Chapter 129 130: The non-arrogant goblin

  Song Yunzhao heard the deep meaning in the words of the eldest lady, thought for a while and said: "Auntie, I don't know much about the Xie family, and I can't make a conclusion on this matter for the time being. I will talk to you after I think about it. However, I still know Lin Lang well, and her elder brother Xie Ergongzi has a good temperament."

  The eldest lady nodded slightly, understanding Yun Zhao's meaning. She didn't understand the Xie family, so it's not easy to get involved too deeply, but Xie Jinshu's brothers and sisters are all good, so they can continue to do business.

  Also, although the Xie family is a merchant, the tree has deep roots and naturally forks. It may not be a good thing to have close contacts with the entire Xie family. It is better to single out one person, but it is very safe.

   Seeing that the time was almost up, the eldest lady was about to get up to say goodbye, when she heard the palace servant come back and report, "Master, please see Mrs. Nanbo."

  After hearing the words, the eldest lady sat back and asked Mrs. Nanbo what to do?

  She didn't have a good impression of this person, he was just a mercenary.

  Song Yunzhao did not expect Mrs. Ding Nanbo to come to see her, so he was not surprised after thinking about it. After all, the two of them were somewhat related by blood.

  She looked sideways at the eldest lady and smiled, "I didn't have a chance to meet this aunt when I came to Beijing, but I didn't expect to see her now."

  The eldest lady said directly: "If you don't want to see Jieyu, then you don't have to. If you do, don't be afraid. I'm here."

   Yunzhao can say things that are difficult for a junior, she can say, but she wants to see what Mrs. Ding Nanbo is doing.

   "I can probably think of what she's going to say." Song Yunzhao said calmly. "Bring people in."

  It is not the first time Mrs. Nanbo has entered the palace. When Concubine Chu was still there, although she was a stepmother, she was still required to enter the palace to communicate with the concubine about matters related to the uncle's mansion, so she was no stranger to the palace.

   Concubine Chu's Yaohua Palace is in the east of Changle Palace. In the past, when she entered the palace, she would go all the way to Yaohua Palace along the palace road outside Changle Palace.

  But now Yaohua Palace is empty, and her route to enter the palace is to turn right from the palace road in the south of Changle Palace, pass Roufu Palace, and go straight to Wangyou Palace.

  Wangyou Palace is located in the southeast corner of the entire harem. In such a remote place, only unfavored concubines would live here during the first emperor's time, but it is different now. Song Yunzhao lives here. Even if it is remote, it has become the most lively place in the harem.

  She met a lot of noble ladies along the way. Everyone was familiar with each other in the capital, and they dispersed after entering the palace.

  Mrs. Ding Nanbo stood outside Wangyou Palace and straightened her clothes before walking in with the palace staff.

  As soon as I entered, I saw a whole row of palace lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor. At this time, some palace people were lighting the lanterns, which instantly illuminated the entire courtyard like daytime.

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo was dazzled, she raised her foot to step up the steps, stepped on the light and followed the palace people into the palace.

   "Master, Mrs. Ding Nanbo has arrived."

   Mrs. Ding Nan Bo got her mind together, and she stepped forward to salute, "My wife pays homage to Jieyu."

   "Mrs. Uncle, please stand up and sit down."

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo thanked Li for getting up, raised her head slightly to look at Song Yunzhao who was sitting at the head, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Song Yunzhao's face was completely different from that of her sister and eldest niece.

  The eldest lady saw Mrs. Dingnanbo's slightly lost expression, sneered in her heart, and said, "Why is Mrs. Uncle in a daze, please sit down."

   Mrs. Ding Nan Bo came back to her senses and found that Mrs. Song was still sitting next to her. The smile on her face froze, "The Mrs. Song is here too. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is it okay?"

   "Mrs. Monbe is thinking about it, very good." The eldest lady got up and gave a salute. In terms of rank, she is naturally inferior to Mrs. Uncle, and the ceremony cannot be dismissed.

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo knew that Mrs. Song had a good relationship with Song Yunzhao, so she deliberately came late, but she didn't expect Mrs. Song to still be there, so she couldn't help but feel a little dignified.

  The eldest lady is also here, so it is difficult for her to speak some words. She can't ask why the palace banquet invites the eldest lady instead of her sister. She doesn't want to tear herself apart with the Song family now, and it won't do her any good.

