109: It was a big gamble

The Song Mansion was not calm at this time, and the eldest lady in the east courtyard discussed important matters with her son and son-in-law, and wrote a letter to send to her husband.

The West Courtyard is the opposite, the Cai family took Song Qinghan to prepare the dowry, as if he wanted to gamble, the dowry prepared for Song Qinghan was very rich, Song Jinxuan was so angry that her eyes were red, but there was no way.

But Aunt Che was not in a hurry at all, she spread her speculation, and now it was confirmed that the biological mother of the concubine in the Wuxin Marquis Mansion had another one in her stomach, but the marriage had been agreed, and Song Qinghan, the eldest girl, had a bad reputation, and it would be more difficult to choose someone in the future if she regretted her marriage at this time.

Madame is knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood, and she wants to save face for marrying more big girls.

Song Jinxuan doesn't go out at all except for asking for peace every day, Cai's is in a bad mood, his father is not in Beijing, Yun Zhao has also become a noble Jieyu, and his wife can only pinch her to vent her anger.

Although Aunt Che is favored, it is useless if her father is not at home, but fortunately, their mother and daughter are very low-key and cautious, and they don't give Mrs. a handle, and their lives are barely smooth.

"When Daddy comes back, you tell him about my marriage, and when I get married, you don't have to spend your days so carefully and cautiously, Auntie." Song Jinxuan felt very sorry for her aunt.

She is a girl who grew up in the backyard, so she is naturally under the control of her wife, Song Yunzhao was still a daughter-in-law, and her father has always protected her, so she has to be wronged in front of her wife.

She is a concubine, but she has no confidence to go against her wife.

Only when she is married, and the lady has nothing to do with her aunt, her aunt's life is really good.

Aunt Che kept getting a needle and thread in her hand, pinched the tip of the needle and rubbed it between her hair, continued to fly the needle, and said in a slow voice: "The marriage of the daughter's family is a big deal, and the husband's family has to keep their eyes open to find it. I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about. You see, the three girls have now achieved Jieyu's position, and they may be able to go further next year, and then your marriage will be better said. My aunt doesn't want to be rich and rich, but she doesn't want you to marry and suffer hardships, so when the master comes back and carefully palms your palms, you can wait with peace of mind."

Song Jinxuan didn't have such patience, "I just think that my wife has been looking at me strangely recently, as if she is looking at objects. Auntie, I'm afraid that my wife will take advantage of my father's absence to marry me."

Aunt Che stopped the needlework in her hand, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm afraid you're worried, and I'm afraid I'm wrong. But when I went to say hello these two days, it was even stronger, so it may not be my delusion."

Aunt Che's face darkened suddenly, and she slapped her face on the table, "Don't worry, wait for me to check." If Madame is really uneasy, I will not sit idly by and watch her push you into the fire pit, and since Madame is so idle, let her be busy."

Song Qinghan has a lot of places to cheat people in this marriage, if Mrs. really calculates her Jinxuan, she will let Song Qinghan and the Marquis Wushun Mansion make a name for themselves in the capital, and when she is busy, she won't be able to take care of Jinxuan.

"I think you still have to talk back to the eldest lady about this." Song Jinxuan is very worried, now the eldest lady is in charge of all the major affairs in the house, if her aunt does something to make the eldest lady unhappy, it will not be good.

"I know." Aunt Che sighed, "It's good to wait for the master to come back."

The two families have already been separated, and the eldest lady rarely asks about the third room, but as Jieyu's weight in the palace becomes heavier and heavier, the eldest lady has now taken care of the affairs of the east and west courtyards.

Although the lady is displeased, the eldest lady is entrusted by the lord one by one, and the lady does not dare to fight with the eldest lady even if she is dissatisfied.

Whether it is the lord or Jieyu in the palace, they trust the eldest lady more, and the lady is now standing on the edge of the cliff but she doesn't know it, if it goes on like this, she doesn't need to do anything, she can fall on her own heels.

