The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 212 Banquet Prelude
Mrs. Zhang just took her seat, and there was a maid outside to pass the news.

"Second Miss, Lord Qin is here."

Song Jinyue looked at her grandmother, and Mrs. Zhang waved her hands again and again to signal her not to worry about herself, "Hurry up and greet her in the front hall, and don't tell anyone that you're rude."

Song Jinyue hurriedly replied: "Yes, grandma, then I'll go to the front first and come back to accompany you later."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, turned her gaze, looked at her daughter-in-law again, and said: "You go too, I'm afraid there will be chaos ahead, so keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Mrs. Xie blessed her body with a smile, and went to the front hall together with her niece.

Because today is considered a day of great joy, the entire mansion is full of joy, and the pillars under the porch have been wrapped in red silk.

Even the red "囍" characters were pasted on the wall.

Mrs. Xie accompanied her niece to the front hall, while Song Jinyue took half a step behind her aunt.

Although she is the host and the aunt is the guest, but in the end the aunt is her elder.

Qin Sheng came so early today, maybe he didn't want to rush back when the guests came, fearing that she wouldn't be able to greet her, thinking so, she couldn't help but quicken her steps.

Seeing her niece's thoughts, Mrs. Xie thought she was in a hurry to see Mr. Qin, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she couldn't help sighing, it's nice to be young.

"Don't be so anxious, the guests outside may not arrive until half an hour later." Mrs. Xie said involuntarily.

Song Jinyue came back to her senses, with a slightly embarrassed face, she hurriedly replied, "Auntie, I'm worried about what might happen to the people below."

Hearing his niece's explanation, Mrs. Xie couldn't see through it.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Song Jinyue changed the subject, but kept walking, "Auntie, why didn't Cousin Zhi come today?"

Thinking that the prince's body has mostly recovered now, it is said that today is her big day, and Cousin Zhi should be here.

"Zhi'er has been practicing walking with the prince for the past two days. You also know that the prince has no one to take care of him. Everything is taken care of by Zhi'er, so she can't come to congratulate you."

As Xie said, she couldn't help but said again: "She also specifically asked me to ask you to come over after you finish your busy day. She has a congratulatory gift for you."

During the conversation, the two had arrived in the front hall, and Song Jinyue nodded slightly.

Only then did he and his aunt step into the front hall one after the other.

I saw dozens of loads parked in the front hall, covered with red silk, I couldn't tell what was inside.

Qin Sheng was standing in the hall, while Guanshi Song was pouring tea for him himself.

Seeing her coming, Qin Sheng quickly stepped out of the hall.

He is wearing a bright blue brocade dress today. On the robe is a large auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with silver thread. Around his waist is a silver-gray satin belt embroidered with the same pattern of auspicious cloud pattern with silver thread.

"Mrs. Zhang." Qin Sheng only focused on his sweetheart, and didn't see anyone else.

When she got closer, she found Mrs. Zhang standing beside Song Jinyue. She hurriedly put away the casualness on her face and greeted her respectfully.

Seeing Qin Sheng's dark eyes, as if he could only see his own niece, Xie felt extremely satisfied.

Immediately said: "I'll go in first, you guys talk outside first."

Before the two of them could reply, Mrs. Xie consciously walked in with the nuns and maidservants.

"I've already sent someone to pick up Wan'er, so don't worry." Seeing Qin Sheng blushing for a moment, Song Jinyue eased the embarrassment.

Seeing her mentioning her younger sister's return date, Qin Sheng calmed down and replied, "Yes, I see."

Qin Sheng was anxious and excited, full of love words, but couldn't pick out a single one for a while.

"go in."

Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Song Jinyue proposed.

Qin Sheng nodded slightly, and then followed her into the front hall.

When he reached the door, he said: "Although we will live in the Duke's mansion in the future, I don't want you to be criticized by others. This dowry is all I can give, so don't dislike it."

Qin Shengyue said in a lower voice, he had only been an official in the court for a long time, and most of the betrothal gifts that he could get together today were sent to the mansion by favors between the court and the emperor, and had already been rewarded by the emperor.

As long as it was worth anything, he sent it.

Although it is not comparable to the family with a profound background in the capital, he has tried his best to give him the greatest sincerity.

Song Jinyue understood it, and said, "I don't care about other people's criticism, and you shouldn't care about it either. As long as you give it to me, I like it."

Qin Sheng was delighted from the bottom of his heart. Seeing his sincerity recognized, it was as if he had picked up a treasure in the world.

Song Jinyue looked at Nanny Yuan who was behind her, and said, "Nurse, just watch and ask someone to carry these to Mingzhuxuan's study first, and I will register them in the register myself when today's banquet is over."

"Second Miss, don't worry." Nanny Yuan took her leave after saying that, went out to find some stronger women and maids, and carried them to Ming Zhuxuan.

Only then did Song Jinyue bring Qin Sheng into the hall.

Mrs. Xie was drinking tea when she saw the two people coming in, she put down the teacup, and looked at the pair of talented men and beautiful women at the door, it was the first time that she felt that her niece and Master Qin were very suitable.

seems to be better than...

The contrast in Xie's mind flashed, and she shook her head in disgust. Today's niece's happy day, why does she think of that person?

"Lord Qin, I think the guests will arrive in half an hour. I will accompany Yue'er to greet the female relatives, and you will greet the foreign guests, okay?" Mrs. Xie talked about her plan.

At the beginning, I thought that although the people who came today were all nobles from the capital, they were all people from the court after all.

This Master Qin has been in the court for many days, and he has met many times, so naturally there is no need to worry that he will neglect the guests.

"Madam Zhang, please don't worry." Qin Sheng and Mrs. Xie said.

Seeing that he didn't show any timidity, Mrs. Xie was extremely satisfied.

The first adults who came, Song Jinyue did not expect, were the Zhao family from the Ministry of Officials.

Mr. Zhao is Qin Sheng's immediate boss, he came so early today, presumably to give Qin Sheng face.

Qin Sheng took Mr. Zhao to the Nuan Pavilion next to the outer seats to talk.

Mrs. Zhao was greeted by Mrs. Xie and Song Jinyue.

"Princess Ronghua, I don't know what you like, so I just randomly chose some gifts, and please don't dislike the princess."

Mrs. Zhao was wearing a dark green double-breasted jacket and skirt, and her hair was covered with a set of gold thread inlaid with sapphires. There was a gold bead hairpin on each side of her temples, and a white jade drop pendant on each ear.

Even though she is in her thirties now, Mrs. Zhao still looks like she is in her early twenties.

A pair of phoenix eyes were curved, and her slender eyebrows were slightly curved.

The whole person reveals a shrewd calculation from the inside out.

After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, the nanny behind her brought a red lacquer box to Song Jinyue, and the woman opened the box.

I saw a set of emerald jade and gold silk haircuts inside, but it was a little weird to look at.

Song Jinyue felt a little repulsed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and thanked Mrs. Zhao for the gift with a smile, and then ordered Qiu Yun to accept the gift.

"Princess Princess, this is my second daughter. Her boudoir name is Zhu. She brought her here today. If she can win the favor of the Princess, we, Pearl, will also be blessed by you in the future."

Mrs. Zhao pulled the girl in orange clothes standing beside her and said.
