Chapter 243: Waiting or Not Waiting, It's All Despair
Jian Xubai was quickly invited over by Jin Xun, Song Yi smiled and saw him enter the door, so he let the left and right go down, and then handed the brocade box to her husband and said in a low voice: "This is what Xu Ming just left, saying that it is part of the concubine's makeup." β
"What did he give you this?" Jian Xubai knew the whole story, just to pretend not to know what his mother-in-law did, so he pretended to be surprised, "Could it be that there is something to entrust you with?" β
"That's what I thought too!" Song Yixiao was worried about how to convince her husband, and when she heard the words, she had an idea, and pushed the boat down the river, "He said that he said, because the concubine regarded me as if she were her own before her death, and she personally said that after a hundred years, she would also share my share of the makeup, and King Hengshan sent it over by his order-but you also know that although the concubine did not treat me very harshly, she has always been estranged from me, how can she leave such words?" So, I guess is this a cover? β
Jian Xubai muttered: "Disguise? β
"I guess this box, what King Hengshan really wants to give is actually Lu Sangongzi and Sister Yuan." Song Yi smiled and said his "inference": "It's just that the third prince of Lu has been passed on to Zhaodehou - although Zhaodehou is the heir of the old Hengshan King, he is not from the concubine, and his heir is not qualified to share the concubine's makeup." But Lu Sangongzi is the grandson of the concubine in terms of blood, and the concubine liked him the most when he was alive, but now that the concubine is gone, he won't even give him a thought object, which is really embarrassing! β
"So, you plan to give this box to Lu Guanlun and his wife?" Jian Xubai understood what she meant, thought for a while and said, "It's nothing, no matter what Uncle Hengshan means, our family is not short of this thing." However, since Lu Guanlun succeeded to Zhaodehou, he has moved out of the palace and lived in Zhuangzi outside the city. In the end, it is the concubine's thing, it is inconvenient for you to send it over in person, and it is not solemn to send someone to it, it is better to let Xue Pei hand it over, he is Lu Guanlun's brother-in-law, and he is the grandson of the concubine, so it is nothing to send someone to run errands. β
The reason why Lu Guanlun and his wife went outside the city was because Lu Guanlun was sad about the death of the concubine and grieved excessively, and was proposed by the imperial doctor to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and Yuan Xuexu naturally wanted to accompany her husband.
Song Yixiao didn't know how to face these two people yet, and when she heard this, she bowed her head: "I'll go to the Marquis Boling Mansion tomorrow." β
Although it is said that Yuan Xuecao has been out of the cabinet and is no longer in the Hou Mansion, everyone in the world knows that Jian Xubai and Yuan Xuepei have a good relationship, and Yuan Xuepei is a wasted person.
This matter was settled, Jian Xubai asked his wife if there was anything else, and went back to the study to deal with official business - this evening, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom sent Jia Yue a big bowl of longevity noodles, and the husband and wife ate it separately, and Jian Xubai's birthday this year was over.
- On the ninth day of the second lunar month, Song Yixiao laughed at her birthday because she had an accident with King Yi, so she brought a salted crispy chicken when she was in vain, and she didn't feel anything at that time; This will see that her husband's birthday has passed so coldly, but her heart is quite unpleasant.
Although she also knew that Jian Xubai had been clothed and fed since she was a child, and there was no lack of grandeur on her birthday, she always felt as if she had wronged him.
"Probably this is the love of the day, right?" Thinking of the occasional mention of the birthdays of the two in the first month, Jian Xubai insisted on giving her a big deal - Song Yixiao was a little sweet and a little laughed secretly, "When I got married, I don't want me to worry about his birthday, I must be happy to save trouble!" β
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and bite her husband lightly on the shoulder.
Jian Xubai, who was asleep, did not wake up, but instinctively hugged his wife's waist.
The next day, she got up an hour later than her husband as usual, and after taking care of some housework, she saw that the hour was almost up, and then ordered someone to prepare a car and go to the Marquis of Boling's mansion.
Yuan Xuepei was very puzzled by her arrival, and after listening to her intentions, he was noncommittal, and only said, "I wonder if the brocade box can be shown to me?" β
"Naturally." Song Yixiao knew that he regarded Yuan Xuecao as a pearl in his palm, and he said that this brocade box was to be given to Lu Guanlun and his wife, Yuan Xuepei would never make up his mind, but he still emphasized it when he handed it over, "This is the property of the princess of Hengshan, I shouldn't have taken it!" β
The implication is to remind Yuan Xuepei: The things are nominally given to Lu Guanlun and his wife, mainly for Lu Guanlun, but don't take it to Yuan Xuecao to make private money!
