu Nuanyi only stayed in the manor when she went to the store.

Every time I go out, I always have a lot of people with me.

Some of them even tried to pretend to be sick and fell down on the road that Gu Nuanyi had to take to go back and forth.

But they were all carried to the hospital by Gu Nuanyi.

No one received Gu Nuanyi's treatment.

Then a tall and strong man came running over, then fell down in front of the carriage with a cry of "Ah", holding his stomach and wailing, while his eyes secretly glanced at the carriage

Anyone can see that they are pretending to be sick.

Regarding those people's poor acting skills, Gu Nuanyi said that she couldn't bear to watch it at all: "Even if they are pretending to be sick, they should at least pretend to be more convincing."

Half a month later, Gu Nuanyi's shop was renovated.

But it's winter now, and there are no flowers in bloom.

The flowers in the greenhouse that Gu Nuanyi built in the manor are still small seedlings.

Earl Edgar often comes to the manor for afternoon tea

Gu Nuanyi was not in a position to move the flowers that had already been planted in the space.

I have already given the cake recipe to the chef of the castle, but why does Count Edgar still often come to the manor to eat and drink?

On this day, Gu Nuanyi was sitting in front of the French window drinking afternoon tea.

Through the window, I saw the carriage with the earl's emblem driving into the manor.

"Butler, please prepare some more cakes and remember to prepare them according to the Earl's taste."

"Yes"

Count Edgar came to Gu Nuanyi's special afternoon tea room with familiarity.

"Hey, I knew you were here"

Gu Nuanyi stood up and greeted: "Good afternoon, Lord Earl"

"You're welcome." Count Edgar poured himself a cup of jasmine tea

After taking a sip, I threw four or five sugar cubes into the cup.

Gu Nuanyi felt a toothache just watching this, but Earl Edgar seemed to be enjoying the drink.

Seeing the manor housekeeper carrying freshly baked cakes, Count Edgar smiled like an old chrysanthemum.

"Your pastries are still the best. I have learned from the chefs at my place, but they can never make the same taste as yours."

Gu Nuanyi took a sip of the tea and said slowly, "Maybe it's because it's quiet here."

Thinking of the two rascals' increasing tricks, Count Edgar sighed: "They are all thinking about the position under me... They come to accompany me three times a day, saying caring words, but in their hearts they wish I would die sooner."

Gu Nuanyi pinched a cake and ate it slowly. This was Earl Edgar's family affair. If he wanted to talk, she would listen, but she would never express any opinion.

After grumbling a few words, Earl Edgar stopped talking. If he continued, it would involve family affairs.

After eating some cakes, Count Edgar went back. It was enough to have a little leisure time.

Maybe it’s just like Gu Nuanyi said, because it’s quiet here, so even the pastries taste extra delicious.

It is because he likes this quietness that Count Edgar often comes here.

After all, if he went to other places, those people would all yell at him because of his status as an earl, and look at him nervously, fearing that they would get angry if they didn't serve him well.

Oh my God, I am such a kind old man.

Wen Ze and Baron Jie Fuli saw that those people could not get close to Gu Nuanyi.

I was a little worried for a while

Gu Nuanyi is not only capable, but also deeply loved by her father.

If this could pull Gu Nuanyi over, then the originally balanced scale would tilt...

Mrs. Wen Ze: "Darling, why don't you let me go meet that oriental girl? Women understand women better. She is still a little girl. Just say some nice words to coax her. As long as you build a good relationship with her first, her heart will unconsciously lean towards you."

Wen Ze laughed out loud, put his arm around his wife's waist and kissed her: "Hahaha, you still have a way. Then I'll leave this matter to you. I remember there was a ruby ​​ring at the auction that you liked very much. I will let Church buy it."

The lady returned a kiss: "Thank you Darling"

Mrs. Jeffrey also had the same idea as Mrs. Wen Ze.

The two did not discuss it, but both sent an invitation to Gu Nuanyi on the same day, wanting to invite Gu Nuanyi to have afternoon tea and enjoy piano music together.

This is their favorite afternoon tea event.

Watching the handsome pianist playing the piano for them in the sunshine, how wonderful and enjoyable it is~~

the other side

Gu Nuanyi, who was directing people to build a greenhouse, saw two invitation letters. After reading the contents

She asked the housekeeper to refuse the offer for her, and sat there for an entire afternoon in restrictive clothes while eating a mouth-watering dessert.

That is not enjoyment, it is suffering!!

The manor steward nodded and immediately sent someone to reject the two baronesses.

Mrs. Wen Ze and Mrs. Jeffrey found out that Gu Nuanyi was not coming to the tea party and were setting up a greenhouse in the field to prepare for planting.

After reading the contents of the letter, Mrs. Jeffrey threw it away in disgust, as if there was something dirty in it.

"Working in the fields? That's so dirty..." Thinking of her exquisite skirt being stained with mud, Mrs. Jeffrey felt uncomfortable all over.

Mrs. Wen Ze's face didn't look much better.

"Farming" Mrs. Wen Ze pinched her brows. She didn't want to do something that would lose her status.

But on second thought, Mrs. Jeffrey is a very pretentious person. She always mentions her status as a baroness. Etiquette is like engraved in her bones. She always sneers at things that are beneath her status.

If she knew that Gu Nuanyi was working in the fields herself, her attitude towards her would definitely not be so warm. After all, this was something only servants would do.

If I can get on good terms with Gu Nuanyi before her, she will definitely have nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen Ze no longer despised farming or not, and picked up a pen to write a letter to Gu Nuanyi.

After sending the letter, Mrs. Wen Ze looked out the window and sighed, "Obviously, Wen Ze is the eldest son, and the earldom should have been inherited by Wen Ze. Why is that Jefri trying to be so prominent!!! And he's trying to create a people-friendly image. Ha, is it his turn?"

Gu Nuanyi was also surprised to receive the letter. A baroness wanted to experience farming with her.

"What's so good about farming? Do they still need a manor? Isn't it good to experience it in your own manor?"

Manor housekeeper: "Miss, Baron Wenze's wife may not really be here to experience farming."

Gu Nuanyi was silent for a moment and then looked at the manor housekeeper: "You mean, she came here for me?"

"Yes Miss"

“What can I gain from this?”

"Miss, don't forget that the Earl often comes to your place for afternoon tea..."

"Oh~~ So it's for the Earl. Tsk, why don't you try your best in front of the Earl? Why come to me? Do you want me to side with Baron Wen Ze? Don't even think about it. I won't stand on the side of either of these two barons."
