Chapter 169: I Thought There Were Ghosts
The old lady took her hand and drank, "You wonder why I want to relieve that girl." ”
Mama Cui also said bluntly: "Yes, old lady, didn't you always think that this marriage had wronged the eldest princess, so you have always been not optimistic about the young lady?" ”
The two of them were a little sentimental when they spoke, mentioning Jiang Chuge's life experience, Old Madam Song would think of Emperor Wuding and Empress Wenhui, and couldn't help sighing.
"Let's protect Zhilan's child more in the future, Jingyi probably protected her too well, and didn't let her see the private methods of the house. I don't know how far such a pure child can go, it's just that, since she is the person Shumin cares about, let's just take care of it more! ”
And on Ping Yao's side, she just returned from Songmingyuan to Qingfeng Xiaoyue, where she lived with Song Ling, and greeted her mother-in-law Hua Shi, who had red eyes.
The two faced each other, and Hua respectfully greeted her: "The courtiers have seen the eldest princess!" Say hello to the eldest princess, Ping Yao's eyelids jumped, there must be a demon when something goes wrong. How arrogant the Hua family is usually in front of her, she will actually come out of their courtyard with a red face, and eighty percent of them are the wicked who sue first! ”
Ping Yao quickly helped her up: "Mother-in-law killed me!" ”
As soon as he looked up, he saw Song Ling with a calm face in the courtyard, and Ping Yao chuckled in his heart: "Jingwen is back!" ”
Song Ling didn't have a cold face, but he didn't have a warm face as before, and when he saw his mother away, he gave a faint hum in response, and then went back to the study.
Ping Yao's eyes were red, Song Ling had listened to his mother's cry and shook her face. Sure enough, men can't get used to it.
Although Song Ling is known for his talents, he is not good at handling the affairs of the inner house. Since he was a child, he has only been close to his mother as a woman, not only because his mother has spent the most effort on him, but also because he has had a high vision since he was a child and does not like to be close to people, and ordinary women can't get into his eyes.
This problem was discovered when he was a baby because he did not drink the milk of his nursing mother, and cried day and night. In the end, Mrs. Song had to play in person.
I don't know if it's blood induction or what. Song Ling was so well-behaved in Mrs. Song's arms, this discovery made Mrs. Song happy, and for more than ten years, Song Ling's food, clothing, housing and transportation were maintained by her alone.
But she's. The water was insufficient, and Song Ling didn't eat other people's milk, and his weakness fell at that time. Mrs. Song also blamed herself, she knew that she had to breastfeed her own child, and when she was pregnant, she should have eaten more to make up for it.
Because of her identity, the family is prepared with a nurse, and she feeds the milk herself, the first two sons are raised by the nurse, and the third is naturally the same as the first two. Where did you expect him to be so arrogant.
Until he was five years old, he showed amazing talent, and the maid next to him secretly guarded her: "The young master is so smart, probably because God is jealous of talent, don't blame Madame!" ”
Seeing that her son was getting better and better, Mrs. Song slowly accepted the maid's explanation, maybe she was really jealous of her talent!
Therefore, Song Ling has come into contact with women, except for his mother, only Jiang Chuge, who was under the horse's hooves a few years ago, and Ping Yao, who has been writing to him since then.
It is true that he loves Pingyao, but his love is more inclined to the two of them talking about poetry and painting together, and the red sleeves add fragrance, rather than firewood, rice, oil and salt.
After getting married, although they don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, the contradiction between Ping Yao and his mother also makes him feel uncomfortable. One is his mother, the other is his wife, what can he do.
In addition, he had wronged his mother by asking to marry Ping Yao regardless of the previous one, so he only asked Ping Yao to endure and forbear. At home, he looks virtuous, why can't he help but hold the princess's shelf as soon as he arrives in the palace?
Song Ling smiled sarcastically, just now when she saw that her arrogant mother was blushing and bowing her knees to Ping Yao, he was a big man and couldn't stand it.
