Ah Jin got up early the next morning, sent Song Wenyu out of the door, and then returned to the east wing for breakfast, and then went to the main room.

In the main room, Song Yu and Mrs. Song were already sitting on the main seat. came over to join in the fun, and Song Li.

"Say hello to the old lady, please say hello to my mother-in-law." As soon as Ah Jin entered the door, he saluted the two elders sitting on the high seat in a regular manner.

The old lady nodded, still with that lukewarm attitude, Ah Jin didn't care. As long as the old lady didn't kick her out on the spot, she was already thankful.

"Brother Yu called you here?" As soon as Ah Jingang sat down, Mrs. Song asked.

"Wen Yu told the concubine about this last night, and the concubine thought about coming over to see if she could help." Ah Jin smiled slightly, and set aside a thousand pounds, neither embarrassing the old lady nor embarrassing himself.

Old Madam Song glanced at her with a complicated expression, and then stopped talking. Seeing this, Song Yu knew that the old lady had acquiesced to Ah Jin's help here, so he asked the maid who was waiting beside him to take the gift slip in her hand to Ah Jin to take a look, "What else is missing on this list?" ”

Ah Jin took the gift list and looked at it a few times, then looked up at Song Yu's and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law's gift list is well considered, and my daughter-in-law has no opinions. ”

As soon as her words fell, Song Li, who was sitting on the side, suddenly sneered, "Sister-in-law, anyone can say this kind of thing." Aren't you here to help? But I see how it's here to flatter. ”

Hearing this, Ah Jin lowered his head with a smile and looked at the list again, "Mother-in-law is indeed thoughtful, so there is nothing that needs to be modified." If the sister-in-law insists on picking out an inconsiderate place for the concubine, then the concubine will have to do something icing on the cake. ”

With that, she stood up and walked towards Song Yu and Old Madam Song, and said respectfully, "Old lady, mother-in-law." The concubine felt that the porcelain in the dowry might as well be replaced with gold utensils. Porcelain is fragile, but gold can please a better meaning than gold. ”

Song Yu took the gift list and looked at it, then raised his head and glanced at the old lady Song, and saw that the old man bowed slightly, so he smiled at Ah Jin and said: "Okay, just according to what you said, let's change this gift list, but what style of this gold ware has to be selected again." ”

"The concubine feels that the gold ware of the Western Regions style is good. Outsiders like to carve grape pomegranates on gold, which is generous and beautiful, and it is passed to us here, and there is another layer of meaning of many sons and many blessings. ”

"Alright, alright, let's do it." Song Yu smiled, he thought that the matter that would be delayed for several days would be solved so easily, it was really a happy thing.

Song Li sat on the side, and saw that her mother was coaxed by Shen Mojin to be happy, and the expression on her face became more and more gloomy, but she couldn't find a point to make trouble, so she could only hold it back, so she was not uncomfortable.

Old Madam Song glanced at Song Li, and quietly put the tea bowl on the table, "The matter of my Erlang is so decided, everyone is here today, why don't we plan our Song girl's family affairs together." ”

Song Yu was in a happy mood, and when he heard Mrs. Song say this, he was also stunned, "Mother-in-law, this ......"

Mrs. Song didn't explain much, but stretched out her hand to Mama Li, who was standing beside her, and when Mama Li saw this, she hurriedly handed a few scrolls in her hand to Mrs. Song's hand, "These are all gift lists given by people who have come to discuss relatives in the past few days, the old body and old eyes are dizzy, and I can't see this, so I'll give you a good look at this mother." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Ah Jin again. Seeing this, Ah Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Since I am talking about my sister's family affairs, the concubine will retreat first, if the mother-in-law needs to do anything with the concubine, she will directly send someone to call the concubine over." ”

"Okay, you go down first." Song Yu nodded, and when Ah Jin left, she was relieved.

Ah Jin took Ah Zhen on the front foot and just left, and Song Li, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but burst out, "Grandmother, how did you talk about Li'er's family in front of that woman!" ”

"Presumptuous, how can you yell in front of the old lady, sit down!" Before Mrs. Song could reply, Song Yu had already stood up and scolded.

Song Li stared at Song Yu for a long time, and then sat down again with a stomach. Old Madam Song looked at Song Li's unconvinced look, shook her head and said, "This is wronged?" The Shen family has suffered a lot more grievances than you, and I don't see people throwing face at the Song family on the spot. ”

When Song Li heard this, she immediately raised her head and looked at Old Madam Song, with tears in her eyes, but she didn't return the favor.

"Li'er, you're eighteen, and you're no longer a child. Before, you were messing around and willful, but the Song family was responsible for you, and your father and brother cleaned up the mess for you. But a woman still has to marry in the end, and when you get to your husband's house, do you still have to go over with this arrogant temper? Old Madam Song asked earnestly.

