Song Fanhua walked through the verandah to find Song Minghui in the West Courtyard, but after she went, she was told by the people in the house that Song Minghui went to the South Courtyard to find Song Qingjiao, Song Fanhua turned back and returned to the South Courtyard.

Lu Pei asked, "Miss, where did you go this morning?" Why don't you go out and don't call the slave and maid, let the slave and maid follow. โ€

Song Fanhua said with a smile, "I just went out for a walk, weren't you called by your second cousin to move the account book, I didn't call you without waiting for you." Then he asked, "Have the books been moved?" โ€

Lu Pei said, "It's moved." โ€

Song Fanhua nodded, "The second cousin is now in the third sister's courtyard?" โ€

Huanzhu answered, "Yes." โ€

Song Fanhua snorted and walked to the courtyard next door.

Green Pei and Huanzhu followed.

Song Minghui sorted out the account books of each branch account today, and the summer sun was scorching, and after a sunbath, she moved into the warehouse, called the maids of several courtyards to help, and was busy early in the morning before she was busy, and when she was done, she took part of the money out to Song Qingjiao to buy a dowry, and now, she is holding the dowry list to Song Qingjiao, by the way, she went to the Chinese clothing store last time to order the dowry but failed to book it because of an accident in the middle, and only two days later went to the Chinese clothing store to get the wedding dress materials and let Song Qingjiao choose the style and color.

Song Qingjiao was watching, Song Fanhua walked in with two rings, until the hall was inside, and saw all kinds of silk and satin on the table, she was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is this?" โ€

Song Minghui glanced at her gently and said, "It's for your third sister to take for marriage." โ€

Song Fanhua suddenly realized and smiled, "So that's the case." โ€

She came over and also accompanied Song Qingjiao to pick it up.

After picking and determining the color and style, Song Fanhua thought of the willow slender she had just met on the verandah, the corner of her eyes narrowed, her hand ran over the silky cloth pendulum, and asked quietly, "My brother's second cousin also has the materials to prepare a wedding dress?" โ€

Song Minghui was stunned.

Song Qingjiao's originally happy face fell, she snorted and glared at Song Fanhua, "Which pot is not opened." โ€

Song Fanhua pouted innocently, "The eldest brother has gone to Liufu to propose marriage, and Liu Xianxian has moved over today, I just met her on the verandah, and she also said that she wanted to take Liu Shaoqi over." โ€

Song Minghui was dissatisfied, "It's okay if she moves in, why do you want to take Liu Shaoqi over?" โ€

Song Fanhua said, "It's Chongxi." โ€

Song Minghui's face turned cold.

Song Qingjiao completely lost the fabric in her hand, and shouted at Qiushui Qiuxia, "Come in and clean up." After that, he said to Song Minghui and Song Fanhua, "When I think of this, my good mood all day is gone." โ€

Song Minghui gently took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, and after swinging, she tucked the handkerchief into her waist and said slowly, "Liu Xianxian wants to take Liu Shaoqi over, probably the eldest brother agreed, but I don't know which courtyard she wants to put Liu Shaoqi in." โ€

Song Qingjiao snorted, "There are just a few courtyards, there are people living in the east, west, north and south courtyards, and all he can live in is the southeast, northwest, and these few courtyards that he doesn't live in, if the eldest brother puts him in the southeast courtyard, then I will move out." โ€

Song Fanhua pursed her lips and glanced at her.

Song Minghui said, "Where can you move to?" As you just said, it's all about these yards. โ€

Song Qingjiao said coldly, "I moved out of the Song Mansion." โ€

Song Minghui reprimanded, "Nonsense." โ€

Song Qingjiao said, "In short, I will not allow anyone in Liufu to get close to the South Courtyard, Liu Xianxian is not good, Liu Shaoqi is even more not, the eldest brother went to Liufu to propose marriage regardless of the wishes of our sisters, then he should not blame me for not giving him a good face, if he must spoil that Liu Xianxian and let her be powerful in Song Mansion, then I will move out of Song Mansion and never come back." โ€

Song Fanhua nodded, "This plan is very good." โ€

Song Minghui raised her hand and slapped her, "Your third sister is talking nonsense, and you are also talking nonsense." โ€

