The next day, Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence early in the morning. When Shen Yue saw her, her face flushed instantly, and she remembered what happened yesterday when she was caught by her uncle.
I don’t know if Uncle San told Aunt San when he got home. I don’t know if Aunt San would think she was shameless.
As soon as Su Qingyu saw Shen Yue's expression, she knew that this girl was having wild thoughts.
She smiled and bowed to the old lady, then said, "Mother, I'm going to Elm Alley today to visit my mother and my fourth sister. I thought Shen Yue would be at home with nothing to do, so why not come with me."
Shen Yue was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really? Third Aunt will take me with you?"
Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Change your clothes and we'll leave now."
Shen Yue immediately forgot what happened yesterday and quickly got up and went in to change clothes.
When the old lady heard that Su Qingyu had gone to see Lin Wanyin, she quickly instructed Aunt Hua, "Go pack two boxes of the Hericium erinaceus that the Yan family sent a few days ago, and also pack a few boxes of the blood swallows."
"Oh, by the way, the chestnut cakes made in the kitchen this morning are sweet but not greasy. I'll also pack two boxes for the fourth young lady of the Su family."
Su Qingyu did not refuse, as this was also her mother-in-law's wish.
She smiled and thanked him, then chatted with the old lady for a while.
Soon, Shen Yue changed her clothes, combed her hair again, and the two of them went out together and got on the carriage.
On the way to Elm Hutong, Su Qingyu said softly, "Did what happened yesterday scare you? Your Third Uncle didn't mean any harm, he just still treats you like a child, so he's a little... serious."
Su Qingyu could imagine what Shen Zhixiu's expression would be like yesterday. When he had a stern face, the younger generations in the family were afraid of him.
Shen Yue still blushed and felt nervous when she thought of yesterday's scene.
"Aunt San knows? I..."
Seeing Shen Yue like this, Su Qingyu hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing. You two just can't help yourselves because you haven't seen each other for so long. People are not made of stone. How can they always stay calm and follow the rules?"
After listening to Su Qingyu's words, Shen Yue felt relieved. She had slept soundly last night, and her dreams were all about her uncle scolding her.
Seeing that Elm Hutong was right in front of her, Shen Yue wondered if Brother Yunzhou could come today.
The carriage drove straight into the yard. As soon as Su Qingyu got off the car, Su Shunci came to meet her.
"Big sister is here, I guessed you would come today."
As long as her brother returned to Beijing safely, the elder sister would definitely come, so she didn't even go to the shop and waited here early in the morning.
Seeing Shen Yue, she also bowed, "Hello, Sister Yue, mother was talking about you this morning."
Su Qingyu helped Shen Yue down, tapped Su Shunci's forehead, and said lovingly, "You are so smart. How is mother?"
Su Shunci led everyone in and whispered, "Mother didn't sleep much last night. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep."
"Guess what happened? At night, my mother prepared some snacks and they drank until dawn."
Su Qingyu laughed and said, "Then let's not go there yet and not disturb them."
"She has already stood up, and the people below are helping her put on makeup and comb her hair." Su Shunci replied.
As they talked, they went into the inner room.
Lin Wanyin has been in poor health recently and often cries and can't sleep at night, so Bai Sulian just stays in the main room.
At this moment, both of them were sitting in front of the dressing table, and He Ye and Feng Ye were putting on makeup for them and choosing jewelry.
Seeing Shen Yue behind Su Qingyu, Lin Wanyin felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have laughed at you, Yue'er. I drank a little too much with your Aunt Lian last night."
Shen Yue greeted him and stepped forward to say, "Auntie, you must be happy. Don't even mention Auntie. I didn't sleep well last night."
Afraid that Lin Wanyin would feel embarrassed, he smiled and said, "I don't have anyone to accompany me, otherwise I would also like to have a couple of glasses of fruit wine to cheer myself up."
Lin Wanyin laughed heartily twice, "When you marry Yunzhou, we'll have a lot of drinking time together."
Su Qingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, Yue'er doesn't know how to drink."
Only then did Lin Wanyin realize that Shen Yue was trying to comfort her. She felt even more that this girl was good, and looked at her with pity in her eyes.
Su Qingyu sent someone to bring the things that the old lady brought. Lin Wanyin smiled and thanked her, saying that the old lady was too polite.
Someone was sent to load the finest red glutinous rice onto Su Qingyu's cart. Ever since she took over the Lin family's grain business in Northern Zhili, she had been sending rice to Old Madam Shen. Of course, it wasn't ordinary rice, but the tribute red glutinous rice that was produced in extremely low quantities in Jiangnan.
Shen Yue smiled and said, "I've been living in Qingyuan Residence these days, and I've been drinking a lot of this porridge made with red glutinous rice. It's also made with red glutinous rice, but the one my aunt sent me is more fragrant and sticky than what we used to eat."
Lin Wanyin has been dealing with rice, so after hearing what Chen Yue said, she told her the ins and outs of rice.
Shen Yue had never been exposed to these things before, so she exclaimed in surprise from time to time.
"Really? I haven't even seen what Auntie is talking about."
"Auntie is amazing! She can even tell if the rice is newly harvested."
"Really? I was wondering why the rice smelled so good, and now I understand why."
Su Qingyu and Su Shunci watched in amazement. Their mother had often told them about food, but neither of them was interested and quickly changed the subject. Yet, Chen Yue was surprisingly engaged in conversation, their unconcerned excitement was beyond Su Qingyu and Su Shunci's comprehension.
And looking at Shen Yue's expression, it didn't seem like she was pretending, she was really willing to listen.
Bai Sulian was sewing clothes, looking up at the others from time to time, a smile on her face. For her, life in Elm Hutong was much more comfortable than at the Su family.
Now she is just waiting for her daughter to get married and put her biggest worry to rest.
When Li Yunzhou came in, Lin Wanyin was explaining to Shen Yue how rice turns into rice.
Su Qingyu and Su Shunci were talking about the shops. In the past few days, Su Shunci helped Hai to tidy up several shops of the Su family, and it would be done in a few days.
From now on, Huajin Pavilion's ready-made clothes will be sold in the Su family's shop.
Although it is equivalent to giving profits to the Su family, Su Shunci can also free up his hands to do other things.
The two looked up and saw Li Yunzhou coming in, and both greeted him with surprise.
Hearing the sound, Lin Wanyin looked towards the door, a smile frozen on her face.
Li Yunzhou was dressed in a dark black brocade robe with dark patterns, a jade crown to hold his hair in place, and a wide brocade belt around his waist, from which hung a simple jade pendant with patterns of good fortune and longevity.
He greeted his two sisters first, then walked up to Lin Wanyin.
He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times to Lin Wanyin.
"My son has been away from home for half a year, which makes me worried."
Lin Wanyin's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She stood up and walked over to help Li Yunzhou up.
"Hurry up and let mother see you."
