Chapter 177: Kaifu

For Chu Xinrou's words, Queen Chu was a little unimpressed, but she understood that this child was still unconvinced, in order to let Chu Xinrou calm down in the coming days, her tone was slightly disdainful: "What's so good to see?" It's just a yellow-haired girl who has never seen the world, she can have a good face in the sky, and she has a father who is appreciated by the emperor, which makes her pick up this big bargain. ”

"No, aunt! People just want to see her, but at the Spring Festival banquet that day, Rou'er didn't see her clearly! I want to see if she's beautiful, or if I'm ......" Since knowing the prince's brother's marriage partner, Song Rumu has become a knot in Chu Xinrou's heart, strangling her life is worse than death, and she can't wait to remove it with scissors.

How beautiful she was back then, how unwilling she is now, she is unwilling to give up her beloved prince brother to her.

Empress Chu felt deeply guilty, she was supposed to be high up Rou'er, but now she could only wait for the opportunity in this manna hall and watch others glorify. The guilty Empress Chu said solemnly to Chu Xinrou: "You have to remember, you are the eldest lady of the Chu family, you are the niece of your aunt, and you are the lord of Xincheng County, what is her identity as Song Rumu?" It's just a wild girl in the country."

"Auntie...... I know...... But I'm not the same ...... I used to be" Chu Xinrou was so irritable for a moment, she always didn't understand why her aunt refused to face the reality, the Chu family was finished, and the identities of their aunt and nephew had long been worthless.

"Shut up for me...... the queen yelled at Chu Xinrou in shame, but the next moment she immediately regretted it. hugged the stunned Chu Xinrou into his arms, rubbed Chu Xinrou's forehead with his face, and said gently: "Rou'er, my aunt doesn't allow you to talk about yourself like this, you have to remember that you have always been the most noble child of the Emperor's Heavenly Dynasty, and in the future, you will be like your aunt, the mother of the world!" ”

Chu Xinrou was a little speechless, her eyes flashed back and forth. Why is Aunt Secret Dao not as good as herself? Even she can see things clearly, why doesn't my aunt refuse to admit it?

It's just that I still have to rely on my aunt to live, but I can't twist with her. Chu Xinrou thought of Mrs. Chu when she was leaving. told her that she must follow her aunt's words more in the future, and began to secretly admonish herself, she propped herself up and smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "Auntie's words, Rou'er will always keep them in mind." ”

"Rou'er is so good, na...... If you really want to see the Song girl, it's not impossible. Mrs. Yueqinghou died young. The Song family entered Beijing this time to open the mansion, and if they thought that they would not come for two days, Song Rumu would hand over the fold into the palace to thank him, and when the time came, he would ...... "In order to comfort such a well-behaved and lovely Chu Xinrou, Queen Chu couldn't bear to let her feel so aggrieved in her heart, so she swore and said.

Hearing this good news, Chu Xinrou smiled even sweeter, she had to prepare well.

Yueqing Houfu, although Huangfu Tianyou has made careful arrangements, what servants and cooks have been prepared. But the Song family is an authentic Mocheng person, especially the old lady and the old lady, let them eat Beijing food for two days, and if they eat every day, they will die! As a result, the original chef of Yueqing Houfu was replaced by the chef brought from Mocheng. However, Song Rumu didn't return the person, there is always a banquet in the huge Yueqing Houfu, just take the warm house banquet a few days later, if you really don't have a good cook, wouldn't you hate less when you cook it?

There are also a number of salutes brought from his hometown in Mocheng. It also needs to be placed neatly, fortunately, I only brought all kinds of soft at that time, and did not bring large pieces of furniture or anything, or I had to work hard to bring it. It's also all kinds of waste.

Song Rumu carefully calculated the expenses of the Yueqing Houfu, and then carefully divided the gold, silver, cloth and other things rewarded by the imperial court, as well as the things obtained from the separation of the three rooms, into the warehouse. Song Nianzhi, who became the Xie Yuan of Qingzhou in one fell swoop in August, took on the matter of the meritorious Tian that the imperial court rewarded to Yueqing.

