Chapter 167: Grandfather Song Ying
There is a princess in Wuhuan who did not enter the Darui court, Song Yixiao has heard about it in her past and present lives - but she doesn't know what happened to that princess after she entered the palace.
If it weren't for Jian Xubai confiding in her mouth today, she really didn't know that the unknown warm lady in the palace was once the golden branch and jade leaf Feinuan princess of Wuhuan.
"Listening to his tone, do you seem to have pity for this warm lady?" Originally, Song Yixiao didn't care even if she knew that Nuan Shuren was Princess Wuhuan, but the look on her face when she mentioned this person made her instinctively feel abnormal, "He was a hostage in Wuhuan for several years, although he said that his identity was hindered over there, he might not dare to be humiliated; The cause of this incident is the Su family's trouble, but it stands to reason that he should also have some resentment towards Wu Huan, right? ”
In this case, Jian Xubai still has pity for the daughter of the lord of Wuhuan country, which wife can not think about it?
It's just that it's inconvenient to talk on this occasion at the moment, so Song Yi smiled and smiled: "Okay, I'll list the gift list for you to see at that time." ”
"You don't have to be so solemn, her current position, just send something." Jian Xubai sensed the suspicion under his wife's words, and the wine bottle handed to his lips paused, lowered his eyes and said, "If you feel troublesome, forget it." ”
Song Yixiao pretended to be engrossed in admiring His Highness's singing and dancing, but did not answer.
Next, although the hall became more and more lively, the thoughts of the husband and wife were not here, and they were all worried about making it clear after returning home.
However, he finally stayed up until the end of the family banquet before leaving the palace, and the prince sent someone to stop Jian Xubai: "Your Highness said that you drank a few more drinks at the banquet, did you go to the East Palace to wake up and drink before returning home?" ”
"I must be discussing the matter of making room for Cousin Ji!" Jian Xubai smiled bitterly, and said to his wife through the car curtain, "You go back and settle first, you don't have to wait for me." ”
Song Yi smiled lightly and responded.
But thinking about the warm lady, where can she sleep?
After rummaging through the tent, he finally waited for Jian Xubai to return to the room - Song Yixiao heard the movement of him coming in and sat up hurriedly.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Jian Xubai entered the tent while untying her robe, and saw that her head was full of green silk and still curled up with a long hairpin, but she didn't know if she was not placed? I couldn't help but worry, "I said don't wait for me!" ”
Song Yixiao heard the concern in his tone, his heart softened, and the euphemistic temptation he had prepared became straightforward: "What is the relationship between you and Princess Feinuan?" ”
"You don't sleep just to ask me this?" Jian Xubai was already a little tired after going to the banquet, and was summoned by the prince to the East Palace for a long time, and finally came back, and said that his wife was not at ease waiting for him, but who knew that he suspected that he was having an affair with the palace concubine - he has been hiding his thoughts in the past few years, and he was disappointed and unhappy when he heard the words, but he refused to say that he was dissatisfied, and only said lightly, "Hengzhi She is already the emperor's uncle's person, are you still worried about what I have to do with her?!" ”
"How can I care about your business?" Song Yixiao didn't doubt him very much, but Jian Xu's answer under the anger seemed to imply melancholy, which made her heart feel cold, suppressed her complicated feelings, and said lightly, "It's just that I'm afraid that you will show traces in front of people, make people suspicious, and find out what clues." When the time comes, you will hurt yourself and her, and even I will not end well! ”
Jian Xubai originally thought that after he tactfully confided his displeasure, his wife should be kind enough to comfort him - then he just borrowed the donkey from the slope to tell him about Princess Feinuan, and everyone was open and honest.
Who would have thought that Song Yixiao wouldn't give him this opportunity at all, and there was even more estrangement in his words?
