Chapter Ninety-Seven: Entrusted with a Heavy Task

On this day, Jin Su got up early again, and after cleaning up, he led Bai Qi to Yunxiang Courtyard.

From the morning to the present, Bai Qi seemed to have something to say, and she wanted to open her mouth several times, but she couldn't do it, seeing her look like she wanted to speak and stopped, Jin Su couldn't help but feel funny.

"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Bai Qi asked puzzled.

"I'm thinking, if I don't ask, will you be suffocated by yourself, haha~"

"What? So you saw it a long time ago, right? Bai Qi said coquettishly.

"Don't worry, Apricot will be back soon." Jin Su replied lightly.

Along the way, there would be maids and women coming and going from time to time, and the two of them stopped talking and chatting, so they arrived at Yunxiang Courtyard without saying a word.

In the courtyard, there were only a few rough mothers-in-law sweeping the floor, and when they saw her coming, they respectfully called "Miss" and continued their work.

But in the room, there was a sound of giggling laughter, which seemed to be very lively.

This time, without Mama Qi informing the house in advance, Jin Su was really a little unaccustomed.

Walking to the door, Jin Su cleared her throat and called softly, "Grandmother, Su Er has come to say goodbye." ”

In response to Jinsu, there were only two laughs.

"Grandmotherβ€”"

Jinsu called again, but there was still no response.

The mother-in-law who was sweeping the floor didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore, and persuaded, "Miss, the old lady is inside, go in, I guess I didn't hear it." ”

Opened the curtain and went in, there was no one on the chairs in the main hall, listening to the movement, they should all be in the back room.

Jin Su stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's so lively inside, no wonder no one paid attention to me when I shouted outside for a long time." ”

The three of them looked back at her at the same time, and the old lady smiled brightly and said, "Hehe~ Su'er is here!" ”

"Grandmother~ What makes you so happy?"

Mama Qi stepped aside, "Hehe~ Miss, come, come here to see," Speaking of this, beckoned her to step forward.

Jin Su smiled and nodded, and when she got closer, it turned out to be a snow-white kitten, lying on the coffee table licking the dried fish on the plate.

The soft and cute little guy seemed to know that Jinsu was looking at it, raised his head, and made a milky "meow".

"Hehe~ Little guy, you like Su'er too, don't you?" As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help but stroke the handful of hair on the kitten's head.

"Grandmother, where did this cat come from, how did she grow so good-looking, no wonder you are so engaged." Jin Su said, and sat down next to the old lady.

Mama Qi on the side has always been fast-talking, and immediately rushed to say, "It's not dawn today, this little milk cat is lying at the door of the old lady and meowing, meowing like a little baby, you can feed it something, it doesn't eat, and it can't drive away." ”

"But isn't it, this little guy, as if he is very close to me, others feed it, it ignores it, and just eats what I give it, do you say this is fate!" The old lady said proudly.

Jin Su echoed and smiled, "To be honest, I've been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, and it's the first time I've seen my grandmother so happy today,"

"Yes, the old slave has been serving in close quarters for so many years, and it is rare for the old lady to be so happy, so just now I was talking about leaving this little guy in our yard to raise it." Mama Qi said.

"Okay!" Jinsu agreed.

Although she didn't know where this wild cat came from, since she was so pleasing to the old lady and didn't get in the way of her, she naturally had no reason to object, and not only that, but she also asked as she liked, "Grandmother, can you choose a name?" ”

"No, for a while, I can't think of any good names, so I might as well help you think about it." The old lady responded to Jinsu with her mouth, but her eyes never took off the cat.

Mama Qi echoed on the side, "Yes, yes, the eldest lady helped me think about it, the slaves and maids thought about it several times just now, but the old lady was not satisfied, and she disliked us for being cheesy." ”

The old lady glanced at it with disgust and pouted, "You are embarrassed to say, which one is good, which one is good, don't you dislike it?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Immediately, a few people were happy again.

Jin Su thought about it, and suddenly thought of a good name, and responded cheerfully, "It's snow-white, and soft and glutinous like a ball, why don't you call it a snowball?" ”

The three of them muttered, "Snowball, snowball." ”

In the end, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, Snowball," and then lowered her head and stroked the kitten's fur again, and said to it, "You have a name, and you will be called Snowball in the future, so it doesn't sound good!" ”

The kitten meowed at the right time.

The old lady was even happier, and teased excitedly, "Xueqiu, you like this name too, haha~~"

"Master~"

Jin Su vaguely heard Bai Qi's voice coming, raised his eyes, and just saw An Heqing open the curtain and prepare to come in. Hurriedly turned to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my father is here." ”

Unlike Jinsu, although An Heqing came in and saw that there was no one in the outer hall, he did not go inside, but called "Mother" and sat down by himself.

