The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Song Yunzhao received a letter from Xie Linlang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was brought to her by the eldest lady who entered the palace.

The eldest lady looked at Song Yunzhao and said: "The wedding date has been set, the sixth day of September, and the third brother will return to Beijing by then."

Song Yunzhao sneered when he heard the words, "The wedding date is set so urgently, how much does Song Qinghan hate getting married?"

Hate to marry?

Da Furen thought it was a good word, so she said: "We can't stop her affairs, so let her go. I have told her about the affairs of Marquis Wuxin's mansion carefully. Since she insists on jumping into it, she will have a good life in the future." If you hurt yourself, you have to bear it."

Song Yunzhao didn't care about Song Qinghan's life, knowing that this matter had been completely settled, he didn't care. He turned around and asked the old man, "How is uncle in office now?"

The eldest lady smiled and said: "After Li Rong is married, your uncle will have a helper, and even if you are in the palace, the officials in Yucheng will not dare to make things difficult as before. When the three-year term comes, your eldest Uncle will move somewhere."

Song Yunzhao knew that his uncle had an idea in mind, looked at his wife and said, "Auntie, now our family wants to reappear the glory of our ancestors, no matter whether it is my father or uncle who is an official, we must not be caught. Our family has The second uncle is not short of money to spend."

Speaking of this, Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and said, "I have a good relationship with Miss Xie, as you know, the Xie family must take care of the second uncle's business, besides, the second aunt is the daughter of the Xie family, our family has enough money to spend It's enough to use it. When father and uncle get a firm foothold in the future, naturally they don't have to worry about it."

The eldest lady's heart froze. Although Yun Zhao couldn't explain clearly, she could understand one thing. The fact that the Xie family took care of the second couple was definitely not just because the second child came from the Xie family.

But Yun Zhao didn't elaborate, and the eldest lady didn't dare to ask, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will tell my family. I will also write to your second uncle and second aunt to give some advice."

Song Yunzhao smiled, "With you here, I will feel at ease at home. As long as the Song family is safe and not being caught, I will be safe in the palace."

The eldest lady hurriedly said yes, and after thinking about it, she said: "I also plan to settle Hongjiao's marriage. She is an older sister. Only when she settles, can Ye Xi talk about marriage." Do you have any plans for Jinxuan? If not, her marriage may not be easy."

After all, it is in Cai's hands.

Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, "The second sister's marriage will be discussed after my father comes back, and now my wife is preparing for Song Qinghan's marriage and I don't care about her. For sister Hongjiao's marriage, which one did you show to my aunt?"

Knowing that Song Yunzhao had plans, she felt relieved. Hearing her question, the eldest lady sighed helplessly, "Nowadays because of you, our family has become a hot spot, and there are many people who come to say goodbye, not only your sisters, but you The older brothers are all being watched. Fortunately, I have already let the word out that the men in the family will not get married if they fail the exam."

Song Yunzhao was overjoyed all of a sudden, "What's the matter? If you keep failing the exam, you really won't marry a wife?"

Even she also knew that it was very difficult to be a Jinshi in ancient times.

"Your uncle really said so. Now the family has hired several gentlemen to teach them to read. If they still fail the exam, it means that they have no intentions." Speaking of this, the eldest lady looked at Yun Zhao, "Now Yanyue also I'm studying with you, after all, he is the eldest son of your family, for the sake of the third brother, it's not easy to leave him alone."

Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Are the newly invited gentlemen quite powerful?"

"The third brother discussed this matter with your uncle. Your uncle asked around in Yucheng and visited him several times in person to invite him. It took a lot of effort." The eldest lady said with a smile, "for the sake of the child's future. It’s nothing to spend all this effort, I just hope that they can study hard.”

Song Yunzhao was very satisfied with the adjustment made by his uncle and father, only a far-sighted family would make such an arrangement.

Hiring famous teachers is not such a simple matter. For some famous teachers, their willingness to go out to teach depends on the family background of the students. Not only is Shu Xiu high, but the most important thing is that they are afraid that the students have low background and shallow knowledge. If they can’t teach, they will ruin themselves. reputation.