Aunt Che thought of this and collected the needle and thread, unfolded the finished little clothes and looked at them carefully, and nodded with satisfaction. This is made for the eldest girl's youngest son, when Song Guiyi was not married, it was the first of the Song family girls, and now her husband came to Beijing to take the exam, she took the opportunity to take the child to Ningning, and loved her granddaughter and grandson very much.

Aunt Che has always been a clever person, so she made one for each of the two children

I have been busy for five or six days, and today is considered to be good.

Wrapping up the two small clothes, Aunt Che got up, "I'll go to the eldest lady's side."

"Auntie, I'll go with you."

Aunt Che shook her head, "The two of us are too conspicuous, I'll go over quietly."

Song Jinxuan had to nod, "Then I'll go over tomorrow to talk to the eldest sister."

Aunt Che went out with her baggage and walked the path to the east courtyard.

Aunt Che came by coincidence, the eldest lady had just sent her son and son-in-law out of the door, and when she heard that Aunt Che was coming, she asked people to come in.

Aunt Che saluted as soon as she entered the door, "The concubine has seen the eldest lady."

The eldest lady knew that Song Yunzhao still had a bit of sisterhood for Song Jinxuan, so she was polite to Aunt Che, "Why did Aunt Che come over, but something happened?"

"The concubine made a dress for the cousin and the young master, the needlework is rough, and I ask the eldest lady to forgive me." Aunt Che said and put the burden on the table.

"You have a heart, sit down and talk." The eldest lady didn't expect Aunt Che to have this heart, and looked at her with a kind look.

Aunt Che thanked her, sat down on the brocade that the girl had brought her, leaned slightly sideways, and smiled, "Why didn't you see the eldest girl?"

"Talking to her sisters." The eldest lady said.

Aunt Che praised Zhong Runyi and Zhong Minxing a few more words, there is no one in the world who praises other people's children to make people happy, and the eldest lady is indeed in a mood to be coaxed by Aunt Che to be happy.

As she spoke, Aunt Che turned the conversation to Song Jinxuan, and then mentioned that Cai's mistakes in the past few days, she was full of sadness and helplessly spoke, "The concubine is very worried about the marriage of the second girl, and the lady has been very dislike the concubine all these years, so I am afraid that I will harm the second girl's lifelong event because of me." The concubines in this house don't know who to ask for, so they can only cheekily ask the eldest lady to help."

The eldest lady frowned slightly, "The third brother and sister are busy with Qinghan's marriage, but I'm afraid that I can't take care of Jinxuan now, and Aunt Che is too worried."

She said so, but thinking about Cai's temperament, I'm afraid that Aunt Che is not talking nonsense.

When the third brother went south, he asked himself to take care of the family, and she really couldn't ignore it.

"The concubine really hates that she can't think too much about herself." Aunt Che's face was full of bitterness.

"Now the third brother and sister haven't mentioned Jinxuan's marriage, if she mentions it, I will ask one or two at that time." The eldest lady said.

Aunt Che got up and thanked her immediately, she was relieved to have the eldest lady's words, and she didn't ask the eldest lady to really block the Cai family, as long as the eldest lady was willing to come forward, she would naturally do other things herself.

Madame is the first year of junior high school, don't blame her for being fifteen.

After Aunt Che left, the eldest lady called Zhao's mother and asked her to inquire about whether there was such a thing.

Mother Zhao hesitated when she heard this, and said softly, "Madam, there are indeed a few ladies in the West Courtyard who have come to visit recently, I don't know if it's for the second girl's marriage."

The eldest lady didn't look very good, "You go and find out what's going on."

If the Cai family really wants to find a bad marriage for Jinxuan, she has to come forward to stop it, and if she thinks about it, she will be angry, what is this called.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Song Guiyi came back with his little son in his arms, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother's tone not very good, and hurriedly asked.

Mother Zhao hurriedly took the young master over when she saw it, and said with a smile, "Big girl, I'll take the young master to the nurse."

Song Guiyi nodded in response, his son was a little sleepy, his little head was little by little, he was familiar with Mother Zhao and others these days, and now he didn't reject her hugging.

