Meng Lianfeng's eyes were bright, and he looked at the Song Painting Temple unwillingly.

His father personally named the Song Painting Temple as the third brother's third princess, and his slap will not only offend Song Taifu, but also make his father's face unbearable.

forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and was silent for a long time.

"Good! Good! What a sharp-toothed third miss of Song Mansion, what a stupid and stupid fourth miss of Song Mansion! Hmph, dare to throw away the jade pendant given to the king by his father, and today the king will look at the face of the third brother and spare her life. But if one day, the two of you fall into the hands of this king, you won't have such good luck! Meng Lianfeng gritted his teeth and said.

Song Qiaoshu tugged at the sleeve of the Song Painting Temple, ordered her to kneel down together, and said respectfully: "Courtier, thank you for the kindness of the five princes!" The ancestral hall is young and ignorant, and the courtiers apologize to the five princes on her behalf. ”

"Humph!" Meng Lianfeng wiped the saliva on his face in disgust and brushed his sleeves away.

"Fifth Prince, you must not be like the two of them. It's really that no one cares about these two people on weekdays, and they are used ......to being wild," Song Zhiyao said with added vinegar.

Meng Lianfeng just hummed lightly, and left quickly, even losing interest in Song Zhiyao.

Looking at his back, Song Zhiyao clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Idiot! The face of the Song Mansion has been lost by the two of you! Watch me go back and tell my father about it, and watch your skin! She could have taken this opportunity to say a few more words to the five princes, but because of the Song Painting Temple, the five princes were angry, how could she not hate it in her heart?

When Song Qiaoshu heard this, her heart sank, and she hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, if it weren't for your malicious instigation, how could the fifth prince say those words to the fourth sister?" We are a family, and the eldest sister keeps saying that it is for the face of her father and the reputation of the Song Mansion. But what you have just done is to slander your sister and please others. When will you keep your father and Song Mansion in mind? If Daddy knows about this, you won't be able to escape the blame! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Song Zhiyao's face changed, and she scolded sharply.

At the same time, she also thought carefully in her heart, Song Qiaoshu's words were not completely unreasonable, just now she only thought about watching the jokes of Song Huaci, but she didn't expect to be caught by Song Qiaoshu.

Song Zhiyao raised her head and said with a sneer: "Hmph, don't think that these few simple words will scare me. Even in front of Daddy, Daddy may not believe you! ”

Song Qiaoshu's heart trembled slightly, she was afraid that she would make a big deal out of it, and it was really in front of her father, and it was also the ancestral hall that was at fault.

She barely stabilized her mind and said with a slight smile: "Daddy may really not believe my words, but he will not believe the words of outsiders!" Eldest sister, there are a lot of servant girls in and out of here, if it really spreads, will it be beneficial to you? ”

Song Zhiyao was shocked, looked around, and really saw that there were monks sweeping the floor not far away, and some little maids wearing red and green were shuttling back and forth.

"Humph! I know that you are not simple, you deliberately pretend to be weak on weekdays, and I want my father to sympathize with you, but it's a pity...... Daddy is wise and powerful, and he has already seen through your plan! I won't tell Daddy about this, but you two also have to take care of your mouths, and if you leak the slightest rumor, you will never let you two go! We'll see! Song Zhiyao put down a cruel word, and walked out quickly while everyone was not paying attention to it.

The Song Painting Temple has long since returned to its normal color, with a calm face, and there is still a trace of cunning in the bottom of the eyes.

"Sister, you see, if we are really strong, she may not have a way to cure us."

For Song Qiaoshu's changes, Song Huaci was a little surprised in his heart, but more than that, he was happy. Since she woke up, she saw her delicate side, but she didn't expect that she would dare to threaten Song Zhiyao for her own sake.

A smile rolled up at the corner of her mouth, and she took Song Qiaoshu's hand and said seductively.

Song Qiaoshu shook her head, held her heart with her hand, and said softly: "I don't know where you learned these crooked theories. Today, I was so worried that I had the audacity to say such a thing. Ancestral Hall, do you promise my sister that it's okay, don't provoke Mrs. and eldest sister in the future. There are also people with such honorable status as the Five Princes...... I am afraid day and night, lest they become more intense and persecute you......"

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Song Huaci could understand that her thinking had not changed, but she was confident and had a lot of time.

"Sister, my mother's death is a living example, they bullied us like this, I can't swallow this breath no matter what. If my sister doesn't want to do it, the ancestral hall will never force you, but if I want to bow my head and surrender to Yao's mother and daughter, I will definitely not agree! Song Huaci stared at her eyes tightly and said in a firm tone.

Song Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, sighed heavily, Song Qiaoshu nodded the tip of her nose a little helplessly, and said earnestly: "Alas, you stubborn temperament, I don't know who you are with?" Let's go, Madame is still waiting for us outside. ”

Along the way, there was nothing to do, and I returned to the Song Mansion smoothly.