The world situation is like this, although it is somewhat realistic, Song Yunzhao can understand it.

Since the gentleman invited is so excellent, Cai will of course let Song Yanyue study with him. She has no objection to this, so she looked at the eldest lady and said: "I am not dissatisfied with Song Yanyue's study with me. Although my younger brother is not as good as me, Brotherhood, but he never bullied me, at most he just didn't help me, how could I ruin his future."

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Yun Zhao was not that kind of person, so she talked about the candidate for Song Hongjiao. He is a scholar, and he opened a private school to teach in a private school after failing to pass the exam a few times, and the three brothers ranked second."

Song Yunzhao was a little surprised, "I thought uncle would choose a marriage for sister Hongjiao in the capital."

The eldest lady sighed, "That's what I planned at first, thinking about getting married in Beijing, and I will have an arm in the future."

Song Yunzhao nodded, not because she was boasting, she is now the emperor's favorite concubine, and her father and uncle's official reputation in office has always been good, except that she has a bad relationship with Song Qinghan's mother and daughter, there are basically no major flaws.

Under such circumstances, there should not be a small number of people who want to marry their family. If they choose carefully, it is not difficult to arrange a Beijing-China marriage for Song Hongjiao.

However, now it sounds like there should be another reason.

"Then why did uncle change his mind?"

"Hongjiao is a concubine. Even if Jieyu is favored in the palace, the people who come to propose marriage are either concubine sons or those with a bad reputation. We are not picky about concubine sons, but there are not many who are well-born and educated. Even if there are a few It's not bad, but I can't send Hongjiao to suffer in a family with many siblings and quarrels."

Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, the eldest lady has always treated concubine daughters well, and being so considerate for them, as a concubine is already quite compassionate.

"Eldest aunt has always been kind-hearted, and the concubine sisters in the mansion are lucky to meet you."

The eldest lady laughed immediately after being praised by Song Yunzhao, "I nodded and entered the door for their biological mothers. After entering the door, they are considered safe. I personally watched and raised the children. Mother and daughter are the same. It is said that they are regarded as their own, but they cannot be harmed. Besides, they have found a good marriage, and they will be the arms of the brothers and sisters in the family in the future."

Song Yunzhao was taught, anyway, she can't be as broad-minded as the eldest lady, and because she can't do it herself, she admires the eldest lady when she looks at it.

Thinking about it for so many years, although my uncle has a concubine, he has always treated his aunt with respect, and it is precisely because of this that my uncle will plan everything for my uncle and treat my concubine children kindly.

Looking at their third house, they are completely extreme. Cai's temperament is narrow and selfish, and his father loves Aunt Che in the same way as her, so the house is restless, not to mention the concubine, even she, the prostitute, is hated by Cai. It is a dream to have a harmonious family.

Cai's temperament is independent, and Aunt Che is not a good person. Cai does not have the means of a big lady to suppress concubines. Aunt Che is courageous and favored. Anyway, she can see clearly the mess in the family.

Therefore, she didn't object to Song Haoyue's following in the study, but she also thought that he would be able to read the future, and that he and Song Haoming would be able to check each other in the future, so that Aunt Che would not be able to turn the sky.

Aunt Che checks and balances Cai, and Cai is bound by the affairs of the inner house, so he has no time to think about making her unhappy.

The Cai family can't change it, Aunt Che has ambitions, the best way is to let the two of them fight like this, so that Song Yunzhao can get some peace.

"Sister Hongjiao's marriage is settled like this?" Song Yunzhao asked.

The eldest lady shook her head, "I haven't discussed marriage yet, I'm waiting for news from your uncle. However, I think it should be possible. It's not easy for you in the palace now, and the family can't hold you back. Hongjiao chooses a husband who is not greedy." Power, the better the reputation of our scholarly family, the better for you. In addition, the child is indeed good, although his family background is a bit low, but as long as he is capable, Hongjiao will be able to survive in ten or eight years."

Song Yunzhao was silent for a while, "When Sister Hongjiao gets married, I will also add makeup to her."

