Chunping's face was as usual when he spoke, and his tone was extremely sincere.

Song listened, but his eyelids jumped, and after he was groomed, he was able to cheer up and follow Chunping to Shou'an Hall.

When I arrived at the ground, I entered the vestibule and saw that a few Phnom Penh Ruixiang trees had indeed bloomed, and the fragrance was overflowing, and it came to my nose. Just like the incense that the three old ladies like to order, the smell is so strong that at first glance, it almost makes people shut up.

Looking further, I saw a third old lady dressed in brown standing in front of the flower, bowing her head and pinching a piece of fresh petals at random, crushing it between her fingers.

Song stared at the smear of flower juice on her fingertips, took a deep breath secretly, and then approached and bent down to salute her, saying, "Mother." ”

"You're here." The third old lady nodded and responded, but she didn't embarrass her, so she moved two soft chairs out, and said with a pleasant face, "I'm old, and I'm tired after standing for a long time, you and I can sit and talk." ”

Song remembered the day she first saw her, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth was cold, but today's posture was so kind, she couldn't help but be stunned. She pressed the uneasiness in her heart, thanked her and sat down in front of the third old lady, folded her hands respectfully in front of her, and looked at the third old lady with a firm look. No matter what she seeks to do, she will face it head-on.

The spring breeze hit, brushing his cheeks with a hint of warmth, and then the cold disappeared......

At this time, it was the seventeenth spring after Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne.

The epidemic in Tongzhou has disappeared, the people in Beijing are panicked, and the muddy waters between the courts have also fluctuated. In the struggle for power, some people finally do this, and some people praise this.

However, the three old ladies didn't care about all this. She is not the old thing in the long house, she is a lot of old but she is still worried about the country and the people every day, she just wants to take care of her own little world. Let the son who passed from the long house bow down to him, let his niece be in the position of the main room, and give birth to a son-in-law in the future, so that the foundation of the third room will not be completely swallowed up by the long house. She will not have to rely on the long house for the rest of her life.

She is the daughter of the Chen family, and she was born to benefit the Chen family.

The Chen family has not been as good as one of the men in recent years, she has to plan for them and rely on the Xie family to fill the big hole in the top of the Chen family's head.

So she can't fall, and neither can Chen.

Last year, the Chen family wrote a letter, saying that her brother's eldest son wanted to donate an official, and her father fell ill again. All of this requires silver. Without her and the Xie family, the Chen family would have lost a foothold in Beijing. She knows how important she is in the hearts of the Chen family, and she has always enjoyed this feeling of being needed.

In recent years, she has almost quietly hollowed out the third room.

So the Song family came by chance and came wonderfully, and the dowry of that batch was really unexpected by her, and it also made her "fall in love at first sight", and she was reluctant to let go.

The vestibule was silent, and only Chunping and Dongle were left to serve.

The sun fell like broken gold, illuminating a strand of hair on the sideburns of the third old lady, like frost and snow. She didn't feel it, but her gaze at the pot of Phnom Penh Ruixiang was still gradually cold, and then she looked sideways at Song, her thin lips opened lightly, and said, "I heard that the sixth child was in your house at the beginning?" ”

Song had been waiting for her to speak, but she was still stunned when she heard this, "Yes." ”

"In that case, then why did you change the surname of a pair of children to Xie?"

Song was silent.

The third old lady already knew it. If she hadn't loved Xie Yuanmao very much, how could she have let her two children follow Xie Yuanmao's surname after she found out, and directly erased the matter of entering the family? Without this incident, she would have fallen behind in the Xie family. The third old lady affirmed what she wanted to know, so she smiled again and continued: "The children of the Xie family, no matter what, they can't be left outside, do you understand this? ”

After asking, she didn't wait for the Song family to answer, so she smoothed the conversation by herself, "And the Song family is the life-saving benefactor of the sixth child, and he has a husband with you. As a wife, and having children, I can't give up you. Otherwise, wouldn't he have become the unkind and unrighteous man, and how would he go on his career when the sun sets? ”

At this point, Song suddenly understood, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.

Immediately afterwards, the third old lady suddenly got up, raised her feet and walked behind Song, stood behind her condescendingly, stared at the top of her hair and chuckled, and said unhurriedly: "You want to be the main room, and you should do it." Is there any woman in this world who doesn't want to be big? But...... If you are right, how about giving me two children to raise? Although there are few people in the third room, there are a lot of things, and you will be more and more busy in the future, and you will have to bother to take care of the sixth child, so you must not have time to take care of the children. And when I am old, I like my children and grandchildren to be around my knees, and I have two children as companions, so I think my life will be much more leisurely. ”

Wind stops.

There was a deathly silence all around.

Song got up suddenly, turned his head, and stared at the young face of the third old lady.

There was only a soft chair between the two, and they confronted each other.

But when the third old lady saw this, she laughed loudly, and sneered in her mouth: "If you want to raise your own children, it is also common sense, after all, it is the meat that fell from your body, and I, as a mother, naturally understand." However, if you want to do this, then you can only be a concubine. The two children are still in the name of Jin'er, raised by your side, and they can still call you as a mother in the future. You're not losing anything in this business, are you? ”

She said it lightly, but the Song family listened to it with all his heart!

The aroma in the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the fragrance is stinky. Song sniffed disgustingly, leaned over and retched.

The third old lady frowned, took a step back, and did not ask anyone to come forward to serve her.

"What a vicious strategy! What a shameless person! Song forcibly held back his nausea, propped his hands on the back of the chair, and gritted his teeth and shouted.

The third old lady showed a strange smile with a slight disdain on her face, and opened her mouth to poke the Song family in the heart again: "You are just the daughter of a businessman, what do you use to fight?" I only need the word 'filial piety' to crush you under the Five Fingers Mountain and never move again! Oh? I think of a third way for you to walk......" She dragged out a long note leisurely, "If you die now, the sixth child will be distraught, and you will be mourned with the ritual of the main room, and you can also keep filial piety for you." As for Jin'er, why not be a steproom openly? In the future, your children can only call Jin'er their mother and let her handle it. ”

Every word is like a sharp blade, cutting the Song family to the ground and shattering it into powder.

She stared at the third old lady and squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "Don't you think! ”

The third old lady sat down again, stretched out her hand and tossed the blooming Ruixiang flowers a few times, "Three days, you can choose the three paths yourself." ”

When the Song family heard this, they didn't want to stay in Shou'an Hall anymore, and staggered out of the door.

Mother Gui, who was guarding outside, was startled when she saw someone, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Mrs., what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? ”
