Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 404 Relationship

Today, it was time to go to Shen Mansion to study with the master. Song Ying left early in the afternoon. When he arrived at the gate of Shen Mansion, he saw two people with smiles on their faces, talking to the doorman in a humble voice.

"Brother, we work under Huang Bantou of the county government. Can you please help us call Manager Xu Daqiang? Our Bantou wants to see him for something."

Song Ying found the voices familiar and turned his head slightly to see the faces of the two people. One of them was Song Tian, and the other was the only sober young man at the dinner table.

Come to think of it, the others are all unconscious from their crimes, so they must be fast asleep at this moment, so there is no way they can come out to run errands and pass messages.

"Go away, go away. How dare you, a drunkard and a lazy fellow, come to the Shen Mansion to cause trouble? I think you are tired of living. Get out of here!" The doorman glared at them and waved them away with an annoyed look on his face.

Song Tian licked his face, "Big brother, we are really the subordinates of Huang Bantou, running errands for him. Please be kind and call Manager Xu for us, or you can help us pass on a message and tell him that our Huang Bantou asked him to drink at Chenji Tavern tonight."

"Did I give you face?" The doorman was completely impatient. He swung the long stick in his hand, scaring Song Tian and the young man so much that they jumped away. However, they had been drinking, and their movements were not agile enough. They were hit by the doorman's long stick, which made a dull sound on their bodies and made them cry out in pain.

The doorman yelled, "Damn it, two lackeys, how dare you come and act like a wretch in front of our Shen Mansion!"

At this time, he saw Song Ying, quickly suppressed his anger, and came to greet her with a smile: "Miss Song Ying is still as punctual as always, and she always comes on time without a minute's delay."

Song Tian rubbed his sore arm and was stunned when he saw this scene. He thought that Song Ying must have been looked down upon as she was staying at the Shen Mansion before and living under someone else's roof. He didn't expect that the servants of the Shen Mansion not only did not laugh at her, but also fawned on her.

Song Ying smiled at the concierge: "Uncle just likes to joke, it's not that exaggerated."

The concierge was even more cheerful.

Song Ying turned to look at Song Tian and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"How come Miss Song Ying knows him?" The doorman was very surprised. He looked at Song Tian and looked at him for a long time but didn't think there was anything special about him.

Song Ying nodded: "This is my second uncle's cousin, his name is Song Tian."

The concierge smiled kindly: "So you are Miss Song Ying's cousin, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Oh, Brother Song, it's not that I don't want to call for you, but Manager Xu is not in the house today. He went to Beijing for shopping a few days ago. I don't know when he will be back.

How about this, when he comes back I'll tell him and ask him to go find your boss Huang?"

Song Tian was not used to the change in the doorman's attitude, and he couldn't believe that these changes were because of his helpless cousin. He didn't answer for a while, and the young man next to him smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

After thanking him several times, he pulled Song Tian away, saying as he walked away, "You have this connection, why didn't you tell me earlier? These wealthy families rely on connections. One word from your cousin is more effective than ten pleas from us..."

Watching them walk away, Song Ying no longer cared about the matter. He exchanged a few words with the doorman and went into the mansion. When passing by a veranda, he met Xiaolu. She was carrying a food box and walking quickly with her head down.

"Xiaolu, where are you going?" Song Ying called her curiously.

Xiaolu looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see Song Ying: "Sister Song Ying! I haven't seen you for a while!"

Although Song Ying would come to Shen's house to study with Doctor Lin every few days, he no longer ate there, so he no longer went to the big kitchen. The big kitchen was very busy, and Xiaolu had no time to come out and hang out. In total, the two had not seen each other for nearly half a year.

Xiaolu's eyes sparkled as she asked anxiously, "Do you have the Jade Whitening Cream from Yingnuoxuan?"

"Not yet. That's difficult to make. We have been busy lately. Yan Xing is the only one here and she is a little overwhelmed." Song Ying felt very apologetic. They had tried to make a facial cream before, but since it was their first attempt, they made very little.

At that time, I only sold it to a few regular customers in the shop and forgot about Xiaolu and the others, who would urge me to buy it back whenever they saw me.

However, because the production process is too complicated and would freeze your hands and feet in the middle of winter, they have never made it. The main reason is that their Innoxuan has always been pursuing the affordable route, and the facial cream they make is not easy to sell at a high price, for fear of losing old customers.

Xiaolu was immediately disappointed, and the light in her eyes dimmed. "Did you bring the pancreas? I'm running out of pancreas."

Song Ying felt even more apologetic when he saw this: "I went back to my hometown in Xinghua Village yesterday for something. I went directly from my hometown to the clinic today. I didn't bring it with me."

"Okay, I'll find someone to buy it for me later." Xiaolu was even more disappointed.

Song Ying said hurriedly: "I have to come to see Master in a few days. I will help you take it then. I will send it to the kitchen for you."

Only then did Xiaolu start to laugh.

Song Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Who are you delivering food to at this time?"

It's about 3 p.m. now, and there's still some time before dinner.

Xiaolu curled her lips and said, "You don't know, my kitchen has been busy recently. The wife of the prefect and the wife of the magistrate have been visiting us one after another. As soon as they come, they pull the old lady to complain endlessly, so we have to prepare extra snacks to send over.

We were just discussing whether to put more salt in the snacks so that they would feel thirsty and drink more water, so that the old lady wouldn’t be annoyed by the nagging.”

"Is there something going on between these two families? Why do they come to bother the old lady every day?" Song Ying was curious.

Xiaolu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You often go to the Chen family to see patients. I wonder if you have met the young master of the Chen family?"

Song Ying nodded, "I have seen him. Judging from his words and actions, he is mentally handicapped, like an eight or nine-year-old child."

Since Song Ying already knew about this, Xiaolu had no worries and started gossiping excitedly, "You are just being euphemistic. To put it bluntly, you are just a fool. Even if he is an ordinary citizen, you have to think twice before marrying your daughter to him. Will he be ridiculed for selling his daughter for fame?

But Mrs. He was very picky and wanted to marry a girl from an official family. She had set her eyes on the daughter of Liu Tongpan and wanted to ask our old lady to help mediate. The wife of Tongpan was not willing to agree. Not to mention that the son of the Chen family was a fool, even if he was not stupid, people might not agree.

Liu Tongpan is a sixth-rank official, while Chen Zhixian is only a seventh-rank official. As the saying goes, a rich family marries a daughter and a poor family marries a daughter-in-law. How could they marry their daughter to an inferior? I really don't know what Mrs. He is thinking. She can do such an outrageous thing. Isn't this making things difficult for us old ladies?"

Song Ying's eyes flickered, and he thought that if the young master of the Chen family was not stupid, the wife of the magistrate would probably be happy to marry her daughter to him.

Although County Magistrate Chen was only a seventh-rank county official, his teacher in the imperial examination was the prime minister of the dynasty. It was said that he was highly regarded by the prime minister. Yuan Qing used this to trick Chen Yunze.
