After the county magistrates went back, because they offended Song Yao and did not get the promise of the Hu family, they all offended their husbands, and they were more or less punished for this incident.

Everyone is an official, and a useful person who is on Hu Youwei will naturally investigate his details, how can he not know that Hu Youwei has no backers, and he is a master who knows how to be flexible.

Obviously, there must be a master behind Song Yao who Hu Youwei is unwilling to offend, otherwise he would not be stupid enough to offend so many colleagues for the sake of a businesswoman.

After a period of time, Song Yao received many guests one after another, but none of them were from Hongyuan County.

But no matter which county order sent someone to give a gift, or coercion and temptation, Song Yao refused, and the red sleeves would hint at how to make Song Yao change her mind when giving it away.

Those ladies who have offended Song Yao will have to suffer for a while.

Someone sent it to the door to vent Song Yao's anger, and she would not miss such an opportunity.

And those county officials who came to participate in the wedding banquet of Hufu in person should be glad that they did not offend Song Yao and could get the method of improving the foot of the mountain in the early stage, but they would not be stupid to make it public and let people share their political achievements.

Yongzhou Mansion, Qin family.

"What do you think?" After reading the letter sent by Mrs. Zheng, the old lady of the Qin family asked the new head of the family, Uncle Qin.

"Then the backer behind Song Yao should be bigger than Song Ge Lao in the capital, so this Hu Youwei will try his best to protect her." Uncle Qin said.

"Song Pavilion doesn't like to participate in those battles in the imperial court, if it weren't for the fact that the second master of the Song family has a little real power, and often pulls the banner of the Pavilion Mansion to do things, our Qin family can't rely on the big tree of the Pavilion Mansion at all." Old Lady Qin got up, walked to the porch and teased the canary in the cage, and said to Uncle Qin: "This Mrs. Zheng is also a brainless idiot, you don't have to pay attention to sending such a letter without investigating clearly." ”

"But Mrs. Zheng's mother family is not something we can offend." Uncle Qin frowned.

"Let's take a look." Old lady Qin fed the birds water, and said in a somewhat low tone: "If the Qin nobles can give birth to a dragon son, it will be the greatest guarantee for our Qin family, once they become imperial merchants, even the government will also give face to the Qin family." You should focus on this, and you can't wronged the Qin nobles. ”

When he mentioned his daughter-in-law, Uncle Qin had a smug smile on his face.

"Father rest assured, he will never wronged the nobles, whether the Qin family can go further still needs the support of the nobles." Uncle Qin couldn't hide his joy.

Old Lady Qin glanced at Uncle Qin, frowned, and said, "Don't be too happy, count the days, Qin Guiren is only five months pregnant, and it is not so easy to give birth to the imperial heir safely." ”

"Your nobleman's letter just arrived yesterday, and the queen is very protective of her, and there will be no problems." Uncle Qin said busily.

"Stupid!" Old lady Qin snorted, and Uncle Qin was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up.

"Why did my father say that?" Uncle Qin asked puzzled.

"Don't you know the situation in Beijing?" Old Lady Qin pointed at Uncle Qin and scolded: "Qin Guiren has no brains, don't you know how to remind her?" You guys are going to ruin the Qin family and ruin my layout for many years! ”

"Father, what did we do wrong? Although the crown prince was deposed, with the support of the queen's maternal family, sooner or later he will make a comeback. And after all, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and only with the queen mother protecting the nobles can the heir be born smoothly......"

"Shut up! Ahem...... "Old lady Qin was angry and coughed.

Uncle Qin hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Old Lady Qin.

"What's in your head? After cultivating you for so many years, you don't know how to judge the situation as the head of the family, and it is the old man's fault that the Qin family is in your hands! Old Lady Qin clutched her chest and regretted it.

"Ask my father for advice." Seeing that Old Lady Qin couldn't bear it, Uncle Qin had to ask for advice with an attitude of admitting his mistakes.

"Why was the crown prince deposed? Haven't you even checked it? Even if you can't find out about the royal secrets, you should hear those rumors, right? And Jiang Nancao has such a big thing, don't you take it to heart at all? The Cao family is a hundred-year-old family, but it is not a secret that they support the crown prince! The abolished prince is really finished this time, and the queen will ...... sooner or later"

Old Lady Qin waved his hand and asked Uncle Qin to help him sit down.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Old Lady Qin continued: "No matter which prince wins in the end, there is no room for the queen, or even the queen's mother. If the Qin family is attached to the queen at this time, it is already a great gift not to be questioned by the new monarch in the future, don't think about going further. ”

"Can the Empress allow this to happen?" Uncle Qin's face turned pale, and he said unconfidently: "Is my father too worried?" With the power of the queen and her mother's family, she will definitely be able to protect the deposed prince and return to the imperial court......"

"You don't understand." Old Lady Qin leaned back in her chair weakly, full of disappointment for Uncle Qin, "The matter has come to this, and it is impossible to escape from the name of the queen's henchmen." You immediately go and repair a book, and let Qin Guiren be careful in everything, I'm afraid that she will be used as a pawn. At that time, not only will you not be honored, but you will also lose the opportunity you have now. ”

Uncle Qin knew his father's ability, and when he heard Old Lady Qin say this, he didn't dare to have any luck.

"Father rest assured, son will go and write a letter." Uncle Qin called someone to take care of the old lady Qin, and immediately walked out of the old lady's yard quickly.

Old lady Qin sat on the rocking chair, instantly aged by more than ten years, and there was nothing but anxiety in her eyes.

