Chapter 116 117: Embarrassing Cai
Song Yunzhao failed to remember that He Lanyun is a female supporting role in the book, and there is no need to mention the female supporting family's family, unless the family has done something worth writing about the female supporting family.
Obviously, there is no such movement in the Yue family in the book, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't appear or she can't remember it.
"Auntie, I have no objection to marrying the Yue family, but we don't know much about the Yue family. Just because I'm a friend with the county lord, doesn't mean I have a relationship with the Zhenbei Palace. You just need to be clear about this. Sister Xi's marriage, you have to take the trouble to weigh it carefully for her."
The eldest lady nodded slightly, Yun Zhao's words were not much different from what she had expected before, her friendship with the county magistrate was not to have any relationship with Zhenbei Wangfu.
In this case, they don’t have to worry too much about marrying Yue’s family. It’s a happy event if they can get married. If they can’t, she can’t wrong her daughter.
"Jieyu said so, so I have a solid foundation in my heart." The eldest lady smiled, "Madam Yue asked me to go to the Buddhist temple to burn incense in a few days, then I will send her a promise letter when I go back."
This is what it means to look at each other.
"The Yue family is very positive about this marriage." Song Yunzhao laughed.
"Maybe it has something to do with the county lord. Thanks to Jieyu, the relationship between the county lord and Ye Xi is getting closer. If the county lord likes Ye Xi, the Yue family will naturally put more emphasis on it."
"It depends on Yue Shao's own opinion. It's not very important that the county lord likes sister Xi, but Yue Shao's attitude. If they marry sister Xi because of the county lord's attitude, I don't think the marriage will end."
The eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "What Jieyu said is true, but I didn't think of this for a while."
"Auntie has been really hard these days. It's nothing if you don't think about it for a while. You will think about it when you have time to think about it."
It’s really not easy for the eldest lady. Cai and Song Qinghan have been acting like moths because of their marriage, and her son and son-in-law rushed to the front line because of the fraud case.
The life of the mistress is not so easy.
This is just a major event, not to mention dealing with the usual trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Song Mansion, so it is very understandable why ancient times paid attention to being well-matched.
Women of low birth usually have a total of more than a dozen people in their family. Whether it is family affairs or in-laws, there are not many things throughout the year, but the big family is different. The Song family is not a big family and has a lot of affairs. Can ordinary people play around?
Of course not.
In the Red Mansion, when Lin Daiyu first entered Jia’s house, who would have known that the first cup of tea after dinner was actually mouthwash? If Lin Daiyu was reckless and drank it in one gulp, drinking this mouthwash as tea would become a big joke in her life.
In the future, when everyone rinses their mouths after eating, they will be able to think of that girl Lin who drank mouthwash as tea. How do you think a thin-skinned girl lives these days?
The lady was very upset when she heard what Yun Zhao said, and said with a smile: "Jieyu is lenient. Wherever there is hard work, it is all for the sake of her own children." After speaking, she smiled again, "The Yue family is a general. If our family is really engaged to the Yue family, will people think that Jieyu has ulterior motives?"
Song Yunzhao was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry so much. I am just a little Jieyu now, and there are no three princes and nine ministers in our family's court. Why can't I marry the Yue family? You don't have to worry about me. As long as the marriage is really good, you can do it yourself."
The eldest lady made sense after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, not now, our family will definitely go further in the future, and we will also be a backer for Jieyu at that time."
Song Yunzhao was delighted, "Brother won Tanhua, I'm already very good now."
Talking about this eldest lady is also very happy, she really never dreamed that her son would be able to get Tanhua, that is Tanhualang.
Thinking of her son, the eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao, "Although your elder brother has been released, his marriage has to be prepared now. Our family has a wave of matchmakers who come to his door to say goodbye to him. I am not sure what to do now."
Song Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment, indeed, it is time for the eldest cousin to marry a wife, Tanhua at this age is indeed a young talent.
"Auntie, is there a girl she likes?" Song Yunzhao asked.
The eldest lady shook her head, "I want to marry your brother a girl from the capital, but Uncle Ni asked me to wait."
Song Yunzhao understands that there may be someone for the eldest uncle, but it has not been decided yet.
"Then wait a little longer. Eldest brother has just taken office. Even if he wants to marry a wife, at least he has to wait for him to settle down in office." Song Yunzhao said.
The eldest lady was worried. If she had known earlier, she should have settled on her son's marriage earlier, so that he would get married when he was in high school. Now that it's released, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing to get married. If I get married while in office, I don't know if the woman's family will agree.
These are all things in the future, and the lady doesn't want to say it now to make Yun Zhao follow in trouble.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady changed the topic and talked about Song Jinxuan's matter, "The third brother's return date is coming soon, and I see that the third younger brother and sister want to make a marriage for Jinxuan."
