Chapter 82 Do all restaurants have this kind of service?
[With the title of a first-rank imperial lady, there is no point in getting a divorce! 】
Su Qianqian wailed in her heart, but the Qin family members were filled with joy: This imperial edict came at the right time!
But not accepting the title would be tantamount to disobeying the imperial order, and she was not so smart.
Su Qianqian had no choice but to endure the pain and dress up. Old Madam Qin and several ladies of high rank changed into formal attire and went to the main hall in the front yard with Su Qianqian to wait for the eunuchs.
The eunuch Zhu was a popular figure around the emperor, and he was able to personally come to the mansion to present the imperial edict and title to the lady, which gave enough face to the Wuning Marquisate.
"...Su, the wife of Qin Hanzhang, Marquis of Wuning, is intelligent, gentle, kind and virtuous... She is specially granted the title of Lady of Ninghe State, and the master shall execute it."
The eunuch read out the imperial edict, Su Qianqian took it and thanked him, and invited Eunuch Zhu to take a seat and have some tea. Naturally, a bag of gold leaves was also quickly delivered to Eunuch Zhu.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Zhu." Old Madam Qin greeted with a smile.
"I dare not say that I have worked hard. Marquis Wuning has made great contributions to the country and is highly valued by His Majesty. I have also heard about the things that have been going on in the streets in the past few days. Marquis Wuning's family is sincere to the emperor, and His Majesty will definitely know about it."
Eunuch Zhu's words were considered to be a leak of "heavenly secrets", but if he had not had the emperor's tacit approval or instruction, he would not have said this for a bag of gold leaves.
Su Qianqian was secretly delighted that all these efforts were not in vain.
It is still unknown whether or not they can leave the Marquis' Mansion and when they can leave. Consolidating the city walls, winning over allies and resolving suspicions are only the basis for transforming the crisis in the Marquis' Mansion. The next step is to find out the villain behind the scenes who is targeting the Qin family.
Eunuch Zhu completed his tasks, both overt and covert, and stood up to take his leave and return to the palace to report. Old Madam Qin asked Madam Duan to give orders to hold a banquet in the mansion today to celebrate Su Qianqian's official title.
Su Qianqian didn't think there was anything to celebrate: she was now saving her husband and her entire family for some unknown woman, and she had to remain a virgin and not take advantage of her.
It's like watching someone's treasure house. The money you risk your life to protect is not yours. The key is that the money is too tempting and looks pretty good...
Before the dinner, Old Madam Qin officially announced to everyone that Su Qianqian was Madam Ning Heguo of the Wuning Marquisate. Just like Madam Ning Wuguo of the Du family and Madam Qin's Madam Ning Anguo, she was another generation of clan lady of the Wuning Marquisate and no longer the Third Young Master's wife.
From now on, Old Madam Qin will be called Madam Qin Tai, Mrs. Du will be the old madam, Mrs. Liu will be the second old madam, Mrs. Meng will be the third old madam, Mrs. He will be the first madam, and Mrs. Xin will be the second old madam.
Everyone obeyed the dowager's order. Qin Fu and Nanny Cheng would convey this to all the servants that from now on, Su Qianqian's title as the wife of Marquis Wuning was set in stone. There were only two ways to get rid of this identity: the emperor would deprive her of the title, or she would be divorced by the Qin family because of her serious mistake.
No matter which of these two paths she chooses, Su Qianqian's life is basically over.
Madam Qin was happy and asked Nanny Duan to get a jar of aged osmanthus wine and distribute some to the female members of the family. Normally, drinking was not allowed in the Wuning Marquis's mansion because they were afraid that the general would get drunk and cause trouble.
Su Qianqian boasted that she had a decent alcohol tolerance: she could drink two bottles of beer! So she calmly asked the serving maid to pour the wine.
As the lady raised the wine cup, Su Qianqian took a small sip. It tasted sweet with a hint of osmanthus fragrance.
Um? Isn't this one of those drinks that has a hint of alcohol in it? Su Qianqian became bolder and followed the example of the Third Old Lady Meng, finishing it in one gulp, smacking her lips quietly: It tastes good.
"Qianqian, although this aged osmanthus wine tastes sweet, it has a strong aftertaste. Don't drink too much." When Su Qianqian held out the wine cup and asked the maid to pour the seventh cup, Madam Qin reminded her.
Su Qianqian looked at Madam Qin and shook her slender index finger: "It's okay, Grandma, Qianqian is really fine, but Grandma, please don't drink anymore. You keep shaking and you can't even sit still."
Qin Yuzhuo and her sister burst out laughing when they heard this. They didn't expect that Su Qianqian's alcohol tolerance was just like her name: too shallow.
Qin Hanzhang frowned slightly. He didn't drink alcohol. Seeing that Su Qianqian was drunk, he apologized to Madam Qin and left the banquet with Su Qianqian, who still wanted to continue drinking.
In the sedan chair, Su Qianqian pointed at the stars in the sky and muttered, "We have these at home, too. They're the same, but not as bright, not as close... and not as sparkling."
Su Mu, who was following behind, clasped his hands nervously.
Qin Hanzhang walked calmly beside the sedan with his hands behind his back, listening to Su Qianqian's instructions.
"This yard is too big, it's not good, it's a waste of resources, we should build a few... "Su Qianqian's rest of the words were covered by the strange voice.
Su Mu patted his chest quietly: Fortunately, the gods did not let the girl reveal the secret, otherwise the girl might be in danger.
Qin Hanzhang discovered it and was also wondering if there was something preventing Su Qianqian from revealing her secret. Could it really be gods or ghosts?
No matter what it was, Qin Hanzhang didn't care much. Instead, he thought that those who were bewitched by the monsters were understandable...
[My dear, please stay calm, put down your weapons, and don't fight in vain. Before all the answers are revealed, you are just a tool, and the planning of urban construction is not part of your mission. 】
The system reminded Su Qianqian in time.
【No! No! I just miss home. I miss the old days... sizzle... miss it... sizzle... miss it... sizzle... bullshit! Don't let me speak! 】
Su Qianqian slapped the armrest in anger. The women carrying the sedan chair thought they were not carrying it properly and kept apologizing in panic.
"It's okay. It has nothing to do with you. Just keep going." Qin Hanzhang ordered calmly.
[My lady, you can sing. This is your only talent. You can sing whatever you want! 】
The system is exhausted. How difficult it is to comfort a drunkard, especially a drunkard with many secrets to keep secret.
[Oh, singing, that’s my favorite song…]
Su Qianqian's voice was a little low. After a pause, a low and melodious song rang out. In the quiet night, it rang in Su Qianqian's heart and in the ears of Qin Hanzhang and Su Mu.
[Wind blowing through the wilderness, please walk slower, I use silence to tell you that I am drunk, the night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet, so quiet that even the wind cannot be heard...
Clouds drifting towards the horizon, please walk slower. I will run to tell you that I will not look back. The night of Ulaanbaatar is so close, so close that even the clouds don’t know, don’t know…】① Note
Qin Hanzhang was shocked. The sound was like the willow leaves blowing by the soldiers who were homesick when he was in the northern border. It was ethereal, lingering and sad, but the tune was unheard of. Ulaanbaatar, this strange name, is it her hometown?
Su Mu followed the sedan chair, tears streaming down her face without her realizing it: The girl is missing her mother...
After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, Su Qianqian refused to go back to her bedroom after getting off the sedan chair. Even when the maids came to help her, she waved her hands away and walked unsteadily in a serpentine manner.
Qin Hanzhang went over and held her horizontally in his arms. She looked at Qin Hanzhang's face with a dazed look: "Does the restaurant have this kind of service now?"
