Yun Xiangxiang’s words successfully sealed everyone’s mouths.
Even those who had not personally experienced gamblers would know that as long as they had some common sense, quitting gambling was a very difficult thing to do.
Moreover, Yun Xiangxiang was right. Su Cheng was the one who had made a mistake, and the one who had made a mistake should be punished.
If someone could help fill the hole, they could get away with it. That would be unforgivable.
If 20 million was enough to do so many meaningful things, why would he help an irresponsible gambler?
Yun Xiangxiang had always done well in her charity work. She had not debuted for long, but the amount of donations she had made had already exceeded 90% of the people in the entertainment industry, the remaining 10% of the people were seniors who had many times more acting careers than her.
Even if the donation for her birthday was excluded, her personal name alone would far exceed 20 million yuan.
Although the storm had subsided, there were still professional haters who kept saying that Yun Xiangxiang was not helping her family and that she was spending money on charity to buy her reputation.
However, such remarks did not stir up any waves, so Yun Xiangxiang could not be bothered with them.
When she arrived in Gusu and saw the song family’s ancestral residence, she realized that the song residence in Beijing was really nothing.
Yun Xiangxiang thought that she would need to walk around the residence for half a day to walk through it. She had an excellent memory. If she only walked around the residence once, she might still get lost in the courtyard.
The residence was built by the lake, brick by brick, and scenery by step.
The pavilions and pavilions were elegant and natural, and the small pavilions and pavilions were extremely beautiful.
It was even more real and grand than the set and venue of the costume drama that Yun Xiangxiang had seen.
“This place is so beautiful!”Yun Xiangxiang felt that she would be in a good mood for the whole day if she woke up and saw such a beautiful courtyard every day.
“There’s a hot spring in the backyard. You should go take a bath.”Song Mian personally brought Yun Xiangxiang to the backyard.
The hot spring was behind the house. It was surrounded by trees and flowers in full bloom. It surrounded the entire hot spring.
The jade-green spring water looked like a piece of gorgeous jade amidst the mist.
Yun Xiangxiang soaked in the hot spring comfortably. She was tired all over. She could even fall on the bed when she entered the house. She was covered with an exquisite embroidered brocade quilt. She looked at the incense bag hanging by the green gauze curtain and unknowingly fell asleep.
When she woke up, the Sun had already set in the west. The light of the evening shone on the courtyard and dyed it into another color.
Yun Xiangxiang held the incense ball in her hand and sat in the attic. She supported her chin with one hand and watched the fading rays of the sunset in the sky.
Even song Mian didn’t notice that she was behind her.
“What are you thinking about?”Song Mian pulled Yun Xiangxiang into his arms from behind.
“I’m thinking about such a nice place, but no one lives here. It’s such a waste.”Yun Xiangxiang was telling the truth, and she felt it was a bit of a pity.
“It’s because the branches of the song family have withered.”Song Mian did not like to return to his ancestral home.
This was an ancient tradition. In the past, it was always a big family living together. Although it was hard to avoid stumbling, it was still lively.
Now that they were living here, it was too lonely. After living here for a long time, their hearts would become empty like an empty house.
“If you feel that it’s a pity, we can have a few more children.”Song Mian’s lips curved, “When the time comes, we can send one child to every place and let them choose a career that they like to pursue. I will educate them well and make sure that their brothers are respectful and love each other.”
“In your dreams. It’s not like you’re pregnant or giving birth. It’s easy for you to say that.”This time, Yun Xiangxiang did not respond.
She actually liked children very much and did not like being alone. She would just let fate decide how many children the heavens were willing to give her.
Song Mian chuckled softly and kissed her pretty face. He grabbed her wrist and said, “Let’s go and have dinner.”
After hearing what song Mian said, Yun Xiangxiang was really hungry.
It was the first time that the ancestral residence welcomed its new mistress. Of course, Song Mian treated her well with delicious food.
However, the two of them did not eat much. One was the carmine goose breast, one was the chicken marrow bamboo shoot, one was the Golden and silver flower cut, two vegetable dishes, and one was the soup.
Each dish was not much. Yun Xiangxiang’s favorite dish was golden and silver flower cut.
It was said to be an ancient recipe that originated from the Tang dynasty. It was made from crab roe, crab paste, and crab meat. It was a kind of pan-fried cake that was cut into pieces and presented a yellow and white fragrance.
There were only four dishes in total, and three of them were eaten by Yun Xiangxiang.
Looking at Yun Xiangxiang, who still wanted more, Song Mian shook his head with a smile. “I’ll make it for you another day. It’s too much. You Can’t be greedy.”
Yun Xiangxiang could only smacked her lips and give up.
After dinner, Song Mian accompanied Yun Xiangxiang to walk around the jade-like courtyard to digest her food. When they arrived at a four-corner pavilion with light muslin fluttering on the surface of the lake, song Mian brought her in, soon, someone brought her a small stove.
Yun Xiangxiang thought that song Mian was going to make her tea, but in the end, he made her an after-dinner dessert called “Plum blossom soup.”.
It was a plum blossom bud picked after October, dipped in honey, and sealed in a honey jar. It would be taken out during summer and autumn.
She poured a bowl of boiling water and put the bud into the bowl. The plum blossom actually bloomed in the water in an instant. It was extremely beautiful, and at the same time, a refreshing fragrance assailed her nostrils.
It was also fragrant and sweet to drink. Yun Xiangxiang thought that most girls would like it.
In such a picturesque place, enjoying such a classic delicacy felt like a leap of a thousand years.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Xiangxiang asked Song Mian in detail about the process of honoring the ancestors.
There were not many steps, but they needed to pay attention to the details. Song Mian explained it in detail, and Yun Xiangxiang remembered it very seriously.
It was not until it was late that song Mian sent Yun Xiangxiang back to her room.
The day of the ancestor worship was not in these two days. Yun Xiangxiang ran to Song Mian the next day and asked, “Let’s take a set of ancient wedding photos here.”
The scenery here was really beautiful. It would definitely look more charming in the mirror.
Yun Xiangxiang liked it very much. It was one thing to go to a foreign location, but it was impossible for Yun Xiangxiang to go to a foreign location in China.
Unless she was looking for a desolate place, she would have to go to a semi-enclosed village like Shanghe.
Once she met someone, Yun Xiangxiang would not be able to stay quiet. She would be in a good mood to take wedding photos.
“Okay, I’ll get someone to send the dress over.”Song Mian naturally followed Yun Xiangxiang’s advice.
Yun Xiangxiang came to ask if she could take photos inside. She was afraid that there were some rules in the ancestral residence.
“You don’t have to be so formal. There are no taboos for you here, because this place belongs to you,”song Mian could tell that Yun Xiangxiang was a little reluctant to let go and was not at ease, so he told her gently.
Yun Xiangxiang smiled and nodded.
Song Mian went to prepare for the wedding photo shoot, yun Xiangxiang received a phone call from he wei. “I’ve picked out a new script for you. You’ll join the film crew after the New Year. This film is simple and there won’t be any accidents during the shooting. It Won’t take 100 days and won’t delay your wedding.”
Yun Xiangxiang could only sigh in admiration at He Wei’s speed.
