Chapter 97 098: How can there be such a recalcitrant person

  Song Yunzhao received a letter from Xie Linlang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was brought to her by the eldest lady entering the palace.

  The eldest lady looked at Song Yunzhao and said: "The wedding date has been set, the sixth day of September, and the third brother will return to Beijing by then."

  Song Yunzhao sneered when he heard the words, "The wedding date is set so urgently, how much does Song Qinghan hate getting married?"

   Hate to marry?

  The eldest lady felt that this word was good, so she said: "We can't stop her affairs, so let her go. I have told her about the affairs of Marquis Wuxin's mansion carefully. Since she insists on jumping into it, she will have to bear it in the future."

  Song Yunzhao didn't care about Song Qinghan's life, knowing that this matter had been completely settled, he didn't care. He turned around and asked the old man, "How is uncle in office now?"

  The eldest lady smiled and said: "After Li Rong is married, your uncle will have a helper. Even if you are in the palace, the officials in Yucheng will not dare to make things difficult as before. When the three-year term is up, your uncle will move."

  Song Yunzhao knew that his uncle had an idea in mind, looked at his wife and said, "Auntie, now our family wants to reappear the glory of our ancestors, no matter whether it is my father or uncle who is an official, we must not be caught. Our family has a second uncle and is not short of money."

   Speaking of this, Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and said, "I have a good relationship with Miss Xie, as you know, the Xie family must take care of the second uncle's business. Besides, the second aunt is the daughter of the Xie family. It is enough for our family to have income and expenses. When father and uncle get a firm foothold in the future, naturally there is no need to worry."

  The eldest lady’s heart froze. Although Yun Zhao couldn’t explain clearly, she could understand one thing. The fact that the Xie family took care of the second child was definitely not just because the second child came from the Xie family.

  But Yun Zhao didn't elaborate, and the eldest lady didn't dare to ask, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will tell my family. I will also write to your second uncle and second aunt to give some advice."

  Song Yunzhao smiled, "With you here, I will feel at ease at home. As long as the Song family is safe and not being held accountable, I will be safe in the palace."

  The eldest lady hurriedly said yes, and after thinking about it, she said: "I also plan to settle Hongjiao's marriage. She is an older sister. Only when she settles, can Ye Xi talk about marriage." After a while, "Do you have any plans for Jinxuan? If not, her marriage may not be easy."

   After all, it is in Cai's hands.

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, "The second sister's marriage will be discussed after my father comes back. Now my wife is preparing to marry Song Qinghan and I can't take care of her. For sister Hongjiao's marriage, which one did you show to my aunt?"

  Knowing that Song Yunzhao had plans, she was relieved. Hearing her question, the eldest lady sighed helplessly, "Nowadays our family has become a hot spot because of you, and there are many people who come to talk about marriage. Not only your sisters, but also your elder brothers are being watched. Fortunately, I have already released the word. The men in the family will not marry if they fail the exam."

  Song Yunzhao was amused all of a sudden, "What's the matter, if you keep failing the exam, will you really not marry a wife?"

  Even she knew that it was very difficult to be a Jinshi in ancient times.

   "Your uncle really said so. Now the family has invited several gentlemen to teach them to read. If they still fail the exam, it means that they have no intentions." Speaking of this, the eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao, "Now Yanyue is also studying with you. After all, he is the eldest son of your family. For the sake of the third brother, it is not easy to leave him alone."

  Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Are the newly invited gentlemen quite powerful?"

   "Third brother discussed this matter with your uncle. Your uncle asked around in Yucheng and visited him several times in person to invite him. It took a lot of effort." The eldest lady said with a smile, "It's nothing to spend all this time for the children's future. I just hope that they can study hard."

  Song Yunzhao is very satisfied with the adjustment made by his uncle and father. Only a far-sighted family will make such an arrangement.

  It is not that simple to hire a famous teacher. Some famous teachers are willing to go out to teach, but also depends on the family background of the students. Not only is Shu Xiu high, but the most important thing is that the students are low-born and knowledgeable. If they really can’t teach, they will ruin their reputation.

