Chapter 252: Righteous Knot Jin Lan
glanced at the mother-in-law lightly, this is Mrs. Yun's mother-in-law who arranged for her in Yafeng Garden, and she is the steward of this courtyard.
"Hmm." Restraining her smile, Song Yao responded in a flat tone, waving her two sons to go out to play.
In the Yun family, it is natural to give Mrs. Yun face, but Song Yao does not like Mrs. Zhang in her heart.
In the end, he is a subordinate, even if he is reminded, he should watch the timing, and he is too good to speak?
Seeing that his master didn't like it, Red Sleeves handed the brocade box to Keren, smiled and took the rouge in his mother-in-law's hand, and chuckled: "My wife is used to letting the slave and maid serve her, so let's leave this makeup matter to the slave and maid, and I don't dare to have Mama Lao do it herself." ”
Red Sleeves' tone was a little respectful, but the movements under his hands did not stop, obviously not to discuss.
Mrs. Zhang's face sank, so she took two steps back with her hands in her hands, and didn't ask much, but she seemed to be happy.
Song Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two sons who were standing aside obediently: "You go out to play, it will take a while for my mother to finish here, and she is bored in the house." ”
Yun Zhongyao frowned and glanced at Mrs. Zhang, who understood the rules and reprimanded her mother in front of Song Yao.
"I have a lot of toys in my yard, do you two want to check them out?" Yun Zhongyao smiled sweetly, it was a warm invitation.
Yun Zhongyao and Song Yinbao are the same age, and according to the rules of not sitting at the same table at the age of seven, she should avoid suspicion.
But this will Yun Zhongyao is the host, if he doesn't take the initiative to speak, I'm afraid that the confession banquet has not started yet, and it will be unpleasant first.
"Miss, no, how can you let a foreign man enter your yard?" Mrs. Zhang's brows furrowed, and she immediately spoke up.
"Mother Zhang is the housekeeper of Yafeng Yuan, as long as you serve your sister wholeheartedly, it is your duty. As for what Miss Ben wants to do, she has her own grandmother to advise and her mother to control. Yun Zhongyao's voice was slightly cold.
The implication is that Mrs. Zhang, you are too lenient, don't forget that you are just a minion.
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Yun Zhongyao didn't give her a chance.
"After today, you two will have to call me aunt, I have to give you a meeting gift, otherwise someone will say that you are stingy." Yun Zhongyao smiled sweetly, and her tone was a little teasing, "Let's go, just introduce a few of my cousins and brothers to you." In the future, we will all be a family, and we don't even know who the other party is when we meet, which will be embarrassing. ”
Yun Zhongyao is not a child, and she knows how to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, although Yun Zhongyao planned to take Song Yuanbao and the others to her courtyard, she would also let people go with her, so as not to say bad things when they came.
Song Yuanbao had the intention to choke the mother-in-law for a few words, but Song Yinbao pulled his sleeves.
Today is a day of great joy, no matter who is right or wrong, there must be no trouble, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of your mother, and it will not sound good to spread it.
When Mrs. Zhang heard Yun Zhongyao say this, she didn't want to say anything.
Song Yao kept paying attention to Mrs. Zhang's face, and saw that she was just rigid in her bones, not intentionally targeting herself, so she felt a little more comfortable.
Anyway, she won't live in Yafengyuan in the future, and Mrs. Zhang is not old-fashioned at all, so she won't get into trouble.
In the future, when there is no master in this Yafeng Garden, there may be many incidents.
Until Song Yao finished dressing up, nothing happened, and the people of the Yun family didn't know whether they deliberately ignored Song Yao, or if they were ordered by Mrs. Yun not to come and disturb, but Song Yao was quiet for a moment.
During this period, Mrs. Yun asked the maid to bring some food over and let Song Yao cushion her stomach.
Because she is the protagonist today, Song Yao must eat as little as possible, and she can't often go to the toilet in front of guests, so she has to make a joke.
When it was auspicious, someone came to invite Song Yao to the hall.
Song Yao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, although her dress was simple, she was full of aura, and Fang Yi's appearance attracted everyone's attention for a hundred years.
Those with vision know even more clearly that Song Yao's outfit seems simple, but in fact, he can't get down without 200,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention that the two white hostas that Song Yao pulled her hair were crystal clear, they were priceless at a glance.
It is Song Yao's clothes, which are also worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they are still made of heavenly silk that is priceless in the market and cannot be bought without hard enough connections.
"The auspicious time has arrived." As the steward sang, several of the senior members who had been invited to be Witnesses took their seats at the top.
However, the Yun family and his wife were going to drink Song Yao's tea today, so they sat in the middle.
"On such an important day, I forgot my old bones, it's really my good son and grandson!" Just as the salute was about to recite the congratulatory message, an old man's voice sounded.
I saw that the Yun family and his wife got up to greet each other, and Yun Zhongxiao also greeted them.
The Yun family and the others looked inexplicable, but they all got up.
Song Yao didn't know who the old man was, but he also vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, so he stood still and didn't move.
It is not clear why the old man of the Yun family came out of the mountain, Song Yao can only wait and see what happens.
After the Yun family saluted, the old man waved his hand and walked towards the center, his eyes sharpened towards Song Yao.
Since the old lady of the Yun family handed over the position of head of the family, she no longer interferes in business matters, even in the affairs of her children and grandchildren.
Looking at today's arrangement, I didn't invite this old lady originally, but I don't know why he appeared.
Song Yao was suspicious in her heart, but she still followed the public to greet Old Lady Yun, and did not come forward enthusiastically, calmly letting Old Lady Yun look at her.
