Chapter 113: The Right Way to Make a Request!
After breakfast that day, Song Yixiao sent Qiaoqin to Wei's house: "You have made it clear to Cousin Chan what Lu Sangongzi said, and tell her that there is nothing I can do about this." The Wei family can't do it, so they can only follow the request of the third prince of Lu and find a reason to withdraw from their relatives! β
I'm afraid that Wei Chan won't be able to think about it, "Fortunately, my cousin has not reached the age of time, and she can afford to delay her youth in three or two years." There has never been a shortage of excitement in the imperial capital, and there is no face now, three or two years later, how many people still remember? Even if I remember, time has passed, and I can't toss any waves. After surviving this hurdle, there may not be a time when she raised her eyebrows in the future, please remember no matter what: there is no endless road! β
She can only do this now, after all, she can't pinch Wei Mengying right nowβshe can't pinch it, and she can't be too disobedient to her mother for her cousin.
Qiao Qin took the order and left, and only came back in the afternoon to resume her life, saying that Wei Chan's reaction was not too intense, she only said thank you for her cousin's kindness, as for what to do next, she had to think about it carefully, and discussed it with her elders before she decided.
Song Yixiao was secretly worried when she heard this, but she was helpless.
Jin Xun saw that she was in a low mood, so she had nothing to say: "The pots of chrysanthemums in the court are blooming just right now, and the slave and maid think of Miss Yuan, who lives in Shibilou and likes chrysanthemums the most." β
"There are so many things these days, I forgot if you don't say it." Song Yixiao heard this, and sure enough, his attention was diverted, and he personally went to the court to see the chrysanthemums, and picked out a few pots of precious and good quality, "Send them to the Boling Marquis Mansion for Sister Yuan to enjoy, and then ask her about her current situation for me." We haven't seen each other in a long time! β
Before Jin Xun left, the people below came to say: "There is a mother-in-law at the door, claiming to be serving in the courtyard of the seventh miss of the Su family, and the Tao is to bring a message to the seventh lady." β
"Last time, Su Shaomo promised Su Shaoling that when I met the queen yesterday, I would mention my edict, and I would send someone here, isn't there an echo to this matter?" Song Yi smiled and secretly thought, "Please let her in!" β
After a while, a-in-law walked in, and after saluting like a ritual, she smiled slightly: "My seventh lady sent an old slave to tell grandma: the queen has ordered the palace maid to urge the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and within three or two days, grandma's seal should come down!" β
Song Yixiao was angry with Jian Xubai before, and deliberately approached the Su family sisters, but now that the husband and wife have a tendency to reconcile, she can't help but think about her husband again. It was because of this that after listening to the words of the mother-in-law, not only was there no joy, but I felt inexplicably empty.
"It's really hard for your young lady!" But she also knew that she would not be able to show remorse, so she had to smile and say some words of gratitude to the Su family sisters and the queen mother, and said, "It's annoying that mom made this trip on purpose!" β
After glancing at the left and right, Qiao Qin took out a purse containing a gold coin and handed it to the woman.
The woman didn't shirk either, thanked her generously, said a few words, and then withdrew.
"Congratulations grandma!" After she left, Qiao Qin and the others all came up and congratulated Song Yi with a smile - although it was said that since Song Yixiao was carried into the Yanguo Mansion, sooner or later she would be Mrs. Fate. But the official seal is not down for a day, and one day it is just a grandmother, and she is not a serious lady, how can this not be regretted?
Now that you can be regarded as a quasi-letter, how can the maids not be happy? After all, the close attendant of the rich grandmother is not the same as the close attendant of Mrs. Yipin, and the status of going out is not the same!
"I just got a piece of news today, and it's a little early to say that I'm happy!" Song Yixiao's mood is not more relaxed than theirs, the Su family helps easily, but it won't be for nothing, and I don't know how to pay it back in the future?
She had a thought in her heart, and said, "When the matter is implemented, I will send you happy money!" β
Qiao Qin responded with a smile, and asked if he wanted to add a few dishes to celebrate in the evening - Song Yixiao thought that Jian Xubai had been angry about this matter before, even though the two of them had a tendency to get back together last night because of Ji Su's threading of the needle, but it was not so good that there were no taboos, which would make him know, I am afraid that something would happen!
If you want to celebrate, you don't want to live a good life.
So he resolutely stopped it, emphasized that everything would not change, and ordered that the news should not be disclosed to Jian Xubai.
