As soon as Song Ruoxi entered the bathtub, Song Ruoying and Pan Miaoling entered the yard and walked straight into the room. Xiangduo stopped them with a smile, "Miss Three, cousin, my girl is taking a bath..."

"Seventh sister is really particular. She will take a shower and change clothes as soon as she comes back. It won't be enough to wait for a while!" Song Ruoying curled her lips.

"As long as the girl goes out, she will have to take a shower and change clothes when she comes back." Xiangduo's words mean that Song Ruoxi did not deliberately go to take a shower to avoid them. This is her usual habit.

"It's clean and refreshing." Pan Miaoling smiled, "Sister Three, are we sitting in the yard waiting for Sister Qi, or are we waiting for Sister Qi when we enter the room?"

"The sun is so sunny outside, so I naturally wait in the house." Song Ruoying shook the round fan with a swimming fish in her hand, and walked into the house. When she entered the door, she found that there were a few more decorations in the house. She glanced over and saw that the one suitable for touching her.

Although the maids were impatient to greet them, they were the masters after all, so they did not dare to be too negligent and were properly served with tea and pastries.

Song Ruoying and Pan Miaoling slowly drank tea in the hall, making up their minds to wait for Song Ruoxi. Song Ruoxi lived a comfortable life in the Ji family, and did not want to be foolish when they came back, say hypocritical words, and spend time in the bathtub.

Xiangxiu was afraid that she would be cold, so she would seep hot water into the bucket from time to time.

After soaking in hot water for half an hour, her skin was soaked that it was almost wrinkled. Knowing that the two of them had not left yet, Song Ruoxi sighed helplessly, saying that his skills were not as good as others, so he had to put on his clothes and come out to see people, "I'm sorry to let the third sister and sister Ling wait for a long time."

"Seventh sister has been washing for a long time." Song Ruoying said with resentment. One reason was that Song Ruoxi had washed for too long, which made her drink a stomach full of water; the other reason was that these maids were staring too tightly, which made her unable to touch the dozen pebbles-sized seed jade placed in the basin of the jade carved daffodil.

Sky blue embroidered green calyx plum with half-sleeved double-breasted robe, light blue stand-up collar, white long skirt, tied with a white magnolia hairpin and a semi-wet cloud bun. Her white and tender skin was faintly pink, and her bright eyes were flowing, and she was extremely gorgeous. Pan Miaoling was stunned when she looked at Song Ruoxi after the bath. No wonder her second brother would never forget such a beauty. If it weren't for the rash on her face, she would have gone to the Ji family to find someone long ago.

Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "The carriage is so bumpy, I just want to bubble more and get rid of the fatigue. It is my little sister's fault. I'll apologize to my third sister here."

"After just a few steps, the seventh sister was hurt by the bumpy whole body. She was really a delicate body!" Song Ruoying said sarcastically.

"Sister Qi's half-sleeved pattern looks very beautiful." Pan Miaoling distorted the words and reached out to pick up Song Ruoxi's sleeves and took a closer look. "The material is light and soft when it touches. I don't know where it was sold. I asked my mother to buy one for me to make clothes."

"The fabrics in Jinge and Pinxiu Building in Beijing are the best, but ordinary people can't afford them." Song Ruoying glanced at Pan Miaoling with contempt. Since Pan Miaoling came, the most favored person in front of Old Mrs. Song has changed, which made Song Ruoying very dissatisfied and took the opportunity to mock the decline of the Pan family.

A hint of anger flashed in Pan Miaoling's eyes, and she went back without sarcasm, "Sister Qi, I have been in Beijing for so long and haven't gone out to play yet. I'll ask my mother to take us to play on the street tomorrow, okay?"

Song Ruoxi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I just came back from my grandmother's house today and went out tomorrow. My grandmother would be angry."

"I'll go and tell my grandmother, and my grandmother will agree." Pan Miaoling smiled.

"Don't worry, Sister Qi, I'll help you talk about your bride, anything will be done." After Song Ruoying settled the kiss, she was detained in the room to embroider the dowry. She hasn't gone out for a long time. Thinking of going to play tomorrow, she will hold back her jealousy and hatred for Pan Miaoling. "Tomorrow we will go to the street to have a good look, buy some gadgets, and go to the food building for lunch. I heard that the fried turtle doves there are only one thing."

"My mother won't agree." The old lady didn't work, Song Ruoxi pushed Ji Yun out to block her.

"Sister Qi doesn't want to go out with us?" Pan Miaoling's eyes were filled with tears. Song Ruoxi dared to say he didn't want to, so she cried to show her.