The eldest lady has the heart to help and see how much money the third room has. But now that the three brothers are separated, she can't take the initiative to meddle in the affairs of the third room, so as not to be thankless in the end, so under the guise of filial piety, she went to the old lady's side to inquire about one or two.

For the eldest lady's careful thoughts, the old lady knew but did not hide it, after all, Song Rumu's black income was not included in the Hou Mansion, and the old lady felt that the property of the third room was just like that.

The eldest lady who thinks she knows all the roots of the three rooms is no longer curious, and the third uncle's room can be regarded as poor, the third uncle has been an official for so many years, and now in addition to the division of the family, there is only the reward of this marquis! Unlike her, the housekeeper has been a housekeeper for so many years, and the money and things in his hands are unknown. It's no wonder that Mu Yatou is so calculating, and she closed the entire West Road of the Hou Mansion in one go.

She didn't know that the reason why Song Rumu made people seal Houfu West Road was because the entire Yueqing Houfu was divided into three roads, east and west, plus a back garden with a landscape that could be enjoyed in all seasons. Song Han lives alone on the middle road, and the old lady and the old lady live on the east road, if she and Song Nianzhi live on the west road, it will be a troublesome thing to set the province every day, so she and Song Nianzhi simply live on the east road, so that the west road of the entire Hou Mansion is completely idle.

Besides, the three-room population of the Song family is withering, even if each person gets a large courtyard, even Song Junxiang is counted, and it only occupies five or six courtyards on Houfu Middle Road and East Road, and the remaining seven or eight courtyards, I don't know who to live in.

Song Rumu discussed with Song Han, and they didn't completely seal those yards, they just distributed those courtyards to the children brought from their hometown in Mocheng, and let each family take care of a courtyard. It is stipulated that the landscape of the house should be taken care of properly and there should be no injury, and the rest of the place, whether it is planting vegetables and flowers or raising fish, is up to them, and it can be regarded as an additional reward for the children of the family who have worked hard with them to enter Beijing.

In this way, Yueqing Houfu not only spends every year, but also saves a lot of money, and also attracts the newcomers and old people in the house to be more loyal.

And the most worrying thing is the back garden, although it is pleasant to visit, but the entire back garden covers an area of more than ten acres, not to mention how to clean up every day, just to say the maintenance and replacement of flowers and trees throughout the year, it is an amazing expense.

Song Rumu held the account book made by Huangfu Tianyou in his hand, thinking about the various incomes and expenses of Yueqing Houfu in the future, and weighed it for a long time, so he sealed the East Road. The back garden is personally organized by the big housekeeper Song Xiaosi, first deepen the pond inside, put in all kinds of fish, shrimp and crab seedlings, turtle king eight also put a lot, and then drive a pile to circle the lotus in the pond, so as not to become a paradise of lotus in the future. Fish and shrimp are difficult to survive.

Not to mention this method for the family, it is a good idea to establish the ecological balance of the entire pond in the first place. And in the future, guests will come to the house, whether it is to enjoy the scenery and fish. There's a different kind of wild fun in it.

Song Rumu took care of the house with all her heart, and at the same time received visitors from all walks of life with the old lady.

The first person to rush to Yueqing Houfu to visit was Song Ruixi, who had married to the eldest princess's mansion, and when the family saw Song Ruixi who came in gorgeous clothes with a smile on his face, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Especially seeing Xu Chaohui's courtesy and pettiness towards Song Ruixi, the family couldn't be more satisfied.

When the eldest son was reluctant to follow Song Han to the outer courtyard, and followed the eldest princess who came to visit together, he told the old lady that Song Ruixi had a happy thing, because of the moon, so the princess's mansion did not notify the Song family.

The old lady happily recites the Buddha, and originally took this granddaughter to pave the way for her son, but the son resigned and returned to his hometown.

It wasn't just the old lady who was happy. The eldest princess was also very happy, her heirs were difficult, she saw that Song Ruixi was a good child, but I didn't expect it to be true, how long has it been since she got married, and there was a good news.

