Chapter 90: Teach You to Be a Real Good Wife!
Song Yixiao's face was still a little pale after going downstairs, but he saw that Jian Limiao did not enter the house, but waited in the court, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Did it scare you?" Jian Limiao called her up and said kindly, "My two subordinates don't know much about etiquette, don't be surprised." β
"The third uncle is serious." Song Yi pursed her lips with a smile and said-Jian Limiao didn't let the two of them avoid it, she peeked at it, and was surprised to find that these two people were actually not hideous-looking, one of them had beautiful eyebrows, and he looked very weak. This will be a little sneering and smiling, very well-behaved.
If it weren't for the fact that there would still be some lingering palpitations in her heart, she would have suspected that Fang Cai's murderous gaze was just her own hallucination.
"Where's Ah Xu?" Jian Limiao took her into the house, and when she didn't see Jian Xubai, she asked left and right.
"Grandpa just said that he was tired, so he went to the wing room to rest." The housekeeper hurriedly said, "The old slave is going to please!" β
Jian Limiao waved his hand to signal him to go, turned to Song Yi and smiled: "I saw that you were just upstairs, I think you were looking at something inside?" Do you have a favorite? β
Song Yixiao understood that he was going to send himself, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "I'm just a shallow learner, so I'll just watch the excitement." β
"It's all your own family, what are you doing so politely?" Jian Li smiled and said, "You kid is so outspoken! β
"It's only when my family is out of sight that I dare to tell the truth. If you are an outsider, you can't let them know that I don't know the details of my lack of learning, otherwise I will be embarrassed by my husband! Although Song Yixiao was amazed at the richness of his family's wealth, he didn't have any covetousness, which would divert the topic, "Speaking of which, the third uncle looks really good today, but you are Da'an?" β
Jian Limiao smiled and said, "You kid is modest...... I've really gotten a lot better in the past two days. β
The wing room is next to it, so after talking about these two sentences, Jian Xubai came.
After he entered the door, he greeted Jian Limiao, swept the two people before, bowed slightly, and greeted in a friendly tone: "Uncle Lu, Brother Luo!" β
"Hello grandpa!" The two of them gave a salute and greeted Song Yixiao, and then asked for guilt to say that they had just disturbed Song Yixiao - before Song Yixiao could speak, Jian Xubai had already lost her smile and said: "She has always been very bold, how can she be disturbed by a glance?" β
Song Yi smiled: "......"
Is this a compliment to her?
But this matter was revealed, and then the kitchen delivered the pastries that had just come out of the steamer, and Jian Limiao greeted his nephew and niece and daughter-in-law while caring about their current situationβthis uncle was obviously well-read and very knowledgeable.
When chatting, not only all kinds of allusions and anecdotes came at hand, but I learned that Song Yixiao was good at embroidery, and he could also give some pointers. Speaking of the rise place, call people to take out the zither, on the spot to play a "jackdaw playing in the water", in the sound of Ding Ding's music, it seems that in the room out of a vast smoke and water, several jackdaws fly and perch, chase and play, leisurely, full of exquisite skills, so that Song Yixiao frequently admired.
In short, the three uncles and nephews were happy on this day, and it was not until dinner that the couple said goodbye.
On the way back, Song Yixiao couldn't help but ask: "Then Uncle Lu and Brother Luo, I don't know who they are?" I look out of the ordinary. β
"You'll find out later." Hearing this, Jian Xubai glanced at her with some amusement, "You ask this, are you really scared today?" β
"It's just that I didn't expect to see a foreign man." Song Yixiao heard the teasing meaning in his tone, and said lukewarmly.
Jian Xubai smiled meaningfully and did not speak again.
When they returned to the Yanguo Mansion, it was late, and since they had already eaten at Jian Limiao's place, the two of them went separately to bathe and change clothes.
Song Yixiao cleaned up, and when he returned to the room, he saw a few scrolls on the table and a brocade box, which looked very unfamiliar, so he asked, "What are these?" β
Jin Xun smiled and said, "The third master sent it to you, and said that it was for you to play with." β
When I opened it, it was the ancient painting of the former dynasty that she had stared at before, not only that one, but also several artistic conceptions and styles that were similar, all of which were masterpieces and were well preserved; Inside the brocade box is a gilded inlaid treasure incense burner.
