Chapter 532: Extremely Vicious
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence usually used Yu Youyao’s incense medicine a lot.
Song Mingzhao had specially brought some incense and medicinal materials from Jiangnan to the Yu Residence. It was reasonable for him to be polite.
When Old Madam Yu heard this, she also felt that he was polite and thorough.
Her smile deepened. “I’ve troubled you.”
However, she did not say that she would not accept it.
The two families were family friends to begin with. As a junior, Song Mingzhao shouldn’t have come empty-handed. In addition, the Yu Residence also had a friendship with Song Mingzhao, so it was no wonder that he was polite.
Since he had already mentioned her, Yu Youyao couldn’t pretend not to hear him. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Heir Song.” Song Mingzhao nodded. “That’s only right.”
It was rare for him to talk to Yu Youyao, so Song Mingzhao found a topic to talk about the famous incense medicine in Zhejiang and the incense competition there. It could be considered to suit her interests.
Suddenly, she heard Zhou Linghuai’s indifferent voice. “I didn’t expect Heir Song to be interested in incense medicine. I’m sure you’ve broadened your horizons and understood a lot.”
Women were good at making incense, so it was also the women who were interested in these topics.
Not to mention that as a man, he shouldn’t pay too much attention to the incense matters of women. Otherwise, it was inevitable that there would be rumors of him having protective feelings for the fairer sex.
Even though it was obvious that he went to the south this time to broaden his horizons, it was actually also for Song Xiuwen’s case. He probably did not have time to pay attention to such unimportant matters. Otherwise, wouldn’t others misunderstand that he was not diligent in the case?
Zhou Linghuai’s words seemed to be casual, but his intentions were extremely sinister.
Song Mingzhao remained calm. “Of course not. I originally went south with Lord Yu this time to broaden my horizons. Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place Naturally, I have to take this opportunity to take a closer look. The Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill that Miss Yao made previously can be considered a life-saving contribution to me. I have to pay more attention to the incense medicine. ”
Every word and sentence was watertight. It was obvious that Heir Song was meticulous and rigorous.
Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Heir Song is right.”
These casual words seemed to agree with him very much, but Song Mingzhao was not happy.
He had mentioned the incense incident in Jiangnan to attract Yu Youyao’s attention and suit her preferences. Zhou Linghuai’s indifferent words diverted the topic.
Song Mingzhao prepared to change the topic to incense.
Yu Youyao looked at the time. “You guys chat first. I’ll go to the main kitchen to take a look.”
It was almost noon, but Song Mingzhao did not say that he was leaving. His grandmother remembered him and had helped Yu Zongzheng a lot in
Zhejiang. She also asked him to stay for lunch in the residence. Although there
was no need to make a fuss, at the very least, they had to be polite. She could not neglect the guests and lose her dignity and etiquette.
Just as Old Madam Yu was thinking this, she turned to Song Mingzhao and said, “It’s getting late. You have to have lunch at our house.”
He had brought a lot of gifts over for no reason and even specially brought back letters from Jiangnan. How could she let him leave after drinking a few cups of tea?
Before she could say anything, he was about to leave. Song Mingzhao was a little disappointed, but he agreed. “I’ll do as you say.”
Old Madam Yu waved her hand and said to her granddaughter, “Let’s eat quickly. Mingzhao is still sick, so his diet is light. Prepare more medicinal cuisine to nourish his body.”
Yu Youyao agreed and bowed to Old Madam Yu, Song Mingzhao, and her cousin.
Song Mingzhao used the excuse of drinking tea to cover himself as he looked at Eldest Miss Yu. She was wearing a pomegranate-red jacket, upper jacket, lower skirt, collar, and sleeves. They were inlaid with white fox fur, making her look noble and beautiful. There was a circle of white fox fur collar around her neck, complementing her palm-sized oval face. She was beautiful, bright, delicate, and eye-catching.
Eldest Miss Yu’s figure was slender. Even though she was wearing a thick jacket, her figure was still slender. The clothes were meticulous on her, and she did not look bloated at all.
When she reached the door, a maidservant brought over a cloak with red silk and silver mink and helped her put it on.
The cloak was also inlaid with a fur collar, making her look noble and generous.
He thought that he had done it discreetly, but little did he know that Zhou Linghuai had seen his every move.
It was obvious what Song Mingzhao wanted from Yu Youyao.
He was a very independent person and did not have the habit of making clothes for others. How could he let another wild man benefit from the outstanding little girl he had painstakingly trained?
In the words that his father often said, “Looking for someone out of your league? Dream on!”
Although he often criticized his father for this sentence, his father was like a toad who had eaten swan meat. At first, every time his father heard this, he would take off his shoes on the spot and chase after him to beat him up.
As time passed, his father couldn’t chase after him anymore, so he shouted at him in exasperation, “So what if I’m a toad eating swan meat? That proves that I’m a toad with ambition. I’m a toad, but I’m also the most beautiful toad.
You’re also a toad. Perhaps one day, you’ll eat swan meat.”
Of course, he would never admit that he was a toad.
In this world, only his father would admit that he was a toad, although he had always been smug that he had successfully eaten swan meat.
Song Mingzhao put down his teacup and said, “I heard that your family has a charity hall in the capital that specially accommodates those young children who have lost their mothers and some women and children who have no one to rely on?
Zhou Linghuai’ s expression was indifferent.
Song Mingzhao had a strong desire for Yu Youyao. Even if he went south, he would probably send someone to keep an eye on Yu Youyao’s every move in the capital.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he knew that Yu Youyao had organized the Graceful Heart Hall herself.
However, he deliberately did not say it clearly, prompting Old Madam Yu to mention Yu Youyao.
Old Madam Yu had always doted on her granddaughter. As long as it was her granddaughter, she could say a few more words happily. However, she pretended to be reserved, revealing the upbringing and etiquette of a descendant of an aristocratic family.
However, this steady, noble, and smart junior was valued and more we’ll liked by the elders than slick words.
Old Madam Yu, who was old and shrewd, actually did not notice that even when this person spoke to her, he had calculated a way to quietly flatter her.
But so what if she noticed?
Not only did Old Madam Yu not feel angry, but she was also even happier.
After all, all the foundations of flattery were suggested in terms of etiquette. Moreover, Song Mingzhao’s thoughts were hidden, so Old Madam Yu would not associate them with her granddaughter.
Indeed!
At the mention of this, Old Madam Yu smiled again. “I’m already so old, so
how can I set this up so carefully? Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t do anything. It was Yao Yao who did it herself, and I’ve never interfered. I originally thought that it was just a hobby, but I didn’t expect her to do it well.”
Not long after the Graceful Heart Hall was established, it attracted a lot of attention because Yao Yao had established a relatively complete set of rules and even went to the government office to officially sign a contract..
