123: There are always people who are not interested
She also walked with interest, but Concubine Lu left her without interest!
Song Yunzhao couldn't guess why Concubine Lu was looking for her for the time being, so he looked at her and smiled, "I don't know what happened to Niangniang?"
Concubine Lu looked at Song Yunzhao, "The silver you guys have scraped together has been bought into coarse cloth, but there is still a surplus."
Song Yunzhao was stunned, there was still money left, that is, he couldn't buy cloth.
Thinking of this, her heart chuckled, she had already guessed that when this kind of thing happened, there would definitely be merchants hoarding goods and wanting to sell them at a high price.
Concubine Lu looked at Song Yunzhao, "This is also something that can't be helped, some cloth villages refuse to sell cloth even if they have cloth, and the court can't grab it."
Song Yunzhao bowed slightly, of course he couldn't do this, and the right minister would not offend the people behind these shops for the sake of the people affected by the disaster.
"In addition to fabric, I can't buy much cotton and other things, and my father has ordered the recruitment of embroidery girls, but without official documents from the imperial court, they cannot be forcibly recruited."
"What's the use of the lady and the concubine saying this, the prime minister has no choice, and I can only look at the ocean and sigh." Song Yunzhao really has no choice, she is just a little woman, it is good to be able to take care of herself, she is really powerless to do anything about this kind of big thing.
"This palace is telling you this, first, to explain the whereabouts of your money, don't think that I am greedy. Second, I don't have any idea of what I'm talking to you about, so let's see if you can figure it out."
Song Yunzhao shook his head, "Niangniang inevitably thinks too highly of the concubines, the concubines can only do their best, and the other commissions really can't help."
The concubine meddled in the government, was she worried that she would live too long?
Right Prime Minister can use himself now, so he naturally hopes that she can come up with a good idea and help him make a contribution. But neither the right minister nor Concubine Lu is a person who can be a long-term ally, and when the matter is over, maybe the father and daughter will bite back on themselves.
The concubine's participation in politics is a fatal thing.
Don't say that Song Yunzhao has no good way, even if she does, she will definitely not tell the right minister, she will only say it to the emperor.
Concubine Lu looked at Song Yunzhao's expression really didn't look like she was lying to herself, and she had no choice, so she just said, "If there is no way, then we can only do this." For the rest, leave it to the destiny of heaven."
Song Yunzhao's heart sank slightly, and he got up in silence to say goodbye.
Concubine Lu didn't stop her this time, but looked at her back and said, "Song Yunzhao, I owe you a favor for this incident."
Song Yunzhao knew what Concubine Lu was referring to, and it was really cost-effective to exchange a favor for her credit for getting the right minister back on his feet this time.
However, Song Yunzhao didn't care about these gains and losses, her original intention was to borrow the hand of the right minister to help the victims, so that the right minister owed her favors just by the way.
After Song Yunzhao left, Concubine Lu said to Mama Wen, "What do you think?"
Mama Wen shook her head slightly, "The slave maid can't see Song Jieyu's thoughts, but looking at Jieyu, she doesn't seem to attach much importance to the favor in her mother's mouth, so she shouldn't make a move to repay her kindness."
Concubine Lu snorted, "She's smart."
Even her father said that Song Yunzhao had better not offend, unless he could beat her to death with a stick, he couldn't shoot easily.
Concubine Lu's face was even worse when she thought of this, a person like Song Yunzhao has intelligence, appearance, and grace, if there is another prince, where will there be a place for others to settle in this harem.
It's just horrible.
She has been in the palace for five years, and others have seen her as a concubine, but she knows her own family affairs, and her grace is just paper paste, and she can't withstand the wind at all.
The only thing that can make her feel a little comforting is that Song Yunzhao has been alone for so long, and her stomach still hasn't moved.
Concubine Lu even thought that her favor was fake, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan were not able to get pregnant even if they were favored, and now Song Yunzhao still has no movement, so much belly has no news, maybe it is the emperor's problem.
What if the emperor can't give birth?
Then you can only pass from the royal family.
