Chapter seventy six(2/2)

"Yes." Aunt Liu agreed to retreat and went to the yard where Song Ruohu lived to visit her daughter.

Song Ruohu cried at the moment of seeing his biological mother, "Auntie, I won't marry, I won't marry. The person named Cai is Bai Ding, the son of a local rich man, I won't marry."

"How is this possible?" Aunt Liu was shocked, "This marriage was decided by your father for you, and it should be excellent."

"This is true for aunt. I won't marry. This marriage was not decided by my father, but by my wife urging her father to coax her father." Song Ruohu shouted in anger.

"Miss. Don't worry, as long as the matter is not settled for a day, there is still a possibility of change. When the master comes back from the yamen, I will invite the master to come and see the girl. The girl acts coquettishly to the master, making the master soft-hearted. As long as the master speaks, the marriage will be ruined." Aunt Liu comforted her.

Song Ruohu's swollen eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he said anxiously: "Auntie, go to the door and wait for my father. As soon as his father comes back, you will bring him here. You can't let him see his wife, so as not to coax his father to agree, and I will never be able to coax my father again."

"Miss, don't worry, aunt, go now." Aunt Liu nodded like pounding garlic, hurried out of the yard and headed to the second door, but unfortunately she was one step late.

Song Sui received a report from the court and asked him to return to Beijing to report his work. He was stunned for a long time, with mixed joys and sorrows. He was happy that he would be promoted, but worried that he would live under the eyes of his biological father and mother.

Whether Song Sui was happy or worried, he had to go back to the capital. He left the yamen early and went home to discuss things with Ji Yun. When Aunt Liu entered the yard of Song Ruohu, he entered the second gate. When Aunt Liu comforted her daughter and rushed to the second gate, he had already entered Ji Yun's yard.

"Madam, we are going back to Beijing!"

Ji Yun pretended to be shocked, "Why did you want to go back to Beijing? What big thing happened at home?"

"Don't be afraid of Madam, it's because my husband wants to return to Beijing to report his work."

"Return to Beijing to report your job?" Ji Yun laughed, "Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Your term of office is still one year. If you return to Beijing to report your job, don't coax me and play."

"If you don't coax you, the court newspaper has arrived, look." Song Sui said with a smile.

After seeing it, Ji Yun smiled and said, "I congratulate you on your progress."

"But after entering Beijing, we have to live in the mansion again, and my wife is afraid that she will be wronged again." Song Sui sighed.

"She is an elder, and I should be respectful and give in as a junior. I don't feel wronged. The master doesn't have to worry about me. When we return to the capital, we have to handle some things and find a good job for the master."

Song Sui said with a frown: "Now that you are tight on your hands, so you can get some silver."

Ji Yun smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. When I was preparing the New Year's Ceremony, I had already borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from my third brother, planning to prepare a dowry for several girls. Now I will use it first. When the master's position is promoted, the family will have no worries."

When Song Sui heard Yin Liang not worry, he was about to show joy, Ji Yun frowned and shouted, "Oh!"

"Madam, what's wrong?" Song Sui was shocked.

"If I had known that the master had returned to Beijing to report his job, I shouldn't have listened to the master. I would have discussed the marriage and engagement for the eldest girl so soon. Maybe there would be a better candidate when I returned to Beijing. Now I have all the Geng Tie, so I can't change it even if I want to." Ji Yun said with annoyance.

Song Sui stroked his beard and said, "It is best to make Huer's marriage. Return to Beijing to save trouble."

"What if the old lady misunderstood that we don't want her to care about this matter and get engaged to the eldest girl before entering Beijing?" Ji Yun heard the meaning of Song Sui's words and deliberately made it clear.

"Huer is my daughter. What's the problem with her marriage, my father?" Song Sui looked stern. If he could, he would also like to decide the marriages of the other three daughters so that his mother would not point fingers.

"What the master said," Ji Yun said with a smile.

"You have told Hu'er about her engagement?"

"I have promised her, but she is not very satisfied. She said that it was Bai Ding, the farmer's son, who made a noise here." Ji Yun sighed, "I have asked Aunt Liu to persuade her. Master, don't worry, she is a sensible child, and will understand your hard work."

Song Sui frowned and said, "This matter is decided. No matter how noisy she makes, please marry her out after a while."

"If the master stays in Beijing as an official, the Cai family will go to the capital to marry him. This journey is a bit farther."

"Time is too tight, otherwise..." Song Sui waved his hand, "Forget it, stop talking about this, Madam, hurry up and clean up, and ask the children to hurry up and clean up. Seven days later, we will set off for Beijing, don't miss the date."

"I know."

"Get the study to pack the books for your husband." Song Sui didn't even change his official uniform and went out excitedly to the study. This time he could be promoted to the fourth rank, which was higher than the official position of his elder brother and second brother.

Aunt Liu only found out that Song Sui had returned when she arrived at the second gate, so she hurriedly walked back. She saw Song Sui from a distance and shouted, "Master."

