"The old lady's mood fluctuated too much yesterday, and today she has some headaches. I told the lady and the young lady that if they come over, I will ask you to go back and rest for a while, because the family doesn't have to care about etiquette so much."
"Mother has a headache, can you ask the doctor to read it?" Su Qing asked.
"I've already asked someone to read it, and they said it's not a big problem, just drink two pairs of decoctions and take care of it." Mammy Wen replied respectfully.
Su Qing nodded: "Then I can rest assured."
Although he was not allowed to go in to greet him, Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing outside the yard and saluted before returning to Jiyue Pavilion.
Since Buxian Lou opened, Su Qing also liked drinking tea. There is a lotus pond in the yard of Jiyue Pavilion, and now the scenery can still be seen, so people set up tea sets in the small pavilion. After Mu Yunyao made the tea, she brought the tea cup to Su Qing, and then took out the thick booklet and carefully looked at it: "Yesterday, the time was in a hurry, and the luggage was slow to bring back, so I didn't send out the welcome gift. If we delay any further today, it won't make sense. Jin Lan will go and call Mammy Zhou.
Come. "
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, Mother Zhou came over and said, "I have seen Mrs. and Miss."
Mu Yunyao raised her head: "Mother Zhou, you know the situation in the house better than my mother and I, so there are some things that you need to bring up. Jin Lan, have someone bring up the gift prepared by my mother."
Soon, a series of boxes were placed in the yard.
Mu Yunyao stood up and motioned for Mother Zhou to step forward: "Mother, look, these are prepared to honor the old lady, what's wrong?"
The jewels were almost dazzling, and Mammy Zhou was stunned. She had seen a lot of good things with the eldest lady, but now seeing the boxes, she just felt that she didn't know enough: "Madam and Miss prepared extremely well. That's right, the old lady will definitely like it."
"Mother Zhou has a lot of knowledge. Since you said it correctly, you can't go wrong. Jin Lan arranged for someone to send it to her grandmother." After speaking, Mu Yunyao pointed to other things, "These are for my aunt and second aunt. Yes, the rest are for the brothers and sisters in the house, what do you think, mammy?"
Mammy Zhou looked at the gifts carefully, and couldn't help but admire her secretly, and she didn't know how long Mu Yunyao's mind was. There was really no fault in these gifts, and each of them was extremely exquisite and precious: "Mrs and Miss prepared them. It couldn't be more complete."
"Jin Lan and Jin Qiao have gone to deliver things to their grandmother. In other places, please ask Mammy Zhou to call some people to help deliver them there."
Mother Zhou's eyes moved, her face a little embarrassed: "This..."
Mu Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. The gifts prepared by Madam and Miss are too expensive, and the slaves are afraid that something will go wrong."
"What did mama say? I heard what mama Qi said. You are also an old man in the house. Before, you were highly valued by your aunt, but what could go wrong if you gave some gifts?"
Mammy Zhou thought for a while, and nodded involuntarily: "Then the servant girl will go down and make arrangements immediately."
"it is good."
After arranging the gifts, Mu Yunyao looked more relaxed. She sat in the pavilion and sipped tea with Su Qing: "Mother, what do you think of this tea?"
"My mouth doesn't have your spirit, and even the slightest taste can taste the difference, but I feel that it is a little less sweet than the water in Jingling City."
"The water used to make tea in Buxian Tower was taken from the mash spring. The water is naturally much better than other places. However, there are also several well-known springs in Kyoto. Give my mother a taste of tea."
Su Qing hurriedly shook his head: "Where is the need for such a hassle? Besides, the cost of fetching water in the mash spring was not small before. Everything here in Kyoto is expensive, and fetching water is naturally not cheap. If you can save some, save some. "
Before, most of the silver taels earned by Buxianlou and Niyunfang were taken out by Mu Yunyao and given back to the people of Jingling City. Those gifts are more expensive than the other, and I don’t know how much silver taels they cost. Save some if you can. Mu Yunyao naturally guessed what Su Qing was worried about, but the money she earned from the salt administration couldn't be stated clearly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep every day and night: "Mother don't have to worry so much, now the building is getting wider and wider. , Niyunfang has also started to receive money, you can rest assured and bold flowers, guaranteed
You can't spend it all. "
"It's just a pity." Su Qing also knew that he was used to living a hard life, and now that he had money, he was reluctant to spend too much money, so when he saw so many precious gifts given to those who harmed his daughter in the past life, his heart ached long ago. not anymore.
A splendid smile appeared on Mu Yunyao's face, and she said softly with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, once you have sent things out, you can naturally get them back from other places."
She hated those people even more than Su Qing. If she wanted to give gifts, she wanted to pack some poison that would seal her throat with blood. Naturally, she would not waste money.
Su Qing sighed slightly: "Stop talking about these things, and if we go on, I won't even be interested in drinking tea."
Not long after the voice fell, Siqin walked in and reported: "Madam, miss, the eldest miss just sent someone to spread the word, saying that Miss Meng from the Grand Master's Mansion will come to be a guest, and she has long admired her by name. Go to the East Court."
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes slightly: "Miss Meng from the Grand Master's Mansion?" Meng Yanran
Su Qing was a little nervous: "Yao'er, do you know who that Miss Meng is?"
"Her name is Meng Yanran, she is the niece of the first lady, and she was born in the Grand Master's Mansion. Her father was the Minister of Rites, her grandfather was the first-rank Grand Master of the dynasty, and her grandmother was the master of Qingning County. , Su Yuyi has to give her three points."
Hearing that the other party's identity was so prominent, Su Qing was even more worried: "Yao'er, why do I feel that the visitor is not good?"
Of course it's a bad visitor! But Mu Yunyao didn't want to say it, and only made her mother worried: "Mother, don't worry, there's nothing wrong, it's just common sight, can she still eat people? I'll be in touch sooner or later. "
In Jingling City before, although there were twists and turns, most of the people he faced were good intentions. When he suddenly came to Kyoto, Su Qing only felt that he had to be careful about nails piercing his feet every step of the way, and he seemed uncomfortable everywhere:
"That's true, but you still have to be careful. After all, Miss Meng has a distinguished status. If she annoys her and wants to order you to deal with you, I'm afraid no one will speak for us..." Mu Yunyao couldn't help laughing. , Although their identities are not worth mentioning in front of the Su family, but in the end she has been rewarded by the emperor several times, and there are Niyunfang and Buxianlou, so even if Meng Yanran is arrogant and domineering, she will not dare to do It's too much. After all, no matter how prominent the Meng family is, they can't cover it with one hand.
To the extent of the sky, not to mention that the Meng family is different from the Su family. The most favored young lady of the Su family is Su Yuyi. The cultivation and care of her has almost reached the point of devoting the strength of the whole family. However, Meng Yanran is different. There are many who are on an equal footing with her. "Don't worry, mother, make sure to come back with all the must-haves."