Song Yunzhao was taken aback, "Madam should at least discuss this kind of important matter with my father."
The eldest lady hesitated, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Song Yunzhao looked at Mrs. Shang's expression, and after careful thought, she knew that Mrs. Cai was going to break the can. She had hated Aunt Che for a long time, and her relationship with her husband was getting worse and worse, so she didn't care what her husband thought. As long as she settled Song Jinxuan's marriage, could her father go his own way and insist on retiring after returning to Beijing?
Unless the man made a major mistake, it would be very difficult.
Song Yunzhao's face darkened, no matter from the perspective of the family or from a personal point of view, this matter cannot make the Cai family do anything wrong.
Since the eldest lady said this, she must have an idea in her mind, so she asked: "Auntie, I am in the deep palace, and many things are inconvenient. What do you think about my second sister, you may as well just tell me."
The eldest lady raised her head and looked at Yun Zhao when she heard this, "Third brothers and sisters want to make this happen. It is not easy for me, an eldest aunt who is in the next room and separated from the family, to intervene."
Song Yunzhao nodded, it would be okay if the family was not separated, but if the family is separated, there will be more ties.
"Since the third sibling has made up her mind, it may be very difficult to persuade her to change her mind. In my opinion, it is better for Jieyu to directly arrange a marriage with Jinxuan."
"Me?" Song Yunzhao was taken aback.
"Yes, your identities are different now. If it is released through your mouth, the third sibling will not dare to disobey even if they are dissatisfied."
Song Yunzhao thought it was true, she is now a concubine of the emperor, not only a daughter of the Song family, but also a high-ranking concubine.
"But I don't have anyone to choose. Does my aunt have a suitable candidate?" Song Yunzhao thought to himself that since the eldest lady said this, there must be someone to choose for her.
The eldest lady nodded as expected, "There are two suitable ones, one is your first cousin's classmate, and the other is the youngest son of Minister Taipusi."
The former one is okay, but the latter one really surprised Song Yunzhao, and asked, "My son?"
The lady nodded.
Minister Taipusi is her father's immediate boss. Of course, her father will definitely move to a nest when he comes back from the disaster relief. Minister Taipusi is thinking of marriage because he sees that her father has a good future.
I am really willing to marry my son-in-law to a daughter-in-law, but now that the Song family has her as Jieyu, and the eldest cousin as Tanhualang, they are about to take off, so I have to say that the imperial servant has made a decision.
"Did Auntie mention this matter to Aunt Che?" Song Yunzhao asked. With Aunt Che's temperament, she must have contacts with the eldest house in private.
Among them, the weight of Song Haoming is also very important. Her relationship with Song Haoyue is not good, and Song Haoming has a good relationship with her under the guidance of Aunt Che and Song Jinxuan. He did do something for her at the beginning. He is not too good in character but has no major shortcomings.
Comprehensively, if I must choose someone of my own in the third room, the eldest lady will think that she must value Song Yanming, which will increase the weight of Aunt Che's mother and child, so it is reasonable for the eldest lady to be willing to help Song Jinxuan.
The eldest lady nodded slightly, "To tell the truth from Jieyu, it was Aunt Che who begged me on my head, crying pitifully with snot and tears. Besides, Jinxuan's temperament has changed a lot since she came to Beijing, and I am willing to help."
When the lady said this, her face was a bit tangled, Song Yunzhao looked at it and smiled and said: "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it, you treat me well, I understand it in my heart, there is nothing I can't say."
The eldest lady sighed slightly, "I didn't want to provoke the mother-daughter relationship between you and the third sibling, so some words are hard to say."
"Do you still need to provoke me? I'm afraid that everyone in the capital knows about my relationship with my wife." Song Yunzhao was the first to blow up the thunder by himself, lest she really get promoted in the future, and others would impeach her for her unfilial piety.
Going the way of the enemy, leaving the enemy nowhere to go, making her hold her nose and be filial to Cai for the sake of her future, is harder than killing her.
Don't even think about it.
When the eldest lady heard Yun Zhao's words, she felt sorry for her, and her voice slowed down a bit, "The third younger brother and sister are becoming more and more unscrupulous. If she really takes Jinxuan's marriage into her hands, Bo Ming's marriage will also be difficult in the future."
Song Jinxuan and Song Yanming are siblings of the same mother. This cannot be changed. If Song Jinxuan's marriage is delayed, it will naturally affect Song Yanming.
She was originally a concubine, if the marriage is still worrying, which good girl is willing to jump into this pit of fire?
Song Yunzhao's expression became serious, he looked at the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, I understand what you mean."
The eldest lady showed a wry smile, "If I help Aunt Che in the open, it's tantamount to giving someone a handle. In the future, the matter of the third room is not good. However, if the third sibling is left to torment like this, if Bo Ming can't concentrate on studying because of these trivial matters, his future will be ruined."
