When Qiao Mu arrived at Second Uncle’s new court, she saw her mom up to her ears in work while busily instructing this and that to the servants.
“Hurry, hurry. The bride and groom are about to come. Get a move on it! Hey, carry the double happiness cakes inside.” The elderly nanny following beside Wei Ziqin was ordering the bustling servants about.
When she looked up and saw Qiao Mu and Shaoyao, she welcomed them in all smiles. “Crown Prince Consort, Miss Shaoyao, you have come. Madam is busy at the moment.”
“It’s fine, I just came over to take a look.” Idler Mu raised her hand to rub her chin. “Is there anything that needs help.”
With the start of spring, the weather had already turned warm.
After Wei Ziqin had made several rounds about the new court, sweat was beading on her nose.
When she noticed that her daughter had come over, she quickly walked up to her and grasped her petite hands with a smile. “Qiaoqiao, there’s a lot happening today, and a lot of people today too. Luckily, your eldest aunt came early and was able to lend me a hand. Oh, right, Qiaoqiao, you still haven’t seen your eldest aunt and cousin. Come, come, come.”
Wei Ziqin was pulling her daughter’s hand as she left Nanny Qiu several more instructions before she called out into the house, “Wenxiu, Ruolan, come quickly. Our Qiaoqiao has come.”
Two women walked out from the inside of the house.
The older one was dressed in a bright blue cheongsam with a straight collar and long sleeves. From the looks of it, the jewelry she was wearing wasn’t too valuable. She nodded at Qiao Mu with smiling eyebrows. “Qiaoqiao, do you still remember Eldest Aunt?”
The young woman possessed delicate and refined facial features, and she was dressed in a long dress with a bottle-shaped collar. With her hair coiled up into a married woman’s bun, her head was free of any accessories. She only wore a wooden hairpin in her hair and a wooden bangle on her wrist in an exceptionally simple and modest fashion.
Qiao Mu walked up and nodded at Qiao Wenxiu and her daughter. “Eldest Auntie, Older Cousin.”
“Qiaoqiao, good child, Eldest Aunt doesn’t have a valuable greeting gift to give to you, but take this as a token of Eldest Aunt’s affection for you.” Qiao Wenxiu then stuffed a pure gold bangle into Qiao Mu’s hands.
Its purity was not too good, and it could even be considered to be of inferior-quality among Qiao Mu’s pile of gold, jade, and gems.
If it were a young lady who despised the poor and curried favor with the rich, then that young lady might even rebuff them for being poor relatives.
Yet Qiao Mu accepted it without another word and nodded toward Qiao Wenxiu while saying with a deadpan expression, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Qiao Wenxiu smiled happily. “Back then when Auntie returned to Qiaotou Village with your older cousin, you were still young and probably had no memories of that time yet. This is your older cousin Ruolan.”
Pu Ruolan stepped forward with a smile and greeted, “Younger Cousin.”
“Alrighty, Mom and your eldest aunt still have a lot of things to take care of. Help Mom entertain your older cousin.” Wei Ziqin chuckled, about to pull Qiao Wenxiu along to leave.
At that moment, a woman rushed inside breathlessly and announced with her face wreathed in smiles, “They’re coming, they’re coming! The bride’s sedan is about to reach the intersection.”
“Aiyah, hurry, hurry, hurry. Go to the entrance to welcome them. Are the gongs and drums ready! How about the drummer, where is the drummer.”
“Madam, everything is ready. Let us go to the entrance quickly.”
Qiao Mu speechlessly watched as her mom left in double time. Since her mother was busy with receiving the bride, she became Idler Mu again.
Afterwards, she turned to say to Pu Ruolan, “Older Cousin, let’s go to Xiao Lin’er’s court. It’s a bit too chaotic here.”
Pu Ruolan nodded with a smile. “Okay.”
The two people exited the main door to the new court and made a turn for Xiao Lin’er’s court. They had only gone halfway when they met up with the young lady who was rushing over in a bustle.
