Chapter 238 The delicate relationship between the concubines
Please stop, talk a few gossips, everyone said goodbye and left. After leaving the courtyard, Ye Shuhua and Ye Xiaoliang brothers went to Zhongyong Hall. Mrs. Xiaobin looked at Jiang Minghong, wanted to speak but stopped, and left with other wives.
He lifted his chariot over, and Song Ruoxiu held Xiangxiu's hand and wanted to go up. Jiang Minghong shouted from behind: "Sister-in-law Yuxian."
Song Ruoxi stopped, turned around and smiled, "Fifth brother and sister."
"I have something to do with my brother and sister. Why don't I see the eldest, third and fourth sister-in-law come to pay my respects to my mother?" Jiang Minghong frowned and her round face was full of doubt.
"The eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, and the fourth sister-in-law live in the public mansion outside the city. They come to the city once every ten days to pay their respects to their mother." Song Ruoxi explained.
"So that's how it is. We are the sisters-in-law in the city." Jiang Minghong smiled and bowed slightly, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to take care of her in the future."
Song Ruoxi smiled and bowed and said, "It's just for each other to take care of each other."
Jiang Minghong's eyes flashed and she said, "If I am idle in the future, I will go to talk to my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, don't think I'm annoyed."
"When my brother and sister are idle, just come to my room to play." Song Ruoxi smiled.
The two of them were different from each other. After a few words of politeness, they each got on their shoulder chariots and took their maids away.
The next day, the delegations from Wei, Yi and Beiyi set off and returned home.
When he saw off the Three Kingdoms Mission, the battalions responsible for monitoring and guarding were relieved and the host left.
Ye Xiaojing investigated Li Siquan without any progress. He did not give up, but he was still chasing around the city like a headless fly. Ye Fan watched coldly, not stopping his actions, but was more disappointed with his performance.
In the afternoon of that day, Song Ruoxi fell asleep and sat in Xiliang Pavilion to copy scriptures. The 19th day of June was her birthday and the day of Guanyin Bodhisattva's enlightenment. He copied the Diamond Sutra and went to the Buddha to worship and pray for blessings.
"Mrs. Young Madam, Mrs. Jiang is here." Xiangduo walked in to report.
Song Ruoxi was stunned. Unexpectedly, Jiang Minghong's words were not polite words. He said yesterday that he would come today. Since the person was here, he could not go out, but she did not plan to go out. She was wearing a pajama pajama with a pale blue silk and her hair was tied high on top of her head with a white magnolia flower hairpin. This would be difficult to see guests, so she would dress up again and change her clothes before she went to see Jiang Minghong.
"Let your brother and sister wait for a long time." Song Ruoxi entered the door and said with a smile.
Jiang Minghong stood up and smiled and said, "I look at my sister-in-law's yard, which is much bigger than mine, and the decoration is better than that in my room."
This was said bluntly and rudely, which made everyone in the house frown. Can the yard of the concubine's son be compared with the yard of the young city lord?
Song Ruoxi's expression froze for a moment, and he followed suit, and asked directly: "Is there anything wrong with the fifth brother and sister coming here?"
"What can I do? I'm just being idle and coming to talk to my sister-in-law." Jiang Minghong said with a smile.
Song Ruoxi didn't believe this, but she couldn't guess what she was doing. Seeing Xiangduo bringing tea in, she smiled and said, "Please have tea with brother and sister."
"It's hot weather, I don't drink hot tea." Jiang Minghong said.
Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly, "Go and bring a bowl of iced sour plum soup to the fifth lady."
Xiangduo turned around and went out to serve the sour plum soup.
Jiang Minghong glanced around and saw the book on the edge of the couch, and smiled and said, "I haven't arrived yet. I'm a fairy-like figure like my sister-in-law, and I can also see these things."
"I am a very ordinary person, so I can only look at these passing time. When my younger brother and sister look like ladies who came out of famous paintings in the previous dynasty, they must be happy with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day." Song Ruoxi stabbed her. The ladies in the paintings are all relatively plump, but a hundred years have passed, and now they no longer regard fat as beautiful as the previous dynasty, but thin as beautiful.
"When I was a girl, I had such leisure and leisure. Now I am busy taking care of my husband, not as free as my sister-in-law."
Song Ruoxi shook the fan and covered it up, hid behind the fan and curled his lips disdainfully. After only a few days of kissing, he ran to her to say this. What does it mean? His eyes turned and he said, "I am not as capable as my brother and sister, and I can take care of everything. I can have so much free time to rest. Thanks to the wet nurses and the others, if it weren't for their help, I would have made a mess and exhausted."
"It is a blessing for me to help the young lady share her worries." Ouyang took over the conversation and said.
Song Ruoxi glanced at Ouyang with approval.
Jiang Minghong was about to say something, but Xiangduo was holding two bowls of sour plum soup. Song Ruoxi said: "My brother and sister drink a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat. Come over with such a big sun, don't get sick with heat."
"I'm in good health. I don't think it's too sunny at all. Sister-in-law is too coquettish." Jiang Minghong raised her eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, I'm a straightforward person, don't mind."
Song Ruoxi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said with a slight smile: "If you don't mind, I just like straightforward people."
After drinking the sour plum soup, Jiang Minghong said, "The taste of this sour plum soup is strange, not as good as my home cooks."
Song Ruoxi's mouth twitched, it was so weird that it was not good to drink, and she had finished drinking it.
