Before, because Song Juren was not doing his job, he took people down halfway and brought them back to the hall to beat up Song Huishou of the Guangdong Guild Hall, when Song Juren went to Jiangdu Wangfu to talk about marriage, he went to Tianjin and never came back, so that Song Juren was sick and rushed to the hospital, first looking for Zhang Shou to propose marriage, and then stalking Song Tuiguan, almost scaring people away.

And after Zhang Shou recommended Zhang Kang, the uncle of Weinan, Song Juren was still insufficient, and even planned to invite Zhang Shou's quasi-father-in-law Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing to go together, but in the end he was frightened by Zhang Shou's words. As a result, the marriage proposal has been completed, but Song Huishou still hasn't come back, so that Song Juren said that he was lucky to start quickly, otherwise when this uncle came back, the daylily would be cold!

Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang both heard Zhu Ying mention this matter as if it were a joke, but now Song Huishou, who was said to have rushed to Tianjin urgently because of something, actually came back, and ran directly to them to ask for a meeting, which is incredible. Moreover, Song Huishou obviously took into account the difference between men and women, and claimed that if they didn't see it, they would be asked to read the letter first, which was obviously not a trivial matter.

Although he doesn't like to meddle in things, Song Juren still lives in the house of his future grandson-in-law Zhang Shou, and the marriage can also be said to have been forged by Zhang Shou by mistake, so Mrs. Tai pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Although there is a difference between men and women, since he said that it is 100,000 urgent, then please come in, and there is no need to be so troublesome as a letter." ”

Since Mrs. Tai was willing to take the time to meet without avoiding suspicion, Mother Li naturally went out in person and gave an order, and then personally picked up the Song Huishou who was sweating profusely on a cold day at the second gate. As soon as she saw him like this, she was sure that the person was already in a hurry, but she didn't dare to ask more, until she sent the person into Qing'an Hall, and saw that Mrs. Tai did not tell outsiders to enter, so she continued to guard the door.

As for the fact that there were only two women in the house, Mrs. Tai and Mrs., but they met an outsider, whether this would cause people to gossip, she didn't even think about it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is anything wrong with Song Huishou, Mrs. will probably be able to beat Song Huishou down alone.

Not to mention, Mrs. Tai is still immortal!

And Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, like Mother Li, saw that Song Huishou was desperately wiping his sweat as soon as he came in and didn't care about saluting, and knew that the matter was probably not small, so Mrs. Tai didn't wait for anyone to greet people in circles, and asked bluntly: "Song Huishou said that 100,000 is urgent, what is the matter?" Your nephew is familiar with my future grandson-in-law, isn't it good to go directly to him? ”

"It's not that I didn't want to go over to find Bachelor Zhang, but the matter is big, and I think it's safer to find a royal relative like the Zhu family." Song Huishou squeezed out an expression that was more ugly than crying, but he glanced left and right twice, and finally simply took two steps forward in disregard of etiquette. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao Guo had already shown an extremely vigilant expression, he quickly stopped.

"I beg your pardon for being daring, but I'm so frightened. When I think about this news now, I feel my legs tremble......"

Even though he knew that Guanzi should not be sold, Song Huishou still trembled, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in a slur manner: "Didn't the emperor send the second prince to Qiongzhou Mansion to plant trees?" Our Song family had planned to leave from Tianjin to return to Guangzhou, but only a few days after leaving, he rescued a person in the sea, he said that it was the surviving boatman on that boat, and he also said...... He also said......"

When she heard the words "surviving boatmen", Mrs. Tai was furious, and Jiuniang was also shocked and angry, but at this time, Song Huishou was still struggling, and they were all hot and impatient in their bones, and they were suddenly anxious, and they shouted in unison: "Say it quickly!" ”

Song Huishou was so frightened that his feet trembled, and he directly collapsed to the ground, and his teeth were even chattering: "The boatman said that the boat ...... The boat was on fire and flooded halfway through, and had sunk! ”

Boom –

Even if Mrs. Aether has been up and down for half her life, she can't help but feel like the sky is thundering at this time, and she suddenly can't sit steady. And Jiuniang on the side also suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and she didn't notice Mrs. Tai's abnormality until a moment late, so she quickly got up and squatted in front of her mother-in-law, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, do you want me to call Mother Li in?" ”

"No, no!" Mrs. Tai shook her hand, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she also came to her senses, and then gently held her daughter-in-law's hand, and looked down at Song Huishou who was still on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Let me ask you again, is this what you just said, seriously?"

