Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 46 Hotpot

Seeing that his daughter answered calmly, he felt relieved, put down the tea cup, looked at his aunt, and said: "If aunt wants to take a look at the child, then tomorrow my nephew will go to court and invite His Highness the Fifth Prince to come another day.

Just be a guest."

"Look at me, an old woman. As I get older, I am less thoughtful about everything. Boss, then you will go to court tomorrow, and you will be able to invite the Fifth Prince to visit me."

Song Guogong said "yes".

Mrs. Shen did not interrupt during the whole process, but Song Jinxi pursed her lips tightly, dropped her hands on her knees, and tightly grasped the skirt under her hands.

Her mother's intention has been mentioned to her, but when she thinks that the cousin from Jiangnan will come to the house tomorrow, she is not very happy.

If the old lady really falls in love with the fifth prince, what should she do if she competes with her?

Mrs. Song ran out of excuses and left with the support of her grandma.

Song Guogong stood up and exited the main hall.

When Mrs. Shen saw Song Jinyue, she just felt unlucky. She got up and took her daughter away with her.

Song Jinyue was still sitting in the same place, holding a Ru kiln white porcelain tea cup in her white jade hand, sipping the tea in the cup.

"Miss, why don't we go back too?" Qiu Yun stepped forward to persuade her.

She then put down the white porcelain tea cup in her hand, lowered her head and straightened her clothes, stood up slowly, said "hmm", and returned to Mingzhuxuan with Qiu Yun.

Along the way, Qiu Yun didn't ask any questions. There were so many people in the mansion, so it was inevitable that walls had ears. If you had anything to say, don't rush to ask. Just go back to Mingzhuxuan first.

But when the young lady returned to Mingzhuxuan, and before Qiu Yun came to ask, the young lady closed the black lacquered carved huanghuali wooden door of the compartment in the house.

Qiu Yun walked back and forth at the door of the compartment, guarding the door, not daring to relax even a moment.

She always felt that her young lady looked a little lonely and abnormal after having a meal in the main hall.

Grandma Yuan asked Qiu Yun about it, but when she saw Qiu Yun shaking her head, she went to do other things helplessly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Song Jinyue opened the black carved door of the compartment again.

"Miss!" Qiu Yun exclaimed, which startled Song Jinyue. She stepped back and frowned slightly.

"Miss, maid, I thought..."

She thought the young lady was secretly wiping her tears in the cubicle, but who knew that the young lady walked out unharmed, holding a letter sealed with red wax in her hand.

"Don't be so arrogant in the future. Your young lady has a strong heart. Don't think that your young lady secretly wipes her tears!" Song Jinyue was quite helpless and angrily said about the maid who had been by her side since she was a child.

After finishing speaking, she shook the envelope in her hand again, handed it to Qiu Yun, and said: "Bring this letter to Xiang Shu and ask him to go to Dingzhou and hand the letter into the hands of cousin Ping. Remember, you must

Cousin Ping reads the contents of this letter alone."

"What about Xiang Wu?"

"Let him stay in the capital for now, I will have other uses for him."

The Xiang brothers have always been used to working together. Now that they are separated, I wonder if the Xiang brothers will have any excuses.

Song Jinyue also ordered Qiu Yun to bring a hundred taels of silver for Xiang Shulu to use.

Xiang Wu was also ordered to move to Anfu Hutong on Xichang Street tomorrow. Grandma Yuan's family had a house with one courtyard in Anfu Hutong.

She only hoped that cousin Ping would reach Dingzhou safely and smoothly.

When Qiu Yun returned home after delivering the letter, the sky was already dark, and the dark sky was filled with bright stars. The sun was shining brightly during the day, which gave the illusion of spring getting warmer.

But suddenly there was a strong north wind at night. Although a charcoal fire was set up in the house and the doors and windows were closed, Song Jinyue still felt the chill coming out of her body.

Today, Aunt Yuan has simply turned the wing room in Mingzhuxuan into a small kitchen, and the charcoal-fired vegetables and meat are all prepared today.

Song Jinyue ordered Jiao Ming and San Ming to pack up the copper stove and go out. Taking advantage of the darkness, they planned to have a hot meal of hot pot with pork shabu-shabu to dispel the cold.

The fine silver charcoal gifted by the aunt in the palace was used. The long black table in the side room has been cleared away and is now filled with green vegetables and bright red meat.

The silver charcoal is burning red, and the soup stock in the copper stove set in the charcoal basin is rolling, emitting steaming mist.

The door to the penthouse was closed, and only the window in the northwest corner was half open.

Although they were eating hot pot, there was still a slight chill in the ear room, so Grandma Yuan asked two maids to place two pots of charcoal fire in the ear room.

Song Jinyue took Qin Wan to eat hot pot together again.

The bright red mutton was just put into the pot. When Qiu Yun came back after delivering the letter, she didn't see her young lady in the main room. Instead, she was attracted by the smell and went to the side room.

Only then did I see my young lady, Miss Qin, Grandma Yuan, Jiao Ming, and San Ming eating hot pot in the penthouse.

Qiu Yun's hands were red from the cold. She put her hands to her lips, rubbed them, and blew in another breath of hot air. Then she walked into the house and placed her red hands on the charcoal basin in the corner of the house.

He turned to look at his young lady and said, "It's done, don't worry, young lady."

Next to her, Qiu Yun didn't say anything more. Song Jinyue nodded slightly and invited her to come over and sit down to have some food together.

During the dinner in the main hall, she had not taken a few bites, but now the hot pot bottom was rolling with delicious mutton, which made her quite greedy.

Song Jinyue motioned for everyone to eat together, but when they saw that she didn't move their chopsticks, they couldn't agree.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to pick up the bowl and chopsticks, then took a chopstick of hot mutton from the copper basin, dipped it in the base of the bowl, blew on the steaming mutton, then brought it to her mouth and ate it in small bites.

The fragrant mutton steamed up and went down the lips and teeth into the throat, and the chill in Song Jinyue's body immediately dissipated a bit.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks and motioned for a few people to use them together. Then they obeyed, each picked up their bowls and chopsticks with a smile, sandwiched the mutton in the copper basin, and started to eat in large pieces.

Song Jinyue ordered people to warm some rice wine to eat. Perhaps the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pot was burning brightly. Everyone was eating mutton and drinking warm rice wine. Their cheeks were rosy, which looked a bit like the costumes of singing on the stage.

Everyone was talking and laughing, Song Jinyue was eating, watching, and listening.

From time to time, the crowd also laughed loudly.

Song Jinyue felt extremely relaxed at this moment. There was no burden from the previous life, only the fireworks and noise of the world in front of her.

It took about an hour to finish the meal. By the time Qiu Yun helped her young lady come out from the penthouse, the crescent moon in the sky had already set towards the west.

Perhaps because she ate mutton and rice wine, Song Jinyue covered herself with only a thin quilt and slept until dawn. It was rare that she was not awakened by nightmares.

When she went to greet Mrs. Shen, Song Jinyue's cheeks were still slightly red.

Qiu Yun took some powder to cover the slight redness on the young lady's face, and then followed the young lady towards Shen's courtyard.

But when they arrived at Shen's house, they didn't see Shen.

The maid in Shen's house came forward to reply, saying that Shen had gone to Mrs. Song's courtyard to pay her respects, and that she had already gone to have two cups of tea.

In recent years, Mr. Shen has lived a comfortable life without having any parents-in-law to greet her.