Thinking about it like this, Concubine Lu was a little nervous,
I don't know if I should be optimistic about the candidate in advance, so I plan first.
Song Yunzhao didn't know what Concubine Lu was thinking, and even if he knew, he would probably be speechless about her thoughts.
The emperor is young, even if he really can't give birth, if he wants to set up a prince and choose someone from the side branches of the royal family, he will have to wait for a decade or two later.
Dare to think about this matter now, Concubine Lu is really not afraid of death.
Song Yunzhao returned to the Palace of Forgotten Worries, but she didn't expect the emperor to be there, and the sudden surprise made her trot into the palace.
Feng Yi turned his head when he heard the footsteps, and saw Song Yunzhao rushing into the hall, and before he could speak, he listened to her and said, "Why is the emperor here now? I knew that the emperor would come, so I wouldn't go to Cuiwei Palace."
Feng Yi stretched out his hand to help Song Yunzhao take off the big hat, and Xiangxue hurriedly reached out to take it.
Feng Yi shook Song Yunzhao's hand and asked, "Don't you bring a hand stove?"
"After staying in Cuiwei Palace for a long time, the charcoal fire in the hand stove has gone out." Song Yunzhao put his hand on the emperor's palm.
Feng Yi wrapped her palms and warmed them, "When will you be able to sit down with Concubine Lu and drink tea?"
Listening to the emperor's banter, Song Yunzhao almost rolled his eyes, "I want to know too."
Feng Yi smiled, "Can you not know?"
Song Yunzhao raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, "I'm not a god operator, how can I know?"
Feng Yi pulled someone to sit down and said to her, "Did Concubine Lu ask you about cloth and cotton?"
"Hey, it turns out that the god operator is the emperor."
Feng Yi: ......
After scolding the emperor, Song Yunzhao accepted it when he saw it, and immediately said, "Concubine Lu did ask me about this, but I can't help it, I'm a little woman, can I still manage whether other people's shops sell cloth or not?"
Feng Yi listened to Song Yunzhao's words, and knew that Concubine Lu had not made it clear to her, and it seemed that Lu Xiang wanted to borrow Concubine Lu's hand to get out of Yunzhao.
"It's true that the shops don't sell cloth, it's not that they don't sell it, it's that the price given by Lu Xiang is too low."
Song Yunzhao was stunned, there is such a thing?
Concubine Lu didn't say anything.
"Lu Xiang wants to take credit, but he can't raise more disaster silver, so he wants to lower the price." Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao and said meaningfully.
Song Yunzhao: ......
There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not!
What is the difference between Lu Xiang and a robber when he does this?
Shops also have the capital to do business, and people today are not as highly conscious as later generations, it doesn't matter if you don't want money to donate it, human life is worth more than things.
It can't be counted like this here, and it can be said that human life is the least valuable here, although it is cruel, but it is also true.
Seeing that Yun Zhao was not in a good mood, Feng Yi knew that she might be a little sad because of this matter, after the snow disaster, she could immediately take out her private money for disaster relief, her heart was very soft and kind.
"If Lu Xiang does this, isn't he afraid of being impeached by the people on the left?" Song Yunzhao asked, not to mention that there was also a Qin Taifu who was vying for credit.
"In a hurry, the left minister will not take action for the time being."
Even if it is liquidated, it has to wait for the matter to pass, but at that time, the right minister has a meritorious service in disaster relief, and even if the left minister is impeached, he will at most offset his merits.
Song Yunzhao thought to himself that she was fortunate not to mix with the court, otherwise she didn't know how she would have died, and she couldn't count them one by one.
"So what's next?" Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor and asked.
Feng Yi knew that Song Yunzhao was concerned about this matter, so he said to her, "Your father has already cleared out the collapsed house with the victims and is ready to rest again."
Song Yunzhao was stunned, huh? Sure enough, is the father and daughter connected?
"The weather is very cold right now, and the people can't be allowed to cover the sky, because if people don't do something, they will freeze to death. Instead of waiting for them to freeze to death, it is better to clear the snow and repair the houses, so that they are not afraid of the cold when they are physically active."
