Duan Wang Ye has a very good relationship with the emperor, has a deep brotherhood, and is a first-class figure among the clansmen.

His concubine has not come out for many years, eats fasting and recites Buddha, and ignores mundane things on weekdays. Therefore, all the trivial matters in Duanwang's mansion are taken care of by the side concubine Bai, so everyone knows that the Bai family in Duanwang's mansion is called the side concubine, but in fact, it is the same as the concubine.

Xie Shuning had seen her a few times in the past.

At that time, she was the wife of the Marquis of Changping, and it was inevitable to attend banquets in Beijing. At that time, the Duan Wangfu would hold a spring banquet every year, which was presided over by the side concubine Bai herself. Xie Shuning attended such a spring banquet three times, but he only said a few words to the Bai family. There is a difference in status, she is just Mrs. Xiaohou, and the Bai family is willing to deign to talk to her, which is already a matter of great face.

So when Gui's mother said those words, the horror in her heart was no less than seeing a ghost in the day.

Mother actually knows Bai's?

The Bai family was born in Yanling, and she always knew about it, but she never connected her with her mother.

Taking a breath, Xie Shuning tried to calm her mind, sat cross-legged beside Mother Gui and pretended to be puzzled: "Who is the concubine of Duanwang?" Since her mother knows her, why didn't she take Aman to see her? ”

When Gui's mother heard this, she laughed, put the needle in her hand on the cloth, and said, "King Duan, that's a very big official, and it's the emperor's younger brother." How can we see his side concubine? ”

"But, isn't she good friends with her mother?"

"It happened many years ago, and my wife said that I don't know if I still remember her, and I can't be considered a good friend."

Xie Shuning frowned subconsciously when she heard this, her mother's worry was not unreasonable. But in this situation, if you can get the help of the Bai family, the rest of the things will be easy to grasp. If that's possible, why not take the risk? So she deliberately said: "My mother is timid!" Didn't she dare to write to her uncle before? It can be seen that this time it is also time to think about meeting the side concubine, otherwise how can she not remember her mother? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gui's mother to speak, she said again: "My mother taught me that it is not easy to make friends, and you can't give it up easily, why doesn't she lead by example?" ”

The child is talking nonsense, Gui's mother is funny when she listens to it, but after thinking about it, she feels that it makes sense.

She thought about it for a while, then went to find the Song family, and told the Song family these words: "Madam, the slave maid mentioned to you the concubine of King Duan a few days ago, I don't know if you still remember?" According to the slave maid, now it's time to climb the friendship. ”

After speaking, Song raised her head with a string of pink Nanzhu chains, and the jade pendant in her ears was like water, she smiled and shook her head: "In the past, it was not a deep friendship, after so many years, how can you climb?" Without waiting for Gui's mother to speak, she handed over the Nanzhu chain in her hand and ordered, "Put it away carefully, I will send it to the long room." ”

Gui's mother was stunned: "Send it to the long house?" ”

Song's chin was bowed, and he took out a little cuibu from the mahogany carved box and shook it, and said: "The old lady of the long house likes Nanzhu." ”

When she was desperate, she also thought of a piece with Xie Shuning, no matter what, being able to get the support of Changfang was far more useful than Xie Yuanmao. Now that she understood that Xie Yuanmao could not be relied on, she naturally had to find another way out immediately. In addition to the old lady in the long house, the second lady Liang is also a very suitable person. But the second lady was of noble birth, and she couldn't be impressed with money. It's just that she's pregnant now, and it's not like there's no way to please her.

The Song clan deployed step by step in his heart, walking cautiously.

"Madam, the slave still feels that she should give it a go."

Song frowned slightly and sighed: "Actually, I already wrote a letter when you mentioned the Bai family's sister that day. It's just that after thinking about it, what kind of identity is she now, what kind of identity am I, the difference between cloud and mud, how can it still be the same as in the past, and I haven't been in touch for so long, I'm afraid that I will be ridiculed if I go in a hurry. ”

When the words fell, Xie Shuning, who had been quietly waiting outside, couldn't hold back any longer, hurriedly entered and threw herself into her arms, and said, "Mother, Ah Man has not seen the princess Niangniang, Ah Man wants to see it......

She tried her best to be coquettish, but the Song family had no choice.

"Mother, you have written the letter, why don't you send it for a try?" Seeing that Song only smiled and didn't speak, she raised her head and asked.

Song was asked.

In the final analysis, she is just afraid of losing face, and her hot face sticks to people's cold butts.

But Aman said yes, since it's all written, why not try it. In this situation, what can be done to save face? She was ruthless, so she took out the letter that had been prepared earlier, and asked Gui's mother to hand it to Duanwang's mansion. Xie Shuning looked at it, but she didn't have any confidence in her heart. It's so easy to send a letter to Duanwang's mansion...... It's just that it is precisely because of this that this letter will not be arbitrarily ignored by the subordinates of the Duanwang Mansion. Because the Song family had a small plan, they wrote the name of the Bai family on it.

But Rao is like this, whether it is the Song family, or Xie Shuning, in fact, they don't have much expectation for this letter.

However, who knows, things are like spring and ice melting, so that no one would have thought of it.

――Bai personally gave a post to Song!

This is a great honor!

The post of the Spring Banquet of Duanwangfu has always been based on the identity, all kinds of clansmen, and foreign women...... I've never invited anyone around.

However, this time, three people from the Xie family received the post. The second lady Liang didn't need to say anything, but this time she was pregnant and it was inconvenient to move around, so she refused. The other person is the old lady of the long house. These two people have received posts every year, which is not very strange, but when it was Song's turn, it frightened a group of people.

When the old lady in the third room learned about it, she was so shocked that she smashed her favorite Longquan kiln celadon cup.

The old lady of the long room played with the string of southern pearls that the Song family respected, and rubbed them one by one.

The grains are round and smooth, the pink is mild, and the size is uniform, it is the finest Nanzhu, and it is a rare thing that can not be bought with silver. She carefully argued many times from beginning to end, and finally sighed and handed the thing to the maid who was waiting on the side, and sighed with emotion: "It's that I underestimated the Song family." ”

On the day of the spring banquet in Duanwangfu, the old lady of the long room personally sent someone to come to the third room to invite the Song family and walk together.

Song naturally agreed with a smile.

The rules of the Spring Banquet are that only female guests are allowed to haunt, regardless of age.

The old lady of the long house brought her favorite granddaughter according to the old practice, the sixth lady Xie Zhiruo, who did not return to Yangzhou with the third lady Jiang, and the Song family brought Xie Shuning.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the group set off.

Two carriages marked with the word Xie drove out of Shijing Hutong and hurried to Duanwang's Mansion in Nancheng. By the time we arrived at Suzaku Avenue, it was already a short time. Kyoto is huge, and the north and south castles are far apart, so it is not easy to go back and forth. After getting out of the carriage, Xie Zhiruo muttered that her body was sore. The old lady of the long room was angry with her early, and when she heard the words, she was busy letting people knead for her.

Xie Shuning held her breath and didn't dare to move.

Bai's will give a post to her mother, which really messes up her position, she is extremely flustered at the moment, and she is not in the mood to go to the banquet at all.

was led into the garden, and Xie Shuning recognized many people at a glance. She had a good memory, and after a glance, she found many familiar faces from the past. The circle of noblewomen in Kyoto has not moved for many years, so as soon as the Song family entered, it was like a stone falling into a pool, stirring up ripples one after another, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