Song Fanhua said, "I think the third sister's idea is very good, the two sisters know, my sister I hated Liu Xianxian very much when I was a child, but I won't go in and out of any place where she is, but now, I have to live under the same roof with her." Speaking of this, she paused, "It's unbearable for me to move in alone, and now I have to add a Liu Shaoqi, so I really might as well go out and live in a clean place." โ€

Song Minghui listened to the words of her two younger sisters and sighed leisurely, "I didn't want to see my eldest brother today, so I didn't go to him, but now I have to go." She instructed Dong Yan to pick up the remaining fabric that Song Qingjiao had picked, and turned around and walked out of the South Courtyard.

Song Minghui went to the East Courtyard to find Song Shixian.

Song Shixian was waiting for her, and as soon as she came, he called her to the study and asked her, "Are you also very dissatisfied with my proposal to Liu Xianxian?" โ€

Song Minghui sighed lightly and sat in the chair and said, "Big brother, don't hide it, my father called me to the North Courtyard once five years ago, and he said a lot to me that time, but the most important sentence is that the head of my Song Mansion can be anyone, but it can't be Liu Xianxian." โ€

Song Shixian was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he was shocked and suspicious, "Second Uncle really said that?" โ€

Song Minghui nodded seriously.

Song Shixian frowned and asked, "Why?" โ€

Song Minghui shook her head, "I don't know the reason, but my father said that you can't marry Liu Xianxian." โ€

Song Shixian lost all strength for a moment, slumped in the chair, he stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and when his face drooped, his eyes were covered by shadows, and under the shadows, he looked pained, very distressed, and very desperate.

He muttered, "Why did the second uncle say that? โ€

Song Minghui still shook her head.

Song Shixian slapped his palm on the back of the chair and stood up, "Why do you all oppose Xian Xian entering the gate of our Song Mansion one by one, has she done anything to be sorry for our Song Mansion?" She didn't do anything, she was just liked by me, you don't like her, it doesn't mean I don't like it, you don't like me and I don't force you to like it, but if I like you, don't stop you. โ€

Song Minghui continued, "My sisters and I didn't stop you." โ€

Song Shixian's face sank, and a sneer flowed into his eyes, "It's not blocked, but you are no longer close to my eldest brother." Speaking of this, he seemed to be getting more and more tired, and waved his hand, "That's it, if you don't want to be close, you don't need to be close, Xian Xian will go to Liufu to pick up Shaoqi, and you go and vacate the southeast courtyard for him to live temporarily." โ€

Song Minghui squinted her eyes and said, "The third sister and the sixth sister just said that if you let Liu Shaoqi live in the southeast courtyard, they will move out of the Song Mansion." โ€

Song Shixian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes looked at the wooden door, and there was a slight struggle in his eyes, but after a while, he said coldly, "If they want to go, let them go." โ€

Song Minghui was startled, and instantly raised her face to look at him, at that moment, she only felt that the man in front of her was very strange, where was this still her eldest brother? It's clearly not! She stood up and walked out, not saying another word.

Back in the west courtyard, she entered the house with a gloomy face.

Dong Yan followed behind her and asked her, "Did the young lady quarrel with the eldest young master?" โ€

Song Minghui sat down along the round table, silent, looking terrible, Dong Yan asked again, Song Minghui still didn't answer, Dong Yan was worried, but after a while, Song Minghui was unusually calm, her voice was as slow as water, and she said in a deep and rational manner, "After lunch, you go to send a contact letter to the major shopkeepers of the Song Mansion, saying that I have something to meet them, and ask them to come to my west courtyard before tomorrow." โ€

Although Dong Yan didn't know what to do, she still responded, yes, she went to do this just after noon, and when she came back, Song Minghui asked her to prepare the carriage again, and then she left the house and rushed to the yamen.

Fan Zhi'an and Duan Xiao were both in the office, and when they saw her coming, they raised their heads one after another.

