When Cui Miao left, his face was already clearly wrong, and Jin Xun could see that although he didn't have any city government.

When he returned to the back hall to restore his life, he deliberately mentioned it to Song Yixiao: "Originally, everything was fine, but it was all because of Yu Shiheng, but when they were about to leave, they went back to the house, and called the slave and maid - although the slave and maid didn't dare to pay attention to him, but Cui Miao didn't look very good with his expression, and I don't know if Fan Zhong saw it?" ”

"If you can see it, you can see it." Song Yi also felt very disappointed when she heard this, and said happily, "Life is lived by yourself, if Cui Miao wants to understand this truth, it will be in vain for me to worry about her!" ”

Speaking of this, he was thoughtful, but asked, "Then what did Yu Shiheng call you for?" ”

"The slave and maid were talking to Cui Miao, and he happened to hit the horse and go back to the house, and when he saw the slave and maid, he called out to the girl." Jin Xun didn't care, "After all, the slave is the proud person in front of you, isn't it?" Can he not please him? ”

Song Yixiao was laughed at by her: "You are still the proud person in front of me!" Don't embarrass me! Look at Qiaoqin's steady appearance, that is the right-hand man who reassures me! ”

Jin Xun was not ashamed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "But everyone knows that Mrs. loves slaves and maids!" ”

What she said made sense, Song Yixiao was speechless, only waved her hand with a smile and sent her down.

After Jian Xubai came back that evening, Song Yixiao told him about Cui Yi and his wife coming to ask for peace, and also mentioned that they met Yu Shiheng at the door when they left: "I sent them with Jin Xun, Jin Xun said, Cui Yi saw Yu Shiheng greeting her, and she seemed a little displeased!" ”

"Twisted melons are not sweet." Cui Xuan has served Jian Xubai for many years, although Jian Xubai has no love for her, but also has some righteousness of master and servant - but this bit of affection is limited - he will be worried about his wife's body, as soon as he heard this, he thought that Song Yixiao was almost killed by his mother, it was when it was uncomfortable, but Cui Miao had to block her, and she couldn't help but feel that this maid was really ignorant, "If she can't figure it out, forget it, Heng Zhi has already been matched, and let Fan Zhong have a headache!" ”

Song Yi laughed and said with a smile: "What you said, I don't know that I think you are trying to cheat Fan Zhong!" ”

However, seeing that her husband was not interested in Cui Yi's affairs at all, she didn't say much, but said: "Ming'er is your birthday, although there is no banquet at home, my mother wants to send longevity noodles over." If you don't have anything urgent, why don't you come back early? ”

"Then I'll go to leave in the afternoon." Jian Xubai thought of the mountains of official letters on the desk, and the words of rejection were already on his lips, but when he saw her say this, he couldn't help but go around Gong Suizi - this inadvertently revealed a nervous little action, which made his heart soften, and he subconsciously agreed.

When Song Yixiao was born, he rushed to celebrate the death of King Yi, so he bought a bag of salted crispy chicken and came back.

Now that it's his turn, Song Yixiao can't hold a banquet for him because his body is not well, and he regrets it in his heart.

Jian Xubai couldn't help but feel that it was better to spend time with his wife for half a day, lest she want to think about it.

It was only at noon the next day that when he returned home, he was surprised to see that the round table of luodian marble in the hall was full of dazzling dishes.

Song Yixiao, who had just returned to the inner room to change her dress, was quite proud: "Try my craftsmanship before you go out of the pavilion, will you go in?" ”

"How do you guys do things?!" Who knew that Jian Xubai stared at the table with more than twenty dishes for a moment, but he didn't walk over to the table, but instead flew into the left and right, "I said that my lady is not in good health and needs to recuperate, and I actually let her cook so many dishes?!" ”

"I can go to Hengshan Palace, how can I be so weak?" Seeing this, Song Yixiao's face showed embarrassment, so she asked everyone to retreat, walked up to her husband, took the initiative to hold his arm, and said softly, "Besides, so many people are doing it, how can it really be so tired of me?" ”

Jian Xubai rarely coaxed her without asking her to say a word, and stood there motionless, letting her pull two handfuls towards the seat without moving, only looking at her coldly.

