Chapter 446: Descendants and Side Branches
Early the next morning, Song Luoyan's sister-in-law led Song Xuan to the door with gifts.
Song Yixiao took Jian Qingyue and Lu Zhuo'er out to greet her, greeted each other for a while under the weeping flower gate, let each other go to the back hall, and after sitting down, they talked about the three children, sent them out to play, and cleared the scene, and the three of them talked about business.
"According to me, I can't let Xuan'er stay now, right?" Song Yixiao spoke first, "Sister Luo Yan's sister has no one to accompany him now, a child is strangely lonely." β
This was originally the purpose of Song Luoyan's sister-in-law to bring Song Xuan here today, before Song Luoshi gave her son to Song Yixiao as a righteous son, the picture is to bring the relationship between the two sides closer and conclude a stronger alliance, if Song Xuan has been living with his aunt, even if he has the name of mother and son, the relationship is not deep, what is the closeness?
But for now, Song Luoyan still wants to excuse herself: "Will it disturb my sister too much?" β
"Nothing bothered." Song Yi smiled and said, "Hengzhu, I already have two children of similar age to bring here, and the things and manpower are ready-made." Two days ago, I also cleaned up the house for Xuan'er, next door to Chaoping and Zhuo'er. In the future, the three of them went in and out of one by one, and it was both convenient and lively. In two years, when they are older, it will be time to go to school, and it will not be too late to separate when the time comesβcalculate the time, and my father-in-law will also be rehabilitated by then, and after he is still in the old age, he must live with us, so that it is convenient for us to fulfill our filial piety. At that time, the father-in-law can also instruct them in their homework, right? β
When Song Luoyan heard this, she glanced at her sister-in-law Shen Huaqing, and there was joy in her eyes: "So you can bother my sister!" β
Jian Li Miao was born in the first Jiatanhua, and he personally instructed Song Xuan's studies to be worry-free.
After this matter was decided, Song Luoyan settled down and talked about another important matter today: "Although Jiangnan Tang now has only one male brother of the Yiyao clan left, and he is young, but as a side branch, we will naturally go to greet each other during the New Year's holidays." It's just that Grandma Lu seems to be a little displeased with our visit. We were worried that we were rude somewhere and hated the matriarch of the clan, so we took the liberty to ask the subordinates of Jiangnan Hall, but we didn't want to, but we heard about something. I don't know if I should talk to my sister? β
She was embarrassed, "There is something to talk about, it is said that we are just a side branch, but my sister is the eldest lady of Jiangnan Hall, and she has always respected Grandma Lu, even if you want to tell your sister, these words should not come out of my mouth." It's just that I'm afraid it's true, but when the time comes, I'll sit back and watch my sister suffer! β
"There are no outsiders in Hengzhu, why don't you say it, sister, let's talk about it together?" Song Yixiao didn't believe that she was "afraid of hating the housewife of the clan", so she went to inquire about the news from the people around the Lu family. Nine is to see that the main branch is weak, and privately inserted eyeliner into the Song Mansion.
At this moment, Shen Huaqing was also there, and her voice did not move, it can be seen that most of the Shen family also knew, no, it should be said that she was involved in this matter.
- Speaking of which, her father Song Yuan is not angry, and she has a good life, but she has to be entangled with her ex-wife Wei Mengying.
As a result, the calculation failed, not only did he die, leaving behind orphans and widows, then the Lu family could barely be regarded as a family, but he was a young child. Female, since she was a child, her father and mother loved, and the scenes she has seen are nothing more than the ones that ordinary ladies know.
Song Yuan was here before, and there was Mrs. Pang above, so she had no problem taking care of the backyard.
Now that she has no elders and no husband, just Jiangnantang's industries all over the country are enough for her to break her heart, not to mention that she has to take care of three young girls under her knees?
However, in order to prevent the mother from being strong and the son from being weak, the old lady put the serious head of the family in the air, and the secret guard and other hole cards can only be used automatically after the head of the family ties his hair.
