"Yunyao greets Chief Patron Zhang and Madam Patron. Greetings Senior Cao and Madam Jin." After that, they would naturally change their names after formally acknowledging each other as relatives. Therefore, Mu Yunyao would only address them as Lady Cao and Lady Jin.
"Yao'er, get up quickly." Cao YunNian looked at her with satisfaction in his eyes.
Lady Jin also stood up and brought Su Qing to greet Chief Patron Zhang and Madam Patron.
Madam Gu personally helped Su Qing up. Her attitude was extremely gentle, "Madam Su, there is no need to be so courteous. Please take your seat! Today is the most important day, we'll talk about this together another day."
"Yes, thank you Madam Constable."
The etiquette for accepting a husband as his wife was actually not that complicated. Mu Yunyao placed the praying mat on the table and kowtowed to Cao YunNian and Lady Jin to offer them tea.
Both of them were very polite. They took a big gulp from the tea cup and then ordered someone to bring the tray over. They removed the red cloth to reveal a golden bowl, a pair of golden chopsticks, a golden spoon and a longevity lock.
Cao YunNian passed the items to Mu Yunyao and said, "From today onwards, you will be the adopted daughter of my wife and I. Your foster mother and I hope that you can live a long life in peace."
Looking at this exquisite set of things, Mu Yunyao's eyes were filled with a genuine smile."Yunyao kowtows to thank foster father and foster mother."
"Alright, get up quickly."
Jinlan and Jinqiao came in with a tray each.
Looking at the items on the tray, Madame Jin was slightly surprised, but then her eyes lit up."Child, because it's almost the new year, you've chosen to stay close to it. It has only been four or five days, why did you prepare so many things?" On the tray, there were two sets of clothes, one male and the other female, that were prepared for Cao Yunsheng and Lady Jin. On the tray, two female and one female, one male and one female, were placed on the tray, that were obviously prepared for Cao Yunsheng and Lady Jin.
Work.
The guard lady couldn't help but reveal an envious expression, "Yunyao, this child is truly filial. You two can consider yourselves lucky. At the banquet later, put on these two clothes and let us admire you a little."
Of course, Madam Jin was willing to give Mu Yunyao face. She hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll go change in a while."
This was the first time Su Qing had to face such a situation. Su Qing was a little helpless in her heart, but it was fortunate that Lady Jin treated her so intimately, and Mu Yunyao appeared to be especially dignified and proper. The crowd now held a bit more respect towards Su Qing, and speaking to her in an extremely gentle manner made her feel more at ease.
At this moment, there were porridge kitchens on the main streets of the Tomb City. Steward Qin had temporarily closed the building without envy, leading Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others onto the main street to help with the cooking.
The embroidery ladies of the Nebula Market were not idle either. Some of them helped to prepare the porridge, while others took out the leftover corner cloth and distributed it to the poor families as well. The entire Tomb City was shaken by the sight of the huge pot and the bags of food piled high behind him. In the past, there would also be people who would give out porridge when they reached La 'Pito, but most of them would just act as if they were carrying two buckets of porridge and giving it to the wandering beggars to show their kindness and to spread their good name.
。 How could there be such a generous method of applying porridge? The commoners' lives were always tight. Although this year, their lives were slightly better due to the embroidery techniques that Mu Yunyao had taught them, the weather had suddenly turned cold. They needed to buy winter clothes, and they didn't have enough silver. At this moment, he thought he could save some money, so he took his chopsticks and lined up on the street ...
Congee. When the commoners got closer to the porridge shed and saw the porridge in the pot, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide. Burning firewood was placed under the improvised stove. A large pot of thick porridge was bubbling. As each bubble spread out, a rich fragrance wafted into the air and filled the porridge ...
It was made of real material, glutinous rice, coconut rice, lotus seed, lily, red date, millet, walnut, lentil ... With a slight count, there were about a dozen or so materials inside.
Steward Qin smiled as he filled a bowl for the first person who came to receive the congee: "Old man, take your time to drink. If it is not enough, you can drink it again. Just pay attention and line up."
The old man who received the bowl of porridge beamed, "No need, no need. Even if I grow old, I won't be able to eat much. With this bowl of porridge, I'll be able to last me a day!"
Manager Qin was surprised. He took a spoonful of sugar from the wooden bucket beside him and poured it into the old man's bowl."Please enjoy."
The old man was stunned for a moment before bowing."Thank you, Shopkeeper Qin. Thank you, Lady Jin and Lady Mu!" Perhaps it was due to the influence of the old man's actions, but everyone who received the porridge would mutter a thanks to Lady Jin and Lady Mu, as well as a child who didn't even know how to speak. He stuttered as he expressed his thanks.
He was moved.
There were two pots in each kitchen. The wood was used to cook the porridge and the speed was increased. Even so, it was still not comparable to the speed at which the citizens received the porridge.
The majority of the citizens who received the rice porridge made way for the line as they stood at the corner of the street with bowls in their hands and began to drink. For a time, the streets were filled with the fragrance of porridge, and the citizens were talking to each other while drinking porridge.
Inside the Cao family mansion, the atmosphere was extremely lively. The male and female guests did not rush to take their seats and instead urged Cao Yunsheng and Lady Jin to change the clothes that Mu Yunyao had prepared. They all knew that Mu Yunyao's embroidery skills were exquisite and that she had spent three months preparing this annual gift.
She didn't want to miss it. After all, this was the first time she had made a man's clothes.
When Cao Yunsheng and Lady Jin came out of the living room, the lively hall suddenly quieted down.
Cao Yunsheng was wearing a dark blue robe with dark engravings on the collar. There was a cluster of monarch orchids embroidered on the bottom of his robe, and the orchids were vivid and lifelike. As he walked, they seemed to gently unfold the branches and leaves of the orchids, giving him an indescribably gentle and elegant feeling, making him seem ten years younger. Lady Jin, who was standing to one side, was even more outstanding. Her blue dress was embroidered with clusters of pink peonies that extended from her skirt to her waist, perfectly covering her bulging belly. It didn't make her look bloated at all. Instead, it added a sense of elegance to her body.
The most special thing was that there were two dark blue colored butterflies embroidered on the side of the peony. The butterflies' wings were stretched out as they danced around the peony.
The two sets of clothes looked extremely gorgeous when placed together. Now that they were placed together, it gave off the impression of a dark blue butterfly on Lady Jin's body, fluttering past Cao Yunsheng's orchids. Madam Gu looked at it for a long time before suddenly praising, "Flower Butterfly, Lord Cao and Lady Jin are indeed a loving couple."