"......" Song Yi smiled again, seeing that her husband was still indifferent, the smile on her face suddenly stiffened, and her head lowered.

After a while, I didn't listen to her again, but I saw my shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was crying.

Jian Xubai struggled for a moment in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and take her into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Will you still take my words as a deaf ear next time?!" ”

Before the words fell, he thought that Song Yixiao, who was suppressing sobbing, suddenly threw himself into his arms, stretched out his arms to climb his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him the lips with lightning speed, and then let go, only holding his hand against his chest, raising his eyes and smiling brightly, the apricot eyes were full of pride, and he said with a bright look: "Take your words as a deaf ear, aren't you still reluctant to me?" ”

Jian Xubai: "......!!! ”

He was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "You're sure I'm good at talking, aren't you?" ”

"It's easy to talk to me!" Song Yixiao raised her hand to caress his cheek, her expression was sly, and her tone was firm, "So where can you blame me for being spoiled?" Isn't this all your spoil? Everyone knows that I used to be the most sensible and the least messy! ”

Looking at her with a straight face, "You have spoiled me, you must be responsible to the end", Jian Xubai didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, his mood was complicated for a moment, he simply rubbed her into his arms, leaned down and kissed her lips, and vented fiercely, before letting go of her hatefully: "Your previous cooking skills, that is, eating undead people!" If this doesn't grow, I won't give you face! ”

said that, after a while, looking at the cups and plates from ten to five or six, Song Yixiao put down her toothbrush, supported her hands with her hands, looked at her husband and didn't speak, just smiled - they and their husbands were raised by brocade clothes and jade food, even if they were men, their appetite was not very big, and they usually used seven or eight dishes, and each dish was only moved a few times, and when they were often withdrawn, they couldn't be seen from a distance.

There are about 20 dishes today, and according to the usual amount of food, one or two bites per dish is about the same.

But now it's only half of it all down - let's see what this man has to say?

Stared at by her blazing eyes, Jian Xubai took the tea with an expressionless face: "I have too many things to worry about in the yamen this morning, and I was hungry before noon." ”

So it's not that you're good at craft, it's not that I want to give you face, it's that I'm hungry, hungry, hungry! You know what?!

"Husband is really hard!" Song Yixiao couldn't help laughing, and nodded solemnly, "Husband has never used so many meals usually, and he looks hungry!" ”

She emphasized "usually" and "so much" in her bad heart, and the meaning of ridicule in it was self-evident, Jian Xubai heard it, and glared at her angrily - this will Qiaoqin and others are waiting left and right, but they are afraid that Song Yixiao will joke too much, and really dislike Jian Xubai, so he hurriedly said: "Since Grandpa won't return to the yamen later, why don't you go to the lake with your wife to take a walk to eat?" ”

Before the husband and wife could answer, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor, and after a while, the little maid hurriedly entered and said, "The relatives of the king of Hengshan followed Xu Ming to the door, and he wanted to see his wife!" ”

"Xu Ming?" Song Yixiao felt a little familiar when she heard this name, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that when Wei Mengying was pregnant with Lu Cui'er, the lord of the nine counties of Hengshan Wangfu, last year, she was rewarded by King Hengshan alone, and it was this Xu Ming who was ordered by King Hengshan at that time - it seems that she was King Hengshan's henchman.

The reason why this person came over, Song Yixiao also knew it in her heart: although she had lived in Hengshan Wangfu for a few years, no matter how down-and-out she was, she was a lady of the official family after all, and she was not a slave and maid bought back by the palace, and she had married to the Jian family as a wife, but she almost lost her life when she returned to the palace with good intentions.

