Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 125 Preparations for Visiting the Su Mansion

After Song Sanniang and her companions checked into the inn, they had lunch on the first floor of the inn, and then went back to their rooms to rest, as they had not rested well on the boat.

The smell on the boat was unpleasant and a bit humid, and the boat would shake at night. Even if no one was seasick, they would still feel a little seasick. So when everyone got off the boat, they felt like they were still floating.

I don't know how other people were doing, but before Song Sanniang returned to her room, she called the waiter to bring her some hot water. She didn't take a shower yesterday, and she felt dirty all over, which was not what she was used to, so she took a shower first.

She just felt that the bathtub was not clean, and she didn't know how many people had used it. She could only use a ladle to scoop water to wash. After taking a bath, she felt relaxed and then she lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.

When she woke up, it was almost evening. She opened the window and could hear the hustle and bustle of the street downstairs. She didn't know if Qin Haodong and the others had woken up, so she decided to go out and check.

She came to Qin Haodong's room and knocked on the door. Qin Haodong and his brother woke up. Qin Haodong asked who it was, and then heard that it was Song Sanniang, so he came to open the door.

Before Song Sanniang entered the room, she asked a waiter to bring up some tea. Then she went into their room. Qin Haoxi had also woken up and was looking downstairs curiously. The waiter brought up the tea and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang put twenty coins on the table and said, "Young man, I want to ask you something."

The waiter looked at the twenty coins on the table, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Miss, if you want to know something, I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, I want to ask you about Master Su Zhuoran's family. Our family and his family are distant relatives. We have something to ask for, and we are afraid that we will violate any taboos if we visit rashly. I want to know more."

After hearing what Song Sanniang said, the waiter laughed. He thought she wanted to find out something, but the Su family didn't seem to have anything to say.

He thought for a while and then told her the general situation of the Su family, which was similar to what the broker Xu Dong had said, but this was not what Song Sanniang wanted to know.

She asked again, "Young man, do you know what kind of person Madam Su is? Will she be unfriendly to relatives like us when they visit her?"

Do you think the Su family treats their servants? Has anyone redeemed their servants?"

The waiter thought for a moment, then replied, "I've never heard of this. Those who can sell themselves are those whose families are in financial difficulty. How can anyone redeem them?

If I was sold, I would think it would be a good thing. Working anywhere is working. Working in a family like the Su family, the food and accommodation are definitely better than ours. "After saying that, he laughed foolishly.

Song Sanniang felt that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she told him that if he had any news about the Su Mansion, he could come back and tell her, and then let him take the money and leave.

"At present, it seems that there is no problem in the Su Mansion. Yuanyuan should not have a hard time in the Su Mansion. I am just afraid that Madam Su will make her a maidservant for Miss Su's dowry and will not let her go when the time comes." Song Sanniang hesitated for a moment and said,

Qin Haodong and Qin Haoxi were a little silent, because they wanted to rush to the Su Mansion and snatch Qin Yuanyuan back. Seeing that the two were silent, Song Sanniang understood their feelings.

She thought about it and said, "Let's ask people nearby later. If no one has bad things to say about the Su family, then we will go directly to the Su family."

Qin Haodong and the other man nodded when they heard this. At this time, Song Laoer and Niu Laosan also came over, so everyone went out together, asked separately, and then had dinner.

The two brothers Qin Haodong, the father and daughter of Song Laoer, and Niu Laosan were all alone. They all came under the pretext of seeking refuge in the Su Mansion, and then asked everyone about the situation in the Su Mansion.

The information everyone received was similar. In everyone's mouth, the Su family was a normal wealthy family. There was no scandal in the family. The biggest thing recently was the marriage with the Gu family.

So everyone had dinner separately, and then returned to the inn one after another. After getting together, they decided to go to the Su Mansion the next day, but only Song Laoer and his daughter would go.

The father and daughter even went out to buy a set of fancy clothes and shoes as their outfit. Unfortunately, Song Sanniang didn't think about it at the time, so she didn't bring the jewelry that Miss He had given her.

Now I can only choose simple yet not shabby jewelry in the jewelry store, a pair of small gold bead earrings, a hollow filigree full gold bracelet, and a thin plain gold bracelet.

Song Lao Er only bought a simple white jade Pisces jade pendant.

The next day, Song Sanniang put on new clothes and jewelry, and she looked completely different.

She used to be tanned, but now she goes out by donkey cart and stays in the store all day. Her skin is much whiter than before. Although it is not as white as cream, it is also delicate and fair.

She was wearing a bean paste green cross-collared Pipa long-sleeved top, a jade-colored waisted horse-faced skirt, and a pair of light green embroidered shoes.

Dressed like this, Song Sanniang looked like a drop of dew on a green lotus leaf. She looked fresh and refined, with a pair of innocent deer eyes that were smart and clear, and her movements were all charming and clever.

The only flaw is that she doesn't know how to comb her hair. She can only tie it into a pigtail or a bun. Fortunately, this time she did a side braided fishbone braid. Although it doesn't look noble, it suits her current age and makes her look playful and cute.

Everyone praised her, which made her, who was always thick-skinned, blush. Then everyone turned to praise Song Lao Er.

Although Song Lao Er is not as tall as Song Lao Da, he is still 1.74 meters tall. He works all year round, so he looks thin when dressed but muscular when undressed. He also has a manly appearance with regular facial features.

He was wearing a black, cross-lapeled, gray satin with auspicious clouds and golden stars, with narrow sleeves and straight edges, a black fu hat on his head, and a white jade double fish pendant on his waist.

After putting on the new clothes, he actually had a majestic temperament, and he looked a bit like a military officer in casual clothes. When he didn't smile, people were a little afraid to approach him.

Hearing everyone's praise, Song Lao Er also felt embarrassed. He was busy touching his chest with both hands and straightening his clothes to hide his embarrassment.

When he saw Song Sanniang's look, he smiled and said, "My Sanniang looks really good when she dresses up. She should dress like this in the future. One day, I will buy similar clothes for your mother and your two sisters, and we can all wear them together."

Song Sanniang originally chose this outfit for convenience. All the clothes she bought had narrow sleeves or cuffs. She had to work every day, so the simpler the clothes, the better.

However, she agreed to what Song Lao Er said. The two of them packed up and didn't take a car. They bought some gifts nearby and then went to visit the Su Mansion.
