"Did you see that? The Song boy is driving a carriage. Is that one bought by the Song Family?"
"Are you confused? With the Song Family's circumstances, could they afford mules? Didn't you see Wang Family's daughter on the carriage? It's obvious that the Wang Family bought it, and the Song boy is just driving it back for them."
"Look at them, why don't you learn from that young lad of the Song Family? He broke off an engagement before, but now that he sees the Wang Family prospering, he has the nerve to cozy up to them. If you were as shrewd as him, I wouldn't have to worry about you..."
...
There were all sorts of comments, but Song Chongjin turned a deaf ear to them.
Those who were slightly acquainted with Song Chongjin asked, "Brother Song, whose carriage is this?"
Song Chongjin answered very candidly, "It's bought by Yongzhu's family. I'm just helping to drive it back."
That elicited a wave of envy.
