Chapter 145: Entering the Song Mansion
According to Gu Gonggong's plan, Xi Fuwei was sent directly to the Song Mansion.
Because he had to go to his house outside the palace immediately to freshen up and change his clothes, and then enter the palace to meet Emperor Yongle.
And Xi Fuwei is not a person in the palace, even if it is a secret face saint, it has to go through a series of arrangements, not that people can enter the palace when they arrive...... Wait for notice.
"Our house is small, and there are some women in it." Gu Gonggong said to Xi Fuwei, "I'm afraid that after the young lady goes, it will affect her reputation, so you are the righteous daughter recognized by Song Shangshu personally, isn't it a matter of course to go to the Song Mansion?" ”
However, Xi Fuwei ignored it, and said goodbye to him without even going into Ying Tianfu: "The first time I came to Ying Tianfu, how could I see my righteous mother and them empty-handed?" Why do you have to wash off the dust and prepare some filial piety. ”
She is not stupid, the Song family had no choice but to recognize her as a righteous daughter, and they may hate her in their hearts.
At this time, the dusty people only go to the door, isn't it ready to be looked down upon?
Even if the bystanders see her and Yu Kedi coming to the door alone, they will definitely think that she can be the daughter of the Song family is simply pie in the sky, after saving such a preconceived idea, it is known that even if the Song family treats her and despises her in the future, others will think that it should be, after all, who knows what will happen to her without the Song family?
So after Xi Fuwei took Yu Kedi and Gu Gonggong to part ways, she directly called a carriage and went to a town about five or six miles away from the city, and after chartering the largest suite in the best inn in the town, she threw Yu Kedi a stack of silver tickets and told him to go out and buy it for himself: "Pick the maid and servant who has been trained, buy at least ten or eight, the length must be neat, and the conduct must be honest, even if you can't find a particularly honest one in a hurry, at least it is the kind of person who is interested and knows when to pretend to be!" ”
"The nursing home will buy a batch of everything, the people are tall and big, the appearance is dignified, and if you can fight it, you can't go back, in short, the shelf has to be filled."
Xi Fuwei propped her chin and discussed with him, "Buy a few more sets of ready-to-wear clothes for each of them, but the colors don't have to be too bright, after all, my father and brother have not been gone for long." ”
Yu Kedi smiled: "Carriage, coachman, what's the matter?" Since you want to put on a show, just make it complete? ”
"Absolutely." Xi Fuwei said, "You also buy yourself a horse?" Although there are nothing decent in this kind of town, it is close to Yingtianfu, if you are not afraid of being tired, you can go to the city and buy it directly...... In short, don't let the Song family come to the door to help the poor relatives before we are ready. ”
Hearing that Yu Kedi repeatedly confirmed that the horse was bought for him, that is, it was directly bought in his name, not lent to him, and he was immediately in high spirits, patting his chest and saying that all this was handed over to him, at most two days, to ensure that everything was done: "Although I don't have any acquaintances here, but where is our Jinyiwei's yamen?" This is still where the chief yamen is, you give so much silver, invite those local snakes to drink, what is such a trivial matter? What's more, you are also our own people, if you are underestimated by the Song family, will there be light on our Jinyiwei's face? ”
He went happily, and sure enough, on the afternoon of the third day, he had all the people, the carriage and the mount were also picked and brought over, and he also brought a bunch of gifts for the Song family, medicinal materials and supplements for the Song family's wife, calligraphy and jewelry for the Song family's sons and daughters-in-law, and fat powder pearls for Song Jianiang, and so on.
Yu Kedi said that he looked at Xi Fuwei and felt distressed: "The little money you brought from the Xi family smashed all inside, right?" What if I go out of the cabinet and have no money around me? ”
"Let's go to the door to recognize our relatives with such fanfare, if the Song family doesn't return the gift at all, Master Shangshu will not personally come out to recognize me as a righteous daughter before." Xi Fuwei pursed the corners of her lips and said, "After all, everyone knows that Miss Song and Miss Xu helped me out of kindness, and Miss Song even said that Song Shangshu recognized me as a righteous daughter." Do you believe that even if they return the gifts to their family intact, they will be considered ill-intentioned, and they actually took a fancy to my family's money and wanted to cheat me and my nephew, the poor two children? ”
"......" Yu Kedi pressed his chest, silently spit out blood, and said after realizing it, "So you specially found this town to hide, and went to the door to clean up the glamorous and rich, not for fear of being looked down upon by others, but to knock on the Song family?" ”
Xi Fuwei said: "Are these two things contradictory? I not only hope that other people's families will not treat me as a poor little pitiful, but also hope that the Song family can give me some benefits when I leave the cabinet...... It's not that you can't have both. ”
"If I were Song Shangshu, I would probably have the heart to kill you." Yu Kedi sighed, "Although it is not for you that he recognizes you as a righteous daughter, but how many people want this identity to pay money, you still haven't forgotten to put him together." ”
"You're wrong." Xi Fuwei shook her head and said, "I didn't mean to show him color, it's just that my father-in-law is actually quite reasonable, even if he definitely prefers his own daughter, he hasn't done anything to me so far." But isn't his stepfather absent at this time? Who knows what the stepmother and brother-in-law here are? Oh, and that Miss Song who treats me like a thorn in the flesh! Without my stepfather to mediate, what should I do if their family bullies me behind closed doors? So of course, I took the lead, and when I came to the door, I told them that I was not easy to mess with, and they wanted to trouble me, but they could weigh it first! Don't make everyone unable to get off the stage at that time, I'm an orphan girl from the north anyway, no matter how embarrassing I am in Yingtianfu, it's a big deal to go back to Shandong! But what about the Song family? ”
Yu Kedi said with a smile: "Even if you explain it like this, if I hadn't known you first, I would still have been aggrieved for the Song family." ”
"Hand a post to the Song family, and Ming'er will come to visit." Xi Fuwei ignored his words and said, "And Grandpa Gu also said hello...... Your Majesty is really calm, I am so worried that Your Majesty will suddenly summon me these two days! ”
In that case, Xi Fuwei would not be able to hide her whereabouts, because the Song family could block her outside the palace gate.