Men are sensory animals. Aunt Liu was confined to her for many days. This afternoon, Ji Yun was so anxious that she didn't have time to dress up. She was two years older than Song Sui, and she was over 40 years old. She had less concealment of rouge powder on her face, her eyelids were swollen and wrinkles were obvious.

When Song Sui saw Aunt Liu like this, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Master, go and meet the big girl. The big girl has something to say to you." Aunt Liu said gasping.

"I know everything she wants to say, no need to see her. You go and tell her that this marriage was decided by me and there will be no change. If she makes a noise again, don't blame me for asking the family law to teach her a lesson." Song Sui walked away quickly.

"Master, Master, you can't do this! Master... Old..." Aunt Liu followed behind and slid, and she fell to the ground. When she got up, the people in front had long left without a trace. She dared not go to Song Sui's study room. She stood on the road and didn't know where to go.

At this time, a little maid came over with a broom and asked curiously: "Auntie, what are you doing here?"

Aunt Liu's eyes were straight and she stared at her in a daze.

"Auntie, you should go back to pack up quickly. The master is going to go back to Beijing to report his work." The woman smiled.

Return to Beijing! Aunt Liu's dim eyes lit up. When she returned to Beijing, she could ask the old lady to take charge and resolve the marriage. The old lady was the master's legitimate mother. The master dared not ignore the old lady's words and ran to Song Ruohu's yard with ecstasy, "Girl, girl."

"Father is here!" Song Ruohu thought Song Sui was here, and greeted him with joy, but only saw Aunt Liu, and his face darkened, "Where is Father?"

"Girl, the master refuses to terminate this marriage." Song Ruohu shook his body, and Aunt Liu supported her, "Girl, the master wants to return to Beijing to report his work. We can ask the old lady to take charge of the marriage and make another good marriage."

"Will the old lady do this?" Song Ruohu was eleven years old when he left Beijing, and her relationship with Old Lady Song was not very close.

"The old lady has never liked her wife. As long as you say that this marriage was decided by the wife, the old lady will definitely make a mess." Aunt Liu was originally a maid next to Mrs. Song. When Ji Yun was pregnant, the old lady forced Song Sui's biological mother, Aunt Huang, to give her to Song Sui.

"Really?" Song Ruohu couldn't believe it.

"When will the aunt have lied to you?" Aunt Liu sneered gloomyly, "At that time, the old lady will definitely find a good marriage for the girl, let the girl get married with a glorious manner, and anger that woman to death."

Song Ruohu was convinced by his biological mother's words, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Auntie, let's pack up our things and return to Beijing."

Song Sui wanted to return to Beijing to report his work, but he was busy handing over the handover in the yamen.

Ji Yun was busy cleaning up the people and came to Guangling to bring eighteen family servants and sixteen maids. The other servants bought them in Guangling Mansion. Within five years, seven of the eighteen family servants had broken up and sold them all, and there were only ten of the sixteen maids left, most of them were worthy of the people.

These eleven household servants and ten maids were going to go back to Beijing with the Song family. Ji Yun planned to choose some honest and honest to take them back, and send them to the village outside the city. The Chinese New Year is coming, and she can't bear to let these people who have served her for several years be left untouched.

The departed official sold his servants to others and left them, leaving them without caring about life and death. Ji Yun's arrangement made those who were unable to go back to Beijing very grateful. In addition, Ji Yun also sent them the red envelopes for the New Year in advance. After spreading it, everyone praised Mrs. Song as a living Bodhisattva.

When my parents were doing their own things, Song Ruoxi was not at ease. He stood in the house holding a handwarmer, directing the maids to pack the boxes. "I had known that I would have lived here for two or three months, so I wouldn't take out the things. Now it's convenient."

"It would have been better if there was one in the world!" The silkworm laughed and moved the huge wooden box from the storage room. "Girl, this box comes in handy this time, and it can hold a lot of things."

Song Ruoxi sneered, "Yes, yes, he is so foresighted."

Xiangxiu put some debris into the box.

Song Ruoxi sighed: "It's all not very valuable things. How great it would be to pack a box of gold!"

"I didn't expect that the elegant and refined sister Xi'er was a wealthy fan!" Yi Youde's playful voice rang outside the house.

Song Ruoxi was stunned and smiled and greeted him, "Sister De'er, why are you here?"

"It's not just her coming, we're here too." Zhang Wanmei was following several girls, all of whom had acquaintances with Song Ruoxi in the past two or three months. They came to see off Song Ruoxi.

"Oh, the room is messy, there is not even a place to ask you to sit down and serve tea. It's so rude." Song Ruoxi said embarrassedly.

"Sister Xi'er, don't be so polite. Let's go to the capital tomorrow. You can greet us again!" Yi Youzhen said with a smile.

Several girls knew that Song Ruoxi was busy and did not waste her time. They stood in the room and chatted for a few words, then put down their things and said goodbye.

On the other hand, Ji Yun and Mrs. Yi agreed that when the two brothers of the Yi family went to Beijing to participate in the autumn examination, they could live in the Song family or the Ji family, and the two families would definitely help with the care.

Mrs. Yi thanked her repeatedly and gave her a generous gift.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is auspicious and it is appropriate to travel. The Song family set off for return to Beijing.