Song Huishou was just trembling his legs and teeth chattering just now, but at this time, his whole body was trembling, and his voice brought out a bit of crying: "I also hope that this is his nonsense, but the people on the boat said that after getting the news, they were shocked, so they immediately searched around the surroundings, but they couldn't save anyone. ”

"What sundries?" Mrs. Tai didn't even feel that her voice had become very sharp. She stared at Song Huishou and couldn't help but be extremely impatient when she saw him trembling and pulling things out of her arms. And Jiu Niang, who was next to her, didn't care as much about the political significance of the second prince if he really died, but she squinted her eyes slightly, and she also put all her energy on Song Huishou.

She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that this person was throwing out an earth-shattering news to use as bait, but in fact, she was plotting against her when she took out something. Throughout the ages, such examples are not uncommon! Specializing in assassinating the king, isn't that the case with Jing Ke's assassination of the king of Qin?

However, under her extremely vigilant gaze, Song Huishou groped out a small cloth bag from his arms. When he carefully opened it layer by layer, Jiu Niang saw that there was an ebony card in it. Her heart jumped, and she hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and then solemnly sent it directly to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai carefully looked at the ebony card, and saw that there were three small characters engraved on it - Shen Twelve. And when she turned around, she saw that it was the claw of an indescribable animal, with a few strokes, but it was quite murderous. Just looking at this one thing, her first little fluke was completely gone. This is the waist card of the Imperial Attendant!

As for the embroidered ribbons, tassels, and a few other messy filial things in the cloth bag, she had no intention of continuing to look at them, and after taking a deep breath, she said in a deep voice: "Where is the rescued shipwright?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, I urgently brought people into Beijing." Song Hui saw Mrs. Tai's grim expression for the first time, and hurriedly cheered up and replied, "I originally wanted to ship back to Tianjin, but it was difficult to go against the wind, so the captain found a place to stop the ship, please watch it safely, take the rescued people and two safe boatmen, all the way to find Song's firm and friends to help, change horses into Beijing, and happened to meet me in Tianjin." ”

Hearing that she was in the Guangdong Guild Hall and knowing that this journey was safe, Mrs. Tai's face was a little pale, but when she thought of the huge reaction and consequences that this incident might trigger, she was still worried. Therefore, after standing up with the handrail, she said in a deep voice: "Jiu Niang, I will hand over the head of the Song Society to you first, and I will enter the palace to face the saint now." When you return to the palace, you will take him directly into the palace. ”

Jiuniang immediately agreed, but went out in person, one to call Li's mother in, and the other to order the preparation of a sedan chair.

And Song Hui saw that Mrs. Tai took Mother Li to the east room to change clothes, and he hurriedly held on to the ground and wanted to stand up, but his legs were still weak and couldn't move. The next moment, he only heard a bang, looked up, but saw Jiu Niang going and returning, just moving a chair in front of him.

After being slightly stunned, he woke up like a dream, hurriedly held on to the sour branch wooden chair, and finally got up, and then bowed vigorously at the other party and said, "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam!" ”

Jiu Niang also couldn't stand the fact that people couldn't get up on the ground all the time, but it was not good to reach out to help, and she was too lazy to ask the girl to come in to support this bad old man who was obviously not old but looked very old, so as soon as she had an idea, she simply moved a chair and let people support her. Seeing that Song Huishou thanked him again and again, she interrupted very carelessly, and immediately motioned for Song Huishou to go out with her.

When she stood under the eaves, she made a gesture for the nearby people to retreat farther away, and then raised her head to look at the eaves and the east and west walls, and made sure that no one was watching, so she lowered her voice and asked for some details. As soon as she asked, she found that Song Huishou rushed over only because there was something at the Tianjin wharf, and happened to meet the captain and his party who had returned to Beijing, and many details were not clear. Of course, it may also be that people know but dare not say too clearly, or they may not dare to ask more questions when they find something extraordinary.

Jiu Niang pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "After the people on the Song family's boat found out that there was a problem with the second prince's boat, they didn't think about killing the person who was rescued, and then completely dissociating themselves from the relationship, as if nothing had happened?" ”

Song Huishou never thought that Jiu Niang would ask so sharply and explicitly, and his forehead sweated again for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and whispered: "Madam Mingjian, the Song family has a great cause, although I know that the emperor may be angry and angry with us, but in order not to implicate himself and try to hide it, the paper can't contain the fire, if the news leaks, it will be a disaster to destroy the door!" ”

The captain is his side brother, and he didn't think so much about saving people, and the people on the boat didn't avoid it, so they all heard people shouting the words "second prince". Even if you kill all the others and sink the ship, then you may not be able to avoid this and wrong, because if the imperial court investigates, all those who sailed in Tianjin and nearby waters during this period will not be able to escape the involvement!

