The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Chapter 151: Visit to express thanks

Song Tingye took the candied haws from Zhou Sisi's hand and said in the same cold voice, "I came home from work. Grandma said you guys have been out for a long time and she was worried, so she asked me to come out and check on you!"

Zhou Sisi stuck out her tongue and said, "We accidentally wandered around for too long. Let's go back now! We won't let the old man worry."

The three of them returned to the mansion and passed through the gate of the inner house. Without even changing her clothes, Zhou Sisi trotted all the way to Songhe Hall where the old lady was, "Grandma, we're back."

Song Tingye followed behind and shook his head helplessly. This girl still has the mind of a child. When will she grow up?

The old lady had been thinking about Zhou Sisi. When she saw her come back, her face immediately filled with smiles. She took Zhou Sisi's hand and said, "You're glad you're back. Did you have fun?" Zhou Sisi nodded repeatedly.

Song Tingye also followed in, bowed to his grandmother and said, "When I saw them, they were already walking back. Yunxiang had a bunch of things in her hands, and she also had several strings of candied haws in her hands. It was obvious that these two had been shopping quite a lot."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction. "It's good that you enjoy your shopping. However, next time you want to spend such a long time shopping, you must let your brothers accompany you. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."

Zhou Sisi nodded vigorously, "I understand, grandma."

At this time, Chenxiang also came in with a plate of freshly made snacks. Chenxiang had married a guard in the mansion in recent years and became a young wife. She would occasionally come to the mansion to help with chores. She smiled and placed the snacks on the table, "Madam, cousin, young master, this is freshly baked osmanthus cake, come and try it."

Zhou Sisi's eyes lit up, and she reached out and took a piece. It was so hot that she kept changing hands, but she was reluctant to put it down. Everyone laughed when they saw this.

Song Tingye picked up a piece slowly, tasted it and praised: "Agarwood's craftsmanship is getting better and better." The old lady also nodded in agreement.

As they were talking, a servant came in and announced that it was Qi Yuanwailang, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, who came with his wife and children.

Old Madam Song was taken aback. Because her family had been so successful, she feared arousing suspicion from the royal family, so she had kept her interactions with the court officials to a minimum. She only visited them when necessary, and usually exchanged annual gifts. Therefore, the Song and Qi families didn't interact much, so it was unusual for the Qi family to come today.

Madam Song quickly straightened her clothes and said, "Please come in."

Soon, Mr. Qi came in with his family, and Mrs. Song Fang also rushed over after hearing the news.

Mr. Qi had a rectangular face and a slight beard under his chin. He moved with dignity. He bowed and said, "How are you, old lady? I apologize for the inconvenience of visiting you." Old Lady Song hurriedly returned the greeting and asked everyone to sit down.

Qi Yuanwailang's wife, Lin, was also a gentle person. She stood up, took her children's hands, and explained her purpose: "

"I'm here today to thank you, my dear son, for saving my life. My son was a naughty child, so his sister took him out shopping today. Who would have thought that he would eat a candied haws and nearly lose his life. If your young master hadn't come to his rescue in time, his father and I would have been filled with endless sorrow."

As she spoke, she led her son and daughter to kneel down to express her gratitude. Madam Song was so frightened that she hurried to help her. Madam Song also stood up hurriedly, saying repeatedly, "This can't be done! This can't be done! Hurry up and get up!"

Mrs. Song helped the man up and looked at her son. Seeing that he didn't react, and An Ge'er hadn't finished school yet, she was worried that the other party had made a mistake. So she said, "My youngest son hasn't finished school yet. Did Madam make a mistake?"

Madam Qi looked at her daughter. Qi Xinrui nodded and said, "I saw the carriage enter the Song Mansion with my own eyes." Then she pointed at Zhou Sisi, who was standing behind the old lady and trying to make her presence felt. "That's the young master."

Zhou Sisi... didn't want to leave her name, but she was still discovered unexpectedly.

Seeing it was Zhou Sisi, the old lady laughed and said, "This is my goddaughter, not some little master. She was naughty today and wore men's clothes. Sisi, why don't you come and meet Master Qi and Madam Qi."

Zhou Sisi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward to bow, "My humble daughter Zhou Sisi greets Master Qi and Madam Qi."

Madam Qi helped her up and took Zhou Sisi's hand and said, "Rui'er came home and told me that he was a handsome young man, but I didn't expect that he would be a pretty girl. Thank you for saving my Xuan'er."

Then she pulled Qi Xuan over and said, "Xuan'er, come here and thank your sister."

Qi Xuan no longer had the domineering look he had on the street. He bowed to Zhou Sisi politely and said, "Qi Xuan thanks you, sister."

Zhou Sisi was the worst at handling such situations, so she waved her hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, just a little help. I just happen to know a little bit, so don't take it to heart."

Old Madam Song also smiled and said, "It's good that the child is fine. She is just a little girl, and it is also her fate with your brothers and sisters. She doesn't deserve such a formal thank you."

Madam Qi smiled and said, "That being said, I cannot forget your life-saving grace. Miss, you are so proficient in medicine. I wonder where you learned it from?"

Zhou Sisi's face flushed instantly, and she replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Madam, I am not proficient in medicine. I just learned this method by chance in a book." After hearing this, everyone sighed that the child was lucky to have met Zhou Sisi who had learned this method by chance.

Mrs. Qi liked this smart and clever little girl even more, and said to Qi Xuan, "Xuan'er, look at your sister. She is so knowledgeable and talented. You should learn more from her." Qi Xuan nodded obediently.

Then, Madam Qi introduced her daughter. "Xinrui is thirteen this year. I wonder how old Sisi is? You two can spend more time together in the future."

Before Zhou Sisi could answer, the old lady smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Our Sisi is also thirteen this year, and will be fourteen in the new year."

Qi Xinrui stepped forward and took Zhou Sisi's hand. "I was born in the twelfth lunar month. Where's my sister?"

Zhou Sisi smiled and replied, "What a coincidence, me too!"

The last two were paired, and they were only one day apart! Zhou Sisi was twenty-eight, and Qi Xinrui was twenty-nine. They both burst into laughter.

Everyone else laughed too. It was truly a coincidence. For a moment, the atmosphere became harmonious. The two families chatted like old friends, without the awkwardness they had expected.

During the conversation, Mrs. Qi learned that Zhou Sisi's father was none other than the craftsman Zhou Dajiang that her husband often mentioned. She immediately said to her husband, "Master, isn't it a coincidence that this Miss Sisi's father is none other than the craftsman Zhou you often mention!"