No matter what the guests think, they will not speak casually at this moment, after all, this is the Yun family's housework, but there are not many people who watch the excitement.
On the contrary, it was the Yun family, and many people looked at Song Yao gloatingly, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
"You are a good character with a thin gold hand, Song Yao, who is nicknamed Yafeng Lady?" After greeting a few words with several adults, Old Lady Yun looked at Song Yao and asked.
"Back to the old man's words, exactly." Song Yao bowed her head, not afraid of Old Lady Yun's scrutinizing gaze.
It's just that Old Lady Yun is sitting at the top position, and Song Yao is standing below, her eyes are level.
I saw that the old lady Yun was full of white hair, and I couldn't see that he was the slightest old-fashioned, but his face was ruddy, his eyes were sturdy, and he had a bit of Jianghu spirit.
Song Yao's frank reply was neither modest nor arrogant, as if this title had no meaning to her.
Old lady Yun looked at it for a while, and saw that Song Yao had always been in a calm manner, and suddenly burst out laughing, which made many people even more confused.
"Haha." Old lady Yun stroked her beard and laughed with anger, "This girl is good, Xiao'er, this kid has vision, and he recognized such a good girl." It's a pity that my Yun family has a big business, and I didn't cultivate such an outstanding daughter, otherwise even if Xiao'er's kid wants to set up another door, the old man doesn't have to worry about the Yun family having no successor. ”
Old lady Yun's words of praise made Song Yao frown, and Yun Zhongxiao's expression changed slightly.
Although Old Lady Yun praised Song Yao, he was also expressing Yun Zhongxiao's status to everyone, and he recognized the ability of the two, but his words undoubtedly gave the two of them hatred.
Didn't you see that after Old Lady Yun finished speaking, countless cold eyes fell on Song Yao and Yun Zhongxiao?
"The old man praised it falsely, but it was just to make a living." Song Yao responded lightly, and her tone was as usual.
Old lady Yun glanced at Song Yao deeply, then looked at Yun Zhongxiao, and after staying on the two of them for a moment, she swept towards the rest of the Yun family, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a touch of sarcasm.
"Isn't it auspicious? Don't continue? Old lady Yun said, put the brocade box on the small table next to him and said, "Old man, I'm waiting to drink a sip of tea from my granddaughter, don't grind." ”
Old lady Yun's words made Song Yao a little surprised, she thought that the old lady was here to find fault.
Everyone in the Yun family was even more surprised, this was completely different from what they expected, especially those who tried their best to stop this confession banquet, their faces were even pale.
It took so much thought for them to hand the words to the old lady, not to let the old lady give Song Yao a long face.
But no matter what everyone thinks, the old lady has already spoken, and this confession banquet will continue.
With the presence of Old Lady Yun, Mrs. Yun naturally couldn't sit on the main seat anymore, so the head of the Yun family went up to drink tea by herself.
“…… The sons and grandsons of the Yun family and the lady of the Song family have two surnames, and they tie the knot Jinlan ......" The celebrant read the congratulatory words loudly, which is the rhythm of the official beginning of the worship ceremony.
The guests are all sitting upright, no matter what they think, not giving face to the host at this time will also make people feel that they are uneducated.
Song Yao and Yun Zhongxiao stood in front of the incense case and accepted everyone's attention.
After the salute finished reading the congratulatory speech, Song Yao and Yun Zhongxiao each took the incense handed over by their subordinates, knelt on the futon, and solemnly kowtowed to the emperor and the queen of heaven.
"I am in the clouds\ Song Yao, I wish to marry Jinlan ......" a set of familiar vows issued from the mouths of the two.
After the incense was inserted into the incense burner, the two of them took knives and cut their fingers, dripped into the wine, and drank the wine mixed with blood, which was considered to complete another ritual.
The next step is to bow to Old Lady Yun and the head of the Yun family, and you will also receive gifts from your elders.
Witnesses can simply bow and do not need to bow.
Because Song Yao didn't remember her origin, she naturally didn't have to respect the Song family, but saved a little trouble.
After worshipping the elders, you must also worship the ancestors.
However, Song Yao is a woman, and she has no intention of inheriting the name of the Yun family, so she only worships outside the ancestral hall.
Even if Song Yao will not change her surname, she still has to add her name to the Yun family tree, so that Song Yao's identity as a righteous daughter will be officially recognized, and the Yun family will have to treat Song Yao as a young lady in the long house.
But in this era of the Nine Clans, Song Yao has tied himself to the Yun family in the same boat after this swearing, and it is not easy to clear up the relationship.
After the ceremony is complete, the next step is the wine banquet.
Song Yao is a woman, but she doesn't need to go to the man's side to toast, so she has been following Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Yun introduces the ladies to her.
This banquet was much more invited than the banquet that Mrs. Yun specially arranged for Song Yao, and most of the people who came to the formal banquet were the masters of the house, so Song Yao had to treat each other attentively.
After the toast from table to table, Mrs. Yun took Song Yao back to the main table, today she is the protagonist, even if she is low, she doesn't have to sit in another position.
The main table is all ladies with relatively high status, the wives of the prime ministers on the left and right, and the wives of the six Shangshu, plus Mrs. Yun and Song Yao, it happens to be a table.
Because there is no Mrs. Tai in the Yun Mansion, all the ladies who are of the same generation as Mrs. Yun are invited, at least in terms of age, plus the status is precious, so they are qualified to be on the main throne.
"Song Niangzi is so talented, and she is so good at making money, I really don't know how much your family will regret that if you are so capable, they will regret not being able to take a good look at you, and lose a God of Wealth!" In a harmonious atmosphere, Mrs. Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke in a strange tone.