Song Li was stunned when she heard this, but she only felt a trace of bitterness blocked in her chest, and she couldn't go up or down.

"Grandmother, I ......" She suddenly thought of what she had experienced before, and felt more and more that Shen Mojin's whole person was exuding a strange feeling. She couldn't wait to confide her grievances and speculations to the two elders, but was interrupted by Old Madam Song raising her hand.

"I know what you're trying to say. You just want to say that you were crazy before, and you can't get rid of that Shen family. But Li'er, you don't have proof. In the past, with your words alone, my grandmother might have been able to move her to give you anger, but now...... She is not only the wife of your eldest brother given by the saint, but also the meat of your eldest brother's heart. Based on your speculations alone, but without the slightest evidence, you can't touch her. Those things that want to be picky, you still don't say it. The old body didn't want to hear it. ”

Old Madam Song waved her hand, looked at Song Li After saying this, she looked at Song Yu and said, "Those few people were specially selected by the old man. Since you are Song Li's mother, you should take good care of her. That's all the old body can do. Family and everything is prosperous, this truth must be understood by our Song family. Now that the court is in turmoil, the men of the Song family are already anxious and tired of coping outside, so we officials and dependents in the family every day should not make more trouble. ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law understands." Song Yu took the scrolls that were placed on the table and replied respectfully.

After Mrs. Song explained all this, she suddenly felt extremely tired, so she asked Mama Li to help herself down to rest. As soon as she left with her front foot, Song Li made a fuss again.

"Mother! Why is my grandmother on the side of the woman now? ”

Song Yu looked at Song Li helplessly and said, "What your grandmother said is not completely unreasonable. You can also see that your eldest brother has a rare energy for the Shen family, why do you need to hit the south wall. ”

"She caused me to enter the Great Compassion Temple, I can't swallow this breath," Song Li said in a choked voice, her eyes became vicious again, "Mother, don't forget, she also hooked the soul of the second brother......"

"Shut up!" Song Yushi slammed the table, and the whole person was trembling slightly, "I don't want to hear this kind of thing from your mouth anymore, and I don't want to hear it from anyone's mouth!" Don't think I don't know what you secretly said to Xiaomeng! Fortunately, that kid is knowledgeable and didn't mess around with you! Otherwise, otherwise where do you let your mother's old face go and insult the lintel of the Song family, do you still want to marry a good family? Yes? ”

"This is clearly true, why can't you let me say it?" Song Li asked in a loud voice.

"Where did the facts come from! It's all your imagination! Song Yu's face turned white with anger, and he wanted to scold loudly, but he was afraid that the wall had ears, so he had to lower his voice.

"If it was really my imagination, why did my mother also have the idea of sending the Shen family to the Great Compassion Temple in the first place. Don't talk about mothers, grandmothers are also involved. It can be seen that the mother and grandmother also understand the second brother's thoughts to some extent. ”

Song Li snorted coldly, very aggressive. Song Yu sat down on the chair and only felt cold in his limbs. She looked at Song Li, as if looking at a stranger, "I don't know what obsession you have, but that's your second brother, why do you have to drag him into the water?" ”

"Mother, in your heart, whether or not the second brother is always the most important. As for me, I can be sacrificed at any time," Song Li didn't answer her, but asked another question.

Song Yushi opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but he heard her say: "I know, I am the one who can be sacrificed." Not only does grandmother think so, but even you think so," she pointed to the scrolls in Song Yu's hand, unable to hide her disgust, "Even if those people are good, I don't want them, I just want Luo Teng." If my mother forces me to marry, carry my corpse with her. ”

With that, she turned and left the room. Song Yu was stunned as Song Li's figure disappeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly cried, "What kind of sin have I created, what kind of sin have I created!" ”

Because he left early, Ah Jin naturally didn't know what was happening in the main room. But Song Li made no secret of her hatred for her, and she could naturally feel that hatred.

"Girl, you left that Song girl alive, I am afraid that there will be trouble. I'm looking at her next to you today, and I always feel that the way she looks at you is wrong. ”

"Well, she clearly wants to kill me, but she doesn't have the slightest way to look at me with such eyes," Ah Jin took Ah Zhen leisurely on the way back to the east wing, looking here, shopping there, and passing the time, "Let him go, the royal capital has changed recently, and I don't want to make any more extraneous branches at this time." ”

"Yes," Ah Zhen reluctantly agreed, but in her heart she was thinking, you don't want to be sideways, and I don't know if others think the same way.

"After lunch today, let's talk to Song Dalangjun and go out." Looking at the bleak autumn breeze outside the corridor, Ah Jin suddenly said.

