Chapter 15: A Tooth for a Tooth
Spring peach came out of the sweet apricot room, and her eyes were red.
Song Tinglan understands that the two grew up together and are like sisters, and now that Tianxing is injured like this, Chun Tao feels uncomfortable.
In that case, she should go and vent!
As soon as it was dawn today, Song Tinglan sent a letter to his father.
The letter didn't say much, just said that he wanted a few female soldiers who could fight to protect himself.
The last time Song Chengrong came back from the Guogong Mansion, he began to look for suitable people to protect Song Tinglan.
At this time, a few suitable people were selected from the army, and Song Tinglan sent a letter.
Immediately they sent people over.
Song Chengrong sent a total of four women.
They are called plum incense, orchid incense, bamboo incense, and chrysanthemum incense.
Song Tinglan frowned slightly when he heard these names, looking at their tall figures, it was really hard to imagine that they were actually called by this name.
"This ......"
Before she could speak, Mei Xiang said, "Madame, do you think our names don't sound good?" ”
"Forehead ......"
Song Tinglan was organizing the wording, and was interrupted by Lan Xiang again.
"This name was given to us by Master Hou, he said that we are too vulgar, and you are a dignified and elegant person who is proficient in pen and ink, so let's take a woman's name to neutralize it."
Song Tinglan: ......
"Actually, it's better for you to call you by your name."
"No, we love the name now."
The four of them spoke in unison.
Song Tinglan couldn't cry or laugh, so he simply didn't care about them anymore, just told them the rules of the mansion roughly, then ordered someone to carry the sedan chair, and took the four of them to Xiao Tingyu's courtyard with a menacing attitude.
Xiao Tingyu was practicing calligraphy in the room at this time, and seeing that the time was almost up, he asked, "Grandpa Guo, haven't you come back yet?" ”
Rong An is grinding.
"Xu Yes, there are many things in the DPRK and China today, and they have been delayed."
As soon as the words fell, there was a noise outside the door.
Rong An hurriedly went out, and came back in a hurry after a while.
"Shizi, it's not good, ma'am...... Beat up the janitor in our courtyard. ”
"What!"
Xiao Tingyu immediately put down the pen and walked out with a gloomy face.
At this time, there were already several small servants lying in the courtyard, and one of them was lying on the ground moaning.
And Song Tinglan sat on the sedan chair and said casually:
"Xiao Tingyu, I just slept a little more heavily last night, and you beat my maid to a serious injury.
Today, I just wanted to ask you a few things, but these little guys blocked the door and didn't let you in.
Then I can only treat others in the way of others.
I also hope that the prince will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and if he provokes me again, I can't guarantee that he will do something. ”
Xiao Tingyu looked at Song Tinglan dumbfounded.
She was lazy at this time, obviously just wearing a simple bamboo blue dress, her hair was only pulled up with a hosta, and her face was not powdered.
Even the eyes she looked at were contemptuous.
However, this appearance turned out to be so beautiful and fresh that Xiao Tingyu almost couldn't take his eyes off.
He always knew that Song Tinglan was extremely beautiful.
But in his opinion, her beauty is too old-fashioned and deliberate.
It's like a mechanical dummy, with calm eyes that make people not interested in the slightest.
But now, she obviously has a look of disdain, but the whole person is as vivid as an immortal, which makes people forget to see it.
It wasn't until Song Tinglan's sedan chair had gone away that he came back to his senses.
"The ...... of the Prince"
Rong An had already ordered to help the injured person into the room to rest, but he still couldn't find Xiao Tingyu's expression.
His reaction was really beyond his expectations, Song Tinglan bullied him so far, and the prince didn't have any reaction?
That's it!
It's incredible.
At this time, Xiao Zhensheng had returned to the Guogong Mansion.
His face was gloomy, and he wanted to impeach Song Chengrong in the court today, so he said in tears that Song Chengrong kidnapped the prince, led troops to surround the Guogong Mansion, and made the Guogong Mansion lose face.
