After resting for half an hour, Niu Pan'er took her leave first. In fact, she was also headed to Songshan Temple, but she preferred to travel by horseback rather than by carriage, so she didn't accompany Song Ci and the others at a leisurely pace.
"I had such a delightful conversation with the Old Madam today. If there's a chance after returning to the city, I'll definitely visit your residence to pay my respects to the Old Madam," Niu Pan'er said with a smile to Song Ci.
During the time spent having tea with Song Ci, they got along very well. Song Ci gave her the impression not of an elderly person but of someone of the same age. Her words were interesting; though some seemed coarse, they conveyed deep wisdom.
The Old Madam of the Song Family was very charming and not at all like the stereotype of being rigid and unsophisticated. Niu Pan'er liked her very much.
