Chapter 153: A plan that ends up in vain
Ji Yun and his daughter had lunch at the Ji family and happily returned to the Song family. Song Sui came back very late that day, and Ji Yun had no chance to talk to him... The next morning, Song Sui brought Liang to the main courtyard. Ji Yun sent three concubines and Song Ruochi outside the room and told him directly, "The princess will not choose a concubine to marry her."
"How did this happen? I have already promised my elder brother that Liu Yatou would marry him." Song Sui's face looked a little unfair.
Although Ji Yun expected that Song Sui would definitely make the decision, she was still a little angry when she heard him admit it in person and asked coldly: "The princess hasn't agreed to this matter yet, how could the master agree to it first?"
Song Sui was also very angry when he was questioned, "I was at home and she was my daughter. There was no need to ask her about this. You are also a woman's opinion, so she is willful. I decided to let Liu Yatou and An Ruitang Jiu Yatou be dowry concubines."
"Master, don't forget that the princess is your daughter, but she is also the princess who is the imperial concubine. The prince is the best, and the prince is the first-class. The princess is the first-class. The princess is considering that you are her father and will not do anything to you, but the Empress Dowager sent all the people around the princess. You did not follow the princess' wishes and made a decision without authorization. Then you will be charged with despising the royal family. Not to mention the official position, I am afraid that the master should go to the prison." Ji Yun hated Song Sui for plotting against her in this matter, and spoke at all politely, and spoke with mockery.
Song Sui's face turned pale and black. He slapped the table and said sternly: "You hateful woman, you must have urged Xi'er to make her do whatever she wants."
"Master, it's better not to call the princess' nickname, so as not to be heard by others and think that the Song family is a family without rules." Ji Yun smiled unannoyed.
Song Sui panted and stared at her.
Ji Yun looked at him without fear.
After a moment of fighting with eyes, Song Sui was defeated. Ji Yun had children and daughters, and her children were obviously inclined toward her. Her parents' father and brother were in high positions and had a high position and power. He started to make trouble. He couldn't get any benefits. He got up and left without going to the main courtyard for several days.
What Song Sui cares most about is his official position. His niece and niece who are a concubine can help his daughter and brother. This is a good thing. He cannot go there and does not suffer much damage to him. He was angry for a few days and then left it open, but he forgot to report the situation to Mr. Song.
Old Master Song waited for a few days, but did not see Song Sui come to reply. He could not find Song Sui who went out early and returned late. Early that morning, Ji Yun went to Songheyuan to pay his respects and asked directly, "From the third family, have you negotiated with Xi'er what the third family told you?"
"Old Master, the princess said that it would be enough for her to marry from a foreign land alone. There is no reason why other sisters should be separated by their flesh and blood." Ji Yun is the daughter-in-law, so she naturally cannot say it in front of Mr. Song like Song Sui, and changed her other words.
Old Master Song showed a gratified expression on his face, and stroked his beard and said, "Xi'er is a kind-hearted and affectionate child. This idea is her love for her sisters. It is just because she wants to marry far away that the family lets her sisters accompany her. When she gets married there, someone will talk, which can relieve her homesickness."
Ji Yun owed her body and said, "What the old man said is very much, but the princess said that her daughter's family is delicate and she is far away from her hometown. She will inevitably feel depressed and depressed. When the time comes, she will cry and add sadness. Why bother? Besides, her mother's family is far away and she cannot help. She plans to pick up a few more loyal servants and take them over, and have capable people outside to take care of her, so that she can live a better life in the back house."
"Everyone in my daughter's house is not very thoughtful, just go with her with a cheerful personality."
"The young city lord has been familiar with Buddhist scriptures since he was a child and is a person who likes quietness. I heard from the princess that the young city lord doesn't like people who are too noisy."
Old Master Song stared at Ji Yun with a sharp look, "From the third family, Xi'er is your biological child. She has been weak since childhood. Of course you love her, but you should have a degree of love for your daughter. You should know that spoiling your son is like killing your son. Jealousy is a seven-thing. As a wife, you should be virtuous and generous. As a mother, you should teach her this principle well."
"Old Master, the concubines sent by various countries must be carefully selected. If there are outstanding features, the princess is the main wife and has a title. The young city lord is not the one who favors and kills his wife. No matter how good the concubines do, they can't surpass her. However, the concubines sent by the family have the same status as theirs and their status is even worse. If there is a quarrel, would the princess be more favorable? Or would it be better to help?" The Ji family thought that Old Master Song was difficult to deal with, so they had already discussed it. Ji Yun naturally responded to it at this time.
"I was afraid that these concubines would compete for favor, so I asked Xi'er to take her sisters over. Xi'er was weak. If the child was in trouble, the children born by her sister would always be closer to this than those born by others." Old Master Song looked kind and planned for his granddaughter.
Ji Yun was so angry that he was so angry that he could not say such bad things about his grandfather? He suppressed his anger and stood up and said, "Old Master, if you have something to say, please forgive me if you are rude."
"If you have anything to say, it's okay."
"The eight people chosen by the old man, not to mention anything else, are no longer as good as the princess in terms of appearance. They are not as beautiful as the legitimate wife and concubines. How can the young city lord like them? What is the use of not looking down on them?" Ji Yun said this bluntly and a little rude, implying that Ye Shuhua is greedy and beautiful, but he must choose the beautiful one.
