Chapter 166: Song Yi celebrates the old lady's birthday
After many days of visits, Song Yi has already made a bottom about the business of the True Wangfu in the capital.
However, she didn't do anything about it. Just wait for her to really start housekeeping, and then deal with these "dark diseases".
Song Yi thought that the old lady would covet power to death, but he didn't expect that the turning point would come soon.
On this day, early in the morning, Song Yi went to the old lady to say goodbye as usual.
As he gets older, he is used to going to bed early and getting up early.
Therefore, Song Yi and their time to invite them to eat was set at Mao Shi. In order not to toss the old lady, everyone agreed to go to the old lady to say goodbye together.
Song Yi was reluctant to associate with those women in the past, so he always pinched it.
Today, Song Yi did the same.
The Wang family, the Cao family, and the other concubines were already waiting in the old lady's room.
When Song Yi arrived, they were discussing something, and they were very enthusiastic.
Even the old lady was involved, which made Song Yi the last to arrive.
"Princess, you're late today. In the past, we just waited, but today the old lady gets up earlier than you. You're really full of style," after the lesson of the last time, Cao Lihua restrained for a while. Later, Wang handed over the account books to the princess. The old lady also intended to arrange for the princess to be in charge. Cao Lihua saw that the others didn't mention letting them move out again, so she reverted to her old ways. Only now she has also learned to borrow a knife to kill. Always use the old lady as an excuse.
Song Yi ignored Cao's and accused the old lady, "Old lady, I'm late today"
"Princess, don't take it personally. It's not that you're late, it's just that my wife is early. When people get old, they can't sleep. I knew that when the time came, I would lie down in the ground, and I would not be able to sleep well, but I still couldn't sleep well. This morning, too, I just got up early. ”
"Don't say that, old lady. Your old man's life is 100 years old, and our children and grandchildren must be filial to your old man. Don't want to leave us as a family and think about Qingfu by yourself. We people won't say yes."
It was Dafang's aunt Jiao who spoke.
I don't know what's going on with the old lady recently, she doesn't like the eldest lady Wang, and she always picks on Wang's thorns. Instead, he looked at Jiao's eyes, and openly and secretly raised Jiao's and belittled Wang's.
Jiao is also a person who judges the situation and knows that the old lady intends to promote, so he often goes in and out of the Qingsong Courtyard to curry favor in front of the old lady.
This time, it was Jiao's witty remark again, which made the old lady very satisfied.
"Alright. Early in the morning, what nonsense are you talking about? The old lady is in good health and naturally blessed and long-lived. You don't have to say those cheap words" Wang didn't know where he offended the old lady, which caused the old lady to see that her nose was not a nose and her mouth was not a mouth these days. Now, he is even more disgusting with Jiao's family.
Wang felt aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the old lady.
Seeing that Jiao was becoming more and more proud in front of the old lady, he couldn't help but teach Jiao a lesson with his identity as his wife, reminding her that his identity was just an aunt.
Jiao was faceless and aggrieved by Wang's training, and looked at the old lady pitifully.
When the old lady saw Wang reprimanding Jiao in front of her, her face was also very bad.
"Just now it was just a few words of my old woman's complaints, and the others have heard and heard, but they haven't taken it to heart. Jiao was also afraid that my old man would be sad and sad, so he would just say a few naughty words. Why do you teach her? ”
Du Shi showed no mercy and spoke for Jiao's family.
Jiao was a little embarrassed, but now he was proud again.
Wang gritted his silver teeth, but he didn't dare to attack, otherwise, he would have deliberately done something right with the old lady.
"It's the daughter-in-law who said it," Wang lowered his head, pretending not to see the expressions of the others.
Song Yi didn't expect that he would be able to watch this play early in the morning.
She could guess the psychology of the old lady, and after she entered the palace, the Wang family's effect on the old lady was almost gone. The Wang family is just the lady of the big house, not the princess of the real palace. The princess is getting started, and the housekeeper's affairs will have to be handed over sooner or later.
In the past two years, a lot of things have happened in the big house. The old lady was angry in her heart, she had long been dissatisfied with the Wang family, and in the past, it was just because the Wang family was useful to her, so she endured it in her heart. Now that the new accounts and old accounts are settled together, it is naturally difficult for the Wang family everywhere. This Jiao clan is just a chess piece, which the old lady used to deliberately disgust the Wang clan.
