Madam Song nodded happily. "I heard from Yun'er that your eldest daughter went to the city to open a restaurant. Oh my, I've met that little girl before. I didn't expect her to be so capable at such a young age."
Madam Song's memory is still stuck last year, when she saw Zhao Denglong in the mine.
In my memory, she was a clean-cut and composed girl.
It hasn't been that long, and they're already able to go out and do business to support their families.
It is said that children from poor families mature early. Compared to the wealthy children she met in the capital, these village children were more capable of sharing the burdens of their families at a young age.
He Tiantian chuckled, "That child likes to cook, and I happen to have some money saved up, so I'll rent a shop for her to try her luck."
Old Mrs. Song's eyes were full of admiration. A woman from the village knew how to educate her children.
Excellent, truly excellent.
Song Yun listened attentively from the side, but he couldn't explain why he felt a sense of kinship whenever he saw Aunt He.
“Grandmother, Aunt He’s restaurant in the city is absolutely delicious. It’s even better than Fanlou in the capital.” Song Yun swallowed hard with delight. “When you have time, Grandmother, I’ll take you to the city to have a look.”
"Haha, good, good!" Old Madam Song looked very happy. She turned her head and whispered to He Tiantian, "My grandson has been filial since he was a child. When he was in the mansion, he was never deprived of any food. I have never seen him be as greedy as he is now."
He Tiantian covered her face; she had realized it herself.
However, it was thanks to Director Song's gluttony that she was able to catch such a big fish.
After saying a few more words, Song Yun got up to take his leave and went to the mine with Mo Zhu.
Seeing that it was getting late, He Tiantian decided to get up and say goodbye.
She stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Madam, let me explain to the old woman how to wear this dress."
Madam Song nodded and introduced, "This is my personal maid, Xu. She used to work in the palace, but later came with me."
He Tiantian was somewhat surprised and looked at Xu Mama apologetically, saying, "Xu Mama, I'm sorry for being so presumptuous."
Xu Mama looked to be about the same age as Old Madam Song. Although she was older, her eyes shone brightly.
“I like the girl too, no wonder our old lady likes her.”
These words were a compliment to He Tiantian.
He Tiantian smiled shyly, still feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments.
"Granny Xu, this is a new style of clothing. Let me show you how to wear it."
Granny Xu nodded, placed the bundle on the table beside her, and then opened it to take out the clothes.
There were no men in the house, so they didn't mind.
“Huh, I’ve never seen this kind of clothing before, not even in the capital…” Granny Xu was very surprised.
As soon as she said that, Old Madam Song and all the maids in the room looked over curiously.
Granny Xu held the thermal underwear in front of Old Madam Song with both hands, saying, "Old Madam, please take a look."
Madam Song had never seen this before. She touched it and couldn't help but nod, "Very good, very good. This fabric is soft and delicate; it should be worn when it's cold, right?"
He Tiantian replied with a smile, "That's right, it gets very cold in the village in autumn and winter. This will keep the old lady warm."
He Tiantian patiently explained how to wear thermal underwear, which is actually very simple.
It's much simpler to wear than their ancient clothes.
And that purple cape was also a very simple design.
In this dynasty, wealthy people wore cloaks to keep warm. He Tiantian remembered that the style of the cloak she bought was only available in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the one she gave was the only one of its kind in the world.
It is suitable for someone of Madam Song's status and position.
Xu Mama and Madam Song found it quite novel, thinking that they could try on the two new outfits when the weather got colder.
As He Tiantian left Madam Song's house, she saw a carriage speeding towards her not far away.
Three horse-drawn carriages were already tied up under the old locust tree at the village entrance: one belonging to Zhao Yan's family, one to her family, and one to Director Song's family.
Why is there another horse-drawn carriage now? Has someone in the village become wealthy enough to buy one?
He Tiantian stood watching until the carriage drove up to her.
Upon closer inspection, wow, this carriage is truly magnificent.
It was even more luxurious and opulent than Madam Song's carriage.
He Tiantian was speechless as she watched the carriage stop and a young nobleman alight from it.
The young nobleman was dressed in white, holding a paper fan in his hand, fanning himself slowly and methodically.
Using a fan in this cold weather? What a show-off.
He Tiantian felt that this person looked familiar, and she thought for a moment. Wasn't this Cheng Fang, the wealthy young master from Bailu Academy?
Back when she bought mulberries, she was actually lucky to have this rich kid book the whole place for her.
Could he have come today to apologize to Zhao Yan?
Cheng Fang fanned himself twice with his paper fan, then couldn't help but shiver.
Why is it so cold in this village? All I see are mud houses; they're so poor!
And this place, why does it look so dirty!
Cheng Fang's servant, Afu, tied up the carriage and stepped into the mud with some disdain.
The ground was so dirty that it got his shoes all dirty.
Ah Fu looked distressed. "Young Master, why is the ground so dirty? My shoes..."
He was wearing new shoes today, but they're all dirty...
Cheng Fang was already in a bad mood looking at the filthy place. He slapped Afu on the back of the head, "Stop whining! This is all your doing!"
