Chapter 234: Ice on the Ground
The next day, after Song Yao's mother and son finished breakfast, Song Yuanbao went to Mr. to study his homework, and he was very conscious.
Song Yao took the prepared gifts and went to Xia Mansion to visit Hu Jiayue.
Since Mrs. Xia was sent away, Hu Jiayue, the eldest and youngest grandmother, has become the head of the house, and the people of the entire Xia Mansion have respected her.
The father-in-law will not embarrass Hu Jiayue, and the brother-in-law must also observe etiquette, and there are not many opportunities to meet Hu Jiayue.
No one makes it difficult, the relationship between husband and wife is good, Hu Jiayue's complexion is much better, plus she eats a lot when she is pregnant, and she is also a lot plump, which adds more charm than before she got married.
"My sister is here, why did she bring so many things?" Hu Jiayue knew that Song Yao was a guest, so she came out to greet her in person, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my sister, my sister's private money is getting more and more, and now she lacks nothing." ”
"Since they're sisters, do you still need to see each other like this?" Song Yao chuckled, looked at Hu Jiayue's stomach and teased: "You are all a double person, why did you come out to greet me?" Aren't you afraid that I'll turn back again? ”
"If it were someone else, I would at most let Xiaolian go out to greet her, but my sister has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and my sister hates to give birth to wings to see my sister, and she can't sit still in the house." Hu Jiayue's words are not hypocritical.
Although in the past few months, I have made a lot of friends with ladies and ladies in the capital.
But there are no people who know the heart, everyone can just get together at the party, and there is nothing to do and nothing to move around on weekdays.
Hu Jiayue's mother is not strong, if she wasn't modeling Song Yao, she would be able to speak in Song Ji, and she wouldn't have so many invitations to invite her.
However, Hu Jiayue was not angry, and was grateful to Song Yao.
In any case, it is always good to know a few more people, and you can't just go about your life behind closed doors.
"Forget it this time, don't do it again next time. Toss my nephew I haven't met, be careful that I get angry with you. Song Yao smiled lightly, held Hu Jiayue's arm and asked, "This month, you should be able to know if it's a boy or a girl, right?" What did the doctor say? ”
"It's a boy." Hu Jiayue said with a smile: "Actually, I hope to be a girl, and they all say that my daughter is intimate, and the boy is too naughty, I am really afraid that the education will not be good." ”
"My son has been raised, and he is as intimate." Thinking of her son, Song Yao's smile was much gentler, "Jiayue, this child was born, take it with you as much as possible, so that the child will be closer to you." Nurse or something, it's okay to take a hand, where can you take care of the child as thoughtful as your mother? And after all, the nurse is a subordinate, she can only take care of the child's warmth and cold, but she doesn't dare to really educate the little master, which is also a disadvantage. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too." Speaking of children, Hu Jiayue's smile also brightened a little, "My sister taught Yuanbao so well, when my child is born, I have to ask my sister for advice." If this kid can have half the sensible and intelligent ingots, I will be relieved. ”
"You can't say that, every child has his own advantages, and he is irreplaceable in the hearts of his parents, be careful that the child will taste it." Song Yao smiled: "Besides, I don't remember the past, you ask me for advice, don't you want to embarrass me?" ”
Hu Jiayue frowned in annoyance, she didn't mean to say this, she was afraid that Song Yao would be sad.
looked sideways at Song Yao, and saw that she did not have a calm demeanor or a sad attitude, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is my sister Jiangnan's business? The glass mirror, now how many noble ladies are vying to buy it, even the palace also entrusts people to book. I don't even dare to tell others, sister, you gave me two big pieces, so I can only close the door and use it. Hu Jiayue diverted the topic.
"It's the kind of effect you want, if it's not hard to find, how can you sell it for a good price?" Speaking of the glass mirror, Song Yao's mood was also a little happier, it was a lucrative business, "Since it is given to you, it will be used generously, others are envious and jealous, who makes them not as blessed as you, there is such a good sister." ”
Song Yao's joking words made Xiaolian laugh out loud.
However, Xiaolian also admitted that Song Yao was right, it was really a blessing for her master to have such a sister.
It has snowed a few times in the capital, and the courtyard of the Xia Mansion is very clean, but the ground of the stone slabs is still a little slippery.
Afraid that Hu Jiayue would fall, Song Yao helped her walk cautiously, and kept an eye on the ground while talking, and found that there were a few pieces of thin ice in an inconspicuous place.
If you don't look closely, it's really easy to step on.
"Xiaolian, let someone clean up the yard again. Your master is pregnant, and it's too unsafe to have such thin ice on the road. Helping Hu Jiayue to take a few steps, Song Yao said to Xiaolian.
If it were someone else, Song Yao would remind him at most, and he would never say it so clearly.
Xiaolian's face changed, and she said angrily: "The slave maid also checked it yesterday, and the yard is clean. ”
Hu Jiayue frowned, obviously understanding what was going on.
didn't want Song Yao to worry, Hu Jiayue smiled and said, "Maybe it was the water traces that I accidentally left when I was cleaning today." It's not a big deal, just go back and let someone clean it up again. ”
Hu Jiayue's voice was very gentle, and Xiaolian, who was about to mutter, saw her warning gaze and hurriedly swallowed her words back.
Seeing this, Song Yao also cooperated: "Jiayue is right, in this winter, when cleaning, it is easy to fall water stains, but it will become ice." Xiaolian, when Jiayue goes out in the future, you can hold on to your side and pay more attention to your feet. ”
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Xia family has no old pious woman, but her son is still in the house.
