What happened in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion was unknown to people outside, but this did not include Song Yao.

Since she knew that Second Lady Lin had contact with Mama Hong, Song Yao sent someone to monitor Second Lady Lin, and even if Second Master Lin confessed, she did not withdraw her person.

However, Song Yao would not sympathize with Second Mrs. Lin's suffering, as early as when she and Second Master Lin murdered the big house, she should have thought about what kind of situation would be after the failure.

Until the matter of the Governor's Mansion came to an end, Song Yao didn't know that Yun Zhongxiao had helped her in secret, and Yun Zhongxiao didn't sell favors, he just wanted to protect Song Yao silently in secret.

The Liu family's fleet set off again, and Song Yao instructed them to buy it at a low price, and buy glass for a year in a row, and as for those handicrafts, they continued to order.

Because there are always guests in Song Yao's house, seeing the glass windows of the Song family, many ladies are moved, and replacing the glass windows is already the fashion of Yunzhou City.

Song Yao is good friends with the Governor's Palace, and she also has the heart to make friends with the prefect, so she sent a lot of glass, at least it is enough to install the main courtyard and living room for them, and if you want more, you can only come to Song Yao to buy it.

The lunar calendar has entered November, and the weather here in Yunzhou City has begun to cool down, but it is still warm during the day, but it is still a charcoal fire at night, so as not to be woken up by freezing.

"Madam, there's a letter from the capital." Red Sleeves wore a pink autumn coat, put the umbrella in the porcelain vase at the door, and walked quickly to Song Yao's side.

The Red Sleeves family has been here for more than half a month, and after settling down the family, Red Sleeves returned to Song Yao to wait.

Qingshan is also an eager person, and after getting Song Yao's letter, he proposed to the Zhang family.

Red Sleeves has already had such a thing, the Zhang family originally thought that Red Sleeves would never have a chance to marry in this life, but along the way, it can be seen that although Qingshan is silent, he is really good to Red Sleeves, and there is no reason to disagree with this marriage.

However, Zhang Heng, the quasi-eldest brother, still talked with Qingshan Chang, and finally prepared a dowry for Red Sleeves with joy.

The Zhang family didn't have much silver, and they got a few hundred taels from selling the house, plus the 1,000 taels left by Red Sleeves when they left for the first time, all of which were purchased by the Zhang family with jewelry, so they were afraid that Red Sleeves' dowry would be shabby.

Fortunately, the father and son have already moved into the place arranged by Song Yao, and they will also have a salary to be a husband in the future, and Zhang Heng's silver for looking at his legs is also from Song Yao, so he doesn't have to worry about life.

Qingshan is also a big spend, and when he was hired, he invited the official media, and the bridal gift was so generous that many people thought that he proposed to the eldest lady of which family.

Not only is the silver more than 10,000 taels, but the gold and silver jewelry is a whole two large boxes, and this is just the first gift.

However, the Zhang family father and son do not plan to leave a single penny, and they will also make a dowry for Red Sleeves in the future.

The wedding date has also been chosen, which is the eighth day of May after the third anniversary of Mrs. Zhang's death, and there is still a year and a half to prepare.

The red sleeves that opened their hearts, their faces were a little brighter, and they finally had the feeling of a girl.

"Very good, you really want to fight with me Song Yao!" Seeing Hu Jiayue's letter, Song Yao was still very happy, but after reading the letter, Song Yao was dyed with a thin layer of anger.

The business in the capital has been repeatedly found faulty, and there is such a thing as arson, how can Song Yao not be angry?

Although Hu Jiayue has already explained that Song Yao's people have not suffered losses, and the loss of property is not large, it is a matter of face and future development, and Song Yao does not plan to be good.

Song Yao didn't know that Helian Sheng had avenged her, nor did he know that Helian Sheng had already made up for her losses, and she didn't receive the news, and Helian Sheng was afraid that she would be worried, so he deliberately concealed the news.

Thinking of Helian Sheng's previous letter to him, coupled with the continuous accidents in the capital, Song Yao made a decision to go to the capital.

"Red sleeves, you immediately take someone to pack up your things, and you will leave for the capital the day after tomorrow." Without waiting for Red Sleeves to ask what was going on, Song Yao had already opened his mouth and ordered: "This time, you will stay in Yunzhou, and let Qingshan stay with you." ”

"No, the slave has to follow the lady." Redsleeves refused.

"In another year and a half, you're going to get married, and there's still a lot to prepare. There is a lot of business here in Yunzhou, and it is also what I want to focus on, and I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others. And your father and brother are also here, and you will stay and take care of it. Song Yao said.

"The business here has stabilized, even if the slave is not there, the people below can handle it." Speaking of family affairs, Red Sleeves' face was slightly red, but she would not forget her identity, "Besides, Governor Lin and the prefect are still in office, and they can really take care of anything, but the situation in the capital is more tense, and if they don't follow Madame, the slave and maid are not at ease." ”

Before Qingshan went to ask for marriage, Song Yao wanted to return the deed of sale to Red Sleeves, but Red Sleeves refused to accept anything.

When he sold himself, Red Sleeves swore a poisonous oath in his heart, and he would be Song Yao's slave for the rest of his life.

Song Yao couldn't, she only said that if Red Sleeves got married in the future, the child could not be enslaved, which was also a reward for Red Sleeves, and it also made the Zhang family father and son feel a lot more relieved.

"Your brother's leg still needs treatment, don't you want to see him recover?" Song Yao had the heart to let Red Sleeves stay, more because she and Qingshan made a marriage contract, and the Zhang family's father and son were also in Yunzhou.