He became more and more disappointed, and he didn't want to explain, so he just said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure!" ”
Song Yi smiled and heard this, took a deep look at him, raised his hand to pick off the long hairpin, and lay down without saying a word - this scene was seen in Jian Xubai's eyes, but his heart softened for no reason, and he secretly thought: "Since ordinary people are suspicious enough to suspect that I have something to do with Lady Nuan, how can they die down so quickly?" She did this just because she thought that her mother's family had no one to rely on, so even if she was wronged, she didn't dare to ask if she didn't want to say it! ”
This wife was chosen by himself, just as Wei Mengying mentioned his daughter - even if there were various considerations when choosing her, but she must have liked it a little - since the two got married, they got along day and night, and Song Yixiao was only talented and good-looking, and the love that was originally just out of appreciation and sympathy gradually became sincere.
After being silent for a moment at this moment, Jian Xubai sighed in the end, and first bowed his head and said: "When I was in Wuhuan, Lady Nuan - she was Princess Feinuan at the time, and she admired Han style, so she often came to the place where we lived to ask for advice. At that time, of course, we didn't want to pay attention to her, but she was like Xue Pei's sister, and she didn't care about our cold faces, and gradually Xue Pei was occasionally willing to explain some allusions to her or something...... Later, when she went more, we would all point her out. ”
However, "in the end, it's also boring to live in seclusion, just to pass the time!" ”
"The Wuhuan lord in the middle did intend to promise her to me, but I really didn't want to do anything to her, and secondly, I also considered the future, so I simply refused."
"But after a few years of getting along, there is finally some affection. When I heard that she had a miscarriage today, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. ”
Song Yixiao was still indignant, but when she heard this, she couldn't help blushing, turned her head, and saw her husband's lost expression, and became more and more guilty: "...... Sorry! ”
"It's also my fault, these things should have been told to you earlier." Seeing her admit her mistake, Jian Xubai felt much better in her heart, became more and more generous, and said with a pleasant face, "We are husband and wife, what misunderstanding can't be said?" ”
"This is his experience in Wuhuan, and the person surnamed Qiu is still holding on to that experience!" Song Yi smiled and heard this, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he secretly thought, "What a humiliating memory for him?" It's no wonder he didn't mention it to me before! ”
But just now she was unhappy, but Jian Xubai still said it - why did he do this, Song Yixiao was also seriously trained by his mother, why don't you understand?
For a while, I felt that I was making trouble unreasonably before, and while I was ashamed, I was both grateful and moved by Jian Xubai's concession.
It's just that although the husband and wife resolved a misunderstanding, they didn't go any further-Song Yixiao felt that she couldn't stand her husband, but she lost her intimacy.
This embarrassment was not completely eliminated until the next morning, Jian Xubai looked at his wife's awkward appearance and was amused, but he was in a good mood, but he had no intention of breaking it, and only took care of her a little more between his demeanor.
The two left the house in this atmosphere of mutual consideration but nothing to say.
For going to Qiu Shuxia's cousin's house to pay New Year's greetings, Song Yixiao was mentally prepared to face a storm.
When the governor came to an end, the trip to Qiu Fu was not as unbearable as she thought-
Qiu Shuxia, who has a clear appearance and elegant speech, although she is lukewarm to Jian Xubai and is quite unkind in her words, she is very kind to Song Yixiao, and also mentioned Song Yixiao's grandfather Song Ying: "He left early, and you child suffered a lot for no reason!" ”
Song Yixiao had never seen his grandfather at all, and of course he wouldn't feel anything when he heard the words, so he said a few perfunctory words to him, so he didn't take it to heart.
Qiu Shuxia finished talking to her, turned her head and stared at Jian Yiyu again, and said, "You have always been a gentleman who does not seek improvement......
"This eldest uncle is now King Zhao's brother-in-law, and Qiu Shuxia is on King Zhao's side, what are you scolding him for?" Song Yixiao was still slandering this cousin in his heart for relying on the old and selling the old, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help crying and laughing, "Isn't he willing to take refuge in King Zhao?" ”
This is strange, King Zhao didn't want to compete for the crown prince recently, if Jian Yi didn't expect this wife and brother to inherit the unification, why did he regret the marriage in the first place?
Qiu Shuxia finished scolding Jian Yi before it was over, and the Wei Wang couple could not escape his drunkenness-after three rounds of wine, although the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall could not dispel the silence of the audience.
