Chapter 139: If you really don't interfere, you'll have to cry
Lu Zhan felt that he must have made a mistake this time, who can mess with someone but can't mess with a fool, who can do such a face-to-face slap in the face? Didn't he insinuate that he was an "ordinary person" like him?
For the sake of growing up in a small piece, he chose to glare at him, and then said: "I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, just educate him, and next time I can't let him pester people to climb trees." After all, not everyone can be literate and martial, this thin arm and thin leg, if you bump into it, you can't raise it for a few months? ”
As he spoke, he saw that Song Lian had a broken plum flesh stain on his mouth, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped it on him.
Because he was annoyed with him, he couldn't help but use a little force, expecting that the bear child would bark in Java, but he didn't want him to suffer nothing.
Climbing the tree is simply Hu Yan's dead end, he said: "It's almost time, why don't we have a cup of tea and go to Dongxing Tower?" ”
Lu Zhan didn't want to leave: "Since you want to get acquainted with Gongzi Xie, then this place is open and elegant, why don't you let the little marquis and Gongzi Xie come here to meet?" Casual and comfortable, and quiet and easy to talk. ”
Gongzi Xie came to the door, and turned around to visit Xie's house, or Miss Xie came to visit the female dependents, which is called coming and going. And Hu Yan had a thought about Song Xiang, now that the situation has become so grim, he must find an opportunity to dispel Hu Yan's thoughts, if he goes to a place like a restaurant, it will be too inconvenient for him to act.
Hu Yan looked at Song Lian and did not object to this proposal.
He didn't know what Lu Zhan was thinking, but as a teenager with a clear goal, he also had his own little Jiujiu.
Yesterday, because it was a temporary idea, I thought of entertaining outside. Being able to entertain guests at home not only shows sincerity, but also acts more calmly as the head of the house. The most important thing is that Song Lian is still a child, and he has a place to play with him at home, and there are many people watching, so it is not easy to go wrong.
He immediately agreed: "That's fine." But then he thought, "But I didn't prepare food and drinks." ”
"Isn't that easy?" Lu Zhan beckoned to Jingwang, "Go to Dongxing Building to book a table and send it to Hu's mansion." Then go to find the little marquis and ask him and Xie Gongzi to go directly to Hu's mansion. ”
Jingwang went immediately, and Hu Yan also immediately went to call Zhang Luo.
……
After feeding the fish, Princess Jin returned to Qiwu Palace to deal with daily affairs.
After reading the two posts, Yingniang came in: "The person sent to inquire about Mrs. Hu is back." replied that Mrs. Hu had met a few female guests today, and then Hu Gongzi personally went to the Song family pharmacy early in the morning to pick up Song Lian, the youngest son of the Song family, and returned to the house. It should have changed the location of the dinner, and the little Hou Ye and Xie Gongzi both went to Hu's house. ”
Princess Jin frowned: "Brother Yan was not such a meticulous person in the past. He actually went to pick up Song Lian to go back to his house to play? ”
"The guards saw it with their own eyes."
Princess Jin thought for a while: "If Mrs. Hu wants to mention this family, it is impossible to hide it from her brother." He was afraid that he was ordered by his mother. After thinking for a while, she asked, "You said that there was a female guest in her house?" Who? ”
Yingniang reported a few names.
Princess Jin frowned again: "They are all people with low official ranks. With the status of the Hu family, she suddenly took the initiative to invite these people to tea, and she must be tired. ”
Yingniang said: "Mrs. Hu has always been vigorous and resolute, and there was a temptation yesterday, and it must be seen that the princess did not completely reject the possibility of the prince and Miss Song, so I am afraid that she is discussing the matter of marriage in Zhang Luo." It's just that the prince doesn't admit it, and it's inconvenient for us to meddle in Mrs. Hu's actions. ”
The family backgrounds of the Song family and the Hu family are too different, and it is definitely not appropriate for the Hu family to ask a matchmaker to choose a high-ranking official.
The marriage is still based on the orders of her parents, and Mrs. Hu is taking the path of justifiably agreeing with her relatives, so it is not easy to handle the Jin Palace.
One is that Lu Zhan's attitude is unclear, and the other is that even if he clarifies this idea, such a major event as marrying the prince of the palace is not something that can be decided in a few words, and he has to discuss with the king of Jin and inspect the heroine's family, in short, there are many regulations to go.
The key is that they haven't gotten angry with the Song family at all, and if they want to give marriage, they have to have a courtesy official contact first.
At present, the regulations are not clear, and no matter how much Princess Jin wants to help Lu Zhan, she can't directly send someone to the Song family to stop her. Otherwise, it will become a direct snatch of the daughter-in-law from the hands of the courtiers. It would be too undignified to spread such words.
Princess Jin pinched her pen and paused for a while: "If you really don't interfere, he has no place to cry when he turns around." Speaking of this, she picked up the pen and ink: "Didn't you all say that this Song girl is smart?" Go and write a letter, write down all the actions of Madame Hu, and then take it to her. ”
Yingniang raised her eyebrows slightly and said yes.
……
Mrs. Hu sent the guests out, and when she met the people sent by Hu Yan to Dongxing Building, she asked them and learned that their bureau was changed to the mansion again.
At that moment, she also instructed the garden to prepare tea for entertainment, and then sent a family member to the Song family to spread the word, telling them that Song Lian was playing in the house today and would not go out, so that they could rest assured.
Zheng Rong said: "This Mrs. Hu respects us very much. ”
Of course, Song Xiang also saw it, but because she attached too much importance to it, she felt a little unsure. As the wife of a heavy minister, how can Mrs. Hu have so much time to greet people like her?
I won't talk about Hu Yan coming to pick up Song Lian in the morning, it's all pulled to the needle and thread, and it is obvious that it is Mrs. Hu's meaning, so why does Mrs. Hu still look down on Song Lian?
The only thing that can alarm her, the housewife, can only be the one she has been guarding against in her heart......
She wiped the table, remembering that Ah Shun was also clever on weekdays, and was about to send him to Hu's house to have a look, when two white-faced and beardless men walked in outside the door, and arched their hands in front of her: "Dare to ask, but Miss Song?" ”
Song Xiang nodded: "I am, what do you two have to do?" ”
These two are not very old, but they look like eunuchs, and she is a little wary.
The eunuch took out a letter from his bosom and said, "On the orders of the head of the family, there is a note specially presented to the girl. ”
Song Xiang looked at the familiar envelope style, his heart moved slightly, and when he opened it, his brows immediately furrowed......
……
Xiao Zhenshan remembered what Lu Zhan sent to tell him yesterday, and went to the Xie family early to pick up Xie Hui, the eldest son of the Xie family. was rushing to Dongxinglou, but was intercepted by Lu Zhan's people halfway through, so the two of them turned around and went to Hufu. It didn't take long for Lu Zhan and Hu Yan to sit, and they arrived.
Xie Hui is in his twenties, dignified, and speaks with a southern accent, thinking that because he has not been in Beijing for a long time, he is not very familiar with these powerful people, and he is very polite, but he is not restrained.
They saluted each other.
Lu Zhan's buttocks were the largest, and he sat still, and when he was done seeing him, he beckoned Song Lian to get up. Xie Hui did not show surprise when Song Lian was seated, and even complimented him a few words when he heard that he was still the only son of a Hanlin official.
Lu Zhan was worried about finding Mr. Song Lian, and beckoned Xiao Zhenshan to sit closer.
