At the mention of Topaz, Jin Hao’s face did not have the same excitement and devotion as when he first met her.
Song Wan Yue did not understand what had happened between the two, but did not ask more questions, as marriage is destined by God, if Huang Yu and Jin Hao are not destined for each other, it would be useless even if they set them up again.
“Miss Huang Yu is not bad, there is no better one if you miss out, you take advantage of it.”
“I, I know.”
Jin Hao was a little short of breath.
Song Wangyue heard it, but pretended not to hear it and turned to walk away.
Jin Hao stood in the same place, bitterness welling up in his heart.
The more he got in touch with Huang Yu, the more he felt that he was not good enough for her. Huang Yu was exactly like a lady of the house, excellent in both her speech and her work, while he had no other strengths except his wit. If it wasn’t for what Huang Yu had gone through, he would never have come into contact with such a good girl in his life.
But because she was good, he couldn’t let her down.
Turning around and looking at Huang Yu’s courtyard for a while, he hung his head and dragged his feeble legs back to the courtyard.
In the evening, the Meng House was once again abuzz with excitement.
The masters, large and small, were even more excited than the day Meng arrived. The soap was so good, even the bathing time was shorter than usual with it, and not only that, it retained its scent afterwards, even better than a flower petal bath.
When Meng Jiao finished her bath, her hair wasn’t even completely strung out, so she flung herself onto the bed and rolled around Song Wangyue twice in excitement.
The weather was hot and she had to take a bath every time she came back, otherwise her body would smell bad. But it was too much trouble to take a bath every time, but now it was better to wash her body once with soap and it smelled good.
“Sister Yue’er, I admire you to death.”
Song Wan Yue was a little breathless from her hug and pulled her hand away to sit up, her desire to abduct her back and make her her second sister-in-law even stronger.
Such a gregarious girl was perfect for second brother.
Meng Jiao followed suit and sat up, facing her, “I’ll go to grandfather tomorrow, I want to be in charge of the soap workshop.”
“If cousin puts her hand to it, it will be the fastest to build and the fastest to earn money.”
“That’s ……”
Meng Jiao proudly listened as she puffed up her small chest, “Although I am inferior compared to you, I am also very capable, grandfather has said that if I were a male, I would be the most productive in the family.”
“If you were in charge of the workshop, would you still have time to go to the capital with us?”
Meng Jiao had not expected this question and was torn for a moment. She wanted to go to the capital, to meet her sister-in-law, as Yue’er called her, and to see the sights of the capital; but she also wanted to be in charge of the workshop. The soap was so good, if we made it it would be a big seller!
“The soap will sell like hotcakes, and you’ll be responsible for a series of workshops at home. But, the opportunity to go to the capital may be just this once, you have to think about it.”
The actual fact is that you will not be able to go to the capital this year, but next year it will be time to discuss the marriage, so you will never have the chance again.”
“I want to go to the capital.”
Meng Jiao made her decision at once.
Seeing that the coaxing was successful, Song Wangyue immediately held out her little finger, “Then let’s make a deal, no backtracking.”
Meng Jiao thought she couldn’t let go of herself, so she smiled and arched her eyebrows, stretching out her little finger and hooking it around hers, “No regrets.”
The next day, after breakfast, Song Wangyue ordered everyone to go and prepare, except for the old man, Xu and Song Lin also followed.
Before they were ready, Gu Wen came over with Xiao Bao, who had gotten to know Song Wan Yue well over the past two days and opened her hand for her to hug her.
Song Wangyue smiled and took Xiao Bao over to her and gave him a kiss on the cheek, and Xiao Bao followed suit, clapping her hands in joy afterwards.
Gu Wen looked amazed, “This child seems to know our situation, he never gets so close to people, could it be that he really knows that you saved him when he was born.”
Song Wan Yue listened with amus*ment, “It’s just a matter of fate, second sister is exaggerating.”
Gu Wen also felt that she was overthinking, Xiao Bao’s eyes only opened two days after he was born, how would he know who saved him? She stopped talking about the topic and smiled, “I heard that you are going out for a trip?”
“Yes, we’ve been here for so many days and have been so busy with the soap that we haven’t had time to go out.”
“Let’s go to my house, there are mountains and water, it’s perfect for a swim.”
Song Wan Yue was surprised, “Second sister doesn’t live within Jinling City?”
Gu Wen slapped her forehead, “I forgot to tell you, we live twenty miles outside the city, that day we came into the city to buy something, the place that my younger brother chose for us according to a place is very good, by the mountains and water, just that there are fewer people.”
Song Wan Yue understood, she had always wondered how the Gu Wen couple had not heard about her taking down the Third Prince when almost the whole of Da Qing Kingdom knew about it, nor did they know that something had happened to the Gu family.
“Yes, let’s go with second sister to take a look.”
Song Wangyue went and told the old man, who naturally had no problem with it, he was just out for a trip this time, so he could go anywhere.
Everything was ready, and the group got on the carriage and headed out of town in a big way. The sign of the Meng family was so obvious on the carriage that pedestrians on the road avoided it.
The carriage soon left the city and followed Wen’s directions all the way to where she lived, at the foot of a hill with a beautiful view of the water, as she had said.
The mansion was also very large, and from the outside it looked no different from an ordinary house, but inside there was something else, no worse than the Meng family’s mansion.
“At first we thought that my little brother had deliberately chosen such a place for our family, but now we realise how much thought he had put into it.”
So many days had passed since she knew the truth, and although Gu Yi was mentioned in a calm tone, Gu Wen could not help but redden her eyes.
That was what he and his husband had thought at the beginning, and they had abhorred the mansion so much that they thought it was a compensation for them from Gu Yi.
Xiao Bao seemed to sense the change in her emotions and called out softly for his mother. Gu Wen lowered her head to hide the emotions in her heart, and raised her head again with a smile on her face, “Behind the mansion is the big river, and my husband was bored and made some fishing rods.
Song Lin used to go hunting in the mountains, but he had never gone fishing. Hearing Gu Wen’s words he jumped at the chance and asked the old man, “Grandfather, are you tired, if not how about we go fishing?”
The old gentleman had never fished before either, so he gladly agreed.
Gu Wen went to get the fishing rods and fish food and asked the servants to take the two of them there, and ordered the maids to prepare some tea and cakes to send over.
After this was done, she led Xu and Song Wan Yue for a stroll around the mansion.
Da Ya, Er Ya and Huang Yu only smacked their lips when they looked at it.
……
The mountain and water were so good and the scenery was so good that they stayed here for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, Meng Cheng rode a fast horse over to look for Song Wan Yue.
“Sister Yue’er, the governor of Jinling has sent someone to the door to ask you to go and treat his old mother.”
