Miao Cui knew that her next answer would directly determine whether Song Yixiao truly accepted her repentance - she took a deep breath and squeezed her fists hard before she said: "The slave maid is no longer young and has made a big mistake, and now I only hope that Mrs. will have mercy, so that the rest of her life will not be helpless!" ”

Although these words are also euphemistic, the meaning of wanting to find a home has been made clear, and the emerald face turned crimson, and lowered her head a little embarrassed: not only because of the shame of saying her desire to marry in public, but also because of the decadence of resigning her fate after her long-cherished wish in life was hopeless.

"I have been serving my grandfather for so long, even if he has been away from the capital for six years, but after I came back, the Queen Mother immediately sent me to the Yanguo Mansion!" Thinking back to his life, Miaocui's hands squeezing his fists trembled slightly, and his mood was so complicated that he couldn't describe it, "From a henchman to an aunt, it's a natural thing!" But who would have thought that there would be such a powerful housewife? ”

It's only been three or five days since she entered the door, and she has crushed her little thoughts!

In the past few months of house arrest, although she has no worries about food and clothing, in winter, Song Yixiao also sent someone to tailor her clothes and buy a complete set of winter clothes.

In addition to not being free to move, all of her life treatment is like half a master - but these not only can't make Mi Cui feel at ease, but make her more and more scared day by day!

It's not that I feel guilty about what I did at the beginning, but I remember all kinds of selfishness I heard when I was in Mingren Palace.

"The reason why the Song family put me under house arrest is that I have spoken disrespectfully to her and wants me to reflect on it!"

"During this period, she didn't beat or scold me, she was well fed, drunk and dressed, and she couldn't be said to be harsh wherever she went!"

"In this way, if I suddenly 'disappear' one day, I will probably only think that I am blessed and short-lived, no wonder her!"

Even if some people are suspicious, but, "Who would offend a person for the sake of a subordinate?" ”

Especially Song Yixiao is now very popular with her husband, "I have been locked up for a year and a half, and I am pregnant, she is clearly looking for an excuse to execute me, I am afraid that even the Queen Mother will read it for the sake of her great-grandson, pretending to be deaf and dumb!" ”

Thinking of this, how dare Emerald be angry again?

She didn't know that Song Yixiao and Jian Xubai still hadn't had a round house, and it had been three or four months since the housemother entered the door, and the young couple had good health and good fate for their children, and there would be news soon!

When the time comes, the mother is more expensive than the child, what is not easy to do?

Song Yixiao could probably think of these concerns, and she couldn't help but think to herself: "She's afraid she must be scared now, otherwise she wouldn't be so tame." However, there is a saying that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, whether it is really settled, we have to observe for a while! ”

Then he said: "There is a way that men should get married, and women should get married." In terms of age, you are older than me and my husband, and it is indeed time to talk about people! It's just the first time I've dealt with such a thing, but I don't have much experience, and now I'm in a hurry to get involved in all kinds of things, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept you for a while! ”

It's not that she doesn't want to immediately push the boat down the river and let the ethereal cui out of her peace of mind - but this is not an ordinary maid in the end, if she makes a mistake again, the queen mother comes out of the palace, and the small service is simple and vain, and the two are added together, if Song Yixiao matches her indiscriminately, it will be okay if she is matched, if she is not worthy, how can the queen mother have no opinion?

It's Jian Xubai, who is talking to his wife, you and me, and I can't bear to save her face, and I will definitely feel sorry for the ethereal green in my heart, right?

Song Yixiao didn't want to lose points in this kind of place, but she had to spend some effort to find a reliable in-law for her.

This will express the difficulty, and seeing that Miao Cui is considerate, he asked someone to take a set of gilded noodles to reward her: "It's almost the New Year, dress up brightly, and add some joy to the house!" ”

Jin Xun interjected with a grin: "When spring begins, the slaves and maids will have to wait for Sister Ethereale's joy!" ”

Emerald lowered her head and thanked the reward, holding back her surging emotions and chuckled, "Thanks to Madame's grace!" ”

Song Yixiao knew that although she was not completely dead yet, she didn't have much hope, but she didn't want Jinxun to stimulate her too much-maybe the problem that could have been solved by a dowry would grow out of nowhere. The trouble is coming?