"You don't need to worry about that." Yu Kedi shook his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "The reason why Your Majesty didn't ask the adults to come back in person to tell you is that the picture is secret. In this case, do you think that you are the righteous daughter of the Song family? When I invited someone from the general office to have a drink yesterday, when they were half drunk, they told me intentionally or unintentionally that His Majesty asked Song Shangshu about having an extra daughter at a certain lady yesterday morning. The lady understood at that time and said, let the mother's family tell Mrs. Song in two days, and ask Mrs. Song to take you into the palace to have a look. ”
The two showed tacit expressions: it seems that Emperor Yongle's secrecy requirements for this matter are not ordinarily high, and they are not at ease when they are summoned secretly, and they also asked the palace concubine to summon the courtiers out as a pretense.
If someone else only said that a certain concubine was curious about what kind of girl had fallen into the eyes of the Song family's father and daughter, at most they wondered if it was related to the marriage of the emperor's eldest grandson, but they wouldn't think about it anymore.
"Let's not talk about it anymore." Yu Kedi reminded Xi Fuwei, "After you go in, don't mention it again, and don't tell me what happened." ”
Xi Fuwei nodded slowly: "I'll take care of it." ”
The worship post was sent to the door of the Song Mansion when it was dark, and the Song family thought of receiving the worship post, Xi Fuwei and Yu Ke didn't care.
Early the next morning, Yu Kedi got up and shouted at a group of people dressed up and ready to accompany Xi Fuwei to the door.
Although it was a makeshift team, it was solemn up and down, and it really looked like it was going on.
This cooperation is because of Yu Kedi's lecture last night, which can be summed up in two points: first, Xi Fuwei has a great future, holds a lot of money, and does not worry about money with such a master; Second, these people signed death deeds, and they had the documents of selling themselves in hand, who dared to mess up Xi Fuwei's affairs, he would make life worse than death in minutes.
At the end, the identity of the brocade guard was revealed.
Originally, there were a few people who were careless, and they were suddenly silent when they looked at the genuine embroidered spring knife.
Thanks to the civil servants...... Well, a lot of it is also true, the people in the market have long been thunderous about Jinyiwei, what kind of peeling cramps Ling Chi waist slashing all kinds of dazzling torture, this group of people are handy.
A group of people who sold themselves into slavery are not afraid that it is abnormal.
So all the way to the front of the Song Mansion, Yu Kedi let the carriage stop at the foot of the steps, got off the horse and went forward to talk to the doorman, and soon the son and daughter-in-law of the Song family came out to greet him.
These two people looked and behaved in a decent manner, not particularly enthusiastic or cold, just like the kind of relatives who usually meet.
Xi Fuwei called a little maid to help her get out of the carriage and exchanged a few words with them at the door, and greeted Mrs. Song and Song Jianiang and others, the two said that everything was fine at home recently, and said that her sister had a hard journey...... After greeting each other for a while, they let each other in.
When the door closed behind her, the eldest daughter-in-law Xie Shi said with a different face: "I don't want my sister to be so beautiful." ”
As soon as Xi Fuwei heard it, she knew that she was insinuating that she had snatched Shen Steallan from Song Jianiang by virtue of her beauty.
She doesn't carry this pot, after all, the relationship between the Song family and the Shen family is not far away, otherwise she would not have considered getting married before.
If she acquiesced at this time, who knows if it would make the Shen family think that she was a vixen who bewitched people with sex?
smiled immediately: "My biological father and brother also said that I was born upright, so I was asked to study more since I was a child, saying that the most important thing for a girl's family is to be virtuous and considerate, knowledgeable, and reasonable, as for the appearance, it is all icing on the cake, insignificant." ”
"......" Xie Shi was silent for a moment, and could only say, "Scholars, really have insight." ”
As for whether she scolded her shamelessly in her heart, praised you for being beautiful and unceremoniously accepted it, and also kicked her nose and face to boast of her talent and appearance, and a fool believes that looks are not important, if she is an old and ugly woman's talent, Shen Steallan is ten out of ten to be a confidant, not a wife who wants to marry...... Xi Fuwei doesn't care.
Continue to smile: "After all, my family is only in the countryside, and it is not good to compare with a lady like my sister-in-law, wait to see my mother, what are the rules for asking my sister-in-law to tell me?" ”
"Sister, don't worry, my mother has always been the most lenient, and there are no rules." Xie Shi was choked, and he was a little smiling at this time, "You can just feel free." ”
Anyway, people feel sorry for their own daughter, and they have long hated you, and no matter how you behave, she won't like you.
Xi Fuwei heard this subtext, and didn't care: "I also think that when I met my father in Jining before, I felt that my father was generous and loving, and I thought that my mother would be the same as my father." ”
Xie Shi smiled and said, "Yes, my mother has been thinking about you for the past two days." ”
I dreamed about how to make things difficult for you, so that I could be angry with my own daughter!
