The main hall burned incense, and Song Yi, who was wearing strict makeup and fine clothes, knelt down under the hall with a smile.

After listening to the official reading the edict of the four and sixth, after kowtowing and thanking him, he raised his hands above his head, caught the jade axis Yunluan Jin's edict, got up with the support of the left and right, and was about to say a few words to the ceremonial officer, but the ceremonial official had already bowed his hand, and said indifferently: "The lower official still has official business, farewell!" ”

"Walk slowly!" Song Yixiao looked at this situation, obviously didn't want to get close to the Yanguo Mansion - probably Qiu Shuxia's henchman - and didn't bother to be perfunctory, nodded reservedly, watched him cross the threshold, and handed over the Yi Zhi to Jin Xun, "Go and receive a piece of the Yi Zhi who was given the marriage by the Queen Mother!" ”

"Slave and maid, congratulations to Madame!" After Jin Xun took it, he didn't hurry to leave, but came up with the people present to congratulate her, and then held the two ends of the jade shaft with both hands and went down happily.

——From now on, the one they are serving is a serious order, a first-class Mrs. Yanguo!

For such a great event, it is naturally not enough to congratulate at the place where the order is received.

After Song Yixiao returned to the back hall, the subordinates with heads and faces deliberately gathered and took turns to kowtow and salute, congratulating her on finally becoming the rightful hostess of the Guogong Mansion.

"We're going to get some cash from the shop." After Jin Xun handed out the last reward, seeing that there was no one waiting outside, Fang covered the door and smiled with Song Yi, "The cash you will bring when you pass the door is almost finished today!" ”

"Tell someone to set the table." This was originally a happy event, but Song Yixiao was in a bad mood now, and she was still smiling in front of people, and she didn't bother to pretend when her henchmen were present, so she only said lightly, "After eating, send someone to the Apricot Pavilion to see, what news is there to report to me-Also, what happened like that last night, what is the explanation for the outside world in the house now?" ”

Jin Xun went out to call someone to set up the meal, waited for her to run out, and asked the moon lantern to visit the apricot pavilion, served a fragrant tea, looked at Song Yi and smiled, before saying: "Grandpa went out in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." However, before leaving, I left a message, saying that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and this matter had to be discussed with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the concubine, and then we would talk about it after unifying the caliber. Before that, Hefu must guard the door and not reveal a word! ”

Song Yixiao thought to herself, I don't know how many people died last night, and the neighbors are not blind and deaf, how can they not hear the wind at all? This so-called blockade of news is just a show.

So I was worried, "I was held hostage for a while last night, and I don't know if there will be any unfavorable comments about me?" ”

She pondered for a while and said, "I don't see that there are many people who came to congratulate me just now, and most of them are married with me." Others ......? ”

"The slave doesn't know." When Jin Xun heard this, his eyes suddenly disappeared with joy, revealing a touch of fear, and he bowed his head and said, "It seems that last night my grandfather said that he would thoroughly investigate the remnants of the chief steward, and took many people to the side courtyard." Maybe now it's still in custody? ”

Song Yixiao didn't say anything more, only said, "Hasn't the moon lantern come back yet?" ”

It didn't take long for the moon lantern to come back, and her face was a little worried: "Miss Cousin's wind chill seems to be a little serious, when the slave maid went, the doctor who diagnosed your pulse for Mrs. yesterday was there, and said that Miss Cousin may not get better for a while, let alone for ten days and half a month!" ”

He also said, "Everyone else is fine, Sister Qiaoqin and Sister Liyu can get up, but they still have a little headache, and they will come to ask Mrs. An Daoxi after a while!" ”

"Tell them to go back to their rooms and rest for two days." Song Yixiao shook his head and said, "Please An and Daoxi are not in a hurry - Cousin Chan has to add a few more people, otherwise it will be a Su Die, and now I am afraid that I will also have a headache, and I may not take good care of myself, where can I serve patients well?" ”

Knowing that the house is now scarce, he called Jinxun, "You go to Mother Zhao's house immediately, and ask Mother Zhao to recommend a few school-age girls from my marriage to help!" ”

Although this kind of girl who has not been trained must be uneasy to use when she first enters the house to be a maid. But at the moment, there is no one to call the Jiangxing Pavilion at all, and in the end it can solve the urgent need - not to mention that the marriage is no longer sensible, because her net worth and life are pinched in her hands, and she is more reliable than the person who bought it in a hurry.