  Song Yunzhao was also looking at Mrs. Ding Nanbo at this time. It was not easy for Ding Nanbo to choose her as his stepmother back then. Although many people would disdain her as a stepmother, it would be highly desirable for a daughter of the Cai family to be the stepmother of her uncle.

  Song Yunzhao didn’t have a good impression of Mrs. Ding Nanbo from the Cai family, so he looked at the people and said indifferently: “Speaking of which, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone from my natal family, and it’s also the first time I’ve seen Mrs. Uncle.”

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo felt like she was sitting on pins and needles when she heard these words, but she didn't expect Yun Zhao to be so shameless, she couldn't answer these words.

   Laughing embarrassingly, Mrs. Ding Nanbo said: "In the past, Jieyu lived in Nanyu, so it was really not easy to meet. Fortunately, staying in the palace now makes it easier to meet."

  The eldest lady heard such shameless words, which opened her eyes, but what kind of face would a person who is willing to be someone else's stepmother want?

   "Mrs. Uncle's words are a bit wrong. After all, Sylvia and her family are very close, not to mention seeing each other every year, but they are almost the same." The eldest lady said with a cold face.

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo didn't expect the eldest lady to give her a knife in front of her. She had a thick skin, so she couldn't stand it now, so she could only say: "What the eldest lady said, the matter between my younger sister and Jieyu, how can I, as an aunt, get involved, and besides, I only learned about some things later."

   "Since Mrs. Uncle was not easy to get involved in the past, she will naturally not be easy to get involved in the future. Our Song family will not make things difficult for you."

  Song Yunzhao almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The aunt is really mighty, and what he said was too heartbreaking.

   Sure enough, Mrs. Ding Nanbo's face was a little uneasy, "What the lady said, it used to be that there was no way to do it because of the distance, but now it's different in the capital."

   "I am also a little puzzled by Mrs. Uncle's words. Since we are both in the capital, why didn't Mrs. Uncle see her after Yunzhao came to Beijing?" The eldest lady thought about how Mrs. Uncle relied on her own status and her own Ye Xi suffered a disadvantage in her house, so she couldn't swallow this sigh.

   Who do you look down on?

  At the beginning, it was difficult for her to seek justice. The Song family could not be tough with the Dingnanbo Mansion. She also had to think about her daughter's reputation, and she had to swallow the loss of being dumb. Now it is different.

  Feng Shui turns around, this year to my house.

   "Ma'am, what do you mean?" Mrs. Ding Nanbo's complexion also darkened. She deliberately lowered her posture to reconcile, but she didn't just let people step on her face casually.

   "What do you mean, Mrs. Uncle knows it very well, why do you need me to say it." Da Furen sneered.

  Ms. Ding Nan Bo's face was gloomy. She thought that she would remember the relationship between the two families to some extent, and that the eldest lady must show some kindness on her face, but she was so ruthless, which put her in a dilemma.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding Nanbo ignored Mrs. Song, turned her head to look at Song Yunzhao, her eyes blushed slightly, and said, "I know that Jieyu still remembers the time when she came to Beijing, but at that time I also asked my sister why she didn't bring you to the house. She said that you were not well enough to go out as a guest, so I thought about your health, so how can I let you run around. If I had known about the gap between your mother and daughter, I would not have come to a conclusion easily."

   Hearing that Mrs. Dingnan blamed Mrs. Cai, Song Yunzhao was not surprised at all. She looked at Mrs. Dingnan and said, "Since Mrs. Uncle didn't know, I can't blame you."

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo was overjoyed when she heard the words, she felt a little relieved, and then continued: "I know that my sister has done something wrong, and her unfairness hurt Jieyu's heart, but it's just that she is a mother and daughter, so there is no overnight feud. I thought that things have passed for so long, and my sister has the intention of repenting, so I came to Jieyu to talk about it."

  Song Yunzhao looked at Mrs. Dingnan Bo, "I heard that Mrs. Uncle has a good relationship with Ding Nanbo's eldest daughter, but there is one thing I don't know. Since your mother and daughter have a good relationship, why did Mrs. Uncle not even sit in the chief seat when Miss Chu got married?"