"In the days when I couldn't get up while lying down, according to the people below, the Hengshan Royal Mansion had already sent a few things to their 'royal family'." She thought to herself, "But at that time, it was just to compensate Lan Hui, the culprit on the surface." Xu Ming came today, probably to clean up the aftermath for the concubine! ”

Song Yixiao thought of this, and felt that the princess of Hengshan was really sad, she fought with her stepdaughter-in-law for nearly ten years, and finally put her and her granddaughter's lives on the line, but she still fell short and fell into Wei Mengying's calculations, not only failed to keep Lu Guanlun's position as the prince, but also asked King Hengshan to worry about her posthumous name.

However, Song Yixiao is not very sympathetic to the princess of Hengshan - after all, the concubine's attitude towards Lu Qian'er, the granddaughter, is exactly the same as Wei Mengying's attitude towards her, her own daughter!

"Let's go to the flower hall and wait, I'll change my clothes and go over." Song Yixiao's heart turned back and forth, and she commanded, and asked her husband, "Are you going?" ”

Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "I just brought a few urgent items back, I have to deal with them quickly, and he didn't say to look for me, you can go and see what is going on!" ”

Song Yixiao was also afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to speak in the present, so when he heard that he cared about his body for a few words, he went into the inner room to change his clothes.

After a while, Jian Xubai had already gone to the front study, she tidied up her skirt, and then went to the flower hall - Xu Ming in the flower hall was indeed the person who had been photographed last year, and when she came in, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and finally got straight to the point: "Little Xu Ming, on the order of the prince, will hand over part of the dowager to Mrs. ”

"The concubine's makeup?" A flash of surprise flashed in Song Yixiao's eyes, she knew that the Hengshan Wangfu would definitely give her hush money, but she didn't expect that what she gave was the concubine's dowry - if the princess of Hengshan knew about it, she was afraid that she would not be able to live in anger?

Xu Ming saw her surprise, bowed, and said in a humble tone: "Exactly!" Mrs. Xu didn't know, the concubine Niangniang once said before her death that Mrs. grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was happy under the concubine's knees day and night, and in the eyes of the concubine, she was no different from her granddaughter. Yes, after a hundred years of the concubine, there must be a share of the makeup! The prince also knows this, and he will not go against the wishes of the concubine! ”

As he spoke, he took out a six-inch-long brocade box from his sleeve and held it above his head with both hands, "Yesterday, the prince has divided the bride's makeup with all the sons and young ladies according to the wishes of the concubine, and the lady is in the box, and the lady is invited to take a look!" ”

Song Yi looked at the brocade box with a smile, and his eyes were extremely complicated: King Hengshan's hand is clever, after all, it is related to the reputation of the concubine, and he can't take it if the hush money is less; If there are more, it is easy to fall traces, which leads to reverie. Simply pushed to the head of the princess of Hengshan, not only can the transfer of large assets cross the road, but also give the princess of Hengshan and the palace a reputation of "benevolence and generosity"!

Although he said that he did this, he took advantage of Song Yixiao, but considering that Song Yixiao had enjoyed the support of the palace for six years, and the current Princess Hengshan was a mother and daughter, this bit of face should be given.

What's more, Song Yixiao never thought of refusing.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I haven't repaid the kindness of being raised by the palace, and now I have been gifted by the concubine, but how embarrassed is it?" ”

"This is the wish of the concubine Niangniang before her death, and the prince will not dare to disobey it as a son of man, and he will ask his wife to fulfill it!" Xu Ming hurriedly knelt down - the two symbolically gave in, and Song Yixiao accepted it.

She did not immediately send Xu Ming to retire, but asked about the situation of the people in the palace with concern, and finally asked Jin Xun to take a pair of gold collars to reward him, and packed up some nourishing medicinal materials for the king of Hengshan and his wife, and then served tea to the guests.

After Xu Ming left, Song Yixiao rubbed the brocade box for a long time, but had no intention of opening it, but ordered Jinxun: "You go to the study to see, is your husband busy?" If you're not busy, ask him to come back to the back hall, I have something to discuss with him! ”
