Chapter 45 The Life of Mustard
"Jia Niang is sick?" In Dongchang Mansion, Song Li went out for a day as usual, returned to the temporarily rented courtyard, freshened up under the service of the maid, lay on the Taishi chair, and asked someone to hammer it slowly with a beauty hammer.
After closing his eyes and recuperating, he called the steward to his side to ask about his daughter's current situation, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "When did you get sick?" What disease? How did you get sick? β
When the steward bent down and whispered in his ear, he sneered and said, "The little trick of the brothers and sisters of the Dingguo Mansion...... As the scholar of Zou Mansion said, His Majesty has always been reluctant to embarrass them when he thinks of the old feelings. But my daughter of the Song family does not have the face of the late queen mother and the loyal father! Jia Niang is really spoiled by me, not an ordinary fool! β
"Miss is also young." The steward said slowly, "What's more, the old lady of the Shen family has been friends with you for many years, this family business is said to have not crossed the clear road, in fact, it is just waiting for Shen Gongzi to finish this matter, and after receiving the reward, you can marry the young lady in a beautiful manner!" In this way, Shen Gongzi suddenly had a so-called subordinate...... No wonder Miss was upset. β
Song Li said: "It's okay to be unhappy, it's a problem to have no brains." I never said that I wanted Jia Niang to be a truly virtuous and generous wife, but the problem is that as the daughter of an official family, she will definitely marry in the future. β
The steward said, "Didn't you already write a letter to your family?" When the young lady goes back, the lady and the others will definitely teach the young lady well. β
"But is she willing to go back now?" Song Li sneered, "Sick...... If you don't get sick in the morning or don't get sick at night, but on the night you go to Zou Mansion to eat and drink and come back, you will get sick when you are about to leave Jining according to the agreement? Ten out of ten don't want to leave, deliberately pretending! β
"Miss and Miss Xu have always been pearls in their palms, but this time I went to Zou Mansion for a banquet but there were twists and turns." The steward whispered softly, "No wonder the two young ladies can't swallow this breath!" β
Song Li's tone suddenly turned a little cold when he heard his words: "Why do you think I should personally take action for them to be jealous?" β
When the steward heard this, he quickly denied it: "No, no, the master is now shouldering the holy order, where can he withdraw?" The old slave is a little distressed about our young lady, in the end, the young lady is so big, it is in front of you, how have you heard a few heavy words? This time, I went to Zou Mansion in a hurry, but I said goodbye quite embarrassed, and I felt uncomfortable! β
"All I want is for her to be uncomfortable!" Song Li snorted and said, "It's all said that she is small, she can be out of the cabinet, what is still small?" You need to know that being a woman is not the same as being a woman! No matter how much she loves her at home, it's an idle matter, and her mother and I will tolerate it. But after leaving the cabinet, why did her aunt tolerate her?! She is used to being raised at this time, and no one can disobey her, and after leaving the cabinet, it is tantamount to being from heaven to earth, is it difficult to do her any good? β
He commanded, "If she wants to feign illness, let her go!" But Xi is definitely not allowed to help in this matter! β
The steward said cautiously: "Master, our young lady has always been obedient, even if she thinks narrowly for a while, she will definitely not be too stubborn, just get angry." The question is Miss Xu...... That master, but after a few words with Dingguo Gong, he came to Shandong in a fit of rage! Didn't we still receive news two days ago, saying that His Majesty is now in the army, and he has heard about it, and he also told the princess in private to try to persuade peace, don't let Miss Xu and Dingguo Gong really have a breakup? β
"......" mentioned Xu Jingyuan, and a layer of boredom suddenly appeared between Song Li's eyebrows.
He didn't like Xu Jingyuan from the bottom of his heart.
Not only because this girl always takes his daughter and doesn't study well, but also because she doesn't like Xu Jingyuan's pampered temper.
But before Emperor Yongle completely disliked the Dingguo Mansion, even the crown prince and the crown princess could only be polite to these two "cousins" and "cousins".
Song Li could only say stupidly at this time, "This girl doesn't know how to cherish blessings, and sooner or later she will have to teach a lesson." β
The steward thought for a while and said, "Miss is following Miss Xu now, in order not to be implicated, do you want to talk to Shen Gongzi?" After all, Shen Gongzi is in Jining, so it is good to take care of one or two. β
Afraid that this suggestion would be considered as an ulterior motive, he hurriedly added, "The reason why Miss will be deceived by Miss Xu is for Shen Gongzi in the final analysis." The old slave thought, if Shen Gongzi came forward to explain in person, maybe the young lady would be relieved? β
Song Li's face was calm, and after a while, he still shook his head: "I am so jealous before I have passed the door...... Do you really think that the Shen family has no place to marry a wife except for my Song family daughter? β
The steward did not speak further, and the matter was settled.
