Sun Jin tries his best not to look away.
The young lady of the Ding Guo Mansion was not for everyone to look at, and he had just shouted Song Si in a moment of excitement, but despite this, his voice could not be restrained from rising, “I have something for you.”
“You go in first, I’ll send Miss Xiao back first.”
“Since you have a guest, don’t send me off. ”
Xiao Yao’s soft voice.
Song Si had only waited a day for such an opportunity, so naturally she did not agree and walked with her to the car, lifted the curtain and waited for her to go up before she herself followed.
Sun Jin could see clearly and tsked twice. Song Si was the type of girl who could not stop when she was not enlightened, and she had not even been engaged yet, and she was already in a carriage with another girl.
Xiao Yao also did not expect him to follow him up, and after a moment of dumbfoundedness, her face once again turned red with shame, and she hung her head down, clutching the handkerchief in her hand.
“Are you tired?”
Song Si’s clear and meaningful voice rang out.
Xiao Yao subconsciously nodded her head, and only after she did so did she react and immediately shook her head again in a hurry, “No, not tired.”
Light laughter rang out in the car.
Xiao Yao could not wait to find a crack in the car to get out.
“What do you think about the pastry shop?”
Seeing her embarrassment, Song Si did not move and changed the subject.
“I ……”
In order to practice her housekeeping skills, Qin also gave Xiao Yao two shops to take care of, but that was all ready-made, the shopkeeper and fellows inside were all skilled hands, everything did not need him to worry about, just waiting for the monthly head inventory.
But this pastry shop had not yet started, and she had never done this kind of business before, so she was at a loss as to how to answer.
“I don’t have any ideas either.”
Song Si said honestly, “All the businesses in the family were thought up by my younger sister, and the family just followed suit, but the pastry shop was given to you and me to take care of, and we had to make a charter to run it better.”
“I, we?”
Xiao Yao couldn’t believe her ears, in her perception, not only were the men far from the kitchen, even the family business was left alone, just like her grandfather and father. So when she heard that Song Si could cook, she was surprised, and now she was even more surprised to hear that he was going to follow and get involved in the business.
“Yes, no matter who the pastry shop belongs to, it’s the family business, so naturally it’s up to the two of us to take care of it together.”
A monstrous wave of surprise surged in Xiao Yao’s heart, and her eyes glowed with this surprise, reflecting Song Si’s body.
Song Si’s heart choked as she watched, her throat moved unconsciously, panicked and hurriedly turned her head away, pretending that her throat was uncomfortable as she raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed, her ears quickly turning red.
“Are you really willing to share my tending?”
Xiao Yao asked delightedly.
Hearing her crisp voice laced with delight and excitement, Song Si’s ears turned even redder, but her face did not change as she inclined her head, her slightly curved eyes filled with Xiao Yao’s delighted face, “Naturally.”
“Then, I, I, I’ll go back and think.”
Xiao Yao’s excited speech was incoherent, and the young girl’s naive nature was unconcealed in front of him at this moment.
Song Si looked a little dazed and did not respond for a moment.
……
“Housekeeper, go and see, why haven’t they come yet?”
More than once, Lady Ding Guo had people go to the entrance of the house to look, seeing that it was getting dark and several people were still missing, she could not help but call out to the housekeeper to ask him to go to the inn to take a look.
The housekeeper answered and ordered someone to set up a carriage while trotting towards the outside of the residence, just after leaving the residence, he saw two carriages stopping in front of the gate and happily greeted them, seeing Song Si get down from the carriage, a word just shouted out, “Song ……”
Then I saw Song Si turn around and pick up Xiao Yao.
The housekeeper froze slightly and busily said, “Miss Sun, Mr. Song.”
After shouting, he looked towards the carriage at the back.
There was no movement inside the carriage.
The housekeeper then knew that Gu Yi had not come and was very disappointed. Thinking that the old madam had asked the kitchen staff to prepare all afternoon, he finally could not resist asking, “Miss, why are Miss Song and Prince Gu not here? The old madam has asked people to prepare many good dishes and many cakes, all of which they love to eat at their age.”
Xiao Yao naturally knew that since her grandmother had said so, she would certainly have the kitchen people prepare them, but her cousin was afraid that if he came too often, her grandmother would act too obviously and provoke the suspicion of Song Si and Song Wan Yue, so she took the opportunity to tell her while she was working that she would not be coming tonight.
“Mr. Song’s family bought a house in the southern city, and we’ve been shopping all afternoon, so the two of them are tired and won’t come over. In this way, you go and order the kitchen to put the finished meal in a food box for Duke Song to bring back.”
The steward answered and hurriedly went to the kitchen, and in a short while led the four boys out, each carrying a large food box in his hand and placing it on the carriage behind him, “These are all just made, just in time for when we return.”
Song Si thanked him and got on the carriage to return to South City, asking the servants to carry the food boxes in and set them up, greeting Song Wan Yue, Gu Yi and Sun Jin to eat.
Seeing that he had made a trip to see people off and had even brought something back, Sun Jin was surprised, but he had more important things to say and pulled Song Si to the guest hall, “Brother Song, I have something to say to you.”
“Let’s talk about what we have to say after we have eaten our fill.”
“No, I can’t help it.”
Sun Jin dragged him forcefully to the parlour and before he could sit down, he said excitedly, “I have good news for you, Mr. Big has promised his granddaughter, Miss Xu Ling’er, to me.”
Song Si was incredulous, “Say that again!”
Sun Jin smiled and said it again, unable to suppress his excitement, “I would never have dreamed that Mr. Big would betroth Miss Ling’er to me, you know, when he told me, I was a little suspicious, thinking that Miss Ling’er was so incredibly ugly that he was thinking of betrothing her to me. I realized that it was the same young lady I saw outside the old gentleman’s study that day, and she ……, why do you look so ugly?”
Song Si’s lips moved, wanting to tell him what happened that day at the Xu residence, the words reached her mouth, remembering her promise to old sir, and swallowed them back with difficulty.
“You promised?”
“Ah, today I have even asked the official matchmaker to go to my door to propose marriage.”
Song Si’s hand tightened. He hadn’t expected Mr. Big to be so shameless, to set him up unsuccessfully one foot and then have his mind set on Sun Jin the next.
“I came looking for you as soon as I got out of Mr. Big’s house, and you were the first person I told besides my father. Unlike you, you’ve been engaged to the young lady of the Ding Guo Mansion for life, and you didn’t tell me.”
“Sun Jin ……”
Song Si looked at him, her voice deep, “You ……”
After not hearing his next words for a while, Sun Jin looked at him strangely, “Brother Song, just say what you have to say, why are you stammering so much, this is not like your style.”