Wang understands, Jiao also understands, and most of the people in this room understand this truth. But no one dared to disobey the old lady, so they could only secretly watch Wang's jokes.
When Du Shi saw that Wang was committed, he was full of self-sufficiency.
"You've come at the right time. We were all discussing a matter just now, and we all disagreed, and we couldn't make up our minds. Now that you have entered the gate of the palace and you have been implicated, we naturally want to hear your opinion. The old lady Du Shifu smiled again and said to Song Yi.
"Oh? Is it still related to me? Song Yi didn't know why, so he asked.
"As you all know, my old man doesn't like to be lively, and he doesn't like to be loud and extravagant, and he doesn't like to celebrate Narausch's birthday. But you, aunts and sisters-in-law, sisters and sisters, all like to be lively, and just now they were all saying that they wanted to take the opportunity of my birthday to have a lively gathering for sisters. I don't know, what do you think? ”
"I see" Song Yi realized that it was already August, and October was the day of the old lady's birthday.
The year before last, there was something about Zhu Zimo, and last year, the old lady was reluctant to hold another birthday banquet.
This year, I don't know why, I picked up my birthday again?
Song Yi didn't know what kind of medicine these people were selling in the gourd, so he flattered and said, "Old lady's birthday, this is the same important thing in our palace, so it is natural to do it."
"Do you say you can do it too? But the palace has done a few major things this year, will you be a little nervous? Besides, this year is just my little birthday, so it's good to have a meal on the table and everyone have a meal together. Why do you need to make a big deal and alarm everyone? ”
"Old lady, you are wrong. This is the first birthday of the princess after entering the door, so it is naturally more grand. It just so happens that you can also take advantage of your birthday to let our princess show her face in front of everyone. The real palace married such a virtuous princess, how could she not appear in front of everyone? ”
The tone of yin and yang weirdness, you don't have to guess that it is Cao Lihua.
Song Yi frowned, this Cao Lihua is really a seed player who is dead.
If she is so decent, she has to come and tinker with it. Song Yi felt that he should have followed what the true king said last time and treated Cao Lihua for the crime of disrespect.
"This princess is not like Madame, she likes to show her face and attract bees and butterflies. Isn't it idle to play with flowers and plants in the house? ”
"What did you say?" As soon as Cao Lihua heard "Attracting Bees and Butterflies", she knew that Song Yi was teasing herself.
"Okay, early in the morning, what are you smoking again?" Du Shi didn't want Cao Shi to spoil his own affairs, so he hurriedly told Cao Shi to shut up.
Cao Shi wanted to say something more, but Zhu Shanlei hurriedly pulled her mother Cao Shi to the chair and didn't let Cao Shi speak again.
Du Shi saw that Cao finally shut up, and he became satisfied.
"You're a good boy with a steady sound. However, the True King's Mansion has a head and face in the capital, so it is inevitable that he will have to associate with other people. If you are too withdrawn, others will not think that you are idle, but will only accuse us of being a true king. Originally, I didn't want to waste money and labor, but you have just started, and everyone else is looking at you and the real king's mansion. If you don't show your face, will the big guy be suspicious? Just now, I hesitated. But what your sister-in-law said is not wrong. Although I don't like to be as noisy as you are, this is also a chance to exercise you. I just wanted you to organize this feast. First, you can take over the affairs of the house from this time on, and let the others in the house convince you; Second, it will allow you to recognize all the relatives and friends of our palace, and it will be more convenient for you to act in the future. You don't have to be afraid, it's just some regulatory and charter-type arrangements, there are precedents to follow in the past, as long as you follow it, there will be no big mistakes. If there are still people who don't obey discipline, or if you feel that something is inconsiderate, you can ask me, or you can ask your aunt, who used to handle these things. I think others will help you too. I won't let you do it the first time."
Duch's words sounded very appropriate. Song Yi couldn't find fault with it, after all, she asked for a housekeeper some time ago, and it was understandable that the old ladies took this opportunity to investigate.
Moreover, the old lady took the matter of her birthday to Song Yi to practice, and she also saw her attention and trust. If Song Yi still pushes back, it will only make people blame her for not knowing what to do.
Song Yi thought about it, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only agree.
