Chapter 61 Going to the Shen Mansion for a Banquet
As she was going to attend a banquet at the Shen's house, Su Ma was worried about what gift to give.
Su Weixi had just gotten up and was having breakfast when he saw Su Ma discussing with Nanny Zeng what gift would be more appropriate.
It was only then that Su Weixi remembered what he had learned from Bai Youyou yesterday about the Shen family's situation.
Shen Jingzhou got married in a border town this time. Due to some reasons and the fact that the border town was far away, no other family members came, only Shen Jingzhou's parents came.
According to Bai Youyou, Shen Jingzhou's father, Shen Wanli, like her, loves collecting all kinds of delicious food.
Shen Jingzhou's mother was from the Wang family. Besides reading books, she also liked dressing herself up.
So Su Weixi suggested taking two bottles of Maozi and Wuliangye from the space, and then choosing some lipsticks in colors suitable for middle-aged women and a set of skin care products.
Originally, Su Weixi wanted to give a set of cosmetics, but then she thought that it would also require various makeup tools, and the people here didn't know how to use them, so she gave up.
"Should we buy some more things? Won't these things be too few?" Su Ma said with some hesitation.
"No need, these are enough." Su Weixi said indifferently.
"But in the past, during festivals and holidays, they gave us a lot of nice things. If you pawn any of those head ornaments and jewelry alone, you could buy a small house." Su Ma told Su Weixi her opinion.
"Mom, it's really not necessary. The things people gave us before were mainly because they thought our family saved Shen Jingzhou's life, so you don't have to feel burdened. Besides, although the things we gave us seem to be quite small, they are not available here."
When Su Weixi comforted Su Ma, her anxious heart instantly calmed down.
Su Weixi understood Su Ma, as his family had been living in the valley for the past few years.
She was a little panicked because she hadn't had any social interactions for a long time.
Fortunately, there has been Nanny Zeng at home in recent years. When they were discussing whether to live outside the valley, although they had not yet decided, Su Ma also made preparations in advance and asked Nanny Zeng to give herself and Su Weixi some etiquette lessons.
The next day, the Su family had just finished tidying up, and Su's mother was instructing the two little ones on what to pay attention to when visiting someone else's home.
While Su's father went to arrange a carriage, he didn't expect Shen Jingzhou to come in person with the carriage to pick up the Su family.
Another piece of news was revealed that the Duke of Zhenguo would also go to the Shen Mansion today.
The Su family understood after a little thought that they had not only saved Shen Jingzhou, but also detoxified Xiao Yi and saved his life.
As the families of military commanders, the women and children of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were all in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the capital. It was inconvenient for the Xiao family to entertain the Su family, and since they were relatives of the Shen family, they simply chose to meet them at the Shen family.
Therefore, Su Ma found an excuse to go back to the house with Su Weixi, and asked Su Weixi to bring out a few bottles of wine, presumably, people who practice martial arts should like wine.
Fortunately, the space had already unlocked the material copying function, otherwise Dad Su would definitely not be willing to give away such good wine.
The carriage drove for two quarters of an hour and finally stopped.
After getting off the car, Su Weixi looked around and found that just by looking at the gate, he knew that the Shen family’s mansion in the border town was very large, with a pair of majestic stone lions at the door.
As we walked inside under the guidance of the nanny, we found that the layout was very exquisite and it was obvious that the garden had been carefully arranged by a craftsman.
Perhaps because Shen Jingzhou's wedding is approaching, there are festive decorations everywhere.
Soon, we arrived at the lobby.
There were two middle-aged men sitting at the top. The man on the left looked wealthy, and below him sat a beautiful lady.
On the right sat a man with a dignified look.
Without thinking too much, the ones on the left are Shen Jingzhou's parents, and the one on the right is Xiao Yi's father, Duke Xiao Zhong.
"Uncle and aunt, this is my uncle, the Duke of Zhenguo. This is my father and mother. Uncle, father and mother, these are the saviors of my cousin and me, the uncle and aunt of the Su family."
Shen Jingzhou introduced the two parties to each other.
"Hahahaha, Brother Su, I finally meet your family. Thank you for saving my son's life many times. From now on, he will be considered half your son, and you can order him around if you need anything." Father Shen spoke first. As a businessman, he said it very beautifully.
"Brother Shen, you're too polite. It's all coincidence." Father Su said modestly.
When others are polite, you can't take advantage of them.
"Brother Su, thank you so much. Your family saved my son's life. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will remember this kindness." The Duke of Zhenguo also expressed his gratitude.
"You are too polite, Duke Zhenguo. The young general has been fighting bravely on the battlefield for many years. We cannot just stand by and watch him die."
"Then you guys continue chatting. I'm going to take Mrs. Su and the others to the backyard. I won't stay with you bunch of stinky men anymore." Mother Shen suddenly said.
After saying that, he left with Su Ma and the other two. Su Ma originally wanted to take An An with her, but she felt that the backyard was a place for women and she wanted to stay with her father.
Su Ma just let him do what he wanted. After all, he was well-behaved and sensible, so nothing would go wrong.
On the way, Shen's mother kept holding Su's mother's hand and kept expressing gratitude, thanking the Su family for saving her son and then her nephew.
But after a while, when they arrived at the reception area in the backyard where Shen's mother was receiving guests, the two women were already calling each other sister.
"We have just arrived in the border town and this is our first visit. We don't know what gifts to prepare. Yesterday, my daughter ran into Miss Bai on the street. I learned that you have always been interested in makeup, so I prepared some lip balm. I hope you don't mind."
After Su Ma finished speaking, she signaled to Madam Zeng to hand the gift she had prepared to the madam next to Mother Shen.
"Sister, you are too polite. I am sorry. Originally, you should come to visit us, but as you know, Jingzhou's wedding is approaching and my family is really busy, so I would like to trouble you to come instead."
The two of them were polite to each other again, and Su Weixi quietly took care of his sister.
"By the way, sister, this lip balm is quite special. Do you need me to teach you how to use it?"
Mother Su suddenly remembered that Mother Shen had never seen the lipstick before, and was afraid that Shen didn't know how to use it, so she asked.
At this moment, the two of them were already very familiar with each other, and felt that they had met too late, so Shen's mother naturally agreed.
So Shen's mother ordered the nanny beside her to open the gift box.
Mother Shen was also surprised when she saw the lipstick jars of various shapes in the gift box.
Even though she had seen a lot of things in the world, she had never seen this kind of lip balm. The ones she usually used were put in small porcelain jars.
Su's mother reached out and picked up one, pulled out the cap, twisted the lipstick out, and told Shen's mother that this was actually called a lipstick.
When Shen's mother saw the colors, she was very excited. She pulled Su's mother to open them one by one. Shen's mother even picked a color on the spot and used it directly.
I also asked where she bought it, and Su's mother said she made it at home.
It’s true, Su Weixi is really good at making lipstick.
Then Su Weixi gave a brief account of the production process of lipstick.
We had a very pleasant time together this morning.
Including Su's father and others in the front yard. Su's father was a soldier and then did business, so he is considered to be knowledgeable.
Therefore, there is always something to talk about with the Duke of Zhenguo or the Shen family. If the occasion is not inappropriate, the Duke of Zhenguo would like to have a fight with Su's father.
Of course, the last few people just tasted the wine brought by Su's father, and immediately attracted two people who loved drinking.
It was not until almost noon that Xiao Yi arrived and everyone had lunch before saying goodbye.
When leaving, Shen's mother took Su's mother's hand affectionately and said that the two families must interact more often in the future.