"Where did the victims stay that night?"
"I've built a shed, and although it can only be used for a while, I can still live in it."
She just thought about the cash-for-work that she saw in later generations, and now her father has already started to do it?
Song Yunzhao felt that he really underestimated the survival wisdom of the ancients, and when people were cornered, they could really come up with any way.
In this way, you will not be afraid, as long as you can have food and shelter, you can survive this winter.
Maybe it's going to be hard, it's going to be hard, but there's hope.
She is a layman, she does not have the wisdom of the great Confucian, and she does not have the ability to turn her hands into clouds and rain through her predecessors, she can only do her best, and it is already an unexpected joy to have this result.
Don't be too greedy.
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao and smiled like a flower, and his mood became happy.
He never imagined that one day, there would be someone around him who would give him the urge to talk to her about these things.
But now when she tells Yun Zhao, she doesn't just listen, she will have her own ideas, and sometimes she will give herself good advice, and she will give back what he says, which is what makes him the happiest.
She understands him.
Feng Yi stayed for lunch, and Song Yunzhao remembered the New Year's banquet and talked about it with the emperor.
"Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Lu both said that the palace New Year's banquet is to invite the women into the palace to celebrate the New Year, Your Majesty, will you do this this year?"
Feng Yi nodded, "According to the rules of the palace."
After speaking, he looked up at Yun Zhao, and saw that her eyebrows were frowning, and her eyes were a little tangled, and she couldn't help laughing, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, you said that if I invite my aunt to the New Year's banquet, will someone point at my nose and scold me for being unfilial?" Song Yunzhao asked with a sincere face.
How could Feng Yi not see through Yun Zhao's careful thoughts, she had a bad relationship with her biological mother, and she didn't want her biological mother to touch her light, but she didn't want to be accused of unfilial piety, so she deliberately tried it in front of herself, didn't she just want him to give her a head? Took the name for her?
Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao with a serious expression, "Of course there will be."
Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor silently, she really knew how to pretend, but who didn't know how to act, she immediately said: "Your Majesty, my eldest aunt solves problems for me and protects me everywhere, what's wrong with me wanting my eldest aunt to attend on such an occasion? My mother gave birth to me, but she didn't care for me in the slightest, she hated me and rejected me, and even asked me to be a stepping stone for her other daughter. If I invite my mother into the palace, won't it chill my aunt's heart and live up to my aunt's love for me?"
"If your eldest aunt really protects you, how can she care about these little things, she should be able to understand you."
Song Yunzhao smiled, "Just because others can understand doesn't mean that I should take it for granted, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. If the emperor thinks it's not appropriate for my eldest aunt to enter the palace, then don't come."
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao in surprise, he didn't expect her to say this, so he said, "If you do this, what will be your reputation when Mrs. Song talks about it outside in the future?"
Song Yunzhao glanced up at the emperor, it was a bit surprising that he would think about her reputation at this time.
Rarely feeling a little weak, she coughed lightly and said, "It's impossible to say that I don't care about fame at all, but if fame kidnaps me to do something I don't want to do, I don't want to. How to repay virtue with virtue? I'm not a saint, others have bullied me, and I don't want to bend over for the sake of fame, so if I do get to that point, then it's better to break up."
Feng Yi stared at Yun Zhao deeply, and he was not surprised at all when he heard her say this.
Such unorthodox words, if they were listened to by the readers, they would definitely point to her nose and scold her for three days and three nights.
However, Feng Yi didn't say it, but in his heart he agreed that Yun Zhao had some words that were very much in line with his heart.
He has also been a child who has not been liked by his parents since he was a child, and he knows how many grievances and sorrows children who are not protected will encounter.
If he repays his grievances with virtue, then the Queen Mother should be happy in the palace, not in the palace.
Is it that the Queen Mother doesn't want to go back to the palace?
No, it's that he doesn't want the Queen Mother to come back and get involved in his life.
With the character of the Queen Mother, if she lives
In the palace, this harem will definitely be tossed by her, before he has great power, the queen mother will make trouble for himself, how can he sit firmly on the throne?
