Madam Su led Madam Li and Daohua back to the third courtyard, sat for a short while, then instructed the maids and old women to prepare the meal.
“This is a soup that Shiyu made early in the morning. Please, have a taste and see how it is,” said Madam Su.
Madam Su personally served a bowl of soup to Madam Li while Su Shiyu also filled a bowl for Daohua.
After taking a sip, Madam Li couldn’t help but praise, “Shiyu is truly a clever and skillful girl; this soup tastes extremely good.”
It delighted Madam Su to hear a guest praise her daughter’s cooking and she felt proud, but she humbly replied, “She can’t compare to your Yiyi, though. I still fondly remember the pastries I had at your place last time.”
The two mothers were complimenting each other’s children, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the dining table.
After the meal, as she watched Su Shiyu calmly assigning tasks to the servants, Madam Li casually remarked, “Shiyu is such a darling girl. I wonder which lucky young man will have her in the future?”
Madam Su paused for a moment but soon replied with a smile, “There’s no rush for that. I only have Hongxin and Shiyu; I must choose their partners carefully. Besides, her brother isn’t betrothed yet, so it’ll be even later for this girl.”
Madam Li nodded in agreement, saying, “Matrimony is a vital matter that affects a child’s entire life. One must indeed select and examine the options carefully. We were busy for quite some time with my eldest son’s marriage affairs. Now that his marriage is settled, I have to worry about my younger son’s. Truly, there’s no rest at all.”
Madam Su laughed and, without expressing any opinion, continued to praise, “I’ve met Wenkai, and he’s a fine and spirited young man. You certainly won’t have difficulty finding a daughter-in-law who meets your expectations.”
