The next day, early in the morning, Mrs. Xǔ came over with Yùlán to ask if Sòng Chǔyí had finished washing up, as Old Lady was waiting for her to go over and have breakfast together.
As she was new here, the old lady feared Song Chuyi would be unaccustomed.
Song Chuyi had already been forced by Xu Nian's mother to apply the Pearl White Jade Cream, and upon hearing this, she hastily said, "Alright, alright."
Jade Orchid smiled and swept her gaze around the room, her eyes lingering on Huang Yao's body for a slightly longer time than others.
Song Chuyi was clear in her mind, but showed nothing on her face. She still asked cheerfully: "Isn't Grandmother going to General Zhongyi's mansion for a banquet today?"
Yulan looked her up and down, seeing that she was wearing a crimson cross-collared jacket with a shoulder cape, under which was a frost-colored underskirt, with a blue-green palace sash around her waist, and a pair of fish-shaped jade pendants hanging from her belt. She was dressed in a festive yet dignified manner. A hint of surprise flashed across her face as she smiled and nodded: "Sixth Miss is indeed a born beauty, no matter how you dress, you look good. It's precisely because we're going to the banquet today that Old Madam sent me over to help you choose your clothes. Now it seems there's no need for me to choose? Sixth Miss, you've chosen perfectly well yourself!"
In just a few days, the Ningde Courtyard's attitude towards Song Chuyi changed from top to bottom. Qingtao became even more submissive and obedient, only hoping to live in peace.
Huang Yao was different, she felt that Song Chuyi treated her differently. The panic triggered by Duan Yan yesterday had also dissipated under Yu Shu's promise. At this moment, when she heard that Song Chuyi was going to the banquet together, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't it said that only the fourth and fifth young ladies are going? Why do we sixth young ladies have to go too?"
Yu Lan glanced at her without leaving any trace, but didn't take the bait of her words. Pretending not to have heard, she smiled and pulled Song Chuyi up: "I'm afraid Old Lady is getting impatient!"
Along the corridor, there were little girls feeding birds all the way, chirping and making a lot of noise. When they saw her coming, they swarmed up to fight for the chance to open the curtain for her.
Old Mrs. Song had just finished washing up, and seeing her come in, she smiled and pulled her down to sit in front of her: "Did you sleep well last night? Weren't you frightened by the loud snowfall early this morning?"
Song Chuyi hurriedly replied: "Not at all, they only started shoveling snow after I woke up."
Mrs. Song nodded, her eyes seemingly unintentionally sweeping over Qingtao and Huang Yao who were following her, saying: "You're always with these two girls, I suppose you're quite pleased about it?"
Qingtao Huang Yao was named, and they all lifted their spirits.
Song Chuyi just smiled: "The two of them have been following me for a long time, one is in charge of the hairpins and jewelry in my house, and the other is in charge of my clothes, both are good."
Wearing earrings and hair accessories...
Mrs. Song's eyes suddenly became sharp and then she called Yulan to serve breakfast as if nothing had happened.
Just after finishing, Madame had already brought Big Young Madam to pay her respects, and immediately afterwards the Second Madame and others also arrived, and the Ning De courtyard suddenly became lively.
The old lady looked at Song Chuming and Song Chubin, and she somewhat wanted to frown.
Song Chuming is fine, today she's wearing a light green jacket with a jade-colored skirt, neither too showy nor losing her identity. Song Chubin is dressed more gaudily, in a bright red embroidered peony jacket and a same-colored pleated skirt, with pearls and jewels piled high on her head, and the tassels still swaying wildly.
But Song Chubin after all has a very irresponsible mother, and it's inevitable that such a leak would occur. Old Lady Song thought for a moment, then smiled at the sisters: "There are several pots of narcissus in the partition, which just happened to be in bloom. If you think they look good, take the pots back and keep them."
On the other side, Chong Yulan gave a signal with her eyes.
Yu Lan busily smiled and led several young ladies into a private room to have fun.
Song Chubin sensed Mrs. Song's dissatisfaction when she looked at her and couldn't help but glance nervously at the wet nurse.
Jade Orchid had already called over Xiao Yatou to bring up the honey dried fruits and various pastries, while smiling at Song Chubin: "Fifth Miss, we have a shoe-shaped embroidery pattern that isn't very good, would you spare some time to take a look?"
The five madams were unreliable and sharp-tongued, Song Chubin had been raised timidly without a mind of his own since childhood, upon hearing this he hastily nodded: "I just gave the wet nurse today..."
Then she didn't say anything else, shrinking back and glancing at her wet nurse before being led away by Yulan.
Song Chuyi glanced at Song Chubin's wet nurse, and if she wasn't mistaken, in her previous life, Song Chubin hadn't married successfully. Her wet nurse had colluded with the son of the outer head of the Zhuang family to steal Song Chubin's personal belongings...
Song Chubin was speechless, and before waiting for Old Lady Song's statement, he hanged himself to death in the room with a white rope.
Song Chubin's wet nurse was also observing her - this Sixth Miss was indeed different, with a clear and bright gaze when looking at people, and hardly speaking unless necessary... It seemed that Fifth Madam's losses in her hands were not entirely due to bad luck.
She thought for a moment, smiled and leaned over to refill Song Chuyi's tea: "Sixth Miss just moved into a new house, are you used to living there yet?"
Song Chuming and Song Chuyi's maids only showed their faces when they came to pay respects, then went out to wait. Only Song Chubin brought her wet nurse into the compartment, which was also because of her close relationship with the wet nurse. Song Chubin had such a mother, so Old Lady Song tacitly allowed her wet nurse to follow closely and serve her.
Also because of this, the wet nurse Qiu has some prestige in front of the ladies and young misses of various rooms.
Song Chuyi smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, the old lady treats me very well, I'm used to living here."
Qiu's mother-in-law leaned forward and looked Song Chuyi up and down, then asked in puzzlement: "Why isn't the young lady wearing the agate and pearl bracelet our young master gave her?"
Qiu's nanny knew that Song Jing had given her a gift just last night, and she even knew what the specific gift was!
Song Chuyi thought of the nanny's aggressive behavior and her heart sounded a loud alarm, she shook her head slightly: "I got back too late last night, everything was collected by the nanny, I haven't even opened it to take a look. How did the nanny know it was a agate inlaid pearl bracelet?"
Qiu's mother was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Third Master didn't know what to give, so he came to ask us girls, I only heard one or two sentences."
Song Chuyi didn't ask any more questions and nodded before turning around to talk to Song Chumi.
Jade Orchid soon brought Song Chubin back, at that time Song Chubin's clothes hadn't changed, but the hair ornaments on her head had decreased a lot, and her bun was tied in a simpler style, making her look more lovely and neat, compared to the previous makeup, it was at least one level higher.
Yu Lan had just taken Song Chubin out and should have gone to help her redo her hair and makeup.
Everyone in the room noticed this and turned their heads to look at Song Chubin, seemingly surprised.
Song Chuyi noticed that when Song Chubin looked at Qiu Yiyi, there was a hint of unease and fear in his eyes.