If Song Haoming cannot stand up, who will Yun Zhao use to control Cai and Song Haoyue in the future?
The eldest lady has to think about this, but she really can't stretch her hands too far as an aunt. She also has children, so she has to consider her reputation.
This matter really depends on Yun Zhao himself.
"Jieyu's words are out of the question. It's a family that naturally has to help each other. If it wasn't for the separation of the family and I can't do things well, I wouldn't bother Jieyu to come forward."
"That's what I should do." Song Yunzhao didn't refuse, she couldn't let Mrs. Cai cut off her way out, "Auntie, which one does Aunt Che like?"
"Aunt Che chose Taipusi Qing's family."
Song Yunzhao was not surprised, and asked carefully: "How about the youngest son of the Qing family in Taipusi?"
"Master Yang's official reputation in the capital is not bad, but it is unlikely that he will go up in a place like Taipu Temple. The youngest son, Yang Shu, was awarded the title of a scholar. He passed the exam once but failed. I have asked people to inquire carefully. Yang Shu is not very aggressive in his studies, and it is unlikely that he will want to be awarded an official in the imperial examination in the future."
Song Yunzhao frowned slightly. If he didn’t take the imperial examination route, he would not be able to be an official in the future.
The eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao's dissatisfied expression, and said softly: "Mr. Yang is not good at this point, but his nature is not bad except for being playful. It is precisely because Mr. Yang's future is not very bright that Jinxuan can fall into Mrs. Yang's eyes."
Song Yunzhao sighed in his heart. There was nothing he could do about it. Song Jinxuan was very restricted by her status as a concubine. Unless she was very outstanding, but Cai was suppressing her. Song Jinxuan herself could not become famous like Song Qinghan in the early years.
If she has a better reputation than Song Qinghan, isn't she asking for her own death?
The eldest lady finally said, "Jinxuan is a concubine. If she marries Yang Shu, the legitimate son, then her children will be the descendants of the concubine."
Even if the son born to a child born to a concubine is a descendant, he is still a descendant.
Song Yunzhao understands, Madam, this means that Song Jinxuan's marriage to Yang Shuneng can cross classes.
Aunt Che chose the Yang family, I'm afraid she also had such thoughts in mind.
Thinking about it again, it is also a good thing for Song Yanming to have a brother-in-law who is a direct descendant.
The difference between a concubine and a concubine, the identity of being a concubine is too attractive to Song Jinxuan.
Not to mention that Yang Shu's comprehensive conditions are not bad, except that he is not very motivated, and he doesn't have the bad habit of teasing cats and dogs. Even if there is such a little flaw, Aunt Che, mother and daughter are probably willing.
"Is the Yang family safe?" Song Yunzhao asked, don't something go wrong halfway, making it hard for Song Jinxuan.
"This marriage was brought up by the Yang family, and the person who came to tell me was the wife of the third brother's colleague." The lady said.
Proposed marriage to Song Jinxuan, but the Yang family was looking for the eldest lady. It can be seen that the Yang family should know something about the third bedroom. Under such circumstances, they still want to choose Song Jinxuan. Song Yunzhao sighed slightly.
"Since that's the case, let's make it a deal." Song Yunzhao didn't want to cause any complications, and Song Jinxuan's marriage was settled, so Cai's family would not be a demon. "Auntie, don't worry about this, I will send someone to the mansion later."
The eldest lady responded, "This is the best."
"You say hello to the Yang family, and when I pass the letter back, their family will come to propose marriage."
"This is what it should be." The eldest lady responded with a full mouth.
After sending the eldest lady away, Song Yunzhao pondered how to do this matter better. After thinking about it, she couldn't bypass the emperor. She had to use the name of the emperor to suppress Cai.
When Feng Yi came to have dinner in the evening, she told the story.
Feng Yi didn't take it seriously, Yun Zhao can make decisions about the marriage of a concubine in the Song family, "If you are satisfied, you can decide."
"I really thought, isn't this because I'm afraid my mother will be dissatisfied?" Song Yunzhao sighed, "A few years ago, my relationship with Aunt Che's mother and daughter was not good. My mother didn't like me because she was strong. Aunt Che was a favorite with high wrists, and the two fought evenly. I became grass on the wall, and everyone wanted to blow it."
Feng Yi heard the words and said displeased: "Then you still help them?"
"However, our relationship has eased in the past two years. Your Majesty, you know that my relationship with my mother and younger brother is not good. Aunt Che, mother and daughter have helped me a lot since I came to Beijing. It is mutual benefit."
Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao with a weird expression. She dared to tell herself about the shady things in her family. In front of him, who in the harem was not brothers and sisters who were born in concubine and had a harmonious family. She was the only one who could tell her what she couldn't.