It's not that she wants to help Lu Guanlun guard against Yuan Xuecao, it's just that Lu Guanlun's succession was caused by her, even if it was out of good intentions, but because of this, this was obviously the concubine's favorite grandson before her death, but after the concubine left, she didn't even have the qualifications to inherit her grandmother's dowry - now this one, of course, the person she hopes to get is Lu Guanlun, not Yuan Xuecao.
"If all the contents of this box are converted into silver, it will add up to more than fifty thousand taels." Yuan Xuepei heard the meaning of her words, laughed, opened the box, took out the thick stack of deed books inside, and after reading them all, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "Are you sure you don't want to stay by yourself?" β
Song Yi smiled and said this, and was also a little surprised by King Hengshan's generosity, you must know that when she came out of the cabinet, the makeup was full, and it was only about 10,000 taels of silver!
Since leaving the cabinet, the assets that Jian Xubai handed over to her to take care of, including the Yanguo Mansion, are only worth two or three hundred thousand taels.
She originally thought that no matter how high the hush money given by King Hengshan was, it would be only a few thousand taels - she didn't expect it to be ten times as much!
It's just that although this amount is far beyond Song Yixiao's expectations, she still shook her head: "This is the concubine's thing, and you know that the concubine doesn't like me very much." King Hengshan handed it over to me, and the intention must be for Lu Sangongzi and not for me. It's just that Lu Sangongzi and Sister Yuan are not in the city, I can't get out of my body and send them to them, so I can only entrust you! β
"You just coax Ah Xu, coax me?" Yuan Xuepei smiled sarcastically when he heard this, and said, "Don't you know the truth about my grandmother's death?" This box is clearly a compensation given to you by Uncle Wang's grandmother, but you said it was for Guanlun - I said something offensive: I really don't know how a person like Uncle Wei can have a kind daughter like you? β
Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a light smile: "It's okay for others to say that I am kind, you just discussed Zhiqin's marriage with me not long ago, will you actually say that I am kind?" β
- Yuan Xuepei wants to turn the war with her into a jade silk, isn't it just a means to be afraid of her to clean up Cui Jianlian and others?
"If I don't think you're kind to Miss Zhiqin, why would I go to the trouble of finding a suitable candidate for Miss Zhiqin?" Yuan Xuepei smiled peacefully and said, "I regret why I didn't give you some favors when you sent someone under the fence?" Otherwise, I will be rewarded by your fountain today. β
"I'd rather not be able to repay Lu Sangongzi for the rest of my life?" Song Yixiao heard this, but smiled slightly, and said lightly, "After all, no matter the identity of Hou Ye or Lu Sangongzi, it is not a good thing when you need me to repay you!" β
Seeing this, Yuan Xuepei changed the topic with interest and said, "Two days ago, I occasionally heard that Miss Jiang was sick, and the Jiang family's original plan to marry her had to be shelved-"
"Didn't you say that you had no intention of Sister Jiang?" Song Yixiao asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Please don't get me wrong, Madame!" Yuan Xuepei said gently, "It's just that Madame doesn't know: on the day Xuecao left the pavilion, after I negotiated with Madame, Miss Jiang turned back and said something. I didn't quite know what she meant by those words at the time, but now I heard that there was a delay in her marriage, but I was afraid that it had something to do with meβbut Xue Cao was out of the cabinet and was not in the city, so I wanted to persuade Miss Jiang not to waste her youth for me, a wasted person, but I couldn't find a suitable person to talk to. It just so happened that Mrs. came today to ask Mrs. for a favor! β
Song Yixiao was slightly surprised: "Sister Jiang turned back that day?" But I remember that after I was still at the table, Sister Jiang did go back after a while, but she was in a very good mood, as if she had met something good? β
"A good thing?" Yuan Xuepei seemed to think of something, and frowned slightly, "She shouldn't have misunderstood, right?" β
Song Yi smiled and hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" β
Yuan Xuepei described the conversation between the two at that time, pinched his eyebrows, and said with some distress: "Miss Jiang hurriedly interrupted me and left, I was not good at doing it, and it was not easy to catch up with her after she finished speaking-but I think with Miss Jiang's intelligence, it is not difficult to understand what I really mean, there is no fate between us!" β
"......" But as soon as you admit to Jiang Muyao, "It's a blessing in life to be able to have her as a wife", even if I know that you are just polite words, can Jiang Muyao still listen to the "but" in the back?!
