Chapter 161 Chapter 161 The maid agreed...
The maid responded and walked forward to pick up the pot of milk tea and poured it.
When Zhu saw that milk was poured out of the pot, she was stunned for a moment. After all, she had drunk that milk before. It had a very strong smell and it tasted better only when put in pastries.
"There are rose petals in here too."
"Not only that, there are also wolfberries and dried red dates."
"What is this?"
The other ladies came over, and one of them, named Gao, even picked it up and examined it carefully.
"It smells so good! Let me try it." Madam Gao took a sip, and her expression instantly became one of enjoyment. "It's delicious."
"I'll try."
"Let me try too."
Several people picked up their cups and started drinking. Zhu was even more enthusiastic. The milk did not have any fishy smell at all. Instead, it had a rose fragrance and was sweet. It was just right to drink in the cold weather. It warmed up all the internal organs.
This time, Zhu was completely impressed by Su Li's ingenuity.
After the banquet, she gave Su Li an extra 5 taels of silver as a reward.
When Su Li left Zhu's house, she left with 25 taels of silver in her pocket. She weighed her purse and a smile appeared on her face. It felt so good to earn money.
At this time, Chen, a woman, and a young man were sitting together in the teahouse, drinking tea.
"Auntie, have some tea." The young man had a pair of beautiful, affectionate eyes and a handsome face. Chen looked at him once, twice, and three times, feeling extremely satisfied, with a smile on her face that never faded.
"Thank you, young master."
"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Sanlang."
"Okay, then I'll call you Sanlang." Chen took advantage of the situation to get closer to him.
Seeing this, the woman next to him smiled and jokingly said, "Sister, you shouldn't call him Sanlang anymore. Just call him Mud Monkey, haha."
Chen was curious, "How can that be possible? Sanlang is so handsome, how can he be related to a mud monkey?"
Luo covered her mouth and laughed, and the next second she wanted to get rid of the man's past, "You don't know..."
"Mother..." Zhao Fu quickly stopped her, pretending to be angry, "My son is already this old, and you're still saying these things in front of outsiders. Aren't you afraid that Auntie will laugh at you?"
He is good-looking, and even though his tone is a little angry when he speaks, it doesn't sound effeminate, but rather adds a touch of charm.
At this time, Chen noticed Su Li with her sharp eyes, and was afraid that she would pass by, so she quickly stood up and greeted her.
"Wu Ya, over here." The voice was so loud that everyone in the teahouse looked over. When Su Li came closer, she turned around and introduced herself to Luo's mother and son.
"This is my little daughter, Su Li."
"Su Li, this is your Aunt Luo, and this is your Third Brother Zhao."
"Aunt Luo, Third Brother Zhao." Su Li greeted them obediently.
"Hey, you must be the fifth girl. You are so pretty, just like your mother." Luo was speaking from the heart. When she saw Chen just now, she knew that Su Li must be pretty, but she didn't expect to find out that she was even prettier than she had imagined when she saw her in person.
Zhao Fu, who was standing next to him, was also stunned when he saw Su Li. Earlier, when he heard that the girl introduced to him was a young lady who made food, he was not very happy, because in his impression, a young lady who made food should be dusty and have a mediocre appearance all day long. Although he did not have too high requirements for the appearance of his future wife, he did not want to face such a face all day long.
Later, it was his father who persuaded him to go and meet her first. Unexpectedly, he got such a big surprise.
On this side, Luo saw her son was stunned and gave him a gentle push, "Sanlang, what are you doing?"
Zhao Fu woke up as if from a dream and bowed, "Fifth sister."
Su Li also returned the greeting, and then the few of them sat down.
However, as soon as they sat down, Luo and Chen went to the toilet as if they had made an appointment, and in the end only the two of them were left.
As soon as the two left, Su Li felt a little embarrassed. She had never been on a blind date before and really didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Zhao Fu was outgoing and spoke in a humorous and funny way, and soon made Su Li laugh.
On the other side of the teahouse, "Sir, look, isn't that Madam Su? Who is she with?"
Shu Jiu pointed in the direction of Su Li and said casually to Song Ling.
Song Ling followed his gaze and saw this scene. For a moment, the air seemed to stagnate. Shu Jiu touched his arm. Why did he feel that the weather had suddenly become colder?
"Sir, it seems there are no empty seats." Shu Jiu looked around but didn't find any empty tables.
"Um."
"Master... Hey, Master, where are you going..." Shu Jiu wanted to say something when he saw his master going towards Su Li.
What is the master going to do? Shu Jiu was puzzled, but he soon realized.
The young master is really smart. Isn't there an empty seat at Madam Su's place? When Young Master Li arrives later, Madam Su might just leave. Then the seat will be theirs!
The more Shu Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, so he quickly followed.
"Madam Su, are you here too?"
Su Li was listening to Zhao Fu talking about interesting things in the military camp. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw that Song Ling had arrived in front of her without her knowing.
"Mr. Song!"
"Mr. Song!" Zhao Fu also saw Song Ling and quickly stood up.
"I hope I didn't disturb you." Song Ling walked over for some reason. When he reacted, he found that he was already in front of the other party. There was some annoyance in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash and he soon returned to his previous appearance.
Zhao Fu quickly replied when he heard this, "Don't bother me, Mr. Song, please take a seat."