"What is Sister Ling saying? Why would I not want to go out to play with my sisters? But yesterday I went to Taohua Temple to worship Buddha and made a great wish in front of the Bodhisattva, and wanted to copy a hundred sutras to offer them to the Bodhisattva and pray for blessings for my grandfather." Song Ruoxi knew what the Pan family had about it, so how could he be deceived?

"I have only been out for a day and will not delay you copying scriptures." Song Ruoying frowned.

Song Ruoxi sighed pretendingly, "I have been delayed for a day today and go out to play tomorrow. What if the Bodhisattva thinks I am not sincere enough? I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva that I must copy the scriptures by myself before my grandfather's birthday. Although I really want to go out to play, praying for my grandfather is a big deal. I should wait until I copy the scriptures and go out to play with my sisters."

Speaking of this, Pan Miaoling would dare to continue to persuade her to go out, but she was disrespectful and unfilial. After spending so much effort and not getting things done yet, Pan Miaoling held her breath and said goodbye.

Song Ruoying walked past the pot of jade carved daffodils, paused for a moment, and quickly grabbed the pot with the cover of the round fan, grabbed three seed jades in his hand, and raised the corners of his lips, which was worth the trip.

When he left the house, Song Ruoying asked Pan Miaoling, "Will you still go out tomorrow?"

Pan Miaoling glanced at her, "My third sister grew up in Beijing, and she often comes and goes on the streets. Why are she more active than me?"

"Only small families are small, they often come and go on the street. I think that my sister Ling must have been like this before at home, so she doesn't care if she doesn't go out. I keep my mind at the rules of the boudoir and don't go out the door. If I can go out for the first time, I will be happy to go out for the street." Song Ruoying became coquettish and always spoke directly, but she was holding her breath again, so she naturally didn't hesitate to speak.

Pan Miaoling was so angry that her face turned pale when Song Ruoying said, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I am a girl from a small family. If I can't stand up to you, a lady from a wealthy family, I don't have to walk with you."

Song Ruoying snorted coldly, raised her chin, walked a few steps, left Pan Miaoling's master and servant behind her, left Zhuyinyuan, and did not go to Songheyuan, but returned to Lanpuyuan.

The more Pan Miaoling thought about it, the more angry they became. The cousins ​​of the Song family were all above the top. Although the Pan family was not as rich as the Song family, they were not small families. Why should they look down on others? With her appearance and family background, they would definitely be able to make a good marriage. At that time, who is higher and lower may be better?

While thinking about it, he entered the gate of Songheyuan and felt angry. Pan Miaoling did not go to Old Lady Song's room and went to Dongjiaofang to find his second aunt's wife.

"Has she agreed to go?" The second aunt waved her hand and drove the maids out of the room and asked hurriedly.

Pan Miaoling said everything angrily, and said angrily: "Mom, is it so difficult to do this? You just tell your grandparents that you betrothed her to your second brother, wouldn't it be? If this continues, what kind of face will I have?"

"It's good to have it so easy." The second aunt's wife is no longer as arrogant and ignorant as she was more than 20 years ago. She knows that Song Ruoxi's identity is different. Not to mention the Ji family for the time being, the Pan family can no longer reach the official position of Song Sui. If she doesn't follow this evil path, how can she get married smoothly?

"Give it up, grandparents are naturally willing to do it." Pan Miaoling's idea was simple.

The second aunt looked at Pan Miaoling and felt that her daughter had grown up and was still so ignorant. She should teach her that she would not suffer any loss when she got married in the future. "Ling'er, your grandmother, I can persuade her to agree, but your grandfather would definitely not agree. The seventh girl is a legitimate child, and she has a grandfather with a first-rank official, the eldest uncle of the second-rank official, the second uncle of the grandson, and the third uncle of the rich family. Such a family is among the best in Beijing. What kind of high-ranking families should not be able to reach? Why should you give your second brother, Bai Ding?"

"The second brother is Bai Ding, but his grandfather is the second-rank official, his eldest uncle is the fifth-rank official, and his third-rank official!"

"Who are your brother's grandparents and uncles from Qiya?" Mrs. Ergu raised her eyebrows and asked with a funny look.

Then Pan Miaoling realized that it was Song Ruoxi's grandfather, uncle and father. Her uncle and nephew were close relatives, but her relatives were just father and daughter. "She was like a stubborn stone, and she couldn't even tell her."

The second aunt narrowed her eyes and said, "This girl is like her mother, she is so slim and can't be slick."

"What should I do?" Pan Miaoling asked pouted.

The second aunt smiled coldly and was about to speak when she heard Pan Shiwei saying outside the door: "Mom, I'm coming in."

"Come in!" Mrs. Second Aunt replied with a smile.

Pan Shiwei asked excitedly when he entered the door: "Mom, is the seventh sister back?"

