Chapter 122: Old Lady Song (I)

At the behest of the British duchess, Snow Goose and her mother-in-law, who had just knelt on the ground, hurriedly stood up.

Because the British duchess specially instructed the snow goose to deploy the secret guard, the other mothers-in-law who were waiting for them bowed and withdrew from the house.

Snow Goose stayed in the house, and planned to ask the Duchess of England a few more words.

"Madam, if the lord asks, what is Madam doing with these secret guards in the Xuguo Mansion, how should the slave and maid answer? Shouldn't I tell the truth about this matter to the master? ”

"On that day, it was Miss Xu Hui from the Duke of Xu's Mansion who asked someone to assassinate Ma Pozi, and asked someone to disguise herself as Ma Pozi, and took Song Er's girl to the abandoned house in Taolin?"

The British duchess thought for a long time, but still replied. "If the master asks, just tell the master about the ins and outs of this matter!"

Snow Goose got the order, and went down with the maid who was waiting in the house.

After a while, a maid came to report that Mrs. Chen's wife was here.

Today, Mrs. Chen made an appointment with the British Duchess to meet in order to discuss the marriage of the little girl of the British Duchess and the second son of the Chen family.

……

In Jiyuan Temple outside the city, the old lady of the Song family, Gui, is meditating in the wing room in the backyard of the Buddhist temple.

Because Jiyuan Temple is a famous place to ask for immortals, all year round, there will be a lot of old ladies of the family, Lao An people come over, one is to have a meal, and the other is to invite the master of Zenguang of Jiyuan Temple to talk about the scriptures for a few days.

If one of them enlightens ginseng and realizes something, he will stay in the temple and accompany the monks and masters in the temple to ask for immortals together.

And the old lady of the Song Dynasty, Gui, realized something in the temple and continued to stay in Jiyuan Temple, accompanied the great monks to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and asked for immortals.

Yesterday, Song Huiqiao went to Song's house, and today Song Dad recalled that he had lived in Jiyuan Temple for a long time, and asked the old lady Song who asked for immortals, and specially instructed the Zhao family to let the Zhao family take Song Jin to Jiyuan Temple today, meet the old lady, and ask her how good she has been in recent days, but what she lacks is short.

The Song family only has two carriages, because the other carriage is used by Father Song to enter the palace on an errand, so Zhao and Song Jin went out today, and the two plus the two servants who were waiting could only be squeezed into one carriage.

The space in the carriage was already small, and now it was crowded with four people, and it was even hotter.

Today, the one who followed Song Jin to Jiyuan Temple was Fuyuan.

The injury on Bai He's back has not healed, and he can't get up these days, so Fu Hui has been waiting by Song Jin's side for the past two days.

Fu Hui opened the curtain of the car, and Mrs. Li, who was waiting beside Zhao, hurriedly poured out two chilled lotus seed soups and put them on the small table between Zhao and Song Jin.

"Madam, girl, this lotus seed soup was made by the mother-in-law on the stove yesterday evening. Knowing that the lady and the girl were going out early this morning, the mother-in-law chilled the lotus seed soup in the well water yesterday, and let the lady and the girl eat on the road early this morning. ”

Picking up a lotus seed soup on the small table, Song Jin only felt that the wall of the bowl was cold and cold, and it looked like it had been in the well water all night.

Just a few bites, a small bowl of lotus seed soup, and it will be eaten.

Seeing Song Jin licking the bowl as he ate, Mrs. Li hurriedly took out another bowl from the food box and handed it to Song Jin in front of him.

"If the girl likes it, it's enough."

Since Mrs. Li said that there is still one, she is disrespectful, so eat hard!

The Bibo wing room in the backyard of Jiyuan Temple is the meditation room of the old lady of the Song family.

Just after lunch in the temple, the little novice came over with a plate of fruit, saying that it had been offered in front of the Buddha, and the master asked a few little novices to bring it to the nobles who asked for immortals in Jiyuan Temple, and let people bring it.

Grandma Sun took the fruit and was about to take it and rinse it, but was stopped by the old lady of the Song family, Gui.

"Old lady, there is some fragrant ash on it, the old slave will take it down and wash it for you, and eat it after washing."

"Isn't your washing of all the blessings offered in front of the Buddha gone? Someone should wipe me with a handkerchief, and bring it to me to eat! ”

Because of staying in Jiyuan Temple for a long time, Mrs. Gui's face became more and more cordial and kind.

Although it is a meditation in Jiyuan Temple, the clothes of Mrs. Gui are still the dress of a noble lady of the family.

He was wearing a half-new summer cloth robe, embroidered with exquisite treasure patterns, combed into a round bun, hairpins with a few pomegranate grape hostas, and a pair of heavy red gold bracelets on his wrists, and a few rubies the size of rice beads were inlaid on the bracelets.