So a cough interrupted what Jin Xun still wanted to laugh at, and said, "Mother Zhao, didn't you say that you lacked a steward two days ago?" Although Miaocui may not be in the house after the New Year, please ask her to help me these days......"

Speaking of which, look at the ethereal.

Of course, Emerald expressed his willingness to do the work of dogs and horses.

…… After she took her head and said goodbye, Song Yixiao took a sip of tea and instructed left and right: "Respect her in the future, why is it that she also came out of her husband's side!" ”

Jin Xun responded with a smile, and defended: "Actually, no one bullied her during this time?" Not to mention the previous group of people, after our people came in, they were busy learning the rules and doing things, so who had the time to trouble her? Otherwise, where did she get such a good look? ”

"It's for the best." Song Yi smiled and groaned, "After all, it is the queen mother's person who gives her husband, just for the sake of respect for the elders, and I don't want this ethereal green to end well - now she is willing to bow her head, it is better, then you all pay attention to coaxing, and after the beginning of spring, she will marry out in a beautiful manner, and forget about our affairs!" ”

Everyone agreed one after another, promising that they would not use their marrying status to stumble on the ethereal green in the future.

Although the dust has not settled on this matter yet, it already has eyebrows - Song Yixiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was already a misty cui who didn't mention it now, and after the New Year, it was impossible for her to continue to lock people up, and she had to try to round the field.

Although this turnaround is in time for the busiest day of the year, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

"By the way, is the third uncle still in the mansion now?" Song Yixiao put down the tea bowl, remembered this, and asked again.

Jin Xun and the others have been accompanying her to see the shadow left by the incident of the chief steward, even if they know that the Miao Cui is just a weak female streamer, but Song Yixiao still called all the people together to be safe, but how did they know about the matter of more than a dozen courtyards? Hurriedly called the little maid outside the door to inquire.

After a while, the little maid came back and said, "The third master is still in the side courtyard." ”

"In that case, let's make a few more dishes in the kitchen!" Song Yi smiled and nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "Maybe my uncle will stay for dinner today." ”

However, although it was already dinner when Jian left Miao, because Jian Xubai was temporarily summoned by the prince to the East Palace for discussion, he did not come back, and refused his nephew's daughter-in-law's stay, and only asked people to tell her: "After the beginning of spring, your aunt and grandmother will come over, and they may come to see it, but I'm afraid they will be disturbed at that time!" ”

Song Yixiao felt that this was not a matter: "Uncle is too outward, if my aunt and grandmother want to come at that time, just give an order, and we will definitely sweep the couch to greet us!" ”

Who would have thought that after Jian Xubai came back that night, he heard about it, but he was silent for a long time without speaking!

"What's wrong?" Song Yi smiled and said in surprise, "You don't like your aunt and grandmother coming to our house?" Then I found a reason to go back to my uncle? ”

"We'll talk about it then!" Jian Xubai's face changed uncertainly, Song Yixiao speculated for a long time, and he couldn't tell whether he would be happy or angry, but he felt that his tone was cold and vaguely defensive, "After the beginning of spring, His Royal Highness King Zhao will enter the court, and he may not be able to be idle." ”

Song Yixiao thought to herself, no matter how busy you are, you are just a fifth-grade official, where can you take care of everything? It is impossible for Old Lady Duanmu to live in the Yanguo Mansion, so why can't she spare half a day of hard work?

- This is clearly an excuse, but when she wanted to ask, Jian Xubai took the lead and said that she was tired and needed to be placed immediately.

In the next few days, he went out early and returned late, just like Nie Wuying before his birthday, and basically didn't see his wife.

Although Song Yixiao didn't know if the military department was really so busy, he intuitively suspected that he was deliberately hiding from himself.

"It should be the reason why I'm afraid that I will find out the reason for his strange attitude towards Old Lady Duanmu?" In fact, she didn't have to find out her husband's secret, and now that she saw that her husband was nowhere to be seen all day long, she couldn't help but be aggrieved, "You just said that you didn't want to tell me?" ”

Well, she selectively forgot the anger after she said "don't worry about what you shouldn't care......

Fortunately, within a few days of such a day, the New Year's end arrived.

