Chapter 213 214: The sisterhood developed under the money transaction
Yun Zhao looked at Song Hongjiao's restrained appearance, and said with a smile: "The scenery in the palace is much more beautiful than in the palace, why don't we go outside for a walk."
The place where Yunzhao lives is next to the lake, hidden among the mountains and rivers, not only the scenery is pleasant, but it is also cooler than other places in the hot summer.
Yun Zhao walked with them for a while, then went to the gazebo to rest.
Song Hongjiao felt novelty everywhere, and didn't want to enjoy the scenery alone, so she asked Song Yexi to accompany her, the eldest lady went to change clothes, Xie Linlang couldn't bear the heat, so she simply went back to the pavilion.
Yun Zhao looked at her and said with a smile, "Why did you come back so soon?"
"It's too hot to walk under the sun." Xie Linlang laughed as she sat down.
Yun Zhao asked someone to serve tea, "Seeing that your complexion is not as good as before, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Xie Linlang had the opportunity to come in to see her, so she wanted to ask her for an idea, and this time she said directly without hesitation: "My family wants to make a marriage for me, but I don't want to."
Xie Linlang's age has indeed reached the time to marry. Song Yunzhao looked at her with a worried expression, and asked directly: "Since you don't want to, the Second Young Master will definitely stand up for you. Why are you still worried?"
"Second brother has done a good job in the capital. Xuanzhou wants to send second brother back to Xuanzhou and send someone else to take over." Xie Linlang's eyes turned cold when she said this.
Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment, she knew that the Xie family was not a brick and mortar family, especially if the house had more houses and the family grew bigger, there would naturally be more right and wrong.
Especially for an old business family like the Xie family. The merchant family doesn’t seem to be subject to many officials. There are many male concubines in the family, so there are many heirs. The entanglement of interests can be seen from generation to generation.
"Second Master Xie is not stupid, and he will definitely not go back." Song Yunzhao knew that Xie Jinshu was a very purposeful and tenacious person, and such a person would have his own world no matter where he went.
Xie Linlang glanced at Yun Zhao, "My eldest brother got married not long ago, and on the way to the academy, the horse lost control and nearly broke his leg."
Song Yunzhao was taken aback. She knew that Xie Linlang's family valued Xie Jinguan, the eldest son, and asked him to study and test his achievements, pouring all the hopes of the Xie family's family.
If the leg is really injured, the way to be an official will be broken.
"Is Mr. Xie all right now?"
"Fortunately, there is no serious problem, but I can't go to the academy to study in a short time."
Song Yunzhao understood that his leg was still injured, but it was not disabled. This is the luck of misfortune.
"My elder brother failed to succeed, so he turned his ideas on me and my second brother. My father has been traveling all year round for the Xie family. His health is not as good as when he was young. Now several other uncles are about to move, so my marriage is not surprising."
"Then what do you think?"
Song Yunzhao frowned slightly, she really had no good way to get her out of the predicament right now.
Firstly, Yunzhao’s own status in the palace is not stable, secondly, the Song family’s foundation in the capital is shallow, Xie’s family is also a merchant, and a serious official family will not marry a merchant’s daughter, unless the family can’t reveal the dowry of the daughter-in-law for emergency, or it is to be a stepmother.
"Don't worry, let's figure out a solution." Yun Zhao looked at Xie Linlang and comforted him, "Wait a few more months."
A few months later, when she gave birth to a child, the emperor would have an upright reason to reward the Song family. Once the Song family can be rewarded with a title by the emperor, even if it is an earl, then Xie Linlang's marriage will be bright.
Xie Linlang heard Yun Zhao say wait a few more months, and then she understood what she meant. She didn't want to cause Yun Zhao any trouble, so she smiled and said, "I know you miss me in your heart, and your words are enough."
It's worth it for the sisterhood they developed through this money transaction.
"It's easy to talk to your second brother, just tell the Xie family, I only recognize your second brother, no matter who the Xie family changes the name of the capital, I will not recognize it." Yun Zhao looked at Linlang and said.
When Xie Jinshu got in touch with her, many people in the Xie family must be envious, thinking that she was interested in the Xie family, but in fact she was not. She only valued the Xie Linlang brothers and sisters, what did the rest of the Xie family have to do with her?
Xie Linlang's eyes lit up when he heard Yun Zhao's words, and he seemed to relax, "Yun Zhao, thank you."
"Thank you? We help each other."
Seeing Song Yunzhao say these words in a serious manner, Xie Linlang's eyes were sore, "With your words, my second brother will be stable in the capital."
Song Yunzhao thought for a while and then said: "After the disaster relief last time, your second brother can be regarded as a name in the Ministry of Industry, so let him go around more. Qin Yuanjing used to work in the Ministry of Industry, and Qin Wanyi and I didn't get along well. It was not appropriate for you to go. Now Qin Yuanjing has been dismissed from office, so let your second brother be smarter. Business is business, but cheating is not allowed. If the evidence is convincing, I will not save him either."
Xie Linlang didn't quite understand Yun Zhao's words at first, but she understood when Yun Zhao mentioned Qin Yuanjing.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry has the least sense of existence. It is that officials are not willing to go to the Ministry of Industry. However, a lot of work in the Ministry of Industry is handed over to outsiders. If they can really get online, the second brother doesn’t have to carry Yunzhao’s banner in the capital.
"I will explain it carefully to my second brother." Xie Linlang was beaming, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on my second brother. If he dares to cheat, I will not be the first to spare him. I will definitely not let him drag your reputation down."
The eldest lady changed her clothes and came out. Seeing that Yun Zhao and Lin Lang were talking happily, she didn't bother her, knowing that they must have something to say, she simply went to find her daughter.
The lady counted the time and saw that it was almost time, so she took Song Yexi and Song Hongjiao back to bid farewell to Yun Zhao.
Yunzhao asked them to have dinner, but the eldest lady declined, and now the empress dowager was staring at her, because they went into the palace and killed the palace servants, so Yunzhao had to clean up the mess himself, and they tried not to cause her any trouble.
Yun Zhao didn't force him to stay, so he smiled and said, "Maybe we can meet again in a few days. It's rare to come out once, and my aunt will take everyone around more often. Be careful when going to a banquet. If you know that there is a banquet with bad intentions, you can directly refuse it. Don't worry, I will deal with other matters."
The eldest lady was happy, "Zhaoyi treats me as a piece of paper. I have to deal with outside affairs. We can't help you in the palace. You can only deal with it yourself."
Before leaving, Song Yexi took a look at Yunzhao, thinking that everyone rushed to the palace at the beginning, but now looking at the situation in the palace, she is very glad that she was not selected.
Otherwise, she might not be able to make a way out in this deep palace.
