Chapter 136: Quarrel
As for the princess Zhao Rumei's side, the night was not very easy, although everything went very smoothly, but in the face of such a terrible opponent, Zhao Rumei was in a trance, and only then did she understand how beautiful the place she lived in and how simple she was.
"Princess, you should rest early, this matter is going well, and the second lady is not moving."
Zhao Rumei's maid saw that her mood was not very high, so she comforted.
And Zhao Rumei pulled the maid to sit down together, and said: "When you get married in the future, I will definitely give you a large sum of silver, so don't look for any high-ranking officials and nobles, find an ordinary person, and the two of them will carry the old man with white heads." β
The maid's face was slightly red, and she said, "Princess, what's wrong with you today, I don't want to marry yet." β
"Silly girl, this woman is this fate, how can she not get married, she has to find someone to rely on."
"The princess is my support, and I will accompany you all my life."
Zhao Rumei smiled lightly and said, "I don't want you to leave me, but I can't be so selfish." β
"Princess, what's wrong with you, are you going to send me away?"
Zhao Rumei shook his head and said: "Naturally I didn't mean that, I just suddenly had a feeling, in this officialdom, too many people can't help themselves, and I can't choose a lot of things, even if I am a princess, I have to obey the arrangement." β
"And you, you're different, although you're a maid, you're very free, as long as you become an ordinary person, you can choose whoever you want."
The maid saw that Zhao Rumei was in a depressed mood, and comforted: "You are in the blessing and don't know the blessing, you are a princess, I don't know how difficult it is to be an ordinary person, first of all, it's not like you waiting to eat, drink, and wait for people to serve, everything has to be done by yourself, if you are not diligent, you will even be starved to death." β
"And this kind of thing, how can you starve to death?"
The maid explained: "If there is a drought, you will not be able to eat food, and those who have some money can buy some, and if you don't have money, you will naturally starve to death." This is a part of this, and there will be many things in life, such as the inaction of local officials, forced labor, forced food, and you have no choice. β
"Then you can go and sue me."
"If you go to sue, you may be killed if you don't walk half the way, so the life of ordinary people is not as comfortable as you think, as a princess, although many things are arranged, but you can enjoy the life of fine clothes and food."
Zhao Rumei sighed and said: "It turns out that all this is not what I imagined, everyone's life is too difficult, only a positive life is the most correct path." β
The maid nodded.
The master and servant chatted a few more times before falling asleep.
And Song Jiayao is reading a book, she has been busy with the affairs of the Lin Mansion recently, and she has read a lot less books, so she must make up for it this time, Song Jiayao was thinking about it and heard a movement in the courtyard.
Song Jiayao didn't need to look to know that Nangong Jin must be here, because apart from him, no one will visit late at night.
She got dressed and walked out of the door, and saw Nangong Jin sitting on the eaves, and when she saw Song Jiayao coming out, she flew down and said, "What, I have a heart." β
"You are poor, you have been exposed, and it is difficult to hear such a big movement."
Nangong Jin changed her usual serious appearance and said with a smile: "I naturally did it on purpose." β
The two of them casually exchanged a few witty words, and then both sat down on the steps of the courtyard.
"I heard that I've been very busy lately, and I've been in and out of the Lin Mansion several times, what big things have you done?"
"What to do, you must have a clear understanding."
"How can I understand what you're doing?"
Song Jiayao slapped Nangong Jin and said, "You think I don't know, you sent someone to me." β
"Hehe, it seems that the martial arts of this group of people have declined, and I will deal with them when I go back."
Song Jiayao was not annoyed, just sat quietly, and said after a long time: "Do you say that children are so important?" β
"Naturally, it is important, and it is not important to pass on the lineage."
"But isn't it unfair that a woman should be spit on if she can't have children?"
Nangong Jin thought for a while and said: "This world is inherently unfair, for example, the emperor can hold great power, and the people will be bullied at will, as a woman, she has her instinct to do this, why not use it, don't do it, don't pass on the ancestry." β
"But there are some people she doesn't have a choice, she was born without this function, but she is a woman."
"Then consider yourself unlucky, no one wants a hen that can't lay eggs."
When Song Jiayao heard this, she was very angry and said, "Is it true that women are born to have children, why do women have to suffer all this." β
"That's what a woman is supposed to do, there's no why, the sun just rises in the east, and you have to ask why?"
"You're just unreasonable."
The two talked and quarreled, Nangong Jin felt that Song Jiayao was a little inexplicable, and Song Jiayao felt that Nangong Jin had no reason, and the two broke up unhappily.
