Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 94 This heavy snow always gives people an ominous omen

It snowed for the second time since the beginning of winter in Beijing.

The heavy snow this time was much heavier than the previous one, and the snow was up to the knees.

When the sky was still dark, the girl in Shen's house came over with thick snow and said that the road was slippery because of the heavy snow, so there was no need to go there to say hello today.

Qiu Yun thanked her and sent the maid away, and then she returned to the house.

The door was opened for just a moment, and the cold air from outside rushed into the house. Song Jinyue was guarding the charcoal basin to warm up the fire, and the cold wind suddenly rushed in through his collar.

Song Jinyue raised her hands and tightened her collar, sighing: "The heavy snow came so suddenly, I don't know what it's like outside the city."

Qiu Yun took the hot tea from the table and handed it over, looked at the door of the room, and replied melancholy: "I'm afraid life will be difficult."

The snow inside the city is so thick, and the ground inside the city is paved with bluestone slabs. Outside the city, apart from the official roads paved with gravel and sand, most of the rural villages have muddy dirt roads.

Before the heavy snowfall, there was no sign, so I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to travel, but I didn’t know whether there would be a famine.

"I guess the imperial court will open a warehouse to store grain." Song Jinyue murmured.

By afternoon, the snow in the Duke's Mansion had been cleared into a pile by the servants, and the ground was clean and easy to walk on.

Song Jinyue did not step out of Mingzhuxuan, and was in a daze inside the house.

The weather is really bad right now, and I don’t know if anything will happen in the capital.

Over at the examination room, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult for students taking the scientific examination in this subject.

After all, the examination room cannot compare to home.

"Qiu Yun, go ask Miss Qin and see if Mr. Qin has anything to prepare. This year is not as good as in the past, but it is much colder. Mr. Qin must not suffer from this, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.

, telling her not to hide it, just send someone to tell her if she needs anything."

Song Jinyue couldn't help but think of Qin Sheng. In a few days, it would be the day of the scientific examination.

This winter's imperial examination will be much more difficult than in previous years.

Since there was some malpractice in the imperial examination in the first half of the year, and the results of the first half of the year were invalidated, this additional scientific examination was added in the winter.

The Qin family brother and sister were originally going to Beijing next year to participate in next year's scientific examination. This unexpected incident forced them to come to the capital ahead of schedule.

"Yes, maid, go and ask now."

After Qiu Yun walked out, Song Jinyue sat alone in front of the desk again and started to stare blankly.

The jade pendant that was given to her aunt a few days ago is now pregnant again.

She thought about how to prevent the two of them from having any chance of making a comeback this time. It was the birthday of the Queen Mother?

The second day of the scientific examination was the birthday of the Queen Mother. On the occasion, Mrs. Shen wanted to take the two sisters into the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

At that moment, Song Jinyue had an idea.

The Queen Mother's birthday is a good time.

I just don’t know what He Yuan frame will do if the scandal between the two of them is revealed in public.

A prince who had an affair with his fiancée's step-sister before marriage, whose reputation has been completely ruined, wants to ascend to that throne? He Yuan frame, He Yuan frame.

In this life, she has been planning for so long just to prevent him from ever turning around.

That throne was destined to be beyond his reach in this life.

Thinking of this, Song Jinyue felt much relieved.

This upcoming drama made her morale high.

When Qiu Yun came back, Qin Wan was followed behind her.

"Second Miss Song." Qin Wan bowed and bowed.

Song Jinyue hurriedly asked Qiu Yun to help Qin Wan up, and said, "Why are you running out in this cold weather? Just let Qiu Yun go and answer the question."

"It's okay." Qin Wan explained with a smile. She always had a gentle look on her face, which made people feel naturally close to her just by looking at her.

"Come to find me, but what's the matter?"

Qin Wan nodded and said, "I want to visit my brother tomorrow."

It had been several days since she had visited her brother, and the scientific examination was approaching. Qin Wan wanted to see her brother, but she was too embarrassed to come and explain to Song Jinyue.

Today, Miss Song Er sent her maid to ask questions, so she shamelessly brought up the matter.

"Well, please prepare yourself. I'll ask the driver to take you there tomorrow."

There was heavy snow today and the roads were closed. Although the snow on the streets of the capital has probably been cleared away, I was worried that Qin Wan's delicate body would not be able to withstand the cold in this winter.

Qin Wan then said goodbye and retreated.

Song Jinyue asked the small kitchen to make more mutton soup today for everyone to use together to get rid of the cold.

Lunch was cooked by themselves in the small kitchen.

Song Jinyue ordered people to heat the food brought from the big kitchen on the stove and eat it in the evening.

Everyone was drinking mutton soup, and outside the gate of Mingzhuxuan, there was a woman in a gray-brown jacket who poked her head inside in a panic.

Grandma Yuan was clearing away the dishes and walked out of the room. She saw the woman in gray-brown clothes at the door who was acting sneakily.

"Who?" Nanny Yuan shouted towards the entrance of the courtyard.

The old woman then cautiously leaned out, bowed to Grandma Yuan, and said: "Mammy, this old slave is Mrs. Shen from the back door. I came to see the second young lady if I have something to do."

Grandma Yuan handed the bowl and chopsticks to Jiao Ming and asked her to carry them down. Then she waved the old lady to come in. However, she did not let the old lady go directly into the back room, but asked her to wait under the corridor.

Song Jinyue was lying on the couch, flipping through a travel diary in her hand.

"Second Miss, Mrs. Shen from the back door is here, saying she has something to do with you." Grandma Yuan said softly.

Song Jinyue paused for a moment, sat up, put the travel notes in her hand on a low stool aside, and replied, "Let her in."

"yes."

After Nanny Yuan retreated, Song Jinyue lowered her head and straightened her clothes, muttering to herself about Nanny Shen's purpose.

This woman, who surrendered in front of her a few days ago, is a money-loving person.

Song Jinyue asked Qiu Yun to prepare some money, and after a while she rewarded the nanny.

I just don’t know what the purpose of Grandma Shen’s visit today is.

When they entered the house, they saw Nanny Shen looking around the room, meeting Song Jinyue's eyes, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Second Miss."

"Aunt Shen, get up and answer the question."

Aunt Shen then stood up tremblingly, and was about to approach Song Jinyue, but she turned around and saw Qiu Yun staring at her, and took a step back, but stopped talking.

"It's okay, Aunt Shen, just say it," Song Jinyue motioned to Qiu Yun to close the door, and then asked Aunt Shen to sit down and talk.

Aunt Shen pursed her lips, and with a sudden heartbeat, she said, "There is a young man outside who wants to see the second young lady."

Song Jinyue looked at Aunt Shen suspiciously.

He motioned for her to continue.

"That boy said he was serving Mr. Xu from Jiangnan..."

Song Jinyue's heart sank, and there was an ominous omen in her heart.

"What did you say?"

Aunt Shen didn't know that Mr. Xu from Jiangnan was Miss Hua's fiancé. Seeing the young man crying, he was so anxious that he knelt down and begged her to deliver the message. It didn't look like he was cheating.

Aunt Shen did not dare to make this matter public, and she guessed in her heart that Mr. Xu was not the second lady's sweetheart.
