Chapter 45: Stubborn life

"Jianniang is sick?" Dongchang Mansion, Song Li went out for a day in person as usual, returned to the temporarily rented small courtyard, was groomed under the wait of the maid, and lay on the grandmaster chair, asking someone to take the beauty hammer slowly Of hammering.
After closing my eyes and resting my mind, I called the steward to ask about my daughter's current situation. Upon learning of this, he raised his eyebrows, "When did you get sick? What disease? How did you get sick?"
Waiting for the manager to bend over, whispered in his ears, and sneered, and said, "The trick of the brothers and sisters of the Dingguo Mansion... As the scholar of the Zou Mansion said, your majesty thinks of the old feelings, and has never been willing to embarrass them But my Song family daughter doesn’t have the face of the late empress and loyal grandfather! Jia Niang is really spoiled by me, not ordinary confused!"
"The young lady is also young." The steward said slowly, "What's more, how many years the old man of the Shen family has been in friendship with you. This marriage is said to have not crossed the road. In fact, it is just waiting for the end of this matter. After receiving the award, you can marry the young lady gracefully! So Young Master Shen suddenly has a so-called subordinate...no wonder the young lady is not happy."
Song Li said, "It's okay to be unhappy. Being out of mind is a problem. I never said that Jia Niang should be a truly virtuous and generous wife, but the problem is that as an official daughter, she will marry in the right place. Without the appearance of the city, I really regret that I have been too relaxed for her over the years!"
The steward said: "Didn't you have written a letter to the family? After the lady returns, the lady and the others will definitely teach the lady well."
"But is she willing to go back now?" Song Li sneered. "Ill... I won't get sick early or late, but it happened that I got sick when I left Jining as agreed on the night I went to Zou Mansion for a drink and left Jining? Ten is not wanting to leave, deliberately pretending!"
"Miss and Miss Xu have always been pearls in the palm. This time I went to the Zou Mansion for a banquet but there were twists and turns." The steward said softly, "It's no wonder the two young ladies can't swallow this breath!"
Song Li's tone suddenly became cold after hearing the words: "Why do you think I should be jealous of them for this little thing, and do it myself?"
The steward heard this and quickly denied: "No, no, the master is now on his shoulders, where can I get away? The old slave has a little bit of love for our young lady. After all, the young lady grows up in front of you. Why have you heard a few serious things? I went to the Zou Mansion with great enthusiasm, but said farewell in embarrassment, and felt uncomfortable thinking about it!"
"All she wants is that she is uncomfortable!" Song Li snorted and said, "It is said that she is young, and this can be a cabinetmaker, what else is it? You must know that being a woman is different from being a woman! When she was at home No matter how much petting is a matter of leisure, I and her mother always tolerate her. But after she came out of the cabinet, why should her uncle tolerate her?! She has been raised at this moment and is used to being obedient and obedient. No one can disobey. After leaving the cabinet, it is from the sky to the earth. Is it difficult for her to benefit?"
He ordered, "If she wants to pretend to be sick, let her go! But Xi Shi is absolutely not allowed to help!"
The manager cautiously said: "Master, our young lady has always been obedient. Even if she wants to be narrow for a while, she will definitely not be too stubborn. Just get angry. The problem is that Miss Xu...the lord, but with Dingguo After a few words, I ran to Shandong in a rage! We didn’t get the news two days ago, saying that your Majesty is now in the army. He has heard about this and told the princess privately. Try to persuade you to make peace, don't ask Miss Xu to really split up with Dingguo?"
"..." Speaking of Xu Jingyuan, a layer of boredom suddenly appeared between Song Li and Meiyu.
He did not like Xu Jingyuan from the heart.
Not only because the girl always took his daughter to learn not well, but also because she didn't like Xu Jingyuan's spoiled temper.
But before Yongle Emperor completely disgusted Dingguo Gongfu, even the prince and the princess could only be polite to these two "cousins" and "cousins".
Song Li could only say angrily at this moment, "This girl doesn't know how to cherish good luck. Sooner or later there will be a lesson."
The steward thought for a while, and said, "Miss is following Miss Xu. To avoid being involved, do you want to tell Master Shen? After all, Master Shen is in Jining, so it's good to take care of her."
Fearing that this suggestion was considered to have ulterior motives, he hurriedly added, "The reason why the lady was deceived by Miss Xu is in the final analysis for Master Shen. The old slave thought, if Master Shen came to explain in person, maybe the lady would be relieved? "
Song Li sullenly, and after a while, he still shook his head: "I'm so jealous before going through the door... You really have no place to marry the Shen family except my Song daughter?"
The steward didn't say anything anymore, and that's it.
However, Song Li did not intend to ask Chen Qianlan to take care of his daughter. After Chen Qianlan knew that Song Jianiang and Xu Jingyuan were staying in Jining, they were already frowning: "They stayed? Do you know how long they will stay?"
