The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Song Yunzhao heard the deep meaning in the words of the eldest lady, thought for a while and said: "Auntie, I don't know much about the Xie family, and I can't make a conclusion on this matter for the time being. I will talk to you after I think about it. However, I am Lin Lang still understands, and her elder brother, Second Young Master Xie, is also quite good-natured."

The eldest lady nodded slightly, understanding Yun Zhao's meaning. She didn't understand the Xie family, so it was not easy to get involved too deeply, but Xie Jinshu's brothers and sisters were all good, so they could continue to do business.

That's right, although the Xie family is a merchant, but the tree has deep roots and naturally forks, it may not be a good thing to have close contacts with the entire Xie family, it is better to single out one person, on the contrary it is very safe.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Da Furen was about to get up to say goodbye, when the palace servant came back to report, "Master, please see Madam Nanbo."

After hearing the words, the eldest lady sat back and asked Mrs. Nanbo what to do?

She didn't have a good impression of this man, he was just a mercenary.

Song Yunzhao did not expect Mrs. Ding Nanbo to come to see her, so he was not surprised after thinking about it, after all, the two of them were somewhat related by blood.

She looked sideways at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "I didn't have a chance to meet this aunt when I came to Beijing, but I didn't expect to see her now."

The eldest lady said directly: "If you don't want to see Jieyu, then you don't have to. If you do, don't be afraid. I'm here."

She can say things that Yun Zhao is difficult to say as a junior, but she wants to see what Mrs. Ding Nanbo is doing.

"I can probably think of what she's going to say." Song Yunzhao said calmly. "Bring people in."

It was not the first time for Mrs. Ding Nanbo to enter the palace. When Concubine Chu was still there, although she was a stepmother, she was still required to enter the palace to communicate with the concubine regarding matters related to the uncle's residence, so she was no stranger to the palace.

Concubine Chu's Yaohua Palace is in the east of Changle Palace. She used to walk along the palace road outside Changle Palace to reach Yaohua Palace.

But now that the Yaohua Palace is empty, her route to enter the palace also turns right from the palace road in the south of Changle Palace, passes through Roufu Palace, and goes straight to Wangyou Palace.

Wangyou Palace is located in the southeast corner of the entire harem, such a remote place, only unfavored concubines would live here during the first emperor's time, but it is different now, Song Yunzhao lives here, even if it is remote, it has become a harem The liveliest place.

She met many noble wives along the way, and everyone was naturally familiar with each other in the capital, and they dispersed after entering the palace.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo stood outside Wangyou Palace and straightened her clothes before following the palace staff inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw a whole row of palace lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor. At this time, some palace people were lighting the lanterns, which instantly illuminated the entire courtyard like daytime.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo was dazzled, she raised her foot to step up the steps, stepped on the light and followed the palace people into the palace.

"Master, Madam Dingnan Bo has arrived."

Mrs. Ding Nanbo gathered herself together, and went forward to pay her respects, "My wife pays homage to Jieyu."

"You don't have to be polite, Mrs. Uncle, just get up and sit down."

Mrs. Ding Nanbo thanked Li for getting up, raised her head slightly to look at Song Yunzhao who was sitting at the top, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. It was true that Song Yunzhao's face was completely different from that of her sister and eldest niece.

Seeing Mrs. Dingnan's slightly lost expression, the eldest lady sneered in her heart and said, "Why is Mrs. Uncle in a daze, please sit down."

Mrs. Ding Nanbo came back to her senses and found Mrs. Song sitting next to her, the smile on her face froze, "My lady is here too, long time no see, is it okay?"

"Mrs. Monbe is thinking about it. It's very good." The eldest lady got up and gave a salute. In terms of rank, she is naturally inferior to Mrs. Uncle, and the ceremony cannot be dismissed.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo knew that Mrs. Song had a good relationship with Song Yunzhao, so she deliberately came late, but she didn't expect Mrs. Song to still be there, so she couldn't help but feel a little dignified.

The eldest lady is also here, so it is difficult for her to speak some words. She can't ask why the palace banquet invites the eldest lady to come instead of her sister. She doesn't want to tear herself apart with the Song family now. No good.

