Chapter Seventy-Nine: Murder Must Be Somewhere No One Can See!

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has always had a good relationship with the Pei family, and she wants to give her mother face, so she will raise the curtain and look at it, and see that the person leading the horse and wiping the sweat in front of the team is indeed the head of the Pei family, so she bowed slightly: "Come over and talk!" ”

"The little ones have seen grandpa and grandma!" The chief steward arrived in front of the carriage, and after saluting, he first said goodbye, "May grandpa and grandma grow old and give birth to a noble son early!" ”

This explains the meaning, "I heard that my grandfather and grandmother entered the palace yesterday to thank them, and their Majesty gave them white jade and gold ginseng. It's just that the library is not enough, so I sent the younger one to ask the two, can I give my lord medicine? ”

Jian Xubai was taken aback, but he didn't ask much, he only quickly turned out the pen and ink in the dark compartment of the carriage, hurriedly wrote a note, took out the private seal from his sleeve, and sent two guards to accompany him to ride back to the Yanguo Mansion to get ginseng.

Waiting for the chief manager to retire with a thousand thanks, he lowered the curtain and explained to Song Yixiao: "It's the righteous sister's father, Scholar Pei, who is sick." ”

Needless to say, the cause of the illness is well known to both husband and wife: Jiang Muyao's identity as "Princess Quasi-Wei" has not yet passed the clear road, and it is only circulated in private, and she is so embarrassed that she never goes out again after losing the election; What's more, Pei Yourui and Jian Yiyu, that is Yi's decree!

There is such a big fork in the daughter's life, can a normal father not be anxious?

Song Yixiao didn't have any opinion on this matter, so he only said: "Then after returning home, let's pack up some medicinal materials and send them over?" ”

"Hmm." Jian answered in vain, leaned his head on the wheel, closed his eyes, and was silent.

Song Yi didn't make any noise with him, and looked at the street scene along the way from the gap in the car curtain.

After the two returned to the Yanguo Mansion, they asked about the treasury, and learned that the chief manager of the Pei family only took a ginseng, so Song Yixiao asked if he wanted to add more medicinal materials?

"My mother has always been healthy, but the third uncle's health is not very good." Jian Xubai groaned, "Don't move the third uncle's share." ”

Song Yixiao took two more pieces from the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and ordered someone to take some other medicinal materials and send them to Pei's mansion tomorrow.

Jian Xubai waited for her to finish this matter, and Fang asked lightly, "You disposed of Cui Yi?" ”

Hearing this, Qiaoqin and Jinxun and the other dowives all sweated, and secretly prayed that Song Yixiao's reply would not anger him.

"Isn't that what she wants?" Song Yi smiled innocently, "Otherwise, how could you not save me any face in front of people?" ”

"In the end, it was the person given by the emperor's grandmother, when you turn around and enter the palace, don't forget to ask the emperor's grandmother for a crime!" Jian Xubai heard this, there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly, "Lest others say that you don't take the imperial grandmother in your eyes!" ”

Song Yi smiled: "Naturally." ”

I thought he had a few more words of adviceβ€”after all, Emerald had served him for so many years.

But Jian Xubai had already ended the matter, and said lightly: "I was a little empty yesterday, so I wrote the excerpt for you to ask for a decree, and I will hand it over when I turn around." If you don't know how to write a thanksgiving letter, you can ask your mother or sister-in-law. ”

When he left, Qiao Qin and the others stepped forward to compliment him with joy: "It's only been three days since you passed the door, and the grandfather is going to ask you for a decree, which shows how attentive you are!" ”

"I really don't know how to write this book." Song Yixiao just smiled and said, "Get ready, Ming'er, let's go and say hello to my mother!" ”

Of course, the mother who can talk about this is the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - but the next day when she arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Song Yixiao asked her mother-in-law to ask for peace, presented white jade and golden ginseng, and was given a seat to speak, but she didn't mention the matter of the book, but knelt down and refused to get up, saying: "The daughter-in-law is here to ask for guilt......"