If Mr. Song insisted that Song Ruoxi take her concubine, then the appearance of these two concubines would be better than Song Ruoxi, but Song Ruoxi's appearance is first-class. If you want to find two from the Song clan, let alone surpass her, it would be not easy to even be as beautiful as her.
After a moment of silence, Old Master Song narrowed his eyes and said, "The third family's words are sharp and they have the style of being a father. It's good, very good."
Ji Yun knew that this was not praise, it was ridicule, and she lowered her head and refused to respond.
Old Master Song looked at Ji Yun with complicated eyes. He read that right. Ji is a capable person, but it’s a pity that he is not in the same position as the Song family. Since her mother and daughter insist on resolutely, if he forces him, he will definitely feel resentful. For nothing, the matter of dowrying mothers can only be ignored.
Although the matter failed, Old Master Song also let it go, but he felt uncomfortable because his daughter-in-law refuted his face like this. He criticized Ji Yun and said, "You have been a wife of the Song family for twenty years, and you have children and daughters. The one who is buried a hundred years later is also the tomb of the Song family. You must know how to weigh it."
"The old man's teachings, my daughter-in-law will remember them." Ji Yun responded respectfully.
"You don't have to worry about the common affairs at home, and focus on preparing for the princess's marriage." Old Master Song punished Ji Yun for being disobedient.
"The daughter-in-law obeyed the old man's instructions and sent the account book to the second sister-in-law in a while. If the old man is fine, the daughter-in-law will sue her first." Ji Yun didn't care whether the housekeeper was at all. She went out and went back to Zhuyinyuan, sorted the account book, and asked Rong Qiao to send it to Ouyang.
When Ouyang received the account book, he was startled. After changing his clothes, he came over to ask about the situation.
Ji Yun didn't hide it from her and told her about the matter.
Ouyang sneered after hearing this, "The old man has a good idea."
"Xi'er has been well recuperated for a long time, and her monthly days are also accurate, so there is no need to worry about her offspring." Ji Yun couldn't hear anyone saying bad things about Song Ruoxi, especially for women, this kind of thing is a big taboo and cannot be forgiven for Old Master Song.
"Xi'er is a blessed person. After marrying, she will be able to hold two in three years." Ouyang said with a smile.
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words."
"You are so good, throw all these troubles to me and enjoy your own happiness." Ouyang sighed.
"Second sister-in-law, you and I have a good relationship. I will advise you. The fourth brother and sister have given birth to a legitimate son. Sooner or later, all the family belongs to the fourth wife. You should get out of this housekeeper's business sooner or later."
"I don't want to be a housekeeper anymore. When my fourth brother and sister are out of confinement, I will hand over the matter so that the old lady can ask questions every day."
The sisters-in-law chatted for a while, and Ouyang went back.
The sunrise and sunset, a few days passed, and on the sixth day of the seventh month, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Prison selected five auspicious days for marriage. Girls in the Fujian Kingdom usually choose women to get married when they get married when they get married when they get married when they get married when they get married when they get married when they get married. Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi are in special circumstances. Their husbands are not from Fujian Kingdom, so the emperor decided to let them get married after they get married after they get married.
Song Ruoxi has reached the heading of the palace, and the auspicious day is chosen on October 28 this year. Zhou Siyi will not reach the heading of the palace on November 4th, and the auspicious day is set on March 16th next year.
When the date was sent to the Song family, Ji Yun was anxious. She thought that the auspicious day would be chosen as the first day of next year, but she decided to be this year. Qingyuan is far away from Dengying City, and Song Ruoxi will set off for Dengying City at the end of August. She only stayed at home for more than a month. She couldn't bear it, but she was worried. She held Song Ruoxi's hand and said, "Xi'er, you and I don't know the situation of Dengying City. Even if you are careful and do it properly, some people and some things cannot be avoided. You must be careful in everything. My mother is far away and can't protect you. In the future, you will have to rely on you to explore it yourself."
Song Ruoxi was so amused that this was the seventeenth time she had heard similar words in the past few days. She was moved by Ji Yun's concerns and understood them very well. She said the same comforting words for the seventeenth time, "Mom, don't worry so much, I will live a good life."
"Mom is so worried. How can you handle it at your young age?" Ji Yun stroked Song Ruoxi's hair, her eyes were confused. She was completely unscrupulous about what her daughter would meet.
"Mom, you have taught me so many things and found a few loyal servants to follow me. No matter what the matter is, I can handle it, so don't worry!" Song Ruoxi continued to comfort her.
Just as Ji Yun was worried about Song Ruoxi's married life, something happened before her.
Ye Shuhua chose to set off on July 15th to return to Dengyingcheng.
Chen Mo has been here for several months. He will not wait here until next year to take Zhou Siyi back to Heguo with him, and choose to return to his country on July 12th. When the spring of next year begins, the Fujian Emperor will send someone to escort Zhou Siyi to Heguo to get married to him.
On July 10, Emperor Fujian held a farewell dinner for Ye Shuhua and Chen Mo who were about to leave Qingyuan, and specially approved Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi to attend, so that the two unmarried couples who were about to part.
