This time, the person who opened the door was a young man. Seeing them coming over with wedding cakes, he smiled and said, "Aunt, have you just moved in?"

Su's mother responded with a smile, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he handed over the wedding cake.

The boy took it with a smile, "Thank you for the wedding cake, Auntie. Please come in and sit down."

"No, no. I just moved here and I have a lot of things to do at home. I'll come back another day when I'm free."

The young man smiled and agreed, "Okay, then I will definitely prepare a bed for you."

"Give my regards to your parents."

"Yes, I will definitely bring it to you."

The two sides chatted for a while and introduced each other.

The young man saw him off politely.

After delivering the wedding cakes to several neighbors in Qingshi Lane, the mother and daughter moved on to several houses next door and delivered the wedding cakes one by one.

Giving wedding cakes is a way for the newly arrived people to make friends with the people around them. It is also a way to recognize people and let the neighbors know of their arrival.

In one morning, the mother and daughter got to know all the neighbors around them and had a rough idea of ​​where they were.

The Liu family, the first family in Qingshi Lane, is obviously a family of poetry and literature, and the conversation and temperament of the young people can be seen from it.

As for the second family, the Zhao family, only servants were seen, and the servants were quite polite.

The third family is Su Yin’s.

The fourth house was their first stop, and they were immediately turned away. The servant who opened the door had a rude attitude. After taking the things, he closed the door directly. As for the situation of that family, they knew nothing about it.

The fifth and final family, the Jiang family, was warmly received by a Mrs. Jiang. She was very enthusiastic and spoke very intimately. She was a very talkative woman.

The neighbors who lived a little further away all had good attitudes and were very friendly.

It's the first time for both of you to meet, and everything seems to be okay on the surface. No one will really make things difficult for you right away.

When they came back, Su Baozhu saw Su Yin looking tired and asked curiously, "But why do you look so listless when you meet an unreasonable person?"

Su Yin waved her hands helplessly, "Don't mention it. This kind of thing of visiting people and giving gifts is really not suitable for me."

Madam Xu smiled and joked, "Yinyin looks more tired than boxing. It seems that Yinyin would rather box than visit people."

"Auntie, you're right, it's really like that. If you want me to visit you, I'd rather do some boxing. I don't want to visit you anymore in the future, it's too tiring."

Mother Su looked at her daughter's useless look and slapped her in annoyance. "Look at you like this. People who don't know the truth would think you have been carrying sacks all morning. It's just a visit to a neighbor and a wedding cake. Child, please walk less."

Seeing his daughter like that, Su Xiaozhong said to her mother, "She is not suitable. Don't let her go there in the future. Are those neighbors easy to get along with?"

Others were curious too.

"The first family has the surname Liu and is very polite, with scholars in the family. The second family has the surname Zhao..." Su's mother explained the situation of the four families in Qingshi Lane.

After listening to it, several people had a rough idea in their hearts.

"It seems that the house next door is difficult to deal with. The servants are all like this, so it seems that the master..." Madam Xu looked at the first house on the left.

Su Baozhu also looked at the first family on the left, "As long as they don't come to provoke us, it's fine."

"Aunt, what are we having for lunch today?"

Madam Xu was stunned. "Are you still making lunch?"

In the Yong Dynasty, ordinary people only ate two meals a day, morning and evening, but among the nobles and merchants, it was a habit to have three meals a day, depending on the family conditions.

Before, they were on the road, and in order to replenish their energy, they would eat a small amount of food at noon.

Now that I wasn't in a hurry, there was no need to replenish my energy, so I simply ignored this meal.

Even when Xu Niangzi and her family were on the road, they rarely ate at noon, let alone now.

Mother Su was used to the mode of eating on the road before, so she smiled and said, "Eat less at noon, how about some noodles?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The day for warming up the house was set for the day after tomorrow, and the preparations would be made in the next two days.

While the Su family was happily eating hand-rolled noodles, several families in Qingshi Lane had different reactions.

The young man from the Liu family carried the wedding cakes back, put them on the table, and went straight to the main house.

An old woman with white hair was lying in the house. Her face looked miserable and deathly. She was breathing less than she was exhaling and it was clear that she didn't have much time left.

When Granny Liu saw her grandson coming back, she asked with difficulty, "Yunzhou, who's here?"

"Grandma, it's the new neighbor next door who sent us housewarming cakes."

"When do they warm the house?"

"The day after tomorrow." Liu Yunzhou stepped forward to help his grandmother up and placed a soft pillow under her back.

Granny Liu held her grandson's hand and said, "They just moved in, so there won't be many people celebrating. You, you can go and congratulate them with a gift that day and make some good connections."

"Okay." Liu Yunzhou suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "Grandma, you should have a good rest and don't talk."

"If you don't say it now, you'll never have the chance to say it again." She murmured weakly.

"Grandma, you said you would live a hundred years."

"Your parents passed away early, and when your grandmother passes away, you will be the only one left in the family. You must take good care of yourself, get married and start a family, so that your grandmother can have an explanation to the Liu family in her afterlife." Grandma Liu spoke slowly, but every word was made clear, for fear that her grandson didn't hear clearly.

"Well, grandson remembers it."

"You, you must get along well with your neighbors. Even if you suffer some losses, don't conflict with them."

"I'll remember it all. Grandma, your medicine is ready. I'll bring it to you."

Zhao Family

"Who's coming?"

When Zhao saw the doorman coming in with wedding cakes, she immediately realized that they were sent by the neighboring family.

The doorman put the wedding cakes on the table. The mistress, who was supposed to be sick, was full of energy. The master who was away was also drinking tea in the yard.

Zhao looked at the wedding cake, turned to her husband and said, "See, I was right! I told you, it must be someone next door who sent something."

Patriarch Zhao smiled and said, "Madam is really smart and can predict things like a god."

Zhao opened the box and saw the cakes inside. She recognized them as Zhenbaozhai cakes at a glance.

"It's from Zhenbaozhai, and it's quite valuable." Zhao looked at the doorman, "When will they hold the banquet?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Patriarch Zhao glanced at the cakes in the box and said, "Madam, shall we go?"

"They are willing to spend so much money to send Zhenbaozhai, so I think they have just arrived. They don't have many relatives or friends in the capital, so naturally they hope that we neighbors will warm up the party for them and liven up the atmosphere." Zhao analyzed.

"Shall we go then?" asked the head of the Zhao family.

Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see if the others are going. If they are going, we will go. If they are not going, we will not go either."

Patriarch Zhao looked at the wedding cakes on the stone bench and said, "Madam, this is not good, right?!"

Zhao glared at him, and the head of the Zhao family was so scared that he dared not say anything.