Song Yunzhao was also looking at Mrs. Ding Nanbo at this time. It was not easy for Ding Nanbo to choose her as his stepmother back then. Although many people would disdain her as a stepmother, a daughter from the Cai family could be his stepmother. The room is also very expensive.

Song Yunzhao didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Ding Nanbo from the Cai family, so he looked at the people and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen someone from my natal family, and it's also the first time I've seen Mrs. Uncle. "

Mrs. Ding Nanbo felt like she was sitting on pins and needles when she heard these words, she didn't expect Yun Zhao to be so shameless, she couldn't answer these words.

Smiling embarrassingly, Mrs. Ding Nanbo said: "In the past, Jieyu lived in Nanyu, so it was really not easy to meet. Fortunately, staying in the palace now, it is easy to meet."

The Da Furen heard such shameless words, which opened her eyes, but what kind of face would a person who is willing to be someone else's stepmother want?

"Mrs. Uncle's words are a bit wrong. After all, Qinghan and her family are very close, not to mention seeing each other every year, but they are almost the same." The eldest lady said with a cold expression.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo did not expect the eldest lady to give her a knife in front of her face. She is thick-skinned, so she couldn't stand it now, so she could only say: "What the eldest lady said, the matter between my sister and Jieyu, I am an aunt How easy it is to blend in, and I only learned about some things later."

"Since Mrs. Uncle was not easy to get involved in the past, she will naturally not be easy to get involved in the future. Our Song family will not make things difficult for you."

Song Yunzhao almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the aunt is really mighty, what he said was too disturbing.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ding Nanbo's face was a little uneasy, "What Da Furen said, it used to be that there was no way to do it because of the distance, but now it's different in the capital."

"I am also a little puzzled by Mrs. Uncle's words. Since we are both in the capital, why didn't Mrs. Uncle see her after Yunzhao came to Beijing?" She suffered a loss in her house, so she couldn't swallow this breath.

Who do you look down on?

At the beginning, it was difficult for her to seek justice, the Song family could not be tough with Dingnanbo's house, she also had to think about her daughter's reputation, and had to swallow the loss of being dumb, but now it is different.

Feng Shui turns around, come to my house this year.

"Ma'am, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Ding Nanbo's complexion also darkened. She deliberately lowered her posture to reconcile, but she didn't just want someone to step on her face.

"What do you mean, Mrs. Uncle is very clear in her heart, so why should I say it." Da Furen sneered.

Mrs. Dingnan's face was gloomy, she thought that she would remember the relationship between the two families to some extent, the eldest lady must show some kindness on her face, but she was so ruthless, which put her in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding Nanbo ignored Mrs. Song, turned her head to look at Song Yunzhao, her eyes flushed slightly, and said, "I know that Jieyu also remembers the time when she came to Beijing, but I also asked about it at that time. Why didn't my sister take you to the house? My sister said that you were not feeling well and went out to be a guest. I thought about how to keep you busy. If I had known about the gap between your mother and daughter, I would not have let you down easily. Conclusive."

Hearing Mrs. Dingnan put all the blame on Mrs. Cai, Song Yunzhao was not surprised at all. She looked at Mrs. Dingnan and said, "Since Mrs. Uncle doesn't know, I can't blame you."

Mrs. Ding Nanbo was overjoyed when she heard the words, she felt a little relieved, and then she continued: "I know that my sister did something wrong, and her unfairness hurt Jieyu's heart. I thought that things have passed for so long, and my sister also has the intention of repenting, so I came to Jieyu to talk about it."

Song Yunzhao looked at Mrs. Dingnan Bo, "I heard that Mrs. Uncle has a good relationship with Ding Nanbo's eldest daughter, but there is one thing I don't know. Since your mother and daughter have a good relationship, why did Mrs. Uncle not even marry the eldest daughter of Chu?" Didn't even sit down?"

What kind of temperament is Chu Yuying? She is domineering and selfish. In the book, she is merciless towards the original owner. What kind of feelings does such a person have for a stepmother? What kind of mother-daughter relationship is said to be good? That's all.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo couldn't hold back the smile on her face this time. Hearing this, she knew that she might have come here in vain, so she suppressed her anger and said, "I happened to be sick at that time, so how can I get over the newcomer's sickness?" .”

