Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Loss

Song Shaocan was stunned for a moment, "Sister Chi and Xu Ergongzi's relatives have retired?" When was this? ”

Xia pouted again, "Who knows this?" ”

"Mother, you don't know, the second aunt knows it clearly."

Song Xiaohe put down her chopsticks, took the tea cup offered by the maid, rinsed her mouth, raised her head and pouted, her look was exactly the same as her mother.

Song Shaocan glared at Song Xiaohe and said to the Xia family: "Look at it, it's all taught by you on weekdays, how can anyone say that about the elders."

"Dad, I was wrong." Song Xiaohe's attitude of admitting her mistake is exactly the same as that of her mother Xia, it is very simple, but if she misconfesses it, she admits it and corrects it? That's nothing.

Song Shaocan naturally knows the virtues of his wife and daughter, but he doesn't have time to educate his daughter now, so he asked Xia: "You said that your mother has set a family affair for Sister Chi again?" Whose house is it set? ”

"The Tan family? What is said to be the Tan family in Tan Shi Town? I haven't heard of it, do you know? ”

Xia asked, when she listened to it in Rongsong Courtyard in the morning, she was very surprised by this Tan family who suddenly appeared.

"Master, didn't you see it, that old lady Tan, although she was not conspicuously dressed, but the purple cloak she took off when she entered the door was made of the tribute brocade of the previous year, I saw it on Mrs. Wei."

Xia said with great interest, "You said that the people who can wear tribute brocade should not be ordinary people." ”

"Mrs. Wei? Which Mrs. Wei? Song Shaocan's focus was shifted.

"Oh, isn't it the wife of the former commander." Xia said impatiently.

As soon as she said this, Song Shaocan understood, but he still didn't understand, "When did you meet Mrs. Wei?" ”

Although their family is a Bofu, it is also a defeated Bofu, and they are incapable of commanding the three products to make the adults climb to friendship.

"Where can I know Mrs. Wei, but Mrs. Wei likes to visit the clothing and jewelry store the most, and she loves to show off the most, once I went to Ni Cai Fang to visit, I met Mrs. Wei, and I heard her and another lady next to her said, saying that the autumn fragrance color collared long jacket on her body is the tribute brocade of the Shaode Mansion that year, although the color is different, but the texture, texture and gloss, almost identical, so I recognized it at a glance."

Xia said triumphantly, as soon as she finished speaking, Song Xiaohe said: "Mother, you are talking about the old lady who walked in front of her aunt and grandmother, when she came out of her grandmother's house, I also saw that she was indeed wearing a purple cloak, which was much brighter than that of grandmother, aunt, and aunt, and it was good material at first glance."

The reason why Song Xiaohe did not mention Fang's, Du's and Xia's was because the three of them did not wear cloaks, only thick long jackets, and there was no comparison at all.

Of course, the three of them, except for Fang's, really don't have a thick winter cloak, they naturally had it before, but they were later treated.

The second wife, Du Shi, and the third wife, Xia Shi, still have a few good clothes, and they also have big sweaters and thick cloaks to wear in winter, but they are not easy to wear to Rongsong Courtyard.

"The Tan family who can wear tribute brocade? Could it be his family? ”

Song Shaocan touched his chin and groaned.

"Master knows?" The Xia family immediately came to the spirit, Song Xiaohe's eyes lit up, and even Song Anjin, Song Anjun and Xue were also preoccupied, it was really the Song family that had become more and more defeated in recent years, and those high-ranking officials and magnates were getting farther and farther away, even if they used their best efforts, it was sometimes difficult to receive a banquet invitation from a powerful family.

If you can use Song Xiaochi's family affairs this time to climb to the powerful family again, it will naturally be exciting.

Song Shaocan saw that his wife, concubines, and children all looked like they couldn't wait, but he sold the guanzi, shook his head and said, "I can't be sure about this matter yet, master, and I can't tell you yet."