Red Sleeves shook his head and said, "My brother's leg will take at least a few months to recover, and someone has been sent over there to serve him, but he doesn't need me to take care of it." What's more, the doctor invited by Mrs. is the best at orthopedics in Yunzhou City, if he can't be cured, then the eldest brother will not have a day of recovery. Rather than wait here, I should go to Beijing with my wife, and they will write to me if anything. What's more, we didn't settle directly in the capital. ”

Seeing that Red Sleeves was determined to go with him, Song Yao no longer dissuaded him.

"If that's the case, let's get ready to go. You ask someone to get the lovely person back, and I'll explain some more things to her, so that I can keep a few people for her. Song Yao commanded.

Redsleeves answered, and hurriedly went out.

If you want to go to the capital, you have to bring a lot of things.

However, Song Yao didn't plan to go with the caravan, not to mention the delay, the goal was also big.

Song Yao wants to leave, and she has to make arrangements for business matters, but she is about to take over everything here and be the temporary chief steward, and she also needs Song Yao to call all the stewards over to explain, and she is indispensable to beat her, so as not to let Song Yao leave, and the stewards will bully Keren's young age, and the yang will be disobedient.

Song Ji's affairs are all internal, but it is still inevitable that many people will know about it, and there are many people who came to send Cheng Yin, and they all knew that Song Yao was in a hurry, so he did not come in person, so as not to delay Song Yao's time.

However, Mrs. Lin came over in person, and generously gave Song Yao a thousand taels of silver, and also gave a set of head inlaid with gems, which was definitely worth more than five thousand taels.

"Mrs. Lin, this gift is too valuable, Song Yao is just a businesswoman, even if she gets it, she won't have a chance to wear it!" Song Yao politely refused.

Mrs. Lin said that she was here to see her off, but this ceremony was not in accordance with the rules, and Song Yao didn't want to accept it, for fear that Mrs. Lin would have any conditions.

Mrs. Lin was not angry, she picked up a step and shook it gently, and the two yellow gems falling on it made a crisp sound.

"This set of heads is a meeting gift given to me by the old lady when I passed the door. At that time, I was reluctant to wear it, and later when I got older, it was not suitable for me. Mrs. Lin looked a little nostalgic for the past, and chuckled: "This yellow gem is not common, and I have always been very precious, I wanted to make a dowry for Sister Hui in the future, but Sister Hui was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people and refused to accept it." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin sighed.

Song Yao, who still wanted to refuse, was blocked by Mrs. Lin first, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mrs. Lin stood up, put the hairpin in Song Yao's hair, and praised: "Look, this hairpin is more flattering to your skin color and temperament?" It's not an exaggeration to say it's made for you, and it seems that I was right. ”

"This set of heads and faces is given to me, I'm afraid it is no different from Mrs. Lin's. I rarely wear jewelry, so I can only watch it in a jewelry box. Song Yao knew that she couldn't put it off, so she could only accept it with a smile.

"When the old lady was alive, she admired Song Niangzi very much, saying that you lived a life that many women dare not live, if she can meet you when she is young, she will definitely make friends with you, maybe she will also change her way of life." Mrs. Lin sat down again, and then said: "Actually, I don't have this kind of thought, but the lord is in the officialdom, and I can only work hard to be a qualified official wife, and I can't live wantonly." ”

"Mrs. Lin said with a smile, I don't know how many women can't envy you on a day like this. Song Yao just had nothing to rely on, so she would embark on the road of a merchant girl. If I could, I'd rather live a simpler life and spend more time with my children. Song Yao said half-truthfully.

"You're talking." Mrs. Lin smiled lightly, took a sip of the teacup and said, "I came this time, one is to practice for you, the second is to accompany you for the previous things, and the third is that the master has something to say to me." ”

"Mrs. Lin, please speak." Song Yao's heart sank slightly, but her face was silent.

"Song Niangzi doesn't have to be nervous, the master just asked me to tell you, he has written down everything this time, and if the Hong family doesn't take him as the governor in his eyes, the master will not take care of it anymore. Song Niangzi is a capable person, if she wants to be the leader of Caoyun, she will definitely drive the economy of Caoyun, and it will also add political achievements to the master, and the master is willing to give full support. Mrs. Lin whispered.

Hearing this, Song Yao relieved herself.

Governor Lin hated Mama Hong and Second Master Lin for joining forces to poison him, and the Hong family couldn't get out of it.

But Hong Jiaming didn't do anything wrong on his face, and Governor Lin was helpless, but in his heart he wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Obviously, Governor Lin wanted Song Yao to make a knife and avenge him.

However, in a win-win situation, Song Yao would not refuse.

"The Governor is a rare and good official for the court. In business, no one has done business, but they don't want to compete to be the leader. Song Yao picked up the gold bracelet inlaid with gems and put it on her wrist, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, this bracelet is still beautiful when it is worn on Song Yao's hand?" ”

"Song Niangzi is a rare beauty, and she is good-looking." Mrs. Lin understood what Song Yao meant, so she didn't stay long, "I've also sat for a while, I won't delay your time, and when you come back, we'll get together again." ”

"Okay, when I come to Yunzhou again, I will definitely bother." Song Yao got up to send him off.

After Mrs. Lin left, Song Yao called Keren, and the master and servant talked for a long time in the study, about the business of the shipyard and how to suppress Hong Ji.

"Madame, don't worry, the slave will give you good news as soon as possible." Confident and confident.

Song Ji has always been in good terms when doing business, and he has never meant to suppress others, after all, his strength is there.

But the Hong family started first, and if they didn't pay tribute in return, wouldn't they let others see the jokes, and they would come to compete with Song Ji for business in the future, and they would play an assassination or something at every turn, which would be a bad thing.