Song Yi smiled and sighed, and said, "I will go to Jiang's mansion to deliver the post tomorrow and tomorrow, speaking of which, a few days after I went back that day, Sister Jiang's sister-in-law Grandma Zhuge also looked for me for her, and at that time also said that she asked me to help persuade Sister Jiang, I don't want this delay to be delayed until now, and I haven't fulfilled my promise." β
The two men and women are different, and the relationship is not good or bad, so when it comes to seeing each other here, there is nothing else to do, so they disperse.
After Song Yixiao returned to the Yanguo Mansion, she summoned Qiao Qin to her, planning to go to the Jiang Mansion to post a post, but the door reported that Wei Yinlian had come to visit.
"Please!" Song Yixiao was quite surprised when she received the news, since Sikong Yiluo passed away, Wei Yinlian has been greatly stimulated, not to mention the great change in temperament, but it is far less active than before, not to mention that he often visits the door, and he suddenly came here today, most of the time, what is the matter?
Sure enough, she went to the second gate to welcome Wei Yinlian to the back hall, and after sitting down, the people below served tea, and after greeting the meeting, Wei Yinlian said: "I came today to be entrusted by Mu Yao." β
Song Yixiao looked left and right, and after everyone had withdrawn, he asked: "I just learned that Sister Jiang is sick, and I am planning to send someone to visit Jiang's mansion, whether it is convenient or not to visitβbut I don't know what Sister Jiang commands?" β
"I'm glad I'm here." Wei Yinlian was much thinner than before, and his beautiful eyebrows were also a little gloomy, and he said softly, "Otherwise, your people will have to run for nothing: Mu Yao is going to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate today, and no one knows when he will come back!" β
Song Yixiao was secretly taken aback, and said, "What is Sister Jiang's disease?" Does it matter? β
"Naturally, it's a heart disease!" Wei Yinlian showed a wistful smile and said bluntly, "The Jiang family suspects that she admires the Marquis of Boling, and you are also responsible, so she is not allowed to greet you before leavingβof course, don't hate them, they are also for Mu Yao's good." β
"I know." Song Yi smiled, "This is human nature, in fact, I am not very optimistic about Sister Jiang and Boling Hou." β
"Although her family didn't guard against me, when I went to see Mu Yao, she didn't find anything to write to, so she could only ask me to bring a message, please tell the Marquis of Boling." When Wei Yinlian said this, seeing Song Yi's smile and refusal, he hurriedly said, "I also thought it was bad to do this at first, the political differences between the Marquis of Boling and the Jiang family and not mentioning it, just talking about his legs, I don't want Mu Yao to be dragged down by him in the future!" But ......"
Wei Yinlian's eyes were filled with mist, she lowered her eyelashes to hide her emotions, only then did she reveal a miserable smile and muttered, "But it was as if I knew that I would never be able to marry Second Prince Su, and after hearing that Second Prince Su and Lord Yiwang were married, I couldn't help but hide in the room and cry all day!" β
She couldn't hold back after all, a drop of tears fell on the light concubine-colored sleeves, dyed a shocking blood red, "What's more, Mu Yao is right: Marquis Boling is not married, and I haven't heard of him Zhang Luo's own marriage recently, so Mu Yao will find an excuse to press her own marriage, if the prince wins in the future, as long as she convinces her family, there is still hope to get her wish after all!" β
"And I, no matter if it is the crown prince or King Zhao who wins in the end, it is impossible for me and the second son of Su to win!"
The blood red on Wei Yinlian's sleeves gradually expanded, but the flower of love in her heart that had not yet bloomed had withered, and she choked up, "So help her!" Even if she regrets it in the future, at least for now, she is willing to wait for Bo Linghou! β
The girl raised her teary eyes and looked at Song Yi with a pleading smile, "At least, she has hope of waiting until the day when the peak turns around; Unlike me, waiting or not waiting, it's all despair! β
- She is the sister of the crown princess and the aunt of the king of Zhongling; Su Shaoge is the queen's nephew and the cousin of King Zhao. In the future, if the crown prince wins, it is impossible for the Su family to have a good result; If the prince is defeated, how can the Yue Jiawei family end well?
Yes, Jiang Muyao can also bet on Youth Shaohua to gamble; She could only silently bear the pain of love, and watched that the talented and good-looking man belonged to others, and from beginning to end, the relationship with herself was only one sentence "It turned out to be Brother Wei's sister".
"......" Song Yixiao was silent for a long time before he sighed and closed his eyes, "Okay!" β