Zhao Fu had never come into direct contact with someone like Song Ling before, and he was so excited that even his words were a bit flattering.
"Waiter, bring another pot of good tea."
The waiter brought the tea, and Zhao Fu stood up and poured tea for Song Ling himself.
"Mr. Song, have some tea."
Song Ling, "Are you under Sheng Feng's command? I remember you."
Zhao Fu was a little flattered. He didn't expect that the other party actually remembered him.
"Exactly."
Song Ling nodded without saying anything else, but Zhao Fu, seeing this rare opportunity, naturally did not want to let it go. "Mr. Song, what brings you here today?"
But before Song Ling could answer, Shu Jiu, who was standing behind him, said, "Our master is waiting for someone."
Zhao Fu tactfully didn't ask who they were waiting for. At this moment, Song Ling looked at Su Li and suddenly asked, "Madam Su, have you met my aunt?"
Huh? Su Li was stunned for a moment. "Yes, I have. Madam Lin invited me to a banquet at her house two days ago."
"Well, my aunt has been missing you."
Su Li smiled and expressed her gratitude. Then they chatted for a few more minutes before parting.
Outside the teahouse, Zhao Fu looked at Su Li and asked, "I didn't expect that Madam Su actually knew Mr. Song."
Zhao Fu was somewhat surprised by this, but more delighted.
Su Li didn't like discussing things behind other people's backs, so she responded vaguely.
But it was obvious that the other party didn't want to know. He just asked and started talking about other things.
Coincidentally, at this time, Chen and Luo also came back. After exchanging greetings, they went home.
"How was it? How was your conversation?" After they separated, Chen asked Su Li, implying that she wanted to know how she felt about the other person and then decide whether to contact each other again in the future. This is one of the processes of dating.
Su Li thought back to her interactions with the other person just now. She felt that he was okay. He was good-looking, tall, and didn't speak rudely. He was also quite humorous. Should be considered good, right?
She truthfully told her mother, Mrs. Chen, about the other person's advantages. The more Mrs. Chen listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Logically, a young lady should be shy when talking about someone she likes, but why did Wu Ya talk about it as if she was talking about someone else's affairs?
But Chen thought about it again. Her daughter mentioned so many good qualities about him, so she must be attracted to him, right?
She asked tentatively again, "Do you want to touch it again?"
Su Li nodded, still indifferent, "Okay."
For some reason, Chen Shi didn't seem particularly happy to hear this. Instead, she felt a hint of sadness. It seemed her little daughter hadn't gotten her bearings.
Never mind, let’s take it slow, maybe it will get better if we get in touch with it again.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Luo asked her son Zhao Fu a similar question, "You're already old now. If you keep picking, I'm afraid you won't find someone who's suitable."
Mrs. Luo was quite satisfied with the Su family. The Su family was wealthy and had a generous dowry. The little girl of the Su family had a skill and would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. She had inquired about it and learned that the Su family could live the way it is today thanks to the little girl's cooking skills. If she married into her family in the future, wouldn't it be like marrying a mountain of gold?
Just thinking about it made Mrs. Luo extremely satisfied, and she couldn't wait for her son to settle down with the youngest daughter of the Su family.
"My son will follow mother's arrangements." Zhao Fu was also quite satisfied with this marriage. He had dated more than one person over the years, but he didn't like any of them. Zhao Fu had his own plans for marriage. First of all, the girl couldn't be too ugly, as he would feel uncomfortable looking at someone who was too ugly. Secondly, the dowry couldn't be too small, and it would be best if she could be of help to him. Now, the young lady from the Su family completely met his requirements. It was simply a match made in heaven. The only thing was that it was not good for her to be in public all day. It would be best if she could stay at home to take care of her husband and children after getting married.
Mrs. Luo was delighted to see that her son had figured it out. "Okay, let's go get some pork and thank your uncle, and discuss the rest of the matter."
After that, the two of them went to Nara's house together.
"Hahaha, you mean, you told them that your aunt misses them?" In the teahouse, Li Heng laughed loudly, and seemed to feel that he laughed too loudly, so he quickly stopped laughing.
Then, after a long while, he stopped laughing and said, "See, I told you that if you don't act quickly, you'll regret it sooner or later."
Song Ling didn't say anything, without pursing his lips, and looked at the other person coldly, as if to see when he would stop laughing. He began to regret why he told the other person about this matter. It was not the first time he knew that he was unreliable.
Li Heng was afraid that the other party would run away, so he quickly stopped laughing and changed the subject.
"But it's not too late. From what you said, it should be just a meeting. You still have a chance."
After saying that, Li Heng glanced at Song Ling. He knew that Song Ling had never pursued a young lady before and it was hard for him to finally fall in love with someone. So he said mercifully, "Forget it. Let me teach you."
"First of all, you have to know what the young lady likes, and then give her gifts that suit her taste. According to my many years of experience, young ladies like only a few things, such as pearl hairpins, rouge, snacks and the like. After giving the gifts, the second step is to ask about her well-being. Young ladies appreciate this the most. If it's cold, you can ask the young lady to wear more clothes so as not to catch a cold. If it's hot, you can ask the young lady not to catch a heat. In short, you have to care about the young lady's life and mood. In addition, the most important thing is that you have to be accepted by the young lady's family and please the future father-in-law and mother-in-law..." Li Heng became more and more excited as he spoke, and Song Ling's face became uglier as he listened.