If Song Yunzhao knew what Feng Yi was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, so of course he had to say, these things are not secrets, as long as you search carefully, you can find out. Besides, she will have to use Song Haoming in the future. Now that she has passed Ming Road, the emperor will not be surprised or suspect her when ordering people around in the future.
Feng Yi saw Song Yunzhao being so sincere, so he was going to give her some credit, "You want me to give her a marriage?"
Song Yunzhao was surprised, "How did this happen? My elder brother won the prize of Tanhua but didn't get the marriage gift from His Majesty. How could the second sister get it?"
Feng Yi felt weird, what did you say?
Does this mean that he wants to give Song Zhenran a marriage?
Just as she was thinking this way, she heard Yun Zhao say again: "My mother hates me deeply. If I decide the second sister's marriage, she will definitely jump up and oppose it. If it is because of me that the second sister's lifelong event is ruined, I want to borrow the name of the emperor."
Feng Yi understood, and glanced at Yun Zhao, "You are thoughtful."
"Then there is no way, I am a good-hearted person."
Feng Yi:...
This face is comparable to a city wall.
Facing Feng Yi's speechless expression, Song Yunzhao pretended not to notice, hugged his arm and pulled him to sit on the soft couch, and said with a smile: "I feel that since our family has a good relationship, this day will go smoothly, and even my second sister's marriage is about to be settled."
Feng Yi thought about Yun Zhao telling her about the situation of Yang Shouchen's youngest son Yang Shu, thinking that she was smart because she was smart, but sometimes she was also stupid.
Yang Shu's half-baked level, if he wanted to point out Song Xunran as a Tanhua, he would have to wait, plus he himself is not motivated and loves to read, the Yang family didn't like the Song family to have a Tanhua, but they liked Yunzhao, Jieyu.
Yun Zhao is a Jieyu now, and may go higher in the future. If he can give birth to a prince again, Yang Shu himself will be useless when his position is stabilized in the future, but if Yang Shu and Song Jinxuan give birth to a son, they can count on Shang Yunzhao to support him in the future.
However, Feng Yi doesn't think there's anything wrong with such small thoughts. As long as one's temperament is acceptable, who can say that he doesn't have his own small thoughts?
Yun Zhao didn't expect this, and Feng Yi didn't remind her that this is all for the future.
After Song Jinxuan finished speaking, Song Yunzhao explained Song Yexi's marriage in front of the emperor, and she deliberately asked in a hesitant tone: "Your Majesty, there will be no problem marrying the Yue family, right?"
Feng Yi really thought about who Yue Shao was, but he didn't think about it. Yue Shao's father knew something, so he said: "The Yue family behaves well, and this marriage is acceptable."
Song Yunzhao blinked and looked at the emperor, "You know that's not what I asked."
"Then what do you mean?" Feng Yi smiled.
Song Yunzhao snorted, "I don't want to say it, anyway, you just need to know it in your heart. If someone impeaches me in the future, I will have you as my backer."
How could Feng Yi not know Yun Zhao's careful thinking, and was amused by her words, "Although the Yue family was born as a general, the sons of the general's family are not allowed to marry a wife? The court will not require people to marry their daughter-in-law, you are thinking too much."
"Hey, I don't want to think about it so much. I can't stand how many people are staring at me now. I'm very scared. I can only ask the emperor to give me courage."
Feng Yi gave a "tsk", "You dare to say it."
"I don't do anything wrong, and I have nothing to say to others. Besides, you are not someone else. If I don't discuss things with you, who can I go to?"
Feng Yi glared at Yun Zhao, his words made sense, but it always felt wrong.
Song Yunzhao looked at the emperor's face and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, Feng Yi's face darkened, and he picked him up and put him in the tent.
Speaking of which he has been on the throne for so long, a child is indeed going to be born in this palace.
In the full harem, there is only one person he likes, and she can only give birth to her.
The lamp beads were shining brightly, the bed curtains were shaking slightly, and in the late autumn night, wrapped in the cold night, the two were tightly entangled.
The next day Song Yunzhao got up early to send the emperor to the court, his listless eyelids could hardly be opened, you said it was only four o'clock in the morning.
The two of them went to bed late together. Why is the emperor in such good spirits? There is no sign of exhaustion from fighting in the middle of the night.
The male protagonist is really not something that ordinary people can do. Anyway, after Song Yunzhao sent the person away, he immediately went back and fell asleep and went back to sleep.
Although it is said that there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields, but if this continues, she feels that a record may have to be broken.
Slept until the sun was up, Song Yunzhao woke up full of energy, had a late breakfast, and then happily went to the study to write a letter back to the Song family.
She really likes to do such things as embarrassing Cai,
Just think about Cai's face when she saw the letter, she can jump three feet high in place, it's really not too happy.
Today there will be more updates, two more chapters, a total of 10,000 words will be updated, and there will be another chapter in the future, so cute.
