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

Chapter 46 Hot Pot
Seeing that his daughter answered safely, he was relieved, put down the teacup, looked at his aunt, and said, "If my aunt wants to see the child, then tomorrow when my nephew comes down from court, I will invite His Royal Highness the fifth prince to come to the door some other day." It's good to be a guest."

"Look at my old lady, I'm getting old, and I'm lacking in thinking about everything. Boss, then you will come down tomorrow, just in time to invite His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to come to your residence as a guest."

Song Guogong said "yes".

Shen didn't interrupt the whole time, but Song Jinxi pursed her lips tightly, her hands were hanging on her knees, and she was holding tightly to the hem of her skirt under her palms.

Mother's intentions have been mentioned to her, but when she thinks that the cousin from Jiangnan will come to the mansion tomorrow, she is not very happy.

If the old lady really fell in love with the fifth prince, what should I do if I rob him?

Mrs. Song ran out of excuses and left with the support of her nanny.

Song Guogong got up and followed him out of the main hall.

When Shen saw Song Jinyue, she felt unlucky, got up and took her daughter to leave.

Song Jinyue was still sitting where she was, holding the Ru Kiln white porcelain teacup in her white jade hand, sipping the clear tea in the cup.

"Miss, why don't we go back too?" Qiu Yun stepped forward to persuade.

Only then did she put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand, straightened her dress with her head down, got up slowly, said "Mmm", and returned to Ming Zhuxuan with Qiu Yun.

Along the way, Qiu Yun didn't ask any questions. After all, there are so many people in the mansion, it is inevitable that the walls have ears. If you have anything to say, don't rush to ask, just go back to Mingzhuxuan first.

Just waited for the young lady to return to Mingzhuxuan, and before Qiu Yun could ask, her own lady closed the black lacquered and carved huanghuali wooden door of the compartment in the house.

Qiu Yun walked back and forth at the door of the cubicle, guarding the door, not daring to relax.

She always felt that her young lady looked a little lonely and abnormal after eating in the main hall.

Nanny Yuan questioned Qiu Yun, seeing Qiu Yun shaking her head, she was busy with other things helplessly.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Song Jinyue pushed open the black lacquer carved door of the cubicle again.

"Miss!" Qiu Yun exclaimed, but Song Jinyue was startled, she stepped back and frowned slightly.

"Miss, maidservant, I thought..."

She thought that the young lady was wiping tears secretly in the cubicle, but who would have thought that the young lady came out with an unharmed expression, holding a sealed letter with red wax in her hand.

"Don't bluff like this in the future, your lady is very strong inside, don't feel that your lady is secretly weeping!" Song Jinyue was quite helpless, and said angrily about the maid who had been by her side since childhood.

After saying that, she shook the envelope in her hand again, handed it to Qiu Yun, and said: "Bring this letter to Xiang Shu, let him go to Dingzhou, and hand the letter to Cousin Ping. Remember, you must Cousin Ping reads the contents of this letter alone."

"What about Xiang Wu?"

"Let him stay in the capital first, I have other uses."

The Xiang family brothers have always been used to working together, and now they want to separate the two, I don't know if the Xiang family brothers will have any excuses.

Song Jinyue ordered Qiu Yun to bring 100 taels of silver to Xiangshu Road.

He also ordered Xiang Wu to move to Anfu Hutong on Xichang Street tomorrow.Nanny Yuan's family has a courtyard house in Anfu Hutong.

She only hoped that Cousin Ping could reach Dingzhou safely and smoothly all the way.

When Qiu Yun returned home after delivering the letter, the sky was already dark, the dark sky was covered with bright stars, and the sun was shining brightly in the daytime, giving the illusion that spring was getting warmer.

But at night, a cold north wind suddenly blew up. Although a charcoal fire had been set up inside the house and the doors and windows were closed, Song Jinyue still felt the chill radiating from her body.

Simply today, Nanny Yuan has turned the side room in Mingzhuxuan into a small kitchen, and the charcoal-fired vegetables and meat in it should be prepared today.

Song Jinyue ordered Jiaoming and Sanming to pack up the copper stove and come out. Taking advantage of the night, they planned to have a hot meal of hot pot in winter to get rid of the cold in their bodies.

The high-quality silver charcoal gifted by the aunt in the palace was used. The long black lacquered table in the side room has been cleaned up, and it is now filled with emerald green vegetables and bright red meat.

The silver charcoal was burning bright red, and the broth in the copper stove in the charcoal basin was tumbling and steaming mist was coming out.

The door of the side room was closed tightly, only the window in the northwest corner was half opened.

Even though they were eating hot pot, the side room was still chilly, so Yuan Nanny asked two maids to set up two pots of charcoal fire in the side room.

Song Jinyue brought Qin Wan to eat hot pot together.

The bright red mutton was put into the pot, and when Qiu Yun came back after delivering the letter, she didn't see her own lady in the main room, but was attracted by the smell and came to the ear room.

Only then did I see my young lady, Miss Qin, and Nanny Yuan, together with Jiaoming and Sanming, eating hot pot in the anteroom.

Qiu Yun's hands were flushed red from the cold, she covered her lips and rubbed her hands, and took another breath of hot air before walking into the house, and put her frozen red hands on the charcoal basin in the corner of the ear room.

Turning to look at his own lady, "It's done, don't worry, Miss."

Beside, Qiu Yun didn't say any more, Song Jinyue nodded slightly, and beckoned her to come and sit down and have some food.

When the dinner was in the main hall, she didn't take a few mouthfuls at first, but now the delicious mutton rolled on the bottom of the hot pot, which made her quite greedy.

Song Jinyue motioned for everyone to eat together, but seeing that she didn't move their chopsticks, they couldn't agree.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to pick up the bowl and chopsticks, and then picked up a piece of hot mutton from the copper basin, dipped it in the bottom of the bowl, and blew on the steaming mutton, then brought it to her mouth, and ate it in small bites.

The delicious mutton was steaming, and entered the throat along the lips and teeth, and the chill on Song Jinyue's body immediately dissipated a bit.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks and motioned for several people to use them together, and then they obeyed. They each picked up their own bowls and chopsticks with a smile, sandwiched the mutton in the copper basin, and ate big pieces.

Song Jinyue ordered someone to warm up some rice wine to eat. Perhaps the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pot was burning hot. Everyone was eating mutton and drinking warm rice wine. Their cheeks were flushed, which looked a bit like the costumes of singing on the stage.

Everyone talked and laughed, Song Jinyue ate, watched and listened.

From time to time, the crowd laughed out loud.

In Song Jinyue's heart, at this moment, she is extremely relaxed, without the burden of her past life, only the fireworks and noise in the world in front of her.

It took about an hour after eating a meal, when Qiu Yun helped her young lady out of the ear room, the crescent moon in the sky had already set to the west.

Perhaps because of eating mutton and rice wine, Song Jinyue only covered herself with a thin quilt and slept until dawn, and it was rare that she did not wake up from the nightmare.

When she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Shen, Song Jinyue's cheeks were still slightly red.

Qiu Yun took some powder to cover up the blush on the young lady's face, and then followed the young lady to the Shen's courtyard.

But when they got to Shen's house, they didn't see Shen.

The maidservant in Shen's room came up to answer, saying that Shen had gone to Mrs. Song's courtyard to pay her respects, and she had already gone for two cups of tea.

In recent years, Mrs. Chen has had no parents-in-law to take care of her, so she has lived a comfortable life.