And Jiuniang heard Song Huishou say so frankly, she sighed, and then said, "I know, you wait here." ”

Seeing that this Mrs. Zhao Guo turned around and entered the house again, I don't know if it was to say what he just said to Mrs. Tai, Song Huishou raised his sleeves again and wiped his sweat, but he only felt that he was a person who was about to drown, and finally grabbed a life-saving straw. And he never felt that Song Juren's nephew was so cute.

It is conceivable that if there was no relationship between Song Juren, even if he, the head of the Guangdong Guild Association, was barely the number one person in the circle of merchants in the capital, it would still be impossible for him to enter and leave the Zhao Guogong Mansion so easily, and he would also enter the palace in person to report to Mrs. Gong, the sister of the Queen Mother!

When Mrs. Tai came out again with Mother Li and Jiuniang, the original household clothes had been replaced by the crown clothes of the wife. She had just learned from her daughter-in-law what Song Huishou said, and at this time, she couldn't help but glance at Song Huishou who was sweating like rain a few more times, but she opened her mouth to warn: "You should cheer up, if you go back to the palace, don't lose your temper like just now." ”

"You know, your nephew's marriage is decided, and he can be regarded as the emperor's niece and son-in-law, as long as your Song family is frank and has a clear conscience, then what is there to be afraid of?"

Song Huishou ran between the two places, returned to Beijing and threw people into the Guangdong Hall and went straight to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, he didn't have time to talk to people at all, and when he heard the news that his nephew's marriage was decided, he was like a person in a dream, and he didn't even know when Mrs. Tai left.

It wasn't until he was woken up by a cough and saw Jiu Niang looking at him lightly that he coughed twice in embarrassment, and then asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Madame, what did Madam just say about my nephew's ......marriage?"

Jiu Niang would not mention the public case of the conflict between Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying, and said lightly: "Oh, it's very simple, the daughter of the King of Jiangdu, the county lord of Hailing, fell in love with your nephew at first sight, so after your nephew went to see the King of Jiangdu, he wanted to find you to propose marriage." As a result, it happened that you were not there, and he could only turn to my future son-in-law for help, so he said that Wei Nanbo went out to the door to propose marriage. ”

It's all what and what! If you can propose marriage at first sight, what else do you need from your parents' matchmakers!

Song Huishou almost didn't pop his eyes out. Just someone's lazy temperament, unbelievable hobbies, and the strange personality of not thinking about taking the exam, but actually going to participate in the imperial chef selection competition, can impress a county lord? Just kidding, right? Is this kind of thing that can only happen in drama also happen in reality?

But Jiu Niang's next words immediately woke him up completely: "What, I think it's incredible?" Fate has always been wonderful, your nephew seems to you to be bad in a thousand ways, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, they only think that he does not seek wealth and wealth, and his mind is pure. In addition, he also has a meritorious reputation, and he was born in the Song family in Guangdong, so he is worthy of a county lord. ”

Song Huishou could only smile bitterly, but this time he really regretted it a little: "Even if it's true, I don't know if this sudden incident will ruin this family business...... Alas, it is true that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. ”

Mrs. Tai was also secretly muttering this sentence on the pannier chair entering the palace at this time. She is most glad that the crown prince has been established, even if the second prince really sinks and dies, she can't shake the prince who is already in the East Palace, but for the emperor's possible reaction, even if she is the emperor's aunt, there is no way to predict it. It's like she hadn't expected the scrap queen to come so quickly!

As a foreign woman in the palace, even if it should not be the time to enter the palace at this time, her entry into the palace is still very smooth. The pannier even went all the way directly from Bei'anmen until it stopped at Xuanwu Gate.

And thanks to someone rushing over to report the news earlier, a small sedan chair was already waiting here. So, Mrs. Tai, who got off the pannier chair, immediately transferred to the small sedan chair. When the small sedan chair swayed and stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace, Mrs. Tai only heard a courteous voice from outside the sedan curtain

"Mrs. Tai entered the palace so late, but there is something urgent? The emperor originally planned to pass the meal, but he had already ordered it to be postponed. ”

Hearing that the emperor had postponed dinner, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but shake her head and sighed: "To be honest, I really hope that the emperor has already had dinner at this time." "After hearing the news, it's strange that the Supreme is still in the mood to eat!
