Gao Niancai's meaning, Song Yi understood it. Gao Niancai is worthy of being a smart person, and he feels that Song Yi's foundation is not stable now, and he will definitely not fully support Song Yi.

Song Yi was not annoyed, although he did not pull Gao Niancai over, but he also figured out that Gao Niancai was not from the old lady's side.

In addition, as Gao Niancai said, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The actual situation of the True King's Mansion is already very bad, and now he has to prepare a birthday banquet for the old lady, where will the money come from? Do you still have to take out the dowry and put money in it?

Although Song Yi loves money, he is not a miser. If it is to spend money for the elders who love the young, Song Yi feels that no matter how much he spends, he will not feel distressed. But if it was for Du's birthday banquet, Song Yi felt that it was not worth it to put money in.

Since looking for Gao Niancai, Song Yi has lost more and more confidence and feels that he has taken over a troublesome matter.

Zhu Xi saw Song Yi's sad face all day long, and knew that the woman was in trouble, so he waited for her to take the initiative to ask for help.

But Zhu Xi was in the study, waiting left and right, and the woman didn't come to him. Knowing that a woman has a strong personality, she finally took the initiative to ask after the other party sighed many times, "Have you been worried about anything lately?" Why do you sigh like this all day? ”

Although Song Yi didn't want to ask for help, he still wanted to find someone to talk to, "I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home." Now, I finally get it."

Zhu Xi saw that Song Yi was so depressed, and said, "Is it the old lady's birthday banquet that has encountered a problem?" ”

"No, it's not" Song Yi didn't think about it and denied it.

But Zhu Xi is not a fool, since the woman took this errand, how can she not see it?

Song Yi also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "Okay, it's indeed the old lady's birthday banquet." You know that, too. I'm just getting started, and that's the first thing I took over. Isn't it a joke if it's not good? Can ......"

"We are husband and wife, and we should support each other. Don't be embarrassed to open your mouth to me. I'm your husband, and I'm supposed to solve your problems, shouldn't I? If you have any problems, tell me."

"Lord Wang, do you know about your own industry over the years? Or are you simply indifferent and let those people toss? Song Yi still couldn't help but ask the question that had plagued him for many days.

"You're talking about the property of the True Palace?" Zhu Xi didn't want to see women worry about this matter.

"Does it make a difference?" Song Yi asked.

"The true king's mansion is the true king's mansion, and this king is this king. The property of the True King's Mansion is all left by the ancestors, not mine. Over the years, I have never thought of returning to the property of the True Palace. Whatever they want, I'll go with them. Anyway, they are also the descendants of the True Palace, and they also have that power to use. Zhu Xi didn't intend to hide it from Song Yi.

"What does the prince mean is that you have other properties?" Song Yi still heard the meaning of the true king's words.

"That's nature," Zhu Xi replied with a smile, "Although this king doesn't care about the properties of the True Palace, he doesn't have nothing. Take the pawnshop you saw in Blackwater, for example, it's one of my properties. In order to be able to cover our people, I asked them to cover as normal people. It's not just a pawnshop, my people are already from all walks of life, maybe you can meet them on the street."

After Song Yi heard this, he felt honored, and even felt that such a true king was the man he really liked.

It turned out that the real king was not ignorant of the affairs of the palace, and listening to his words, he should know about the old lady and the Wang family getting money from the real palace. But he was so indifferent, it can be seen that he has long been disappointed in these people in the True Palace.

Song Yi has always been ignorant of the secrets of the True Palace, and now she also wants to figure out the attitude of men towards the old lady, so that she can choose what attitude to treat those people.

"I only know that the old lady is not your real grandmother, but apart from this, what has she done to you? What makes you so kind of attitude towards those people? ”

"Hmph. She always hated my own grandmother, thinking that my own grandmother had used tricks to climb into my grandfather's bed. Actually, how did she know that my grandfather was asked to support the entire palace since he was a child, so his grandfather has been sacrificing all his life for the real palace, even his marriage. For the sake of the family, the grandfather had to obey the family's arrangement and marry the daughter of the prime minister at the time, Du Shi. Grandpa and Du Shi are political marriages, and there is no real relationship at all. Du is jealous and ruthless, but my grandfather doesn't care at all, and Du is still arrogant."

"Without my own grandmother, my grandfather's life would be like this, like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless. This is what my grandfather told me personally. He said that he didn't know what happiness was and what happiness was before he met my own grandmother. ”

"Until one day, my grandfather saw my own grandmother in Du's room. My grandfather felt like his whole being was alive. But at that time, Du Shi was pregnant, and my grandmother was just a little girl in Du Shi's room. The difference between the identities and status of the two people is too great, and my grandfather buried his feelings for my grandmother deep in his heart. ”

"But fate is so elusive. Before Du Shi gave birth, he was suspicious all day long, suspecting that my grandfather had other women outside, so he intensified his efforts and made the whole palace restless. One day, my grandfather was depressed and drunk, and was kicked out of the house by Du. My own grandmother was a girl next to Du's side, so she was arranged to take care of my grandfather. When my grandfather saw the person he liked in front of him, he thought it was just a dream, so he completely indulged himself and became married to my own grandmother."

"The next day, when Du Shi found out, he was furious and wanted to drive my grandmother out of the palace. When my grandfather woke up, he regretted it and felt sorry for my grandmother, so he quarreled with Du Shi, and finally took my own grandmother away."

