Early in the morning, Su Liu was woken up by Cao Mingzhu. He was lying on the couch sleepily, holding his chin with one hand, and his head was still biting, as if he hadn't woken up.
"How about this one?" Cao Mingzhu was holding a set of brocade skirts with gold threads and flowers all over her body to compare with. When she turned around and saw Su Liu sleeping again, she couldn't help stamping her feet and walked over to pinch her face gently:
"Wake up."
Su Liu made a hiss, and all the sleepyheads immediately ran away, sat up straight and said, "Where's the murder?"
"It was you who was plotting. I asked you to give me a reference, but you fell asleep." Cao Mingzhu pouted and said.
"It's not someone's fault. I don't know who pulled me and kept talking for a long time. Why else would I be sleepy?" Su Liu hummed.
Last night, Cao Mingzhu couldn't sleep, so she came to her room, saying she was scared and wanted to keep her company. However, she stayed on her bed and kept talking to her for half the night before the two of them fell asleep.
Cao Mingzhu blushed and said angrily: "Okay, go back to my jewelry box and choose the one you like, and I will make up for it. Now, show me quickly, will I look good in this? Will Mrs. Song like it?"
?”
As the saying goes, an ugly woman must eventually meet her father. Su Liu also knew that Cao Mingzhu was nervous. When they met for the first time, she definitely wanted to give her a good impression. She understood this, so she stopped joking and started to help her seriously.
"This is too shiny and gorgeous." Su Liu shook his head and said, "Are you wearing gold? Doesn't this remind Mrs. Song that you are the daughter of a merchant family?"
"No, this is too old-fashioned. It makes people look old."
"This is too childish and makes people feel not calm enough."
Su Liu shook his head as he compared several items in a row. Fortunately, Cao Mingzhu was born into a wealthy family and had no shortage of money. Otherwise, where would he have gotten so many new clothes?
Even so, Cao Mingzhu became anxious and said: "Why don't you go out and buy new ones now, can you catch up?"
"Sister, these clothes of yours are all new, okay?" Su Liu rolled her eyes.
"But they are not suitable." Cao Mingzhu frowned.
Su Liu shook his head and said, "You are just too nervous." As he said this, he walked to the closet, where there were many clothes, most of which were probably topless.
After looking up and down, Su Liu pulled out a blue brocade dress embroidered with rose flowers and a rose-colored plum blossom brocade jacket with a silver-edged collar and handed it to her: "Try this set."
Cao Mingzhu had long since lost her mind. Seeing that Su Liu had chosen it for her, she happily went to change it out.
"how?"
Su Liu circled around her and raised his thumb.
Mrs. Song is an official wife, and her background is definitely not low. No matter what the standard of a daughter-in-law is in her mind, it is always good to wear something dignified, elegant and stable.
Cao Mingzhu is gorgeous. If she wears some gorgeous clothes, it won't look bad, but it will also be a bit vulgar. It's good to be so simple but not bland, and it's a good age. Who doesn't like to be pleasing to the eye?
After choosing clothes, it is also a matter of knowledge to wear jewelry with curly hair. However, Cao Mingzhu is not a country bumpkin. She is just too nervous and has no idea. Now that she has put on clothes, she will naturally match the jewelry.
Su Liu nodded when he saw it. It was not early, so he went back to his room to change clothes and make up.
The visit was at 2:00 a.m. When Su Liu finished dressing up and came out, Cao Mingzhu was also waiting. They both looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the maid who was waiting at the Songxiang Courtyard came over and said that Mrs. Chen and the others were ready, and added: "Miss Zhong said that she was not feeling well and that it would be inappropriate to go to the magistrate's mansion, so she thought about not going."
Cao Mingzhu was startled, looked at Su Liu and asked, "Do you still want to take her with you?"
Song Fei is also very interesting. When inviting, he specifically pointed out a few of them, but missed Zhong Cainiang. I don't know if it was intentional or he just forgot.
It may be true that Zhong Cainiang was feeling unwell, but she definitely came to remind Su Liu because no one informed her.
Su Liu would not follow her, so he said: "You are going back. Since you are not feeling well, you should have a good rest."
The maid was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a sigh.
Cao Mingzhu chuckled, tapped her forehead, and said, "It's just you."
Su Liu sneered: "Let me tell you, I hate such pretentious little white flowers, who are they disgusting?" If it weren't for Ning Guang's sake, she would have kicked her out long ago!
Over there, after hearing the maid's reply, Zhong Cainiang bit her lips and smiled reluctantly. After the maid went out, she angrily swept the clothes and jewelry she had prepared on the ground, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Gyeongju Prefectural City is located in the east and west of Guizhou. The people living on the streets of Dongcheng District are all prominent officials and gentry families. The governor's residence is located in Bajin Alley, Dongjie.
When Su Liu and his entourage arrived, the carriage stopped at the side door of the magistrate's residence, where a nanny had already been waiting.
It was the first time to see such a noble lady. Not to mention Cao Mingzhu, both Chen and Su Xiao were very nervous and had nowhere to put their hands and feet. Especially Chen, she was a little trembling. After all, in her past life, she was the suppressor.
The land security ladies above are all beyond our reach.
"Mom, don't be nervous, they don't know how to eat people." Su Liu shook her hand.
Mrs. Chen smiled reluctantly and secretly cheered up, thinking that she must not embarrass her daughter.
Just as he was about to follow the nanny through the door, Song Fei came in a hurry. He first cupped his hands to Ning Guang and said, "This servant doesn't know anything, so he should open the front door to greet him."
