"I see." Song Lingyue nodded clearly, I am afraid that I will not be the first to go to the Jibei Wangfu to buy ice cubes, and it will not be beautiful if it is recognized by the old housekeeper.

"If you want ice, I'll ask Ran'er to send some saltpeter to your house in a while, and then give you the method of making saltpeter ice, okay?" Mrs. Song saw that Song Lingyue was embarrassed, but she didn't ask but generously solved the siege.

Song Lingyue was very moved, but her face did not show half a point: "No merit, since Brother Xuan Ran has saltpeter here, I am willing to pay to buy it from him." ”

"You girl, you're too sincere." Old Lady Song patted the back of Song Lingyue's hand, "You saved Yanyan and you are the great benefactor of our Song family, even if you ask our Song family for saltpeter veins, we won't say anything." ”

"Old Madam Song, if you always say that, I won't dare to come to your house again in the future." Song Lingyue made a frightened expression, "It's just a gesture, I really don't have to keep it in my heart like this." ”

"You can leave it unattended, but we can't." A hearty male voice sounded behind him.

As soon as Song Lingyue turned around and saw that it was Song Xuanran who was back, she casually handed the fan in her hand to the maid on the side, "It's just a gesture for you, but it's a great favor for our Song family." Knowing kindness and repaying it, this is the duty of being a man. ”

"That's right." Mrs. Song also praised it.

Song Lingyue was speechless. This mother and son are really carved out of the same mold, and they all have the same idea.

In modern times, Song Lingyue has seen a lot of good people and good deeds, and he doesn't even say thank you, as if others owe him.

So much so that acting bravely and collecting money has become something that only fools do.

But the most pair of mother and son take other people's kindness to themselves very seriously, and they want to repay their kindness, which makes Song Lingyue feel a lot of pressure.

Song Lingyue was really scared, she accepted the Song family once or twice to repay her kindness and became accustomed to it, thinking that the other party really owed her, so it would be bad to arouse the greed in her heart.

"Mother, Lingyue They should be very tired after a long journey, why don't you let them go back to the guest room to rest first?" Song Xuanran saw that Song Lingyue was not very good-looking, so he hurriedly proposed.

Mrs. Song patted her head: "Ouch, I didn't think about it well, I forgot to take you to the guest room to rest first." He took Song Lingyue's hand and beckoned her to go to the inner room.

Song Lingyue knew that the Song Mansion was very big, but she didn't expect the Song Mansion to be so big.

Walk through the verandah and onto the winding path of the stone path to the garden, where wisteria flowers climb all over the trellises and a lilac waterfall hangs down.

After passing through the rockery and around the sparkling back lake, I came to the door of the wing.

The wing room is divided into the west wing and the east wing, both of which are for guests to live in, the west wing is by the lake, and the east wing is by the mountain, all of which have different views.

The west wing room has already been packed up, and it is waiting for Song Lingyue and her party to move in.

Several of the wings are elegantly furnished, and they are neatly packed.

"Lingyue, do you see if you like it or not, if you don't like it, let those girls buy it for you." Old Lady Song smiled and led Song Lingyue into her room.

There was a copper basin in the guest room early, and there were large ice cubes in it, which was slightly cool when I came in, but it was not an iceman.

"Old Mrs. Lao Song and Brother Xuanran have bothered." Song Lingyue hurriedly thanked her, this room was very elegantly furnished, and she was attentive at first glance.

"If you like it." Song Xuanran also smiled slightly, and at the same time pointed to the two maids behind him, and commanded:

"Huan'er, Pei'er, you have to greet your guests, and don't slack off at all."

"Yes!" Huan'er and Pei'er spoke together.

After arranging the other people's rooms, Mrs. Song and Song Xuanran said that they would say goodbye, let them have a good rest, and there would be servants to invite them when they had dinner.

As soon as Mrs. Song and Song Xuanran left, Song Lingyue threw the whole person on the big bed.

"This room is also so luxurious, it's like a dream!" Song Lingyue touched the carved bed made of golden silk nanmu and whispered, "When will I be able to live in such a big room and use such a good bed!" ”

Just lay down for a while, there was a knock on the door, Song Lingyue got up and pulled them away, seeing that it was the two maids before, she still remembered that they were called Huan'er and Pei'er.

Huan'er is a little girl with a round face, looking about thirteen years old, with baby fat, a pair of big eyes and a strange smell.

Pei'er looked a year or two older than her, with a goose egg face, eyebrows and eyes that were very good-looking, but she pursed the corners of her lips and looked a little unhappy.

"Miss, the slaves are here to serve you and freshen up." Huan'er said crisply, still holding a copper basin in his hand.

"The lord and the old lady are afraid that the young lady will be thirsty, so they especially ask the slaves and maids to bring hot tea." In the tray in Pe'er's hand was a pot of hot tea, and the aroma was bubbling.

"Come on in." Song Lingyue hurriedly got out of the way and let the two of them in.

Huan'er put the copper basin on the shelf, took a clean handkerchief and twisted it, and was about to wipe Song Lingyue's face.

