He also told each of them to wash themselves thoroughly.
After everyone was familiar with the new clothes and dressed in new clothes, the whole house looked much more presentable.
Aunt Wang was born in a duke's mansion and later went to live in a wealthy businessman's house. Naturally, she knew more than others. Su Yin handed the matter of tomorrow's housewarming wedding banquet over to her.
She was in charge of all the arrangements for personnel and receptions in the mansion.
After receiving the task, Wang Ma knew that the eldest lady valued her and was also testing her, wanting to see her abilities.
Naturally, Wang Ma put her utmost attention into handling this matter.
When Wang Ma heard Su Yin asking the restaurant to send over the dishes, she tried to persuade her not to do so. Not only her, but even Zhang Ma, who was waiting to show off her skills to the host, objected.
"Madam, Miss, we can take care of the banquet. There is no need to ask the restaurant to deliver it. It is troublesome and expensive."
"Miss, my cooking skills are in no way inferior to those of the best restaurants in the capital." Aunt Wang patted her chest and made a promise.
Aunt Zhang was a little shy, but she also said, "Madam, Miss, if you are worried, I will show you my skills tonight. If it's okay, we can do it ourselves tomorrow."
Su's mother was somewhat tempted, but she did not make a decision. Instead, she looked at her daughter.
Su Yin believed what they said, "Okay, it's OK. After all, the restaurant has paid the deposit. There will be many people coming tomorrow, and you only have so many people, so you will definitely not be able to handle it. How about this, the restaurant will send some dishes, and you can prepare some dishes and cakes. Next time we prepare a banquet at home, we will definitely not invite the restaurant."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. I wonder which restaurant the young lady has booked and what dishes she has ordered."
Su Yin handed over the menu directly. Aunt Zhang couldn't read, but Aunt Wang knew some. After looking at the menu, she had an idea in her mind.
By handing over all the tasks to the people below you, you will feel more relaxed and don't have to keep an eye on them or worry about them all the time.
Su Yin really doesn't want to care about these things, and is not good at them.
Su's mother had never done this alone and was also a novice.
Looking at the family being arranged in an orderly manner, Su's mother smiled and said, "I never dared to dream of such a life before."
"Mom, you can think boldly and without worries in the future."
"It would be nice if my brothers were here."
When she thought of the two children, Su's mother's mood instantly became depressed.
"We'll find them."
The next morning, the whole family got up early. The seven people who had just arrived home yesterday got up earlier than them and started to get busy early, especially Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang who were in charge of food today.
The two went to buy fresh ingredients early in the morning, and after returning, they started tinkering with them without stopping.
Xiangling and Xiangcao helped in the kitchen before the guests arrived.
The doorman, General Qu, cleaned the courtyard and the area outside the door thoroughly, while Mo Yu and the coachman, Uncle Huo, set out the tables, chairs and benches for the reception.
The better ones are specially rented from people, but the placement and cleaning of these things are the responsibility of the owner.
Yesterday they hung up red lanterns and festive red silks, and the whole house was filled with joy.
After the hour of Mao, my uncle, Butcher Yang, and Doctor Li's families arrived with gifts.
They had originally planned to come and help earlier, but were stunned when they saw the extra maids, servants, and cooks in the mansion.
The little aunt held Su's mother's hand and sat in the backyard. Just as she was about to say something, the maid Xiangling brought tea and said respectfully, "Madam, please have some tea."
After Xiangling left, the aunt withdrew her scrutiny and said to Su's mother, "Sister, you are living the life of a landlord's wife."
Mother Su smiled and said, "I thought there was no need to buy these people because there were only a few of us at home. My husband and daughter both said they needed them, saying that the neighbors all had them and we couldn't fall behind, otherwise we would be laughed at. I think they are not afraid of being laughed at, they just want to enjoy themselves."
How could the aunt-in-law not see the deep happiness on Su's mother's face? She smiled and said, "Yinyin is amazing. I feel that brother-in-law has changed a lot since he came back this time. He must have abilities that we don't know about to be able to reach that position. Brother-in-law has abilities, and Yinyin also has abilities. Sister, you will be blessed in the future."
As the two were chatting, the Li family, who lived in Xinghua Village a little further away, came over one after another, and suddenly a group of people poured into the courtyard.
The hustle and bustle at the Su family's side naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
Patriarch Zhao urged, "Are you okay?"
"Here I come."
The two looked at the carriage parked in the alley, listened to the voices inside, and whispered to each other.
"I thought that since this family had just arrived, there wouldn't be many people coming to celebrate, but there are so many."
"You are underestimating me."
As they walked to the door, they ran into the Jiang couple.
The couple were also surprised after seeing the Su family's excitement.
Liu Yunzhou followed the first two families in and presented gifts.
Mo Yu was writing the gift list at the door. Every time he wrote a gift list, someone at the gate would sing a chant, and everyone in the room could hear it.
These are the customs of the Dayong Dynasty.
As the neighbors from Qingshi Lane arrived, neighbors from farther away also came one after another to congratulate.
Because the mistress of the Qian family was still in a coma, the gifts were delivered but the person did not come.
"Mr. Qian, I'll give you a gift of one hundred taels of gold and a branch of hundred-year-old ginseng."
Everyone inside and outside the courtyard was shocked when they heard the gift money.
The neighbors in Qingshi Lane who were familiar with the Qian family were not surprised at all. The reason was that Qian Jin was a generous person and was always generous to his neighbors.
The Su family has helped them so much this time, so it is only natural that they should give them this generous gift.
I’m afraid this generous gift is just a small thing, and there will definitely be another generous gift later.
After all, it was a life-saving grace.
The people in Xinghua Village and Lijia Village didn't know about this. When they heard about such a generous gift, they were all surprised and asked the reason.
Then I learned what had happened from Xu Niangzi, Daya and others.
Since the people from Xinghua Village entered the house, they surrounded Daya and asked her questions and greeted each other for a while.
Daya was also happy to see so many familiar faces at once.
The guests were chatting in groups of three or four. At the entrance of Qingshi Alley, a luxurious carriage was driving towards this side, but it was blocked as soon as it reached the intersection.
"Master, there are a lot of carriages parked in the alley. Should we go there?"
"Stop right here."
"Okay."
The servant held the reins tightly, then carefully controlled the horse and slowly stopped the carriage. After the carriage had completely stopped, he lifted the curtain. As the curtain was lifted, a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of people.
