Chapter 142: Bad News in Youzhou
The eldest princess was in despair, and when she suddenly heard such good news, she couldn't believe it for a while, and she was stunned on the spot!
Song Yixiao took a slight breath and said: "Miss Su Liu and Miss Su Qi didn't know that today was the birthday of the fifth sister, and they didn't know that the fifth sister ran out by herself, so they took the fifth sister to play outside the city, and just came back, and learned that we were looking for the fifth sister, so we sent someone to explain!" ”
"What about Sakura?" The eldest princess cried with joy and asked urgently, "Has she come back?" Where are you now? ”
Song Yixiao was about to answer, not wanting to be a long history Xue Shiren walked in with a solemn expression, and after a hasty salute, he said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness, someone from Youzhou is here!" ”
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was thinking about Nie Wuying, and said casually when she heard this: "Wait a minute...... Wait a minute! Youzhou?! ”
Jia Yue also came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Did the Pei family send a New Year's gift?" Are Scholar Pei and Miss Pei okay? ”
"It's a good New Year's gift." Xue Shiren said bitterly, "But it also brought bad news: Scholar Pei is gone!" ”
The hall was silent in an instant!
After a while, the eldest princess muttered, "How could it be gone?" ”
"I don't know who came." Xue Shiren groaned, seeing that in addition to the good appointment, there was only one Song Yi in front of the eldest princess, and Fang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, that person claims to be the nephew of the chief steward of the Pei family, this time the chief steward Pei specially sent him to give a New Year's gift, there is something I want to tell Your Highness!" ”
The eldest princess blushed and said after a while, "What does he want to tell me?" ”
"The man said that before his death, Scholar Pei was worried that Miss Pei Wu was a young daughter and did not get along much with her brother and sister-in-law, and was afraid that Miss Pei Wu would be helpless in the future, so he made a will and used half of the family property as Miss Pei Wu's dowry, and the other half was divided by the four sons according to the rules." Xue Shiren said, "But according to Steward Pei's understanding of the four sons of the Pei family, they will definitely not agree to do this." ”
The most terrible thing is, "After the death of Scholar Pei, Miss Pei Wu's marriage will be decided by her brother and sister-in-law." Chief Steward Pei is worried that the sons of the Pei family will use this to blackmail Miss Pei Wu to give up the dowry! ”
Xue Shiren sighed, "Chief Steward Pei watched Miss Pei Wu grow up, and was entrusted by the old master on his deathbed, so he must take care of Miss Pei Wu!" But he is just a slave in the end, and he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the four sons of the Pei family and let down the Pei scholars. I can only take the opportunity of giving a New Year's gift to send someone to ask His Highness to make decisions for Miss Pei Wu! ”
"What else does this say? Even if that child is not my daughter-in-law anymore, she is also my daughter-in-law after all, how can I ignore her! The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom originally felt sorry for Pei Yourui, hearing that this righteous daughter had suffered the pain of losing her father, and was facing the dilemma of being bullied by her brother and sister-in-law, she was heartbroken and guilty, and couldn't help but cry like rain, choked up, "You quickly arrange people to go to Youzhou, and after condoling Pei He, bring the child back to me - from now on, my stepmother will be her dependence, see who dares to snub her!" ”
Song Yi pursed her lips with a smile and didn't speak: What is going on with Pei Yourui, the righteous daughter, who doesn't know in the imperial capital? If she is really taken back to the imperial capital and lives in the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, even if Princess Changxing and his wife have their own Princess Changxing Mansion to live in, it will be embarrassing enough!
However, this also means that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is determined to defend Pei Yourui!
Xue Shiren was suddenly awe-inspiring: "The lower officials obey orders!" ”
He retired to arrange - Pei He's death, Pei Yourui's predicament, the double bad news made the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom obviously depressed, especially after confirming Nie Wuying's safety, she didn't have the interest to ask anything in detail, and said, "Ying'er is still in the Su family now?" ”
Song Yixiao said cautiously: "The eldest sister has already gone to pick it up in person, and sent her daughter-in-law to tell you so that you don't have to worry." ”
"Coax her well." The eldest princess waved her hand tiredly, "I'm tired, go and rest first!" ”
Song Yi sent her mother-in-law away with a smile, and then she left the back hall - on the way to the second gate, she bumped into Princess Changxing who was in a hurry.
