Although Linghu Deyin is a person from Ji Guogong, but in the end he is the highest commander of the Ministry of War.

At the moment, the two of them didn't care about mentioning going to Yuan's house, Jian Xubai explained to Song Yixiao with a smile, and got out of the carriage directly, let the guards vacate a horse to ride, and go back to the house to change clothes first-because today is the day when Jian Yiyou and Princess Changxing have tea, of course he is not good at dressing too plainly, but now it is not suitable to go directly to Linghu's house.

He was in a hurry, and Song Yixiao didn't have time to delay, so he ordered the coachman to hurry back.

The so-called husband sings with the wife, the husband's boss wants to mourn, and she always has to go to comfort the female relatives of the Linghu family.

Half an hour later, when Song Yixiao returned to the Yanguo Mansion, Jian Xubai had already changed her clothes and went out, she went to the back hall to explain what had happened to Zhao's mother and others, and asked people to take out a plain dress, and removed the gorgeous jewelry between the temples, just cleaned up, and before she got up, the moon lantern came in and said: "Uncle and grandma are here, saying that they are here to see Miss Watch!" ”

"Send someone to my cousin's side to say that I'll go to meet my aunt first!" Song Yixiao thought about it when he heard this, the Yanguo Mansion usually had nothing to do with the Linghu family, but now that the old lady of the Linghu family had just passed away, there was no need to rush over immediately.

And Wei Chan has contracted a cold since the last time she "fell into the lake", and she has been lying down for half a month before gradually recovering. In the middle of this, Song Yixiao helped her ask Lu Guanlun for a grace date to dissolve the marriage, and handed over a few messages to the Wei family, but the Wei family's attitude was very ambiguous, and they never made it clear how they would arrange Wei Chan in the future, and they never sent anyone to visit.

In this case, Song Yixiao naturally couldn't be sure about the purpose of her eldest aunt's trip, but she didn't dare to let her be alone with Wei Chan.

So I decided to deal with this matter first, and then go to Linghu Mansion to mourn.

After a while, she greeted Mu Shi under the weeping flower gate: "The eldest aunt has lost a lot, but are you worried about your cousin?" ”

"Thanks to you this time!" Compared with the last time we met, Mu not only lost a lot of weight, but also looked very haggard. After seeing her niece, she showed a reluctant smile and sighed, "Otherwise, Chan'er would have ...... a long time ago."

Song Yi interrupted with a smile and said, "What did the eldest aunt say?" If my grandmother and aunts didn't love me back then, where would I be today? My cousin is your dear daughter, and she trusts me when she asks my cousin for help, so how can I stand idly by? ”

"We all deserve it." Mu and others made a big fuss about the Song family and forced the Liu family to death, in the final analysis, in order to clear their own family, and there were not many thoughts about upholding justice for their nieces.

Strictly speaking, it was the Wei family who borrowed the guise of Song Yixiao and took a big advantage.

Song Yixiao didn't understand this truth back then, but now he has made a good order, how can he not count it?

So instead of feeling relaxed, Mu Shi said cautiously, "It's useless to talk about it, we can't compare to the Song family, and it's your elders who treat you badly, I'm afraid that people won't believe it, so I can only explain the cause and effect clearly - you were still young at the time, and it doesn't hurt to say something, and I don't know if you will be caught now?" ”

Song Yi smiled and said: "The mouth grows on other people's bodies, what do they say?" We're doing well on our own, aren't we? ”

Mu Shi pondered for a while, and felt that it seemed to be referring to Wei Chan, Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought: "It seems that this niece is indeed sincere to Chan'er." ”

In this case, shouldn't you care much about the use of outsiders back then?

…… In fact, although the Wei family used Song Yixiao back then, they did help Song Yixiao, and logically speaking, there is no need to be afraid that Song Yixiao will be dissatisfied with the Wei family.

