CHAPTER XIV
After dinner, Mrs. Song went to the Jian Courtyard to ask Mrs. Song for instructions to return to her parents' house tomorrow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, why do you want to go back all of a sudden?" Mrs. Song has a deep-rooted concept of a woman marrying her husband, and every time Mrs. Song wants to go back to her parents' house, she will be a little dissatisfied.
Mrs. Song had already thought of an excuse, and replied respectfully: "I mentioned to my father earlier that I wanted to find a good teacher for Jinbao to enlighten, and it happened that my mother-in-law sent a letter today, saying that the teacher's matter was eyebrow-raised, and I asked me to go over to discuss it." ”
Today, the mother-in-law of the Ji family is indeed over, Song Jinbao is three years old, it is time to be enlightened, this can be right, and the things of the baby Jinsun are all big things, and they can't be ambiguous, Mrs. Song is not embarrassed, and nodded happily and agreed.
Aunt Ruan, who had been waiting next to her, suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, the third miss hasn't been to ask her grandfather and grandmother for a long time, otherwise, let the third miss go with her, so that you can do your filial piety." ”
What kind of maternal grandfather and grandmother, Song Qiuniang is a concubine, and she has nothing to do with the Ji family. When it comes to Mrs. Song's marriage, what makes Master Ji most criticized is the existence of his aunt and concubine. Master Ji and Mrs. Ji are deeply in love, a couple for a lifetime, and naturally hope that there is no third party in the marriage of their daughter and son-in-law, but it is a pity that Mrs. Song married to the Song family for three years and did not come out, and then she has not been able to give birth to a son, so the Ji family let the aunts enter the door, but in the end, there is a mustard in their hearts, and now when it comes to letting Song Qiuniang, who is out of the concubine, go to ask for peace, isn't it suspicious?
Mrs. Song refused directly without thinking about it.
Aunt Ruan was not discouraged, and directly explained her intentions: "The third lady is about to be fourteen, and there are few people who come to propose marriage, so it is true or false to say that I am not in a hurry." The third lady is not as good as the other young ladies, she has neither talent nor beauty, instead of sitting at home and waiting for someone to come to the door to see if there is a suitable one. The old man of the Ji family is high-spirited and knowledgeable, and the students he teaches must be not bad, and it would be great if he could find the right person in it. ”
It turned out that it was such a good calculation, the students of the Ji family's private school are all from good families, and they may not be able to look down on the identity of Qiu Niang, Mrs. Song didn't want to take this hot potato, so she opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but she heard Mrs. Song's voice.
"Aunt Ruan is right. I've been worried about how to find a suitable person for Xia Niang and Qiu Niang, just thinking about looking for it outside, but I forgot that there are many candidates in my in-laws' old master's academy. Ji's, tomorrow you bring Xia Niang with you, go and have a look, if there is a suitable one, you will inquire, and if there is no suitable one, you will have the right to go and relax. ”
The corners of Mrs. Song's mouth twitched, one had not been pushed out, and another one came, this Song Xia Niang is not as good as Song Qiu Niang, she is tricky and arrogant, and she is not easy to discipline, but she is still loved by Master Song and Mrs. Song, if there is really something to explain.
Mrs. Song shirked hesitantly: "Mother, you see that I am in a hurry tomorrow, and I have to discuss the matter of Jinbao, where is the time to take care of this, or do you want to talk about it another day?" ”
Old Madam Song was not happy when she heard this, she liked to enjoy authority the most at home, and she said it the most, Mrs. Song pushed back like this, looking like she didn't put her old woman in her eyes, and her face sank directly: "It's just to help see if there is a suitable one, how much work can it cost you?" Since you are troublesome, then call Chun Niang too, she has always been a steady person, with her help, you should always rest assured, right? ”
This is a good idea, the head of this family is that Song Chunniang can control Song Xianiang a little, with her, at least Song Xianiang doesn't have to worry about herself.
So, in the evening, several young ladies of the Song family received a notice that they were going to Ji's house tomorrow.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to my grandfather's house? Tomorrow I will also make an appointment with Helian Chong to talk about the supply of fabrics. Song Chunniang hated being disrupted the plan the most, and immediately objected when she heard the news.
The person who came to inform was Master Song, and Mrs. Song was afraid that others would not move Song Chunniang, so she specially called Master Song to come over in person.
