Chapter 162: Old Lady Duanmu

Until the evening, Song Yi smiled and saw that her husband was preoccupied, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Old lady Duanmu, who is that?" Don't you like her coming? ”

Jian Xubai shook his head with a complicated expression, and said briefly: "She is our grandmother's own sister - I haven't seen her!" ”

"It's weird, I've never seen it, why do you want to be so embarrassed?" Song Yixiao was reminded by him, and only then did he remember that the tablet of Mrs. Yan Guotai that he saw when he saw the temple was indeed the Jianmen Duanmu clan.

It's just that this grandmother has been dead for a long time, and no one usually mentions it, she has only been in the door for a few months, and she has not recognized the three relatives and four relatives of the Jian family, so it is inevitable that she will not think of it for a while.

Hearing this, she was very puzzled, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and asked curiously, "Is that our ancestor?" In this case, I'm afraid we are not qualified to entertain her, at most please be safe on the scene, if you don't want to see her, you can't see her a few times, right? ”

"I heard that this aunt and grandmother are extremely powerful people." Jian Xubai smiled reluctantly, obviously not belonging, and said, "I don't want to get wind paralysis, and I don't know if it's serious?" ”

Song Yixiao saw that he was in a bad mood, and he stopped pestering him to talk, so he was coquettish, and said, "Tired, let's settle it?" ”

Jian Xubai slept very unsteadily this night, Song Yixiao was awakened by his tossing and turning several times, if it weren't for the fact that he would have to go to court the next day, he would have wanted to hold him and ask him to understand.

The next day, Jian Xubai left without waking her up, Song Yixiao freshened up and dressed up, hastily had breakfast, packed up some food, and rode to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - the eldest princess was very surprised to see her: "You only came back yesterday, why don't you have a good rest today?" ”

"Xie Niang cares!" Song Yi didn't go around in circles with a smile, and explained his intentions happily, "It's just that my daughter-in-law heard yesterday that an elder will come to the imperial capital in the future, and I am afraid that I am young and shallow, and when the time comes, something will go wrong and my husband will be faceless, so I cheekily came to ask my mother for advice!" ”

When the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom heard this, her face suddenly became strange, and after a while, she said, "You're talking about Old Lady Duanmu, right?" Don't worry, she's your aunt and grandmother, she's very kind and kind, so you'll treat her as her own grandmother......"

Speaking of this, I remembered that the daughter-in-law's own grandmother here was not reliable, so I quickly changed my words, "You just think she is Ah Xu's grandmother!" ”

Song Yi laughed, but thought in her heart: "Why is it that my mother-in-law mentioned that this old lady Duanmu doesn't have a right face?" It's strange - what the hell is the origin of this master? I've never heard of it before! ”

Suddenly, the eldest princess said again: "But don't mention your third aunt in front of her." ”

Song Yi smiled and said, "Yes." But I don't know what the reason is? ”

"Your third aunt is her own daughter." The eldest princess sighed, "It's also her only adult biological flesh and blood - unfortunately, not long after marrying your third uncle, she had a difficult birth." This matter has hit your aunt and grandmother and your third uncle very hard, this time the old man comes over, it stands to reason that your third uncle will definitely go to greet him, but I hope that the two of them will not be too sad at that time! ”

Song Yixiao was taken aback, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that my mother-in-law and husband heard that Old Lady Duanmu was coming, but they were not natural, and they were worried about the third uncle?" ”

I always feel that things are not so simple - but then the eldest princess didn't say anything, her daughter-in-law is not good at staring at the elders to get to the bottom of the matter, and when she saw the people below, she came up and said: "Mr. Qiao has been waiting for a pillar of incense in the warm pavilion, and asked His Highness if he will listen to the song today?" ”

Hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "Daughter-in-law go to see the fifth sister!" ”

The eldest princess bowed: "Go!" ”

She went to Mingzhu Garden to talk to Nie Wuying, and euphemistically said that she was busy these days, and she would continue to guide her sister-in-law to dance after the New Year.