I had long expected that Song Zhiyao would not give up, and sure enough, there was a moth that night.

Xia He went to the kitchen to get the food and came back, his body was covered with carbon ash, not to mention, there were clear slap marks on his face.

"Fourth Miss, all slaves and maids are useless, and the slaves and maids went late, so they only brought back a bowl of rice porridge." Xia He's eyes were red and he said timidly.

Song Huaci looked at half a bowl of rice porridge, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "Don't get in the way, such a day won't be a few days away." Xia He, come here, I tell you something......"

As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered a few words in Xia He's ear.

I saw the boss with Xia He's eyes glaring, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Within two days, Mrs. Song went down to the morning court, and when he came back, he was angry and his face was pale.

called Yao into the study and scolded him for his head and face.

"Are your eyelids that shallow? Even if you don't like Qiao Shu and the painting shrine anymore, you can't treat them harshly. Do you know that earlier this morning, I was ginseng? Mrs. Song's face turned red with anger, pointed at Yao's forehead, and scolded him sharply.

Yao's heart suddenly became nervous, and Nuo Nuo said: "Master, concubine...... The concubine didn't treat them harshly. Why did they join the old man's book? ”

"Huh! Are you too embarrassed to ask me why? Mrs. Song rolled her eyes angrily, "Hmph, don't think that you did those things, I don't know." I'm just turning a blind eye, but you've gone too far lately! At present, the situation in the DPRK is weird, which official is not cautious. What's more, I'm for ......"

Mrs. Song paused for a moment and said: "The notorious mistreatment of concubines has spread, and when someone with a heart heard this, he wrote an excerpt and reported it to the saint. The painting shrine is already the third princess appointed by the saint, and she will marry in a few months, why do you still have to embarrass her at this juncture? The Holy One personally asked, do you know how many people are waiting to see my jokes in the court today? ”

Yao's face was blue for a while, white for a while. My back was sweating, and my heart was trembling.

"The old man is angry, it's all the negligence of the concubine, and the concubine will definitely find out which few cheap hooves in the house are broken......"

"Enough! If you don't know how to run a house, I'll find someone else! Think for yourself! Mrs. Song interrupted her and said coldly.

Yao's heart jumped, and he immediately knelt down and said timidly: "Concubine...... The concubine must follow the master's instructions and punish those slaves who deduct the master's degree! ”

What she thought was a clever plan touched Mrs. Song's bottom line. He has always loved to value face and reputation in officialdom, and he was damaged by Yao's nonsense, so it's no wonder if he doesn't get angry!

Just after lunch, Cuiwei Garden, where the Song Painting Temple lived, became lively.

More than a dozen maids carried five or six large boxes in their hands, which were filled with precious medicinal materials such as silk and satin, rare bird's nest, and entered the fish.

Xia He was almost stunned, with a happy smile on his face, looking at the Song Painting Temple, but he admired her incomparably in his heart.

Mother Lin, who was in charge of Yao's side, walked in front, and after seeing the Song Painting Temple, she said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, these are the most popular fabrics that Mrs. bought from the most famous silk shop in Beijing and used them to make clothes for you. And these bird's nests are all used to replenish your body......"

Song Huaci bowed slightly, with a smile on his face, walked behind Mother Lin, and looked at getting some brand-new satin cloth. Reaching out and lifting the upper layer, it revealed its original appearance.

It turned out that this Yao family was always unwilling, and only used a good layer of cloth as a cover. Not to mention the old-fashioned color of the silk below, it is not at all something that can be used at her age.

Mother Lin saw her looking through the fabric below, and her heart tightened. I just thought that she was still the stupid Fourth Miss, so she hurriedly walked over and said coathingly: "Come on, Fourth Miss, what is this?" Madame ordered people to run all over the capital in order to buy these preserves you love to eat! ”

Song Huaci sneered in his heart, this Yao clan even did such ordinary kung fu on the surface, did he really fool her like a fool?

She glanced at Xia He, and the little girl immediately understood. Suddenly he turned out of the bottom of the box, pretending to be surprised and said loudly, "Oops! Mother Lin, is this kind of cloth really given to Miss by Madame? I'm afraid that even we maids can't look down on this material, why did you give it to Miss? ”

Seeing this, Mother Lin's face changed suddenly, a burst of qi and blood surged, and her brain buzzed.

This is indeed what Mrs. told her to give to the Song Painting Temple, just to let Mother Lin coax her to accept it. In the future, even if you find that there is something bad underneath, you can only be dumb and can't say that you have bitterness in eating Coptis chinensis.

But this is good, but I was recognized by this little maid next to the Song Painting Temple.