Speaking of which, he is used to being sought after, and he is a little arrogant, so how can he be willing to admit that Ping Yao's identity is higher than him. He also doesn't want to see his family respectful to Pingyao, he wants both a confidant with extraordinary bearing and a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law!
Ping Yao stood in the courtyard for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Coral Agate persuaded her to go back to the room one by one: "The winter wind is strong, and if the princess continues to cry, this face should be white!" ”
Ping Yao was like a stone statue, standing in the courtyard fixedly, as if she hadn't heard any persuasion from the two maids. In his mind, he went over and over again the words of his mother, the words of the eldest sister and the words of Mrs. Song.
It's not yet Layue, and it's okay to move to the princess's mansion for the New Year, I'm afraid that Song Ling will want to stay at home for the New Year.
Song Xiang is not afraid, before getting married, Sister Jiang Chuge repaired the princess's mansion, what it means is self-evident. After getting married, he also took care of her, obviously waiting for her to go back to live.
But she rashly brought it up, for fear that it would leave a bad impression in Song Xiang's heart, and for a while, she hesitated. She was hesitating, and she heard a violent cough in the study, and at this moment, Ping Yao couldn't care about the battle between heaven and man, so she pulled her legs and ran to the study.
Song Ling was not in good health, and he had been carefully recuperated before. But he gets sick once before the change of seasons, that is, he gets sick all year round.
This time it was just an ordinary cough, but in Ping Yao's ears, it was extremely harsh.
Ping Yao entered the house and went to Gu Song Ling first to care for him and smooth his back, while Coral Agate went to work on the brazier.
The brazier was booming, Song Ling's anger was smoothed, and the two maids consciously retreated.
Song Ling climbed Ping Yao's hand, his face pale: "Don't worry about your mother, she has a temper check ......"
Before she finished speaking, Ping Yao's tears fell, not like Mrs. Song's fake crying, but silently crying. Tears fell on Song Ling's hands, and Song Ling's heart was shocked.
Ping Yao only said: "You didn't ask me what happened, just listen to my mother's words...... Why don't you ask me if I've been wronged! There was no sound, and Song Ling couldn't speak for a long time!
Although Xiangzhu and the others are now from Chuxiu Palace, when it comes to Jiang Chuge, they are all hands-on and never fake people.
Today's rest, Jiang Chuge rarely has to get up early, but as soon as the palace starts to make noise, she doesn't care at all.
As soon as Jiang Chuge moved, Ruju opened the curtain and came in, yesterday was her night, and she had to get up and open the window every half an hour. So she barely slept much.
"The princess is going to rise? But I was woken up by a voice outside! ”
Jiang Chuge nodded: "No, the palace is so lively early in the morning!" ”
"Yes, Princess Qinghe's wedding is coming, and the palace is busy! Although the dowry is not much, there are also a lot of trivial things up and down! Even the eldest princess Jingyi also entered the palace to help! ”
Jiang Chuge bowed his head: "You go down to rest, let Yimei come in and serve, you have patronized me this night!" ”
Ruju was not hypocritical, and said: "The slave maid will serve the princess first and clean her face, and then go down when Yimei comes over!" The slave is very clumsy, and the slave and maid really can't do the matter of combing their hair and makeup! ”
knows that Ru Ju doesn't like to be quiet, it's not that she is stupid and can't put on makeup, but that among her big palace maids, each has her own strengths. Yimei did a good job of taking care of Jiang Chuge's diet and daily life, and a few people didn't bother in this regard!
Jiang Chuge laughed at her a few words, Yimei opened the curtain and came in, Ruju called Qian'er to retire, and Yimei took over her business and combed Jiang Chuge's hair and makeup.
"The eldest princess Jingyi has entered the palace, and the eldest princess Pingyao has also come, and the slave maid looked at her with a good face, thinking that she had not suffered any grievances in the Song family recently."
Jiang Chuge smiled knowingly: "I have asked the ancestor of the Song family to take care of her, I guess I won't suffer any grievances." If she suffers any more grievances, it will be her own deplorability. If that's the case, Bengong doesn't have to help him, although they are sisters, they are noble and self-respecting. ”
Yi Mei stopped talking, and pulled her hair in a bun for Jiang Chuge.