Regardless of whether it is suspected that Mrs. Xia's accident is related to Hu Jiayue and his wife, he must not want to see them have children in this vein.
As long as the eldest son has no heirs, he, the second young master from the stepfamily, will have the opportunity to inherit the family business in the future.
Moreover, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although Mrs. Xia has been abandoned, but she has many people in her hands, and she holds the handle of those people, and it is not impossible to do something in the Xia Mansion.
Unless the people in Xia Mansion are all cleaned up, and a new batch is replaced, it will be much better.
But this is the Xia family's business, Song Yao can't get involved, it depends on whether Hu Jiayue can think of it.
A person's life is too long, and Hu Jiayue should also grow up by herself.
Lunch was used here in the Xia Mansion, and after Song Yao finished lunch, she said goodbye and left.
Hu Jiayue is pregnant, so she should rest more, and Song Yao is also used to taking a nap.
After returning home, the housekeeper sent a post to Song Yao, which was handed over by Mrs. Yun, inviting Song Yao to see the plum blossoms.
"Mrs. Yun can let people talk?" Song Yao looked at the post and asked.
"The descendants of the Yun family said that this plum banquet invited many official wives and business partners, and asked the lady to appreciate her face." The butler replied.
"yes, got it." Song Yao nodded and ordered: "According to the rules of the capital, the official family should go and prepare gifts." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper received the order, and Song Yao was a little surprised that she didn't let Red Sleeves prepare, but she didn't ask much.
"Thirty percent heavier than normal." Song Yao added.
When the housekeeper heard this, he understood why Song Yao asked him to prepare, this was the importance of Mrs. Yun, and he was afraid that the red sleeves would not understand the rules of the capital and make a mistake.
Thinking about it this way, the housekeeper's attitude was also a little more rigorous.
"Madam, don't worry, the old slave knows what to do." The housekeeper answered and went out to do things.
Red sleeves came over with ginseng tea, and when he saw Song Yao sitting there pondering, he didn't bother.
"Red Sleeves, you said that Mrs. Yun helped me so much, should I pay a salute?" Song Yao picked up the teacup and asked.
"Mrs. Yun must be looking at Yun Gongzi's face, so she will make a move so quickly. As Mrs. Yun said, Mrs. and Mr. Yun are brothers and sisters, and you are also half of Mrs. Yun's daughter, so you should be filial. After the red sleeves finished speaking, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "It's just that the Yun family is in chaos now, although Mrs. Yun's move is beneficial to Mrs., but it also has disadvantages." ”
"You mean those beam-jumping clowns of the Yun family?" Song Yao asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." Red sleeves nodded and said: "Those people in the Yun family, in the way of Mrs. Yun and Mr. Yun's face, don't dare to embarrass Mrs. on the surface, but the Yun family has so many in-laws, there is no guarantee that they will do something." ”
Hearing this, Song Yao sneered: "Even if you don't open up this relationship, those people will still come to find fault, maybe they are more powerful masters than them." ”
Red Sleeves thought about it for a while, and felt that Song Yao's words were right, so he was silent.
Song Ji's business is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are testing who Song Yao's backer is, but they don't dare to make much move.
If the Yun family caused chaos from it, those people would be quiet for a while, and it would be more beneficial for them to watch the fire from across the strait.
Yun Jia.
Due to the approaching end of the year, there are many trivial things in the big family, and it is obviously inappropriate to hold a flower-viewing banquet at this time.
Mrs. Keyun is the head of the house, and no one dares to question what she wants to do, but there are a lot of discussions in private.
"Isn't the eldest lady in the brain? The New Year is approaching, and the affairs in the house are still too busy, and there is still a flower-viewing banquet to be held, and it is set to be in such a hurry, which is obviously embarrassing a few of us. Mrs. Yun Wu said with an indignant face.
The Yun family is a big family that does business, and if the son of the head of the family is outstanding, he will be in charge of part of the family's business, and even the concubine will have the opportunity to be favored.
But the concubine is not qualified to compete for the position of the head of the family, and it is even more difficult for the concubine of the side branch to get ahead, and there is only a share of paving the way for the concubine.
The husband of the fifth lady is a concubine, but the fifth master has the ability, and the father of the fifth lady is an official, although she is also a concubine, but she has always had some status among the concubines, and her temper is also the worst.
The second lady glanced at a few concubines, her husband is also a concubine, but his ability is not as good as that of the fifth master, and his background is worse than that of several other concubines, he has always been very good at talking, but he is the most scheming.
The third lady has a gentle temperament, at least in front of outsiders, and no one can find fault with her.
"The fifth brother and sister don't complain, the sister-in-law must have her considerations when she does this." The third lady's husband is a concubine, but he is the eldest son of the second room, and his ability to do things is also very mediocre, but the third lady is from an official family, but it also has a bit of weight.
The fourth lady is the only special, her husband is the younger brother of the Yun family's mother, and her mother's family is also a big family, although she is the second daughter, she is the most compatible with her husband's identity.
It's just that these four masters are the most romantic, there are more than a dozen concubines in the family, and recently there is an outer room outside, and the love between husband and wife is not left.
But Sifen has a pair of dragon and phoenix children, for the sake of these children, she can't help but fight, and no one dares to underestimate her.
"If the fifth brother and sister are too busy, leave the matter in your hands to me. The Yun family is a big family, and since the post of the banquet has been sent, it can't be seen as a joke. The fourth lady spoke.
