Enter the Room

When the news about what happened between Song Tao and the eldest lady reached Song Jiyun's ears, she had just returned from Mr. Song Shiyi's house and was changing clothes in the gauze cupboard.

She sat in front of the mirror, picked out some balm from the red lacquered mother-of-pearl box, and gently applied it on her hands while saying, "What happened next? How did they discuss it?"

Aunt Zheng curled her lips in disapproval, and did not even call her "Miss Tao", but said directly: "Song Tao said that it was for Master Tianbao that Master Song could not be allowed to wake up. Otherwise, they would still be beaten and scolded by Master Song. I'm young, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Master Song will turn his anger on the eldest wife, and she will make money by opening a kiln factory, and spend her days and nights outside, imitating Master Song's friends and taking in concubines, and not respecting the eldest wife."

Song Jiyun sneered and lowered his head to choose the headdress to wear in the makeup package: "Then what does the eldest lady say?"

"The eldest lady doesn't believe it. She said that Mr. Song is very stingy. He wants to take advantage of others even if he goes out for a drink. Isn't that right?" Sister Zheng said, "Song Tao said it's because Mr. Song has no money now. She also said Why do men become bad when they have money? Tell the eldest lady not to trust Master Song too much. He also said that if Master Song took the eldest lady seriously, he would not beat the eldest lady in front of them and the servants. "

Song Jiuyun thought that he would not have to go out later and would only have to accompany Mr. Qian for dinner, so he picked out a purple vine silk hairpin.

"The eldest lady was a little shaken." Aunt Zheng saw her and hurriedly helped her put on the hairpin. She also turned around to get a target scope. "Song Tao saw her and said that she did this for Master Tianbao. If Master Song wakes up, , takes charge of the kiln factory, and will give the money he earns to whomever he wants in the future? But she is different, she is from a girl’s family, and she will get married one day. When she gets married, Master Tianbao will also grow up, which is just right Isn’t it a hundred times better to leave the kiln factory to Master Tianbao than to leave the kiln factory to Mr. Song?”

"So, the eldest lady is tempted." Song Jiyun took a target mirror and looked at the silk flowers in his hair. He thought they looked pretty good and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes!" Nanny Zheng nodded and helped Song Jiuyun pack the jewelry in front of the mirror. "The eldest lady said that it won't be too late for Mr. Song to wake up after Song Tao gets a handle on the kiln factory."

I'm afraid Song Tao doesn't think so.

Song Jiuyun's jaw head.

Aunt Zheng hesitated for a moment and said: "However, the eldest lady also said that after you went to Mr. Eleven's place, everyone would know that Mr. Song was unconscious and go to visit Mr. Song. If the secret was exposed, it would be troublesome. .”

"Oh!" Song Jiyun said with interest, "What did Song Tao say?"

"Song Tao said that about the opening of the kiln factory, invitations have not yet been sent to the Song family." Aunt Zheng said, "Instead of letting the Song family come to visit Mr. Song, it is better for them to turn from passive to active and rush to visit before they can." Master Song previously sent his servants to send invitations to various families, and the people who receive the invitations will definitely ask about Master Song's condition, and then they will say that Master Song is fine and just see you when the business is in full swing."

"I underestimated her." After hearing this, Song Jiyun stood up and sat down on the Arhat bed near the window, served by Aunt Zheng. He took a sip of tea and said, "When everyone asks when the opening comes, you can probably say that Song My master's condition suddenly worsened, and we couldn't delay the auspicious time, so we had no choice but to have her host the opening ceremony in place of her father."

"As you said," said Nanny Zheng. At Song Jiyun's signal, she sat on the embroidered pier beside Song Jiyun. "Song Tao gave the eldest lady such an idea. But the eldest lady was still very worried. She was afraid Some people will still visit Master Song, but they are afraid that someone will insist on Master Song hosting the grand opening."

Song Jiyun poured a cup of tea for Grandma Zheng and asked her to moisten her throat.

Aunt Zheng thanked her and continued: "Song Tao made a bet with the eldest lady. She said that if everything went as she said, the eldest lady would stand by her wholeheartedly from now on, and whatever she said would be whatever happened. If there is a change, then she will listen to the eldest lady and do whatever the eldest lady asks her to do."

Song Jiyun chuckled and said, "According to Madam's temperament, she should have agreed."

"The eldest lady agreed." Madam Zheng said, "The eldest lady not only agreed, but also made Song Tao promise that when young master Tianbao turns sixteen, he will hand over the kiln factory to young master Tianbao to take care of it. Song Tao also agreed."

The two of them were talking in a low voice, and the hairpin guarding the door suddenly said loudly: "Miss, Mr. Song sent a boy to deliver an invitation, saying that Mr. Song's kiln factory will open in two days. Please come over and watch the ceremony, Miss."

Song Jiyun and Aunt Zheng smiled and exchanged glances.

In the Yinyu Hall, Yuan Yunzhong, who was lying on the drunkard's chair and reading a book, looked at Liuzi's gestures, paused in his hand holding the book, and said, "You said, your eldest lady is back and is changing clothes."

Liuzi nodded repeatedly and smiled as he gestured "You can go find the eldest lady."

Yuan Yunzhong snorted softly, slowly turned the page again with his long white fingertips, and said: "I know!"

Read the book seriously.

Liuzi touched his head.

Didn't Mr. Yuan ask him to keep an eye on when the eldest lady would come back? Why is it that Young Master Yuan seems to be fine when the eldest lady comes back?

He backed away without knowing why.

Yuan Yunzhong calmly flipped through another seven or eight pages of the book. The study was quiet, and he could only hear the sound of flower servants pruning flowers and trees in the yard.

His fingers stayed between the pages of the book for a long time. When the sound of pruning flowers and trees in the yard disappeared, he coughed lightly.

A young boy ran in, lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Sir, what are your orders?"

Yuan Yunzhong frowned in a rare way and said, "Where is Liu Zi?"

The boy said: "He took Mr. Shao to Taohua Pavilion to buy wick cakes."

Yuan Yunzhong didn't speak for a long time, waved his hand and asked him to retreat. He got up and went to the inner room. He was served by a boy who was personally serving him. He picked a sapphire blue brocade dress with flowers and birds pattern and put it on before going out. Stroll along the verandah to the front yard.

When passing by Song Jiyun's courtyard, he met a fragrant hairpin.

"Master Yuan." Xiang Dahan hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, holding a knife of rice paper in his hand.

He nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the rice paper.

Xianghan said hurriedly: "The eldest lady in our family has nothing to do in the afternoon. She plans to accompany the wife, the second lady, and the third lady to copy Buddhist scriptures for the master. The wife only has flower paper, so the eldest lady asked me to come back to get a knife and rice paper."

When copying Buddhist scriptures for deceased people, the paper must also be pure and clean.

"Is nothing wrong?!" Yuan Yunzhong said, his eyes looking at the rice paper looked particularly deep, like a starless and moonless night.

Xiang Hairan suddenly felt very uneasy in her heart and hurriedly called out "Mr. Yuan".

Yuan Yunzhong nodded slightly and walked past her leisurely.

Xianghan looked at his majestic back and shook her head in confusion. Thinking that Song Jiyun and the others were still waiting for her rice paper, she hurriedly put all this behind her and trotted to Qian's place.