Rao is like this, Song Yixiao is still a little uneasy.
After all, the matter of Taoli Mansion last time, Jian Xubai knew it when he turned around, and now this Yanguo Mansion is like a sieve, the mother-in-law of the Su family has entered the mansion, so many pairs of eyes are watching, how can it be kept secret?
"It's not a way for the people in this house to keep holding on." Thinking of this, Song Yixiao couldn't help but feel, "According to the meaning revealed by Jian Xubai earlier, wait until all these people are sent out in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and then you can recruit people and cultivate loyalty!" Although I don't want to interfere in the front, the backyard is said to be given to me, as long as I manage it carefully, I am not afraid that I will not be able to prohibit it - this is what it looks like to be a serious housewife! β
At that time, Jian Xubai wanted to know her manners well, but it was not so easy!
In this way, if the husband is unreliable in the future, it is better to part ways, or to fight-for-tat, there is hope.
It's like now, she just excused herself from having a meal with someone before she came home, and Jian Xubai knew it first; And Jian Xuan went out every day, where did she go, who she saw, and what did she do, but her eyes were black, and it was all up to him to decide?
This kind of life and death honor and disgrace are tied to the hands of others, and there is no power to resist, she has already had enough in her previous life!
"Let's have a chance to discuss it with Jian Xubai when I go back - if you can, let's send people out as soon as possible!" She thought to herself, "Since Hengzhu wants to give it, why delay our own lives in order to make them unhappy for a while?" β
After thinking about it for a while, Song Yixiao felt a little tired, and was about to go back to the inner room to lie down for a while, but Jin Xun came back to his life: "Miss Yuan likes the flowers you gave grandma, and said that there is nothing to return for the time being, so I won't give it this time-When the slave and maid retired, Sister Mei Yan forced a purse into her sleeve, and the slave and maid really couldn't refuse, and only opened it after going out, and there was a pair of red gold pendants inside." β
As he spoke, he took out his purse and the red gold pendant.
"Since Sister Yuan gave it to you, then you can take it!" Song Yixiao knew that the Yuan family was not embarrassed, and Yuan Xuepei was a sister who loved her, and rewarding a pair of gold pendants was nothing to Yuan Xuexu, so she nodded indifferently and said, "Next time Sister Yuan's people come to our side, don't be stingy when you take your purse." β
Jin Xun responded with a smile, and said: "Grandma, there is one more thing: when Miss Yuan asked the slave maid about your current situation, she learned that the Pei family brought three boxes of things to our house and asked you to dispose of them. β
"Does she want to add makeup?" Song Yixiao asked curiously first, and then came to her senses, "She's about to leave the pavilion, and she wants to prepare a few things to press the bottom of the box!" β
Originally, Pei Yourui sent things over to sell.
If Yuan Xuecao can take a fancy to it, everyone will be happy.
So Song Yixiao immediately said: "You can only see a name on the list, what's the point?" Later, I sent someone to tell her that she wanted to be free, so she might as well come and see for herself. If you have what you like, you can buy it, and I make my decision on the price, all according to the market price! β
Qiao Qin hurriedly said: "Grandma, if you sell it like this, even if Miss Pei Wu doesn't say anything, grandpa?" β
Jian Xubai was obviously very sympathetic to the Pei family's father and daughter, and he didn't buy the three boxes of things himself, because he was afraid of hurting their self-esteem, but it didn't mean that he would refuse to compensate the Pei family at the selling price!
So how can you give them a market price? You have to float up a little bit!
"I only asked Sister Yuan to sell the market price, but I didn't say that I would give it to Sister Yi according to the market price!" Song Yi smiled and said, "At that time, I will add two percent from the house to make up for it - you all keep your mouth shut for me, don't say it!" β
Among the three boxes sent by the Pei family, the boxes of pearls and emeralds are not ordinary things, and each piece can be called priceless.
Song Yixiao decided to sell it to Yuan Xuecao at the market price, which seemed to have no discount, but in fact, it had already helped her a lot. After all, there are more rich people in this imperial capital, and the real good things will never be sold at a high price, let alone a box full of random picks?
Moreover, with Yuan Xuecao's temperament, he refused to take advantage of such an advantage.
originally thought that it would take a few days to find out the market before he could start selling, but he didn't intend to send flowers to Yuan Xuexu, but he unexpectedly opened up the situation.