It's a busy time for the big families.

Especially the special situation of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, she is destined to be her son and daughter-in-law, which is a little more troublesome than the sons and daughters-in-law of other families - although because of the strength of the eldest princess and the fact that the Jian family's big house is not in the imperial capital, although her children have different surnames, they are all ranked according to the same mother, not according to the rules and patriarchal theory, but there is one thing that the eldest princess can't mess with: worshipping ancestors.

The county lord of Qingjiang has the same father as Shou Chunbo, but the former is a married woman, and he is considered to be a member of the Zhuo family, and he also has a son, so he naturally wants to sacrifice to the Zhuo family; Shou Chun Bo sacrifices to the Dou family; The remaining three and four brothers sacrificed to the Jian family - originally the Yanguo Mansion was the mansion left by Jian Pingyu, so naturally there would be no shortage of ancestral halls.

And it is the largest, most complete and most magnificent ancestral hall of the Jian family in the imperial capital.

In contrast, the ancestral halls of the Eldest Princess Mansion of the Jin Kingdom and the Princess Changxing Mansion are just a small courtyard!

Jian Pingyu didn't give Shi that meeting, and the ancestors were worshiped in the Yanguo Mansion every year - but the current Yanguo Gong is a seventeen-year-old Jian Xubai, and during the New Year's Festival, it is natural for the son to go to the father's mansion to worship the ancestors; The father and the mother go to the son's house to worship the ancestors...... That's not quite a good idea!

Therefore, after several parties discussed, it was finally decided to complete the ceremony in the small courtyard of the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

It's just that although the place is small, the rules of this sacrifice cannot be less - on Chinese New Year's Eve, a whole set of cumbersome etiquette came down, and Song Yixiao felt that his whole person was about to fall apart!

"Madame, drink a little, long spirits!" On the way to the palace for the banquet, he was busy handing over the ginseng tea, "Eat a few more dim sum pads, lest there be too many people who greet you at that time, and you won't have time to eat!" ”

After eating a palace banquet, Song Yixiao was not good, but fortunately, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was a good mother-in-law, and she did not ask her son and daughter-in-law to go to her house to keep the New Year until dawn, and let them go back to their own homes to rest.

After she returned to the Yanguo Mansion, she simply fell asleep, and she didn't even care about Jian Xubai reminding her that her makeup had not been removed.

It's just that she can't sleep well at this time, the genius is bright, and the sound of firecrackers all over the city wakes her up - Song Yixiao reluctantly opened her eyes and found that the room had been lit up, and Jian was standing barefoot on the pedal, with her back to her to tie her clothes.

As if sensing his wife's awakening, he looked back and said gently, "It's time to get up." I have to go to my father, uncle, and brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings! ”

Song Yixiao wailed in her heart, and when she sat up, she found that she had changed into her dirty clothes, and when she touched her face, the makeup that she had made up a few times yesterday was gone, and her whole body was clean and refreshing, knowing that most of it was her husband who asked someone to help clean it up - or simply he personally helped clean it up - but now she was tired and sleepy, and she was really in no mood to be coquettish, so she only took the dress handed by Jian Xubai and put it on with a strong spirit.

After cleaning up, the husband and wife hurriedly had some breakfast, went to the back hall to receive the collective New Year's greetings from the people, gave a reward, saw that the time was not early, and hurriedly dismissed everyone and drove out of the house.

According to the customary rules, they first went to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to kowtow to their parents, took the New Year's money given by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and his wife, and then gave Nie Wuying a letter of profit.

Next is Uncle Jian Limiao.

After that, the same generation, as the youngest son, the Qingjiang County Lord's Mansion, Shouchunbo's Mansion, and Changxing's Princess Mansion must all come to visit. After such a circle, not to mention that Song Yixiao couldn't bear it, even Jian Xubai seized the time to close his eyes and recuperate in the carriage!

Originally, Song Yixiao was worried that going to Princess Changxing's Mansion would not go well, but Jian Xubai reminded: "The fifth day of the first month is the Qianqiu Festival, and that is the biological mother of the third sister-in-law, how can she have the kung fu to trouble you?" ”

These words made Song Yixiao suddenly remember: "The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home, what should I do?!" ”
