She simply called Song Yixiao over before, which would be embarrassing to see the scene, and said: "This thing is indeed a bit strange, after all, this is the place where Aunt Daiguo is, King Wei asked the Hou Ye to come out to talk, how can he hide it from his aunt?" Princess Wei is still pregnant, but King Wei has come to worry about Sister Jiang, aunt knows, how can she have no ideas? ”

"What Mrs. Song said is very true, in order to avoid trouble, let's not go through it now!" It's just that Yuan Xuepei deliberately kept his distance from Jiang Muyao, but when he heard the words, he said, "Two please!" ”

Seeing this, Song Yi smiled at him and nodded.

She walked simply, but Jiang Muyao was a little reluctant, and on the way back, her steps were inevitably slow.

Song Yixiao didn't pierce it in her eyes, she just walked slowly with her - after walking like this for a while, Jiang Muyao suddenly stopped, looked at no one on the left and right, looked at her sideways, and said in a low voice: "Shanyao, what do you say about my temperament and appearance?" ”

"Naturally, it is beautiful and wise, dignified and generous." Song Yi smiled and said immediately.

Her words are not flattering, Jiang Muyao is indeed outstanding among the nobles of the imperial capital, regardless of family background and appearance. Otherwise, when Concubine Jiang Xian privately told Emperor Xianjia that she wanted to give her niece to her adopted son King Wei, Emperor Xianjia would not have agreed.

"I also think that even though I am not good enough in everyone's girlfriends, I am more than enough." Jiang Muyao pursed her lips when she heard this, and said with a wry smile, "Yuan Lang also said in person that he thinks I'm good, but I'm not afraid of delaying my youth and am willing to wait for a turnaround, what is he unwilling to wait?" Was he just a kind word, or did he not think I was worth the wait? ”

Song Yixiao felt that it should be both, because according to her correspondence with Yuan Xuepei, this Marquis of Boling is now focused on making meritorious contributions, and he is not interested in the love of his children.

This can be seen from his requirements for choosing a wife this time: virtuous, sensible, from a good family, and even his appearance as long as Zhou Zheng is not disabled. Such a broad request makes it clear that he only wants a rear manager who can give birth to children.

And although Jiang Muyao's talent can also take care of his rear and admire him wholeheartedly, the current political differences between the two families, as well as Yuan Xuepei's leg injury, are destined to make their union difficult-in comparison, how can it be easy to marry a girl who has no political differences?

In the final analysis, even if Yuan Xuepei has feelings for Jiang Muyao, he is not deep enough, at least not deep enough to make him willing to ignore the difficulties of the union of the two.

But looking at Jiang Muyao's emotions, it was obviously not suitable to tell the truth, so Song Yi smiled and thought about it and said, "Maybe it's because of his legs?" ”

"But I don't care!" Jiang Muyao's words were calmly interrupted by Song Yixiao: "But he may not care himself!" ”

Jiang Muyao fell silent for a moment.

She didn't say anything more on the way back to the table - after returning to the table, because the two seats were not together, they separated.

At this time, Xie Yiren had already finished talking to her sister-in-law, and when she saw Song Yi coming back with a smile, she asked with a smile: "Why have you been out for so long?" I was afraid that you would be impatient waiting for me, but I didn't want to wait for you for so long. ”

"I just ate a few more glasses of wine and went out to distract from the wine, but I met Sister Jiang and talked about it." Song Yixiao said casually, "Aunt Daiguo's garden is really good, I just wanted to walk around casually, but I watched it for a long time before I knew it—in comparison, our courtyard is very ordinary." ”

When Xie Yiren heard this, he looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he came to Song Yixiao and said: "This place was originally the ancestral property of Donghu Liu, one of the six valves in the sea, and it is said that it was built in the early Wei Dynasty, and it has been hundreds of years since the two dynasties now. However, when it came to Dongyong, the royal family was weak, and the south of the Yangtze River did not want to forge ahead, but Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu had been thinking about recovering their hometown, in order to raise military funds, the two families sold many industries throughout the country, and this house was transferred to the hands of Aunt Daiguo! ”

"It turned out to be handed down from the ancient Wang clan, and the strange way is unique!" Song Yixiao said curiously, "So after the Shen and Liu families sold their property, did they raise enough military funds to recover their hometown?" ”

She studied women's studies, majoring in De Jong Industrial and Commercial Bank, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., and she didn't talk much about other aspects.

After all, the female gentlemen who teach are not all-rounders - not to mention that Darui has only been in the dynasty for more than forty years, and although the royal family has appointed historians to revise history, the repaired history books are still only in the history museum, and not everyone is qualified to see them. Therefore, the female relatives raised in the boudoir want to know about the recent dynasty, unless there are elders in the family who have experienced it personally.

For example, Xie Yiren, her grandfather Lai Guogong was born in the middle of Dongyong, and it is said that he also took the Xiucai examination in Dongyong - and later followed Rui Taizu to do things, became the founding meritorious service, and was awarded the title of Lai Guogong. With such a grandfather, it is not surprising that Xie Yi people know something that ordinary people don't know.

Song Yixiao didn't have such convenience, because if it weren't for Xie Yiren's words, she would not know anything about them.

