Early the next morning, Song Lan'an took the Song Mansion's housekeeper to the British Duke's Mansion to pay homage to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was over seventy years old, but her body was still strong. As soon as Song Lanan saw her, she bowed respectfully, which surprised the old man.
The two houses are currently discussing marriage. He must have something big to ask for in the way he looks today.
The eldest princess was leaning on the gilt crutch in her hand, her face was solemn and there was no trace of happiness or anger.
Song Lanan stood up and said with a smile: "I came to see you today because I have something to ask for."
"Please tell me and listen."
"Now is the critical time for the children of the two houses to get married. Unfortunately, Zhuo Jing has been seriously ill recently. In order not to affect the marriage between the two houses, Qin and Jin, I would like to ask the eldest princess to arrange the marriage for the two children."
"And I am also entrusted by Quanzi today. I wonder if you can trouble the British government to send a few people to the humble abode to help take care of things?"
After hearing this, a smile gradually appeared in the eyes of the eldest princess.
She didn't know whether it was true or not that Mrs. Song was seriously ill, and she didn't want to know. But now Song Lan'an's attitude is very obvious. Letting people from the British government go to the Song Mansion in advance to help with matters is a concession.
Before the bride entered the house, she asked her subordinates to help take care of her husband's family affairs. This was Song Lan'an's intention to tell her that Ming Xiang would be the first to take over the affairs of the husband's family when he entered the house in the future.
The eldest princess was very satisfied with Song Lanan's sincerity, and after a few words of agreement, she let people prepare to go.
After finishing the matter, Song Lanan walked out of the British government palace.
On the carriage, the housekeeper of the Song Mansion said: "Leave the affairs of the house to the Ming family girl, will you..."
Song Lan'an waved his hand and said casually: "Su Yi made good arrangements in the early years and there has been no trouble in the house for so many years. Now he is not afraid of anything. And although Ming Jiu is useless, he is not a member of the British government. I believe that She will manage the house well in the future."
"Qi Yi'er will definitely leave a backup for Song Fu. You and I don't need to worry."
When it came to getting married, Song Lanan's tone became more popular.
"Besides, the house will always be left to Fu'er in the future. Even if Ming Jiu can't help him, it will be a headache for him. The road for him has been paved. If things don't go smoothly, I, as a father, will There’s nothing we can do about it.”
"The eldest young master is calm and wise, and will definitely excel in his career."
Song Lanan smiled, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes.
How could his and Su Yi's children not be outstanding?
Lowering his eyes slightly, Song Lanan half-closed his eyelids and rested.
Spring has arrived, and Song Fu and Ming Xiang's wedding date is getting closer, but Mrs. Song is getting more and more panicked. Just because she found that now she stayed in the room all day and no one came to look for her.
For three whole days, she could hear the noisy conversations among the servants in the mansion, but no one came to invite her to go out to handle government affairs.
"It's so noisy outside, but are you preparing for Fu'er's marriage?"
Tan Zhu nodded: "The mansion is preparing for ancestor worship the next day, but has it disturbed Madam?"
"Sacrifice to ancestors?"
Mrs. Song stood up abruptly: "Why didn't anyone inform me about the ancestor worship in the mansion? How can it be dignified to worship the ancestors without the mistress of the Heaven and Earth Mansion coming forward?"
After pulling off the mop on her head and forehead, Mrs. Song stood up to change clothes when she heard Tan Zhu say: "Madam, don't worry, the master said that you should rest more and take good care of yourself."
"what do you mean?"
"The master asked me to accompany my wife to rest, and to fully recover before thinking about anything else. Now that my wife is weak, it is better to go back to bed and continue to rest."
Mrs. Song looked in disbelief.
Song Lanan, what does this mean? Do you want to ground her?
"I'm going to find the master."
She put on her coat and wanted to leave. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Tan Zhu: "Madam, you should go back to the couch and rest. The master is not in the house today, and you can't find him if you go out."
Mrs. Song's eyes turned red, and she felt panic and fear in her heart.
How did she know that she had served Song Lanan conscientiously for more than ten years, but because he favored Song Wan, he pretended to be sick for two days, and he grounded her like this?
She has worked hard all these years without any merit, why can't he say a soft word to her?
Would you rather let the mistress be vacant when the eldest son of the Song family gets married? Song Lan'an wouldn't want to coax her even a little bit?
When her vision went dark, Mrs. Song fell backwards suddenly.
She had barely eaten or drank in the past few days, pretending to be ill, but now she was so angry that she fainted.
Tanzhu stepped forward to help Mrs. Song and placed a ginseng piece under her tongue.
The strong ginseng flavor spread from the bottom of her tongue to her mouth. Mrs. Song only felt that the base of her tongue was numb, and her entire chest and even her breathing were filled with a bitter taste.
Tanzhu laid the person flat on the couch, turned around and went to find the doctor, and bumped into Song Yao as soon as he left the house.
"Where are you going, mother?"
"My wife has been seriously ill these past few days. It would be best for you, Miss Second, not to disturb her."
"Is mother still not well?"
Song Yao looked miserable. She had something to discuss with Mrs. Song.
After she fasted for two days and two nights, her father never mentioned marrying her to that disciple again. She sent her maid to inquire about it, and the housekeeper didn't ask anyone to go to Hu's house to inquire about anything.
It seems that because she didn't want to, her father gave up.
Song Yao originally wanted to discuss her marriage with Mrs. Song, but his mother refused to heal.
After standing at the door and thinking for a long time, Song Yao said, "I'll go in and see my mother."
"Second sister."
He grabbed Song Yao who was about to enter the door, and Song Nian took him aside: "My mother has been very worried about your marriage with that disciple these days. Now that my mother can finally take a rest, please don't disturb her anymore." Got her."
Song Yao bit his lip and nodded to indicate to Tan Zhu to leave first.
Pulling the person back to his yard, Song Nian sighed softly: "Brother, there is no room for error in the marriage. Second sister, please don't make any noise in the house these days. If you disturb the bride, it will be our fault."
Seeing Song Yao's unconcerned expression, she softened her temper, broke the words into pieces and spoke them again in detail.
"Since my father had previously planned to betroth his second sister to his disciple, he will probably not be concerned about his second sister's marriage in the future."
"But the new sister-in-law is different. When she first entered the house, she just wanted to make a good name for herself, and she will do her best to arrange a good marriage for us. If the sister-in-law comes in, the second sister must be nice to her and treat her..."
"What did you say?"
Song Yao sneered and said, "Are you stupid? My mother is still here, and it's our turn to have a bride make the decision on our marriage? And she's also a bride who speaks poorly and rarely interacts with others?"
"Although my sister-in-law is not good at speaking, the British government is not..."
"Why do you always foster other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
"And how can my father not care about your marriage? Even if I can't enter the East Palace, my father will not marry you or me to some unworthy family at will."
"90%25 of the time this disciple named Hu was used by my father to scare me."
Song Yao said this with a little sadness in his eyes; "Besides Song Wan, the legitimate daughters in the house are you and me. We are of great use. How could father..."
Wasting these two useful chess pieces?