Jiang Chuge packed up and came out, and Xiangzhu was already waiting outside the door: "Princess, there is good news!" ”
"What's the good news?"
"It's news from the southwest, the king of Qingjun sent a message back, saying that Xiyue has been pacified!"
Jiang Chuge was overjoyed: "Really? Give me the letter! ”
Xiang Zhu responded with a smile, took out two letters from his sleeve and presented them to Jiang Chuge. Among the two letters, one was written by the king of Qingjun, mainly talking about the military situation in the southwest.
He said that because of Qin Ying's appearance, he solved his urgent need. But Xi Yue would not have calmed down so quickly, and it was also because of Xi Yue's internal contradictions, so he split them up. captured King Xi Yue, this is the temporary end of the war, as soon as King Xi Yue falls, the other kings will not be able to become a climate.
With the Southwest Guard, it was only a matter of time before they were picked up.
The other letter was written by Junlan, who said that she saw the woman who resembled the Chen family who had been robbed on the road before on the battlefield.
The situation in the southwest is complicated, she is afraid that if she loses it, she will not be able to find it again, so she will go to investigate, and she is afraid that she will not be able to return to Beijing for the New Year this year.
Jiang Chuge frowned.
"What's the matter, princess, but what happened to Junlan?" Xiangzhu's voice fluctuated slightly? They all grew up together, and the feelings are naturally incomparable.
Jiang Chuge shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that she said that she was going to find out about the woman who resembled the Chen family, and the palace always felt uneasy." She will see her on the battlefield, which means that the other party has an inseparable relationship with the Xiyue royal family.
Now that I think about it, it is not an accident that the Chen family will be taken back to the palace by the imperial brother. The situation in the southwest is complicated, she is alone outside, and the palace is uneasy! ”
The several palace maids around Jiang Chuge, except for no one, have their own strengths, but they were all dead soldiers of the Feiyan Camp in the past. Because of his outstanding ability, he was selected by Empress Wenhui to accompany Jiang Chuge. When they were young, they practiced martial arts with her, and it was their duty to track down the news, but when she was alone, Jiang Chuge couldn't rest assured.
And that woman is elusive, even the Chen family can be taken out of the palace. It can be seen that the other party's ability is not small, and he is in other people's territory, and in the end, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
Xiangzhu said: "Then do you want to pick a few people to go to the southwest, so that you can help her from the side?" ”
Jiang Chuge responded: "Pick a few clever ones!" ”
Xiang Zhu naturally picked it up: "Does the princess suspect that the Chen family and the others are Xi Yue's secret stakes?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not just a dark pile, this one has entered the palace of Qi State, and the one can go to the battlefield again, I don't think it's an ordinary dark pile! It's good to check it out, and pick a few more competent people to help her. ”
While worrying about Junlan, Jiang Chuge was a little looking forward to it, King Qingjun was coming back, Qin Ying ...... I'm coming back too. Jiang Chuge thought that he had made great contributions several times, and he had worked hard, but she had never given him any reward.
is also because he is a businessman, a farmer and a businessman, and in the upper class, the gap between household registrations is much larger than that of ordinary people. The Qin family is a business member, and it is not simple to change it to an official membership.
He couldn't change his household registration, and the Qin family was not short of gold and silver property, and Jiang Chuge couldn't think of anything to reward him.
Moreover, she privately did not want the Qin family to join the ranks. After all, now the Qin family is already the richest man in the Qi country, and the rich rival country has a deep foundation, if someone enters the office, it is inevitable that it will not become bigger and become a threat to the royal family.
Besides, Qin Ying is not the person in charge of the Qin family for the time being, she is not at ease with Qin Ying but not at ease with others. If the Qin family does bad things under the banner of Qin Ying at that time, it will be really disgusting!

Su Lingqiao was busy preparing for marriage, and the eldest princess Jingyi helped for a day. The dinner was served in Jiang Chuge's palace, and during the banquet, Jingyi talked about Ping Yao.