After returning to the Yanguo Mansion, Song Yixiao entered the door, and Qiaoqin greeted him and said: "Madam, the third master sent a message to ask if it is convenient to come to the side courtyard of our mansion in the afternoon?" ”

Song Yixiao said inexplicably: "The third uncle wants to see the side courtyard?" Which side hospital? Why? ”

Qiao Qin looked around, and then said: "It seems that before the old lady was killed, the third master lived in the Guogong Mansion with his father and brother." ”

"Send someone to clean it up and be careful not to mess up anything!" Before asking her mother-in-law, Song Yixiao may still be a little confused, but she knows it: the news that this third uncle is coming to the imperial capital by his aunt and mother-in-law has evoked memories of his wife, and thinks of the memorial meeting where the couple lived back then.

Song Yixiao would never refuse such a request.

She instructed Qiao Qin not to be at ease, and asked about nothing else in the house except for the ethereal cui who was still making trouble, so she simply went to the side courtyard where Jian Limiao wanted to see in person, stared at the subordinates, and cleaned the inside and out while keeping it as it was, before going back to the room to change her clothes and skirts, and patiently waiting for her uncle to come to the door.

In the afternoon, Jian Limiao only arrived with an old servant - compared to the gentleness and generosity when they met before, he was full of depression between his eyebrows at the moment, but the tone of his speech to Song Yixiao was as kind as before, because of his graceful demeanor and elegant appearance, that depression added a little grace to him.

Song Yixiao knew that he definitely didn't like to be disturbed at the moment, so after saluting and saying goodbye, he briefly mentioned the matter of cleaning, led him to the gate of the courtyard, and retired.

Back in the back hall, Song Yixiao called Zhao's mother and told her: "The courtyard where my uncle is now, you tell the people below to go around, don't disturb!" ”

Mother Zhao answered, and asked again: "Miaocui didn't eat yesterday or today, and she wasn't allowed to put a charcoal basin in the room, the slave and maid will get a cold sooner or later if she goes on like this, you see?" ”

"Then bring her here!" Song Yi smiled and thought about it, "It's always the person who is given by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to lock her up for the rest of her life." ”

And he said, "Bring her some hot porridge, and let her eat and drink well before she comesβ€”or she will be hungry and cold in the middle of the conversation, like what?" ”

Half an hour later, after eating, the freshly washed ethereal was led into the back hall, and after a few months, she lost a lot of weight. However, although Song Yixiao was annoyed with her at the beginning, she didn't plan to be too humiliated when she was serving Jian Xubai, and she had been eating and drinking well during the days of house arrest, and it was forbidden for her subordinates to toss her openly.

So it's going on a hunger strike for two days in a row, but the spirit is not bad.

"Get up!" Song Yi smiled and saw that she immediately saluted obediently after entering the hall, and when she didn't see the previous arrogance between her eyebrows, she also slowed down her tone, and after asking her to sit down, she ordered someone to serve a cup of hot tea, watched her take a sip and put it down, and then said, "I heard that you don't eat or drink just to see me or your husband, and now that you have seen it, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it directly!" ”

Hearing this, Mi Cui got up and left her seat, knelt down and cried: "After reflecting on these days, the slave and maid finally know what a big mistake she was in the past! I only regret that I mistakenly believed in the traitor and provoked him, I didn't know the height of the sky, offended Mrs., and begged Mrs. to punish her! ”

Mother Zhao and others were all in the hall at this time, and they were all taken aback when they heard the word "adulterer"!

Song Yixiao also frowned, and said, "Get up and talk first!" ”

Jin Xun and Qiao Qin received the look, and hurriedly walked down and forced her to get up-taking advantage of this time, Song Yixiao thought about it quickly, and when Miaocui was pressed back to her seat by the two maids, her mood was slightly calm, and Fang Xu said: "Actually, I thought that you were acting a little strangely at the beginning, unlike the stability that a person who has served the Queen Mother should have." ”

What she said was half-true, after all, the palace people who were stable in front of the Queen Mother may not be as respectful and careful as others.

