Chapter 5: Substitution into the Palace
More than half a month has passed since this incident, and in a blink of an eye, it is the third day of the first month of August, and Junyu suddenly realized that he was too comfortable and less vigilant. In his previous life, he entered the Beijing draft in September, and it seems that there is only less than a month left, but the Song Mansion has not made any movement about this matter.
Aunt Cheng sat in her small courtyard every day and copied scriptures, and rarely talked to Junyu. And because of the shoulder injury that day, Junyu also resigned from many things and stayed in the room. I opened the door today and saw Ruizhu talking to Aunt Cheng in the courtyard, and saw Junyu get up and say hello again and again.
"Do you run me here every day to be lazy?" Junyu joked.
Aunt Cheng didn't talk much when she saw her, packed up her things and went back to the house very consciously and closed the door, but in fact, she was still lying on the door and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
Ruizhu grinned. "The second lady is locked in the embroidery building every day, of course I have nothing to do, so I can only come to you to play." As she spoke, she propped up her conscious head and sighed. "You said that adults are too, and they haven't released Miss after being locked up for so long. Didn't the poor boy surnamed Sun have the courage to quit this family business! Miss is really pathetic! ”
Jun Yu pursed her lips and didn't answer, she took a sip of tea and said casually: "The young master has not been married yet, why are you in such a hurry to marry the young lady, it's really a joke for outsiders to see it." ”
"Yes, I also told my wife, but I didn't expect to be glared at." Rui Zhu lay on the table aggrievedly. "Madame said that the marriage should be finalized this month."
"This month? I'm in such a hurry. Junyu lowered his eyes to savor this sentence.
She doesn't think that Song Ji is so difficult to marry, she looks good and has a good family background, although she has a bigger temperament, she is not unpopular. In the previous life, after he entered the East Palace, Song Ji got married, and married the King of Lingnan as a side concubine, because he was a prince with a different surname, so Meng Lang did not deal a blow to the Lingnan Palace when he usurped the dynasty, and Song Ji was also stable for a lifetime. It just responds to what Mrs. Song Wang always said: It is not an exaggeration to marry the royal family.
"Hey, why do I hear a loud noise?" Rui Zhu straightened up suddenly, listening back and forth with a pair of ears pricked up.
Jun Yu calmed down and listened, and did hear a slight noise, but he didn't pay attention to it. Rui Zhu, who likes to join in the fun, pulled Junyu and looked in the direction of the sound. The two of them came to the gate of the Song Mansion, and saw Song Ninghai, Song Wang's and Song Han from a distance, knowing that it was a big deal, and immediately hid behind the rockery to take a sneak look.
"Junyu, look, who is that?" Rui Zhu pointed to a man standing in front of Song Ninghai, twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in official uniforms, with his chin raised and a look of disdain, while Song Ninghai was whispering in front of him.
Jun Yu glanced at it and knew in his heart, this must be the green envoy from the palace. Because of the distance, the two of them just heard the human voice but couldn't hear it really, and they opened their eyes to see the people in the distance as if they were dumb, which could make Rui Zhu's heart itch.
"Since it's a big deal, I can't hide it for a few days." Junyu said to Ruizhu. "And after today, we will know."
Cai Qing envoy only came to the Song Mansion, and many officials in Jiangling did not have such treatment. Suddenly, the servants of the Song Mansion were all smiling, they thought that Song Ji was more beautiful than a fairy, her lips were red without dots, her eyebrows were not painted and green, she was a big beauty.
However, although the servants were happy, the surname Song was not contaminated with joy at all, especially since Song Ninghai received the holy decree, his temper became strange, and he was angry and smashed his cup at every turn. And Song Wang's family hid in the house and cried every day, how could there be half a girl who was going to get married, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a funeral.