This will Song Luoyan got Song Yixiao's permission, so she said: "Grandma Lu has been secretly dating Aunt Liu recently!" It is the daughter of Liu Zhenxi, who served as the secretary of the Criminal Department and the waiter of the Criminal Department before, and later because of the bribery of the family, the Aunt Liu who once served the head of the previous family. In the year of the head of the family's death, when she was summer in Cuihua Mountain, she was given to her subordinates. Originally, when this Aunt Liu was in the Song Mansion, it was said that she was very sorry for Grandma Lu because she was young and beautiful, although she said that Grandma Lu had a large amount of equipment, and she didn't bother with her. But this will take the initiative to contact her, which is really suspicious! β
Moreover, "The people who told us the news said that they often mentioned my sister and Qingyue when they came and went, but they didn't know what was going on!" β
Song Yi was still calm when he heard the front, and when he heard that the Lu family and Liu Zhijin actually hit their daughter with the idea, his face suddenly became ugly: "I know, but I don't know if they have other actions?" β
"I don't know that." Song Luoyan persuaded softly, "Sister, don't be angry, there is a way to kill yourself if you do too much injustice, if the two of you really have bad intentions, you will have your own retribution, right?" β
What she said was tantamount to making it clear that if Song Yixiao wanted to get angry about this, she didn't have to do it herself, and the Song family was willing to do it for her.
However, although Song Yixiao hated her daughter for being calculated, she was actually a little suspicious of her words.
After all, Jiang Nantang is now a Song Yiyao, as long as he has three longs and two shorts, Jiang Nantang will be cut off.
The Lu family has no mother's support, and if the Song family's side branch wants to fight Jiang Nantang's idea, there are many ways to deal with her and her two daughters openly and secretly - their only concern should be that Song Yi smiled.
No matter how bad Song Yixiao's relationship with Jiang Nantang is, she and Song Yiyao are close relatives in the end. What's more, how many people can watch their mother's heir in these years? The Empress Dowager can't even see this!
So this time Song Luoyan came to tell her this, Song Yixiao was very suspicious, this was testing her attitude towards Lu's mother and son.
ββ¦β¦ That Aunt Liu is already an outsider, and I don't bother to say anything about her. Song Yixiao was silent for a while before she said, "My stepmother is an elder in the end, even if she has any misunderstanding about me, what can I do?" I only hope that Yiyao will grow up sooner so that he can persuade some stepmothers. β
Song Luoyan and Shen Huaqing heard this and understood: Song Yixiao didn't like the Lu family, but she didn't want Jiang Nantang to become an heir.
The two of them were thinking about it, and Song Luoyan said with a smile: "Sister is deeply blessed, thanks to your blessing, the younger brother of the Yiyao clan will be able to grow up safely and shine on my Jiangnan Song clan!" β
"But hope!" Song Yi smiled as if he was smiling, and he was a little unhappy in his heartβnot unhappy with the ambition of the Song family's side branch, but unhappy with this temptation.
Because since she knew the truth about Wei Mengying's death, she was really tired of the Lu family, and naturally she didn't have a good impression of Song Yiyao's three siblings.
Especially after Lu Zhuo'er was raised by her side, she was distressed when she saw this silent sister, and naturally thought of the lost Lu Cui'er - Lu himself knew that he loved his children, but he had thought about the innocence of Wei Mengying's two little daughters? !
For various reasons, Song Yixiao didn't do anything to Lu's mother and son, but if others did anything to them, to be honest, Song Yixiao didn't bother to care.
She is not the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has not been abused by her mother's family, Qiu Shuxia speaks so unpleasantly, and when she fought with someone at the court meeting, she never disrespected her aunt - the Empress Dowager has feelings for the Qiu family, so she can't sit back and watch her mother's heir.
But Song Yixiao really didn't feel that Jiang Nantang was the heir of Jiang Nantang, and he was distressed and sad.
After all, she was a human being in two lives, and what the Song Mansion gave her the most was harm.
But this Song Luoyan obviously came to ask her meaning, but she had to express her position to protect the mother and son of the Lu family.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a ready-made handle to the side branch?