The second aunt's eyes flashed, "I'm back. Your sister has just been here to sit for a while and invites her to go on the street tomorrow."

"I'll go too." Pan Shiwei said anxiously.

"Wei'er, I heard that you followed Liu Yatou to enjoy the flowers in the garden a few days ago. Is this a matter?" The second aunt's wife did not say that Song Ruoxi did not agree and asked something else.

"This is the case." Pan Shiwei replied indifferently.

"Ling'er, go talk with your grandmother." Some things were not good to say in front of her unmarried daughter, and her second aunt gave Pan Miaoling away.

Pan Miaoling curled her lips and stood up and left.

"Wei'er, which one do you like these six girls or seven girls?" asked the second aunt's wife.

"Both like it." Pan Shiwei's face was as thick as a city wall, and the lion opened his mouth wide. "Mom, I want to marry the seventh sister as my wife, and the sixth sister as my second wife."

The second aunt did not expect Pan Shiwei's ambition to be so great. She was stunned for a while and said, "You don't think about this anymore, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Pan Shiwei's lustful face showed up again, "The two sisters are both beautiful, I can't bear to leave that, I want both."

The second aunt had to say that kind of matchmaking again, "The sixth girl is a illegitimate child, your eldest uncle is a fifth-rank official, which is not very helpful to your future, the seventh girl is a legitimate child, and your third uncle is a step-by-step promotion. With his support, you have a promising future, how many beauties you have to accept."

Pan Shiwei lowered his head and thought about it again and again. He couldn't bear to let go of this and that, and in the end, the beauty was even better than that, and the selection of Song Ruo, who was more beautiful, made a choice, and put on a hero's expression of cutting his arm and said, "I can only let down my sixth sister."

"It's too late tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will invite your grandmother and family to go to the theater to watch the show. Let your sister pull Qi Yatou to the pavilion in the backyard of the actor to talk to her. Then you go over and chat with her and then talk to her. I will take your grandmother and Ji over there. At that time, this matter will be done." The second aunt smiled cunningly.

Pan Shiwei nodded like pounding garlic.

The mother and son believed that no one knew about the negotiation, but were not careful of the roof. After hearing the two of them, their purple figure flew away, as fast as a shooting star.

In the evening, Song Sui was busy with official duties and did not go home. It was just that the Honglu Temple was in charge of court meetings, guests, good and bad rituals. Now, there were neither ceremonies, sacrifices, banquets, imperial banquets, enthronements, promotions, and other matters, nor were there any external officials paying homage to the public. The foreigners paid tribute and the envoys replied, Xie Si was not the main solar terms such as the Shangyuan and Chongwu. I really didn't know that he had so much official duties to be busy with.

Song Ruoxi didn't dare to mention this in front of Ji Yun, for fear of making her sad, so she hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Mom, I went fishing with my grandfather that day and even grilled fish. The fish I roasted was all black, but it tasted good. Mom, if we have time another day, let's go again, okay?"

Ji Yun smiled and pinched her cheek, "Oh, I have a wild girl and I just want to run out all day long."

"There are those who are mothers who squeeze their daughters like this." Song Ruoxi intended to make Ji Yun happy, sat up straight, raised her fingers, and showed a dignified and generous manner, with red lips slightly opened, "I am not a wild girl, I am a lady from a famous family."

Seeing her pretending, Ji Yun couldn't help laughing, pointing at her, saying, "Oh, you are so spoiled by your grandmother. You are so shameless and shameless that you don't know how shy you are."

"I don't need to be shy in front of my mother." Song Ruoxi threw herself into Ji Yun's arms, "Say whatever you have."

Ji Yun smiled and hugged her and shook her slowly.

When Song Sui didn't come back, Ji Yun sent someone to tell the two concubines and three concubines that she didn't have to come over and the mother and daughter used dinner together.

After dinner, Song Ruoxi chatted and laughed with Ji Yun until Xu Shishi was right, but Song Sui came back yet. Is the official business in the yamen really so busy? Is a fourth-rank official still busy with first-rank official and second-rank official?

"Fucha, go and bring the glass lamp that the master brought back a few days ago." Ji Yun said with a smile.

Fucha went to the side room and brought a transparent and exquisite glass lamp.

"It's dark, you can hold this lamp in your hand to illuminate it." Ji Yun put the lamp into Song Ruoxi's hand, "It's getting late, go back to your room and rest."

"Mom, you should go to bed early and rest, don't mess up your body." Song Ruoxi said.

"Mom knows." Ji Yun sent her out and ordered her maid to serve her well. She watched her daughter's slender figure gradually disappear into the night before turning back to the room.