Song Minghui stepped forward to salute, "I've seen my lord." โ€

Duan Xiao said to her, "No need to be polite, what is the reason for the second lady to come to my yamen?" โ€

Song Minghui asked, "I don't know how the case I reported last time was investigated?" Is there any news from Holly? โ€

Duan Xiao narrowed his eyes, "There is no news for the time being." โ€

Song Minghui asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can get her back?" โ€

Duan Xiao said, "Yes." โ€

Song Minghui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she bowed to him again, "Holly is the maid ring I have brought with me since I was a child, although it is a master and servant, but the affection is not lower than that of a sister, if she is really gone, I am afraid that my life will be uneasy, if the adult can really find her back, then you are my Song Minghui's great benefactor." โ€

Duan Xiao glanced at her with a smile, got up from the seat, and said to Fan Zhi'an, "Give the second miss a cup of tea." โ€

Fan Zhi'an should be, and immediately went to make tea.

Duan Xiao pointed to the chair, "Second Miss sit." โ€

Song Minghui said thank you, but sat down without prevarication.

Waiting for her to sit down, Duan Xiao asked, "Second Miss came to me, not just about Holly, right?" โ€

Song Minghui said gently, "It's really more than that. โ€

Duan Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what's the matter?" โ€

Song Minghui said, "I want to ask Duan Gongzi to come to the door and pick up the sixth sister to live in your house for a few days." โ€

Duan Xiao was quite surprised, he said, "Why would the second miss say that? โ€

Song Minghui sighed, "It's not a secret, today my eldest brother went to Liufu to propose, Liu Xianxian has moved into Song Mansion, but she wants to give Liu Shaoqi Chongxi, so she took Liu Shaoqi again, the eldest brother arranged Liu Shaoqi to live in the southeast courtyard, the southeast courtyard is next door to the south courtyard, and my third sister and sixth sister live in the south courtyard, both sisters threatened that once Liu Shaoqi lived in, they would move out of the Song Mansion, but after all, the eldest brother also has his troubles, I don't want him to be disgusted with several sisters because of Liu Xianqian, I don't want to see my sisters force him with such tough means, if the sixth sister and the third sister really move away like this, it will be tantamount to slapping the eldest brother's face and making him suffer and lose face, so it gives Liu Xianxian a chance to take advantage of, so I want Duan Gongzi to come to the door and invite the sixth sister to live with you for a period of time, so as to avoid the gap between the eldest brother and the sixth sister, and let the sixth sister leave the Song Mansion properly. โ€

Duan Xiao listened to such words, he was really amazed by Song Minghui's meticulous thoughts, he looked at her, his eyes showed appreciation, but his mind was churning strangely, originally in his plan with Song Fanhua, either he dealt with Liu Xianxian, or Song Fanhua dealt with Liu Xianxian, but now, he felt that Song Minghui was also a good help.

Song Shixian is the eldest son, Song Minghui is the eldest sister, these two people, one outside the palm, one in the palm, one good at operation, one good at financial management, one outside and one inside, one and one Chi, complement each other, Liu Xianxian won Song Shixian, the next step is to take the money, but the financial power of the Song Mansion is in the hands of Song Minghui, so if Liu Xianxian wants to get the financial power of the Song Mansion, he must take it from Song Minghui.

Will Song Minghui give in?

No.

Duan Xiao squinted, couldn't help but smile, he said, "Since the second young lady has said this, then I have no reason to refuse, I will visit the door when I go back and explain this matter to Song Shixian." โ€

Song Minghui said gratefully, "Thank you Duan Gongzi." โ€

Duan Xiao said, "Don't rush to thank you first, although I agreed to go to the Song Mansion to invite Song Fanhua to live in the Mansion, but she may not agree, she threatened to move out of the Song Mansion, maybe she had a plan and found a place to live, and she didn't want to follow me into the Mansion?" โ€

Song Minghui said, "She will definitely be." โ€

Duan Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Huh?" โ€

Song Minghui smiled slowly, "Among our sisters, the sixth sister has always been the closest to the third sister, so as long as the third sister goes, she will inevitably follow." โ€

Duan Xiao didn't understand this sentence, he asked, "What do you mean - when the third sister goes, she will inevitably follow?" โ€

Song Minghui glanced at him and said a little arrogantly, "I want the third sister to go to your Duan Mansion to live too." โ€