However, Song Li didn't plan to ask Shen Weilan to take care of his daughter, Shen Weilan knew that after Song Jianiang and Xu Jingyuan stayed in Jining, she was already frowning: "They stayed?" Do you know how long you will stay? β
The subordinate said, "I don't know yet. I only heard that Miss Xu was very worried about what happened at the banquet in Zou Mansion, and she probably wanted to get justice before leaving. β
"What justice does she have to ask for?" Shen Weilan said lightly, "The old lady of the village has a good birthday, she went suddenly, and she also took the Miss Song family, and she didn't explain the reason, so the people in the Zou Mansion were panicked, and the ancestors and grandchildren of the birthday star who were still scared at the banquet knelt down and begged for mercy...... A good festive day, almost completely ruined in her hands, and she still feels wronged at this time? It's really a noble girl, and it's okay to be delicate! β
Xu Jingyuan's identity was placed there, and Shen Thief Lan could speak so politely because her backer was no worse than her, but her subordinates didn't dare to speak, so they only hung their hands and stood by.
Shen Weilan thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to the past and ask Miss Song why she is staying, but what trouble do you need help?" β
His subordinates reminded him: "My lord, the reason they stayed was that Miss Song was suddenly ill. β
"You just have to ask like this, and see how that Miss Song replies to report me!" Shen Thief Lan sneered, he knew that Shen Song intended to marry, before he came to Shandong, his mother Zhang told him about it, Zhang was full of praise for Song Jianiang at that time, saying that this girl was not only right with Shen Thief Lanmen, but it was rare that she did not have the arrogance and arrogance of the noble girl of Tianfu, and she looked like a well-behaved and sensible person.
And although the appearance is not particularly beautiful, it is the kind of white and dignified that is very in line with the hearts of the elders.
At that time, the Zhang family also knew that Song Jianiang had a good relationship with Xu Jingyuan, but he thought it was a good thing: "Although the girl of the Xu family has a bad temper tacitly by everyone, in the end, Jane is in the emperor's heart." Jia Niang is like a sister to her, and it is also a good thing to be my Shen family wife in the future...... Anyway, Jia Niang has been playing with that girl for many years, and she hasn't been touched by her pampered willfulness at all. β
β¦β¦ In fact, they met several times when they were children, but at that time, the love was not opened, the boys preferred to play with the boys, and the girls also preferred to chat with the girls, so they just said hello or something, and they didn't talk about it deeply, and they didn't know much about each other.
When men and women grow up, their temperament will definitely change.
At this time, Shen Thief Lan and Song Jianiang glanced at each other from a distance, and their eyesight was almost blind, and they couldn't see the distance of each other's facial features clearly.
is to tell the other party's current situation, which can only be told by the elders.
So after listening to Zhang's description, Shen Steallan was still quite satisfied.
Just like Song Li said to his subordinates in private, because he is not the eldest son, he has no title to inherit, and he is a son-in-law, not the kind of unappreciated concubine who can be given up casually, and the harshness of the training he has received since he was a child is still above the eldest brother.
After many years of mentioning his life, coupled with his age of blood and strength, Shen Thief's mind at this time is probably on making meritorious contributions, and he has no time to think about marriage at all.
Since the family is right, and the mother is also satisfied, it doesn't hurt to marry the daughter of the Song family after returning from Shandong.
Song Jianiang sent someone to send something over before, and after Shen Steallan found out, although she immediately became vigilant, cleaned up her surroundings, and sent a letter to Song Li, she didn't blame her for the idea.
After all, he knew that because the girl of the Song family was the youngest daughter, she was pampered and carefree, she was a little naΓ―ve, and she didn't think about things well.
After all, the starting point is to have a good relationship with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that because of a Xi Fuwei, this prospective fiancΓ©e would not be reluctant!
"Not to mention that I and the Xi clan are innocent at all, but they each take what they need and have no selfish feelings, even if there is, you feel unwilling, and respond to the cry of the elders who went to Tianfu to find me, asking them to discipline me, and it's okay, knowing that I have important official business here, or is it a matter of moving the capital...... I still want to make trouble in Jining, so I don't know the general situation, I really think that the two families tacitly acquiesced to the marriage, do I have to endure you to the end? ! Shen Stealing Lan criticized the official document, thinking about Song Jianiang's prospective fiancΓ©e, and her brows became tighter and tighter.
Before, his little servant told Xi Fuwei that the Shen family was not a small family, and he was not necessarily afraid of the Dingguo Mansion, but it was actually from his instructions.
The birthday banquet of Zou Mansion was his last concession to Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang.
No matter how this banquet ends, as long as Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang leave Jining immediately afterwards, he will endure it.
But now that Xu Jingyuan doesn't plan to keep his promise, he actually has the intention of staying in Jining for a long time, do you still expect him to continue to swallow his anger?
He has no love for Xi Fuwei, at least not now, and he is not very satisfied with Xi Fuwei's performance since he entered the Zou Mansion, but whether this is his subordinates or he personally recruited him, how can it be regarded as a descendant.
According to the Shen family's teachings to him since he was a child, although the people under his hands are cheap when they should use it, they should usually be loved as if they were their own blood and bones.
Otherwise, when you are in danger, why should people sacrifice your life and forget your death?
The concept that has been imperceptibly cultivated over the years, in Shen Thief's opinion, Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang's current actions are not aimed at Xi Fuwei, but to slap themselves in the face.
And over and over again.
A hint of gloom flashed in the man's calm and waveless eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his voice and called into the small house.
