This Qiu aunt is not a simple role, thinking of her asking about the gift sent by Song Jun earlier, with a very concerned look, Song Chuyi had a feeling that there was a problem here.
She thought for a moment, then turned her head and asked Song Chumeng: "Why does Fifth Sister seem to be afraid of her wet nurse?"
Song Chuming had apparently noticed this too, and saw Qiu Miao attached to Song Chubin's ear, saying something. Song Chubin's face got worse and worse, and he frowned and shouted: "Fifth sister!"
Song Chubin's whole body was startled, as if he had been frightened, and he nodded in response with a sincere and fearful expression: "Yes, Fourth Sister."
Qiu's words were abruptly interrupted, and she was very dissatisfied. Subconsciously, she scowled and was about to speak up, but when she remembered that this was the old lady's domain, she barely suppressed her anger. With a forced smile, she looked at Song Chubin, who wanted to take a step forward but didn't dare: "Fourth Miss is calling you, go quickly."
Song Chubin let out a sigh of relief and quickly sat down beside Song Chumi and Song Chuyi.
Before they could chat for a few more sentences, Ziwei walked in with a smile and glanced at them, saying: "It's time to set off."
The old lady and Song Chuyi were in a vermilion-canopied carriage, while the madam was accompanied by Song Chumi and Song Chubin in another green-canopied eight-treasured carriage.
A large group of people arrived at the Zhongyiyuan General's Mansion on Zhongshun Road, only to find that the gate was crowded with cars and horses, and the people who came to pay their respects were endless.
Mrs. Song sat in the carriage, seeing the prosperous scene in front of the Su Mansion gate, somewhat displeased ----- The Su Mansion was founded on a little favor to Taizu, and now it's only a third-class general after all these years, without any real power, how can they do things so high-profile?
She wouldn't have come if she weren't after Old Lady Su, and also considering the face of the British lady-in-waiting.
Sharp-eyed Mrs. Su had already spotted the horse carriage of the Bo Mansion and personally called a young servant to open the way, supporting Old Lady Song as she got out of the carriage. With a bright smile on her face, she said: "Oh, Ancestor, you've finally arrived! Your body is still so robust, how's Old Master? Unfortunately, he's busy with many things and can't spare the time to see you, but all the young masters in this mansion are eager to learn from him!"
Mrs. Su is a sharp-tongued woman in the wealthy circle, with a mouth that speaks straightforwardly, and she's also quite capable of handling things. Old Lady Song smiled appropriately: "Don't try to fool me, you know as well as I do that he's busy as can be, yet he still has time to come drink? Lately, hasn't it always been Da Lang or Er Lang who replaced him?"
Mrs. Su pretended to hit herself in the mouth, stretched her neck to look behind Old Lady Song, and pulled Big Madame, laughing non-stop: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I even scolded Master!" While looking at Song Chuming and the others, she widened her eyes and slightly opened her mouth: "No wonder our ancestor said that you are the best at raising girls in the whole city of Beijing. Just look at how lovely and charming they have grown up to be, I'm so fond of them!"
She saw Song Chuyi standing beside Old Lady Song, holding one of her hands, and guessed that this was probably the closest to Old Lady Song. She warmly grasped Song Chuyi's hand and smiled: "Especially this little girl, so young, yet unlike those in our estate who are frivolous, truly rare!"
All the way down, it was almost just her talking, and she also had the skill of not being awkward or annoying, which is rare.
The madam laughed and poked her forehead with her hand: "You, you, your mouth never stops, even the birds in the trees are quieter than you!" At the same time, she introduced several girls: "These are our family's children, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister."
At this time, Mrs. Su had already led Old Lady Song and others into the flower hall, and upon hearing this, she hastily ordered someone to bring up the gift for meeting.
Song Chuming and her sisters all bowed and thanked them.
Just then, a maid came to report that the princess of Zhen Nan Wang Fu had arrived. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su hurriedly apologized to Old Lady Song: "I'm sorry, Ancestor. I'll go out and greet her."
Mrs. Song smiled and nodded.
In the flower hall, twelve mud-gold screens were placed, and all six doors in the hall were wide open. Next to each door stood a half-person-high Ru kiln white vase with fresh flowers inserted.
The decorations are all right, but the utensils are really a bit luxurious ----- The Su family's current title is only an honorary position, and no one has achieved anything in the imperial examination, yet they still follow the rules of the marquis and earl's mansion, I'm afraid it will attract envy.
Mrs. He from the UK also arrived, she saw Old Lady Song and hurried forward to greet her, then smiled: "Fortunately, Yuniang can handle it, just look at this large crowd of people, only the women's banquet on this side is afraid that eight or nine tables will be opened."
Mrs. Song noticed He's praise for Su and nodded with a smile: "It's not easy."
He didn't dare to boast anymore, and smiled at the girls beside him: "The old lady is willing to bring out these treasures today? Usually hidden very tightly, as if afraid of being kidnapped."
In the capital city, various banquets, tea parties and flower appreciation gatherings were popular, but the girls of the Song family rarely participated.
Mrs. Song smiled and let Song Chumil lead her two younger sisters to pay their respects to the British lady, saying with a smile: "Others rarely see you, but you've also rarely seen them? These sisters of hers are not fond of going out."
He guessed that Song Chuyi and Song Chubin would come to the banquet today, they are both at an age where they should start attending some banquets to get familiar with people. But he didn't expect that young Song Chuyu would also be brought along.
She thought that she had underestimated Miss Song Liu in the past, and with this thought, the smile on her face became even more enthusiastic. Apart from praising Song Chubin and Song Chumi, she chatted idly with Song Chuyi.
Mrs. Su quickly accompanied Princess Zhen Nan into the room, busily serving her with a flurry of activity, like a spinning top that wouldn't stop.
Song Chuyi, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but want to smile, and pulled Song Chuyu's hand, turning her head to see the warning gaze of the madam, and stopped thinking about watching the excitement.
In this house, Song Lao Tai Tai has the highest status and prestige. Zhen Nan Wang Fei sat down beside her and first greeted Song Lao Tai Tai: "How have you been lately, Old Lady?"
Zhen Nan Wang's identity is special. He is the only king with a different surname since the founding of the country. Now, Zhen Nan Wang is also in command of a large army, and everyone in the court has to give him some face.
Madam Song also agreed to attend the banquet because she saw that both Princess Zhen Nan and Madame England would be there.
At this moment, seeing the Princess of Zhen Nan, Song's old lady's smile deepened a bit, nodding: "All good. You see, your complexion has improved even more."
The Princess of Zhen Nan smiled: "Others say I don't believe it, but since Old Lady said so, it must be true. I'll just laugh at it,"
He turned back and called out to his two daughters to come over and greet them: "These two always worry people, I still have to punish them for what happened last time."
