Song Yao accepted Red Sleeves' suggestion, and chose nearly half of his day's results to leave in the mansion for human favors.

Only the best things were selected, or they were brought with them, or they were sent to the capital.

When Hu Jiayue's wedding team returned to the capital, it was not safe to give it to Hu Jiayue again, and it was not safe on the road.

However, the list still has to be listed, one is directly given to Hu Jiayue along with the gift, and the other is given to the list first.

Song Yao did not mention meeting Xiao Jinsu in the jewelry store, leaving this time, at least before the end of the year, he will not come back, and he may not be able to see Xiao Jinsu again, so there is no need to take it to heart.

Helian Sheng was in love, but Xiao Jinsu didn't please her, and she was pregnant with Liujia, for the sake of the face of the concubine, Helian Sheng let her go.

On the way back to Hongyuan County, the group was not as playful as when they came, except for worrying that Heliansheng's body would not be able to bear it and resting more.

After about a month, I finally set foot on the boundary of Hongyuan County.

Yun Zhongxiao was separated from Song Yao and others in Yongzhou Mansion to do his own business.

"Madame, you are finally back, the slave misses you so much." But people have always been introverted women, but when they saw Song Yao and the others coming back, they couldn't help but redden.

"It's so good, why are you crying? Well, give Mrs. Ben a smile. Seeing the lovely person, Song Yao teased.

"Madame!" The person stomped his feet in shame, and didn't let Song Yao tease him.

"Alright, you get to know each other." Song Yao took the red sleeves and the lovely hand, and said with a smile: "You have to get along well in the future, and when Kexin comes back, you will get acquainted with her again." It's not easy for me to train the three of you. ”

The two glanced at each other's outfits, and knew that it was the celebrity next to Song Yao, so they immediately greeted each other and briefly introduced each other's names.

As for the acquaintance, it will not be done until the master is properly placed.

"What's the matter lately, tell Mrs. Ben Lele." Song Yao sat on the main seat and asked with a smile.

Song Yuanbao fell asleep in the carriage, and Helian Sheng carried him back to the room to rest, and Song Yao didn't have to consider other people's feelings.

Sitting in the carriage all day long, sleeping when bored, Song Yao is really not sleepy.

"Everything is fine at home, but there is no fun. There is one thing that should be told to Madame, but Madame should not be in a hurry when she hears it. But the man hesitated and poured Song Yao a cup of tea.

"Say it." Song Yao waved his hand and signaled that he could speak bluntly.

"Miss Hu's wedding date is approaching, and someone from the capital has sent someone to greet her, but she has assigned a maid from the prospective aunt, with a matchmaker and a few nursing homes, which clearly looks down on Miss Hu."

Keren frowned and said: "Madame asked people to bring back special products, and the slave maid sent them to Hu Mansion, and I heard the little maid and the matchmaker say that the county lord's queen was shabby, and said that Miss Hu's dowry was not very good, and when she went to the capital in the future, she couldn't be a young lady who was in charge, and sooner or later she had to make room for it." ”

Song Yao's face sank, she didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite.

Not to mention that the Hu family will prepare a dowry for Hu Jiayue, even the dowry will be sent back as a dowry, and she has already given a large dowry.

Hu Jiayue, as the daughter of the county order, such a dowry is definitely rich.

"Keren, you have done things in a big family before, do you know that the family that Jiayue is going to marry, how much silver is the dowry that is in line with today's market?" Song Yao asked.

"The other party is just a side branch, and he is only a six-grade petty official in the capital, and Miss Hu's dowry is reasonable, but it is not yet outstanding. The new aunt's family clearly felt that the status of Miss Hu's mother's family was inferior to theirs, so they dared to say such a thing and looked down on Miss Hu. The man replied.

Song Yao was silent for a while, then raised her lips and sneered: "This marriage can't be canceled, otherwise I really want to make it yellow." With such a minion, the master's family is no better. ”

"Madame is wrong this time." Keren shook his head and said: "The slave maid has talked to Xiaolian, the new aunt is the eldest son and grandson, and he is a humble and polite person, and this family affair is also given by the other party's maternal grandfather." But his biological mother passed away early, and his grandfather's family was in the middle of the road. Now that the stepmother is in charge, this stepmother is a powerful person, and she gave birth to two sons-in-law one after another, so she wants to squeeze out the new aunt. The person who greeted the kiss was arranged by the stepmother, probably to make Miss Hu resentful. ”

Song Yao nodded, she hadn't investigated the man, and she hadn't heard Hu Jiayue mention it, but she didn't know that there was still this stubble.

"Red sleeves, let people put the dowry for Jiayue in the carriage, and bring the pot of red coral, let's support Jiayue." Song Yao turned his head to Keren and instructed: "Go to the warehouse, find some gold, silver and peanuts for rewards, and put two boxes on me, as well as those brocades that can't be used, and also two big boxes." ”

The two girls had been following Song Yao for a long time, and they understood what Song Yao meant, so they were busy arranging their own arrangements.

Half an hour later, Song Yao came to the backyard of the county government with a heavy gift.

Song Yao is a frequent visitor to the Hu family, and Mrs. Hu has specially explained that Song Yao can be allowed to visit directly, and no one will be embarrassed.

It's just that Song Yao kept moving things to the county office, but the porter was blinded, and he was busy going to Mrs. Hu to report.

Song Yao, accompanied by two big girls, walked towards Hu Jiayue's small courtyard, followed by rough mothers-in-law holding heavy objects.

The family can only follow at the back when carrying things, and they have to stop outside Hu Jiayue's courtyard, otherwise they will ruin Hu Jiayue's reputation.