Since you have arrived in Beijing, you must enter the palace to thank you.

Song Han went to the thank you fold the next day, and as for Song Rumu, she got the guidance of the eldest princess, saying that she was still Yunying unmarried after all. Although she is the royal daughter-in-law, there is an old lady, and it is not Song Rumu's turn to enter the palace to thank her.

The emperor received Song Han's excerpt, and immediately ordered someone to announce it. also left Song Han for a banquet in the palace.

The Song family in Mocheng felt the grace of the monarch and resolutely paid grain to the imperial court, and now the army has come to the good news one after another, among which the Song family has made great contributions.

The moment Song Han stepped out of the palace gate, he still had an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart, and the emperor's body was now very good. There is no need to go to the hot spring palace to recuperate at every turn, and in the case of the fall of the Chu family, no one can stop the emperor's pace, that is to say, the time has come to implement the new tax system.

If the new tax system can really be implemented, in a few years, it may not take a few years, and the national strength of the Celestial Empire will not be strong, and the prestige of the four seas will be just around the corner.

This is not only the right place for the monarch and the minister, but also the first time the new in-laws meet, which is really a good meeting.

The queen over there got the Song family's thanksgiving fold, only to remember that there was an old lady in the Song family, and her heart was blocked so uncomfortable that she couldn't wait to find someone to be a punching bag immediately.

Chu Xinrou, who was full of expectations, failed in a plan, didn't see the hateful little goblin of the Song family, only saw her gray-haired grandmother who walked and needed someone to support her, what was the use?

Seeing the old lady trembling and giving a big salute to Queen Chu, Chu Xinrou's complaint in her heart went straight to the nine days, which shows that Queen Chu's words don't count.

In the end, he was young, and no one persuaded him, so he immediately "hummed", stomped his feet and ran away.

Queen Chu, who wanted to chase after her, had no choice but to let the female officials around her chase her out, and she cheered up and asked Mrs. Song: "Why didn't the third girl accompany the old lady into the palace, and the palace originally wanted to see her daughter-in-law." ”

"The queen mother, forgive me, Rumu originally wanted to come to greet you, but her father didn't let her come, saying that since the family matter has been decided, it would be bad if she met His Royal Highness in the palace! You also know that my son is old-fashioned......" The old lady replied respectfully after thinking about it in her heart, and the old lady did not take the rude behavior of the county lord of Xincheng to heart. It was rare for her to enter the palace, and the eldest princess said that the county lord of Xincheng was the heart and soul of the queen, and no one could move or say, so she would see more and say less.

Empress Chu nodded to show her understanding, after all, Song Han's incomprehension is well known in Beijing, and it is very possible to stick to the ancient rites. Besides, this custom of not seeing each other after getting engaged, but the entire Huangfu Heavenly Dynasty knows it, and it is right for people to think so, so they said with an understanding expression on their faces: "It's the palace that is negligent!" "Don't worry, the days are long, see how long you can hide.

"Niangniang is magnanimous, she doesn't care about my son, and the old man is here to thank him for his grace. As for the child Rumu, although people can't come, she will copy a book of scriptures every day, and sincerely serve it in front of the Bodhisattva, praying for the emperor and her mother", the old lady said slowly, and said all the words taught by the eldest princess before she came.

Queen Chu was slightly benefited by this in her heart, and in the end she remembered Chu Xinrou in her heart, so she said directly to the old lady: "This is very good, I want to come to the Song family and just entered the capital, and there are many things in the family, so the palace will not leave the old man." ”

The old lady is a lot old, how many years have she not kowtowed to anyone, this is good, kowtow several! After being led out of the Manna Palace, the old lady said in her heart that no matter how good this palace was, she would not want to come in the future.

In the next few days, the Song family officially opened the mansion and sent invitations to several familiar families, as for the day of the banquet, those who were automatically sent to the door, the Song family did not refuse, they were all welcome.

Everyone wondered, what's wrong with Song Mansion?

Where is the legendary high coldness! (To be continued.) )