Therefore, he had a six-year appointment with the Queen Mother, and she thought that the first emperor would live in the palace in the name of filial piety, and he would take her back to the palace six years later.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi found that when the six-year appointment next year was coming, he was bound to keep his promise to take the Queen Mother back to the palace.
But now in the harem, there is not a single concubine who can restrain the queen mother, which is a big problem.
If no one can control the queen mother, this harem is afraid that it will be a mess.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi's eyes fell on Yun Zhao.
Song Yunzhao was stared at by the emperor's dark eyes, and his heart suddenly panicked, and he always had a bad premonition.
Thinking like this, he listened to the emperor say, "Don't worry, I will write the list of palace banquets myself."
Well?
The surprise came so quickly, a bit like a tornado, that she didn't come back to her senses for a while.
However, the emperor agreed so quickly, it wouldn't be to fill some hole with her, right?
No matter what, she is still very happy to solve this big problem, this kind of thing, she comes to do it, it is a big thing, the word filial piety is on the head, and the horizontal is also wrong and the vertical is wrong.
But if the emperor decrees, it will be different, although the Song family is divided, but the eldest lady is the grandmother of the Song family, and it is reasonable to let her enter the palace.
Such an incident made Song Yunzhao happy for several days, and it was the end of November in an instant, before entering the lunar month, the snow disaster had come to an end, and it was inevitable that the old, weak, women and children would not be able to survive, but in general, the death toll was much lower than expected.
Whether it is the right minister, the Taifu of Qin, or Song Nanzhen, who is relieving the disaster again this time, they are all greatly appreciated by the emperor in the court.
This slamming emperor, this time it was just a lip service, and there was no actual commendation.
Song Yunzhao was not surprised, her father stared at Taifu Qin and the right minister, no matter which of these two they were, the emperor definitely didn't want to add officials to them, and the official position could not be promoted, but there were also honorable officers, honorary titles for courtiers who contributed to the imperial court.
The contradiction between the emperor and the courtiers is very deep, and in such a situation, he will never be willing to give them honors.
In this way, her father was implicated, and there will be no reward this time.
Others watched Song Yunzhao suffer a loss, but Song Yunzhao himself didn't think so, if her father was promoted too quickly, it would be a hidden danger, so it was better to work steadily like this.
In this matter, the only one who is stained is the right minister, who was disgraced because of the fraud case before, and this time he is angry.
As unlucky as Song Nanzhen was Qin Taifu, Qin Taifu really did his best this time, but the emperor just praised a few words in the court, which was far from what he wanted at the beginning.
Especially after his son Qin Yuanjing was dismissed for accepting bribes, Mrs. Qin was so active in disaster relief this time, hoping to find another official position for his son, but at the moment, the emperor's attitude is probably not successful.
Mrs. Qin held back her anger, and was busy for more than a month, and actually made a wedding dress for the right minister, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she didn't show half a point in the court, but after returning home, she was so angry.
Qin Xiyue didn't ease up for a long time when she got the news in the palace, and it took so much effort to do this, but the result was unsatisfactory.
She really couldn't understand how it was so difficult to do something on her own.
But after thinking about it, this time Song Yunzhao's father was not promoted, and disaster relief is different from soup kitchen, which is a more difficult errand.
Qin Xiyue originally thought that after this matter, Song Yunzhao might be dissatisfied, as long as Song Yunzhao could make trouble with the emperor, she could also turn around here, who knew that she had waited and waited, and she had never heard of Song Yunzhao's actions until she entered Layue.
How depressed Qin Xiyue was Song Yunzhao didn't know that Song Yexi and Song Jinxuan were going to get married a year ago, so they weren't in such a hurry, but the Yang family wanted to send their son south to study after the New Year, so they wanted Song Jinxuan to accompany them, so they discussed with the Song family whether the marriage date could be in time before the year.
Song Jinxuan also had a Song Yexi before, and the Song family had to talk to the matchmaker, and the matchmaker went to Yue again
When the family asked, the Yue family was satisfied with the marriage with the Song family, of course, they would not be embarrassed, so the Yue family took the initiative to come to the door to ask for the date, so the marriage of the two daughters of the Song family was set before the year.