Ah Zhen was stunned, "Is the girl going to do something?" ”

"First, I went to tell Mo Lin the news that the Song family was going to make gold artifacts, to see if he could get this order with his own ability; Besides, I want to go to Wei Yuanzheng's mansion. ”

"You're going to find Lord Xiao Wei." Ah Zhen understands everything, and since she already knows the master's intentions, she immediately goes down to prepare.

Ah Jin was still standing on the corridor, watching the fallen leaves flying, and couldn't help but tighten the fur collar on the cloak with her hand, "It's changed...... " she muttered as she looked at the blue sky.

……

Wei Lingyun didn't have to be on duty in Xinglin Yuan today, so he left the palace early and returned to the Wei Mansion. As soon as he reached the door, a small beggar bumped into him. Wei Lingyun stood still, and was about to say something, but saw the little beggar grinning at him, and ran away again. And in the palm of his hand, he doesn't know when there was an extra note.

Wei Lingyun opened the note with doubts and looked at it, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and walked out again. After a while, I came to Lan Yin Ji. Lan Yinji, who was standing at the door to greet customers, saw that it was him, and hurriedly led him to a private room and left, leaving Wei Lingyun standing alone at the door, in a dilemma.

"Wei Yizheng, since you're here, let's come in and sit." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the room. As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Lingyun pushed the door open.

"Are you ......" Wei Lingyun looked at the young lady sitting inside, but he couldn't recognize who the other party was for a while.

"Doctor Wei is inviting you to come in and sit down, and the concubine has something to discuss." The young lady smiled slightly, not in the slightest coquettishness. The down-to-earth and generous appearance made Wei Lingyun look a little stingy.

Wei Lingyun walked into the room with a hint of shame on his face, and saw a little maid standing at the door, so he felt a little more steady. At least, it's not a lonely man and a widow, living in the same room.

"The little beggar Wei met on the way back to his house today was none other than the handwriting of his wife." As soon as Wei Lingyun sat down, he asked straight to the point.

"Since Wei Yizheng has already guessed it, why bother to confirm it with the concubine again," the young lady spoke to him in a tone that seemed to be no stranger to him, and the strange thing was that Wei Lingyun didn't hate such feelings.

"Madame has taken such a lot of trouble to invite you, and you know your official position and address, it seems that Madame is very familiar with Madame?" Wei Lingyun didn't like this feeling of being thoroughly explored, but he didn't know anything about the other party.

The young lady heard that he was tempting, and she didn't dodge, and replied with a smile: "The concubine is not very familiar with Wei Yizheng, but she is very familiar with Shen Yu and Shen Shen. ”

Wei Lingyun listened, goosebumps all over his body rose, "...... you" He looked at the smiling young lady and couldn't speak for a long time, "Who are you?" ”

"The people in the royal capital all call me Mrs. Song, and the concubine is the wife of Song Wenyu, the doctor of the Criminal Department, and Doctor Wei is calling me Mrs. Song." Ah Jin looked at Wei Lingyun's surprised expression, and for some reason, he wanted to laugh.

This upright young man, I didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was still so simple, no wonder Shen Yu was so devoted to him.

"Mrs. Song, you...... You and Shen Yu ......" Wei Lingyun looked at Ah Jin suspiciously, he had a lot to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

"Shen Yu's enlightenment master also has some relationship with my family, she used to communicate with her master from time to time, but this connection has been broken recently. Her master was a little worried, so he inquired all the way about my ......" Ah Jin lowered his eyes, "Shen Yu is the medicine girl of Xinglin Yuan, and her whereabouts are not easy to ask the concubine to inquire, so I had to come and ask Wei Yizheng to try my luck." ”

Wei Lingyun was silent for a while, as if judging the truth of what he said. Ah Jin was not in a hurry, drinking tea while waiting for him to speak. After a while, Wei Lingyun said: "Shen Yu is no longer on an errand in Xinglin Garden, she went to the East Palace and served by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. ”

Ah Jin pretended to be surprised and looked up at Wei Lingyun, "She...... is not a palace maid, how could she go to the East Palace to serve? ”

"I don't know, I wanted to ask her to understand, but ...... After all, the East Palace is no better than Xinglin Yuan, and now I want to see her, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, let alone finding out the ins and outs of this matter. Wei Lingyun smiled bitterly.

Ah Jin pondered for a while, and then said softly: "If you want to ask Shen Yu clearly, it's not impossible. Merely...... I have to ask Doctor Wei to do the concubine a favor. ”

"What's the busy?" Wei Lingyun thought for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"The concubine needs an identity that can blend into the palace, as long as she can enter the palace gate, the rest of the things have nothing to do with Wei Yizheng." Ah Jin looked at Wei Lingyun and said word by word.