The Qin family's move was wrong, how easy is it to get back on track?

Not to mention that because of the Qin family's side of the line, they didn't bother with Mrs. Zheng's explanation, let alone go to Song Yao's trouble.

Her career is already on track, and Song Yao doesn't have to be as busy as before, Song Yao is very comfortable here.

When he was idle, he let the secret guards compete with the killers, so that Song Yao really experienced the excitement of the masters of the rivers and lakes.

Of course, Song Yao will also learn a few self-defense moves when she has time.

With Song Yao's age, it is impossible to become a master, it takes time to practice internal strength, and it is best to start from a doll.

Therefore, Song Yao can only learn a little fur, and when it is dangerous, he can increase his safety by a few points.

Especially in Chunhongyuan County, it has reached the season of spring flowers, and Song Yao and others go out to the capital for outings, picnics, or go to Zhuangzi to live for a while.

Song Yao didn't know much about the improvement of the mountain behind Zhuangzi, and he still needed a few stewards to explore experience.

Of course, Song Yao's purpose is not only to make the mountain waft out of the fruity aroma, but also to transplant the various spices she needs in a large area, which is also the reason why she wanted to buy the mountain in the first place.

However, the benefits can only be seen around the beginning of autumn.

"Madam, Mrs. Hu is here." As soon as Song Yao entered the gate of the Song Mansion, the lovely man who stayed behind walked over quickly and said, "It seems that someone is from the capital, Madame, go and take a look." ”

He Liansheng raised his eyebrows, took Song Yuanbao's hand and said, "Your mother has something to do, and my uncle will take you to play."

"Okay." Song Yuanbao nodded sensibly.

"What do you say?" Song Yao asked.

Helian Sheng didn't like to see people in the capital, and it was not proper to go to see Mrs. Hu, so Song Yao didn't wonder why he avoided it.

"Nope." Keren shook his head, "But seeing Mrs. Hu's happy face, it should be a good thing." ”

"A good thing?" Song Yao raised her eyebrows, she didn't know what she had to do with the capital.

Although He Liansheng is a person from the capital, their relationship has not been made public, and it is impossible to have anything to do with Helian Sheng.

When the master and servant came to the flower hall, Mrs. Hu got up with a smile and greeted her.

"Song Niangzi really has the ability, if it weren't for someone from the capital, I wouldn't have known that you were the kitchen god of this year. It was also my negligence that I forgot to talk to Song Niangzi about the Kitchen God Competition, if Song Niangzi missed this competition, it would be my sin. Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

"I also had the idea of going to the south on the fly, and if it weren't for a friend there to help sign up, I would have been too late when I arrived." Song Yao smiled lightly and helped Mrs. Hu sit down.

"Don't talk about this, I'm here to give you good news today." Mrs. Hu lowered her voice and said: "The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and the Queen Mother has made a decree to invite you to go to the capital to prepare the imperial meal for the birthday banquet with the imperial kitchen." This is a great gift, and naturally it is also a reward. ”

"Isn't that going to the palace?" Song Yao frowned slightly, she didn't want to enter that place with a lot of rules.

Be careful at all times, or you'll lose your head.

No matter how many secret guards and dead soldiers dare not bring them in, who can guarantee her safety?

Of course, what Song Yao doesn't like even more is that she has to kneel when she sees someone, and she feels that her knees hurt when she thinks about it.

I didn't expect Song Yao to react like this, but it made Mrs. Hu a little stunned, and it took a while to understand Song Yao's worries.

"This is not the first time such an arrangement, and Song Niangzi doesn't have to worry too much. Song Niangzi is not a person in the palace, she has to live alone, and she will not come into contact with the masters in the palace. Besides, the palace will send people to teach the rules, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, it's fine. ”

Mrs. Hu turned sideways and whispered: "I heard that the imperial chef will also be searched before entering the imperial dining room, and it is still divided into several levels, and the ingredients have been inspected, so don't be afraid of someone doing anything." ”

Hearing this, Song Yao nodded and said, "Thank you aunt for telling me, I can feel more at ease." ”

Since it was the queen's decree, Song Yao had no right to refuse at all.

This is the era when the imperial power is in power, even if the queen is not favored and the abolished prince loses power, he is still a royal person, not a poor person who can compete with.

At this moment, Song Yao realized that she was still far from being strong, and there was still a long way to go, at least she would have to succumb to the imperial power.

Seeing that Song Yao had no intention of refusing, Hu Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise Hu Youwei would be charged with being unfavorable, his official position could not be kept, and he would be wronged if he lost his head.

"Song Niangzi, go change your clothes and go to the county government to receive the decree." Mrs. Hu urged: "The people who came to deliver the decree don't know that Song Niangzi has returned to Hongyuan County, and she is rushing from Yunzhou City, I'm afraid that time is a little urgent." ”

"Aunt Lao waits for a while, and Song Yao will go back when she goes." Song Yao looked at the lovely person and ordered: "Go to the kitchen to prepare some exquisite snacks and secret dishes, and bring them with you, so that your aunt can greet your guests." ”

The order is to bathe and change clothes, Song Yao must at least make a appearance, otherwise the hat of the big disrespect will be buttoned down, and she will also suffer.

"You girl just has a heart, and your aunt is not polite to you." Mrs. Hu did not refuse.

After all, it is from the palace, although the status of the Hu family is not their turn to stand in line, but they dare not offend, and they have to serve like an uncle.

Song Yao left with red sleeves, and there was no conversation along the way, thinking about things separately.