"That's really unfortunate." Song Yunzhao looked at Madam Dingnanbo and sighed, "Speaking of which, Miss Chu married into the Marquis of Yongjia, so it's not like she won't have the chance to meet each other in the future. I heard from Song Qinghan that Madam and Chu The eldest girl's mother and daughter are in harmony, so it's good to congratulate when we meet. My wife and I are biological mother and daughter, and it's embarrassing that the relationship between Mrs. Uncle and Miss Chu is not as close as it is."

Song Yunzhao's words were to warn Mrs. Ding Nanbo that Chu Yuying did not marry into someone with no name or surname, but the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Yongjia's mansion. If Mrs. Yongjiahou brought her into the palace, she could do it.

So Song Yunzhao and her really had a chance to meet, but with Chu Yuying's temperament, she would not give Mrs. Nan Bo face, and put on a posture of motherly love and filial piety.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo's face was broken, and her heart was full of anger. No wonder my sister didn't like this daughter. Who would like such a temperament!

The eldest lady felt really relieved watching this scene, she got up immediately and said: "It's getting late, and the minister's wife should also leave, so as not to delay Jieyu's dinner." Then she looked at Mrs. Ding Nanbo, "Madam and I Together?"

Mrs. Dingnan got up to leave with a stiff face, she knew that she had come in vain.

After leaving the palace gate of Wangyou Palace, Mrs. Ding Nanbo looked at Mrs. Song and said: "Madam, why do you need to sow discord? Could it be that the relationship between my sister and Jieyu is good for the Song family? Madam should also go far away." Look, what grievances and grievances my family has, the past is the past."

The Da Furen was not angry when she heard this, she looked at Madam Uncle and said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Ding is planning to make a bid for the eldest son to be the eldest son. Madam Uncle is so virtuous and magnanimous, surely she won't object?"

Ding Nanbo's eldest son was born to his ex-wife. The Cai family only gave birth to a son five years after entering the family, holding him like a baby, how could he have no idea about the position of the son?

Isn't she taking so much trouble to make the Cai family reconcile with Yun Zhao because she wants to take advantage of Yun Zhao's favor to interfere with the son's affairs?

What I think is beautiful!

"Madam don't need to worry about the affairs of our house."

"Mrs. Uncle also knows that it is a matter of someone else's house." Da Furen stabbed, and then left with a flick of her sleeves.

what!

Mrs. Ding Nanbo looked at the lady's back with an extremely embarrassed face, why couldn't she understand what she meant, didn't she think she was meddling in her own business?

Today's palace banquet, the road outside the palace is full of fragrant cars, the rich and powerful are like a stream, the palace is crowded with people, and the pace of palace people rushing to and fro, the outside of Tsinghua Hall is even more lively, and the dinner is held here.

At this time, the banquet has not yet started, but there are already many married women, chatting and laughing together in twos and threes. Bamboo curtains are hung under the corridor to keep out the wind, tassels sway gently in the evening wind, clear light for pictures, high-knot Chinese clothes, and endless laughter.

As soon as Mrs. Song stepped in, Mrs. Han immediately pulled her over, introduced her to the people around her, and said with a smile: "Why did you arrive just now? I've been waiting for you for a while. I'll introduce you to some ladies." .”

The eldest lady immediately put on a proper smile, and said to the ladies beside Mrs. Han: "I was rude, I should have come here earlier to greet the ladies."

Her husband has a low official position, and everyone here has a higher status than her. If it wasn't for Yun Zhao, how could she be standing here?

So at this time, the eldest lady is naturally making a good gesture, not to provoke Yun Zhao's criticism.

Mrs. Han is Han Jinyi's mother, and her daughter was taken care of by Song Yunzhao in the palace. During this palace banquet, her daughter sent her a letter asking her to take care of Mrs. Song more.

How can she not agree, it is for the safety of her daughter in the palace, for the convenience of their Han family, not to mention that she had met Mrs. Song before and had a very good impression of her, so today she will support her a little bit.

"This is Mrs. Lu, this is Mrs. Feng." Mrs. Han introduced with a smile.

