After a simple breakfast, the sky was still dark, but the streets were not dim because there were many shops in the city that opened early, and the candles in the corridors were all lit up.
The group got on the carriage.
Xiao Wu had always followed Shopkeeper Sun when he was in Jinji for business negotiations, so he had been to Fucheng seven or eight times, and was quite familiar with the streets.
At this moment, there were not many pedestrians on the street, so he didn’t take a shortcut and go straight on the main road. Before long, they arrived at the side entrance of the Wang family.
Although the Wang family was a merchant family, their mansion was built more grandly than the Qi family, and seemed to have been renovated in recent years. The colors of the walls and eaves were very new and stylish.
The third Madam had already told the servant boy to welcome them at the side entrance. After Shopkeeper Sun reported his identity, that servant took them into the mansion and to the public kitchen.
The Wang family had a total of three sons, with the eldest one being the legitimate heir of Old Mr. Wang, and the second and third sons both born from the concubines.
Today was the Zhuazhou banquet for the eldest grandson of the eldest family, which was extraordinarily grand and festive.
-Zhuazhou : one-year-old catch, is a Chinese ritual held at a child’s first birthday party, when the child is 1 year, typically twelve months since birth. The parents put various objects before the child that symbolize career choices or personality traits. The child’s choice is used to forecast its future.
The servants should have started working from midnight, and the backyard was brightly lit.
The servant boy led the way and occasionally glanced at the siblings from time to time, mainly looking at Su Xiaoxiao.
There was no way, even if Su Xiaoxiao lost dozens of pounds, she was still considered chubby in ancient times.
However, compared to her original black chubby appearance, she was now a white chubby girl, which was somewhat cute.
“Qiu ge’er*, who is it?”
*(Name) + ge’er (哥儿) / jie’er (姐儿) : In the past, the elders using this to call the younger generation affectionately.
A sweeping old woman servant whispered to the servant boy.
The servant boy whispered, “The Third Madam invited a cook from Xinghua Town.”
“From the town?” The old woman servant pursed her lips, obviously looking down on people, “What did Third Madam think?”
“Shh—” the servant boy looked around, “don’t let Third Madam hear this.”
“I know, I know.” The old woman servant responded and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times. She was the most eye-catching person in the group, making it impossible for anyone not to pay attention.
The conversation between the two was heard clearly to Su Xiaoxiao, with chains of contempt everywhere.
Those in the town looked down on those in the countryside, while those in Fucheng looked down on those in the town……
Just do our job well and there is no need to worry about other people’s opinions.
The third madam had thoughtfully prepared a separate small kitchen for them and instructed the servant boy if they had any needs for the food ingredients, they would try their best to fulfill them without having to report to her specifically.
However, when the servant boy took them to the small kitchen that had been prepared early in the morning, he unexpectedly found someone there.
It was also a new face.
The servant boy froze and asked, “Who are you? Who permitted you to be here?”
The middle aged man who was preparing flour in the kitchen said, “We are pastry cooks invited by the Wang family.”
The servant boy said, “That’s not right ah, the pastry cook is here ah.”
“What happened?”
A delicate female voice rang out slowly from a distance.
The person who came here looked like she was 35 or 36 years old, she was fully dressed in gorgeous clothes, sparkling jewels, and rings pendant, exuding a sense of wealth and prestige.
She was accompanied by a little maid and an old woman servant, both dressed elegantly.
The servant boy turned around and greeted the other person, respectfully greeting, “Second Madam!”
The second madam smiled lightly and asked, “it’s Ling Qiu ah, what are you doing here?”
The servant boy who was called Ling Qiu said, “Replying to Second Madam, this servant brought the cooks here to make snacks.”
“Where did the pastry cooks come from?”
“It’s from Xinghua Town.”
“Who invited the town’s cooks?”
“It’s me who invited them, does second sister-in-law have any objections to that?”
The third madam came over with her maid and old woman servant.
Her attire was a bit plainer than the second madam’s, and she was also younger and more beautiful.
She stopped beside the servant boy and Shopkeeper Sun’s group, looking at the second madam across from her.