  The world situation is like this, although it is somewhat realistic, Song Yunzhao can understand it.

  Since the gentleman invited is so good, Cai will of course let Song Yanyue study with him. She has no objection to this, so she looked at the eldest lady and said, "I am not dissatisfied with Song Yanyue's study with him. Although my brother and I have not had much affection for each other, he has never bullied me. At most, he just doesn't help me. How can I ruin his future?"

  The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Yun Zhao was not that kind of person, so she talked about the candidate for Song Hongjiao, "Your uncle is looking for him, he is a juren, well educated, and willing to study hard. His father is a scholar, he opened a private school to teach in a private school after he failed the exam several times and was disheartened by the center, and the three brothers ranked second."

  Song Yunzhao was a little surprised, "I thought uncle would choose a marriage for sister Hongjiao in the capital."

  The eldest lady sighed, "That's what I originally planned. I thought about getting married in Beijing, and I will have an arm in the future."

  Song Yunzhao nodded, not because she was boasting, she is now the emperor's favorite concubine, and her father and uncle's official reputation in office has always been good, except that she has a bad relationship with Song Qinghan's mother and daughter, there are basically no major flaws.

  In this case, there should not be a small number of people who want to marry their family. If they choose carefully, it is not difficult to arrange a Beijing-China marriage for Song Hongjiao.

  However, now it sounds like there should be another reason.

   "Then why did uncle change his mind?"

   "Hongjiao is a concubine daughter. Even if Jieyu is favored in the palace, the people who come to propose marriage are either concubine sons or those with a bad reputation. We are not picky about concubine sons, but there are not many who are well-educated. Even if there are a few who are not bad, but there are many brothers and sisters in the family. People who have a lot of quarrels, I can't send Hongjiao to suffer."

  Song Yunzhao nodded slightly. The eldest lady has always treated concubine daughters well. To be so considerate for them, as a aunt, she is already quite compassionate.

   "The eldest aunt has always been kind-hearted, and the concubine sisters in the mansion are lucky to meet you."

  The eldest lady laughed immediately after being praised by Song Yunzhao, "I nodded and entered the door for their biological mothers. After entering the door, they are considered safe. I personally watched and raised a few children. As a mother and daughter, I can't say I treat them as my own, but I can't hurt them. Besides, they have found a good marriage, and they will be the arms of the brothers and sisters in the family."

  Song Yunzhao was taught, anyway, she can't be as broad-minded as the eldest lady, and because she can't do it herself, she admires the eldest lady when she looks at it.

  Thinking about it for so many years, although my uncle has a concubine, he has always treated his aunt with respect, and it is precisely because of this that my uncle will plan everything for my uncle and treat my concubine children kindly.

   Looking at their third wife, they are completely extreme. Cai's temperament is narrow and selfish, and his father has a similar relationship with her and favors Aunt Che, so the house is restless. Not to mention the concubine, even she, the pro-daughter, is hated by Cai. It is a dream to want a harmonious family.

   Mrs. Cai has an independent personality, and Aunt Che is not a good person. Mrs. Cai does not have the means of a big lady to suppress concubines.

  So, she didn't object to Song Yanyue's study, but she also thought that he would have a bright future, and that he and Song Haoming could check each other in the future.

  Aunt Che checks and balances Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai is tied down by the affairs of the inner house, so she has no time to think about making her unhappy.

  The Cai family can't change it. Aunt Che has ambitions. The best way is to let them fight like this, so that Song Yunzhao can get some peace.

   "Sister Hongjiao's marriage is settled like this?" Song Yunzhao asked.

  The eldest lady shook her head, "I haven't discussed marriage yet, just wait for news from your uncle. However, I think it should be possible. It's not easy for you in the palace now, and the family can't hold you back. Hongjiao chooses a husband who is not greedy for power. The better the reputation of our scholarly family, the better for you. In addition, the child is indeed good. Although the family background is a bit low, but as long as he is capable, Hongjiao will be able to survive in ten or eight years."

  Song Yunzhao was silent for a while, "When Sister Hongjiao gets married, I will also add makeup to her."