"Don't, don't! I'll come on my own, I'll come on my own! "How old is the person, and the maid has to wipe her face, Song Lingyue is not used to it, so she hurriedly snatched the handkerchief from Huan'er and wiped it indiscriminately.

Song Lingyue's actions were obviously a little vulgar in Zai Pei'er's eyes, and her thin lips pursed together, drawing an arc of disdain.

But when Song Lingyue took a closer look, Pei'er could only see the arc of a shallow smile on her face, and she couldn't see anything else.

Am I dazzled? Song Lingyue was a little unsure.

He handed the handkerchief to Huan'er, who threw water and went out with a copper basin.

Only Song Lingyue and Pei'er were left, and the room suddenly became quiet and terrifying.

Song Lingyue always felt that this Pei'er had been secretly observing her and looking at her since she entered the door, and seemed to be a little hostile to her.

This made Song Lingyue very strange, she had just come to the Song Mansion, she didn't even sit on her buttocks, and she had only met this Pei'er once, where did she offend her, and she actually made her have a cold face.

Song Lingyue poured herself a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly, hoping that Huan'er would come back soon, and not let her face to face with Pei'er in the house alone, it would be uncomfortable.

Song Lingyue was almost at the bottom of a cup of tea, Huan'er hadn't come back yet, she raised her eyes and glanced at Pei'er who was not smiling in front of her, she was determined to break the silence:

"Pei'er, I've been to the Song Mansion several times, why haven't I seen Mrs. Song once?"

This question has always been hidden in Song Lingyue's heart, and she doesn't seem to have seen Mrs. Song in the huge Song family, nor has she heard Mrs. Song or Song Xuanran mention Mrs. Song.

"Do you mean the young lady?" Pell rolled her eyes, making her a little more angry.

Don't look at the coldness on this Pei'er's face, but her voice is crisp and sweet, which is very pleasant to the ear.

Pei'er's thin lips in front of her showed a shallow arc, as if with three points of mockery, and the coquettish fox eyes swept across Song Lingyue's face lightly, "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" ”

Song Lingyue blinked, the confusion in her eyes deepened a little, and she put on a look of not hesitating to teach, and listened attentively.

"The young lady died of dystocia and hemorrhage when she gave birth to the eldest lady, and died on the delivery bed." Pei'er's voice was crisp, and the bloody fact was said lightly, as if dying in childbirth was a normal thing, which made Song Lingyue feel a chill down her spine.

"Scared?" Pei Erdai raised her eyebrows slightly, and her thin lips hooked a thin smile, "It's too much to try to seduce the master with such guts." ”

Song Lingyue: ???

When did she want to seduce Song Xuanran?

Song Lingyue's eyes widened, and she was speechless.

Without waiting for Song Lingyue to explain, Pei'er swept to Huan'er, who was trotting back, pursed the corners of her lips and stepped aside, raised her eyebrows, and looked deferential, without the slightest contempt and arrogance on her face just now, the speed of the change of face was comparable to that of an Oscar actress, so that Song Lingyue's surprised gaze didn't have time to retract.

"Miss, but where is the hospitality inadequate?" Huan'er saw Song Lingyue's surprised expression, and tilted her little head to look at her timidly.

Song Lingyue shook her head, glanced at Pei'er, and coughed lightly: "It's hard to travel and travel, it's a little hard, I want to rest for a while, I don't need you to serve here." ”

"Then the servants will retreat first." Huan'er obediently blessed Song Lingyue, while Pei'er on the side glanced at Song Lingyue, and bent her knees to fool her.

Song Lingyue is a modern person, and she doesn't care much about these ancient etiquette, but she also knows that Pei'er is looking down on her to give her a look.

Huan'er nervously pulled Pei'er's hand and motioned to her with her eyes, but Pei'er ignored it, turned around and retreated.

Huan'er wanted to chase after her, but estimated that Song Lingyue was still here, so she hurriedly made a smile and closed the door of the room for Song Lingyue, and then hurriedly chased after her.

Song Lingyue saw through the window that Huan'er had caught up with Pei'er under the verandah, stopped her, and the sound of the two talking drifted into Song Lingyue's ears with the breeze.

"Sister Pelle, wait for me! Why are you in such a hurry? If the old lady knew about it just now, it would be time to say that Sister Pei'er, you have no rules. "This sweet crunch sound comes from Huan'er.

Pei'er, who only listened, snorted and sped up her steps, but the words in her mouth did not stop, and she raised her voice slightly, as if she intended for Song Lingyue to hear:

"It's just a woman who wants to climb high branches, it's not like we haven't served such a person, sooner or later the master will see through it, I don't want to respect such a person."

"It's a guest invited by the lord and the old lady, so you're not afraid of her going ......"

Huan'er wanted to say more, Song Lingyue walked to the window and deliberately made a noise, glanced at them from a distance, and closed the window.

Song Lingyue turned around and lay back on the bed, a little depressed, pulled the thin quilt on the bed and covered her body casually, and fell asleep unconsciously.

At dinner time, it was Song Lingyue who came to knock on the door to wake up.
