"Madam, the master and mistress have invited the Su family." The housekeeper rushed to the front hall to announce, "Will you serve the meal?"
"Let's set the table."
"Wait." Si Zhenye intervened, "Madam, we invited the Su family to our house under the pretext of Madam Su coming to take our pulse. Naturally, we need to take our pulse before dining, which is safer."
Simeng nodded: "Then we'll serve the meal after half an incense stick."
Soon, the brothers Si Chuyu and Si Chujin appeared in Simeng's sight, followed by the Su family.
When the old couple saw Su Xingyi's face clearly, they looked at each other. He looked no worse than their two sons!
Simeng's eyes quickly noticed Su Ningwen wearing a mask, and she looked surprised. Why was this child wearing a mask in broad daylight? Was he born ugly?
"Father and mother, let me introduce you." Si Chuyu led the Su family into the front hall. "This is Madam Su, her husband, and their three children."
Su Ningjie took the lead and stepped forward, bowing to the two elders as a junior. "Hello, uncle and aunt. They are my family."
Su Xingyi stepped forward and said respectfully, "I, Su Xingyi, have consulted with Mr. Si and Madam Si."
Si Zhenye hurried forward and helped him up, "Don't be so polite." Si Zhenye glanced at Su Xingyi a few more times while speaking.
Before Xiao Lingyu could speak, Su Ning'an stepped forward and imitated Su Ningjie's manner of greeting the elders of the Si family. "Hello, uncle and aunt. I am Su Ning'an, the eldest son of the Su family. Ningjie is my second brother. I am calling you uncle and aunt as he does. I wonder if that is disrespectful?"
"It's not rude, it's not rude." Si Zhenye quickly helped the chubby child up, touched his round little head, and quickly withdrew his hand. "Good boy, it's just a name."
Su Ningwen took off the mask on his face and said politely and obediently, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am the third child of the Su family, Su Ningwen."
When Si Meng saw Su Ningwen's appearance clearly, her eyes lit up. She had actually thought of something wrong.
How can this be considered ugly?
He was obviously born into a wealthy family!
Simeng helped Su Ningwen up and said, "No need to be so polite, kid."
Seeing that the Si family elders were very amiable, Xiao Xier said in a baby voice, "Hello, uncle and aunt. I am Su Ningxi, the youngest daughter of the Su family. You can call me Xiao Xier."
It was only then that Simeng noticed the faint fragrance in the air and said to Su Ningxi in a friendly manner, "Xiao Xi'er, it turns out that you also like the scent of Xi Hanxiang."
Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "Mother, I forgot to tell you that the fragrant dew that has been so popular among the ladies of the noble families in Huayang County recently was also concocted by Madam Su."
Simeng looked at Xiao Lingyu in disbelief.
"Greetings, Mr. Si and Mrs. Si." Xiao Lingyu took off his veil, and Su Xingyi quickly took it and put it behind his back.
When the old couple of the Si family saw Xiao Lingyu's face clearly, they were stunned for a moment.
The person in front of me has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, skin whiter than snow, and lightly red lips. What a pretty face. She doesn't look like someone who lives in the village. She is clearly a lady from a wealthy family.
"Cough cough cough..." Si Chuyu quickly coughed a few times.
Simeng quickly said, "Madam Su, please forgive my rudeness. Please come in."
As soon as Xiao Lingyu sat down, Simeng's mouth was as bright as a light, "Madam Su, you are really a wonderful person. Not only can you make unique dishes, but you also understand medical principles. You have also taught the children to be so sensible and polite. You really put a lot of effort into it."
To be honest, Xiao Lingyu didn't put in much effort. It all depended on the children's self-awareness and understanding.
"Mrs. Si, the children's father has taught them well, which saves me a lot of worry." Xiao Lingyu traveled through time to find a ready-made sensible and obedient child.
In addition to the children's good nature, Su Xingyi took them home and raised them, so he must have put a lot of effort into educating them.
Upon hearing this, Simeng glanced at Su Xingyi, thinking that it was he who picked up Su Ningjie from the mass grave.
If he had not picked up Su Ningjie from the mass grave, Brother Jie would have really died in the mass grave.
No one knew that the eldest wife of the Lu family was persecuted by those two vicious women from the second and fourth wives, so her relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law would not improve at all.
Her eldest daughter-in-law would never have the chance to get pregnant again, and was even murdered by those two vicious women while she was looking for medical treatment!
Based on her understanding of her eldest son, if such a thing happened, he would never be able to take a concubine or remarry in his lifetime, and she would not be able to have a grandson.
It was thanks to the Su family that she still had the opportunity to have her first grandson. No matter what kind of help Madam Su wanted the Meng family to provide, she would make it happen.
After a brief moment of thought, Simeng said, "Madam Su, the children's father has taught them well, and your contribution is indispensable. My daughter Ayuan will be in poor health next year and will need someone to take care of her. I am uneasy leaving her to others, so I would rather take care of her myself. Before that, I need to take good care of my daughter Ayuan. When I heard that you were in Huayang County, I sent Ayuan to invite you to come to the mansion to take my pulse. I hope Madam Su can help me take good care of her."
Lu Yuan didn't expect her mother-in-law to say that. She didn't say that yesterday, but she felt warm in her heart when she heard it.
Xiao Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "Then how about I take your pulse now?"
"good."
"Madam," Si Zhenye said hurriedly, "I also need to take care of my body. I want to have the energy to take care of my little grandson and accompany him as he grows up."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Then let's take your pulse together."
Lu Yuan looked at the expectation in the eyes of the two elders and wondered what would happen if this baby was not a boy?
Will the two elders be disappointed?
Si Chuyu whispered in his ear: "Don't think too much, whether it's a boy or a girl, parents will like it."
Si Chujin glanced at the couple and thought, wow, they have such a good relationship.
Eh? Where's his wife?
Are you still dressing up in your room?
Si Chujin quickly got up and walked out of the front hall, only to run into Yu who was slowly approaching.
"Why are you here just now? Come with me quickly. It will be your turn after your parents finish taking your pulse." Si Chujin took Yu's hand and walked towards the front hall.
"Wait, where are our three precious daughters?"
Yu said, "Didn't the three sons of the Su family come along? It's inconvenient for them to come out with the outsiders around."
Si Chujin thought about it and it made sense. After all, seven-year-olds shouldn't sit at the same table. The Su family's eldest son looked eight or nine years old and was said to be a big eater. What if he kidnapped her precious daughter? "Has lunch been delivered?"
Yu said, "Don't worry, your three girls won't starve."
Only then did Si Chujin feel at ease and took Yu into the front hall.
Xiao Lingyu was looking sideways towards the door, listening carefully to Si Zhenye's pulse. When Yu came in, she took in Xiao Lingyu's handsome face.
Yu's heart skipped a beat.
A sentence flashed through my mind: The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration.
Mrs. Su deserves this statement, as this is the only woman she admits is prettier than her.