The eldest princess was surprised: "Your child has only been at the door for a few days, why do you have to ask for sin?" ”

"It's ethereal." Song Yixiao didn't add fuel to the fire, after all, there are so many people in the Yanguo Mansion, but there are few credible ones, how many secrets can be kept?

She told the farce of the wedding night in 1510, and after Jian Xubai personally ordered Cui Miao to be subject to her own control, Cui Miao still repeatedly spoke disrespectfully, and finally said, "The daughter-in-law knows that she is the person given by the Queen Mother, so don't treat her badly!" But at that time, I really couldn't get off the stage, so I had to ......"

"What's the matter with me?" When the eldest princess heard this, she said without thinking, "Ah Xudu said, the maid should be in charge of you!" What should you not give her rules? You don't have to take this matter to heart, the queen mother let the cui yi go to the Yanguo Mansion, it is nothing more than thinking that she served Ah Xu in her early years, thinking that she had no hope of leaving the palace until she was twenty-five years old, she went to the Guogong Mansion, as long as you nodded your head, you can get married, and you can earn a few years of youth! I don't want this thing to get dizzy, but it's stumbling on you! ”

The mother-in-law's reaction was not as expected by Song Yixiao, except for a few strange things, the new daughter-in-law only passed the door, a little willful, and most of the elders were still careless - especially the queen mother and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom forced the Jian family to "rush to be happy", and they also wanted to marry her earlier.

Although the husband said that he did not cooperate, he slapped Cui Yi, and under the guise of pleading, he still sued the complaint.

She made a long sigh of relief and thanked her mother-in-law with a sigh of gratitude.

The eldest princess smiled and patted the back of her hand to show her closeness, and asked her if she was used to living in the past few days: "Now you are the mistress of the Yanguo Mansion, the wife of a famous matchmaker, don't wronged yourself in your own home!" ”

"Xie Niang cares!" Song Yixiao asked for her sentence, and immediately showed embarrassment, "Everything else is very good, but yesterday the husband said that there were too many idlers in the house, and I am afraid that it will be impeached by the introduction officer, so let the daughter-in-law take care of it." But the daughter-in-law heard that most of the subordinates in the Guogong Mansion were old people who had served their grandfather, but they were not treated lightly - after thinking of a few methods, they felt that there were all kinds of shortcomings, and they begged their mother for advice? ”

She said this intentionally to test her mother-in-law, after all, seeing the appearance of the eldest princess who loves her son, but letting those subordinates in the Yanguo Mansion annoy Jian Xubai, it is really suspicious.

When the eldest princess heard this, she was silent for a long time, and Fang opened the tea bowl and took a sip: "Back then, your grandfather considered that Ah Xuan was in the palace and could not always supervise the people in the house. ”

"My grandfather has a loving heart, and my husband always remembers it." Song Yi smiled respectfully and opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"But in addition to your grandfather, there are also big and three rooms in the mansion, but now there are only two masters of you and your wife, and there are indeed many people." The eldest princess put down the tea bowl, looked at her daughter-in-law, and said, "For the sake of Ah Xu's career, it doesn't hurt to send away the extra manpower!" The question is, where are you going to go with them? If you don't have a good placement, it will inevitably make people talk about your husband and wife being cold, right? ”

Song Yixiao just said that the layoff of manpower meant simply, but the princess asked her where she planned to arrange the retrenched manpower, obviously seeing through her daughter-in-law's careful thinking.

However, the tone was quite calm, not like he was going to be angry - Song Yixiao was thinking about it, so he decided to rely on the preferential treatment of his new daughter-in-law to gamble, and confessed: "Grandfather was thinking about his husband back then, and he didn't bring many people when he returned home. To be an elder, how can you not report it to the juniors? Those people were all the henchmen that my grandfather was used to when he was a grandfather, so it was better to send them back to Sangzi to serve his grandfather in his old age. I don't know what my mother thinks? ”

"Now that you've thought about it, so be it." The eldest princess flicked the bracelet on her wrist, and after a while, Fang bowed slightly, "Speaking of which, you crossed Yiyu to get married, just to rejoice for your grandfather." Now that you've passed the door, I'm about to send someone back to see if it worksβ€”just to say about your filial piety! ”