The eldest lady had mentioned it to Yun Zhao once when she entered the palace before, and now that the marriage is settled, Song Yexi is going to get married, and the girl who got married, Song Guiyi, who has just arrived in the place with her husband, has just arrived in the place for more than a month, and it is impossible to rush back again, so she can only send a congratulatory gift.
Song Lirong is not very far away, she will definitely come back after two or three days' drive, Song Hongjiao can come back closely, plus a Song Qinghan, the Song family is also lively.
The eldest lady was in a very good mood, watching Song Lirong and Song Hongjiao come back, she called someone to ask about the marriage after marriage, knowing that their life in her husband's house was quite smooth, and nodded with satisfaction.
He also asked them to go back to their respective aunts to talk privately, and held a family banquet in the evening, so that the girls who were married could sit together and have a lively time.
On the other side, after Song Hun Ran was released, the leader of the family was Song Hun Chang, Song Hun Chang took Song Hun Yue and Song Hunming to join in the fun, Song Hunming and Song Hunchang were both concubines, and the two were close in temperament, but not long after Song Hun Yue entered the table, he was called away by Song Qinghan, and it was not the sisters and brothers who said anything.
Song Hun Chang looked at Song Hun Ming with a calm expression, without the slightest abnormality, and he also admired it in his heart.
Now the outside of the third room looks like a ball of harmony, but in fact, the inside has long been clear.
Song Junchang will definitely not get involved in the affairs of the third room, his mother treats him like a mountain, his sister and sister of his mother's compatriots are also married well, and his aunt has lived a stable life in the house for so many years, except for the early years when he was young, his aunt was a little ignorant of the severity of angering his wife and was punished, but there has been no such thing in these years.
What's more, Song Hunchang's biological mother was born in Kabuki, so she was an aunt, and she was also the lowest among the aunts. He has been studying in the academy all these years, and he has heard of the privacy of many people's families, and no concubine from Kabuki can be as blessed to meet a housewife like his aunt.
Thinking of this, Song Hun Chang remembered his mother's advice, looked at Song Hun Ming and said softly, "After Sister Xuan gets married, what are your plans?"
Song Hunming's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked up at Song Hunchang and said, "Second cousin, what do you mean by this?"
Song Huchang smiled lightly, "I heard that the Yang family chose a famous teacher for your cousin-in-law, have you ever thought about going out to study?"
Song Hunming's heart tightened, and he slowly relaxed his smile at Song Hunchang, and said softly with his head tilted slightly, "Second cousin, is that what the eldest aunt meant?"
Song Hun Chang bowed slightly, "I'm just giving you a good voice, you may not have a big profit if you stay in Beijing to study, teach our husband to prepare for resignation, so you have to prepare earlier."
In the winter, Mr. Xue was seriously ill, and when he was old, he had the intention of returning home.
Song Hunming's heart beat slightly, since his sister got married, his grandmother has treated him more and more strictly, especially when he and his eldest brother ask his grandmother to say goodbye, he will always be deliberately made difficult by his grandmother, and then take the opportunity to punish him, so that he is late for class and has been reprimanded by Mr. many times.
In front of Mr., he couldn't say that his mother-in-law was wrong, so he could only swallow his grievances.
It would be best if I could go out of Beijing to study, but my grandmother would not agree.
"Thank you, second cousin, I made a note of it." Song Hunming said gratefully.
Song Huchang smiled slightly, there is not much he can do, and he naturally doesn't dare to say anything about the matter of the third room, but Boming has a good aunt, and after Aunt Che knows the news, she will definitely think for her son.
Besides, Yang Shu is Boming's brother-in-law, so Aunt Che can naturally think of a way.
Song Hun Yue walked to the door, and saw Song Hunming and Song Hunchang talking closely, the smile on his face made him look a little dazzling, and when he thought of the eldest sister's words, he couldn't help but feel a little upset, and he didn't want to go in at this moment.