"My grandmother became my grandfather's woman, and soon became pregnant and gave birth to my father. Those days were the happiest days for my grandfather and grandmother. But such days are so short"

Zhu Xi said, his eyes were empty, as if he was caught in a memory.

Song Yi was on the side, holding his hand and giving warmth.

Zhu Xi felt the concern of the people around him, smiled, and continued, "Du Shi has always regarded my own grandmother and my father as thorns in his side. Suppress my grandmother everywhere. My grandmother is a kind and beautiful woman, and she feels that she has done something wrong and is sorry for Du, so she has been silently suffering from Du's bullying and never resisting. She also kept telling my father not to contradict the Du family, but to be filial to the Du family."

"My father did the same, but what happened in the end?" Zhu Xi said this, his whole body muscles tensed, "How can a person as proud and mean as Du Shi endure my grandmother's "betrayal" and my father's existence? Du Shi tried every means to force my grandmother to death, and he tried to deal with my father. My grandfather had just lost his lover, and he was afraid of the power of Du's mother's family, so he could only send my father to the barracks. My father understood that this was my grandfather's protection of him, and also because my grandmother told him not to take revenge on Du when she was dying. He could only leave the palace and go to the barracks. ”

But in the end, he died on the battlefield. My mother had just given birth to me, and she couldn't bear the blow and quickly died. Grandpa felt that he had killed his son and failed to protect his lover, so he felt even more guilty about me in infancy. I was afraid that Du Shi would not be good for me, so he always took me with me to raise me. ”

"Grandpa, in order to compensate me, as soon as I was born, he asked for a holy decree to make me the son of the world. After Du Shi knew, of course she refused, she had two sons herself, how could she bear the title of giving her the grandson who hated women the most? But the holy decree has been issued, everything is already a foregone conclusion, and Du Shi can no longer change it when he knows it. From then on, she regarded me as her only enemy."

"Can you imagine a newborn baby facing the test of life and death all day long?" Zhu Xi did not shed tears, but he was full of sadness.

Song Yi also felt very sad on the side, and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Everything is fine" Song Yi stroked the man's back and comforted softly.

"I'm fine, I've been used to it for the past twenty years" Zhu Xi smiled, but the smile on his face didn't reach his eyes.

"I remember when I was seven years old, I contracted smallpox. Everyone said I was going to die, I couldn't live. Du also asked my grandfather to send me out of the palace and fend for myself. My grandfather disagreed, and despite the opposition of all the clansmen, he kept me with him. At that time, there was also a Gui mother, who stepped forward and took care of me without undressing. Finally, a miracle happened. I survived. ”

"It turns out that Gui's mother saved you. No wonder you treat her differently" Song Yi finally understood why, the true king was very indifferent to everyone else, but he trusted Gui's mother so much.

"Mother Gui has not only always taken care of me as her son, but also resisted many assassinations for me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have survived."

"Well, Mother Gui is your benefactor, that is, my benefactor. I will be filial to her like a mother."

After Zhu Xi heard this, he was very moved and clasped Song Yi's hands.

"It wasn't until a few years ago that I didn't know I had smallpox because of it."

"What? How could she be so cruel to a seven-year-old child? After hearing this, Song Yi was surprised.

"What would she not dare. She is the daughter of the prime minister, the princess of the real palace, and gave birth to two sons for the real king. She had always believed that the title would be inherited by her son. Where did I think that with me, 'Cheng Biting Gold'. How could she not get rid of me quickly? ”

"She bribed the little girl who took care of me and mixed the smallpox patient's belongings into my tea set. I contracted smallpox, and if I died, she would have her wish. Where did I think that Gui's mother would not give up and rescued me from the ghost gate. She also hated Gui's mother from then on, Gui's mother's leg was Du's cold winter wax moon punishment kneeling, the root of the disease, and her leg hurt in winter"

"I see. No wonder, there is no little girl in Wentao Garden, is it that girl back then that made you have a shadow? ”

"The girl back then was my mother's dowry, my grandfather has always trusted her very much, and I like her very much. Unexpectedly, she was bribed by Du Shi to kill me. I didn't know it at the time, but I didn't know that my grandfather had executed the girl until I got better, and for this, I vomited with my grandfather for a long time. ”

"At that time, I didn't know the reason, just to be angry with my grandfather, I drove away all the little girls in Wentao Garden. Later, after knowing the truth of what happened back then, there was no more newcomers in the house. It can also be said that you are the only little girl who has appeared next to me for so many years."

When Zhu Xi said this, he couldn't help but have some flattering meaning.

Song Yi thought that he wanted to stay by his side in order to save his life at that time, but his purpose was not pure at all, and now that he thinks about it, he is even more embarrassed.

"Who is rare to be your girl?" Song Yi's mouth is not soft.

"Hehe, yes, how can you be just a girl? Isn't this my princess? Zhu Xi said with a smile.

Song Yi felt even more sad when he saw that the man deliberately said such things in order not to make her sad.

How many dangers must a child have to go through and how lucky he must be to survive growing up in such an environment full of hatred.

Song Yi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to smooth the furrowed eyebrows on the man's forehead.

"Don't think about that anymore, think about me, okay?"

The man couldn't help but laugh "Okay"