Mrs. Lu is Lu Zhixue's mother, and Mrs. Feng is Feng Yunjin's mother.

Mrs. Lu has a gentle appearance, and when she looks at people with soft and soothing eyes, she will make people feel very happy, "When your son was in high school, I wanted to come to visit to be happy, but I have been deeply regretful that I couldn't make it for some reason. I saw you today. Mrs. Song, I finally understand why your son is so outstanding."

The eldest lady thought to herself that this Mrs. Lu could speak so well, how could concubine Lu have such a temperament, the contrast between mother and daughter is very big, "Madam praises it, I really dare not be it."

Mrs. Feng said from the side after hearing the words: "How can it be regarded as absurd praise? This is the truth. Tanhualang can't just pass the exam casually."

The eldest lady smiled when she heard the words, and then turned around and praised and praised the children of several families. When talking about the younger generations in each family, the relationship between them became harmonious and close.

Mrs. Han watched from the side, no wonder Song Jieyu has a very good relationship with this Mrs. Song, she is indeed a powerful person.

On the other side, Mrs. Qin looked at the bustle and bustle here, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little displeased. It was because of Song Jieyu that her daughter was struggling in the palace.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin looked at the eldest lady and asked indifferently: "Mrs. Song, why don't you see the third lady of your house?"

Mrs. Qin's voice was not low, and the people around her looked over in an instant, with all kinds of eyes falling on Mrs. Qin. It just so happened that Mrs. Ding Nanbo stepped into the hall at this time and heard these words in her ears.

She looked at Da Furen with mockery in her eyes, but she wanted to hear how Da Furen's mouth could tell.

The eldest lady thought that Yun Zhao told her that she must publicize her relationship with the Cai family, and she would not take the initiative to say it unless others came to ask.

"Who is this madam?" Mrs. Song really doesn't know this person in front of her. Seeing that she is much older than her, it is difficult to think about the angle of speaking if she doesn't know the origin of the other party.

Mrs. Han's heart was turned upside down, isn't Mrs. Qin deliberately making trouble? Knowing that Song Jieyu didn't have a good relationship with her biological mother, why did she ask her in a human face?

But at this time, he had to suppress his anger and said to the eldest lady: "Mrs. Song, this is Mrs. Qin Taifu."

It turned out to be the enemy!

The eldest lady had a clue in her mind, and immediately said: "My wife's eyesight is poor, I can't recognize you, please don't be offended. Madam asked why my third younger brother and sister didn't go to the banquet. It's hard for me to answer your question. After all, the palace The banquet list is issued by imperial decree."

If you have the ability, you go to question the emperor. You come here to block me because you think I'm easy to bully?

Mrs. Qin thought that this is a smart talker after listening to Mrs. Song, no wonder the Song family can raise a person like Song Jieyu, she looked at Mrs. Song solemnly, "Mrs. Song can talk, but I am just curious. After all, all the concubines’ birth mothers attended the banquet today, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the eldest aunt attending the banquet, so it’s inevitable that I’m a little curious.”

The eldest lady laughed immediately after hearing the words: "I heard that Qin Taifu is knowledgeable and full of economics. I have also heard that the Taifu has traveled more than half of the country on foot. The minister's wife also admires Madam's act of following the Taifu. This little thing can surprise you, really It surprised the courtiers."

Mrs. Han almost didn't laugh, she pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her lips. This lady is very funny, she really doesn't use dirty words when swearing.

As soon as Madam Lu saw it, she took a step forward and said with a smile to Madam Qin: "I haven't seen Madam Qin for a long time. I heard that you caught a cold a few days ago, and you should look better today. I wanted to visit you, but I was afraid that I would disturb Madam's recuperation. Seeing Madam Kangtai makes me feel at ease."

After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, the eldest lady remembered that she had told herself about the reason before, and now she was afraid of Mrs. Shangqin. This Mrs. Lu really knows how to behave.

Now Mrs. Lu was obviously trying to smooth things over for herself and diverted the topic, and she didn't know what was good, so she simply shut up.

Over there, Madam Qin didn't expect Da Madam to be so ungrateful, she opened her mouth to sarcasm, after all, the palace banquet was not good enough to make it ugly, so she held her breath and talked with Madam Lu.

