When Master Song heard this, his face sank, and he sulked secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute too much, and muttered in his mouth: "Aren't you allowed to say a few words, the red moon is also something you have seen since you were a child." ”

The eldest lady looked at him, didn't she understand that he loved her daughter, she sighed, and said: "Master, since I married you, every flower and tree in this house, which one is not my hard work and careful cultivation, let alone Yueniang!" Although this child is not my own, she is also my and urine, in my heart, she is my heart, closer than my own! You are a father, you will only spoil her on weekdays, get used to her and let her mess around, and good people let you be it. But Yueniang is a girl after all, and she will marry in the future. I treat her harshly on weekdays, and I also hope that she can understand some rules, all for her good in the future. The love of parents for their children is far-reaching. ”

Master Song listened to her tone gradually softening, so he smiled and said: "I naturally know that Mrs. cherishes Hongyue, but why does Madame have to pull the Jin family, I don't want Hongyue to marry." ”

The eldest lady said: "Master, Hongyue has reached the age to be married, and this daughter's family can't be delayed, so she should make plans as soon as possible." The eldest son of the Jin family, I have met him a few times, and I can see that although that kid has an arrogant temperament, it is only due to the doting of the family, and his nature is not bad. Based on my understanding of Yueniang, the two of them will get acquainted in the future, and they will definitely be able to make that kid obedient. Looking at Fog City, our family can only marry the Jin family, which is the most beneficial to our family. ”

When Master Song heard this, he was puzzled and thought to himself: "Why does Madam have to let me marry the Jin family?" ”

He said: "Madam, over the years, I have done a lot of business in our family outside, and tonight is different from the past, and the salt transportation business is just a drop in the bucket." This foggy city is a hundred miles around, and the people's firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all transported by a tailwind of the brothers, if there is no tailwind, the entire fog city will be hungry. Why should we bother with the Jin family. ”

The eldest lady shook her head and said, "This salt and grain transportation originally belonged to the exclusive management of the imperial court. Who in the world doesn't look hot? Don't you think that your brothers are invincible in the world. The imperial court only needs to send an elite army in the name of suppressing bandits, and they can be wiped out! ”

When Master Song heard this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "It's not all up to Old Taishan to dredge me up in the court. I don't know that Lao Taishan has been in good health recently, I can miss him as an old man, so I let the brothers prepare more good goods, let's go to the capital, visit Lao Taishan! ”

The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, pointed at him, and said with a smile: "You, you are sweet-mouthed." Father just knows that you have this filial piety. Saying that, she looked in a trance, and said in confusion: "Father is old, to say something unlucky, if his old man is not there one day, who will protect you in the court?" This is up and down, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and there are many people who are worried about our fog city. ”

Master Song was stunned, and the words of the eldest lady were like waking up a person in a dream. He said in a trance: "What does Madam mean is that letting me marry the Jin family is actually planning for our family?" ”

The eldest lady nodded and said: "Now the court is divided into two forces, one faction is Jin Gonggong, the other is Liu Niangniang, Jin Gonggong controls the government, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have become a faction of his salt party, and that Liu Niangniang is obscure, hidden deeply, and unpredictable. These two forces, even the father has to give them three points. If the old man can marry his Jin family, there will be no harm in it. Yueniang became the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, so didn't the son of the Jin family also become the master, your son-in-law? At that time, who else in the world could move the master? ”

Master Song couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This court is really a eunuch, and even Lao Taishan wants to let that eunuch score three points!" How can the Holy One allow it to grow bigger? ”

The eldest lady said: "Sir, you don't say that you don't read much." In the past dynasties, whether it is a relative or a eunuch, as long as the saint balances these two forces and restricts each other, his emperor's throne will be the most stable. After all, don't they all have to rely on the emperor's favor? They are the emperor's people, and although their father is ranked as the third duke, in the emperor's heart, he is still an outsider. ”

Master Song listened with a solemn expression, and when he thought of his daughter, he couldn't help but seem to have lost, and thought to himself: "I hate that I was born in a cold family, even if I have worked hard for half my life, I am rich and rich, and I can't help myself in marrying a daughter." ”

He thought for a long time, and said indignantly: "I hope that Hongyue will marry in the future, and that little guy can treat him well, if you let me know that he bullied Hongyue, what kind of golden father-in-law he is, it is the emperor Laozi, and I can't spare him!" Suddenly thought of the second Jin Lao I saw that day, and said: "I think that the son of the Jin family behaves extraordinarily, is knowledgeable, and looks more pleasing to the eye than the sick seedling." It's better for me to promise the red moon to the second son. Let me promise the red moon to that sick seedling, I am really reluctant! ”

The eldest lady sighed, thoughtfully, and said: "That year, despite the opposition of my family, I wanted to marry you wholeheartedly, but I just liked it, that is, I went to the mountain to be the wife of the king of the mountain, and I didn't do it to be the queen of the main palace." After marrying into your family, I saw you running around, and I worried about you every day. I just hope that Yueniang can be safe and sound, and don't be like her aunt. She thought for a while, and then said: "I'll arrange it another day, let Miss Jin invite her two brothers to her house as guests, and let Yueniang accompany them to visit our garden. ”

Master Song was silent for a long time, shook his head slightly, and said, "That's it, everything is arranged by Mrs." It's better to stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mrs. is going to make arrangements. ”

But seeing that the eldest lady looked solemn, she shook her head and said, "Not good! This must be done quickly! It's best to invite the two sons of the Jin family to your home in the near future! Sir, I've discovered something important and want to tell you. ”

Seeing her solemn expression, Master Song was quite puzzled, so he asked, "What's the matter, Madame, but it's also about the red moon." ”

The eldest lady said: "Exactly, that Mr. Bai, can the master pay attention?" ”

Master Song was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Bai?" I liked that gentleman who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and who was still so young. ”

The eldest lady said: "What if he and Yueniang are already secretly in love? ”

After dinner, it was dark.

said, sure enough, he went out and brought in a little queen, slightly thinner than Bai Hongyan, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, and graceful manners, as if above Bai Hongyan, just timid and shy, with the attitude of a daughter, shy and vague, and slowly greeted Song Hongyue.