  What kind of temperament is Chu Yuying? Domineering and selfish. In the book, she is merciless to the original owner. What kind of feelings does such a person have for a stepmother? What kind of mother-daughter relationship is said to be good?

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo couldn't hold back the smile on her face this time. Hearing this, she knew that she might have come in vain. She suppressed her anger and said, "I happened to be sick at that time, so how can I get over the newcomer's sickness?"

   "That's really a coincidence." Song Yunzhao looked at Madam Dingnan and sighed. "Speaking of which, Miss Chu married and married to the Marquis of Yongjia. I heard from Song Qinghan that Madam Chu and Miss Chu's mother and daughter are on good terms. We will congratulate them when we meet. Madam and I are biological mothers and daughters, and it is embarrassing that we are not as close as Mrs. Uncle and Miss Chu."

  Song Yunzhao's words were to warn Mrs. Ding Nanbo that Chu Yuying did not marry into a family with no name and surname, but married the eldest grandson of the Yongjiahou Mansion. If Mrs. Yongjiahou brought her into the palace, she could do it.

  So Song Yunzhao and her really had a chance to meet, but with Chu Yuying's temperament, she would not give Mrs. Nan Bo face, and put on a posture of motherly love and filial piety.

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo's face is broken, and her heart is full of anger. No wonder my sister doesn't like this daughter. Who would like such a temper!

  The eldest lady felt really relieved watching this scene, she got up immediately and said: "It's getting late, and the minister's wife should leave too, so as not to delay Jieyu's time to go to the banquet." Then she looked at Mrs. Ding Nanbo, "Ma'am, will you be with me?"

  Mrs. Ding Nan Bo got up to leave with a stiff face, she knew that she had come in vain.

  After leaving the palace gate of Wangyou Palace, Mrs. Ding Nanbo looked at Mrs. Song and said, "Why do you need to sow dissension, Madam? Could it be that the relationship between my sister and Jieyu is good for the Song family? Madam should also look far away. If there is any grievance in my family, the matter is over."

  The eldest lady was not angry when she heard this, she looked at Mrs. Uncle and said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Dingnan is going to invite the eldest son to be the eldest son. Since Mrs. Uncle is so virtuous and magnanimous, surely she won't object?"

  Ding Nanbo's eldest son was born to his ex-wife. Cai's son was born five years after entering the family. He holds it like a baby. How can he have no idea about the position of the son?

  She is so troubled to make Cai Shi and Yun Zhao reconcile, isn't it because she wants to use Yun Zhao's favor to interfere with the son's affairs?

   What I thought was beautiful!

   "Don't worry about the affairs of our family."

   "Mrs. Uncle also knows that it is a matter of someone else's house." Da Furen stabbed, and then left with a flick of her sleeves.

what!

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo looked at the lady's back with a very embarrassing expression. Why couldn't she understand what she meant? Don't you think she is meddling in her business?

  Today’s palace banquet, the road outside the palace is full of fragrant cars, the dignitaries are like a stream, the palace is full of people, the palace people rush to and fro, and the outside of the Tsinghua Hall is even more lively.

  At this time, the banquet has not yet started, but there are already a lot of married women, chatting and laughing together in twos and threes. Bamboo curtains are hung under the corridor to keep out the wind, tassels sway gently in the evening wind, clear light for pictures, high-knot Chinese clothes, and endless laughter.

  As soon as Mrs. Song stepped in, Mrs. Han immediately pulled her over, introduced the people around her, and said with a smile: "Why did you arrive so late? I've been waiting for you for a while, and I'll introduce you to some ladies."

  The eldest lady immediately put on a proper smile, and said to the ladies beside Madam Han: "I was rude, I should come here earlier to greet the ladies."

  Her husband has a low official position, and everyone here has a higher status than her. If it weren't for Yun Zhao, how could she be standing here?

  So the eldest lady is naturally making a full gesture at this time, not to provoke criticism to Yun Zhao.

   Mrs. Han is Han Jinyi's mother. Her daughter was taken care of by Song Yunzhao in the palace. During this palace banquet, her daughter sent her a letter asking her to take care of Mrs. Song more.

  How could she not agree, it was for the safety of her daughter in the palace, and for the convenience of the Han family, not to mention that she had met Mrs. Song before and had a very good impression of her, so today she will support her a little bit.

