The tea is fragrant.

Song Yige carried the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, the tea swayed in the cup of white jade porcelain, the tea soup revealed a crystal color, and when he heard the greeting, Song Yige put down the teapot: "It's here." ”

Behind Qiu Xifu, he stood aside respectfully: "Girl." ”

Song Yige smiled: "Don't be afraid of Qiuxi, I just want to ask you something, and it's not a big deal." ”

Qiu Xi said: "Girl, please speak." ”

Song Yige smiled slightly: "Today, I met my grandmother, and I only had to see the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister, but I heard what my grandmother said meant that there should be five sisters in the house." ”

"I don't know why I didn't see the rest of the sisters at my grandmother's?"

Originally, Qiu Xi was still worried about what strange questions the new fifth girl would ask, but who knew that it was really a common thing, she suddenly brought a little smile on her face, and hurriedly said: "The other third girl is also a girl in the big house, her name is Ling Xue, but she is a concubine, the biological mother of the third girl is Aunt Qi, if the girl goes to visit the eldest master, she will definitely be able to see it, and there is a sixth girl, who is the concubine of the eldest master, Ling Qing, wait for Ming'er and them to come to say hello to the eldest princess, and the girl will be able to see her." ”

Song Yige bowed: "Then the third sister of Ming'er wants to come to say goodbye to her grandmother?" ”

Qiu Xi smiled: "It stands to reason that the third girl is going to come to greet the eldest princess, but the eldest princess has always hated these concubines and concubines, so she sent them away without having to come here to say goodbye." ”

"But ......" Qiu Xi was silent for a while, and reminded, "Although the third girl is not liked by the eldest princess, she is very loved by the eldest master, and the girl must pay attention." ”

Song Yige nodded, and summarized the last sentence of Qiuxi that the eldest master is a master who spoils his wife and destroys concubines, and the three girls are very embarrassed in the big room.

In this way, she vaguely understood why Ling Yue would talk to her like that in the first place.

Song Yige pondered for a while, then lay on the soft collapse, shrank by the brazier and fell asleep slowly.

Because she came, when I had dinner later, I called several sisters and aunts together.

The two aunts are both amiable people, but in comparison, the eldest aunt Tang is weaker, and the second aunt Ji is stronger, so you can understand the reason why the eldest lord spoils his wife and destroys his concubine.

Of course, the status of the two aunts in the mansion is also related to their mother's family, but it is obvious that although the second aunt is living freely, the weight of the eldest princess in Pingyang is not as good as that of the Tang family.

Song Yige, under the recommendation of the eldest princess of Pingyang, met the two one by one.

Waiting for the meal to be finished, when several people left the house with Song Yige, they were stopped by Ji's hand: "Cousin, slow down." ”

Song Yige turned around and looked at Ji's family, and smiled slightly: "I don't know what else the second aunt has to say." ”

"I can't say any advice, just a reminder to the girl." Ji said with a smile, "Why don't you invite the girl to come to the courtyard of the second aunt to sit down, and I will accompany the girl to eat tea?" ”

Song blessed himself with songs: "I am very happy to sing, I am afraid that I will disturb my second aunt when the time comes." ”

Ji covered his mouth and smiled: "What are you talking about, it's all a family, and besides, your second uncle may not have seen you for a long time." Saying that, Ji Shi thought for a while, and added, "I want to come to my cousin, I haven't seen the monkey under my knees." ”

"It just so happens that he Ming'er came back from Guozijian, you cousins, it's also very good to meet."

Song Yige smiled: "Everything is arranged by the second aunt." ”

Ji Shi bowed his head with satisfaction: "In this way, let's go back early, it's getting late, you should rest early, if there is anything you need to buy, just mention it to your second aunt." ”

Song Yige said: "Yes, I bothered the second aunt and the eldest aunt. ”

The Tang clan, who was standing beside the Ji clan, smiled slightly, and after bowing his head, he took Ling Yue to leave first.

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the lanterns under the porch are swaying in the snow.

Tang took Ling Yue back to the house together, and the maid brought the hot ginger tea to the two of them: "Madam, girl, please use it." ”

Tang shook his head, took a bowl, and after taking a few sips, he put it down again, and pulled Ling Yue to the house again.

Ling Yue glanced at the sky: "Mother, it's too late now, you are looking for your daughter to come over, but is there anything else?" ”

Tang pulled her to sit down on the stool: "Is it the cousin you picked up today?" ”

"Yes." Ling Yue bowed her head, "I don't know what advice my mother has?" ”

Tang pondered for a moment, and then said, "What do you think of my cousin?" Easy to get along with? ”

Ling Yue smiled: "The fifth sister has an excellent temperament, but I don't know why my mother has this question?" But does grandmother have any plans? ”

Tang hummed absentmindedly, then pulled his long hair back together, and leaned lazily: "You also know that now that the Song family is in decline, your cousin of the Song family is a complete sick man, and it will not be of much use in the future, but he is a man in the end, even so, with the reputation and money of the Song family, it is enough to support him to go through this life smoothly, but your cousin is different." ”

"If there is no one in the mother's family to support the lintel, even if she marries a husband who loves her in the future, she will inevitably be wronged."