Serving by the side of Mrs. Song is the grandmother-in-law who has been serving her for many years, the former housekeeper of the Song Mansion, but now when she arrives in this Bibo wing, she has also become the head of the wing.

The little maid came up with the cleaned fruit and placed it on the high table beside Mrs. Song, who picked up a fruit on the plate and immediately nibbled it regardless of the image.

While gnawing, he asked the grandmother next to him.

"Yesterday, Xian'er handed me a message, saying that the Zhao family would lead Jin'er to come and see me today, to see what time it was outside, why haven't you come here yet."

Grandma Sun smiled on her face, beckoned a maid to go outside and asked the little novice who was in charge of sweeping.

When the little maid came back, she said that she didn't ask what time it was, but she brought someone in.

The maid took Song Huiqiao outside the house, and when she was about to go in, Song Huiqiao broke in.

Rushing to the knees of Old Madam Song, Song Huiqiao suddenly knelt on the ground and began to complain.

"Mother! You must be in charge of your daughter! Now that Song Xian has married a daughter-in-law and has a girl's son, he has forgotten his sister! ”

"Yesterday, I went to the Song Mansion to discuss the marriage of Yulang and the Sheng family girl of Yongchang Bofu with the Zhao family, and I wanted the Zhao family to accompany me to the Sheng family and talk about this marriage."

But instead of refusing, she also instructed Jin'er to teach me! I really don't have the face, so I call my niece, in front of so many maids and servants, and teach me without any scruples! ”

After Song Huiqiao finished speaking mournfully, Mrs. Song opened her mouth.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't Yulang just get engaged to the girl of the Su family, why did he involve the Sheng family of Yongchang Bofu? Also, Yulang is the son of the Pyeongchang Bofu, how can you let the Zhao family accompany you to the matchmaker? ”

Old Madam Song knew what kind of virtue she was as a girl, so she wouldn't listen to what she said, and she wouldn't believe what she just said.

As soon as I came in, I cried mournfully for a while, but I was afraid that I would not be happy anymore when others listened.

Grandma Sun personally picked up Song Huiqiao, who was kneeling under Mrs. Song's knees, and moved the embroidery stool over and waited for her to sit down.

"Mother, the marriage between Yulang and the Su family has been blown. The girl of the Su family dislikes that my Yulang has no fame, and has already made a marriage with another family. ”

"A few days ago, Yulang went to the street, and fell in love with the Sheng girl at first sight on the street, and when he came back, he told me that he wanted to marry the Sheng girl."

"After I inquired in many ways, I learned that Mrs. Yongchangbo and the Zhao family were old acquaintances, and wanted to invite the Zhao family to accompany me to the Yongchang Bo Mansion to talk about this marriage, but the Zhao family refused to say anything."

Song Huiqiao didn't dare to deceive Mrs. Song, so she still picked up a few important words and told Mrs. Song.

"Yulang is almost thirty years old, and he has no opinion on his marriage, waiting for you to handle it. What if the Zhao family and Mrs. Yongchangbo are old acquaintances, is it possible that Mrs. Yongchangbo will approve this marriage if she sees that Zhao and her are old acquaintances?"

Hearing what Old Madam Song said here, Song Huiqiao raised her eyes and glanced at Old Madam Song in front of her, and said busily.

"Mother, Yulang is also the nephew of Zhao and his younger brother, and his marriage, logically speaking, should be decided by a few relatives!"

Before coming to Jiyuan Temple, Song Huiqiao thought that after listening to her complaints, Mrs. Song would stand by her side and help her speak.

Who knows, instead of standing on her side, Mrs. Song reprimanded her a few words.

Now that she continues to talk about it, she is afraid that she will anger Mrs. Song.

"Yulang is an uncompetitive child, why is he approaching thirty and has not yet married a wife and had children?"

"Why are others famous, but Yulang is idle every day, and he has no shape. Not to mention Jinshi, it is to lift people, and Yulang does not have it. It is normal for the girl of the Su family to look down on him. ”

"Yongchang Bofu is a hereditary entitlement, the girl in their family has always been a talented, how can she look down on Yulang?"

"If the Zhao family really accompanied you to the Yongchang Bofu to talk about the matchmaker, if you didn't refuse, it would be fine, if you refused, I was afraid that this old face for your mother would be lost to you." Old Madam Song pretended not to see Song Huiqiao, whose face was getting ugly, and said bluntly.

Hearing Old Madam Song say this, Song Huiqiao's face became more and more difficult to look at.

What's going on?

Why did even my mother stand on the side of others this time?

"Mother, Yulang is your grandson after all! His life's event, you should always help him, so that Yulang can marry a wife and have children as soon as possible! ”