The eldest lady smiled, "That's natural, Hongjiao must be happy. It's not easy for a high family to marry. If they are really greedy for wealth and honor and send them to a high school as concubines or as daughters-in-law for a concubine, then life will be difficult in the future."

"Someone wants sister Hongjiao to be a concubine?" Song Yunzhao frowned.

The eldest lady sneered, "It's a good idea, why would our girl be someone's concubine?"

That's because it really happened, and Song Yunzhao's expression was not good, "Auntie did the right thing. Although marrying a Juren is poorer at first, life will get better and better in the future."

To be a regular wife is to be able to hold your head up higher than your wife, but to be a concubine will not be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.

Be it Song Lirong or Song Hongjiao, as a concubine herself, she definitely doesn't want the child she gave birth to to be a concubine.

"Don't talk about that, I have some good news for you." Da Furen smiled.

"What good news?" Song Yunzhao asked curiously.

"Your brother-in-law in the hall will arrive in Beijing soon to prepare for Qiu Wei, and your elder sister will also bring her children along with her."

"Really? This is really good news." Song Yunzhao is very happy. Song Guiyi has been married for many years, and their cousins ​​have not seen each other for many years. In Song Yunzhao's heart, Song Guiyi is simply a copy of the eldest lady, who has rules and rules Another gentle person.

Before they got married, Song Yunzhao and her didn't go around much, but the elder sister always gave her a copy of anything delicious and fun when she saw that Mrs. Cai was treating her badly.

"It's true, I've seen her once since she got married, and this time I can finally see her again." How could the eldest lady be unhappy.

"Then after the eldest sister arrives in Beijing, the eldest aunt will bring her into the palace, so that I can meet with the eldest sister."

The eldest lady agreed, and got up to leave after seeing that there was nothing else to do.

Song Yunzhao sent someone out, but the eldest lady refused to let her stay, so she had to ask Nanny Yu to send the eldest lady out of the palace on her behalf.

After the eldest lady left, Song Yunzhao took out Xie Linlang's letter to read. In just a few days, the theater troupe has been very prosperous. As soon as "The Story of the West Chamber" was staged, the wives and ladies in the capital city went to watch it. Although this play is somewhat controversial, but The result is good, but not too out of the ordinary.

Later generations of "The Romance of the West Chamber" include Peking Opera, Yue Opera, and other operas, with different singing styles and different audiences. Peking opera has a grand singing style, and Yue opera is graceful and beautiful, and she likes both of them.

But in this time and space, there is no Peking opera or Yue opera, it is a local singing style, and she has heard it before and it is not bad.

However, she herself doesn't know either Beijing opera or Yue opera, so she doesn't dare to blindly order and arrange new operas. Anyway, she only writes books, and Xie Jinshu manages the troupe well. With his ability, it will only get bigger and bigger.

Song Yunzhao has no plans to write a new play for the time being. He still has to wait until "Romance of the West Chamber" has completely established the troupe's reputation and the troupe can expand its number of people.

Putting this matter off for the time being, Xie Linlang also mentioned one more thing in the letter. If someone came to her door to promise her a kiss, her mother would come to the capital from Xuanzhou in a few days.

Song Yunzhao smiled knowingly when he saw this. In the book, Xie Linlang made Ji Yunting a concubine, even if she was willing, but who is willing to let his wife not be a concubine, now she can choose a good marriage by herself.

It must be that Xie Linlang knew that he had been concerned about her marriage, so he told him now, and Song Yunzhao laughed.

Whether it was Song Guiyi's arrival in Beijing, Xie Linlang's marriage, or Song Hongjiao's marriage, it was a good thing, which brightened her mood.

She has lived here for more than ten years. She knows that when a woman marries, she is really reincarnated for the second time. Those with a strong temper can still survive, but those with a weak temper will suffer more than Coptis chinensis.

As for Song Jinxuan's marriage, Song Yunzhao was not prepared to interfere. With his father and Aunt Che watching over her, it would not be easy for the Cai family to sell her.

When the time comes, she just waits to add a box to Song Jinxuan, and it is enough for her to get married in a good manner.

