Song Wan nodded, but felt a little sad in his heart.
After leaving Changxin Palace, she sent someone to deliver a letter to Mingxiang.
Although it is a family banquet, you must not neglect it before entering the palace. When Mingxiang received the news, he went to the embroidery room in his residence to buy clothes overnight, as well as the things he needed to prepare for entering the palace.
The back house of the Song Mansion became busy, and Song Yao felt very uncomfortable.
"Dad is partial to the two older ones, and Concubine Yun is also partial to the two older ones. Why did he only call her two when he entered the palace? Could it be that I, Nian'er, Laer, and Song Xiang and Song Zhao are not human beings? ?”
"Even the one in the palace who disdains the second and third bedrooms should not go beyond our siblings."
Song Yao clenched the handkerchief into a ball and gritted his teeth.
"What will outsiders think of our siblings if they know this? Doesn't this clearly tell the world that she looks down on us?"
"Miss, be careful what you say."
The maid next to Song Yao waved her hands quickly when she heard this, but it made Song Yao even more angry.
"They're all useless."
Her mother is still lying in the house crying all day long, not knowing what she is doing. When her father is there, her mother stands tall and yells at her father, refusing to let her wait for his father to come back before getting married.
But her mother was fine, and turned around and ignored her father's words and agreed to the Qi family.
Now that her father is gone, it's time for her to toughen up and take charge of the family, but all she can do is cry and cry, which is of no use at all.
She and Song Nian's dowry had not been paid from home, and her marriage had not been cancelled, but her mother shrank away and never saw anyone again. What did this mean?
Thinking of Mrs. Qi coming to visit every three days to publicize the marriage between the Song family and the Qi family, she felt so hateful that she almost broke her teeth.
"Did that old guy come again recently?"
"Miss."
Song Yao's maid had a pale face: "Miss, be careful what you say."
"Mrs. Qi is your future mother-in-law. How can you say such a thing? If word spreads, do you still want the reputation of the young lady?"
"Reputation? I'm going to marry into the Qi family. What more reputation do I need?"
Seeing that Song Yao's temper was getting worse, the maid didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid that her young lady would make trouble again, so she could only keep her mouth shut and dare not speak.
Seeing that she was speechless, the resentment in Song Yao's heart disappeared a little.
But she couldn't completely relieve the depression in her heart, so she had no choice but to look for Song Nian again.
When she went to Song Nian's room, there was a huge wooden box in front of Song Nian. She lowered her eyes and didn't do anything for a long time. When she saw Song Yao coming in, she asked Yinsu to take it aside.
"What a good thing, but you have to carry it on your sister's back?"
Song Nian did not answer her words, but asked: "Why did sister come here today?"
Somehow, whenever Song Yao opened his mouth now, Song Yao felt extremely unhappy.
"Tell me what it is. Why do you have me or not? Is it possible that Concubine Yun summoned you to the tomorrow's palace banquet, but left me and my mother alone?"
"It's not something from the palace, it's a gift from the Ming family."
Song Nian's face turned slightly red, with some shame in his eyes.
The two families were engaged and had exchanged wedding invitations. Naturally, she knew Ming Shiqi's birthday. She asked Ming Xiang to give him a birthday gift a few days ago, but now Ming Shiqi just gave him a gift in return.
But she didn't want to tell Song Yao about this, for fear of causing trouble.
"A gift from the Ming family? Why should I give you something this year? Just take it out and let me take a look. I don't know what items are there."
After she finished speaking, she sat next to Song Nian and waited for Yinsu to get the things back.
Yinsu looked at Song Nian and saw her nodding.
"Open it and take a look."
Song Yao urged Song Nian, and Song Nian lowered his eyes and opened the wooden box.
At the top is a reply letter from Feng Mingqiu. The handwriting on it is neat and regular. You can tell by looking at it that he has a steady personality and is reliable.
Song Nian glanced at it and nodded secretly.
Under the letter, there were three brocade boxes, one large and two small. The large one contained a silver mirror inlaid with colorful treasures that is popular among young ladies these days. The remaining two boxes contained butterfly velvet flower hairpins, and the other box contained a white jade comb. .
Song Nian looked at it and smiled slightly, his ears red.
There are many girls in the Ming family, so that man must have asked his sisters what the ladies liked before sending them. As for the butterfly velvet hairpin, he was afraid that she wouldn't like it if he gave it to her as a silver mirror, so he added a decent one, and the white jade comb...
Song Nian closed the brocade box, feeling shy.
The white jade comb often symbolizes growing old together, which means Shi Qi treats her as a legitimate wife.
The Song family and the Qi family hurriedly decided to get married when their father went to Suhe. No one knew about it before, but in the past few days, it became known to everyone under Mrs. Qi's publicity, and Mrs. Song was often secretly laughed at. No countertops allowed.
She also wanted to test him out, so she sent something before Ming Qi's birthday, just to find out what the man meant.
Now looking at it, Ming Shiqi has no intention of looking down on her.
Putting the things away carefully, Song Nian put aside the letter from her future husband.
Song Yao looked at those things and laughed out loud.
"It's just an ordinary object on the street, but you value it so much."
"I wonder if that velvet flower hairpin contains two taels of silver..."
Song Nian was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with her. After sitting down, he listened to Song Yao's talk in silence.
"Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard."
"Then why are you silent?"
"I don't know what to say."
Song Yao sneered, feeling that before Song Nian married into the Ming family, he acted like he put the Ming family first in everything, which was really disdainful. Too lazy to pay attention to what happened between her and Ming Shiqi, Song Yao started talking about Concubine Yun hosting a banquet but not inviting their mother and daughter.
"Don't you feel aggrieved?"
"I don't know."
Song Nian lowered his head and fiddled with the handkerchief in his hand, refusing to answer Song Yao's words.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Concubine Yun not inviting the three of them, mother and son, into the palace.
The eldest sister and Chengyang Hou Yijue fought against their mother several times, and there was quite a rift between the two. Concubine Yun had some respect for them and their son in the early years, but she was unwilling to maintain this superficial friendship. The attitude has not changed in one day or two.
Now the eldest sister is going to be the queen, and Concubine Yun is going to Nanqing, so she is even more lazy to talk to them.
Especially the things my mother did after her father went to Suhe, not to mention Concubine Yun, even she couldn't bear to look at them.
Song Nian raised his head and said calmly to Song Yao: "Sister, people value themselves and others value them. Now that sister has not married to Qi Mansion, it is still too late, so please don't do anything extraordinary."
"As my eldest sister, I will be a high-ranking official in the future. As long as you and I keep quiet, we will only be honored and worshiped by others no matter where we go. If the commotion makes eldest sister lose even the last trace of affection, No, then the good times have really come to an end.”
"You are my sister after all. You will be prosperous and prosperous. I don't want you to make mistakes and regret for the rest of your life."
"How can you tell me to do something wrong?"
"Second sister, I'm tired. This is what my sister said. You can take care of yourself."
"Song Nian! Why are you like this now? But seeing Song Wan take the back seat feels like a big deal. I wish I could kneel in front of her and beg for mercy?"
"If it weren't for my father's partiality, I would be the one who should be sitting in that position now!"
Song Nian frowned slightly: "Is it possible that the second sister hasn't noticed yet that the position of Crown Princess and Queen was prepared for the eldest sister from the very beginning. From the beginning to the end, there has never been anything wrong with the second sister."