Mother Lin's eyes widened, staring at Xia He tightly, and she said sharply: "You are a wild girl, what do you know?" This is all carefully selected by the lady before asking the slave to send it to the young lady. Don't be talking nonsense here! ”

Song Huaci sat quietly on the side, watching Mother Lin act. There was a smile on his face, holding a celadon teacup in his hand, calm and relaxed.

Xia He saw that there was a young lady to support him, and he suddenly had confidence in his heart, and pointed to Mother Lin's nose and said, "I think it's your nonsense!" Even if my eyes are not good, I am better than Mother Lin. This is obviously shoddy material, but don't let your mother Lin secretly change the material sent by Mrs., and finally splash dirty water on Mrs. Lin! Let's go to the master to judge the reason! ”

When Mother Lin heard this, her heart sank, she squatted on the ground, and at the same time pulled Xia He's sleeve, and comforted: "You girl, you're too frizzy!" It's just such a trivial matter, you have to make trouble in front of the master, if you let outsiders know, you really think that there are no rules in our Song Mansion! ”

Xia He didn't follow, and dragged Mother Lin to say in a solemn voice: "Hmph, I think it's your Mother Lin who doesn't take the rules of this Song Mansion as rules!" As a caring person next to Mrs., you dare to frame Mrs. I can't see where the master will reveal your true face! ”

"Don't ...... Don't pull it, maybe I'm really mistaken! Let me go back again and take stock...... Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, stop it! Mother Lin looked at Xia He's posture, as if she really wanted to pull her to see Mrs. Song, and her attitude suddenly softened.

The errand that Yao gave her, she didn't say anything about it, if it really came to the front of the master, where would she put her old face? The old man was angry, and there was a possibility that he would drive her out of the Song Mansion.

Song Huaci saw that the goal had been achieved, so he smiled and said, "Xia He, help Mother Lin up!" ”

Xia He glared at Mother Lin angrily, snorted heavily, and dragged her up from the ground.

Mother Lin boldly looked at Song Huaci's face carefully, isn't the fourth lady stupid?

It can be seen that her eyes are staring directly at those candied fruits drooling, smiling, and she is suddenly relieved.

Mother Lin went back dejectedly, and when Yao saw that the things were not sent, she naturally scolded Yao fiercely.

But Song Taifu has already put down her words, if she deducts the food and clothing of the Song Painting Temple again, the power to preside over the feed will be taken away from her. When it comes to the duck in her mouth, she must not let others take it away.

So, I had to endure the pain and cut my love, and picked some good ones to send over to block the mouths of Youyou.

The treatment of Song Huaci and Song Qiaoshu in the Song Mansion was much better, and the Yao family suffered a big loss, and they didn't come to trouble them for several days.

The fifth prince secretly ordered Song Taifu to hold a banquet at his home and invited some noble children in Beijing to participate, in order to attract some useful people to his command.

In order to organize this feast, Yao's feet were busy and did not sleep well for several days.

Finally the day came, early in the morning, the Song Mansion opened the door of the house, hung red lanterns high, and put up lanterns, so festive.

Mrs. Song was dressed in black civilian clothes and had gold silk tracks tied around her waist. The jet-black thick hair stood high with a jade crown.

looks elegant, and the smile adds a bit of gentleness. He talked very happily with the people who came to the Song Mansion.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived!" The little guy guarding the door sang loudly, and all the guests suddenly figured down, put down the wine cup in their hands, bowed and saluted, and greeted Meng Lianfeng's arrival.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has come, which really makes the Song Mansion shine!" Mrs. Song stepped forward with a smile and said hello.

Meng Lianfeng was wearing a dark brocade robe, with high boots inlaid with gemstones, with a smile on his face, he strode in, and said with a loud smile: "Hahahahaha...... Song Taifu doesn't have to be polite, I heard that a banquet was held in your mansion, so this king came to join in the fun. You don't have to be formal, this is not in the palace, you don't have to care about etiquette. ”

Song Mansion has gathered a lot of young talents, and some of them are young sons who are famous on this year's scientific examination list.

Seeing that Meng Lianfeng was so approachable, they were all bold and stepped forward to talk.

For a while, the banquet in the Song Mansion was extremely lively, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.

This year's new champion, Meng Lianfeng, and Song Taifu sat at the same table, I don't know what to say, and the faces of the three of them were full of smiles.

At this moment, the little servant sang another report: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived!" ”

Song Taifu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, he didn't invite the third prince. Why is he here too?

Meng Lianfeng heard this, and a trace of yin owl crossed his eyes, and he clenched the cup in his hand. His eyes were glued to the doorway, and he sneered in his heart.

After a while, I saw a man with a face like jade, long eyebrows flying obliquely into his temples, like a fairy, sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by the guards behind him, slowly reflecting people's field of vision.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" And they stood up and saluted.