Song Yixiao couldn't tell if there was any irony in her mother-in-law's words, but she didn't care, she thanked her respectfully, and was thinking about what topics to choose to talk about with her mother-in-law, when the eldest princess suddenly asked, "Did the chief manager of the Pei family look for you yesterday?" ”

"It's that Scholar Pei is sick and needs white jade ginseng as a medicine guide, Pei's treasury is insufficient, and I heard that His Majesty rewarded his husband and daughter-in-law with this ginseng, and he came to ask for it." Song Yixiao didn't know her mother-in-law's opinion on the matter of her son's marriage, so she didn't dare to show any tendencies, and answered carefully every word.

"Alas!" When the eldest princess heard this, she frowned slightly, and sighed with a complicated expression, "This matter, I'm sorry for the Pei family!" ”

Song Yi couldn't take it with a smile, so he was silent.

Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't need her to answer, so she just said: "Now Yourui is also your sister, and she will be good in the future, or the Pei family, but if there is any difficulty, if you can help, don't shirk!" ”

Song Yi smiled respectfully.

Next, the eldest princess took the initiative to talk about the family's sophistication, and taught the new daughter-in-law a good lesson - but she didn't say a word about the relatives of the Jian family.

Song Yixiao guessed that this should have something to do with the fact that her father-in-law was not her mother-in-law's husband: although her grandfather Jian Pingyu was born poor, she was also a veteran of the two dynasties, and the Jian family was also a wealthy family in the court back then, but Jian Likuang, who was married to her sister-in-law, was forced to abandon her wife and become the eldest princess who was nearly ten years older than herself, how could she have no complaints in her heart?

Not only is Jian Likuang, but the rest of the Jian family, including relatives, is afraid that they don't like the eldest princess's move. Although he is afraid of imperial power and dares to be angry but does not dare to speak, it is inevitable that he will gradually drift away over the years.

Of course, it is also possible that the eldest princess looks down on those people.

This conversation was for most of the day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had lunch together, and Song Yi smiled and retired.

Leaving the eldest princess, Qiao Qin reminded anxiously: "Thank you's ...... book"

"What's the hurry?" Song Yixiao disagreed, "Now that my husband hasn't even handed over the excerpt, it's not too late to ask my mother again when I officially accept the book!" "Mother-in-law is not harsh, what are you afraid of when you run a few more times?

It's to prove to Jane that his ability is serious!

"But although my mother-in-law allowed to send people away, I can't wait to take power when I pass through the door, and I don't bear it!" Sitting in the carriage, Song Yi smiled and closed her eyes and thought, "Before leaving the cabinet, my mother told me again and again: you must be gentle and generous and compassionate in front of people, otherwise where will you get a good reputation of being virtuous and virtuous?" ”

In short, the ferociousness must be in a place that no one can see!

So after returning to the Yanguo Mansion, she asked Ming Jian to handle official business in the study, so she asked the kitchen to make some refreshments and served them herself.

Jian Xubai immediately frowned when he saw her, obviously not liking being disturbed at the moment.

When she closed the door, she asked coldly, "Something?" ”

"I just told my mother that there are too many people in the house and I am afraid of being impeached by the officials." Song Yixiao put the refreshments on the corner of the bookcase, so as not to touch his letters, poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand, and wrote lightly, "I remembered that my grandfather was sick before, even if Chongxi was effective, I am afraid that I will have to serve him carefully if he has just recovered from this serious illness." Although the uncle will definitely not be distracted, if there are these old people in our house who have accumulated years to serve him, my grandfather will definitely be able to speed up his recovery. My mother is very much in favor of this, what do you see? ”

Hearing this, the coolness in his eyes faded slightly, revealing a slight smile: "Then so be it!" ”

"This is a matter of filial piety, and you have to come forward to look good." Song Yixiao thought to herself that I came to tell you this, but not to get your permission, "After all, my grandfather fell ill before I passed the door, and if I came forward this time, people might talk about you as a grandson, and worry about my grandfather's granddaughter-in-law who entered the door before me, right?" ”

"I see." Jian glanced at her playfully, "If you think about me like this, I won't disappoint you!" ”