"It's okay." Ning Guang said calmly with his hands behind his back.
Cao Kui's eyes flashed on the side and he opened the front door. It seemed that Ning Guang's identity was very important, otherwise Song Fei wouldn't have opened the front door.
If the guest comes to the door and is more distinguished than himself, the host will usually open the front door to greet him as a sign of respect. Doesn't Song Fei's words mean that Ning Guang's status is extraordinary?
Song Fei welcomed Ning Guang and Cao Kui to the front hall. Because Chen Ye was still young, he followed Su Liu and the others to visit Mrs. Song.
After changing into the soft sedan, Su Liu realized that this nanny was Mrs. Song's close nun, whose surname was Tang. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that Song Fei had already told his family about Ning Guang's identity. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Song be so solemn?
?
A quarter of an hour later, I arrived at the second gate, passed through the garden of the inner house, and came to the courtyard of Chunhui Hall. There were two little girls standing there. When they saw someone coming, they went in smartly to reply.
"Mom has been waiting for a long time, and now you are here." A beautiful young woman wearing a rose brocade dress came up and looked at Su Liu and the others with a smile.
She has a round face and two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles. She looks very friendly and kind. She wears a high bun and two red gold filigree threads that jingle as she talks.
"This is our eldest mistress." Grandma Tang introduced with a smile.
Su Liu hurriedly saluted. The eldest son of the Song family, Song Jie, had already married. This was his first wife, Mrs. Gao. It was said that she was born into a famous family and had a son, Song Jinling. Now that she saw her little bulge, she seemed to be happy again.
.
The Gao people are very gentle. When they smile, even their eyes are smiling, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard. After a while, they have already recognized Su Liu and others. When looking at Cao Mingzhu, they are even more...
He looked at it a few times without leaving any trace.
Sure enough, everyone who lives in a wealthy family, especially one who comes from a prominent family, is a genius!
Su Liu sighed secretly in his heart and expressed some worries about Cao Mingzhu and his own future.
Mrs. Gao led people into the main hall where guests were entertained. Mrs. Song, who was dressed in maroon brocade and rich clothes, had already sat at the front seat. There were two young girls beside her, one of whom looked only about twelve or thirteen years old, with a smile on her face.
She has baby fat on her face, but she is innocent and pretty, with a smug look on her face. You can tell from a glance that she was raised in the palm of your hand. This is probably Song Ying, the only sister of Song Fei and his three brothers.
The other one, about fifteen or sixteen years old, has a delicate appearance and is wearing crimson clothes, but his body looks a little thin. When he saw Su Liu and the others coming in, his eyes fell on Cao Mingzhu.
Su Liu saw it so clearly that her heart thumped, and she didn't dare to look any further. She just bowed her head and bowed respectfully.
Mrs. Song saluted several people when she saw them. Although she was not as good as those rich people from aristocratic families, according to the information she obtained, if she could do this, it was quite satisfactory.
She smiled, raised her hand and said, "Get up quickly, come here, let me take a look."
Mrs. Gao asked herself to be the introducer and introduced Mrs. Chen first. Ms. Chen was a little frightened and had to bend down and salute again. This was taught by Mrs. Cui at home.
Then, they focused on introducing Su Liu. Mrs. Song took Su Liu's hand and smiled gently: "I have heard from the second and third sons for a long time that you are indeed a good child of Governor Zhou Zheng. Mrs. Chen, you taught me very well.
"
Mrs. Chen stood up hurriedly, smiled modestly and said, "Madam, you're welcome, she is just a wild girl."
"I don't like to hear this. He is obviously a decent child." Mrs. Song said with a smile, and took an emerald jasper bracelet from the tray held by the maid at the side and put it on her hand: "She is dressed more plainly.
"
Mrs. Chen and Su Liu hurriedly declined, but Mrs. Song did not dare to refuse the offer, so she accepted it.
When Su was young, Mrs. Song praised her again and rewarded her with a gold necklace.
"This is the daughter of the Cao family, Miss Mingzhu."
Mrs. Song then looked at Cao Mingzhu and saw that she had outstanding appearance, well-dressed and generous clothes, a calm smile, and a dignified and elegant temperament. She pulled her over and smiled gently: "This is the first time I have seen such an outstanding person."
Then he asked her how old she was, what she read, and what she did.
Cao Mingzhu was still nervous at first, but when she saw Mrs. Song's gentle smile, she slowly relaxed and answered obediently. Mrs. Song nodded with a smile and gave her a mutton-fat white jade hairpin.
They had met each other, and as hosts, they gave them gifts. Su Liu and the others had already prepared them. Chen gave Song Ying a pair of gold bracelets as a meeting gift, and gave the eldest daughter a white jade hairpin, which was Mrs. Song's little girl.
My grandson also gave me a white jade pendant.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know there was a girl. I didn't prepare the proper etiquette. I didn't know this girl was..." Mrs. Chen looked at the silent girl next to Mrs. Song, looking embarrassed.
Mrs. Song pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I can't blame you. This is the granddaughter of my aunt, also named Cao, and called Qing'er. She is Fei'er's cousin. She just came here yesterday and said she missed me. Come to the little house.
Stay for a few days."
After hearing this, Cao Mingzhu's fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down and did not lose her composure.
Su Liu sighed in her heart, these cousins were the most annoying, she didn't believe it was such a coincidence!
I had insomnia last night and didn’t fall asleep until six o’clock. I went to work an hour and a half later. I thought it would be okay to die. I really didn’t want to code. I was afraid of being beaten by the ladies. Please like me~