This incident also inspired Song Yixiao: "In the future, you have to pay attention to the weddings and birthday celebrations of those high-ranking families!" β
For these two purchases, they are often extra willing to spend money, but it is a good opportunity to sell at a high price.
"Sister Yuan's favorite pastries and tea, from tomorrow, have been prepared." Song Yixiao summoned the kitchen person to him again and instructed, "Ask Jinxun specifically, she has always been familiar with Sister Yuan's maids, and she knows Sister Yuan's preferences best." β
"The slave knows best, but grandma is your preference!" When Jin Xun heard this, he said with a smile, and then turned around and led the kitchen man down to admonish.
At this time, Jian Xubai also came back, and he also carried an oiled paper bag in his hand: "I heard from my colleagues that this rice cake is not bad, and his daughters are full of praise, just along the way, I will also bring you a share, see if it fits the taste?" β
"You're busy, why bother like that?" Song Yixiao was naturally very happy when her husband was so considerate, and after taking the rice crackers, she was not busy opening them, she stepped forward to help him take off her coat, and then ordered someone to twist a hot handkerchief, and wiped his face with her own hands, before she untied the tether on the oiled paper bag, and smiled like a flower, "It smells very fragrant...... Do you want to try it too? β
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and fed it to Jian Xubai's lips first, and when he took a bite, Fang concentrated on tasting it - to be honest, this rice cake tasted average, and it was a little worse than the craftsmanship of the chef in the Guogong Mansion.
Think about Jian Xubai because he inherited the lord of the country, his status is noble, but his actual position is only from the five grades, and his colleagues may not all be powerful, and his family thinks it is delicious, and Song Yixiao is a person who was raised by Miss Wangfu, but it may not be!
However, because her husband specially brought it to her, Song Yixiao still praised the word "good" and stopped after eating two pieces.
"Is there anything going on at home today?" Jian Xubai was fed by her, and he also ate most of itβhe didn't think it was delicious, so he didn't eat it anymore, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped his fingertips, and asked, "I just saw the guards going to the Boling Marquis Mansion on the road?" β
"It's going to Yuan's house." Song Yi smiled and told him that Yuan Xuexu wanted to buy the Pei family's hairpin ring, "I think that since the Marquis of Boling will prepare for Sister Yuan to leave the pavilion after the beginning of spring, it is reasonable for her to add makeup now!" So I plan to invite Sister Yuan to come over tomorrow and ask her to pick a few in person. β
Jian Xubai said: "Just sell it to her at the market price." β
"When I give it to my sister-in-law, I plan to add 20%, what do you see?" Song Yixiao tucked the oiled paper wrapped in rice cakes, asked someone to take it down, turned his head and said, "If there are more, I'm afraid that even if Sister Yi is not in the imperial capital at that time, she will be suspicious." β
"It's done as you say." Jian Xubai took a sip of tea, and said, "Sister Xuepei doesn't have to sell her all the things she likes, with the relationship between our husband and wife and their brothers and sisters, when she goes out of the pavilion, she will have to add makeup to her." Keep a few pieces for later, and you won't have to worry about preparing when the time comes. β
Song Yi smiled, because when it came to Yuan Xuexu's marriage, she naturally remembered that Sikong Yihan was imminent, so she moved to her husband's side, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "In a few days, King Liang will marry the second lady of the Sikong family......
"You are not familiar with Miss Sikong Er!" Jian Xubai has been waiting for this moment for several days, although she is in a good mood, how can she easily let her pass? said quietly at the moment, "It's Miss Sikong who has a friendship with you, and it's only been a few days since she died?" I just condoled and went to congratulate again, isn't it right? β
Song Yixiao heard that he was deliberately embarrassed, and was about to defend himself, when he suddenly remembered what happened this morning, and he was blessed to the heart, so he swallowed back what he was about to say, glanced around, and motioned for the maids to retreat.
Seeing that the door was closed, there were two husbands and wives in the house, decisively threw themselves into Jian Xubai's arms, climbed his neck, and kissed his thin lips when he raised his head - after some jerky entanglement, he saw that Jian Xubai's face remained unchanged, but his low-hanging phoenix eyes were full of surprise, and his arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, and he smiled secretly in his heart, softened his voice, and asked with charming eyes: "Husband, can't people really go?" β
"Go, go!" Jian Xubai's heart is about to turn into water, so soft that he can't wait to hold everything to his wife, where can he still say half a "no"? Without hesitation, he said, "You can go wherever you want!" Whoever dares to stop me, just ask me! β