Song Jiayao lay on the bed angrily and didn't sleep all night.
And Nangong Jin was drunk and came to Zheng Dai, but Zheng Dai hadn't slept yet.
"Master Hou, why do you seem to be in a displeasure?"
"Do you say that women should have children, is that wrong?"
Zheng Dai hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it is right. β
Listening to Zheng Dai's words, Nangong Jin became even more angry and firmly believed that she was right.
Seeing Nangong Jin's anger, Zheng Dai tried to persuade him: "Master Hou, don't be angry, have a cup of tea." β
"Tea is free, you can tell me about the recent situation in the Plains Country."
Zheng Dai knew that this was Nangong Jin who was angry and had nowhere to vent, so she was looking for something, but she had no choice but to say: "Most of the spies in the Plains Country have been eradicated, and some stubborn ones have not been found out, and it will probably take some time." β
"It's been so long, it's going to take time, what are you going to do?"
Nangong Jin roared loudly, stabilized after the roar, and after a pause, he said, "Hurry up, those spies won't give you time." β
Zheng Dai has never seen such an angry Nangong Jin, he has always been calm on weekdays, but today I am afraid that he will quarrel with Song Jiayao, this is a woman's intuition.
Recently, the people in the court were panicked, and heard that the emperor Zhao Yue was going to carry out a change, and some officials were about to be forced to retire, among which the supervisors had a civil official and a military attachΓ©, all of whom were relatives of the emperor, namely Song Feng and Lin An.
Zhao Yue thought that the two of them were relatives of the emperor and the country, and they had a lot of achievements on weekdays, so it was relieved to hand them over.
Zhao Yue let the two enter the palace to discuss matters, Song Feng has a lot of opinions about Lin An because of Song Jiaqi's matter, and Lin Anzhong has a lot of ideas, if the two can get along in harmony, his position will be more stable, or a step further, because Song Feng is a military attache after all.
No matter how powerful this civil official is, he doesn't have a single soldier, and no matter how bad this military attache is, he can transfer some manpower.
"Father-in-law, please first."
Lin An politely stretched out his hand and motioned for Song Feng to enter the palace, Song Feng snorted coldly and walked ahead.
Lin An was not discouraged, and said as he walked towards the conference hall: "Father-in-law, how are you doing recently?" β
There was a stammering flavor of this tone.
"Don't call me father-in-law, Lord Lin, I can't afford it."
"Father-in-law, it's been so long, and now that we're both married, why can't you forgive?"
Song Feng glanced at Lin An and said, "This matter will always be a shame, my life is above board, let the two of you ruin my reputation." β
"This reputation can't be eaten, plus no one cares, you are in an important position, naturally no one dares to say anything."
"I, Song Feng, am a person who takes reputation very seriously, and being not told by others does not mean that others do not laugh at it, unlike you, regardless of shame."
Lin An was not angry by his words, but continued: "It is my honor to marry your daughter, and my face can naturally be put aside." β
Song Feng was about to be committed by these words, and he quickened his steps towards the conference hall.
This was the first time they had come to discuss matters together, and Zhao Yue began to say: "The three of us are all relatives, so it should be much easier to do things." β
Song Feng glared at Lin An and didn't say anything, but Zhao Yue saw some ways, so he persuaded him: "Song Aiqing, many things have passed, don't mention it again, now everyone is in harmony, it's a good thing, when my ninth princess married him, I also had a lot of resentment in my heart, but she is doing well, better than anything else." β
"What the emperor said is extremely true."
When Song Feng heard Zhao Yue say this, he naturally didn't dare to refute it, so he had to listen.
"In this court, I chose the two of you to come, the primary reason is your identity, this is probably also known to you, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also know it, I thought, you must work together to complete this change."
"We will live up to the emperor's trust."
Song Feng and Lin An said together.
Then, the emperor communicated with the two of them about the changes and some ideas, and some details were also talked about one by one.
After the three of them discussed, it was already night, and Song Feng and Lin An left together.
Lin An hurriedly stepped forward and said to Song Feng, "Father-in-law, please come here." β
Song Feng was in this palace, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he had to move forward.
Lin An continued: "Father-in-law, Qi'er misses you so much on weekdays, and when I have time to come to the Lin Mansion to sit together another day, I have prepared good tea." β
"No need."
Song Feng said coldly, and Lin An was still persevering.
"Then I'll take Qi'er back to the house another day, it just so happens that she also looks at her mother-in-law, she definitely misses it too."
Song Feng didn't say more