Here Mrs. Feng saw that the eldest lady's expression was not very good, and said softly: "You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the list is made by His Majesty, and others dare not comment even if they have something to say."

There are very few people like Mrs. Qin who intentionally expose people's scars. Mrs. Qin used to speak and act properly, but she didn't expect to be so reckless today.

The eldest lady sighed softly when she heard the words, "It's not easy to bring up family matters outside, but Jieyu and my third younger brother and sister do lose a bit of mother-daughter relationship..."

As the eldest lady sighed, the ladies who listened with pricked ears moved a few steps to this side, and someone asked, "Madam, there seems to be something hard to say?"

The eldest lady glanced at the person who asked the question, she was really good at communicating, she shook her head helplessly, "There are thousands of fates between mothers and daughters in this world, and there is always one that is not so compatible. Jieyu is like this..."

The eldest lady spoke to the point, and she didn't deliberately say anything bad about Mrs. Cai, no matter how bad she was, she was Yun Zhao's biological mother. If her character is flawed, does Jieyu have a good-looking face?

Besides, the third younger brother is an official in Beijing, and the daughter-in-law he married has a problematic character. As a husband, does he not have the negligence of teaching his wife?

Teach the son before the public, teach the wife by the pillow, the third master has to bear part of Cai's fault.

After thinking about it, we can neither make everyone feel unfilial to Yunzhao, nor can Cai's reputation be greatly damaged. It can only be said that they do not have the fate of mother and daughter.

People will feel that Song Yunzhao has suffered a lot of grievances, and that Cai's handling of things is not proper, but he is not a generation with low moral character, but is just too biased among his children.

Mrs. Ding Nanbo, who had been waiting to see Da Furen's jokes, looked at Da Furen in surprise at this time. She really didn't expect Da Furen to describe her younger sister at this time. It was not just an accident, it was simply was shocked.

The eldest lady is so thoughtful and meticulous in her words and deeds, it may be even more difficult to ease the relationship with her in the future. Mrs. Ding Nanbo is thinking about this matter, and if she wants to save her, she has to start with her sister.

Since Da Furen and Yun Zhao have left a way out, it means that there is still room for this matter. Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding Nanbo stepped forward to help Da Furen speak, and her words are also biased towards Da Furen, and the truth is that Cai is biased move.

However, being so eccentric that Song Jieyu didn't want to see her birth mother at the palace banquet, the contradictions here are so deep that everyone can only think about it for themselves.

"Concubine Shu is here!"

"Concubine Zhuang is here!"

"Concubine Wan is here!"

Following the pass by the palace servants, the chatter and laughter in the hall immediately stopped, and everyone tidied up their clothes and came forward to salute.

The third concubine was in front, Song Yunzhao and others then entered the hall, and the earth dragon was burning in the Tsinghua Hall, warming it up, dispelling the chill all over her body, and walking forward to their seats.

"The concubine pays respects to Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, please take your seats." Concubine Shu said with a smile on her face.

In the past, the third concubine was also Concubine Shu who was the leader in everything. Later, her title was abolished and she was at the bottom of the three concubines, but she was lucky enough to restore her title before the New Year's banquet. Naturally, she did her part to sit in the leading position again.

As for what Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan think, Concubine Shu doesn't care.

After everyone was seated, Song Yunzhao didn't look at the crowd, and could already feel that many people's eyes were on her.

I can understand, after all, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, who wouldn't want to take a look at what she looks like, and be able to fascinate the emperor like this.

She sat there as stable as Mount Tai, without any waves in her expression, and looked very calm.

Coupled with the makeup and fancy clothes she specially selected today, many wives will feel that Song Jieyu's appearance is very different from what they imagined after seeing it.

I thought she was an arrogant and domineering little fairy, but it turned out not to be. Although Song Jieyu looked brighter, she had a very decent demeanor, which was by no means comparable to those enchanting women who couldn't be seductive and serve others.

If Song Yunzhao knew what everyone was thinking, he would probably throw the table on the spot.

She is a good girl from a good family, how did she become those enchanting things?

Today's update is sent, cute little ones.