The incense burner is only the size of a fist, antique, Song Yixiao turned over and looked at the base, and recognized that it was a palace thing three hundred years ago, although it was not as good as the treasures of the city, but it was also very valuable.
"The third uncle is too generous!" She sighed and didn't put it away, and when Jian Xubai came in with her long half-wet hair, Fang asked him, "The third uncle sent these, what should I do?" β
"Just keep it." Jian Xubai disagreed, "There are a lot of such things in the third uncle, if you like it, it's okay to ask him for a few next time." β
Seeing his understatement, Song Yixiao was relieved, and ordered someone to put it away and store it in the warehouse: "By the way, order some of the best medicinal materials inside, and send them to the third uncle tomorrow." β
Glancing at the sky again, he said to Jian Xubai, "The person my mother wants over there, will I tell the chief steward tomorrow?" β
"You're in charge of the backyard, you can just watch it." Jian Xubai shoved the handkerchief into her hand, "Give me a twist." β
Song Yi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, motioned for Jin Xun to retreat, and when he saw that the door was closed, he complained: "Didn't Ji Su serve you to bathe?" Why don't you ask him to help you dry it by the way? β
"And then make you lazy?" Jian Xubai will only wear a middle coat, loosely tied with a belt, revealing a strong chest, stained with a few strands of water dripping from the hair, like a jade carving under the lamplight. He glanced at his wife, the corners of his eyes were slightly red by the vapor, and Shao Xiu revealed a bit of enchantment, and sneered, "Why? β
"......" Song Yi twisted his hair with a smile and hatred, "When I didn't ask!" β
touched his black hair, which was covered with a couch, and saw that it was dry, so she frowned and said, "Tomorrow I want to go to Sikong's house to mourn." β
"It's okay to offer condolences, but don't delay too long." Jian Xubai pulled out the quilt, lay down, and said, "I don't have time tomorrow, you can only go alone." β
Song Yixiao looked at where he was lying, and said slowly: "I am not familiar with the rest of the Sikong family, and I am just remembering Sikong's sister." β
Carrying the corner of her skirt and stepping onto the couch, she took the opportunity to climb over him into the couch, pretending to be careless, and stepped on his leg hard - who knew that before she could exert her strength, her ankle had been clasped by a slender and white hand, and she pulled it suddenly, she suddenly screamed and fell into Jian Xubai's arms!
"I know you're restless!" Jian Xubai turned his arm, pressed her the couch, and sneered, "It seems that it is necessary for me to teach you how to be a truly virtuous wife!" β
Saying that, he bowed his head and kissed her lips heavily - but the smell of blood he tasted in an instant made him let go of his wife in confusion, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Song Yixiao's mouth slightly open, and the ruddy lips had to be looked carefully to distinguish that the lower lip was swollen, and the place inside, which was slowly oozing blood.
"I heard the bad news of Sister Sikong in the Qingxi Palace, and I was afraid that I would lose my honor in public, so I bit my lip." Song Yixiao also caught a glimpse of the little blood stain on his lips, and immediately understood, "After leaving the palace, Aunt Yuguo reminded me to wipe it clean, and I don't want the wound to be healed." β
"Seeing blood, how can it be so fast?" Jian Xubai's tone was bad, but he didn't continue, but got up and left the couch, rummaged through the nearby cabinet for a while, found a box of ointment, sat back on the couch, and said lukewarmly, "Come here!" β
Song Yixiao moved to the edge of the couch and stretched out his hand: "I'll come by myself!" β
"The injury is on the lips, I have kissed it all, what is there to be embarrassed about?" Jian Xubai sneered and opened the ointment, dipped his fingertips in it, and was about to apply it to her.