The subordinate said: "I don't know yet. I only heard that Miss Xu was very upset about what happened at the Zou Mansion banquet, and she probably wanted to get justice before leaving."
"What does she have to be fair to ask for?" Shen Qianlan said faintly, "The old lady of the family Zhuang had a good birthday. She suddenly went there and brought Miss Song Jia. Without explaining the reason, the Zou Mansion was panicked. The grandfather and grandson who were scared at the banquet knelt down and begged for mercy... A good festive day almost ruined her hands. I still feel wronged at this moment? But she is really a noble lady, you can be delicate!"
Xu Jingyuan’s identity was placed there, and Shen Pilan, because the backer was no worse than her, could speak so unceremoniously, but his subordinates did not dare to talk and just stood by.
Sinking Lan thought for a moment, and said, "Send a message and ask Miss Song Jia why he stayed, but what trouble do I need to help?"
The men reminded him: "My lord, the reason they stayed was that Miss Song suddenly became ill."
"Just go and ask, and see how that Miss Song replies to me!" Shen Pilan chuckled. He knew about Shen Song's intention to marry. Before coming to Shandong, his mother Zhang was Just told him about this. Zhang was full of praise to Song Jianiang at the time, saying that this girl was not only against Shen Pi Lanmen, but also rarely did not have the arrogance and domineering attitude of a lady of the Tianfu, she looked like a well-behaved and sensible .
And although the appearance is not particularly beautiful, it is the kind of white and dignified that suits the elders' wishes.
At that time, Zhang also knew that Song Jianiang had a good relationship with Xu Jingyuan, but thought it was a good thing: "Although the girl from the Xu family has a bad temper, Jane is in the emperor's heart. Jianiang sympathizes with her. Sister, it will be a good thing to be my housewife Shen in the future...Anyway, Jia Niang has been playing with that girl for many years, and she hasn't been affected by her spoiling and self-willedness."
...Actually, they have seen it several times when they were young, but at that time, the relationship was not open. Boys were more willing to play with boys, and girls also preferred to chat with girls, so it was just to say hello or something. I haven't talked about it deeply, and I can't understand each other.
After growing up, men and women are different, and their temperament must have changed.
At this time, Shen Pilan and Song Jianiang glanced from a distance, their eyesight almost couldn't see the distance between each other's facial features.
Therefore, the current situation of the other party can only be told by the elders.
So after listening to Zhang's description, Chen Pilan was quite satisfied.
Just like Song Li told his followers in private, because he is not the eldest son, he has no title to inherit, and he is also a son. He is not the kind of unrecognized son who can be abandoned casually. Above the eldest brother.
Years of fame and fate, coupled with the youthful age, Chen Tanlan's mind at the moment is mostly on making merits, and he has no time to think about marriage.
Now that the family is right, the mother is also satisfied, thinking that after returning from Shandong, it doesn't hurt to marry the Song daughter.
Before Song Jianiang sent someone to bring things over, after Shen Tan Lan knew, she immediately became vigilant, cleaned her around, and sent a letter to Song Li, but she didn't blame her.
After all, he knew that because the girl of the Song family was the youngest daughter, she was very much loved, carefree, and very naive, and there were also cases of poor consideration.
After all, the starting point is to have a good relationship with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that because of a Xi Fuwei, this prospective fiancee would be reluctant to forgive!
"Not to mention that I and the Xi family are innocent at all. They just take what they need and have no selfishness. Even if you do, you feel unwilling to respond to the cry of the Tianfu to find my elders and ask them to discipline me. Knowing that I am doing important business here, or it is about moving the capital... I have to make trouble in Jining, so ignorant of the generality, I really thought that the two families tacitly acquiesced in the marriage, so I have to bear with you to the end "!" Shen Qianlan approved the document, thinking about Song Jianiang, the quasi-fiancee, his brows frowned.
Earlier, his little friend told Xi Fuwei that the Shen family was not a small household, and might not be afraid of Dingguo, but it was actually his instruction.
The birthday feast in Zou Mansion was his final concession to Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang.
No matter what the banquet ended, as long as Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang left Jining immediately afterwards, he would endure it.
But now that Xu Jingyuan doesn't plan to keep his promise, he actually intends to stay in Jining for a long time, can he still count on him to keep his breath?
He has no love between men and women for Xi Fuwei, at least not now, and is not very satisfied with Xi Fuwei's performance since entering the Zou Mansion, but whether this is his subordinate, or he recruited him personally, no matter how it is considered a direct line.
According to the Shen family's teachings to him since he was a child, the people under his hands should be as cheap as grass when they should be used, but they should also be loved as their own blood.
Otherwise, in times of crisis, why should people give up their lives for you?
The notion that has been subtly submerged over the years, in Shen Dilan's view, Xu Jingyuan and Song Jianiang's current actions are not aimed at Xi Fuwei, but slap themselves in the face.
Again and again, again and again.
A shadowy bird flashed in the man's calm and unwavering eyes. After thinking for a moment, he raised his voice and called into the small servant.