"Master, you!"

"Daddy......"

The reactions of Xia and Song Xiaohe's mother and daughter were almost identical, and Song Shaocan was overjoyed when he looked at it.

Instead, Xue said in a slow and soft voice: "The master will tell us, if the Tan family is a big family, the wife must have heard of it, since the wife doesn't know, if you want to come to the Tan family, it is not a famous family, at most there is some money."

When the Xue family said this, the Xia family also reacted, she has always been at odds with the Xue family, not because the Xue family offended her, but because there are wives and concubines in this world, and there are few wives and concubines who can get along in harmony, and wives and concubines are natural enemies.

Xia felt that Xue's words were very reasonable, but she would not explicitly agree with Xue, but turned her head and said quite arrogantly: "If the master doesn't want to say it, forget it, the concubine doesn't want to know now."

Song Shaoyan just deliberately hung their appetite, he is in a very good mood now, if his guess is correct, the future in-laws of this eldest niece will ...... Gee...... Even if their Song family can't rise again, with the help of their in-laws, it may not be a problem for these Song family men to find a loose official or idle position.

As for the juniors of San Lang and Shiro, as long as they can be admitted to the fame, of course it is the best to raise people, even if they are Xiucai, with this family business, they can also go to the yamen to seek an official and a half position, even if the official rank is low, it is much better than the current situation where the family is full of idlers.

"I'm just not sure, since you want to know, it's okay to tell you, but don't say this to the outside world yet."

Song Shaocan's old god was there, and when he saw that all the wives and concubines and children nodded, he said: "If I guessed correctly, this Tan family should be the family of Lord Tan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites."

The atmosphere of Liuxiangyuan is harmonious and warm, and I am excited about the benefits that I am likely to get in the future.

Although the atmosphere in the Shengjing Courtyard where the second room of the Song family lives is not as harmonious as Liuxiangyuan, it is not bad, the second master Song Shaohuan took a sip of wine in the glass, and said to his eldest son Song Anzheng: "You have to fight for me, and it is not in vain that your mother ran to Tan Shizhen in the middle of the night last night, just for your errand."

Now that the Tan family has agreed, it is certain that you will be an official in the guard, but the Tan family also said that they can only find you a captain from the eighth grade, if you want to rise again, you have to rely on yourself, if you lie on the eighth grade for the rest of your life, you are sorry for your mother, and you are sorry for your father. ”

Du Shi also followed: "Erlang, what your father said is right, since Ruoshui's girl came to report the news yesterday, your father and I have been running around, almost all night, for fear of being taken advantage of by Song Anming."

In order to persuade your grandmother to quit her family, your father almost broke his mouth when he decided on the Tan family's family business, and this family affair was completed, our family not only did not get a penny of silver, but also posted dozens of taels of silver to your aunt and aunt, otherwise those two who are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, how can they be willing to be lobbyists. ”

"Mother...... You only started planning this yesterday? Song Xiaomu was shocked.

Hearing the youngest daughter ask like this, Song Shaohuan showed a smug look, "This is your father's ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that in this mansion, your father and mother can turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain." ”

"From the perspective of the son, the ability of the father and mother is not limited to the house."

Song Anzheng patted his ass, "Aunt and grandmother, aunt, and the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Tan, as long as my father and mother are willing, yesterday my father and mother were interested, and today people can come to propose marriage, this is not what my father's ability is." ”

Speaking of this, Du Shi said with regret: "I have long known that Mrs. Tan wants to find another family for his second son, and the requirements are high, and she needs to be famous, good looks, good character, and gentle temperament, such a person, you say, even if her eldest son is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, with the character of that Second Master Tan, who is willing to marry her daughter, I have long expected that she will not find such a daughter-in-law, and I am ready to dry her for a while, and then she can raise the price, and the Xu family can also get more benefits if she waits, But now it's a mess...... Alas, it's a big loss. ”