"Helian Chong's matter, I'll do the same. Your mother went to the Ji family this time, and took a few of your sisters, she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her alone, and you were the eldest in the family, so after you went, you will help your mother watch Xia Niang and them more, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Song Chunniang didn't approve of the task assigned to her, "Since you're afraid of trouble, don't take them there." ”
Master Song was surprised, his eldest daughter was too sharp, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get her to agree if he didn't explain it clearly, so he had no choice but to tell the essence of this trip.
Give Song Xia Niang, Song Qiu Niang choose a husband? Song Qiuniang is just that, as far as Song Xianiang's temperament is concerned, she doesn't think that those scholars in the private school who are weak in literature can handle it. At least half of this is pointless, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go? Moreover, Helian Chong's appointment has been set a long time ago, and this cooperation has been very smooth, compared to the boring trip to the Ji family, it is obviously more attractive to go to the appointment with Helian Chong.
"Helian Chong is there, I've been talking to him before, wouldn't it be inappropriate to suddenly change people?" Song Chunniang continued to fight.
"What's inappropriate, tomorrow is just to go to the warehouse to count the fabrics supplied, even if I don't go, Shopkeeper Zhang can do it, I will come forward, but I will give Helian Chong full face." Master Song didn't care at all, the father and daughter did business, and often one person was not free and the other was on top, it was all a family matter, and it made no difference if he changed people. "You can go to the Ji family with peace of mind, your grandfather and grandmother haven't seen you for a long time, you will be very happy to see you."
Old Master Song said everything about this, and Song Chunniang couldn't shirk it anymore, and somehow a shallow loss flashed in her heart.
When Master Song went out, Song Chunniang took out a few pieces of drawing paper, and with a few strokes on the paper, she drew a dress with the style of the Western Regions. This is the style that Helian Chong is about to launch, and it can be seen that it is a foreign dress, but the details have been changed to the usual appearance of the Central Plains, for example, the waist is sealed at the normal waist instead of under the chest, and the cuffs are changed to be smaller, but the arms are not tightened like the Western Regions tradition. In this way, it is more suitable for the living habits of the Central Plains people.
Such a fresh, beautiful and practical dress is indeed attractive.
I didn't expect Helian Chong to be a big man, designing women's dresses so handy, and painting is also very expressive, such ingenuity really doesn't match his appearance.
Song Chunniang thought back to the situation of these few contacts, and every time Helian Chong would give herself a new feeling. The first time we met, I felt that he was very bold and strong, and then told him the mode of cooperation and the proportion of sharing, I thought it would take a lot of lips and tongues to communicate well, but I didn't expect him to agree to it without any objections, and I couldn't see the previous strength at all when I was good at talking.
Later, the cooperation was even smoother, selecting fabrics, transporting, and counting, Helian Chong personally took people to handle it, did it himself, was very down-to-earth, and mingled with the people below.
This kind of leadership style is very different from the Song family, Song Chunniang looks fresh, and she also feels that it has a special charm. Unconsciously chatted with Helian Chong a few more words.
There is communication to understand, Helian Chong is really smart, and he is also in tune with Song Chunniang's thoughts, and many times many things can be understood without saying much. Chatting with him was easy and fun.
Song Chunniang enjoyed her time with him very much, and regretted that she couldn't go to the appointment the next day.
After thinking about it, Song Chunniang called Mo Lan in: "Early in the morning, you go to Yujin Yuan and tell Helian Gongzi that I am in a bit of a hurry, and I will take stock of the fabric with him the day after tomorrow." You must go early, and you must bring my words before the departure of Prince Helian. ”
Mo Lan nodded in response.
Song Chunniang felt more comfortable at this time, and used business to create an opportunity for herself to meet Helian Chong, is this considered a public for personal gain? In the past few years, she has been conscientiously taking care of the family's business, never thought that one day the power in her hands can be used like this, her heart is a little excited, as if when she was a child, her mother let herself take a few sisters to play, she was not happy, so she took her sisters to race in the garden, and after a while they were tired and wanted to go back to rest, and they could be relieved.
Dressed in the skin of a serious child, planning unknown careful thoughts, every time at this time, Song Chunniang can experience the pleasure of life, perhaps, her essence is the same as Xia Xiaoyou, she is an uninhibited and indulgent person, and she is not the same as the outside.
