Song's face was as usual, and he replied to her respectfully: "It's my sister who I knew when I was young, I haven't seen each other for many years, and I only met again today." It's a shallow relationship, so I don't dare to mention it indiscriminately. ”

"Shallow friendship?" The old lady of the long room smiled and shook her head, if it was really a shallow friendship, how could the Bai family, who never invited someone to speak alone at the Spring Banquet, make an exception, no matter how you look at it, she is making a special trip to make face for the Song family. After thinking about it for a while, she deliberately revealed the Nanzhu on her wrist, smiled more and more kindly, and said, "This string of beads you gave is excellent, I like it very much." ”

Xie Shuning listened, only to feel her eyelids jump, and subconsciously looked up.

Praise is never nonsense, especially in the mouth of the old lady of the long house.

She immediately understood the intention.

In this world, it is really more straightforward and snobbish than she thought.

The Song family smiled gently, and sent the old lady of the long room all the way to the long room, only then did he collect the smile on his lips and take Xie Shuning back to Zhilanzhai. As soon as she entered the door, Gui's mother asked anxiously, "Madam, how is it?" ”

Xie Shuning was the first to laugh, and with the other hand, she went to pull Gui's mother: "The princess was born very beautifully, and the little county lord was also born well, but she was fatter than Aman." She giggled, looking innocent and cheerful, and suddenly made Gui's mother lose her nervousness, and couldn't help but hug her a few times, and said to Song: "This is really good, ma'am!" ”

The Song family also rarely showed a pleasant smile, and said, "This time it's really luck." ”

It's herself, and she was also shocked to receive the famous post, let alone others.

It's just that today's trip, she was vaguely aware that the Bai family should have had a heart for her brother in the past. It's a pity that her parents' orders matchmaker said that it didn't take long for her to marry into Duanwangfu and have never been in touch since. My brother is now a wife and children, and some things have long passed.

Bai's missed the old love more than she thought.

Surprising and delightful.

And not only Song Shixi, but the old lady of the long room was also surprised and delighted.

She hurried back to the plum blossom dock, and sat down and asked people to invite Second Master Xie, who was resting today.

Unfortunately, the big girl coral walked out of the plum blossom dock and bumped into the eldest lady Wang. Seeing that she was in a hurry, Wang asked, "Where is this going?" ”

Coral Dun bowed and responded: "The old lady instructed the slave maid to invite the second master." ”

"Only the second master?" The eldest lady couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

Coral eyebrows don't move: "Yes." ”

The eldest lady's slightly frowned brows seemed to be forcibly stretched out by her, and she put on a smile: "In this case, let's go quickly, don't tell the old lady to wait." However, as soon as the coral figure disappeared, she sank her face and said to herself coldly: "The old lady really only has his good second son in her eyes!" ”

After she finished speaking, she was still angry, so she threw off her sleeves and went back to find Uncle Xie and told her about it.

But Uncle Xie has a soft temperament, and he has not entered the official career, he only takes care of the housework, and he has no weight in talking on weekdays, but now he has listened to the words of the eldest wife, and he is helpless. He persuaded the eldest lady a few words, but the eldest lady became more and more annoyed and thought that he was useless. Uncle Xie couldn't, so he had to go to Meihuawu to ask to see the old lady.

Who knew that the old lady would be concerned about important matters, and knew that it was useless to talk more about this matter with her eldest son, and knew that he was coming, so she only said that she was tired, so she let him go back first if he had nothing to do.

Uncle Xie couldn't help but be surprised, and his heart responded. He had the heart to go in and see what he was talking about, but he was afraid of annoying the old lady, so he had to go back in despair. When the eldest lady saw it, she became angry, and the dispute was afraid that it would hurt the relationship between the husband and wife, so she simply turned her head and went to find the bad luck of her eldest daughter.

In the plum blossom dock, the old lady of the long room withdrew from everyone, leaving only her son to speak.

She poured down the big red Fang Shengwen pillow behind her, looked at Second Master Xie, and said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, Duan Wang Ye has a good relationship with the emperor?" ”

Xie Erye was eating tea, and was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked around before lowering his voice and asking, "Why did Mother say this?" He has been camping in the court for many years, and his mind must be certain, so he vaguely thought of some tricks, and hurriedly said: "Mother went to the Duanwang Mansion for a banquet today, but what did she meet?" ”

"The woman that the sixth child brought back, the concubine of the same end is an old acquaintance." The old lady of the long room raised her head, took off the Nanzhu on her wrist and rested it on the kang table on the side, and looked at Second Master Xie with burning eyes.

Second Master Xie glanced at the kang table, his heart was surprised, and he said with a little doubt: "It's the old knowledge, so what?" ”

The old lady in the long room took a sip of hot tea and moistened her throat: "Second child, I am afraid that her friendship with the concubine is not shallow." According to me, there is no need to dwell on the bad things in the third room, and she probably deserves the position of the main room. We underestimated her earlier, and now we are helping her as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a favor. ”

Today's saint is weak and useless, although King Duan has been dormant for many years, and the two have a very good relationship, but it is afraid that it will be a matter of time before they take the throne.

This point, who has been in the court for many years, and now he is in a high position, Xie Erye naturally understands it more clearly. Therefore, as soon as the old lady of the long room finished speaking, he made a decision in his heart, but in the spirit of caution, he still asked, "Mother, are you convinced?" ”

If he interfered in the matter of the third room, then the Xie family would have stood in line in advance.

But if this time the old lady of the long house thinks too much and thinks wrong, it will be impossible to withdraw in the future.

"Although I am old, I am not blind or deaf, and I can still see some things clearly." The old lady of the long room thought about it, and her tone gradually became firm, "The sixth is the son of the third room, but in the end, he is also your younger brother. If he wants to take a career in office, he must be a virtuous person. I can't look down on the Chen family, let alone the Yanling Song family, but with the addition of Duanwangfu, it's very different. ”

……

When it was time to hold the lamp, the old lady of the long room went to the third room in person.

She rarely stepped into the territory of Shou'an Hall, and this time she made the third old lady uneasy.

As soon as she sat down, the old lady of the long room said straight to the point: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, I have something important to discuss with you today." The matter of the sixth child has been delayed from the beginning of the year to the beginning of spring, and it is impossible to delay. I thought, I might as well settle it early. ”

The third old lady thought that she would go to the banquet with the Song family during the day, and she would come to find herself in a hurry, and there would be no good thing, and she was shocked at the moment. However, before she could speak, she heard the old lady of the long room say slowly: "For the sake of the sixth child's career, you should also let your niece let out the Jade Tea Courtyard." ”

The third old lady's face changed suddenly.

"You also know that if I don't look down on the Chen family, it's that the Chen family can't help the sixth child too much." The old lady of the long room stared at her firmly, the corners of her mouth rose, and the two laughing arcs on her cheeks made her look particularly kind, but the words in her mouth poked at the key points of the third old lady, "Besides, the people in the third room are thin, and the Song family gave birth to the eldest son, who is a meritorious man, so the Jade Tea Courtyard should naturally let her live, don't you say?" ”
