Song Xiang stood up and said, "Since my aunt has something to tell my sister, I won't bother you here."
She felt slightly happy and was about to leave, but she heard Yang Pianzhi say: "If you stay, you will also hear about this."
While talking, Yang Pianzhi walked to the two of them and found an embroidered pillar to sit on.
Song Zhao had a meek temperament, even to the point of being a little cowardly, but Song Xiu was silent and could not tell anything.
"This matter has something to do with you."
Raising her hand to pour a bowl of tea on the table, Yang Pianzhi muttered: "Your father is not a thing. In his early years, he would rather leave home and stay away from home for a concubine. He probably doesn't care about you anymore."
"I'll take a look at your marriage and make the decision for you."
Song Xiang pinched the handkerchief slightly and sighed secretly.
Song Zhao kept looking at Yang Pianzhi, signaling his mother to stop saying these embarrassing words.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else that can't be said? Who knows that Song Laoer ran away and didn't come back for many years? Is there anything that can't be said?"
Yang Pianzhi turned around and said: "The same goes for your mother. She has shrunk into the Buddhist hall for so many years and ignored it. Now that you are older, you have to take care of the marriage, right? I think you have reached this age, and she Even though she can come out to meet people, I don’t think she even cares about her own daughter.”
"Mom likes to be quiet, and she also knows that her aunt is taking care of her, so she won't suffer any loss."
"I will take care of you, and the others will not know."
Yang Pianzhi looked at Song Xiang and felt satisfied when she saw that she had grown into a graceful person.
"The Queen has issued a decree, saying that the palace is going to hold a Spring Festival banquet, and she asked you two to attend the banquet. It is probably because she has ideas about your marriage."
When she mentioned Song Wan, Yang Pianzhi had complicated thoughts in her eyes, with a hint of disdain and a bit of envy.
"If she enters the palace and the marriage has to be decided by others, who knows what she is thinking, whether she is really kind or fake?"
"So I thought of asking you what you think of your marriage."
Song Zhao looked at Song Xiang, his face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hands hurriedly.
Her mother always doesn't follow her instructions when doing things, which really makes people don't know what to do.
I have never heard of anyone whose girl chooses her own marriage. If this spreads out, the reputation will be ruined.
Moreover, her mother only said that she was fine. If Song Xiang was harmed, she didn't know how to make amends.
Raising his hand to pull Yang Pianzhi, Song Zhao said: "This marriage matter is decided by the family. Mother, please don't shame us two anymore."
"Why are you ashamed? Didn't you see that the west door is closed tightly, and there are only three of you and me in the room?"
"You child, your daughter's marriage is the most important thing. How can you leave it to others?"
"Let me tell you, since the one in the first house climbed up the tree, your marriage has also become more popular, and I don't know how many people came to the house to submit the post."
Song Zhao and Song Xiu both lowered their heads and said nothing. Yang Pianzhi snorted: "If you two don't talk, I will be the first to say it. Zhao'er, I have my eye on the Qi family for your marriage."
"Qi family?"
Song Zhao's eyes widened: "Isn't that meant for Song Yao?"
Yang Pianzhi nodded, but there was a hint of melancholy on his face: "To be honest, there are many high-ranking people who come to our house to deliver messages, but I don't think it's good."
"Zhao'er, you know what the situation of our third bedroom is. Take the Cui family as an example. They didn't even look down on Song Yao before, but now they have sent this invitation to your mother and me."
"You think the Cui family is a shitty aristocratic family? From my perspective, they are just a family trying to gain fame."
"Song Xiang can go to such a family, but you can't go."
Song Xiang raised his head and glanced at Yang Pianzhi, sighed slightly and closed his eyes in silence.
Her aunt acted weirdly and unreasonably. In the past, she only felt that the other party was deliberately embarrassing her, but after getting along with her for many years, Song Xiang had to admit that most of the time, she was sincere for her.
Song Xiang lowered his eyelids, pretending that he didn't hear Yang Pianzhi's words.
Song Zhao, however, was blushing terribly. He carefully pulled Yang Pianzhi's sleeve under the table and winked at her.
"what you do?"
Waving Song Zhao's hand away, Yang Pianzhi continued: "Snobbish people like the Cui family will definitely not look down on the girl from our third wife."
"How difficult is the life of a daughter-in-law who is looked down upon by her husband's family?"
As he said that, Yang Pianzhi's tone softened.
Although Song Cangshun is the third master of the Song family, he is really not a good person.
Back then, she was determined to climb high, but she never thought of climbing up to a rotten coward. Over the years, she had never been looked down upon by anyone in or outside the mansion, and she certainly didn't want her daughter to live like this again.
"Although the Qi Mansion is in a state of decline, Qi Su Lun is still a decent man. Now he actually stands up for Song Yao. He is considered a kind and righteous man."
Song Xiang raised his head when he heard the words, slightly pursed his lips but said nothing.
Song Zhao blushed and murmured: "That's not why he should be doing it."
Her mother couldn't see such a simple truth. Song Zhao pinched the handkerchief and felt that her mother's choice of marriage for her was really not reassuring.
But Yang Pianzhi said: "Don't worry about what he is doing, just listen to my mother explain the truth to you."
"If Qi Su Lun is sincere, it means that he is a man with a good character. If he is not sincere, it means that the Qi family is full of ambition and is a fool of the whole family."
"Actually, based on my knowledge of Qi Mansion, it seems that Mrs. Qi did this."
"Zhao'er, it seems that such a family is unscrupulous in their behavior, but the more so, the more comfortable you will be in it and live comfortably."
"Do you know why?"
Song Zhao shook his head.
"Just because any relationship in this world, especially a couple lying together, should pay attention to interests. When interests are involved, the relationship should be seven or eight times more secure."
"The more the Qi family wants to exploit the queen's mother's family, the more they will support you. On the other hand, people like the Cui family may seem noble and have a good reputation, but in fact, their behavior is worse than that of the Qi family."
"They looked down on Song Yao before, but now they have sent messages to our room. You said you married into the Cui family, can they treat you sincerely?"
"Mother is afraid that while they want to use you to get close to the queen and the eldest prince, they will look down on you from the bottom of their hearts."
"If you marry such an upright family, you will only be abused by your husband's family in the future, and they will never treat you well."
"So my mother feels that they are not as good as Qi Mansion who show their greed. At least it will be easy for you to control them in the future."
"As long as the big one survives, you will be respected by your husband's family. More importantly, if you are wronged in the Qi family, your mother can help you deal with it, even if you knock on the door and tear the mouth of the old woman of the Qi family. , she doesn’t dare to do anything to me. But if you go to Cui’s house, your mother will be unable to speak even if you are treated harshly.”
Song Xiu's eyes seemed to be moved when he heard the words, and Song Zhao gradually felt that her mother's words were reasonable.
After thinking about it, Song Zhaolue felt a little guilty: "Since the Cui family is in such a bad situation, my mother would not say that I could marry her."
Yang Pianzhi shook his head and said: "Song Xiang is different from you. Her father is an official even if he is not in Beijing, and her mother comes from a prominent family. You and her..."
At this point, Yang Pianzhi paused slightly: "It's incomparable."
