Chapter 878: Gentle Miss Song

There are really many people in the Song family. Although none of them hold high-ranking official positions, there are many officials and their wives. Zhulan has investigated the Song family and can naturally identify Miss Song, the cousin of Bai in the hall.

Next to Miss Song is her mother, whose surname is Liu. Liu is a mother who loves her daughter very much and is very concerned about her daughter's marriage, which wins Zhulan's favor.

Mrs. Liu was rather plump, but it was obvious that she was a beauty when she was young. With a beautiful mother, the daughter would naturally be very pretty. Miss Song looked like a painting when she sat still.

Xue Han was stunned. Miss Song's beauty was not in her face, but in her orchid-like temperament. Xue Han thought to herself, Brother Wu Ming is so lucky.

Zhulan sat down with Bai. The seat was well arranged, and Liu sat next to her. There were too many people, and Bai could not take care of them all, so she went out soon to greet people.

Liu greeted first, "Sister."

Zhulan had no connections with the Song family, and the Song family was low-key, so she had never met Liu at a banquet in the capital. "Lady Liu."

Liu patted her daughter's hand and said, "This is my daughter Song Lan."

Zhulan also pulled Xuehan over, "This is my little girl Zhou Xuehan."

Liu looked at Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou had received good reviews in the capital during her six months of work. Of course, her marriage was also something that people envied and talked about. "Miss Zhou looks like a lady."

Zhulan was also happy that her daughter looked like her. If she told Zhou Shuren about this, she would really cry, "It's Miss Song who looks like you too."

Liu quickly calculated what Miss Zhou would wear. Needless to say, the material of the clothes was the best from the cloth shops in Beijing. The key was how to wear it, from the bracelets to the head ornaments. She only had a few words in her mind: the Zhou family was really rich. "The gemstone bracelet on Miss Zhou's hand is very rare."

Zhulan saw the shock in Liu's eyes, but this really had nothing to do with the Zhou Mansion. This was a gift from Rongchuan to Xuehan. She didn't know when Rongchuan started to like shopping. Of course, he didn't buy only for Xuehan. Some of her jewelry were also given by Rongchuan. Zhou Shuren was jealous for a long time at that time. Zhou Shuren also wanted to buy them, but he was not as generous as Rongchuan. Rongchuan is now so generous that he is inhumane.

Zhulan smiled. She couldn't say it was a gift from Rongchuan. "Ms. Song's hairpin is rare."

This is the truth. Look at the carved hairpin. The orchid on it looks like the real thing. She liked it at first sight.

Liu smiled. This was because of her dowry. It was also very expensive. Well, the Song family was not short of money. "This is a piece of jade I picked from my dowry and asked a master to carve it. I only have two daughters. The eldest has been married for many years, and this little daughter is also the youngest. There are some for the eldest daughters, so there will naturally be no shortage of little daughters."

Zhulan felt very proud. It was Liu's dowry. She had inquired about the dowry of Liu's eldest daughter. The Song family had a solid foundation. The wealth accumulated by each branch over the years was huge. The dowry back then was also talked about with great relish, not to mention the additional dowry of each branch.

Zhu Lan thought to herself that Wu Ming had overcome many difficulties in his life and now he had found a good match. "You are a man who loves his daughters-in-law. The whole capital knows it."

Liu liked to hear this. She really loved her daughter because she also loved her parents. So when her daughter's engagement was broken off, she was furious and wanted to find someone better than the previous one. "You also love your daughter. I also heard about the dowry."

That is real money given to the son-in-law. But then again, when you think about it, a large amount of dowry must be given when marrying a daughter of a noble family.

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "We are all experienced people. It is even harder for daughters, so we naturally have to favor them a little more."

Liu particularly agreed with this. As a daughter of an aristocratic family, she was respected and respected, but she was also helpless. Those with good luck would enjoy unlimited glory, while those with bad luck could only acknowledge their bad luck. Liu had agreed to her daughter's marriage simply because she admired Yang.

Liu hoped that her daughter could get along well with Yang. Yang and Wu Ming were related by marriage, and although Yang would not interfere in the Wu family's backyard, her information told him that the Zhou family had helped the Wu family a lot. In the heart of this future son-in-law, the Zhou family was both a benefactor and a relative.

Especially since it was Lord Zhou who arranged for his future son-in-law to come to Beijing, this favor is even greater.

Zhulan and Liu chatted about other things. The lady and Miss Song were also chatting behind them. Zhulan didn't listen much and focused on chatting with Liu.

Although some people attending the banquet were puzzled as to why Zhulan and Liu got along so well, they began to overthink it as Miss Song had reached marriage age and the Zhou family did not have a suitable candidate for engagement.

The banquet ended quickly and Zhulan and Liu left together.

At first, Liu was here to get her daughter to have more contact with Yang. After chatting, Liu liked Yang very much and said affectionately, "I don't like to go out, but if you go to Zhou's house, I'd be happy to go and I'll definitely visit you someday."

Zhulan also liked Liu because Liu's thoughts were partly in sync with hers. "Okay, I'll definitely prepare some refreshments for you."

Because Yang was of higher rank, Liu signaled for Yang to get on the carriage and leave first. Zhulan did not refuse and got on the carriage first.

Liu waited until the carriage left before taking her daughter into the carriage. Song Lan rarely saw his mother so happy. "Mother, do you like Yang Shu-ren very much?"

Liu admitted generously, "I like her. You know that sometimes my thoughts are a little extreme. I didn't expect that Yang and I could get along well."

Song Lan thought to himself, mother was being too reserved. She was spoiled from childhood, and her personality was different from that of other young ladies from wealthy families. She was really brave, and only restrained herself after she married father.

In the Zhou family carriage, Xue Han said, "Mother, Miss Song is really gentle. My daughter feels so comfortable talking to her. She is gentle and caring. Of course, she is also well-educated. It is really unfair that such a good person was rejected."

Although Xue Han received good reviews after arriving in the capital, she also had shortcomings. Even with the teaching of Fourth Sister-in-law, she still had some deficiencies. Miss Song gave her a lot of guidance just now and even took her feelings into consideration. She is such a gentle person.

Zhulan laughed, "You should be grateful for breaking off the engagement. If not, we wouldn't have had anything to do with it."

Xue Han was stunned, "Mom, what did you say?"

There is no one in her family who is suitable for Miss Song. Jiang Du is indeed of engagement age. It's not that she looks down on her elder sister and brother-in-law, but there is too much difference between them. Even if he is the grandson of the Zhou family, to be honest, the Song family with such a family background really doesn't look down on their eldest nephew.

Besides, Miss Song is already an adult, a few years older than her eldest nephew!

Zhulan took the lady's hand and whispered the name Wu Ming in her ear. How could she not know what the lady was thinking? Even if Wu Ming was marrying above her station, and even though Miss Song had been rejected once, the prince was still the one pulling the strings!

Xue Han covered her mouth. This was really big news. She was just thinking that her mother was too enthusiastic towards Lady Liu today. It was the first time she saw her mother so enthusiastic.