   "This is Madam Lu, this is Madam Feng." Madam Han introduced with a smile.

   Mrs. Lu is Lu Zhixue's mother, and Mrs. Feng is Feng Yunjin's mother.

   Mrs. Lu has a gentle appearance, and when she looks at people with soft and soothing eyes, she will make people feel very happy. "When your son was in high school, I wanted to come to visit to be happy. For some reason, I have been deeply regretting that I couldn't make it. Today, seeing Mrs. Song, I finally understand why your son is so outstanding."

  The eldest lady thought to herself that Mrs. Lu is so talkative, how could Concubine Lu have such a temperament, the mother and daughter are very different, "Madam praises me, I really dare not take it."

   Mrs. Feng said from the side after hearing the words: "How can it be regarded as absurd praise? This is the truth. Tanhualang can't just pass the exam."

  The eldest lady smiled when she heard the words, and then turned around and praised the children of several families. When talking about the younger generation in each house, the relationship between them became harmonious.

   Madam Han watched from the sidelines, no wonder Song Jieyu has a very good relationship with this Mrs. Song, she is indeed a formidable person.

   On the other side, Mrs. Qin looked at the bustle and bustle here, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little displeased. It was because of Song Jieyu that her daughter was struggling in the palace.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin looked at the eldest lady and asked indifferently: "Mrs. Song, why don't you see the third lady of your house?"

   Mrs. Qin's voice was not low, and the people around her looked over instantly, with all kinds of eyes falling on Mrs. Qin. It just so happened that Mrs. Ding Nanbo stepped into the hall at this time and heard these words in her ears.

   She looked at Da Furen with sarcasm in her eyes, but she wanted to hear how Da Furen's mouth could tell.

  The eldest lady thought that Yun Zhao told her that she must publicize her relationship with the Cai family, and that she would not be able to take the initiative to say so unless others came to ask.

   "Who is this lady?" Mrs. Song really didn't know the person in front of her. Seeing that she was much older than her, it was hard to think about the angle of her mouth if she didn't know the origin of the other party.

   Mrs. Han was so angry, isn't Mrs. Qin deliberately looking for trouble? Knowing that Song Jieyu didn't have a good relationship with her biological mother, why did she ask her in a human face?

  But at this time, you have to suppress your anger and say to the eldest lady: "Mrs. Song, this is Mrs. Qin Taifu."

   It turned out to be the enemy!

  The eldest lady had a clue in her mind, and immediately said: "My wife's eyesight is poor, so please don't be offended if I didn't recognize my wife. Madam asked why my third younger brother and sister didn't attend the banquet. It's difficult for me to answer your question. After all, the list of palace banquets is issued by imperial decree."

  If you have the ability, you go to question the emperor, come here to block me because you think I'm easy to bully?

  After hearing Da Furen's words, Mrs. Qin thought that this is a smart-mouthed person. No wonder the Song family can raise a person like Song Jieyu. She looked at Da Furen with deep eyes, "Mrs. Song can talk, but I'm just curious. After all, all the concubines' birth mothers are attending the banquet today. It's the first time I see my aunt attending the banquet, so it's inevitable that I'm a little curious."

  The eldest lady laughed immediately after hearing the words: "I heard that Qin Taifu is knowledgeable and full of economics. I also heard that the Taifu has traveled more than half of the country on foot. The minister's wife also admires Madam's act of following the Taifu. This little thing can surprise you, and it really surprises the minister's wife."

   Mrs. Han almost didn't laugh, she pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her lips. This lady is very interesting, she really doesn't use dirty words when swearing.

   Mrs. Lu took a step forward when she saw it, and smiled at Mrs. Qin: "I haven't seen Mrs. Qin for a long time. I heard that you caught a cold a few days ago. You should look better today. I wanted to visit but I was afraid that I would disturb your wife's recuperation. Seeing Mrs. Kangtai makes you feel at ease."

  After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, Mrs. Lu remembered that she had told herself why, and now she was afraid of Mrs. Qin. This Mrs. Lu really knows how to behave.

   Now Mrs. Lu was obviously trying to smooth things over for herself and diverted the topic, and she didn't know what was good and bad, so she simply shut up.

  Madam Qin over there didn't expect Da Furen to be so ungrateful, she opened her mouth with sarcasm, after all, it was a bad palace banquet, so she talked with Madam Lu in a suppressed tone.