After Zhao's mother left, the eldest lady told her eldest daughter about Aunt Che.

Song Guiyi's thin long eyebrows frowned, she was not particularly outstanding, but her facial features were very attractive, and she helped her mother-in-law manage family affairs after getting married, and she also had a bit of majesty.

"Aunt Che also dares to ask for you, you are getting more and more lenient now." Song Guiyi felt sorry for her mother, "With such a temperament as the third aunt, you will have to be embarrassed when the time comes."

Hearing that her daughter felt sorry for herself, the eldest lady was very happy

ironed, and said softly: "Jieyu and Jinxuan have a good relationship, if the person she marries is not good, it will be Jieyu's face that will be lost. This time the matter between the son-in-law and your brother, Jieyu will take a lot of effort in the palace, and I will naturally share my worries about the family affairs for Jieyu, what is the hard work, as long as you are all well."

When Song Guiyi heard his mother's words, he raised his eyes and said softly, "Mother, my heart is full of ups and downs, is it really okay to make such a big fuss? What if this ......."

"Wealth is in danger, and our family has a favored Jieyu, so we can only move forward. But your father and third uncle's official positions are too low, not only can't help Jieyu, but I'm afraid that they will drag her back. Guiyi, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, we can't just think about taking benefits from Jieyu."

Song Guiyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Mother, what you said about it, am I that kind of person? I'm just worried that Jieyu will not be good for her if she is too popular."

The eldest lady glanced at her when she heard her daughter's words, "Since Yun Zhao entered the palace, she has been the only favor, and the third concubine still shared the emperor's favor equally, but now that your third sister is outstanding, do you really think it's just because Yun Zhao is beautiful and confusing?"

Song Guiyi had just arrived in Beijing, and he didn't know much about the affairs in Beijing, and when he heard his mother's words, he asked, "Isn't it?"

In her memory, when Yun Zhao was young a few years ago, a face was already quite beautiful.

So she was not surprised at all when she was favored after entering the palace.

"Of course not." The eldest lady taught her daughter seriously, "It has been five years since the emperor ascended the throne, and no prince has been born in the harem. After Yun Zhao was favored, he overwhelmed the third concubine, how could he have such a skill with just one face, the emperor was not the first emperor."

Song Guiyi's face also became heavy, "Mother means that the emperor is using Yun Zhao to suppress the third concubine and his family?"

The eldest lady was a little relieved, her daughter was able to understand a little, she bowed slightly, "It should be like this so far, when Yun Zhao was at home, in addition to facing your third aunt, when did you see her acting tough and domineering?" But after she entered the palace, she was a favorite, and under the favor, she had a reputation for being domineering and domineering, why do you think so?"

Song Guiyi's face changed and changed, and finally sighed, "You mean Yun caused an accident?"

"It can only be said that she sensed the emperor's mind and did things according to the emperor's wishes." The eldest lady smiled, "Otherwise, there are so many ladies who have entered the palace together, how can Yun Zhao come out?"

"But...... It's too sinister." Song Guiyi said with a pale face.

"You're right, it's because of this that the Song family was able to stand up as quickly as possible. Why did your third uncle go south for disaster relief? Why did your father marry Lirong to Jade City? Now that your son-in-law and your brother can't stay out of it, the leakage of exam questions this time is indeed very dangerous, but it is also a big opportunity."

Song Guiyi's heart was beating, and he couldn't hold back his expression for a while, "Mother, if this thing doesn't work out......

"How can you not do it with all your might? If you don't succeed, you have to do it!" The eldest lady said firmly, "I have written to your father, there are also many students in Yucheng who have come to take the exam this time, including the sons of local magnates. What's more, your father still has colleagues and classmates, in the same year, as long as the news is released, as long as there are candidates in the family, as long as Your Majesty wants to investigate to the end, this matter will definitely not be easily stopped."

Song Guiyi finally understood why her husband's expression was so solemn at this moment, it was indeed very dangerous, she experienced such a thing for the first time, she was afraid and hopeful, nervous and expectant.

