Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 49: Relative Recognition Banquet at the Grand Tutor's Mansion
When the time came, the old master did not let the servant help him, but walked to the chair covered with red satin and sat down.
Seeing this, Su Luoxue hurried forward, kneeling on the prepared cushion, and took the teacup from the maid beside her. She said respectfully, "Grandfather, please accept your granddaughter's greetings! Thank you for not abandoning me. From now on, Luoxue is your granddaughter. Here, please have some tea, Grandfather!"
The old master took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, then took out a thick stack of banknotes from his wide sleeves and handed it to Su Luoxue in front of him, saying earnestly: "My child, Grandfather doesn't have anything that can please girls. I really can't think of what kind of gift to give you, so these banknotes can just be regarded as a little gift from Grandfather. Take it, and buy whatever you like!"
Su Luoxue happily took the stack of banknotes, secretly estimating in her heart that this must be at least 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver! He had previously given her the jade ring awarded by the late emperor, and now he generously gave her so many banknotes. This old man treated her sincerely and cared deeply! So she thanked him with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, grandfather, for your generous gift!" Her face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
Then, Su Luoxue offered tea to Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao in turn, saying respectfully, "Father, Mother, please have some tea." Her attitude was humble and polite, and her manners were elegant and generous.
Lord and Madam Xiao had always liked Su Luoxue from the bottom of their hearts, and the words "father" and "mother" made them smile even more.
Madam Xiao asked the maid to bring a wooden tray, "Child, this is the dowry that mother gave you back then. Today, mother will give it to you as a gift for changing your name."
Su Luoxue stared at the emerald green jade headpiece in front of her, and couldn't help but feel amazed. Every piece of jewelry exuded a crystal-clear light, as if it contained endless vitality and aura. Such a set of headpieces was obviously worth a lot of money. Any one of the jades alone would probably be enough for an ordinary family to live a life of ease and comfort for a lifetime.
"Mother, this is too precious. I really can't accept it." Su Luoxue waved her hands and refused, with a firm look in her eyes. She knew the deep affection behind this gift, but she also knew that she could not easily accept such a precious thing.
"You silly child, no matter how rare and precious something is, it is not as important as you! This is the first gift your mother has given you, how can you not accept it?" Mrs. Xiao said with a slight anger.
After the recognition ceremony was successfully concluded, the wedding banquet began immediately.
The old master was extremely happy today. After all, his long-cherished granddaughter finally came into his life. So he was thinking about having a few drinks with everyone.
However, no matter how Xiao Luobai tried to dissuade him, the old master turned a deaf ear and insisted on drinking.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Luoxue whispered: "While taking the medicine, remember not to touch your lips with any alcohol." Before she finished speaking, the old master put down the wine glass obediently like an obedient child, laughed happily, and took a bowl of hot chicken soup from the maid and tasted it happily.
Xiao Luobai was speechless as he looked at his grandfather, who was always serious and stubborn. It seemed that there was now someone in the Grand Tutor's Mansion who could discipline his grandfather.
Su Luoxue sat next to Xuan Moyin. "Why are you free to come here today?"
"I came here just to join in the fun." Xuan Moyin said lightly.
In the past, Xuan Moyin was unwilling to even attend the annual palace banquet, let alone such a small banquet hosted by some minister's family. However, he attended both banquets hosted by the Grand Tutor's Mansion this time. This not only made Lord Xiao flattered, but also the officials who came to attend the banquet speculated that Xuan Moyin's sudden approach to the Grand Tutor's Mansion was sending some signal.
These adults were all very sensitive to the slightest disturbance in the officialdom, but this time they could not guess that Xuan Moyin's appearance was only because of Su Luoxue.
Xuan Moyin was in a very good mood today. Before, when he saw the way Xiao Luobai looked at Su Luoxue and his attitude towards her, he felt that he had gained a new competitor. But today, Su Luoxue and the Grand Tutor's Mansion became sworn relatives, and it turned out that he just had a new brother-in-law.
Officials came to toast one by one. Xuan Moyin was in a good mood today. Just as he was about to drink from the wine glass, Su Luoxue stomped her foot down and said with a smile, "You can't drink!"
Xuan Moyin could only put down his wine glass, and the officials who came to toast him had to go back one by one.
"Why?" Xuan Moyin asked in a low voice.
"What are you doing now? Have you forgotten?" Su Luo greeted the ladies with a smile on her face and said to him softly.
Detoxification! I am detoxifying myself! I can’t drink alcohol! Xuan Moyin understood immediately.
Prime Minister Su was also drinking happily with other adults. There were many envious people among them. It was easy to see the benefits of being able to get married to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and so many of the old Grand Tutor's students held important positions in the court and various places.
There was no hope for a god-in-law, but it was also good to find a relative. The adults and wives who had girls waiting to be married turned their heads unconsciously to look at Xiao Luobai. This young man had a handsome appearance, and his words and actions were as gentle as jade, showing his dignity and style. Moreover, the backyard of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was clean, and there was no habit of taking concubines, which was also what they liked.
Xiao Luobai, who was being targeted by a group of people, didn't know that in the next few months he would be almost forced to run away from home by the matchmakers who kept knocking on his door.
At this time, Su Qingrou was also restless in Qianyueju, the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yesterday, the Crown Prince promised her that he would apply to the Emperor for an imperial decree to grant marriage today. Now the Crown Prince should be in the Emperor's study.
I don't know what the situation is. In the morning, my father came back from court, changed his clothes, and went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with my mother for a banquet. Her mind was on the prince today, and she didn't have the extra energy to attend Su Luoxue's family recognition banquet.
No matter who adopts her as a goddaughter, as long as the prince asks the emperor for marriage, she will be the crown princess of the Yuan Dynasty and the future queen.
By that time, wouldn't Su Luoxue still be easily trampled under her feet! Wouldn't Su Luoxue still have to kneel down and kowtow to greet her when she saw her?
Thinking of this, she seemed to see Su Luoxue lying on the ground and kowtowing to her, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qinglian, who was standing at the door, shivered with fear. She wondered what was wrong with the Second Miss today. She was walking around the room, then standing there in a daze, then sitting down, not knowing what she was thinking, then frowning, then asking if the eunuchs from the palace had come, then asking if the prince had sent someone to deliver a letter, and then suddenly laughing to herself.
"Qinglian, has the prince sent anyone to deliver a letter?" Su Qingrou asked.
"Miss Second, no." Qinglian replied quickly.