"The recovery is recontribution, but the two families have also fought hard." Xie Yiren said with a regretful face, "Among them, the Shen family's Ming Peitang almost died as an heir, and the Liu family's Burning Quinoa Hall was no better—not only the people of the Yan branch were withered, but there were also many people who died in the battle of the side branches. The most important thing is that these two families have been stationed on the frontier for generations, and they have a feud with Hulu, so after Xiliang and Donghu fell into the hands of the enemy, their ancestral lands were probably destroyed. After the dynasty was settled, His Majesty Emperor Taizu remembered the righteous deeds of the Shen and Liu families to fight against Hulu, and originally planned to be knighted and given officials, but the two families were ashamed of their failure to keep Sangzi, which caused the ancestors to be uneasy, not only declined the reward, but even decided not to go out within three generations, and the family guarded the tomb to atone for the previous sins! ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Not to mention that I haven't paid attention to this matter yet—counting the time, their time for atonement is almost over!" It's just that more than 40 years have passed, and the current DPRK and China don't know if they will still think of them? ”

After all, it was Rui Taizu who wanted to add officials to these two families, and Emperor Xianjia of this meeting was the grandson of Rui Taizu, but he may not be willing to admit the old accounts of his imperial grandfather - not to mention that the Shen and Liu families refused at the beginning, right?

"Even if the court can't think of it, isn't there still a imperial examination?" Song Yi smiled and said, "After three years, let's pay attention, maybe there will be people from these two families involved?" ”

She said this, but in her heart she thought that the so-called three-generation atonement of the Shen and Liu families may not all be for the sake of the disturbance of their ancestors - after all, if a family wants to prosper for a long time, it is impossible to break away from power for too long. Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu are both famous families who have distinguished themselves from several dynasties, how can they not understand this truth?

The reason for this is probably not to be done.

"Sister-in-law Xie said that these two families have been stationed in the frontier for generations, and the imperial court at that time did not want to forge ahead, but these two families only expelled Hu Lu and recovered Sangzi by their own strength - it can be seen that these two families are not only rich, but most importantly, they have military power in their hands!" Although Song Yixiao doesn't know much about this kind of thing, based on the information that Xie Yiren inadvertently revealed, he can also deduce a thing or two, "Even if you fight with Hu Lu and get disabled, you can't be underestimated!" ”

In particular, they still have a reputation - the six valves in the sea are now in decline, but those who know it are still looking up to the mountains, after all, a family that can rise from the Middle Ages to the last few years is worthy of admiration anyway.

What's more, the Shen and Liu families can recover their hometown that was invaded by foreigners with the power of two families, how can the people of the world not be moved?

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Shen and Liu families had climbed to the top and shouted, they would have responded like clouds.

After Dongyong, it was the Lu family who built the dynasty and called the emperor, not these two families.

So how could Rui Taizu not be afraid of them?

These two families may be powerless, or they may be unintentional, in short, they did not compete with Rui Taizu for the world, and they did not want to be a thorn in the side of the founding monarch - so under the pretext of atonement, three generations did not enter the office, and it is estimated that three generations did not touch the military power, which can be regarded as dispersing the accumulation of hundreds of years in exchange for the peace of mind of the royal family.

- Of course, these have nothing to do with Song Yixiao, just think about it, and soon talk to Xie Yiren about other topics.

Time passed unconsciously, and soon it was time for the banquet to end, and everyone put aside the chopsticks in twos and threes, took the fragrant tea handed by the next person, and were ready to resign.

At this time, the moon lantern suddenly leaned over Song Yixiao's ear and whispered: "Madam, Miss Jiang's maid came over and said that Miss Jiang has not come back since she went out, and asked if you know where her young lady is?" ”

"Sister Jiang?" Song Yi smiled and was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said, "Didn't she go out once just now, or was she met by us at the rockery?" Did you come back and go out again? ”

Moon Lantern said: "That's exactly the case-the maid has actually gone out to look for it twice, but she has never found it." ”

"You told her that there was no rockery?" Song Yixiao heard this, and always felt that something was not quite right, turned the tea bowl in his hand, and whispered, "There will be some time before the end of the field, you accompany her to look for it." ”

Yuelan took the order and came back not long after, but said: "The slave accompanied the maid to look up and down the rockery, but never found Miss Jiang." took advantage of the climb to see the neighborhood, but there was no trace of Miss Jiang. ”

Song Yixiao couldn't help but change her face: "Sister Jiang is not a person who doesn't know how to be measured, even if she wants to run away from the table, how can she disappear without saying hello?" It won't come back, and no one will find it—but I'll have to ask the owner of this place! ”

However, it is good that she has a personal relationship with Jiang Muyao, but the person who came to the banquet today is Jiang Muyao's serious family, and she naturally doesn't want her to do it when she is looking for the acting governor and princess.

However, because she had been out for a long time and ran into Jiang Muyao again, after the eldest princess of the country announced the dismissal, she sent someone to stop Song Yixiao, who was about to walk out, and said that she might need to be a witness.

Jian Xubai learned about this in the front yard, and when the female guests were almost scattered, he simply walked in to find his wife-he had just stepped into the flower hall, but a panicked little maid ran from behind and almost bumped into him, and after staggering and standing still, he didn't care about saluting, and smiled at Song Yi in the hall with a pale face: "Mrs. Song, Your Highness, please come to the warm pavilion!" ”