Jin Xun hesitated when he heard this, and then answered vaguely.

Song Yixiao asked Yuelan again: "Is Cousin Chan's condition serious?" Is there any medicine that is difficult to match? Are you awake now? ”

"According to the doctor's statement, it's not serious, but it's not good for life and recuperation, and I'm afraid that it will leave future troubles, and the medicinal materials used are also common, and we can have all the inventory in our house." When Yuelan said this, she quietly glanced at Jinxun before she said, "Miss Biao doesn't seem to be awake yet." ”

Song Yixiao didn't say anything more, only waved her hand to let her down, leaving Jinxun alone in front of her, before frowning and asking, "You told Yuelan that you don't like Cousin Chan?" Otherwise, why did she say that her cousin didn't seem to be awake yet—didn't she just hope that I wouldn't go to the Apricot Pavilion to see her? ”

"But Madame, you were injured last night because of her!" Jin Xun's intentions were exposed, and he was both frightened and aggrieved, "I was forced to go to the front hall to receive the order, since Miss Biao invited a doctor, and you don't know how to be ambiguous, why do you have to go to see it?" It's such a long way, what if the wind blows on your road and you get cold? ”

"It's because of last night's incident that I have to go!" Song Yi smiled and sighed, patient. Zi said, "Otherwise, my cousin may not be afraid of what to become!" You don't want to think about it, she came to our house alone, if there are three long and two short, how can I explain to the Wei family? Even if the Wei family didn't dare to say anything to me and spread it, what would the outside think? You think you're thinking about me wholeheartedly, but look at what you've done! ”

Jin Xun was about to argue, but there was a voice in the court, but it was Jian Xubai who was ordering Ji Su - the two masters and servants in the hall subconsciously stopped.

After a while, Jian Xubai walked in alone and said, "I just heard from Menzi that your edict has been sealed?" ”

"It's down." Song Yixiao replied lightly, made a look at Jin Xun, and asked, "You came back from your father's mother?" How's it going? ”

Jian Xubai walked to the top of the case with her and sat down, turned over the tea set on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Father and mother mean to press down, and the horizontal and vertical are just some subordinates, and it will be all over the city, and it will not be good for us - so as not to dilute the joy of the third brother's good deeds!" ”

"Your third brother is afraid that he will be angry with you to death, how can there be any joy?" Song Yixiao sneered in her heart, and said, "I know." But now there are so many people in the house at once, and when there are many things at the end of the year, it is troublesome! ”

"I have ready-made manpower in the front yard." Jian Xubai put down the tea bowl and raised his eyes, "Most of them were the personal guards I received when I went out on the expedition, and now the four borders are peaceful and there is no war in the country, so they will all be disarmed and return to the field, and they are idle, but they can't come to our house to do things; There are also some people who were gathered in Wuhuan, for various reasons, it will take two days to arrive in the imperial capital, but it is just in time for the vacancy - you can only think of a way in the backyard! ”

Song Yixiao wanted his last sentence, but still said: "I always thought that I would have to think about this matter after the New Year, and I was not ready here." I'm afraid it will take a few days to get the manpower - and it won't take a day or two to train the maids, and the backyard will probably be noisy for a while. ”

Jian said in a humble way: "These are nothing, we don't live with the elders, and it's just the two of us who are noisy and noisy, and it's over." ”

This matter was settled, and Song Yixiao thought about calling Zhao's mother back to the house immediately to discuss - before You Hong only fined the silver and did not suffer because of the care of Jingzhao Mansion. But You Qingchun and returned home with his son after leaving, but because he was not accepted by his brother and sister-in-law, he had to ask Zhao's mother to intercede and avoid entering the Yanguo Mansion, which made You Hong and his wife very angry!