Ling Yue smiled thoughtfully: "Then grandmother wants to ......"

Tang clapped her hand: "Your grandmother wants her to marry back." ”

Tang Shi said again: "Although your aunt is no longer here, there are still your grandfather and grandmother, as well as your father and uncle, how can they let her suffer any grievances here." ”

Ling Yue lowered her head: "Then according to my mother's meaning, do you want to ...... Match the fifth sister and the eldest brother? ”

Tang nodded lightly: "I have this plan, if we have Song Yige, why worry about your father refusing to look at you two brothers and sisters, obviously you are much better than that little." ”

"However, today, my mother has made her one of your sisters, and I am a little unsure now."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the maid in the front room roll up the curtain: "Master, you are back." ”

Then, Ling Lai's voice rang out.

Tang Shi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, the corners of his mouth brought out a bit of mockery, Ling Yue couldn't see her like this, and reached over to hold her hand: "Mother, don't you usually look forward to your father's return?" Now that my father is back, why don't you go? ”

Tang Shi held Ling Yue with his backhand: "You are still young, you don't understand." ”

As he spoke, Ling Lai had already gone around into the inner room, and seeing that Ling Yue was also here, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "If it's not early today, why are you still in your mother's house?" ”

Ling Yuefu: "My daughter just came back from dinner with her mother from her grandmother's. ”

Hearing Ling Yue's mention, Ling Lai remembered the matter of going back to the house, he lowered his head and straightened his sleeves and said, "Has Yige ever come back?" ”

Tang said: "I'm back, and now I live in my mother's princess's mansion." ”

After Ling Lai answered vaguely, he said: "Ming'er, please talk to the house with a song, call Ling Su back, I am preparing some good dishes, and I will come back for dinner tomorrow." ”

Tang said: "Ming'er Yige has promised to go to the second brother and sister, so it's better to invite it again the day after tomorrow." ”

Ling Lai thought about it for a while, but he didn't force it: "It's okay, one more day, you can also prepare more, don't slack off with songs, but this is also a family banquet, don't exaggerate too much, you can handle the scale yourself." ”

After speaking, Ling Lai flicked his sleeves and was just about to leave, but was pulled by Ling Yue: "It's late at night, father and mother should rest as soon as possible, and my daughter will retire first." ”

Ling Lai's body stiffened, and he was in a dilemma.

Although he is indeed a bastard sometimes, he is still a good father in front of several children, if he brushes off her kindness today and walks away, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to repair in the future; But if he doesn't leave, won't he be dishonest?

Ling Lai subconsciously looked up at the Tang Clan.

But Tang kept hanging his head, Ling Lai suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart, he could only smile and brush Ling Yue's hand on his sleeve: "It's not early, you go back and rest first." ”

The fingers that were brushed off by Ling Lai were slightly curled in, Ling Yue didn't say anything, just bowed her head and blessed her body: "My daughter knows." ”

Walking out of the house quickly, the cold wind was blowing in front of him.

Ling Yue also had a serious illness a few days ago, and now it is also the time when her body is the weakest, and she can't stand it when she is blown by the wind like this, so she coughs a few times and covers her mouth and nose.

Her personal maid stepped forward very quickly, draped her clothes on her body, and complained a little between her eyebrows: "Why did the girl suffer from this crime? ”

Ling Yue gathered her clothes: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, how can I let it go." ”

The maid was puzzled: "The girl is speaking more and more esoteric now. ”

Ling Yue took a deep breath: "You don't need to understand, you just need to understand, this place will soon change." ”

She looked up and saw that the night was cold.

After waiting for the eldest princess of Pingyang to say goodbye early in the morning, Song Yige was taken to the courtyard of the second room.

There are many people in the second room, and there are three children of Ling Qiao and Ji's family, plus two concubines, a total of five people.

After the Ji family led her to see them one by one, they sent the two concubines down, leaving only her three children, Ling Su and Ling Yu, whom she had met yesterday, and one other person, Ling Yao, the third son of the Ling Mansion.

Ling Yao's face probably followed his father, and he was born a little rough, but his temperament was not like the two of them, and he didn't take that open career, so he had to go to the barracks alone.

Today, he is serving in the Praetorian Guard.

It can be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

Song Yige blessed the body: "I have seen the third cousin with a song. ”

Since entering the Praetorian Guard, Ling Yao is surrounded by five big and three rough men, even if he says some meat jokes on weekdays, it is also on paper, but he has never practiced, and now he suddenly sees his delicate and soft cousin, who is very likely to become his fiancée in the future, for a while, he is a little shy and uncomfortable.

When he spoke, he couldn't help but bring a bit of slurping.

Before seeing Song Yige, Ling Yao never thought about which girl she would marry in the future, but after seeing her, she had a few more thoughts about the future.

Even with the gaze that looked at Song Yige, there was a little more tenderness and sweetness.