Unexpectedly, after the saint heard what happened, he didn't punish Song Chengrong at all, but instead slapped a big board, so he vaguely brought the matter over on the grounds that his in-laws were in conflict.
For this reason, Song Chengrong was even more angry, and directly asked him how he dealt with Pei Nianqing.
But the current Pei Nianqing couldn't move, so he could only explain carefully, but Song Chengrong didn't appreciate it at all, and shouted directly.
He already had a loud voice, and now it was time for the next dynasty, and for a while, everyone in the court knew that the prince of his country's mansion favored his concubine and killed his wife.
No, it's spoiling a widow and killing a wife.
For a while, they all looked at him with disdain.
Xiao Zhen angrily dropped several good teacups, which suppressed the depression in his heart.
But it's far from over.
Soon, Wen Yuhua sent someone to invite Xiao Zhensheng to the main hall of the front hall.
At this moment, a richly dressed woman was sitting upright, her face gloomy.
This person is Mrs. Zhang of the Hubu Shangshu.
Not long ago, Xiao Zhishan, the concubine of the second room, and Zhang Yi, the second son of the Shangshu Mansion, settled their marriage.
Mrs. Zhang's sudden arrival this time is probably not a trivial matter.
Wen Yuhua has never liked to deal with the housewives of these big families, but when the other party said that he wanted to see Xiao Zhensheng, Wen Yuhua immediately sent someone to summon him.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Xiao Zhensheng coming, she immediately stood up and said:
"Grandpa Guo, my lord has been an official in the same dynasty as you for many years, and I will say it bluntly, recently the matter of the prince of the house snubbing his wife has made a lot of noise, I have thought about it for a long time, the marriage of our two families, forget it!"
"This ......" Xiao Zhensheng's face changed greatly.
"Mrs. Zhang, this marriage has been decided, how can you suddenly regret it, this woman's reputation is not good after all."
Mrs. Zhang was dissatisfied with this marriage, after all, the third son of the second room had a good reputation, at the beginning, she saw that the girl was pure and kind, the family style of the Guogong Mansion was quite strict, and her son liked it tightly, so she reluctantly agreed.
Unexpectedly, the Guogong Mansion would make such a fuss.
is so unruly, let alone a little girl in the second room.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang almost came to quit her family as soon as she got the news.
"I know that the divorce will affect the woman's reputation, so we said to the outside world that it was because my son was in poor health and couldn't bear to delay your daughter, so we withdrew from the marriage.
In this way, it will not affect the reputation of the daughter in the house, and after a while, you can talk about marriage again. ”
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she didn't give Xiao Zhensheng and Wen Yuhua a chance to refute at all, and directly took out the Geng post and the token.
Xiao Zhensheng looked at this situation and knew that this matter was irreparable, even if he forced the other party to marry Xiao Zhishan, then her life after marriage would not be satisfactory, why bother?
It's better to withdraw from the marriage and save the face of the two families.
Xiao Zhensheng was helpless, so he could only order someone to invite the second lady to bring the token and Gengti.
There are a total of three bedrooms in the Guogong Mansion.
Xiao Zhenye, the second room, is currently the fourth product, serving in the Hanlin Academy, with an honest temperament, and has always respected Xiao Zhensheng in the house.
His wife, Zhao Jiyun, is the daughter of the Zhao family, an official to the third grade, born in a poor family, although she has no foundation, but she is an honest official.
But Zhao Jiyun has been pampered since he was a child and has a pungent temperament, so he has never been used to his husband's appearance.
Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious.
Knowing that her husband didn't like her, Zhao Jiyun simply put all her energy on a pair of children.
But because he doted on his son too much, over time, he raised his only son into a gentleman, often lingering in the place of fireworks, not to mention, and a frequent visitor to the casino.
However, she beat and scolded her daughter Xiao Zhishan at every turn, venting all her hatred on her.
Xiao Zhishan's temperament is becoming more and more timid, shrunken, and silent, and being able to marry the second son of Shangshu Mansion is something she couldn't think of before.
Therefore, she attaches great importance to this marriage, and she firmly believes that as long as she marries, she can get rid of her mother.