"Mother...... Song Guiyi's heart beat a little hard, "If things can really be done, my brother and husband will make a great contribution."

The eldest lady bowed slightly, "There are thousands of students, how many can be remembered by the emperor? If they can get into the eyes of the emperor this time, as long as they don't take a crooked career in the future, it will definitely be good. Guiyi, don't keep quiet about this, and don't mention it to your sisters."

"I see." Song Guiyi nodded hurriedly, "I didn't expect that I would encounter such a big event when I traveled thousands of miles back to my mother's house, and when I go back in the future, I can blow it in front of my mother-in-law."

The eldest lady was amused all of a sudden, "If your mother-in-law hears it, she can't beat you."

Song Guiyi smiled, "My mother-in-law treats me like a daughter, and only those who are happy for me."

The eldest lady sighed lightly, "You didn't catch up with the good times, your father's official position was low, and your marriage will inevitably be lower."

"Mother, how can you say that, my husband is motivated and hard-working, my in-laws treat me kindly, and my daughter is very grateful to my mother for choosing a marriage for me." Song Guiyi said immediately.

Seeing her daughter protecting her in-laws like this, the eldest lady smiled and said, "That's good, as long as your son-in-law is motivated, your good life in the future will not be far away."

Song Guiyi naturally thought so, she watched her mother change the topic, "Before I left Beijing, I didn't know if I could see Jieyu, and our sisters haven't seen each other for many years."

"I'm afraid it won't work out now, Jieyu mentioned to me that I miss you very much, but I'm afraid I will have to wait until the imperial examination case is over." The eldest lady said.

"It's good to see each other, it's okay sooner or later, the main thing is that we sisters don't know when we'll see each other again." Song Guiyi said slowly, marrying far away has such shortcomings, and it is not easy to meet with his family.

"As long as the son-in-law is motivated, he can be a Beijing official sooner or later, and then what is the difficulty for your sisters to meet." The eldest lady smiled and comforted her daughter, but she also knew in her heart that even if Zhong Yingzhang was really motivated, if he wanted to enter Beijing as an official, unless he made any special political achievements, he could only achieve it in just a few years, otherwise he could only go up step by step.

If it is fast, it will take ten or eight years, and if it is slow, it will take one or two decades.

But there has to be a hope.

With Anshun's help, Song Huran's progress was going very smoothly, someone had evidence, plus a group of young and enthusiastic students, and soon things became bigger.

Many students feel that they have not done well in the exam, and they don't want to wait for the emperor list to come out and return to their hometowns, but they don't leave when such a thing happens, if the exam questions are really leaked, then the matter will definitely not be revealed like this, and many people feel that maybe they can have a chance to give it a try.

Countless candidates rushed into the yamen to seek justice, these candidates have meritorious reputation, even the government cannot be arrested and imprisoned at will, and the matter is suddenly stale.

After Xie Jinshu learned the news, he immediately called his sister over, "You go to see the eldest lady immediately and ask the eldest lady if she can find a copy of the exam paper she bought and lend me it."

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Xie Linlang asked strangely, what is the use of taking the exam paper at this time?

Xie Jinshu said, "Didn't you see that it was Young Master Song who took the lead?" Chinese Net

"I know." Xie Linlang didn't understand for a while.

"Young Master Song dares to make such a fuss, do you think there is anyone behind him?"

Xie Linlang was shocked, "You mean Jieyu is behind her?"

"Almost, what Jieyu dares to do, there must be a certainty of success, and at this time we must take a hand. There are very few people who can afford this kind of exam paper, and many people have never seen it. Let's take the exam paper and engrave it overnight, even if it's not a copy for everyone, then we have to let everyone know what this exam paper looks like. Only when we see such examination papers can we make everyone more confident and seek justice in the end."

Xie Linlang heard that it made sense, "I'll go now."

This is a big deal and cannot be delayed.

Xie Linlang hurriedly went to the Song Mansion to ask to see the eldest lady, Xie Jinshu asked people to spend a lot of money to hire stereotypes, fortunately he had a friend who was in the bookstore business, and there were a few stereotypes under him who could be borrowed for a while.