But this time Wei Mengying's revenge made the Wei family frightened, but also worried that if there is a mother, there will be a daughter, after all, Wei Mengying is the eldest lady of the Wei family, and she has married twice, and the Wei family has made a contribution. What's more, Song Yixiao, who has only lived in the Wei family for a few days?

With such thoughts, Mu didn't dare to treat Song Yixiao as a junior.

The two chatted casually about Wei Chan's recent situation, and when they arrived at the Jiangxing Pavilion, they entered the door and saw Wei Chan wrapped in a fox fur, standing in the threshold and looking out - she was able to get up for a few days, she was very thin, and the fox fur was made for her by Song Yi with a smile, and she chose a long and dense skin, which brought out her petite and pitiful more and more.

Seeing this, the tip of his nose couldn't help but sour, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace: "Didn't you say that you haven't been well with the wind and cold?" Why do you still come out to blow the wind?! ”

After saying this, I remembered that Song Yi was smiling on the side, I was a little anti-guest in what I said, and I was a little uncomfortable, but Wei Chan chuckled and said: "I've been lying down almost all these days, so it's easy to take a step in the past two days, I heard that my mother is here, how can I not welcome her?" ”

And said, "Don't worry, mother, look at the fox fur my cousin gave me, it's warm!" ”

"Why are you so ignorant, kid?" Only then did Mu Shi notice that the coat on his daughter's body was pure white, without a trace of variegation, and he knew that it was not cheap at a glance. Although the Wei family has a prince and son-in-law, who has been taken care of by the Hengshan Royal Mansion over the years, the foundation is too thin, and in terms of power and financial resources, in the family of the imperial capital official eunuchs, it is just ordinary.

Such a good Qiu, if it is in the Wei family, I am afraid that only the old lady Cao is qualified to wear it, and no one else, let alone granddaughters and daughters-in-law, is willing to buy it.

Now that the niece has bought it for her cousin casually, Mu Shi has mixed feelings in her heart, and after entering the door, she counted down her daughter, "Your cousin has been busy for you for so long, even your aunt has offended, you are not angry and contracted the cold, and your cousin has worried you and treated you, these kindnesses have not been repaid!" Why are you asking for such expensive clothes from your cousin! ”

"I don't like to hear my aunt say this!" Song Yixiao took a sip of the tea handed by his servant, and said angrily, "When I was in the Wei family, did my aunt ask me how much I needed to spend on food and clothing?" Now I just made a dress for my cousin, and you just see it like this! Shouldn't I be my niece? ”

Mu Shi smiled bitterly: "The greatest blessing in my life is about having your niece, how can I not recognize you?" ”

sighed again, "It's just that Chan'er, this child is a miserable person, I'm afraid that she will be spoiled by you, and she will ...... in the future."

She shook her head and didn't continue, but Song Yixiao and Wei Chan both heard the ominousness, Song Yixiao's heart jumped, and said: "If the eldest aunt is not an outsider for me, why not talk about the situation specifically, there is a way that one person counts short, and everyone counts long, maybe everyone will think about it together, there will be a way?" ”

"You also know about Chan'er." Mu Shi looked left and right when he heard this, and saw Song Yi smiling and speaking, so that all the subordinates retreated, and did not go around in circles, and went straight to the point, "The retreat with Lu Sangongzi must be retreated, the problem is that after retiring, it is impossible for the family to support her for a lifetime, and she always has to be allowed to do so." But many people in the family think that it is better not to ask her to turn around in front of her aunt, it is better to send her farther away - you also know that the Wei family and my maiden family, the Mu family, are both from the imperial capital, and they don't know people from far away at all! How do you find someone for her? ”

wiped away her tears and said, "What's more, even if she finds it, she is a girl far away in a foreign land, and no one will say anything about being wronged at that time, let alone someone to administer justice to her - you said that since she has such a life, the blessings she enjoys now will be a world of difference in retrospect in the future, how can she live this life?" ”

When Mu said this, Wei Chan was already in tears.