One of the most important things right now is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the other is Qiu Wei, and the other is waiting for her father to return to Beijing.

"Master, Feng Xiaoyuan wants to see you."

"Feng Xiaoyuan?" Song Yunzhao looked at Yulu in surprise, "What did you say?"

Yulu shook her head.

"Then what's going on in the palace recently?" Song Yunzhao looked at Yulu and asked, the palace was very quiet after Qixi Festival, she knew that this quietness was unusual, but she didn't go out very often, Wangyou Palace was very strict It is strict, and it is not easy for others to reach out.

Under such circumstances, it was a little strange that Feng Xiaoyuan came to find her.

After all, since the incident with Lu Zhixue last time, the two of them hadn't had much contact with each other.

Yulu thought about it seriously, "I have not heard anything about Feng Xiaoyuan either."

"Then let's invite someone in first." Although Song Yunzhao and Feng Yunjin have no relationship, this one is the brains of the heroine in the book, and she has a good brain. Even if they can't be friends, it's best not to be enemies.

Song Yunzhao went back to the inner hall from the study, and just as he sat down, Feng Yunjin arrived.

"Concubine pays respects to Jieyu."

"Feng Xiaoyuan, get up quickly." Song Yunzhao said with a smile, motioning for Yulu to help her up.

Feng Yunjin thanked her before getting up, "I took the liberty to visit, and I ask Jieyu to forgive me."

Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yunjin's plain attire, he was indeed cautious, and when he came to see her, he also paid extra attention to her attire, but she was not so cautious.

But now everyone in the palace says that she is a favorite concubine who must take revenge, is also jealous, and likes to dress herself up, because of the dancer's contribution, she is now the number one thorn in the harem.

"What are you talking about? I just don't like going out. I'm very happy to have you here. Sit down and talk." Song Yunzhao laughed.

Feng Yunjin sat down, looked up at Song Jieyu, and saw that Song Jieyu was wearing a light yellow dress without complicated embroidery, it was clean and light, different from her in front of others.

Xiangxue brought the dianthus to bring refreshments, then stepped back lightly.

Feng Yunjin asked the maids around her to also leave, and then looked at Song Yunzhao and smiled, "I didn't intend to disturb Jieyu, but someone asked me to send a letter to Jieyu, so I had no choice but to take the liberty of coming here."

Song Yunzhao: ...

Are you addicted to being a messenger?

Probably because Song Yunzhao's eyes were too obvious, Feng Yunjin also smiled helplessly, "It's not someone else, it's Concubine Lu."

Song Yunzhao is convinced!

Feng Yunjin found that Song Jieyu was really an interesting person, and the expression on her face was so vivid, she laughed softly: "I didn't want to agree, but Lu Lu said that I don't want to bother the two masters, and I was the one who replaced her last time." Send the letter, this time, let me take it."

Song Yunzhao snorted, "If she has the heart, why doesn't she come to the door herself?"

"Concubine Lu also knows that she has done something wrong, so it's not good to face Jieyu directly." Feng Yunjin looked helpless.

She also didn't want to be this kind of middleman, this kind of thing was thankless, and thanks to Song Jieyu's temper, she wouldn't have dared to take this trip.

Song Yunzhao said unceremoniously: "The last time you helped her deliver the letter, it was because the family owed the Lu family a favor and had to pay it back. What's the reason this time? Why don't you bother the two masters? I don't believe that."

Feng Yunjin was not surprised at Song Yunzhao's direct question. After all, Song Jieyu gave her the impression that she was a straightforward person who would settle everything on the spot and would not postpone it at all.

"It was Concubine Lu who came to the door. She told the concubine that she was provoked by someone last time, and that's why she did something bad. She felt that she owed Jieyu an explanation, but she couldn't come to see Jieyu, so she said Ask me to bring you a sentence, it can be regarded as Xie Niangniang who spoke for her last time, so that she can come out early."

There is something in Song Yunzhao's words. Did Lu Zhixue have a falling out with Qin Xiyue?

Then she didn't bother to do anything, today was really a good thing one after another.

"What words?" Song Yunzhao asked.

