Enter the Room

  When the news about what happened between Song Tao and the eldest wife reached Song Jiyun's ears, she had just returned from Grandpa Song Shishi's house and was changing clothes in the gauze closet.

  She sat in front of the mirror, picked out some balm from the box of red lacquered mother-of-pearl, rubbed it gently on her hands, and said, "What happened afterwards? How did they discuss it?"

Madam Zheng curled her lips disapprovingly, she didn't even address "Miss Tao", and said directly: "Song Tao said that it was for Master Tianbao that Master Song couldn't wake up. Otherwise, it would be better for them to be beaten and scolded by Master Song." Little, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Master Song will turn his anger on the eldest wife, open a kiln factory to make money, spend time and wine outside, and those cronies like Master Song will take concubines and keep their concubines, disrespecting the eldest wife."

  Song Jiyun sneered, lowered his head to choose the headgear to wear in the dowry: "Then what does the eldest lady say?"

"The eldest lady doesn't quite believe it. She said that Mr. Song is very stingy, and he wants to go out for a drink and wants to rub off on others, shouldn't she?" Madam Zheng said, "Song Tao said that it is because Mr. Song has no money now. She also said What kind of man becomes bad when he has money, so let the eldest wife not trust Mrs. Song too much. He also said that if Mr. Song puts the eldest wife in his eyes, he will not beat the eldest wife in front of them and the servants. "

  Song Jiyun thought that he would not have to go out later, but just go to have dinner with Mrs. Qian, so he picked a wisteria and silk flower hairpin.

"The eldest lady is a little shaken." Seeing this, Nanny Zheng quickly helped her put on the hairpin, and then turned to get a target mirror. "Seeing Song Tao, she said that she did this for Master Tianbao. If Master Song wakes up , in charge of the kiln factory, and he can give the money he earns to whoever he wants in the future? But she is different, she is a girl, and she will marry someone one day. When she gets married, Master Tianbao will also grow up, just in time Isn't it a hundred times better to leave the kiln to Master Tianbao than to let Master Song take care of the kiln?"

   "So, the eldest lady is tempted." Song Jiyun took a target mirror and looked at the silk flower in his hair, thinking that it looked pretty good, and smiled with satisfaction.

   "Yes!" Nanny Zheng nodded, and helped Song Jiyun tidy up the jewelry in front of the mirror, "The eldest lady said, it won't be too late for Master Song to wake up after Song Tao has mastered the kiln affairs."

   I'm afraid Song Tao doesn't think so.

   Song Cumulus Jaw.

Mother Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "However, the eldest lady also said that after you go to Eleventh Master, everyone will know that Master Song is unconscious, so if you go to visit Master Song, you will be in trouble if you reveal your secrets." .”

   "Oh!" Song Jiyun said with interest, "What did Song Tao say?"

"Song Tao said that the opening of the kiln factory has not yet sent invitations to the Song family." Madam Zheng said, "Instead of letting the Song family come to visit Master Song, it is better for them to take the initiative instead of being passive and hurry up to visit Mr. Song." Master Song sent a servant to send invitations to each family before, and the people who received the invitations will definitely ask about Master Song's condition, and then they will say that Master Song is fine, and just see you when the business is auspicious."

"I underestimated her." Song Jiyun stood up when he heard the words, and sat down on the arhat bed by the window served by Madam Zheng, and drank a sip of tea, "If you ask me when it opens, you can say Song The master's condition has suddenly deteriorated, and we can't delay the auspicious time, so we have no choice but to let her preside over the opening ceremony instead of my father."

"As you said," Madam Zheng said, and under Song Jiyun's gesture, she sat on the embroidered pier next to Song Jiyun, "Song Tao gave the eldest lady such an idea. But the eldest wife is still very worried. Some people will still visit Mr. Song, but they are afraid that someone will insist on Mr. Song presiding over the grand opening."

  Song Jiyun poured a cup of tea for Madam Zheng to moisten her throat.

Mother Zheng thanked her, and continued: "Song Tao made a bet with the eldest lady. She said that if everything goes according to what she said, the eldest lady will stand by her wholeheartedly in the future, and she will do whatever she says. If it is a matter If there is a change, she will listen to the eldest wife from then on, and she will do whatever the eldest wife asks her to do."

  Song Jiyun chuckled, and said: "According to the temperament of the eldest wife, she should agree."

   "The eldest lady agreed." Madam Zheng said, "The eldest wife not only agreed, but also asked Song Tao to promise that when Master Tianbao turned sixteen, he would hand over the kiln to Master Tianbao, and Song Tao also agreed."

The two were talking in a low voice, and the incense hairpin guarding the door suddenly said loudly: "Miss, Mr. Song sent a servant to send an invitation card, saying that Mr. Song's kiln will open in two days. Miss, please go over to watch the ceremony."

  Song Jiyun and Madam Zheng exchanged glances with a smile.

  In the Yin Yu Hall, Yuan Yunzhong, who was lying on the drunkard's chair reading a book, looked at the gestures of the six sons, paused the hand holding the book, and said, "Say, your eldest lady is back and is changing clothes."

  Liu Zi nodded again and again, and smiled and made a gesture of "you can go to the eldest lady".

  Yuan Yunzhong snorted softly, turned the page again slowly with his slender and fair fingertips, and said, "I see!"

   Look at the book seriously.

  Liu Zi touched his head.

   Didn’t Master Yuan ask him to keep an eye on when the eldest lady will come back? Why is it that the eldest lady is back, and Mr. Yuan seems to be fine?

  He retreated without knowing why.

  Yuan Yunzhong flipped through another seven or eight pages of the book without haste, the study was quiet, only the sound of the flower servant pruning the flowers and trees in the yard could be heard.

  His fingers stayed between the pages of the book for a long time, and when the sound of pruning flowers and trees in the yard disappeared, he coughed softly.

  A young man ran in, and said in a respectful voice with low eyebrows: "My lord, what are your orders?"

  Yuan Yunzhong frowned in a rare way, and said, "Where is the sixth son?"

  The boy said: "He took Mr. Shao to Taohua Pavilion to buy wick cakes."

Yuan Yunzhong didn't speak for a long time, waved his hand, let him back down, got up and went to the inner room, was served by a young man who was personally serving him, picked out a royal blue brocade with flower and bird pattern and put it on, went out the door, Walk along the veranda to the front yard.

  While passing Song Jiyun's yard, he met Xiangzan.

   "Young Master Yuan." Xiangzan hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, holding a knife of rice paper in his hand.

  He nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the rice paper.

  Xiang Zan hurriedly said: "Our eldest lady has nothing to do in the afternoon. She is going to accompany the wife, the second and third misses to copy Buddhist scriptures for the master. The wife only has flower paper, so the eldest lady ordered me to come back and get the rice paper."

  When copying Buddhist scriptures for the deceased, the paper should also be clean.

   "Nothing?!" Yuan Yun said in the middle, looking at the rice paper with an extraordinarily deep gaze, like a starless and moonless night.

  Xiang Zan suddenly felt very uneasy, and hurriedly called out "Mr. Yuan".

  Yuan Yunzhong nodded slightly, and walked past her leisurely.

  Xiang Zan looked at his majestic back, shook her head in puzzlement, thought that Song Jiyun and the others were still waiting for their rice paper, hurriedly forgot all this, and trotted to Qian's place.