  The eldest lady laughed, "That's natural, Hongjiao must be happy. It's not easy for a high family to marry. If they are really greedy for wealth and honor and send them to a high school as concubines or as daughters-in-law for concubine sons, then life will be difficult in the future."

   "Someone wants sister Hongjiao to be a concubine?" Song Yunzhao frowned.

  The eldest lady sneered, "It's a good idea, why would our girl be someone's concubine?"

   That’s because it really happened, and Song Yunzhao’s expression was not good, “Auntie did the right thing. Marrying a Juren may make you poorer at first, but life will get better and better in the future.”

  Being a regular wife is someone who can hold her head up high, but being a concubine can't hold her head up all her life.

  Whether it’s Song Lirong or Song Hongjiao, as a concubine, I definitely don’t want my child to be a concubine.

   "Don't talk about that, I have some good news for you." The eldest lady smiled.

   "What good news?" Song Yunzhao asked curiously.

   "Your brother-in-law in the lobby will arrive in Beijing soon to prepare for Qiu Wei, and your sister-in-law will also bring her children along with her."

   "Really? This is really good news." Song Yunzhao is very happy. Song Guiyi has been married for many years, and their cousins ​​haven't seen each other for many years. Moreover, in Song Yunzhao's heart, Song Guiyi is simply a copy of the eldest lady. He is a gentle person with rules and regulations.

  Before they got married, Song Yunzhao and her didn't move around much, but the elder sister always gave her a copy of something delicious and fun when she saw that Mrs. Cai was treating her badly.

   "It's true, I have seen her once since she got married, and this time I can finally see her again." How could the eldest lady be unhappy.

   "After the eldest sister arrives in Beijing, the eldest aunt will bring her into the palace, so that I can meet with the eldest sister."

  The eldest lady agreed, and got up to leave after seeing that there was nothing else to do.

   Song Yunzhao sent someone out, but the eldest lady refused to let her stay, so she had to let Nanny Yu take the eldest lady out of the palace on her behalf.

  After the eldest lady left, Song Yunzhao took out Xie Linlang's letter to read. In just a few days, the theater troupe has been very prosperous. As soon as "The Story of the West Chamber" was staged, ladies and ladies in the capital went to watch it.

  The "Romance of the West Chamber" of later generations includes Peking Opera, Yue Opera, and other operas, with different singing styles and different audiences. Peking opera has a grand singing style, and Yue opera is graceful and beautiful, and she likes both of them.

  But in this time and space, there is no Beijing opera or Yue opera. It is a local singing style, and she has heard it before and it is not bad.

  However, she herself doesn't know either Beijing opera or Yue opera, so she doesn't dare to direct or arrange new operas. Anyway, she only writes books, and Xie Jinshu manages the troupe well. With his ability, it will only get bigger and bigger.

  Song Yunzhao has no plans to write a new play for the time being. He still has to wait until "Romance of the West Chamber" has completely established the troupe's reputation and the troupe can expand the number of people.

  Postponing this matter for the time being, Xie Linlang also mentioned one more thing in the letter. If someone came to her to say goodbye, her mother would come to the capital from Xuanzhou in a few days.

   Song Yunzhao smiled knowingly when he saw this. In the book, Xie Linlang made Ji Yunting a concubine, even if she was willing, but who is willing to let his wife not be a concubine, now she can choose a good marriage by herself.

   It must be that Xie Linlang knew that he had been concerned about her marriage, so he told him now, and Song Yunzhao laughed.

  Whether it's Song Guiyi's arrival in Beijing, Xie Linlang's marriage, or Song Hongjiao's marriage is a good thing, it brightens her mood.

  She has lived here for more than ten years. She knows that when a woman marries, she is really reincarnated for the second time. Those with a strong temper can still survive, but those with a weak temper will suffer more than Coptis chinensis.

  As for Song Jinxuan's marriage, Song Yunzhao was not prepared to interfere. With his father and Aunt Che watching over her, it would not be easy for Cai to sell her.

  She will just wait for Song Jinxuan to add a suitcase, and it will be enough for her to get married in a good manner.

  The most important things right now are Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiu Wei, and waiting for her father to return to Beijing.

