"Manny, take Qingqing to pick out a couple of nice outfits tomorrow."
In the evening, the Sikong family will be hosting distinguished guests, and all four of us will be there.
It's like taking Qingqing to see the world.
Upon hearing this, Wang Manni forgot all about her meal and looked at Shangguan Weimin with a face full of surprise.
Those phoenix eyes, exactly like Song Qingqing's, seemed to be saying, "Is it true?"
May I?
Shangguan Weimin smiled and nodded, confirming Wang Manni's question.
"That's great!" Wang Manni was so excited she almost hugged Song Qingqing and screamed.
Her husband actually wanted her to take Song Qingqing to the Sikong family?
Does that mean he doesn't object to his daughter having contact with the Sikong family, nor does he object to her being chosen by the Sikong family and marrying into them?
That's really great!
Very good?
Unexpectedly, after she told Shangguan Weimin about Wang Manshi, he immediately said he could accept Song Qingqing.
It seems he did this intentionally, to help his daughter Song Qingqing and help her achieve greater things.
"Manny, Qingqing is pretty, so you must buy her nice clothes. Money is not a problem."
As a member of the Shangguan family, one of the four major families in the capital, Shangguan Weimin was also quite wealthy.
In addition, Guan Weimin doted on his wife, so he naturally felt more favorably toward his stepdaughter who resembled her so much.
"Okay, okay, I'll take Qingqing to get dressed up nicely tomorrow."
Her daughter is so beautiful; if she dresses up a bit more, she'll definitely attract all the young men of the Sikong family tomorrow.
Sikong Xingchen was someone she dared not even dream of, as he was already taken.
This is something everyone in Kyoto knows.
Old Master Sikong had revealed long ago that Sikong Xingchen was going to marry the princess.
Therefore, Wang Manni was still thinking about Song Qingqing marrying Sikong Xingchen's cousin or something like that.
With her daughter's beauty and their relationship, wouldn't it be an easy thing?
Tomorrow, she's determined to make her daughter the envy of everyone.
Having made up her mind, Wang Manni's face lit up with even more joy.
Seeing this, Song Qingqing asked softly, "The Sikong family, the head of the four great families?"
Did I really expect that I'd be able to visit the Sikong family tomorrow?
I'm so excited, but also so nervous.
She lowered her eyes, concealing all the emotions within them.
"Really? You've heard of it too?"
Shangguan Weimin heard from his wife that her daughter was a native country girl.
Unexpectedly, she also knew about the Sikong family.
It seems she's not some clueless village girl after all.
"It's a household name." Song looked up and smiled gently.
That smile concealed many things that were difficult to discern.
Wang Manni and the others were unaware that Song Qingqing and Sikong Xingchen were dating, so they didn't think much about the meaning behind her smile.
They assumed she had only heard about the Sikong family by chance.
After dinner, Song Qingqing lay in bed, thinking about their meeting tomorrow.
The next morning, after a pleasant breakfast, Wang Manni first took Song Qingqing to a large courtyard house.
She handed a set of keys to Song Qingqing, saying, "This is your grandmother's yard. There's a basement below the master bedroom; you can go take a look. Mom will be waiting for you here."
Wang Manni handed the key to Song Qingqing, and then waited alone in the courtyard for Song Qingqing.
Song gently took the heavy bunch of keys, turned around and went into the back of the yard.
This is a large courtyard with three courtyards, it's really big, the kind that would be worth billions in later years.
She walked and stopped along the way, eventually arriving at the master bedroom. She searched around and soon found the entrance to the basement, trying out one key after another.
Finally, he successfully opened the basement door and took a flashlight out of his pocket.
Song Qingqing walked downhill, and soon a basement the size of a basketball court came into view.
Next, there were those densely packed large iron boxes.
It filled half of the basketball court.
Upon closer inspection, each box had a key hanging on it.
Song Qingqing took out the key and tried it. On the third try, it opened. When she opened it, it almost blinded her titanium alloy eyes.
After a moment, Song Qingqing finally saw clearly that the whole box was full of small yellow croakers, and it was all gold.
She swallowed hard. If this place were all gold, she couldn't even imagine how vast a fortune she would inherit.
A little unsure what to do, Song gently reached out and took out two pieces, examined them, and then took a bite. Hmm, she was sure they were real.
Then she closed the box and opened another one. The second one was full of gems and jade, and the third and fourth were all priceless treasures.
Song gently closed the boxes one by one, and suddenly realized that this place might not be safe at all.
Is it really okay to put so many good things here?
Feeling uneasy, she came out. Seeing this, Wang Manni quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you find it?"
Song shook her head gently and said, "I saw it, but I'm worried that this place might not be safe."
"Pfft!" Wang Manni laughed out loud when she heard this. "You don't need to worry about that. Your grandma has someone take care of it. No one but you can get in."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing thought to herself, "Something's not right."
Didn't you say you'd seen it too?
Thinking of it, I asked, "Didn't you say you'd seen it?"
“I have seen it before. Your grandmother took me there. If she hadn’t taken me, I wouldn’t have been able to get in at all.”
"Such a thing is possible?" This is too far-fetched.
Forget it, she herself is an enigma, you can't rely on others.
Perhaps there are things she doesn't know.
Just as Xingchen said, there are still many things in this world that they don't know.
"Alright, those things are safest there, so you don't need to worry."
"Let's hurry up and buy some clothes!" After saying that, Wang Manni led Song Qingqing to the largest department store in Kyoto.
This building still belongs to the Sikong family.
Looking at the department store, which was as big as a shopping mall in the future, Song Qingqing suddenly felt as if she had returned to her previous life.
"What are you spacing out for? Come over here and try on these clothes."
Wang Manni spent a long time browsing in the women's clothing store, only to find Song Qingqing standing outside looking foolish. She assumed Song Qingqing was intimidated by the store's decor and luxury, so she went over to her and pulled her inside.
Then, Song Qingqing started trying on clothes, one after another.
Finally, Wang Manni successfully realized that her daughter was beautiful, so she would look good in anything.
"Sigh, I find all the clothes here to be nice." She sighed, then said to the sales clerk, "Give me one of each of the new arrivals, please swipe my card."
Wang Manni used to buy clothes in large quantities, but not like now, buying a whole season's worth of new styles. It's a bit extravagant, isn't it?
Song Qingqing sat to one side and let her go.
She took it off and changed it again, and took it off again, and did this all morning.
I don't want to move right now.
"The clothes have been delivered..." After giving the address, Wang Manni took Song Qingqing to buy more than a dozen pairs of high heels.