"I'm afraid you'll take the opportunity to retaliate!" Song Yixiao still turned his head to dodge, and said vigilantly, "I just wanted to step on you!" β
Hearing this, Jian Xubai squinted his eyes, looked at her fixedly for a while, and seemed to smile: "You guessed right!" β
He easily held down Song Yixiao, who wanted to escape into the couch with one hand, and shook his hand dipped in ointment in front of her, smiling ill-intentionedly, "If you move around, I'll wipe it casually, who knows where to wipe it, right?" β
Song Yixiao, who was struggling, almost vomited blood, weighed it again and again, and had to stop stupidly: "I'm going out tomorrow, don't go too far!" β
As she spoke, Jian Xubai's fingertips had brushed the wound on her lips, and the ointment was applied, and there was a sharp pain - she frowned and endured it, and after a while, the wound finally stopped hurting, only a piece of coolness remained - but saw that Jian Xubai had put away the ointment, put it on the pillow, lifted up his robe again, and stepped into the couch and lay down.
"From now on, you will sleep outside." Seeing his wife looking at him for unknown reasons, he smiled and announced, "Lest I have to get up early and you don't know and delay serving me!" β
Song Yi smiled: "..................! β
β¦β¦ The next morning, Jian Xubai really did this, and when he got up, he first woke up his wife and forced her to dress herself before calling someone to serve.
What made Song Yi laugh the most was that in front of his subordinates, this guy obviously admired her reluctant appearance with happy eyes, but he said with fake thoughtfulness: "I said everything, just let them serve, you can sleep again, why get up with me?" β
Looking at Jinxun and their faces full of "Grandpa treats grandma so well", Song Yixiao silently swallowed a mouthful of blood.
Finally sent him out of the door, seeing that the sky was already bright, Song Yi smiled and rubbed his forehead, ordered someone to invite the chief steward, and conveyed the request of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to him, seeing that he was really relieved, he didn't bother to say, waved him down to do things - and then picked out a plain dress, changed out of the original bright outfit, and went to Sikong Mansion to mourn.
Although Sikong Yiluo is the pearl of the Sikong family, and she was promised to King Liang, in the end, she is a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, and her grandmother and parents are all there, and her future affairs cannot be done. Therefore, although there are more carriages and horses in front of Sikong Mansion than usual, it is not lively.
After Song Yi smiled and entered the second gate, she was greeted by Sikong Yiluo's sister-in-law Chang, and after a little greeting, she confessed: "Grandmother and mother are too sad to see guests, please forgive me!" β
"I was bothering." Song Yi smiled and hurriedly said, "How dare you disturb the elders?" β
"Please go this way!" Chang Shi stretched out his hand to greet the guest, "My sister is young, and the mourning hall is not good to be located in the main hall, and it is a little far away." β
The two of them felt sorry for Sikong Yiluo while walking, and when they arrived at the door of a moon cave, they were about to enter, but a girl in Mai walked out of the door first, with a beautiful face, but there was a lot of anger between the eyebrows, it was the girl in front of the Madong Palace the day before.
She caught a glimpse of Chang and Song Yixiao, bent down and called "sister-in-law", and asked, "Is this my sister's friend before her death?" β
Chang frowned slightly, as if he had some scruples: "Little sister, why did you come out?" He smiled at Song Yi and said, "This is the clumsy husband's younger sister Yihan, who has been raised on the Zhuangzi outside the city for many years because of her physical discomfort, so you didn't see it when you came back to our house." β
Only then did he answer Sikong Yihan's question, "This is Grandma Song, the wife of Yan Guogong, the eldest sister's close friend, and I am here to mourn her." β
"She still has the face to mourn her sister?" Who knew that as soon as Sikong Yihan heard this, his face sank, and he sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that she helped the slut surnamed Wei to prove it yesterday......"
"Shut up!" Chang's knew early in the morning that this sister-in-law was unreliable, and her eyelids would jump when she heard it, how dare she finish her words? didn't care that the mourning hall was not far away, so he hurriedly shouted and interrupted, "Grandmother has an order, and you are thinking behind closed doors these days!" It's okay for you to run out, and what are you talking to the distinguished guests? I know that you are sad that your eldest sister has passed away, but you can't be so crazy! β
Speaking of which, seeing that Sikong Yihan was about to refute, he was so frightened that he hurried to the left and right, "Pull it down!" If you dare to say another word, you will gag me! β
