Chapter 318 Su Xue's Coming-of-Age Ceremony 2
Although he didn't have much dealings with Murong Yi, he knew that he was not broad-minded and was not a very kind person.
Of course, being kind or not is not the most important thing. What is important is that he and Yue'er and his wife are sworn enemies, always standing on opposite sides. She is afraid that he will use Su Xue to make trouble, which will not only ruin Su Xue's life, but also alienate the Anding Marquis Mansion.
Second Master Su couldn't help but understand what First Master Su meant. He said helplessly, "This is Xue'er's wish. We have no choice but to oblige. Let's not discuss this today. Let's first take care of Xue'er's coming-of-age ceremony. There will surely be many people coming today."
One of the brothers entered the Ministry of War and the other entered the Ministry of Revenue, both of which were important departments, so it was inevitable that people would come to curry favor with them.
Uncle Su nodded: "Okay."
The two brothers felt helpless and sighed in their hearts. They hated Murong Yi in their hearts for creating such a big problem for the Su family, making them feel so caught in a dilemma.
At this time, in Xihe Palace, Concubine Yun took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Nanny Chen, saying, "Mammy, please send someone to deliver this to the Anding Marquis's residence."
Nanny Chen looked at Concubine Yun in surprise: "Your Majesty, is this the coming-of-age gift you're giving to Miss Su Er?"
Concubine Yun nodded indifferently, and there was no sign of anything unusual in her expression.
Nanny Chen took the box and looked at Concubine Yun strangely. Ever since Su Yue forced the poison into her mouth, she had become even more silent. Apart from dealing with the affairs of the harem every day, she basically didn't ask about things outside the palace, not even about Old Madam Yun's affairs.
How could he be so kind as to give Miss Su the coming-of-age ceremony today? Concubine Yun knew how much she hated Su Yue.
Nanny Chen took the box and went outside the palace. She found a secluded place and carefully opened the lid of the box to see what was inside.
If it was something bad, she would just replace it. After all, she had the key to Yunfei's warehouse.
When Nanny Chen opened it, she saw a set of gold head ornaments inside. The quality of the head ornaments was very good and the workmanship was very exquisite. It was a very fashionable style suitable for young girls to wear, and it was very suitable for Miss Su Er to wear.
Nanny Chen looked through them for a few times and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with them. She instructed a senior palace maid serving Concubine Yun and she went out of the palace herself to deliver the things to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.
She felt relieved only after she personally sent him to the Marquis' Mansion.
When Nanny Chen arrived at the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, she saw that the entrance was very lively. Many guests had come, and many people knew her. They knew that she was the nanny beside the Imperial Concubine, and many people came up to greet her.
She directly handed the gift to the eldest lady. The Su family had not split up openly, and the eldest lady was in charge of the family. After the eldest lady took the box, she asked the second lady Su to receive her here, and she invited Nanny Chen to go into the flower hall.
After calling the maid to make tea, the lady said, "Please go back and thank the Imperial Concubine. Thank you for remembering Xue'er's coming-of-age ceremony. The Marquis' Mansion thanks you."
Nanny Chen was personally received by the eldest lady. She represented Concubine Yun, so she had to receive her personally to show respect.
Nanny Chen waved her hand and said, "Madam, you don't have to be so polite. The Queen is just quiet and reserved, but she actually has a good heart."
The eldest lady just listened to this and thought it was quite nice. Can people with good hearts survive in the palace?
She smiled and said, "That's what Mammy said."
Nanny Chen took a sip of tea and said, "The Madam is very busy today, so I won't bother you anymore. I will return to the palace to report to the Madam."
The eldest lady said politely, "Madam, please come back after lunch."
Nanny Chen waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will serve you three meals a day."
"Well then, when you have time, come to the mansion to play."
Nanny Chen smiled and nodded, then stood up and said goodbye.
The eldest lady immediately took out a purse and placed it in Nanny Chen's hand: "Nanny, you are busy, so I will not keep you here. I will come to the palace to thank you another day."
Chen Momo did not refuse. She put the purse in her arms and left the mansion with the eldest lady. After the eldest lady sent her to the carriage, she came back to entertain other guests.
There are indeed quite a few guests today, and many important officials from the city have come with their families.
There is still a second son in the Marquis's Mansion who has not yet arranged a marriage, and many young ladies have also come.
Some of them also brought their illegitimate sons and daughters. Doesn’t the Marquis’ Mansion have a pair of twin illegitimate children? It’s about time to discuss their marriage.
The eldest lady knew what was going on, but she was embarrassed. Su Xue's coming-of-age ceremony was not a big one, but so many guests came at once that the food in the kitchen was not enough. She went to find Su Yue and told her the situation.
"Don't worry about the ingredients, Mom. Just entertain the guests. I have a plan."
The eldest lady nodded and said, "Then I'll leave the kitchen affairs to Yue'er. There are many guests coming today, so mother will go to entertain them, so you don't have to go."
When leaving, the eldest lady also explained that Su Yue was no longer a girl from the Su family, but the princess consort of Prince Li, so she didn't need to go out to entertain those female relatives.
Outside, there were her, Madam Su Er, and Su Yan. The three of them were enough to entertain the female members of the family.
The male guests included Brother Su Daye and Brother Su Qiwen.
I originally wanted Luo Meiting to come over to help entertain the female relatives, but their wedding ceremony is the day after tomorrow. It is inauspicious for the bride and groom to meet each other three days before the wedding.
So Luo Meiting did not come today, only Luo Dinghai and his wife came. After presenting gifts, they also joined the Su family in entertaining the guests, which relieved some of the burden on the three ladies.
Su Yue returned to her yard and used her mental power to check. Sure enough, she found that the prepared ingredients were not enough. She immediately used her mental power to put some of the ingredients in the space into the warehouse, and then found Liang Bo and told him that there were ingredients in the warehouse.
Uncle Liang was worried about this matter. If he went to buy it immediately, it would be too late.
Now that was good, he breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Seeing that there were not many servants in the Marquis' Mansion and not enough people in the kitchen, Su Yue directly released her mental power and returned to the Prince's Mansion. She gave Jiang Bo a note and asked him to bring the servants and people in the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion to help.
Jiang Bo suddenly saw a note appear in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the handwriting on it was Su Yue's, he hurriedly called the servants and the people in the kitchen, and drove two carriages to the Anding Marquis Mansion.
With the help of people from the Prince's Mansion, the problems in the kitchen and the front hall were solved.
Murong Li and his friends didn't stay in the study for long. When the guests came, they moved to the living room to help greet them.
With these two giant Buddha statues, ninety-nine percent of the officials in the capital came.
The old marquis was both happy and worried. He didn't want to see such a scene. The emperor was a very powerful person. He would never like his ministers to be so grandly displayed.
