Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 79 Introduction

Mrs. Zhao smiled again and waved her hand, and then she asked the nanny to lead the two of them to the front hall for a table.

Mrs. Zhao never gave birth to a son or a daughter in her life. The current Mr. Zhao was still the son of an aunt in the Zhao family. Later, the aunt passed away, and Mr. Zhao was adopted by Mrs. Zhao.

Later he became the only legitimate son of the Zhao family.

But after all, there is no blood relationship with Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao also gave birth to two daughters for Mr. Zhao, but Mrs. Zhao still gave them this pair of hostas.

Thinking about this, it's a bit sad.

Grandma led the way, Zhang Dingzhi held Song Jinyue's arm, lowered his voice and said, "Sister Yue, what do you mean by Mrs. Zhao?"

It’s not like the Zhao family doesn’t have granddaughters.

But Mrs. Zhao gave the two sisters the hosta she had treasured for many years.

Song Jinyue thought for a while and replied: "Maybe it was for the sake of my grandma that Mrs. Zhao gave us gifts."

Zhang Dingzhi thought for a while and felt that her cousin's words were reasonable.

"Two ladies, here we are."

Grandma stopped, bent slightly, and invited the two of them to sit down.

Although the doors and windows were open in the hall, I could not feel the coldness at all. I guess it was because the earth dragon burning in the room was strong. There were also copper stoves placed in the four corners of the hall, with red charcoal fires burning inside.

The female relatives in the house were laughing happily and sitting at the long table.

Mrs. Zhao sat with Mrs. Shen, and beside her were Mrs. Du and the female family members of Taifu Lin's family, as well as the wives of several other important families in the court.

Zhang Dingzhi pulled his cousin to find a seat at the corner. It was not that there were no seats for them in front of the banquet, but because Zhang Dingzhi wanted to chat with his cousin, sitting in the front was a lady from an aristocratic family, so he had to go and socialize.

If it's troublesome, it's better to find a seat at the corner.

After searching around, he finally found an empty seat at the corner. Zhang Dingzhi was about to take his cousin to sit down.

However, Mrs. Shen's laughter came from the front, "Yue'er, come here quickly. Mother will introduce you to some ladies."

Song Jinyue pursed her lips, had to look at Mrs. Shen, bowed and walked towards Mrs. Shen.

Zhang Dingzhi also walked over because he was worried that Mr. Shen would act like a monster and embarrass his cousin.

"This is my second girl. She has only been back for a few days. Please take care of her a little more in the future." Ms. Shen looked like a loving mother.

Everyone smiled and agreed.

The older woman next to Mrs. Zhao suddenly waved Song Jinyue over, "Come here quickly and ask me, an old woman, to take a closer look."

Song Jinyue had no choice but to take a few steps forward.

"Not bad, not bad. Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, is a very good match." The old woman praised her again.

"Mother, please stop talking like this. Miss Song has not yet had haircuts." Mrs. Zhao held the woman's arm affectionately and advised her.

It turned out that this woman was Mrs. Lin’s wife and Mrs. Zhao’s mother.

Mrs. Lin smiled and glanced at Song Jinyue again, then let go of Song Jinyue's hand, looked at Zhang Dingzhi, and praised her again.

"Miss Zhang, Second Miss Song, please sit down quickly." Mrs. Zhao pointed to the empty seat nearby and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

The two of them bowed again and then walked towards the vacant seat.

Song Jinyue sat down next to Song Qinghua, and next to Song Qinghua was Song Jinxi. They looked at each other and nodded, as a greeting.

"Yue'er, why don't you introduce your cousin to all the ladies?"

Shen's voice sounded again.

Just now, Mrs. Shen took Song Qinghua to sit down. The ladies thought it was Song Jinyue and were about to go up to say hello. Mrs. Shen then explained that Song Jinyue was in Mrs. Zhao's room and would be here later.

All the ladies were waiting for Song Jinyue, so they did not ask who Song Qinghua was. Mrs. Shen also deliberately did not want to introduce Song Qinghua, so she only pulled her daughter Song Jinxi beside her and introduced her to the ladies.

Song Jinyue looked at Song Qinghua, stood up, glanced at Song Qinghua, and motioned for her to follow her.

Song Qinghua put down the tea cup and followed her to go forward and bow to the ladies.

"This is my cousin, her maiden name is Qinghua."

Song Qinghua bowed respectfully, and the ladies praised her again, but no one asked any more questions. They knew clearly in their hearts that she was the daughter of Song Guogong's cousin.

A few days ago, everyone in the family heard that the uncle of Song Guogong returned to the capital from Jiangnan.

The old lady's feat back then shocked everyone.

But after all, it was someone else's family matter. Everyone only discussed it privately, and no one mentioned it publicly.

"Today, I am shamelessly trying to get into trouble with all the ladies. Today I am taking Qinghua out to meet people. If there is any poetry party or flower party in the house in the future, please don't leave our Hua'er behind." Mrs. Shen smiled.

He pulled Song Qinghua to sit beside him, with a doting look on his face.

It makes people feel that Song Qinghua is a direct daughter of the Duke of Song Dynasty.

Shen's plan was laid out openly, but no one could tell that Shen's intention was to find Song Qinghua's in-laws.

Song Qinghua sat next to Shen, and naturally heard Shen's intention from Shen's mouth.

Although there was a smile on his face, the smile had been frozen on his face for who knows how long.

Song Jinyue didn't say anything more. She glanced at Shen and Song Qinghua, bowed to the ladies, and then turned around and sat down next to Zhang Dingzhi.

Mrs. Shen held Song Qinghua in her arms with a doting look on her face, and chatted and laughed with the ladies.

Zhang Dingzhi tugged at his lips, then pulled his cousin to sit down, and said angrily, "Look at that proud look, he's not afraid of his chin flashing with laughter."

Although the voice was small, Song Jinxi still heard it. She glared at Zhang Dingzhi, who rolled his eyes at her and pulled Song Jinyue to continue talking.

"Sister Yue, how about we go eat the roast chicken from Cuixiang Restaurant later?"

"OK."

The ladies in front were each looking for topics to talk about, leaving Shen and Song Qinghua aside.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Shen let go of Song Qinghua and motioned for her to go back and sit down.

The ladies glanced at Mr. Shen and said nothing.

Song Qinghua was brought here by Song Jinyue to let the ladies get to know her. Naturally, the ladies wanted to give Song Jinyue face.

But Shen was different. According to the people Shen led, everyone was just trying to keep up with the situation.

Now, Mrs. Shen has made it clear that she wants to embarrass Song Jinyue, and the ladies are not incompetent.

They value Song Jinyue not only because she is the second young lady of the Duke of Song Dynasty.

What's more, she is the granddaughter of General Zhang's Mansion and the Queen's direct niece.

Of these two levels of status, neither level is much more valuable than the Duke of Song Dynasty.

"Sister Yue, I'm sorry." Song Qinghua just sat down, looked at Song Jinyue, and apologized softly.

Song Jinyue just smiled and shook her head and said, "It's okay, sister Hua, don't worry about going up there."

Song Qinghua opened her lips, wanting to say something, but looking at the table of women, she finally swallowed her words.

"Sister Yue, can I follow you back to the Duke's mansion later?"
