Sheng Qian didn't tell Yun Niang that Song Lao Taijun had proposed to let him marry Song Yu as his stepwife, because he didn't take it to heart.

But he didn't take it to heart, but it doesn't mean that others don't take it to heart. Mrs. Song and Cheng were firmly concerned about the marriage between the Song and Sheng families. Song Lao Taijun had the intention of connecting with the Song family, and there were Sheng Feifei and Song Value in front before, but unfortunately Song Value suddenly went wrong.

Now the Cheng family is relieved, with Song Yu's appearance and talent, which of the kings and grandsons of Beijing is not married casually. Although Sheng Qian is now a scholar, he is married to a stepwife after all, and it seems that Song Yu is married low. After eating a closed door at Sheng Qian's end, he sent Ni Zhen'er to Shangshu Mansion to summon Yun Niang the next day.

Sheng Mingzhu probably knows what's going on, her grandmother can't get the answer she wants from her father, doesn't the persimmon have to be pinched softly? I was a little worried about Yun Niang in my heart, but fortunately, Yun Niang only went for two hours, and calculated the time of the round-trip journey, and stayed in the Shengguo Mansion for half a pillar of incense at most.

"Mother, what did grandmother tell you?" Sheng Mingzhu walked to the table and poured her tea.

"She told me not to be spoiled, there should always be a female owner in Shangshu Mansion, and I want to come and talk to Mrs. Cheng very happily." Yun Niang turned out the tea when her eldest daughter arrived, her tone was calm, and for a while Sheng Mingzhu couldn't figure out whether she was wronged or angry at the moment, and her eyes looked at her with some apprehension, "Mother, don't think too much, even if grandmother thinks about it, Daddy doesn't want to, she can't force the cow head to eat grass." ”

Yun Niang was amused by her daughter's metaphor, and raised her eyes after a while, "I'm not sad." A few days ago, everyone got up, and if they were angry before, they are used to it. It's just that this hundred virtues and filial piety come first, and you are separated by a lifetime, I see that the old lady is serious this time, I am afraid that your father will insist on disobeying her, which is not conducive to officialdom. ”

Sheng Mingzhu shook her head, "Although my grandmother's temperament is like this, she values the future of the Sheng family more than anyone else, and if she makes trouble outside, she is still afraid of affecting her reputation-" After thinking for a while, she said, "Besides, I was familiar with Sister Song in the past, and she would not want to be a successor to someone like her." ”

Yun Niang shook her head, "What do you want to do like this, I think your father didn't tell me about it, he should have his own charter." ”

patted his daughter's hand again, "You don't have to think too much, your marriage is engaged, and you will have to worry about the affairs of your in-laws' family in the future." The housekeeper's house is simpler, but you still have a lot to learn on weekdays, and you can't be as lazy and lazy as you have been lately. ”

Sheng Mingzhu was so big when she heard her talk about this matter, she said a few times casually, and soon pretended to be tired and retreated. Mother Huang next to her walked over and shook her head again and again when she saw this scene, "It's still like a little girl, and it's not long before I get married." ”

"Isn't she a little girl", Yun Niang smiled and looked at her back, "Wait a few days, see that she has no intention of learning anything these days." ”

——

Sheng Mingzhu was wandering around Beijing with Jin Zhi that day, originally wanting to go to Duobao Pavilion to buy some jewelry.

After all, now that the branch has come out to be single, many shops that have been negotiated in the past do not know yet, and they have to be notified one by one today. In the future, things such as ready-to-wear clothes or jewelry can be delivered directly to Shangshufu. Yun Niang has been busy with the purchase of subordinates these days, and Sheng Mingzhu has been helping her with these things.

"I'm thirsty, go and sit in the front."

Just after the early spring, I was still wearing winter clothes, but when the sun came out at noon, the weather was still a little hot. Sheng Mingzhu felt a little dry mouth, Jin Zhi wiped her sweat beside her, and the two of them walked together in a slightly ventilated place, just through a city gate, but they smelled a fragrant wind, very fragrant, very pungent nose.

Sheng Mingzhu looked sideways, but only saw a gorgeously dressed woman leaning against the base of the city wall, hugging a man.

After looking at it, he stopped looking, and Jin Zhi was also busy covering his eyes with his sleeves, "I guess where did the bottom ruffian come from, and he hugged here in broad daylight." She lowered her voice and said, "Miss, where are we going?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu just felt that it was still cold on such a spring day, and the woman's dress was too cool, which was a little unsightly. followed Jin Zhi and prepared to go out, but he swept the man's figure in his eyes, was slightly stunned, looked at the man's face in surprise, and was about to take a closer look, but the man had already taken the woman's hand and quickly ran away.

"What's going on?" It's the same as the stock wind, and it disappears all of a sudden. Jin Zhi sighed from the side.

Sheng Mingzhu turned around, and Jin Zhi hurriedly followed her, "Miss, where are you going, aren't you going home?" ”

"No", Sheng Mingzhu walked forward, "I'll wait for you in front of the bridge, you let the sedan chair driver come here, I'm going to Song." ”

——

Sheng Mingzhu handed a prayer post to the Song Mansion, she also came to the Song Mansion when Song Yu was in the past, and now the Cheng family intends to marry the Sheng family, and almost just received the worship post and let people pass. Sheng Mingzhu followed the descendants of the Song family all the way back, and only then did he see Song Yu in the back garden of the Song family.