"You have already told your mother the whereabouts of your fifth sister?" When Princess Changxing saw her, she frowned slightly, stopped and asked.
Seeing this, Song Yixiao also stopped, made a family salute, and nodded: "Not bad!" ”
"It's fast to be courteous!" Princess Changxing sneered and said disdainfully, "That's a letter from my cousins, are you embarrassed to take the lead?" ”
Song Yi glanced at her with a smile and said, "My mother hasn't eaten anything for a day today, and I'm worried about my fifth sister, in this case, if I know the good news, of course, the sooner I tell you, the better!" When the Su family sent someone to say that the fifth sister was with their sixth and seventh misses, the third sister-in-law was not there at all, and I didn't know when you would come back, how could you delay? ”
He also said, "You are not only my mother's daughter-in-law, but also my mother's niece, don't you make meritorious contributions, and my mother won't love you?" ”
Princess Changxing snorted and said, "You have sharp teeth!" But the reason why I'm not here is because I'm looking for my fifth sister outside - what about you? ”
"I looked for it with my eldest sister." Song Yixiao said unhurriedly, "If the third sister-in-law thinks that I don't care, why don't you ask the eldest sister?" ”
Princess Changxing's questioning was blocked, and her face became more and more unsightly, and she said, "Okay! I won't tell you this, I just ask you: The person who Xue Changshi personally received in the side hall was sent by the Pei family, yes or no? ”
Song Yixiao suddenly realized her true purpose of stopping herself, and said quietly: "Partial hall? I didn't go to the side hall, where do you know? Besides, I don't know a few Pei family members. ”
"What are you pretending to be?!" Princess Changxing sneered and said, "Xue Changshi went straight to the back hall when he got out of the side hall, obviously he went to his mother to tell him - calculate the time, you just happened to sell in front of your mother, how could you not know!" ”
"Since the third sister-in-law cares so much about the Pei family, why don't you go and ask your mother for advice in person?" Song Yixiao didn't have a good impression of Princess Changxing, and she didn't hold a grudge, but after hearing Xue Shiren say about Pei Yourui's misfortune, it was really difficult not to have contempt for the culprit, and she said sarcastically, "After all, there are only two righteous daughters in the mother's union, if you know that the third sister-in-law is interested in Sister Pei's family, you will be very relieved and happy, right?" ”
"You!" Princess Changxing was furious and raised her arms - Song Yixiao looked at her coldly and sneered: "You dare? ”
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are all here, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the husband are all all decent, Princess Changxing, the third sister-in-law who entered the door later than her, why did so many people teach her a lesson? If this golden branch and jade leaf really dares to make a move, she will dare to fall to the ground immediately and not be able to play to the end!
"Slut! Don't think that if you are fresh now, you can sit back and relax for the rest of your life! Princess Changxing's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, but she didn't dare to fall, and said through gritted teeth, "Let's see!" ”
Song Yi looked at her back with a smile, and chuckled: "How can we walk and see?" You're noble, haven't you been losing to me all the time?! ”
Before the words fell, I saw that Princess Changxing, who had already walked a few steps, almost stumbled, turned her head and glared at her fiercely for a moment, before she snorted very resentfully, brushed her sleeves and left!
Song Yi smiled and pursed the corners of her lips, tidied up her skirt, and then floated away.