Jiang Minghong was joking and procrastinating for nearly an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, she left with her maid.
Qinghe asked in confusion: "Mrs. Young lady, what exactly are she doing here?"
Song Ruoxi rolled his eyes and asked, "Qinghe, do you have any brain problems?"
Qinghe was stunned and smiled embarrassedly, "I am a little stupid."
"A stupid brain is better than a stupid brain. Don't think about the reasons why those brainless people do things, otherwise you will become a brainless person and do things that normal people don't understand." Song Ruoxi untied her outer clothes and socialized with Jiang Minghong, sweating all over.
Everyone started to laugh.
After laughing, Xiangxiu frowned and said, "If these fifth ladies come every day, how can they be better?"
"Then let's play with her, just be a monkey show." Song Ruoxi unbuttoned her outer skirt and lay on the couch covered with jade mats, sighing, "Anyway, I'm idle."
"I'm afraid that the young lady will make her funny twice, so I feel annoyed and ignore her. It will be easy to ask God to send him to God at that time." Xiang Xiu said.
"It will only be annoying for a year, I can bear it." Song Ruoxi smiled.
Everyone thought about it, but no matter how difficult it is to get along with Jiang Minghong, she moved out a year later and endured it.
One day later, Jiang Minghong came again in the scorching sun, and talked for another hour, and followed a bag of new tea in Song Ruoxi before leaving.
On the fourth day of June, after the Great Heat solar term, the weather became hotter and hotter. The red sun in the sky baked the earth like a fireball, and the heat waves rolled, and even the cicadas on the trees were weak. Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuting were so hot that they begged the county lord Zhaoping to take them to Qichun Garden to escape the heat.
"You guys go back and clean up now. We will go tomorrow morning." The Lord of Zhaoping went there every year. This year, because Ye Xiaoliang got married, it has not been done yet. As soon as the two of them said that, she agreed.
Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuting smiled and went back to the yard to pack up their things.
Jiang Minghong sat in her seat in a slutty manner. As her daughter-in-law, she had to go with her to serve her when she went out, but she was still in the wedding day, just like a tangled day. When she was in spring every night, she was willing to leave Ye Xiaoliang for half a step. She was very dissatisfied with this proposal. This dissatisfaction was mainly aimed at Song Ruoxi. Ye Shuting had not gotten married yet, and the couple was unclear. But Song Ruoxi had experienced it, how could she do such a thing? It made her in a dilemma!
The Lord Zhaoping also came from her youth. Seeing that she knew her intentions, she smiled and said, "You just came in and took over the matter in the yard. It was a time of chaos. Don't follow me this time and concentrate on the matter in the yard."
When Jiang Minghong heard this, she was happy and stood up quickly and said, "Yes, mother."
When Jiang Minghong said goodbye and left, Madam Zhou stepped forward and said, "Madam is so soft-hearted. If she is a servant, she will make things difficult for her. Then there is a reason why a daughter-in-law doesn't serve her mother-in-law."
"I have a daughter-in-law to serve her, so I don't need her." County Lord Zhaoping said with a faint smile.
"That's right, the young lady is the wife's daughter-in-law. What are they?" Madam Zhou smiled.
"This time you will stay in the city to manage the business."
Madam Zhou picked up the teacup and handed it to the county lord Zhaoping, "Madam, don't worry, I will keep an eye on you and will not let them make a monster."
"I'm sure I have you here." The Zhaoping County Lord smiled, took the tea, and took a sip.
The next morning, Ye Shuhua escorted the Zhaoping County Lord, Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuting to Qichun Garden.
Ye Shuhua had something to do, so they returned to the city after they settled down. In the afternoon, Yue and Chen entered the garden and said they were here to serve their mother.
The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and said, "This year is not as good as in previous years. You all have to take care of the internal affairs of the mansion. I don't need to follow the rules here. Go and do your business. Taking good care of my good granddaughter is to respect me. Brother Gong's wife is pregnant, and Xiaogong is out again. There is no one to take care of her. Be careful. You stay here for one night today and go back tomorrow!"
Yue and Chen pretended to say a few words in the scene, then followed her advice and returned to the city after breakfast the next day.
The temperature in the cave was ten degrees lower than outside, which was cool and pleasant. The three of them lived a leisurely and leisurely life, and they were happy.
From the fifth to the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Ye Fan came to the garden twice, and Ye Shuhua came five times.
The Zhaoping County Lord was both happy and envious when he saw the couple so obsessed.
On the fifteenth, Madam Zhou entered the garden.
When the Zhaoping County Lord saw her coming, he sent Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuhua away, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing happened." Madam Zhou laughed, "Madam, you have forgotten what you often talked about a few days ago."
The county lord Zhaoping was stunned, thought for a while, patted his forehead and said, "I'm old and I'm gone. I almost forgot that this month is the 19th day of Yuxian's sixteen-year-old Fangchen."
Madam Zhou smiled and took out the menu from her arms, "Madam, can this menu be appropriate?"
The Zhaoping County Lord looked at it and frowned, "Why are all vegetarian dishes?"
"Madam, June 19th is the day of Guanyin Bodhisattva's enlightenment. The young city lord and the young lady need to eat vegetarian food. I think that the young lady, the birthday star, eats vegetarian food, so the others should eat vegetarian food."
The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and nodded, "You have thought it through very carefully, just do it."