Aunt Cheng listened to the rumors outside, and her heart was very sour. "Eight lifetimes of cultivation to such a blessing can send her daughter to the palace, she is so unhappy but crying and mourning every day, who is looking forward to death! For my mother, I won't let you go to the palace, just Song Ji's broken temper, isn't it that she entered the palace today and will come out sideways tomorrow! ”
Junyu was amused by Aunt Cheng, and sighed that her mother really had such an expected ability. But laughing aside, this matter does matter. In the previous life, Song Ninghai and the Song Wang family couldn't discuss with Junyu, so they directly tied up and sent them to the carriage, and only agreed to write her and her mother into the family tree before leaving. That is because Junyu is too simple, and he can't detect Song Ninghai's cunning, so he won't be like this in this life.
She deliberately waited in the place where Song Han often passed, and when she saw that Song Han was about to come, she hurriedly turned her back and took a handkerchief to hide her face.
"Junyu?" Song Han stared at her back and asked suspiciously, seeing that Junyu's shoulders shrugged slightly as if sobbing, he hurriedly asked. "What's going on?"
"Ahh Master! Hearing this, Jun Yu immediately turned around and lowered his head, pretending to be panicked when he was discovered.
She sighed faintly, pinched the handkerchief again, wiped her tears naturally, and said slowly. "Thinking that the second lady was about to enter the palace for the draft, I wanted to pick some of her favorite peony petals to make a sachet, and I became sad when I picked it. The capital is so far away that if you enter the palace, you can't even come back if you die, and the second lady is used to being arrogant, I'm afraid that if I enter the palace, I will offend people and be secretly injured. And now the emperor is more than 50 years old, and he is older than adults, how can he not be sad. ”
"Don't talk about it, it makes me feel uncomfortable listening to it." Song Han sighed when he heard this. Why doesn't he think about this thing every day these days, and think about another thing.
"I grew up with the second lady, and she treated me like a subordinate person, but like a sister. I really don't want to see her leave, if I can, I would like to replace Song Ji into the palace. Junyu lowered her eyes and whispered.
Song Han's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light when he heard this, and then he shook his head. "I know it's your kindness, but the women in the draft are all sisters or ...... of officials in the court."
He was halfway through and couldn't go on. When I looked up, I saw Junyu staring at him, and suddenly my heart understood.
Although Junyu is the slave maid of the Song Mansion, she is also her sister, if she is returned to the Song family genealogy, she can indeed replace Song Han in the palace draft. She is smart and calm by nature, thousands of times better than Song Ji, who can't bear her temperament.
Song Han pondered for a while, and then said, "I have to discuss this matter with my father and mother before I can tell you." It's just that...... Entering the palace is bumpy and dangerous, do you really want to go? ”
"Now that the Lord and Mrs. are unwilling to let the second lady enter the palace, is it still wrong that I can solve the troubles of the two of you?" Jun Yu smiled mockingly, blocking all Song Han's questions, and he had no choice but to tell Song Ninghai and Song Wang's family about this matter.
Song Ninghai was suddenly full of smiles when he heard this, and he clapped his hands again and again and shouted, "Okay!" ”
"Junyu is so sacrificing, he can really save my Song family!"
Mrs. Song Wangshi had a black face and was very unhappy. She turned sideways, frowned and persuaded Song Ninghai: "Who knows what kind of heart Junyu has in her, what if she enters the palace and deliberately causes trouble to the Song Mansion?" I can't let this kind of person enter the palace! ”
"Mother, my son feels that Junyu is not such a villain. And no matter what, she is indeed a member of the Song family. Song Han heard his mother slander Junyu like this, and he felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but retort, but he didn't know that these words angered the Song Wang clan again.
"She's nothing more than a concubine born to a lowly slave, and you still speak for her? I'm afraid that if I really become a young lady, I must not know the height of the sky! ”
"Madame!" Song Ninghai shouted in a low voice.
He already had a loss to Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter, but due to the repeated obstruction of the Song Wang family, he had to enclose them in a small courtyard and lose their names. Even the most unrighteous person is not hard-hearted. Song Ninghai had already planned to correct the names of the two, and today happened to have the opportunity, so no matter how Song Wang's persuasion was, he immediately found the old man of the clan, and Song Wang's family had to be angry and slammed the door out, but this breath still couldn't swallow it, and called Li's mother, who came with the marriage, into the house, and didn't know what to discuss.