When she returned to the Yanguo Mansion by car, Jian Xubai had already received the news and came back, and when she saw her, she hurriedly asked: "The fifth sister was really met by the sisters of the Su family, and there was nothing wrong?" ”
"That's what the Su family sent to report to my mother's place said, whether it's such a coincidence, I don't know." Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "But the man repeatedly emphasized that the fifth sister is very safe, I think this should be no problem - when the Su family reported the news, the eldest sister was also there, and the eldest sister said that there was such a big move in order to find the fifth sister today, if she went to see the fifth sister together, I am afraid she would be afraid." So let me go and tell my mother that she went to Su's house alone to pick up people, and told us that we don't have to visit again today, and wait for her news tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”
Jian Xubai heard that the county lord of Qingjiang had taken over this matter, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said guiltily: "These days are really busy, and I am confused for a while today, which makes the fifth sister sad—but it is cold and snowy, and the girl's family quietly leaves the house, which is too inappropriate!" ”
After all, "if you are angry with your family, how can you put yourself in danger because of this?" ”
Song Yi smiled and sighed: "The fifth sister is basically settled now, and it's okay." Our righteous sister is also in a worrying situation! ”
Jian Xubai was surprised: "Didn't their father and daughter return to Youzhou a long time ago?" Could it be that the people of the Pei clan are not good to them? ”
"Scholar Pei is gone." Song Yi smiled and said gloomily, and Jian Xubai couldn't make a sound for a long time.
She said what had happened, and finally said, "I'm a little worried about my mother: for the sake of my fifth sister today, my mother hasn't eaten much for a day, and she is always in suspense!" I just went to tell the good news of the safety of my fifth sister, and my mother hasn't shown a smile yet, Xue Changshi went to talk about my sister again! This ...... of great sorrow and joy"
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is forty-eight years old this year!
If it weren't for Zhuo Ping'an's defects, the county lord of Qingjiang would be bent on getting his son a wife with both talent and appearance, and the eldest princess would be a great-grandmother!
People of this age, even if they have always been pampered, where can they withstand the stimulation of ups and downs?
Jian Xubai was silent for a long time before he said: "Aunt Jiayue in front of my mother has always been careful, and Ming'er should ask the imperial doctor to ask my mother for a pulse." ”
The eldest princess has a noble status, there is no shortage of food or clothing, and a large group of people surround her all day long, and those who are sons and daughters-in-law are useless in most cases.
On this day, due to the matter between Nie Wuying and Pei Yourui, both husband and wife were a little sad, and after dinner, they settled without saying anything.
Early the next morning, Jian Xubai went out to the court before dawn again, and Song Yixiao slept until dawn and had to get up - she only remembered after she got up, Nie Wuying made such a fuss yesterday, and today she didn't know if she would go back to the Jin Princess's mansion, most of them didn't have time to come to learn dance by herself.
In other words, she can actually sleep again today......
But when they all got up, Song Yixiao was not a lazy person, shook his head, and let the people below come up one by one to talk about things.
After disposing of the day's housework, Jin Xun handed over a warm rose dew, and a little maid came in and said, "Madam, the county lord of Qingjiang has sent someone!" ”
Song Yixiao only said that he was talking about Nie Wuying's situation, and hurriedly said, "Bring it in!" ”
Who wants to come to her, salute and ask Anbi, but said: "My county master took Miss Nie to Zhanchun Pavilion to live for a few days, and I want to invite Mrs. Song to accompany you!" ”
"How many days?" Song Yi smiled and said in surprise, "Zhanchun Pavilion is indeed a good place, if it can, I would like to go and play." But during this time, my husband was busy with official business, and he had to get up early and be greedy for darkness almost every day - I want to leave at this eye joint, I'm afraid I will make trouble for him! ”
The man sighed: "Madam, you don't know: yesterday, in order to find Miss Nie, the imperial capital was alarmed, and you also know Miss Nie's temperament, so you will naturally be embarrassed to continue to stay in the imperial capital, because my county lord can only take her out of the city for temporary shelter." The county lord went to the Zhanchun Pavilion, and my son-in-law must go too! But in case my son-in-law needs the company of the county lord, won't Miss Nie have no one to take care of him? ”
Seeing what Song Yi wanted to say with a smile, the man then said, "Mrs. Shou Chunbo has four young ladies under her knees, all of whom are not adults, even if they go to the Zhanchun Pavilion, their own children can't see it, how can they still have the energy to take care of Miss Nie?" Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing wants to stay in the imperial capital to congratulate her uncle Ji Guogong on his birthday - Ji Guogong is his birthday five days later, so it is not easy to leave. The county lord thinks about it, and can only ask you to work hard! ”
Thinking of her mother-in-law's anger yesterday, Song Yi smiled and bit her lip. After a while, I had to say: "I have to pack up a few clothes, and I have to send someone to explain to my husband!" ”