She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
The next three of them didn't talk about this topic anymore, and Song Luoyan turned to talk about Shen Huaqing's marriage: "Since my husband entered Hanlin, many families have openly and secretly handed over the words, wanting to talk about my sister. It's just that we are new to the city, and we don't know much about the specific situation of other people's homes, so after thinking about it, we still have the cheekiness to ask my sister for help! β
"Sister Huaqing has such a good character, and hundreds of schools of thought should strive for it." Song Yi took a sip of tea with a smile, looked at Shen Huaqing and said with a smile, "But according to me, this marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is better for both parties to surrender." But I don't know what kind of husband Sister Huaqing likes? Speaking out, when I help, I have a good bottom in my heart. β
Although Shen Huaqing was generous, she also blushed with shame, and said angrily at Song Luoyan: "It's just that I didn't help my sister-in-law with needlework yesterday, and my sister-in-law came to make fun of me today!" said that he just came to visit Sister Song, why did he talk about me? β
"Men should get married, women should get married, what are you shy about?" Song Luoyan turned to dislike her, "Your sister Song is not an outsider!" Take advantage of the fact that there will be no outsiders here, you can say your thoughts frankly, lest you hide and not explain clearly, when the time comes, we will be sisters-in-law and sisters, understand your preferences wrongly, and tell you that you are wrong, and then you will be too late to cry! β
Song Yi smiled and laughed: "What your sister-in-law said is right!" We're all from the past, who still laughs at you? This will not be the time to be shy. β
The two persuaded each other, but Shen Huaqing couldn't hold back and said: "Gentle and elegant people are easy to get along with!" β
Then he got up with a red face, and under the pretext of going to see Song Xuan and them, he slipped away as if he was running away.
After she left, Song Yixiao talked to Song Luoyan again, seeing that the time was almost up, and was about to order someone to keep the meal, Song Luoyan suddenly said: "Sister, do you think our idea of beating the concubine is not kind?" β
Song Yixiao didn't expect her to spread out and talk about this, frowned slightly, and then said: "I just think that as a married woman, many things actually have nothing to do with me, and if you have to drag me into the water, it really gives me a headache!" β
"Actually, it was originally for my sister's sake, and we wouldn't be disrespectful to our sisters." Song Luoyan pursed her lips and explained, "But that Grandma Lu is too much!" Does my sister know? In the year you went to Liaozhou, Jiangnantang's industry has shrunk by at least more than half! β
"Half?" Song Yi smiled startled, "Where did they go?" β
"The important ministers of the court, the clan such as King Liang and others, and even the Marquis of Boling." Song Luoyan said angrily, "Those are all the blue wisps of my Song ancestor's Lu Lu, and little by little they are saved and passed on to the descendants of the heirs!" It's good for her, she sends it everywhere like a white pick-serious sister here, she keeps saying that she will obey the orders of the ancestor of the family, but when has she ever given her sister something serious?! If it weren't for the appearance of her loser, I was worried that my Yiyao clan brother would have nothing when he became an adult, and my maternal brother would not have sent someone to keep an eye on her! β
He also said, "This news was reported by the stewards of the Shen and Liu families in various places, and my mother's brother sent people to check a few places, and found that they were not lying, and even the wording was a little tactful!" β
Song Yi took a sip of tea with a smile and smiled faintly: "Is there anything else?" But Yiyao is my stepmother's biological flesh and blood, how could my mother hurt my own son? Maybe the stepmother has her idea when she does this, right? Now that the Song Mansion is her home, she wants to do this, and I, a married daughter, can't say anything - besides, there are too many things in Jiangnan Hall, even if there is only half of it left, I can't hurt my younger brothers and sisters if I think about it? β
"That's what my sister said!" Song Luoyan originally thought that she would be very angry when she heard the news, but she didn't care at all, and even thought that the Song side branch was nosy, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then forced a smile, "It's just that when I think of my ancestors, I always feel uneasy!" β
What does the ancestor of the Song family have to do with me?
Song Yixiao sneered in her heart, when she suffered in the Song family for two lives, she didn't see any ancestor apparition to help her - horizontal and vertical is something that Song Yuan did with the Lu family, let them explain to their ancestors at that time!
So when he heard this, he only said lightly: "If the ancestors of the Song family don't like it, they will punish it, let's be the younger generation, don't overstep our bounds, right?" β
Song Luoyan was helpless, so she had to say: "What my sister said is that we have overpassed!" β
However, after she said goodbye to Shen Huaqing on this day, Song Yixiao sent the guest back to the room, but her face was solemn: "With Gu Shao here, even if it is an orphan and a widow, who dares to have the idea of beating Jiang Nantang?" What kind of madness is Lu Shi doing? β