It's already spring, and although it's not to the point where a hundred flowers are blooming, the greenery in the garden is slightly outcropping, and there is still some spring scenery in the end. Song Yu was still wearing heavy clothes, her eyebrows were a little lazy, she was leaning on a chaise longue, covered with a thick plush blanket, and a maid was lighting a charcoal basin next to her, and she also had a hand stove in her hand.

"Why do you want to stay outside if you're afraid of the cold?"

Sheng Mingzhu walked over, and the maid saw her, hurriedly got up from the ground, and hurriedly bowed her head and saluted. Sheng Mingzhu only waved her hand, and Song Yu slowly got up from the recliner, seeing that she was slightly stunned, and was about to get up after a while, Sheng Mingzhu pressed down her blanket, "Don't get up, be careful of the cold." ”

She had bright makeup that day, but she couldn't see anything. Now that the lead is washed, Sheng Mingzhu realizes that her face is obviously much worse than before, and her face is much thinner than before. Originally, I had a lot of questions in my mind, but now I don't want to ask anything.

Song Yu looked at her with a smile, and after a while, he motioned for the maid who was waiting on the side to go down.

The charcoal fire here is a little strong, and Sheng Mingzhu untied the outermost cloak. sat on the chair next to her rocking chair again, "Sister Song, your face is very bad, have you been in bad health recently?" The garden here is windy, even if there is a stove that blows too much, the wind is not good, I will send you back to the room? ”

Song Yu shook his head, "I don't like to be stuffy in the room all the time. It's okay, it's been a lot better than before lately. ”

She looked at Sheng Mingzhu again, she thought that Mingzhu was going to ask her something today. Boiling water next to him, Sheng Mingzhu touched the stove in Song Yu's arms, "It's a little cold, Sister Song, I'll pour you water, you hold the warm water." ”

Song Yu looked at it for a while and said, "Mingzhu, I'll be back soon." ”

"I know."

"Song Sheng and I were brought back by our family."

Song Yu looked at the clear hot water in his hand, "Song Sheng and I got married in his hometown, so Mingzhu, I won't marry into the Sheng family." I just couldn't help it, my mother asked me to go to Sheng Mansion with her, I couldn't help but agree to her"

"I know, I know what kind of person you are." Sheng Mingzhu was very hesitant in her heart, should she tell her what she saw today, Song Yu was afraid that the relationship between the sisters would be ruined because of Cheng's actions, but now seeing that she understood herself very well, a smile appeared on her face, "Mingzhu, don't worry." In a few days, Ah Sheng will come and pick me up—" She hung her head again, her smile faint but distracted by the sun, "and the child in my womb." ”

"Sister Song?"

Sheng Mingzhu's voice was one degree higher than before, but Song Yu pressed her lips slightly and shook her head, "Don't make a sound." ”

She didn't dare to say anything about the pregnancy in her womb, Cheng's is now wholeheartedly letting her marry the Sheng family, but she is afraid that the front foot of her pregnancy has just been revealed, and the child on the back foot will not be saved, "Ah Sheng and I got married under the witness of my father and fellow villagers, worshiped heaven and earth, and I also got his hometown household registration, which is not a matchmaker." I am his wife, and I have a child in my womb. ”

Song Yu said, "I will be born in the future without fear of others. ”

"I'm not in good health these days, and my baby is unstable. I had to leave the capital after a while, and in order to let my mother's guard down, I had to accept her arrangement that day. After that, he looked at Sheng Mingzhu and smiled helplessly, and the smile on Sheng Mingzhu's face was also a little helpless.

She originally wondered why Song Yu's expression was so pale.

It stands to reason that a good sister is married and has an heir in her womb, and if she is happy, she should rejoice for her. But the happiness in front of her made her really unable to say anything good, Sister Song, does she know what kind of person Song Sheng is?

She looked at Song Yu, she hung her head slightly, her hand was still holding the cup, and her lips were a little pale.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't dare to say anything in his stomach.

——

"What do you do? In a hurry, it hurt people's hands. ”

Talking is the alley building recently entered the Lingren Mingcui, she looks modest, dressed up beautifully, before serving around the top brand, after learning some skills, she also began to list, this Song Sheng is the guest she just received. In the past, she was gentle and gentle, but today she was like an evil person, and she ran away.

glared at Song Sheng dissatisfied, "It's like there's a ghost following behind." ”

Isn't there a real ghost? Song Sheng wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and said, "I saw the third lady of the Sheng family on the road just now, you don't know, she has a good relationship with Song Yu, if she sees me messing around with you, tell Song Yu, where will I get the money to find you in the future." ”

Mingcui looked dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that you held the Miss Song family firmly in the palm of your hand?" Ignore her and only ignore me in the future, what, you still have to talk to her? ”

Song Sheng coaxed her all the way, "How can you two be the same thing." The eldest lady asked me to serve all day long, never went out a few times, read a few poems and songs, and thought that she was smart and clever, and she was bored with her - talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long. ”

"But I heard that Miss Song is a famous beauty in the capital?"

"I'm tired of seeing too many beauties, she's boring and tight."