Duan Xiao was stunned, "What?" โ€

Song Minghui said, "You heard it right. โ€

Duan Xiao asked puzzledly, "Since Song Qingjiao has already engaged to Yue Wencheng, isn't it just right for you to go to Yue Wencheng and take Song Qingjiao to Yue's mansion?" It's a logical thing, why do you want her to come to Duanfu? โ€

Song Minghui pursed her lips and said, "It is precisely because Qingjiao is engaged to her son-in-law that I don't let her go to live in Yue's mansion." โ€

Duan Xiao asked, "Why?" โ€

Song Minghui said, "The woman's face problem. โ€

Duan Xiao's forehead twitched, "I seem to be engaged to Song Fanhua, why aren't you worried about Song Fanhua's face?" โ€

Song Minghui glanced at him carefully, straightened her sleeves and said, "The sixth sister is a petty and mischievous person, the people in Hengzhou City have a stubborn impression of her, no matter what she does, others are not unusual, but the third sister is different." โ€

Duan Xiao thought to himself, the clouds in the sky and the mud in the ground are indeed different.

He said, "Then I'll try it." โ€

Song Minghui saw that he agreed, this time he really put his mind at ease, he didn't dare to disturb more, and immediately retired and left, and after she left, Fan Zhian put away the teacup again, and asked Duan Xiao, "My lord, we don't have any eyebrows over there, how can you be so sure you can get her back?" โ€

Duan Xiao smiled and raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I didn't say that we were looking for it, but waited for someone else to send it over." โ€

Fan Zhi'an was stunned, "What my lord said ......"

Duan Xiao said to him, "You don't have to worry about this matter, since someone brought Holly back, if you can't bring it back, then when you have the opportunity to go to Yunjing, you will definitely see it, now, you go and prepare two sedan chairs, and follow me to the Song Mansion to pick up people." โ€

Fan Zhi'an heard Song Minghui's words, and when he saw Duan Xiao's instructions, he immediately packed up the teacup and cold dishes, and went down to prepare the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was ready, and Duan Xiao took him to the Song Mansion.

Duan Xiao made his intentions clear to Song Shixian, Song Shixian asked Song Fanhua and Song Qingjiao to call out and ask their opinions, Song Fanhua looked at Duan Xiao, opened her mouth and was about to speak, when Liu Xianxian's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "It's so lively." โ€

Song Shixian hurriedly walked out.

Song Fanhua pursed her thin lips, slowly covered her lips and sneered.

Song Qingjiao scolded in a low voice, "It's really ghostly, she is everywhere." โ€

Duan Xiao looked at Song Fanhua, pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, and when everyone looked at Liu Xianxian outside the door, he whispered in her ear, "Killing Liu Xianxian is not an overnight thing, you can move to Duan Mansion first and deal with Shen Han with me." โ€

Song Fanhua raised her eyes and snorted softly, "You guess I will refuse?" โ€

Duan Xiao smiled lightly, "Probably." โ€

Song Fanhua said, "Since you know that I will refuse, then you don't have to do useless work anymore, no matter what you say, I won't move to your Duan Mansion, this time, I won't let my brother indulge again." โ€

Duan Xiao bullied her and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "According to my estimate, the officers and soldiers sent by Yunjing will arrive in Hengzhou in four or five days, if you don't stay in my Duan Mansion before they arrive, it will not be so convenient if you make a message or send a letter in the future, besides, I have probably guessed the purpose of Shen Han's coming to Hengzhou, maybe you will be very interested." โ€

Song Fanhua asked, "What is Shen Han doing here?" โ€

In his previous life, he came to kill his brother, but in this life, it will definitely not be, because Duan Xiao is not dead yet.

Duan Xiao reached out and pinched a stack of her hair, and whispered, "Check you." โ€

Song Fanhua's thin eyebrows hooked, "Check me?" โ€

Duan Xiao snorted, "Yes, check on you, or rather, he is here to investigate Feiyin outside the sky, so it's best for you, Gao Yutie and Zhu Licong not to go out in the near future." โ€

Song Fanhua snorted lightly, "Can he find me?" โ€

Duan Xiao squinted, "Why can't you find it?" Seeing that Song Fanhua wanted to slap him back again, he stretched out his fingertips and pressed her mouth, "I'll talk about it after I think about it." โ€