Mama Qi was no longer surrounding the little milk cat, she stepped forward to salute An Heqing, and went out to greet tea. And Jin Su and Mama Zhang helped the old lady to the outer hall left and right, and sat in the middle.

As soon as the old lady sat down, she pointed at An Heqing, "What's wrong with your neck?" ”

An Heqing touched the eye-catching scratches on his neck, and said with some embarrassment, "It's nothing." ”

The old lady immediately lost the good mood just now, and casually handed the little milk cat in her arms to Mama Zhang, and scolded with a gloomy face, "Isn't this murdering her husband?" Why are you so ruthless! ”

Jin Su stepped forward to salute An Heqing, and took a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it over, "Father, this is a traceless ointment developed by my master in the early years, which has the effect of reducing inflammation and removing scars, I originally wanted to send it to you in a while." ”

An Heqing took the small medicine bottle and didn't say much.

At this time, Mama Qi came up with tea.

An Heqing took the teacup, held the tea coaster in one hand, gently opened the lid with the other hand, and blew it, but he didn't drink it, as if he had something on his mind.

Looking up, his eyes swept to the snowball in Mama Zhang's hand, and asked, "Where did this cat come from?" ”

Mama Zhang said, "I came here this morning, and I didn't drive it away after a few times, so the old lady decided to keep it in Yunxiang Courtyard, and the eldest lady also named it Xueqiu." ”

An Heqing frowned, as if he didn't like the snowball very much, but he heard him say, "Since my mother likes it, let's keep it, but after all, livestock are animals, you still have to be careful, don't let it hurt your mother." ”

Mama Qi and Mama Zhang responded in unison, "Yes, master." ”

As soon as the painting style changed, the old lady suddenly asked, "Su'er?" I heard that you went to visit your fourth uncle yesterday, are you feeling better? ”

Jin Su sat back in his place and said softly, "When I went, the fourth uncle was still asleep and had no energy, but I heard from the fourth aunt that the fourth uncle had a good appetite, and he drank three bowls of shredded chicken porridge in one go, so he must have improved." ”

The old lady nodded.

"However, I heard the master say that if you want to recover completely, it will take ten days and half a month, and the fourth uncle will not be able to come to my grandmother's birthday." Jin Su said with some regret.

"It's okay, it's important to take care of your body first!"

After the old lady finished speaking, An Heqing covered her mouth, coughed lightly, and then called, "Su'er, I'll leave the matter of grandmother's birthday to you!" ”

"Huh?" Jin Su was surprised, "Isn't the princess already preparing for this matter?" ”

"Now that Ya'er is like that, where does she have the heart to care about this." An Heqing said this, and his tone was a little low.

"That's it, that's it, let's stop the birthday thing, anyway, there will be every year, I'm old, as long as the family is safe, I don't care about these false courtesies." The old lady said freely.

"Mother, this year is your sixtieth birthday, and whatever you say about your son, you should be lively! Besides, Jin Yan sent out the invitation two days ago, if it is temporarily canceled, then what kind of people will we become, and we don't have to make people laugh! An Heqing comforted the old lady.

"But it's just a few days now, is it too late?" The old lady said worriedly.

An Heqing looked at Jin Su and asked, "Su'er, for my father's sake, only you have the ability to complete this matter in this mansion now." ”

"I ......"

Jin Su was a little hesitant, thinking about it with his toes, he knew that this was not a beauty difference in itself. Princess Jin Yan suddenly picked on her son, mainly because she wanted An Heqing to give in to her, and let An Yasheng out on this condition. But now looking at An Heqing's style, he is probably determined to discipline An Yasheng well.

Probably afraid that she would refuse, An Heqing continued, "Su'er, you are the eldest daughter in the mansion, and you should be responsible for the affairs of the mansion. ”

Jinsu said with some apprehension, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do well in such a short period of time, and I will embarrass my father and grandmother." ”

An Heqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief suddenly, and sat back, "Don't be afraid, I've already asked the housekeeper, most of the dishes and snacks that are still prepared have been bought, and even the troupe is invited, as long as you arrange it in the center." And I've already told the butler to get him to cooperate with you fully. ”

Jinsu didn't respond immediately, but looked at An Heqing and then at the old lady, as if he still had any concerns.

"Su'er, since your father has said so, then you can do it with confidence, grandmother believes that you will definitely be able to do it! Of course, if you need help, you can always come to your grandmother. The old lady also encouraged.

Jinsu got up at this time, saluted both the old lady and An Heqing, and said solemnly, "Since grandmother and old lady trust Su'er so much, then Su'er will definitely do her best to give grandmother a happy and lively birthday banquet!" ”

"Good, good!" The old lady replied with a smile.

In the end, An Heqing also smiled reluctantly.