   "Master, Feng Xiaoyuan wants to see you."

   "Feng Xiaoyuan?" Song Yunzhao looked at Yulu in surprise, "Did you say something?"

   Yulu shook her head.

   "Then what's going on in the palace recently?" Song Yunzhao looked at Yulu and asked. After Qixi Festival, the palace was very quiet. She knew that this quietness was unusual, but she didn't usually go out, Wangyou Palace was also very strict, and it was not easy for others to reach out.

  Under such circumstances, it was a bit strange for Feng Xiaoyuan to come to her.

   After all, since the incident with Lu Zhixue last time, the two of them haven't had much contact with each other.

  Yulu thought about it seriously, "I have not heard anything about Feng Xiaoyuan either."

   "Then let's invite someone in first." Although Song Yunzhao and Feng Yunjin have no relationship, this one is the think tank of the heroine in the book, and her brains are quite good. Even if they can't be friends, it's best not to be enemies.

  Song Yunzhao returned from the study to the inner hall, and Feng Yunjin arrived as soon as he sat down.

   "The concubine pays homage to Jieyu."

   "Feng Xiaoyuan, get up quickly." Song Yunzhao said with a smile, motioning for Yulu to help her up.

  Feng Yunjin thanked her before getting up, "I took the liberty to visit, and please forgive Jieyu."

  Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yunjin's plain attire, and he was indeed cautious. When he came to see her, he also paid extra attention to her attire. In fact, she was not so cautious.

  But now everyone in the palace says that she is a favorite concubine who must take revenge, that she loves to be jealous, and also likes to dress herself up. Because of that dancer, she is now the number one thorn in the harem.

   "What are you talking about? I just don't like to go out. I'm very happy that you can come. Sit down and talk." Song Yunzhao laughed.

  Feng Yunjin sat down, looked up at Song Jieyu, and saw that Song Jieyu was wearing a light yellow dress without complicated embroidery, it was clean and light, different from her in front of others.

  Xiangxue brought the dianthus to bring refreshments, then stepped back lightly.

  Feng Yunjin asked the maidservant beside her to also leave, then looked at Song Yunzhao and smiled, "I didn't intend to disturb Jieyu, but someone asked me to send a letter to Jieyu, so I had no choice but to take the liberty of coming here."

  Song Yunzhao:…

   Are you addicted to being a messenger?

   Probably because Song Yunzhao's eyes were too obvious, Feng Yunjin also smiled helplessly, "It's not someone else, it's Concubine Lu."

  Song Yunzhao is convinced!

  Feng Yunjin found that Song Jieyu was really an interesting person. The expression on her face was strangely vivid. She laughed softly, "I didn't want to agree, but Concubine Lu said that I don't want to bother the two masters. Last time I sent a letter for her. This time, I'll ask me to go."

  Song Yunzhao snorted, "If she has the heart, why doesn't she come to the door herself?"

   "Concubine Lu also knows that she has done something wrong, so it is not good to face Jieyu directly." Feng Yunjin looked helpless.

  She also didn't want to be this kind of middleman, this kind of thing was thankless, and thanks to Song Jieyu's temper, she wouldn't have dared to take this trip.

  Song Yunzhao said unceremoniously: "The last time you helped her deliver the letter, it was because the family owed the Lu family a favor and had to pay it back. What's the reason this time? Why don't you bother the two masters? I don't believe that."

  Feng Yunjin was not surprised that Song Yunzhao asked so directly. After all, Song Jieyu gave her the impression that she was a straightforward person who would settle everything on the spot and would not postpone it at all.

   "It was Concubine Lu who came to the door. She told the concubine that she was instigated by someone last time, and that's why she did something bad. She felt that she had always owed Jieyu an explanation, but she couldn't come to see Jieyu, so she asked me to bring you a sentence. It can be regarded as thanking the empress for speaking for her last time, so that she can come out early."

  Song Yunzhao's words are somewhat content, is Lu Zhixue falling out with Qin Xiyue?

  Then she didn't spend much time doing it. Today is really a good thing one after another.

   "What words?" Song Yunzhao asked.