"Miss Hu's brain can't remember things? This newcomer ceremony is not like this, when the time comes, it will disgrace the adults, and the eldest young master will also be trained. The matchmaker sat on the chair, swallowing melon seeds and teaching Miss Hu, who was prostrating, to find fault without looking.

Hu Jiayue's forehead was already red and swollen, and Xiaolian wiped her tears in distress on the side, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Who made the other party a Beijing official, and the Hu family is just a local petty official.

Song Yao, who was standing at the door, immediately sank his face.

A matchmaker dares to make things so difficult for Hu Jiayue, how can she have a good life after getting married?

"Jiayue, my sister is back, don't you ignore me?" Song Yao smiled and spoke, pretending not to see anything.

Hu Jiayue's body stiffened, and she murmured, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" ”

"Miss, it's really Song Niangzi who is back, look at it!" Xiaolian took the opportunity to help Hu Jiayue up, and tears of excitement were about to flow out.

At least there are guests, and the matchmaker can toss her master a little less.

"Sister!" Hu Jiayue was so happy that she forgot the rules and ran to Song Yao's side quickly, but was just about to hug when she was stopped by a cough from the matchmaker.

"Sure enough, it's a young lady raised in a small place, and she doesn't even understand some rules, it's really a shame for the eldest young master." The matchmaker snorted.

Hu Jiayue's smile froze, and the embarrassed Song Yao entered the room and sat down, but she had to restrain herself.

The matchmaker sat there munching melon seeds, without evasion, and she didn't bother to tease her eyelids.

"What about small places? At least we know the rules as subordinates, and the subordinates who come out of the big place are still subordinates, and they don't even distinguish between respect and inferiority, so it can be seen that ......" Red Sleeves said half of his words, and shook his head disdainfully, as long as he was not a fool, he could hear it.

The matchmaker's face stiffened, but she still didn't mean to get up, she just stared at the red sleeves viciously, and she couldn't wait to slap the red sleeves twice.

"Originally, I just wanted a sister to defend herself, but I didn't expect that this would be used before I got on the sedan chair." Song Yao took out a delicate box from her sleeve.

The white fingers were dipped in ointment, treating the redness and swelling of Hu Jiayue's forehead.

Song Yao said softly: "This is something in the palace, it is the best way to treat bruises, even slight scars can be removed." I'll have someone bring you another bottle, this woman's face is the most important. Even if you don't look like a woman who pleases herself, when you look in the mirror, it's pleasing to the eye. ”

"It's good for my sister to keep such a valuable thing, how can my sister accept it?" Hu Jiayue hurriedly excused himself.

"You and my sister, what are these things outside the body, the most important thing is that my sister can use them." Song Yao looked at the red sleeves and ordered: "Bring the glass mirror that was obtained from overseas, let my sister take a closer look, this delicate little face is haggard." ”

Red Sleeves understood, went to take the glass mirror to the house, and motioned for the mothers-in-law to enter the house in turn.

"This glass mirror is a rare thing, I heard that it is very popular in the capital, and a palm-sized piece costs a hundred and ten taels of silver, but only those big official clan families can buy it."

Red Sleeves stood in front of Hu Jiayue with a mirror with fine workmanship and a size larger than a pu fan.

He said regretfully: "Madame originally wanted to prepare a one-person-high dressing mirror for Miss Hu, but it was difficult to ship such a large mirror, so Madame had to prepare two pieces of this size, and the other one for Mrs. Hu." ”

The glass mirror is expensive, and a six-pin Beijing official mansion is afraid that you can't get a small piece.

But as soon as Song Yao made a move, it was two-sided, and this magnanimity was definitely a slap in the face.

Even if the matchmaker can't tell the difference between good and bad items, she can see the difference in the glass mirror, and it is impossible not to admit that these dowries are valuable.

But the person took out a palm-sized mirror on the side, and said deliciously: "Miss Hu's position in Madame's heart is much more important than those of us who have been serving for a long time, and the slave maid only got such a small piece as a reward, and she was like a baby." ”

Hu Jiayue was speechless about this, and she had seen this mirror when she was a guest at the prefect's house.

However, the prefect's daughter is only the size of the hand, and the workmanship is not as delicate as the lovely one, and the price is nearly two hundred taels, and the key is that you can't buy it with silver.

Hu Jiayue was still envious at that time, and many official ladies wanted to have a piece.

"Madame also prepared a few small glass mirrors, which Miss Hu used for rewarding is also good." Red Sleeves put the mirror on the table next to Hu Jiayue, handed the two lists to Hu Jiayue, and said with a smile: "This is the makeup that Mrs. prepared for Miss Hu, part of it will be sent to the house today, and the other part will be sent directly to the capital. ”

After Hu Jiayue read the list, she opened her mouth but couldn't speak, this makeup is more than all her dowry, and it is a dowry from her husband's family, which is not as valuable as the list of dollars.

"Miss Hu, don't forget to add everything on the list to the dowry list, this is Miss Hu's private property, and it will be passed on to her children and grandchildren in the future." Redsleeves said loudly.

The mother-in-law has put most of the things in the house, and some large items are placed in the yard, which is jaw-dropping.

After all, Song Yao and Hu Jiayue are just sworn sisters, and such a heavy makeup is unbelievable.

Seeing the matchmaker's eyes staring at Tian Makeup, Red Sleeves opened her purse, grabbed a few gold and silver peanuts and stuffed them into her hands, and said proudly: "Seeing that you have eaten so many melon seeds, you must be thirsty, this is used for tea, and the taste is excellent." ”

The matchmaker weighed her weight, and suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said busily: "I remember that I still have some things, so I'll be busy first, and I won't disturb Miss Hu and the distinguished guests." ”

But the man snorted, and looked down on this kind of greedy person the most.

"Sister, I can't take it, it's too valuable." As soon as the matchmaker left, Hu Jiayue immediately refused.
