The excitement in the marquis's mansion lasted for several days.
The maids in Song Shou Tang discussed privately, saying that the Marquis and the old lady had a big unpleasant argument that day because of Concubine Song's entry into the mansion.
In the end, the old lady was so angry that she fell backwards, the marquis left in anger, and the mother and son parted unhappily.
But this time, the Marquis finally failed to persuade the old lady and finally fulfilled her wish.
The banquet for Miss Song's official initiation was held on the 26th.
On this day, Madam Luo hosted two small plays and set up several banquets in the side courtyard next to Guiyi Hall. She also invited several concubines and maids to join in the fun, and the party lasted for half a day.
Miss Song had a smile on her face and bowed deeply to Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Xiang.
Mrs. Xiang felt sorry for her cousin after all. Knowing that the Song family couldn't afford to give her any money to support herself, she paid for everything for her from head to toe out of her own pocket.
At this time, Miss Song was wearing a silk cloak with orange-red edges, a pomegranate-red silk pleated skirt with gold flowers, she had her hair tied up in a bun, and wore a red gold and pigeon-blood stone headpiece on her head.
It is really dazzling.
Ning'er stood in the yard watching the excitement and joy. She didn't want to come, but the old lady sent someone to tell her to "let the little girls go and see the fun too." So Ning'er had to come with Chuncao and Lingzhi.
After listening to the drama, Ning Er couldn't help but wonder, "Why hasn't the Marquis appeared at this hour?"
Lingzhi smiled and covered her lips, explaining to her softly: "Ms. Song is raising her aunt, and it is a great blessing for the Madam to show her favor and hold a proper banquet and show her face. How could the Marquis come?"
Moreover, all the maids with some seniority in the mansion knew that this wedding was like "forcing a cow to drink water" by the old lady, and there was no telling how reluctant the Marquis was.
Ning'er listened thoughtfully: "But I see that Aunt Song is also genuinely happy and doesn't seem sad at all?"
"It's a great joy for Concubine Song, so why would she be sad?" Lingzhi explained to Miss Ning in detail:
"Mrs. Song's family is humble, and although she is related to the Second Madam, she is still a married woman. If she had not been lucky enough to be favored by the Old Madam, I am afraid that if she had a better family background and age, she would have married a poor widower as a second wife, but if she had been worse off, she would have ended up being a concubine in a merchant's family."
Lingzhi laughed softly and said, "If outsiders knew that our Marquis wanted to take a concubine, I'm afraid many young ladies of officials would be tempted. For someone like Concubine Song to marry into our Marquis's Mansion, it must be a blessing from her previous life."
Ning'er's eyes fell on Song Qiuxin's pretty and charming face.
She suddenly felt a little bored.
Ning'er recalled that when she was a child, the gossipy women in the neighborhood would talk about her mother behind her back. They liked to say that her mother was a concubine of a wealthy family, or that she offended the mistress and was kicked out, or that she was unfaithful and was abandoned by her master.
There is also a group of people with particularly vicious minds who spread rumors that her mother was a prostitute and that she escaped alone because she was pregnant.
Because of this incident, she was bullied by older kids when she was a child and cried countless times in secret.
Such a young and beautiful aunt.
Looking at Song Qiuxin's beautiful smile, she was a little stunned.
Ning'er thought seriously, is it true as they said, that her mother is also a concubine from a wealthy family?
When she got married, was she as happy as Miss Song is today?
Then why did it end up like that?
Ning'er's heartstrings trembled slightly, she simply didn't dare to think further...
Was it true that her husband, her “biological father” at the time, also disliked her mother and disliked herself even more?
----
When greeting the two ladies, Mrs. Xiang's smile became more genuine when she saw her.
She pushed Ning'er to the girls' small table and sat down, saying, "Talk to the sisters and have some fun."
Ning'er was a little absent-minded at first, but seeing how attentive she was, she had no choice but to sit for a while.
Several girls from the second room came out with the aunt. When they saw her coming, they all greeted her kindly. The oldest girl smiled and said, "Sister Ning, you disappeared in the blink of an eye during the last Flower Festival. It took us a long time to look for you."
Seeing her say that, Ning Er felt a little embarrassed and could only apologize honestly: "It's really because I love to play and have never seen the world that I lost my mind playing in the garden and neglected all the sisters."
Everyone just laughed it off.
After listening to another play reluctantly, Ning'er was about to leave when a round-faced maid with two buns came and gave her a message: "Our mistress said that if the young lady is free later, she can go to her place and sit for a while."
Ning'er recognized her as the maid who served in Liu Ying's room. She wanted to decline, but suddenly she thought of something and said, "I'll go back to my room and wash myself. I'm sorry to bother you, Sister Liu, for keeping me here for so long."
The maid smiled and replied, "It's okay. Our master said it doesn't matter when it's early or late. You can take your time."
Ning'er returned to her room with a heavy heart. She shook her head tiredly. The pearls and jade on her head were so heavy that she could hardly bear it.
Zishan came up to help her take off the hairpins and rings. Ning'er complained, "How many are you wearing? They are making my scalp hurt."
Zishan smiled and said, "It's just that I used a pair of solid gold flower ornaments and two sideburns. The girl is used to wearing light clothes, so she is a little uncomfortable."
Chuncao smiled and said, "Girl, you are very gorgeous and beautiful."
Ning Er held her forehead, it was hard to bear such beauty: "Take it all off, help me change it into a loose bun, and use any hairpins, I'm going to see Sister Liu later."
Chuncao said, "Miss, are you going to see Doctor Liu later? I'm going to get medicine from the housekeeper in the mansion, so I'll go with you."
Ning'er waited until Zishan and Lingzhi left her bedroom before she turned to Chuncao and said, "Go get the brocade bundle that I put away at the back of my cupboard."
Chuncao said nothing and did as he was told.
Ning'er stretched out her hand to take it, but Chuncao said hurriedly, "Miss, how can you take it? Let me do it."
Ning'er smiled: "I'm not made of paper that will fall apart if the wind blows. Can't I carry this little weight?" But she didn't force it and took Chuncao to Liuying's yard.
When Liu Ying saw her coming, she smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Miss Ning, for making the trip in person."
Chuncao put down her bag and went to get the medicine. Ning'er said, "Don't bother me. Even if Sister Liu didn't look for me, I would come to find you!"
As he said this, he took Liu Ying into the inner room. Liu Ying asked curiously, "I wonder if the young lady has anything to tell me?"
Ning Er did not say anything, but opened the package herself. In an instant, the snow-white fox fur was spread on the couch, shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention.
Liu Ying looked at the spotless and extremely precious white fox fur and was speechless for a long time. But Ning Er turned around and asked her, "Have you seen this, Sister Liu?"
She shook her head subconsciously: "If I had seen such a treasure, I would definitely remember it."
Ning Er heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her expression was not fake: "Sister Liu, look here."
As he spoke, he gently spread out his fur coat, revealing the word "朝" (Chao) embroidered with gold thread on the inner lapel!
Liu Ying was shocked. Ning Er saw her change of expression and said, "I think Sister Liu also remembers that there was also a word '朝' on the flower note that Sister gave me in the past!"
She stepped forward and held Liu Ying's hand, and said earnestly, "Sister, please teach me, who is the owner of this thing?"