Wei Lingyun was shocked, and he didn't understand why such a rebellious thing could be said so lightly from this woman's mouth. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous." ”

"Wei Yizheng, this is the only way to find out why Shen Yu went to the East Palace to serve. Of course, if Wei Yizheng could think of other ways to get close to Shen Yu, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. ”

Wei Lingyun was speechless by Ah Jin, but he didn't dare to immediately respond to Ah Jin's bold proposal. Ah Jin sat on the side and waited quietly for a while, watching the sky gradually darken, and knowing that there was no way to wait for a result today, she stood up and was about to go outside.

"Madame, please stay," Ah Zhen had just opened the door for Ah Jin, and Wei Lingyun seemed to have made a decision, "Madame is somewhat sure of this matter." ”

"I don't dare to say that I am ten percent sure, at least seven or eight percent."

Wei Lingyun's heart was shocked, "Okay, three days later, Wei will still come to Lan Yinji to pick up Mrs. You, let's see you in the morning." ”

"Okay." Ah Jin turned sideways and nodded to her, and then left Lan Yin Ji with Ah Zhen.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Ah Zhen opened the conversation, "Girl, is that Wei Yi reliable?" My voice trembled as I watched him say those words. ”

"A person like him, who has lived more than 20 years in a decent manner, is of course afraid to suddenly let him do such a shocking thing. If you don't show that you're scared, then there's a problem," Ah Jin glanced at Ah Zhen funny, "It's also embarrassing for him, for Shen Yu's sake, this can be regarded as a free escape." ”

Ah Zhen pursed her lips, not daring to agree, but did not say anything more. The carriage slowly advanced all the way back to the Song Mansion. When Ah Jin got out of the car, she happened to see Runxiang Xiao Zhan and Song Wenyu standing at the gate, she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

"Ah Jin," Song Wenyu glanced at her, hurriedly said hello to Xiao Zhan and ran over, "You just came back?" ”

"Well," Ah Jin nodded, and had to look at Xiao Zhan and said, "Say hello to the prince." ”

"Mrs. Song is exempt," I don't know if it's Ah Zhen's illusion, she always feels that the smile on King Run's face is a little warm the moment he sees his girl, "Wen Yu, let's not talk about business today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." The king took his leave. ”

"The prince walks slowly." Song Wenyu stood at the door with Ah Jin to watch Xiao Zhan's carriage leave, and then they both turned around and walked into the mansion.

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the carriage, gently opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a small gap, which could not only let him see the people standing outside, but also prevent the people outside from seeing him. It wasn't until he saw Ah Jin follow Song Wenyu and turn away that he lowered the curtain a little stunned, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.

Song Wenyu took Ah Jin's hand and walked to the east wing, and saw that Ah Jin seemed a little sullen along the way, so he said, "How did you get along with your grandmother and mother this morning?" They didn't let you be wronged. ”

"Not really. Originally, they were discussing a happy event, and no matter how much the two old men hated me, they would not be unhappy with me at that time. It's your sister......" Ah Jin said at this point, and did not go any further.

What kind of virtue Song Li has, Song Wenyu naturally knows. He sighed, squeezed Ah Jin's hand and said, "You don't have to pay attention to her, since she did such a ridiculous thing, her temper has become more and more weird." My father and I have told my mother several times that you should not pamper your little sister, but your mother will not listen, and you can see what the little sister has become now. ”

Ah Jin glanced at Song Wenyu, and saw that his brows were furrowed, and he looked worried about the country and the people, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth his forehead for him, "Song Li is estimated to be even more unhappy today, the old lady has already started to pick her mother-in-law's house." But she was bent on marrying Lotti...... You are such a good brother as Luo Tixing, why don't you talk to him and see if he is willing to marry your sister? ”

"Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, otherwise the family house will be restless. You also said that Luo Teng and I are the best brothers, so how can I do the thing of shoehorning Song Li into their Luo family. When the time comes, don't be able to do it and become an enemy," Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin seriously and said, not giving Song Li half of face at all, "Besides...... Aten: He already has someone in his heart. ”

"Who? My senior sister? Ah Jin listened to Song Wenyu's words and shook his head again and again, "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”

Song Wenyu looked up at the crescent moon that had just risen in the sky, and suddenly sighed, "I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married." ”

Ah Jin looked at him, and only felt that Song Wenyu's sadness was a little inexplicable, but he didn't know where to start.

Song Wenyu saw that Ah Jin was silent, and when he lowered his head, he saw Ah Jin looking at him thoughtfully, so he smiled and said, "What do you see me doing?" ”

"Nothing." Ah Jin glanced at the beginning and replied in a muffled voice, unwilling to reveal his true emotions.

"Let's go back to the house and have dinner." Song Wenyu grabbed Ah Jin's hand and led her to the east wing.