Saying this is nothing more than to induce Ethereal Cui to confide.

Sure enough, the ethereal tears rained down and said: "The slave maid often has to be mentioned by the aunts in front of the queen mother, and I don't dare to say how polite I am, but I always know how to be humble and humble!" If you rely on the slave and the maid themselves, how dare you offend the lady like that? I was really confused for a while, and after listening to Concubine Cui's instigation, it was a big mistake! ”

"Concubine Cui?!" Song Yixiao's face was gloomy, and she hated her in her heart, "I haven't been able to spare time to settle accounts with her, and this poisonous woman has become more and more serious!" ”

The explanation of the ethereal whimpering in the hall - because Jian Xubai and the prince are cousins, and their private relationship is the same as that of their own siblings, coupled with the age gap, so before Song Yi smiled and passed the door, the crown princess was ordered by the prince and was very concerned about Jian Xubai's life.

It's just that the crown princess is a female dependent, and Jian Xubai has to go on a bad job, so it is impossible to go to the East Palace twice in three days to receive the care of her cousin-in-law.

The crown princess often ordered slaves and maids to go to the East Palace to inquire about the grandfather's current situation; Sometimes when things are sent to the Yanguo Mansion, they are also handed over to the slaves and maids for management. ”

came and went like this, which gave Cui Jianlian the opportunity to get in touch with Miaocui.

"The slave knew that Concubine Cui was very favored after entering the East Palace, and although the princess was kind to her, she was not without precautions, so she didn't want to be too close to her. Can...... But Concubine Cui claims to know her husband and wife, and she doesn't know your temperament anymore! ”

This reason immediately hooked Miaocui's heart - after all, she has always regarded herself as a simple and innocent aunt-to-be, and of course she cares about the future mother's personality!

As a result, this concern was taken advantage of by Cui Jianlian: "Concubine Cui said that you are ...... madam." In the end, you are just under the fence in Hengshan Palace, the most timid and weak, but you don't have the bearing that you should be a housewife at all! Still...... I also swear that after you pass the door, you will definitely not be able to support the backyard, and when the time comes, the grandfather will be busy and busy, I don't know how hard it will be! ”

Mi Cui said with a handful of snot and tears, "The slave maid was confused for a while, so she ...... Just thinking about it...... Thinking that you won't care about things, it's better to come as a slave, so as not to make it too hard for the grandfather! ”

- Who thinks Cui Jianlian is just nonsense!

Song Yixiao is not timid and weak at all, on the contrary, there is also toughness that most brides can't do!

She thought that she was in a difficult position, but in the end, not only did she end up with a disgraced ending, but even the Queen Mother and Jian Xubai didn't mean to help her speak, and if she didn't bow her head to this hostess, Mi Cui really didn't know when she would be locked up?

She is four years older than Jian Xubai, she is twenty-one this year, and she belongs to a proper old woman at this time, no matter where she goes in the future, how can she afford it?

Song Yixiao heard this, narrowed his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Who is not wrong?" Although you have been confused, you have been confused by others, and you have now understood it. I look at these past events, and I don't need to mention them in the future! ”

When Zhao's mother heard this, she hurriedly gave her a look: "One-sided words, how can you believe them?" ”

"In that case, you don't have to continue thinking about it in the room." Song Yixiao ignored the nurse, and only looked at Miaocui with a smile, "But I don't know what your plans are next?" ”

Of course, she can't be convinced because of the ethereal cui's crying - it's just that no matter whether this maid really repents, or pretends to surrender, and makes such a fuss, in the final analysis, she definitely doesn't want to continue to be under house arrest, but Song Yixiao wants to see what she wants to do after she tries to get out of house arrest?