  Here, Mrs. Feng saw that the eldest lady's face was not very good, and said softly: "You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the list is made by His Majesty, and others dare not comment on it even if they have something to say."

   There are very few people who intentionally expose scars like Madam Qin. In the past, Madam Qin always spoke properly and acted properly, but she did not expect to be so reckless today.

  The eldest lady sighed softly when she heard the words, "It's not easy to bring up family matters outside, but Jieyu and my third sibling do lose a bit of mother-daughter relationship..."

  When the eldest lady sighed, the ladies who listened with pricked ears moved a few steps to this side, and someone asked, "Madam, there seems to be something hard to say?"

  The eldest lady glanced at the person who asked the question, she was really good at communicating, she shook her head helplessly, "There are thousands of fates between mothers and daughters in this world, and there is always one that is not so compatible. Speaking of which, my third sibling and Jieyu are like this..."

  The eldest lady spoke to the point, and she didn't deliberately say anything bad about Mrs. Cai, no matter how bad she was, she was Yun Zhao's biological mother. If her character is flawed, does Jieyu have a good-looking face?

  Besides, the third younger brother is an official in Beijing, and the daughter-in-law he married has a problematic character. As a husband, doesn't he have the negligence of teaching his wife?

  Teaching the son in front of the public, teaching the wife by the pillow, the third master has to bear part of Cai's fault.

  After thinking about it, we can neither make everyone feel unfilial to Yun Zhao, nor let Cai's reputation be greatly damaged. It can only be said that they have no mother-daughter fate.

   People will feel that Song Yunzhao has suffered a lot of grievances, and Cai's handling of things is inappropriate, but he is not a generation of poor morals, but just too biased among his children.

   Mrs. Ding Nanbo, who had been waiting to see Da Furen's jokes, looked at Da Furen in surprise at this time. She really didn't expect Da Furen to describe her younger sister at this time. It was more than an accident, it was shocking.

  The eldest lady is so thoughtful and thoughtful in her words and deeds, it may be even more difficult to ease the relationship with her in the future. Mrs. Ding Nanbo thinks about this matter and wants to save her, but she has to start with her sister.

  Since Da Furen and Yun Zhao have left a way out, it means that there is still room for this matter. Thinking of this, Madam Ding Nanbo stepped forward to help Da Furen speak, and her words were also biased towards Da Madam, subtly showing Cai's eccentric behavior.

  However, Song Jieyu was so eccentric that she didn't want to see her biological mother at the palace banquet. The contradictions here are so deep that everyone can only think for themselves.

   "Concubine Shu is here!"

   "Concubine Zhuang is here!"

   "Concubine Wan is here!"

  Following the announcement from the palace staff, the chatter and laughter in the hall immediately stopped, and everyone tidied up their clothes and came forward to salute.

  The third concubine was in front, Song Yunzhao and others then entered the hall, and the earth dragon was burning in the Tsinghua Hall, warming it up, dispelling the chill from her body, and walking forward to her place.

   "The concubine pays respects to Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan."

   "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, please take your seats." Concubine Shu said with a smile on her face.

   In the past, the third concubine was also Concubine Shu who was the leader in everything. Later, her title was abolished and she was at the bottom of the three concubines. But she was lucky enough to restore her title before the New Year's banquet. Naturally, she did her part to sit in the leading position again.

  As for what Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan think, Concubine Shu doesn't care.

  After everyone was seated, Song Yunzhao didn't look at them, but could already feel that many people's eyes were on her.

  Understandable, after all, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, who wouldn't want to take a look at what she looks like, and be able to fascinate the emperor like this.

  She sat there as stable as Mount Tai, without any waves in her expression, and looked very calm.

   Coupled with the makeup and fancy clothes she specially selected today, many wives will feel that Song Jieyu's appearance is very different from what they imagined after seeing it.

  I thought she was an arrogant and domineering little fairy, but it turned out not to be. Although Song Jieyu looked brighter, she had a very decent demeanor, which was by no means comparable to those enchanting women who couldn't be seductive and serve others.

  If Song Yunzhao knew what everyone was thinking, he might throw the table on the spot.

  She is a good girl from a good family, how did she become those enchanting things?

   Today’s update is here, my little cuties.
