Chapter 9 009: Just to tear your face apart
Seeing Song Yunzhao's astonished expression, Xie Linlang thought she was just surprised by the news, and said in a low voice: "My younger brother followed the elders of the family to do business in the capital, and met many people. He asked my brother to bring me news that a minister in the court wanted to write to His Majesty to open the draft."
Really this news, Song Yunzhao refreshed his impression of the Xie family.
The Xie family is much more powerful than she imagined, and the few words mentioned in the book.
Song Yunzhao tried his best to look shocked, and said, "Is the news accurate?"
Xie Linlang said: "It should be accurate. My brother said that many people in Dingnanbo's residence wanted to eat alone this time, and many people were privately dissatisfied. In the past few days, Dingnanbo has been impeached by the censor several times. However, His Majesty just suppressed the paper for the sake of Concubine Chu who died of illness."
"You're quite well informed." Song Yunzhao felt that he might have discovered a Jianghu Baixiaosheng.
"That is, the most important thing for us to do business is to pay attention to the changes in the court's laws and the movements of officials in the court. It is not easy for merchants to do business. The officials can't afford to offend anyone. We can only hold them carefully and respect them. Don't probe too hard."
Businessmen in later generations have a high status, and those who are rich are uncles. It is completely opposite to the time and space here. She saw that Xie Linlang didn't look aggrieved at all, and finally understood why she would rather not be a regular wife but also want to become a concubine of a noble family.
She wants to make a way for her brother who is studying at home.
Just for a moment, Song Yunzhao admired this little girl. She came from time travel and has two lifetimes of experience, so she can calm down and work steadily, but Xie Linlang is not.
"Now I understand why you want to be a concubine." Song Yunzhao said with a soft sigh.
Xie Linlang pursed her lips and smiled, "Third Miss..."
"Call me Yun Zhao."
Xie Linlang was taken aback for a moment, then regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite, and you should stop calling me Miss Cousin and call me Linlang. If you don't dislike me as your friend, I've earned it."
Song Yunzhao was amused, and he could sense that Xie Linlang's words were sincere, but there was also a bit of sadness in it. Life is always a bit unsatisfactory.
"Yun Zhao, don't worry about the matter in Nanbo's residence, just wait a few more days."
Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, she was not in a hurry, and she didn't want to give Song Qinghan a chance in this life to frame her in the Dingnanbo Mansion.
"It's a pity we can't go out, otherwise I can take you around the capital." Xie Linlang said regretfully.
Song Yunzhao also wanted to go out for a walk, "I can go out when my father comes back."
Mrs. Cai didn't like her, so she wouldn't let her go out at all. When she was in Nan Yu, she had her father's backing, so she could go out whenever she wanted. Although Cai shi tried to stop her five times out of ten times, she still had five days to go out to get some air.
Within two days, Song Yunzhao noticed Cai's anxiety, and even had a bad temper. Every morning, when he went to ask Mrs. An, he thought it would be bad luck for her. How could she, an old fox, let her find a way to attack her. She is really good at pretending to be a grandson these days, and it made her suffocate.
Song Yunzhao woke up this morning and his right eyelid twitched, feeling that something bad might happen.
When I went to the main courtyard to pay my respects to Mrs. Cai, I saw that Mrs. Song was there with Song Yexi.
Song Yunzhao took a deep breath, what was supposed to come always came, she raised her foot to enter the door, and stepped forward to salute politely, "Daughter to mother, and auntie to say hello."
Cai's eyelids didn't even lift, and he was already upset, but when he saw the bitter face of his little daughter, he became even more angry, and said, "Now you have learned the rules even better, and you actually asked your elders to wait for you here."
Song Yunzhao didn't know that Mrs. Cai was looking for trouble when he heard the voice. Her eyelids jumped early in the morning and she felt that this might be unlucky today. In order to avoid disaster from the sky, she deliberately came to the main courtyard earlier than before.
"Mother, why hasn't the eldest sister come yet? You asked the elders to wait for her here." Song Yunzhao threw the question back with his backhand. Your favorite eldest daughter hasn't arrived yet, so you have the nerve to trouble me?
Mrs. Cai was so angry that her face turned black, and she was about to reprimand when she heard the eldest lady say: "Third brother and sister, I know you have always favored Qinghan, but you can't treat Yun Zhao as a grass. When the third brother comes to the capital and finds out about this, I'm afraid I will feel distressed again."
Song Yunzhao listened to Da Furen's words, and silently praised her in his heart, showing a helpless and sad expression just right.
Chua:…
Song Yunzhao walked directly under Xie Linlang and sat down. Song Jinxuan was also beside her, but the two stood guard here more like a log than the other.
As soon as she sat down here, Song Qinghan arrived. Before Cai could open her mouth, the eldest lady slammed the words on Song Qinghan's head, "Qinghan, as the elder sister, you want to set an example for the younger sisters. How can you come so late and ask the elders to wait for you? What are you talking about? It's my own family. If it spreads, others will think that the Song family's tutor is no more than that."
Song Qinghan didn't sleep well last night, and came back from Dingnan Bo's mansion with a stomach full of anger. Chu Yuying deliberately invited a few friends to visit the Bo's house, knowing that she was there, and shamed her in front of everyone, but she still had to grit her teeth and endure it.
How did she know that the eldest aunt would come back today.
Sweeping the corners of his eyes, Song Yunzhao, who always came late, actually arrived early, which inevitably caused another internal injury. Mother was right, this younger sister came to restrain their mother and daughter.
Song Qinghan apologized under pressure, "Auntie said yes, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Ms. Cai immediately smoothed things over for her daughter, "Sister-in-law, I had a banquet in Nanbo's mansion yesterday, and it was a bit hard for Sylvia to help her aunt entertain the guests, so I came late today."
The eldest lady became angry when she heard this. Only Song Qinghan had such an opportunity, and her daughter didn't get any benefit at all, so she said: "The third sibling is right. If Qinghan is more generous and brings a few younger sisters, someone will share one or two for her. Why is it so hard?"
Mrs. Cai looked at the eldest lady, suppressed her impetuous heart, calmed down, and then said: "Sister-in-law, what you said, Ding Nanbo's house is very strict, and it's not my decision. Only Qinghan can go there, what can I do?"
"I can't help it, I still don't want to think of a way. Three younger siblings, Mrs. Ding Nanbo is your own sister." The eldest lady is really anxious, if this drags on, her daughter really can't even have a drink of soup, that's why she forced her to come here in front of several children today.
Just to tear her face apart, she looked at how Mrs. Cai was trying to evade.