   "Ji Yunting has made an engagement with the head of Ming'an County."

  Song Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, He Lanyun really wanted to marry Ji Yunting?

  Feng Yunjin knew that Song Yunzhao and He Lanyun had a good relationship when she was in the Spring Palace. She thought about it and said, "This matter has not been announced to the public, but I heard that there are some twists and turns in this marriage."

  Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yunjin, "Don't go around, Feng Xiaoyuan, just say what Concubine Lu means?"

  Feng Yunjin smiled, "There is no girl from Zuo Xiang's mansion in the palace. County Master Ming'an has a good relationship with Jieyu. I think Jieyu should know something about the relationship between County Master Ming'an and Young Master Ji. Now that the two are married, Concubine Lu asked me to let you be careful."

  Song Yunzhao's complexion is not very good, "Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is married to Zuo Xiangfu, what should I worry about? I just have some friendship with Ming'an County Lord, and I have nothing to do with Zuo Xiang's Mansion and Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."

   "What Jieyu said is that it's just that you think so, others may not think so."

  Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Xiaoyuan, "Since the marriage has not been made public, how did Concubine Lu know about it?"

   "Master Lu has a good relationship with Prime Minister Yao, and Prime Minister Yao is headed by the Prime Minister on the Right, so he will naturally think about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Left."

  Song Yunzhao glanced at Feng Yunjin, Lu Zhixue just asked her to say something, but she told him so thoroughly, maybe she meant to be friendly with him.

   It’s just that Song Yunzhao didn’t intend to share with the emperor. It’s their own ability to be snatched away by others. It’s absolutely impossible for her to introduce it to the emperor.

   She thought, based on this alone, she and Feng Yunjin couldn't be so-called friends.

   "I know about this." Song Yunzhao served tea to see off the guests. Since she couldn't meet other people's requirements, there was no need to have more contacts.

   Otherwise, she only accepts benefits here and does not give people sweetness, and she will turn her face sooner or later. It is better not to make a deal in the first place.

  Feng Yunjin got up to leave, and Song Yunzhao asked Xiangxue to see off her guests.

  Out of Wangyou Palace, Ai Ju followed her master, seeing the serious expression on her master's face, she couldn't help asking worriedly: "Master, did Song Jieyu make things difficult for you?"

  Feng Yunjin shook her head. She didn't expect Song Yunzhao to be so difficult to deal with. She had already shown her favor here, but she didn't answer at all. She didn't know what to do this time.

  Ai Ju heard these words and said softly: "Master, you are just delivering a message for Concubine Lu. Song Jieyu is now in the limelight in the harem, so it's fine if you don't take your anger out on you."

  Feng Yunjin knew that Ai Ju had lost her mind, so she said: "Song Jieyu treats me kindly, you don't have to think too much, go to Yihua Palace."

   It was just too kind, which made her a little irritable.

  How could there be such a recalcitrant person.

  Ai Ju didn't know what the master was worrying about, so she hurriedly led the way. Behind Wangyou Palace was Yihua Palace, and it took only half a cup of tea to arrive.

  Feng Yunjin went to see Lu Zhixue, but this time Ai Ju was not allowed to follow.

  Lu Zhixue was waiting for Feng Yunjin, saw the person coming in, and asked, "Did you bring the words?"

  Feng Yunjin nodded, "Here we are."

  Looking at Feng Yunjin's uneasy expression, Lu Zhixue thumped in her heart, "Why, Song Jieyu made things difficult for you?"

  Feng Yunjin shook her head, "That's not true. I just think that your plan probably won't work. Song Jieyu won't accept my overtures. It shows that she has no intention of joining forces with you."

  Lu Zhixue pursed her lips, her face was not very good-looking.

  Feng Yunjin looked at her like this, remembered the instructions from her family, and then said again: "I think if you really want to join forces with her, I'm afraid you have to come to the door in person to show your sincerity."

  Lu Zhixue's complexion became even worse, she remained sullen and did not speak.

  If she could bow her head easily, there would be no need to bother Feng Yunjin to walk for her.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update

   The 6,000-word update is complete, my little cuties.
