Chapter 51 Hidden Mysteries
"I heard that there is a happy event in the house, and this concubine has nothing to sell. I got a jade bracelet from Nanzhao Kingdom a while ago. The quality looks good. Although it is not as good as a tribute, the style is still novel. I think young people should I like it, so I brought it."

The maid standing behind brought up a brocade box, and after she opened it, everyone present let out a lot of exclamations.Nanzhao Kingdom is rich in jade, this bracelet is made of mutton fat jade, it is very precious!

Song Lian received it in surprise, but when she turned her eyes, she put the brocade box in the hand of the girl next to her, "Mu'er, please thank the princess soon."

Su Mu, Lord Shangshu's niece, was flattered and held the brocade box, and said in a flustered voice, "The daughter of the people thanked the princess."

She grew up in the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, her small face looks only the size of a palm, and she is dressed in a green dress, which makes her look more fresh and refined.

But Su Yunqi, who was sitting next to her, was secretly tugging at the hem of her skirt, feeling dissatisfied.This younger sister from other places is just a bereaved dog who defected to their Su residence, so how could she be rewarded by the princess?

The jade bracelet is crystal clear, regardless of Princess Huai's modest words, no one in Yanjing City knows that the things they sell are all good things!
But she is also a lady of the Shangshu Mansion, even though she was unhappy, she still smiled and said: "Congratulations sister, this jade is said to be very nourishing, you are weak, so it fits well."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and bowed to Shen Qing, "Minnv thanked the concubine on behalf of my younger sister. It is the blessing of the minnv's family to be loved by the concubine."

Xie Lingyun sat next to her, silently speechless.I didn't expect to see a good show simply by having a meal.It seems that this niece from a foreign land is not welcomed by Miss Shangshu.

Shen Qing smiled, and sat down with Mrs. Shang Shu, "Miss Your Mansion was a little girl last time I saw her, but now she's grown into a graceful figure. I don't know, but is she allowed?"

Song Lian waved her hand and said with a smile: "Princess Wang is absurd, this girl has been spoiled by us, and she hasn't decided yet."

Xie Jingzhang, the eldest son of Duke Huai's Mansion, is a well-known playboy in Yanjing City.But even so, it is still the object that many noble girls want to marry.

After all, the prince will definitely inherit the title in the future, and Duke Huai's mansion is rich in financial resources. If he can marry in, then he will be rich and honorable, so why not do it?

As for those Yingying Yanyans whose sons are outside...Which young master has no love affairs, if the wife in charge of the back house doesn't even have this kind of tolerance, is there any place for her to stand?
Song Lian didn't have this idea at first, after all, with their lintel, getting married to Prince Huai's mansion is really a tall order.

But the princess took the initiative to ask about this matter. Perhaps, did the princess also intend to choose the concubine for the son?

So she changed the subject and said again: "However, this girl doesn't go out often on weekdays. She likes to stay at home and make some female celebrities. Although she is not skilled, she is still passable. I just embroidered a purse for me a few days ago." , Well, let me wear it next to my body, lest I won’t use it.”

As she spoke, she took out a purse, which was obviously carried close to her body.There is a peony embroidered on it. The embroidery is exquisite and colorful, and it is not a trivial craft.

Shen Qing took it over and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Mrs. Song is really too modest. If this skill is not good, then the embroiderer in the palace may hang herself with a white silk!"

She is not exaggerating, but the purse embroidered by Su Yunqi is really exquisite.Xie Lingyun came over curiously, "Indeed, it's similar to what I saw in the palace."

Xie Lingyun, as Princess Huai, even though she came out of the royal family, her speed is equivalent to that of a princess.Even the purse she used was a product of the Weaving Bureau.

The weaving bureau in Yanjing is not like the weaving bureaus in other places. Its level varies from high to low.Those who can enter the Beijing Weaving Bureau are the best embroiderers in the world. Su Yunqi's embroidery skills are really amazing.

"Yun Qi Xie Wangfei and the princess appreciate it. They are all little daughter's things. It is good to catch everyone's eyes. If the princess and the princess don't dislike it, Yun Qi is still embroidering handkerchiefs recently. I don't know what the princess and the princess like. pattern?"

When Xie Lingyun heard this, she thought to herself that Su Yunqi could be a man, so she made up her mind in a few words.

Since it was her who opened the mouth, naturally she couldn't let the concubine mother answer, so she smiled and said: "My concubine mother devotes herself to the Tao and doesn't like fancy things. But my princess, it's the opposite."

Su Yunqi covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "Yun Qi understands."

Just at this time, the servants began to come in to serve dishes.This time, the banquet in the Shangshu Mansion was divided into male and female guests, and even the prepared dishes were selected according to everyone's taste.

Especially for Shen Qing, she spends most of the year at Taiqing Temple to pray for blessings, so all the dishes in front of her are light and elegant.A small stack is not easy to eat too much variety and accumulate food, but also can taste different flavors.

As for Xie Lingyun, because she is a young woman, the color of the dishes is much brighter.The sweet and sour fish looks very appetizing, and there are some popular dishes in Yanjing City, which are the favorite of their daughters.

It's not that Xie Lingyun has never accompanied her concubine to other adults' residences before, but there are really few who can be as careful and considerate as Song Lian.

In addition, although their side is the main table, the dishes are prepared according to the tastes of the guests.But she quietly took a look, and the other tables were not exactly the same.

Seeing that everyone was eating very happily, Xie Lingyun also had a different view on this Mrs. Shangshu.

It's not easy to remember the tastes of so many people.Just like the noble ladies in Yanjing City, they have to be familiar with the genealogy of various famous families since they were young. From the eight generations of their ancestors to the newborn baby, they have to recite them backwards.

She didn't like to remember these since she was a child. With her status, even if she couldn't remember, it was someone else's problem.Who made them so inconspicuous, and they didn't leave the slightest impression on her...

But obviously, Mrs. Song is one of the best.Not only did she remember clearly, but no matter how high or low her status was, she could arrange things properly, which was really not easy.

Master Su married her, but he got a good wife.

"This dish tastes good. It's hard for Mrs. Song to arrange, but I still remember my taste." Shen Qing said with a smile, unconsciously, she even changed her name.

Song Lian originally wanted to please her, but upon hearing this, her smiling face was like a blooming flower, extremely brilliant!
"As long as the princess likes it, they are all home-cooked dishes. Although they are not delicacies, they are all dishes that have only been released recently, so they are considered fresh."

Shen Qing put down her chopsticks, she has never been gluttonous, never full. "It's fresh, you have to know how to make it, so that it's not a waste of good things."