You Hong beat his son hard for this, but his daughter-in-law was not easy to mess with, shouting that "the old man only cares about his daughter and grandson, and doesn't care about his son and grandson", and he was hanging and jumping into the river, which alarmed his mother's family to send many people to You's house to question, so that the neighbors watched a lot of fun!

After Song Yixiao found out, she gave Zhao's mother a holiday and asked her to take care of the family thoroughly before coming back.

…… Of course, she did this, in addition to sympathizing with the nursing mother, but also because she was afraid that Zhao's mother would mention to her again, "The princess gave you the help incense in the secret box".

But now that there is an accident, it is obviously not possible not to recall Zhao's mother as an assistant.

After Song Yixiao thought about it, he was about to call people, but Ji Su walked in outside the door, it was rare that he didn't take the dust in his hand today, but instead carried a bird stand, and there was a red-billed parrot with green feathers resting on the shelf, colorful, with smooth feathers, and black eyes looking forward to being extremely attentive - listening to Ji Su bowing down and saying, "The little one asks for greetings to grandpa and wife!" ”

The parrot immediately opened its mouth, like a little girl's voice, and said, "Good luck! Good luck! ”

This made Song Yi smile slightly, and Jian Xubai chuckled, signaling Ji Su to hand over the bird rack, and personally put it on the case between the two, and said: "When I went to my mother's place, I saw that someone gave my mother a wren, which was weird and clever, and sang a little song, which made my mother laugh together. ”

He pointed to the parrot that was still shouting "auspicious, wishful" and said, "Although this is not as good as the wren brother in my mother's place, it should be no worse if you continue to teach, and the feathers are beautiful, but it is much better than that wren brother!" ”

Song Yixiao knew that he was doing this to compensate and appease, and he didn't know what it was like, so he was silent for a while, and finally reached out his finger and touched the parrot's little head under his expectant gaze - the parrot pecked her finger very obediently, and said, "Beauty!" Beauty! ”

"Madame, you see, this little thing has eyesight!" Ji Su glanced at the husband and wife, and had the courage to mediate, "When I was in the city, my grandfather paid the bill, let it be cleaned up and sent over." The little one picked it up in front of the door, and carried it all the way in, and it said a lot, but it didn't say a word of 'beauty'! The small one thought it wouldn't be this sentence.,Co-author is a small appearance that can't deceive it! Now that I see you, Mrs., I am willing to open this voice! ”

Although Song Yixiao was suspicious, she was not stupid enough to tear her face with Jian Xubai, and when she heard the words, she said: "It's strange and interesting, but I don't know if it's difficult to raise?" ”

"It's not hard to raise! It's not hard to raise at all! Just give food and drink! Ji Su hurriedly said, "Besides, it's hard to raise, and I can't let you worry about it!" ”

Through the topic of parrots, the atmosphere was finally relaxed, Jian modestly stroked the tea bowl, turned his head sideways and said to his wife: "Sister Yi is going to leave tomorrow, if you are injured, don't send it, if you have something to say to her, why don't you write a letter to me, I will bring it to her for you?" ”

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that several days had passed since Pei Yourui begged to come to the door, and since the Pei family wanted to leave the imperial capital before Princess Changxing descended, it was really not good to drag it out any longer.

She actually didn't have much friendship with Pei Yourui, and after listening to Jian Xubai's words, she didn't know how to answer for a while, and she said after a while: "It is said that Jiangnan is prosperous, but Sister Wangyi ......"

"They are not going south, they are going north." Jian Xubai shook his head, "My mother easily persuaded Jin Suke, but Scholar Pei refused to go to Jiangnan, saying that he missed Sangzi and must take his sister back to Youzhou!" ”

Song Yi pursed his lips with a smile, looked at the floor tiles not far away and said, "That...... The Pei family's boxes, the silver tickets that are sold now, bring them to the righteous sister first, right? ”

"It's fine." Jian Xu's head was white, and what else to say, but Jin Xun, who had retired before, came in again and said: "The Queen Mother sent an aunt to visit Madame, and now she is on her way over!" ”