After Song Yunzhao told the emperor about the matter in the palace, he didn't ask again, and even after Anshun introduced the person who had been arranged before to Song Huran, he no longer left the palace, and the palace seemed to have returned to its previous state.

After two days of leisure, the first person to come over soon was Han Jinyi.

"Something big happened to Yun Zhao, have you heard?" Han Jinyi had fine sweat on her forehead and an anxious look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Song Yunzhao asked knowingly, making a look of ignorance.

"Didn't your family write to you about the leaked exam questions? Oh, go and ask, it's your cousin who is taking the lead this time." The anxiety in Han Jinyi's eyes was unconcealed, "Don't be by others

If you take advantage of it, the leakage of the exam questions is very important, and if there is a mistake here, I am afraid that your cousin will be used as a stepping stone."

"So it's for this, I know about it." Song Yunzhao waited for Han Jinyi to speak, and then made a look of righteous indignation, "Don't you know, my cousin was introduced to buy a so-called guessing paper before the exam, but he didn't expect this guessing paper to be a full school, but he was frightened, and he didn't dare to write a word on the exam paper, so he directly handed in the blank paper. When my eldest aunt came into the palace and told me, she cried angrily, don't you say this is ruining people's future?"

Han Jinyi was stunned, "There is still such a thing? Someone sells exam questions at a high price?"

Song Yunzhao nodded with a melancholy face, "Yes, these people are black-hearted and really have a conscience to feed the dogs, ten years of cold windows, and three volts of nine years of study, the result is not as good as those incompetent people who can go to high school for a little money, who do you say can swallow this breath?"

Han Jinyi echoed with relatives, "Yes, who can be willing?"

Speaking of this, she looked up at Yun Zhao, "You all know about this matter, do you also support your cousin's trouble?"

"That's nature!" Song Yunzhao was indignant, "My cousin has always been a person with backbone, otherwise he would not rather hand in a blank paper than go along with it. Not only my cousin, but my cousin-in-law was also a fool, and he wrote the paper on the first day, and when he got to the next two sessions, he also handed in the blank paper."

Han Jinyi: ......

I really didn't expect that the descendants of the Song family would have such a backbone, and I couldn't help but admire it, no wonder they could raise a character like Yun Zhao.

If you are an ordinary person, who wants to hand in a blank slate?

Thinking about it this way, Song Hun Ran took the lead in seeking justice, and she understood.

It's just that this matter is not easy, and I can't help but worry: "But this matter may not be able to get a satisfactory result."

"There will be a result." Song Yunzhao said with special confidence.

"Why?" Han Jinyi looked at Yun Zhao suspiciously, this is not a battle between the concubines of the harem, it is easy to have a result.

"Of course, it's because I sued the royal court!" Song Yunzhao said confidently.

Han Jinyi was speechless, looked at Song Yunzhao in shock, and nodded in admiration, "It's you!"

Song Yunzhao and Han Jinyi looked at each other, and the two couldn't help laughing.

"Since you have a plan in your heart, I am relieved, I am afraid that your cousin will be calculated and harm you, but now that you support him, what am I worried about?" Han Jinyi was really relieved, and the whole person relaxed.

"Jinyi, thank you." Song Yunzhao said sincerely, "You are the only one who remembers me like this."

Han Jinyi shook her head, "You and I have a relationship, now that I know, I naturally can't sit idly by."

"Then let's just wait, there will be a good outcome." Song Yunzhao said.

As long as the emperor administers justice for these students this time, he will inevitably win the support and love of these people, and the emperor's justice will win him a group of important ministers.

At that time, the name of Emperor Mingjun will also start slowly, it won't take too long, only the emperor needs to go around for another two or three years, and these people can be gradually used, and the situation above the court will slowly turn over at that time.

In the past two or three years, the most important task Song Yunzhao set for himself was to give birth to a prince.

It's not that she is patriarchal, but the status of the prince can ensure her status, she has status and power, even if she has another daughter, she can be stable.

This big gamble is not easy for anyone.