In this case, Qiu's wife Jiang Shi was like sitting on pins and needles, busy making a look at the left and right, and after a while, the next person offered a bottle of wine, Qiu Shuxia took it and took a sip, and said suspiciously: "The taste of this wine ......."
Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen headlong - Jiang Shi met everyone's surprised gaze and said calmly: "He drank too much, don't be surprised!" ”
No one must be surprised, this old guy has scolded the juniors who came to pay New Year's greetings almost one by one, okay?!
After the banquet was dispersed that day, on the way back to the Yanguo Mansion, Song Yi couldn't help but say to her husband with a smile: "It's really not easy for my cousin!" ”
"It's not easy for us either!" Jian said lightly, "Every year, I have to send it to the door to see that old guy relying on the old and selling the old." ”
Song Yi smiled: "......"
Sensing that her husband would be in a bad mood, she didn't say anything.
After returning to the mansion, the servant handed over tea to relieve fatigue, Song Yi smiled, and was about to mention the matter of sending something to the warm lady, but Li Yu came in and said: "Grandpa, madam, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has sent someone to invite the two of you to come over the mansion to discuss matters." ”
Both husband and wife were surprised when they heard this: "What is it about the Chinese New Year that needs to be discussed with us?" ”
This Li Yu didn't know: "The person who came only said a word at the door and left, and the slave didn't know what was going on." ”
On the way to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Jian Xubai realized: "The people sent by my mother to Youzhou have been gone for more than half a month, right?" ”
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom received the bad news from Youzhou on Nie Wuying's birthday, and it was about twenty days away.
Song Yixiao calculated the distance, and her face changed slightly: "Is there anything wrong with Sister Pei?" ”
When I got to my mother-in-law, it was really like this - fortunately, it wasn't that Pei Yourui had any three strengths and two weaknesses, but that she didn't want to come to the imperial capital: "I know that she is uncomfortable, and I also know that she will feel embarrassed when she comes, but the chief steward of her family has sent someone to tell her that her brother and sister-in-law are not virtuous, so how can I rest assured that she will be left alone in Youzhou?" ”
The eldest princess was very irritable, "She has never been to that place before, she is not familiar with the place, how can a girl's house not be wronged!" It's the imperial capital, she is a native of here anyway - she lives alone in the old house of the Pei family in the imperial capital, which is better than living with her brother and sister-in-law in Youzhou! ”
Mother-in-law's mood, Song Yixiao understands very much.
But understanding is understanding, she doesn't have any good ideas - if she were to change herself, she might not be willing to come to the imperial capital?
How can this be figured out?
Jian Xubai said: "Or I will go in person?" Maybe Sister Yi will give me a face. ”
"There will be no outsiders here, so I'll be honest!" In this matter, in addition to the youngest son and daughter-in-law, the eldest princess only called the eldest daughter Qingjiang County Lord, which made the county lord frown and said, "Even if you ask Rouchi to go to Youzhou, it can't be Ah Xu, you go in person!" ”
The reason is very simple, "Originally, your relationship with the Yiyu couple was not very good, and if you went to pick up Yourui, how could the Yiyou couple not think that you deliberately targeted them?" ”
Although it is said that the two brothers have long been tired of each other, as their mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the eldest princess and the county lord of Qingjiang still hold on to the hope of preventing their relationship from deteriorating further.
After listening to the words of the county lord, the eldest princess nodded again and again: "What's more, Ah Xu, you have not been in the office for a long time, and you have been very busy recently, so how many days will you delay going to Youzhou in person?" Where can I draw this vacancy? ”
But Pei Yourui can't be allowed to stay in Youzhou - in the end, the lord of Qingjiang County made a suggestion carefully: "It's better to ...... Ask Uncle Jian? I heard that Uncle Jian tried to have a relationship with Pei Yuma, and since Scholar Pei confessed before his death that he wanted to leave half of the family property with Yourui, he would also tell her about this friendship, so that Yourui could ask for help when something happened? ”
