XII. Conspiracy
At that time, the Li family had no one to serve as officials in the court, and they saw that they were about to become commoners within three generations. But the old lady did not hesitate and settled on the Li family under pressure.
Later, the Huai'an Hou family who had the princess of Jin'an was exterminated, and the family of the Marquis of Jinbei, who was still the princess of Xuzhou, was exiled and copied from the family, and the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty were in panic all day, thinking that the emperor's daughter would be able to protect the shield of many nobles and nobles were raided and exterminated - under absolute power, no matter how noble the princess was, it was useless.
Chang Ningbo is really far-sighted.
Li didn't dare to use Li's identity to make a raft again, so he turned his head to discuss Song Yan's problem with Yu's mother.
For lunch, Song Chuyi was used in Mrs. Song's room, and Mrs. Song asked the small kitchen to stew a cup of black chicken soup, which added Codonopsis, Angelica dahurica, and wolfberry, and the flavor of Chinese medicine mixed with the umami of the soup came to the face.
"You're not in good health, you should take a good supplement." Mama Huang smiled and filled a bowl of soup with a jasper cup for Song Chuyi: "This black chicken is still a New Year's gift sent by Zhuangzi, and this year it has suffered from a bad plague, and there are only about 20 in total, and there are only three left after they are distributed to each room in the clan." The old lady called two to go to the big kitchen to prepare for the second master to come back, but the one left behind is waiting for you. ”
The old lady glared at her: "You talk a lot." On the other hand, he urged Song Chuyi to finish the soup.
Song Chuyi seemed to have something in his throat, coughed several times before holding back his chokes, and thanked him in a clear voice.
The little granddaughter lowered her head and said nothing, holding the jasper cup and drinking the soup one by one, but the old lady saw the tears in her eyes rolling down the jasper cup.
After eating, the eldest lady came to talk about the evening reception.
"I was originally going to do a big thing, but the British princess happened to come in time, but today is already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and the third brother will come back in three or five days, and the daughter-in-law thinks that it is better to simply stay until the day of the new year and then do a big one, and it will be lively when everyone is together. Let's have a meal at home today."
This is right, Mrs. Song nodded, and asked her coldly: "I heard that you have a very strong attack today?" ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she readily recognized: "Although our family has always been kind to the people under it, it is difficult to ensure that they have thoughts that they shouldn't have and don't take their master's words seriously." Since last month, I have heard that the mothers-in-law on the second door now have the habit of gambling and eating wine at night, and there are a few sets of white porcelain bowls and bowls in the kitchen. It's better to take this opportunity to knock on the people in the house, which also means that they should be on an errand. ”
Old Mrs. Song nodded: "If we are a big family, I'm afraid that the roots under it will be rotten." How many disasters have started at home? Cheng Guogong, the pioneer," she said this, and coughed: "You have done a good job in this matter, so let's do it, get rid of their silver and rice for two months, and all of them will be transferred to the outer courtyard to work." ”
There is no good errand in the outer courtyard, and the rough washers who wash the clothes of the long-term workers are there on errands. The eldest lady felt that she was very much in line with her own mind, and she didn't have to be this bad person, so she nodded with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
He also said: "The British princess has come to discuss with you about going to the banquet at the Zhongyi General's Mansion, do you have a charter?" ”
Hearing this, Song Chuyi quickly raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady.
General Zhongyi's Mansion! Su Zhaohe!
The ancestor of the Su family was also a loyal and righteous marquis who was personally named by Taizu, and the Su family relied on neither military merits nor relatives of Jiaofang, all because Su Xin, the old lady of the Su family, gave Taizu an old mansion to live in when Taizu was down
Taizu was grateful for this kindness, and when the world decided to reward him according to his merits, he did not forget the Su family, and specially named Su Xin as a loyal and righteous marquis. The Su family has developed all the way to the present, and after the hereditary reduction, it has reached the position of the current loyal general.
If the Su family can no longer have talents, it will soon disappear from the world.
The old lady thought for a moment: "When did she say the date was set?" ”
"The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month." The eldest lady replied with a smile: "I heard that the princess of Zhennan will also go that day." ”
These things didn't need to be avoided by juniors, so Song Chuyi listened to them in a dignified manner.
There are often banquets of various names between the nobles of the family, in order to win friendship or ask for help, and more importantly, they can take this opportunity to meet the right boys and girls to prepare for the marriage of the children in the family.
But there are not many banquets for the old lady of Song, she is extremely high-grade, and she is one of the only three super-grade orders left today, which is extremely expensive, and the princess and county lord who are waiting for the idle princess to see these old feudal lords will also give a little face shorter.
Song Chuyi was a little confused, if she remembered correctly, there was also a party on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month in the previous life, but it was not in the Zhongyi General's Mansion, it was in the Zhennan Palace
"Since the princess is also going, then let's go with us." Mrs. Song nodded and made a decision: "Take Sister Mi and Sister Bin together." ”
Miss Song Fourth and Miss Song Fifth are fourteen and thirteen, and it's time to say goodbye.
"Yes, the daughter-in-law will send someone to communicate with the British princess." The eldest lady got up and said, "Today's banquet is in the roll shed?" It just so happened that the daffodils were all blooming, and a roll of sheds was set up full, which was just in time for the scene. ”
The old lady has always liked elegance, and when she heard this, she smiled: "It's a good place to go, but you can figure it out." It's set there, but there is one thing, I don't like it to be too warm, don't put the warm basin too much, it won't be breathable. ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped for a while, discussing that they would also hold a banquet after the New Year, which was also the meaning of courtesy.
Song Chuyi was going to meet his father and younger brother, so he took advantage of this time to quit.
Mother Xu has been waiting for a long time, and when she came back, she hurriedly pulled her and told her a lot of auspicious words, telling her to say it when Song Yi came back.
After a pause, Mother Xu said a little strangely: "It's strange today, the second wife actually quarreled with the eldest lady, and I don't know if this person took the wrong medicine." ”
Song Chuyi pursed her lips and smiled.
Qingtao glanced at Song Chuyi deeply.
She had already heard about Huang Yao's punishment for trespassing in the bedroom last night.
Isn't this a bit of a coincidence?
seems to have calculated the eldest lady's temperament, the eldest lady loves her son like her life, and she will inevitably be frightened and unhappy after knowing that her son is going to Qingzhou - this eldest lady is not from a high-ranking family, and many things will inevitably be brought out, such as cutting off Lin Hai, who originally planned to pick up the second master
The Li family can't stand being snubbed by Song Yi the most, and he will inevitably complain about Song Yi
The second wife and the eldest lady are on the bar, and many things are not so easy to do.