"Ji Yunting has made a marriage agreement with the county magistrate Ming'an."

Song Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, He Lanyun really wanted to marry Ji Yunting?

Feng Yunjin knew that Song Yunzhao and He Lanyun had a good relationship when she was acquainted with the Erotic Palace. She thought about it and said, "This matter has not been announced to the public, but I heard that there are some twists and turns in this marriage."

Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Yunjin, "There's no need to go around, Feng Xiaoyuan, just say what Concubine Lu means?"

Feng Yunjin smiled, "There is no girl from Zuo Xiang's mansion in the palace. County Lord Ming'an has a good relationship with Jieyu. I think Jieyu should know something about the relationship between County Lord Ming'an and Young Master Ji. Now that the two are married, Lu My concubine asked me to make you more careful."

Song Yunzhao's complexion is not very good, "Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and Zuoxiang's Mansion are married, what should I worry about? I just have some friendship with Ming'an County Lord, and have nothing to do with Zuoxiang's Mansion and Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."

"What Jieyu said is that it's just that you think so, others may not think so."

Song Yunzhao looked at Feng Xiaoyuan, "Since the marriage has not been made public, how did Concubine Lu know about it?"

"Lord Lu has a good relationship with Prime Minister Yao, and Prime Minister Yao is headed by the Prime Minister on the right, so he will naturally take care of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Left."

Song Yunzhao glanced at Feng Yunjin, Lu Zhixue just asked her to say something, but she told him so thoroughly, maybe she meant to be friendly with him.

It's just that Song Yunzhao didn't intend to share with the emperor. It's their own ability to be snatched away by others. It is absolutely impossible for her to introduce to the emperor.

She thought, based on this alone, she and Feng Yunjin couldn't be so-called friends.

"I know about this matter." Song Yunzhao brought tea to see off the guests, since she couldn't satisfy other people's demands, naturally there was no need for more contacts.

Otherwise, she only accepts benefits here and doesn't give sweets to others, and she will turn her face sooner or later. It's better not to make a deal in the first place.

Feng Yunjin got up to leave, and Song Yunzhao asked Xiangxue to see off her guests.

After leaving Wangyou Palace, Ai Ju followed her master, seeing the serious expression on her master's face, she couldn't help asking worriedly: "Master, did Song Jieyu make things difficult for you?"

Feng Yunjin shook her head. She didn't expect Song Yunzhao to be so difficult to deal with. She had already shown her favor here, but she didn't answer at all. She didn't know what to do this time.

Ai Ju heard these words and said softly: "Master, you are just passing on a message for Concubine Lu. Song Jieyu is now in the limelight in the harem, so it's fine if you don't take your anger out on you."

Feng Yunjin knew that Ai Ju's thoughts were off, so she said: "Song Jieyu treats me kindly, you don't have to think too much, go to Yihua Palace."

It was too kind, which made her a little irritable.

How could there be such a reckless person.

Ai Ju didn't know what the master was worrying about, so she hurriedly led the way. Behind Wangyou Palace was Yihua Palace, and it took only half a cup of tea to arrive.

Feng Yunjin went to see Lu Zhixue, but this time Ai Ju was not allowed to follow her.

Lu Zhixue was waiting for Feng Yunjin, and seeing the person coming in, she asked, "Did you bring the words?"

Feng Yunjin nodded, "Here we are."

Seeing Feng Yunjin's uneasy expression, Lu Zhixue thumped in her heart, "Why, Song Jieyu made things difficult for you?"

Feng Yunjin shook her head, "That's not true. I just think that your plan probably won't work. Song Jieyu refuses to accept my overtures, and turns a blind eye to my advances. It can be seen that she has no intention of joining forces with you."

Lu Zhixue pursed her lips, her face was not very good-looking.

Looking at her like this, Feng Yunjin remembered the instructions from her family, and then said again: "I think if you really want to join forces with her, you may have to visit the door in person to show your sincerity."

Lu Zhixue's complexion turned even worse, she remained sullen and did not speak.

If she could easily bow her head, she wouldn't have to bother Feng Yunjin to walk for her.