Song Yi smiled and flicked the bracelet on his wrist, and was about to speak, but Li Yu knocked on the door, and said with some urgency: "Madam, the grandfather has sent someone back to urge you, saying that Linghu Shangshu has already handed over Ding Wei's fold, and there will be a will in the palace immediately, if you go after the decree, I'm afraid it will seem sluggish!" ”

"The old lady of the Linghu family is gone?" Linghu Deyin's mother was diagnosed last month not many days, this news is not a secret, Mu Shi also heard about it, this will be busy and said, "Then Xiaoxiao, you go quickly, don't delay your business for us!" ”

Song Yi smiled and sighed: "It's really unfortunate today, the eldest aunt is talking to my cousin, and I'll go to Linghu's family to deal with it - don't worry, cousin's lifelong events, the solutions are all thought up by people, not to mention that my cousin is only thirteen years old now, isn't it?" ”

After appeasing Wei Chan a few more words, he got up to say goodbye.

After she went out, she didn't feel at ease, so she left Jinxun to watch the house: "You pay attention to the apricot pavilion, don't ask your cousin to have anything happen again!" ”

Although Jin Xun didn't like Wei Chan very much, she didn't dare to disobey Song Yixiao's order - Song Yixiao kept her, mainly because she was a maid who served her to grow up, and she had a special status among the maids, and she was also bold and could hold the scene.

After arranging the mansion, Song Yixiao immediately rushed to Linghu Mansion by car - when she arrived, there was already a lot of traffic outside the gate, if it weren't for the fact that many people saw the carriage marked by the Yanguo Mansion and took the initiative to give way, they would almost not be able to squeeze in.

"What a carelessness today!" Song Yixiao looked outside from the gap in the car curtain, and secretly sighed, "I just think that the Yanguo Mansion has no contact with the Linghu family, and it is still a political enemy, which means that, there is no need to come early, but I forgot that since Your Majesty Xu Linghu Deyin stepped down with dignity, how could there be no grace?" ”

If it weren't for Jian Xubai's reminder, she, the mistress of the Yanguo Mansion, would be rude today!

"Mrs. Song!" Song Yixiao's carriage entered the house from the corner gate, and when she got off the car, a servant woman greeted her, saluted and explained, "The old lady passed away, the lord and the lady, the son, the grandmother, and the young lady were all very sad and could not come to greet them in person, and I hope the lady will forgive!" ”

"Don't dare to be." The servant's attitude was respectful but not affectionate, and Song Yixiao replied with a little reserve, "The matter has come to this point, please also ask your family to mourn by the way!" ”

- The two families are neither friends nor political enemies, and there is nothing to say except polite words.

The servant didn't take Song Yixiao directly to the mourning hall to offer incense, but led her into a flower hall, and after letting people serve tea, she curtled her knees and said, "There are only a few adults who are paying tribute, will it be convenient for the slave maid to take a look?" ”

Song Yixiao was relieved when she heard this reason.

After the servant woman left, she took a look at this flower hall, it was not big, but it was quite exquisite, perhaps because the old lady of the Linghu family passed away not abruptly, and this would not be half of the bright furnishings, obviously specially packed up to receive hanging guests.

"Mrs. Song, are you there too?" She took a sip of tea, and suddenly heard footsteps outside, so she put down the tea bowl and waited-who expected that it was not the servant woman who came in, but the sisters Su Shaomo and Su Shaoling.

Song Yixiao hurriedly got up and greeted them: "The two of you are here too?" It is said that there are men on the other side of the mourning hall now, and it will take a while for us to go to worship! ”

When she spoke, the Su sisters had already come in and were about to walk towards the seats together, when a voice came from outside the door, saying, "Sister Song, don't you know me?" ”

Song Yixiao was stunned when she heard this, and stopped and turned her head in surprise: "Sister Jiang? ”

Outside the threshold, the green skirt and white skirt, standing in the wind, are Jiang Muyao, who has never been seen after the banquet!
