The Su family's mansion was built along the river. The tall front door was inlaid with granite. Walking into the hall, the whole floor was decorated with velvet carpets. The hall was decorated with sandalwood columns inlaid with mother-of-pearl and precious stones.
First Madam Su personally came to welcome Ye Zhen to the backyard of the Su Mansion. Passing through the garden full of exotic flowers and plants, rockery and small lakes, even Ye Zhen, who was born in an aristocratic family, felt that the Su family was simply unimaginably rich.
"I still don't know the young lady's surname?" First Madam Su was a woman of about thirty years old. She was the second wife of Lord Su. A few years ago, she gave birth to the only male grandson of the Su family and became the treasure of Lord Su.
Yesterday, when she heard that her son had fallen into the water and was rescued, she thought that she must thank the other party today. Today, when she saw Ye Zhen, she almost couldn't come back to her senses. She had seen the most famous boatgirls in Baisha Bay, but she had never seen one as beautiful as the woman in front of her, not to mention her noble temperament. Tsk tsk, which pleasure boat could raise such a person?
"Your surname is Ye." Ye Zhen said with a smile. In addition to Doctor Su, there were other women here. Although she had no topic with them, she knew very well that sometimes women were more useful than men. They could know more things that men did not know.
First Madam Su smiled and said, "I don't know where Miss Ye is from, but I have never heard of your name before."
Heard of my name? Ye Zhen frowned slightly at First Madam Su.
Hong Ling scolded coldly, "Our young lady comes from a famous family. Where did First Madam Su hear of our young lady?"
What unmarried woman would have a name outside? First Madam Su's question was very rude.
First Madam Su's face was not very good. She was the first madam of the Su family, but even a maid dared to scold her!
"Miss Ye's accent, are you from the capital?" The woman standing next to First Madam Su came over with a smile and gently pushed First Madam Su away.
Ye Zhen knew that these madams regarded her as a woman from the pleasure boat, but she was too lazy to explain. Anyway, she would not have much interaction with these people. After today, they would not meet again.
However, who was this woman who was deliberately trying to please her?
The woman knew that Ye Zhen did not recognize her, so she smiled and said, "Miss Ye, my husband's surname is Pan. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Lin."
Hong Ling's expression was ugly. These ignorant merchant women didn't even know who her family's young lady was, and they actually wanted to befriend her.
"So it's Madam Pan." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "It is indeed my first time in Jinkou city. The customs here are really different from the capital."
The First Madam of the Su Family curled her lips in her heart. She thought that people from the capital city must be of a higher status than them. If they were really from a prestigious family, would an unmarried young lady follow a man to such a faraway place? If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't be seen in public, then they must have eloped. No matter which one it was, it was shameful.
The group arrived at the mansion in the garden. A banquet had already been prepared, and Madam Su invited everyone to take their seats.
"I heard that it was Miss Ye who saved Jun Ge. Our Su family will never forget this great kindness. Miss Ye, I propose a toast to you." The First Madam of the Su Family smiled and raised her glass. Yesterday's gratitude was replaced by jealousy when she saw Ye Zhen today.
Which woman would not be jealous of this Miss Ye? I'm afraid that even Xia Qiniang of the Qingyin Lane is not as good as her.
Madam Pan smiled and said, "Last night, my master was also on the boat. I heard that Young Master Su was unconscious, but Miss Ye somehow woke him up. Miss Ye, are you proficient in medicine? "
"I know a little. It's good that Young Master Su is fine." Ye Zhen said lightly.
The First Madam of the Su Family became more and more curious about the identity of this Miss Ye. "Today, Jun Ge should have kowtowed to Miss Ye, but he was shocked yesterday and is still a little unwell today. When he recovers, I will let him thank Miss Ye in person."
Ye Zhen faintly felt the First Madam of the Su Family's curiosity about her. She glanced at the woman faintly. "There is no need to thank me. First Madam of the Su Family, saving Young Master Su last night was not because of the kindness of your Su family. If it had been someone else, would they have just watched him die?"
"Miss Ye has a merciful heart. Naturally, she would not watch someone die." Madam Pan said with a smile.
"Ai, it's all because I don't know how to express my gratitude. Only by saying it out loud can I express my gratitude. Lady Ye, I heard that you're still staying in an inn. How can you live comfortably in an inn? Although our Su Clan isn't that great, it's still better than an inn. If Lady Ye doesn't mind, how about staying in our Su Clan?" Eldest Madam Su said with a smile.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you, First Madam Su, for your kindness. Although the inn is small, it is good to live there."
Why is this Miss Ye so stubborn? No matter what I say, I can't please her.
The atmosphere of the womenfolk here was dull and stiff, but the situation in the front yard was different.
Su Yanning treated Mo Rongzhan as an honored guest. Other than him accompanying him, Boss Pan also came uninvited.
"Young Master Rong, we were fated to meet once. I wonder if you still remember me?" Boss Pan looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile. Back then, he, Lu Lingzhi, had brought this Young Master Rong to pay for the army's rations. In reality, it was to help the King of Qin.
Now that the King of Qin had become the Emperor, Lu Lingzhi had fallen. As merchants, no matter if it was the Su Family or the Pan Family, they all hoped that their status could be changed. They were the best in Jinkou City, but when they walked out of Jinkou City, what else could they have besides money?
The help they had given the Su family back then was only for their descendants to make a name for themselves in the future, to bring honor to their ancestors, and to break away from their status as merchants.
However, following Lu Lingzhi's defeat, they had lost the opportunity to contact the Imperial Court. It was not easy to meet Young Master Rong, who knew what had happened back then. None of them wanted to miss this chance.
Mo Rongzhan looked up at him indifferently, nodded and said, "Boss Pan."
Hearing that Mo Rongzhan still remembered him, the smile on Boss Pan's face became even more radiant. "Young Master Rong has a good eye."
"Everyone helped me in the past, so I naturally remember." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Su Yanning smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Young Master Rong doesn't need to take it to heart. Today, let's not talk about anything else and just drink and have fun."
Who didn't want to claim credit? Haste makes waste. Su Yanning looked down on Boss Pan's eagerness.
Boss Pan chuckled, suppressing the anxiety in his heart. Since he had already warned Rong Yuan, the next step was to see if he could please this Young Master Rong.
"I heard that Boss Su also invited Miss Xia today. We're all in luck today. Ever since Miss Xia debuted, it seems that she has never agreed to come to his house and sing," Boss Pan said with a smile. "Young Master Rong's charm is extraordinary."
Su Yanning looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile. "Young Master Rongzhan, this Miss Xia has specially come for you. I wonder if you still remember her?"
