Chapter 403 No Comparison, No Harm
The two men entered the yard, and Song Yuntang went into the house to get some tea leaves. He lit a charcoal stove under the grape vines in the yard and boiled water to make tea.
Jiang Surao looked around the yard and saw that Song Yuntang did everything by himself.
"Your yard is big, why don't you hire two servants to serve here?"
Song Yuntang said calmly, "I'm not used to being served by a group of people. Some things are more fun if I do them myself."
Qiuyue behind Jiang Surao looked at her with some curiosity.
If Song Yuntang had said this before, Qiuyue would have only thought that she was making excuses for not having the money to buy someone.
But now she has obviously turned over a new leaf and has also received an imperial edict from the capital. No one in the county dares to provoke her easily, so she naturally has no shortage of money to buy people.
Unexpectedly, she is a person of genuine nature.
Jiang Surao thought about it and felt that what Song Yuntang said made sense.
"I heard that Yujun Pavilion is planning to open a second store in the neighboring provincial capital?"
Song Yuntang nodded and said, "After six months of training, the people in Yingshan City are now able to take charge of their own business. I have asked them to prepare for the opening of a branch store. They should be able to open the branch store before or after your wedding."
"You've given me a surprise. Yujun Pavilion's business is so good. I can lie at home and count money in the future." Jiang Surao looked at her, "Hey, how are you and your Mr. Xu doing?"
When mentioning Xu Qingye, Song Yuntang had a smile on his face.
"We are doing fine, but he has been very busy with his studies recently, and I don't want to bother him, so I want him to focus on business. I'm afraid he will have to spend a lot of money in the future."
"By the way, it's been quite a while since you got married." Jiang Surao pointed her chin towards her belly, "No reaction yet?"
Song Yuntang swallowed slightly embarrassedly.
She is still a virgin, how could she react?
However, this kind of thing only needs to be known to her and Xu Qingye, and must not be told to outsiders, otherwise others will not know what he will think.
"Don't worry, you're one year older than me."
"How can we compare?" Jiang Surao looked at her and said, "You are married, but I am not."
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.
The kettle on the stove had already boiled, so she made a cup of scented tea for Jiang Surao first.
"I mixed this flower tea myself. It is good for beauty and skin. You can try it."
"It's such a good thing, I really have to try it." Jiang Surao picked up the teacup and blew on it, then took a sip. The tea soup filled her mouth with the aroma of flower petals, "It tastes good."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "In terms of taste, I still prefer the sweet soup from Mingyue Tower."
Speaking of Mingyue Tower, Jiang Surao suddenly sat up straight.
"After returning from the county town last year, I haven't been there for almost half a year. Come to think of it, I really miss the roast duck and milk tea at Mingyue Tower. When can we go there again? I'll treat you this time."
The reason I went to Mingyue Tower that time was to vent my emotions.
If I hadn’t tasted it once before at Old Madam Yu Yang’s birthday party, the impression would have been a little faint.
Song Yuntang took a sip of the scented tea and put down the teacup.
"When I return to the county, any time is fine."
…
Jiang Surao chatted with Song Yuntang on and off for half a day at the farm, and had lunch at her place before leaving.
On the fourth day after returning, Song Yuntang went to the town to buy two sets of summer clothes for children, two bags of preserved fruits, and two jars of wine. He also moved some food from the farm to Rongshu Village.
It was she who arranged the marriage between the second brother and Mu Qiu, even earlier than that of Jiang Surao.
Now Jiang Surao's wedding date has been set, but there is still no news about my second brother's marriage. I don't know what my parents think.
It can't be that she, the married sister, has to come forward to set the date, right?
I have to go back and ask them what they mean.
Mu Qiu is seventeen this year and his second brother is nineteen, so this matter can be arranged.
Liu sat at the gate of the yard holding her child and chatting with Tian Qiuyan who lived next door.
Seeing a carriage coming this way from a distance, Liu's face lit up with joy and she hurriedly shouted into the house, "Mother, it seems that Tang'er is back."
"Tang'er is back?"
Zhao, who was weeding the vegetable garden, quickly dropped her work and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Song Yuntang lifted the curtain and jumped out.
"Mother, sister-in-law."
Song Jinyuan now helps her look after the chickens and ducks in the mountains, and Song Jinbao follows Qiao Da and Qiao Er to help her manage the fields. They are not at home now, so only Zhao and Liu are at home with a child.
Zhao Qiao'e was smiling happily.
"Hey, Tang'er, come in quickly."
Liu also stood up holding the child, "Yier, your aunt is back."
Song Yuntang stepped forward and took the child from her.
When the baby was just one month old, he was very soft. Now that he is half a year old, he has grown and become firmer. He feels a little heavy when I hold him in my hands.
But it is already early May, and the child is still wrapped in winter swaddling clothes, which is really a bit too thick.
"Aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of Zhao and Liu.
Even if Liu didn't understand because it was her first time being a mother, Zhao, who was a mother of five children, shouldn't also not understand, right?
The child will get sick if he wears so many clothes.
Tian Qiuyan, who was not far away, muttered quietly, "There is no June for children. How can children know what heat is?"
Song Yuntang glanced in her direction.
When she was still at her mother's house, this Tian had tried to sow discord between them in front of Liu, and she was almost beaten by her.
She had almost forgotten about this matter, but now that Tian had popped up, Song Yuntang remembered it again.
But she really didn't want to talk to such a unreasonable woman.
Song Yuntang looked down at the child in her arms, took her little hand and said with a smile, "Aunt bought two sets of clothes for Yier, let's go try on the new clothes."
As soon as she finished speaking, she carried the child into the yard.
Liu hurriedly caught up with Song Yuntang.
"A baby of a few months old grows fast. Tang'er doesn't need to spend so much money."
Mainly because she felt that the little girl would get married in the future, and she would grow up in a hurry.
You can just wait until you learn to walk and then make a larger set of clothes. There is really no need to spend too much money.
It’s different for sons, as they will marry a wife in the future.
Outside the courtyard, Tian saw that Song Yuntang ignored her and felt unhappy. She snorted coldly.
"You make a few bucks and start looking up to the sky. What's so great about that?"
And there is Liu, who gave birth to a girl, but her parents-in-law treat her like their own daughter. They take care of the child every day and don’t have to do anything. Her sister-in-law gave her a longevity lock and red envelopes, and even brought her two sets of clothes when she came today.
I heard that when the child was born, Song Jinsheng also gave the child a small silver bracelet.
Since she gave birth to her son, her family has never given her anything worthwhile, and she still has to help with all the big and small things.
I didn't feel anything before.
Comparing it to now, I just feel very angry.
He stood up and kicked over the small stool he had been sitting on, then went home with an angry face.
