The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

After coming to Chahar, the third prince, His Royal Highness King Su, didn't care about anything. He rode a horse and had fun on the grassland around the barracks all day long.

The work is handed over to the two tool workers from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Jing felt that the third brother's attitude towards work was simply insignificant, so he tried to persuade him twice, but it was useless, so he stopped. Anyway, the third brother is only here to supervise the work, as long as the work is completed on time, no matter how busy he is at work Whether you go for a walk or do something else, it has nothing to do with you.

It took three days for Li Zhao to finally hand over the work. At this time, Song Yaxin had already brought over a hundred catties of cotton seeds, and the rest of her colleagues were waiting for Song Qingyue to come and meet in Baoding Mansion.

Fourth brother Song Chenrui also came, and behind him was a little follower—sixth brother Song Chenxing, who was only thirteen this year.

Aunt He thought about it, and let him out just like that?Song Qingyue sighed inwardly, and chatted with the two brothers for a while.

This time, there are also three hundred brocade guards.Jinyiwei is located all over the country. Like all other administrative organizations, they are also divided into regions, and they will be rotated in a few years.

When Song Qingyue saw Feng Jin in the motorcade, she was quite surprised, thinking that going to such a bitter place in the northwest, why would it not be Mr. Feng's turn to go out in person, right?

Besides, he's not too old this year, he's twenty, right?If he doesn't stay in the capital to discuss relatives, but runs to the northwest, shouldn't his father be in a hurry?
She thought about it, but she just looked at Feng Jin twice, nodded to him, and got into the carriage as a greeting.

Feng Jin is the team leader this time, so naturally he wanted to come.

Master Feng Kun was almost pissed off by this little son, and he didn't know what was going on in this guy's head. He insisted on going to the Northwest for a rotation. It would take him three years to go back, and he missed the great opportunity of a blind date during the Chinese New Year. !
Feng Xuelan and Feng Xueru knew that the fourth uncle had gone to be a flower protector. Although this was destined to be a fruitless secret love, they couldn't control what the fourth uncle liked.That Princess Su Wang Shizi is indeed a top-notch beauty, and it is really difficult to ask Feng Jin to look at other people after seeing her.The two eldest nieces expressed their understanding, but they showed no sympathy. It was interesting to watch the play from the sidelines.

Song Yaxin and Song Qingyue were in the same car, and the two sisters would inevitably have some intimacy when they met. Li Zhao originally wanted to get in the car with Song Qingyue, but seeing his sister-in-law was also in the car, he had to pretend to chat and go to the other car. in the car.

But he looked back at Song Qingyue's car, got off his frame again, asked someone to bring his horse, and rode outside Song Qingyue's car window.

As the motorcade set off, Song Yaxin looked at Li Zhao riding a horse through the curtain of the window, and saw him glance at the window of the carriage from time to time, expecting his wife to open the window to look at her, as if she was clingy to her sister
Song Yaxin closed the small lattice window, covered her mouth and smiled at Song Qingyue.

"What are you laughing at!" Song Qingyue yelled at her sister.

Song Yaxin smiled so much that her eyes were bent, "His Royal Highness is so affectionate towards my sister."

Song Qingyue shook her head and laughed: "It's just a newlywed, after a while, it's not like this."

Song Yaxin hit Song Qingyue with a handkerchief: "You little girl, why do you always say disappointing things whenever this matter is mentioned."

Song Qingyue supported her head and leaned back on the cushion: "Sister, I'm different from you. No matter how high the official family is, it's not the royal family. As long as there is no big trouble, no one will care about a courtier's backyard. Li Zhao is different, there are always so many pairs of eyes staring at his backyard, and people will always enter in the future. You have to pour cold water on yourself from time to time to stay awake, sister!"

Song Yaxin frowned and looked at the helpless wry smile on Song Qingyue's face, and for a moment she silently rejoiced that she was not the one who married into Su Wang's mansion.

She took Song Qingyue's hand and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for you, sorry to see you."

Song Qingyue shook her head and squeezed her sister's hand: "It's not bitter, King Su and the prince are very kind to me."

"Where is the princess, the eldest son is not in the mansion, did you take the opportunity to embarrass you?" The two sisters simply changed the subject.

Don't talk about men, just talk about parents-in-law.

Song Qingyue smiled complacently: "The princess has the heart, but she doesn't have the guts. The prince is not here, so the prince will support me. Tell my sister a secret. After I entered the mansion, I didn't pay the princess much attention."

Song Yaxin was surprised: "No one said you?"

Song Qingyue didn't care, "Just say it, I'm not in good health and need to rest!"

Song Yaxin let out a chuckle, "You, you. It's you. If it was someone else, I would have been divorced and returned to my mother's house long ago."

Seeing that her sister is running around all day, her eyes are full of light, and she looks full of energy, Song Yaxin knows that her sister must be doing well.

She also understands that the private relationship between the prince and the concubine is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface, and it would be really stupid for a wife to go against her husband's wishes to please her stepmother-in-law.

Song Yaxin originally thought that Song Qingyue would be caught between the concubine and the prince, but it turned out that this girl directly took care of the prince and father-in-law. With the support of His Royal Highness Su Wang, even the concubine can't do anything to her. The palace walked sideways.

At home, my father dotes on the third younger sister the most, and often asks her to talk to her in the study in the front yard. I didn't expect her to be able to give His Highness King Su a high look when she enters the palace. This ability is really enviable.

Song Qingyue is most fortunate now that the relationship between Li Zhao and his father is very harmonious, and the father and father are so good that they wear a pair of underpants. If Li Zhao and his father are in the same situation, then she is really in danger.In that situation, she couldn't think of any way to protect herself.

After dark that day, the convoy arrived at Zhending Mansion, and the city gate was closed. Fortunately, there are several inns along the official road. A couple left a day earlier, and they have already booked their places to stay. Just assign a room. up.

In the evening, Song Qingyue naturally took her sister Song Yaxin to live with her.

The two of them lay on the same bed after bathing, and Song Yaxin smiled and said, "We were never as close as we are now when we were young."

Song Qingyue hummed, Song Yaxin talked about some chores at home, Aunt An seemed to be pregnant again, and started to make trouble with her stomach, but she accidentally fell and had a miscarriage, and second brother's marriage, said it was because There are too many ladies who want to marry Song Chenxu. Almost none of the matchmakers in the official media in Beijing have ever been to the Song Mansion. His wife, Mrs. Liang, thinks everyone is good, and there are also good friends among them. I am afraid that I will offend if I choose this one. The Liang family is in trouble.

"What about the second brother himself? He didn't like it?" Song Qingyue paid more attention to Song Chenxu's personal thoughts.

Song Yaxin shook her head: "How can he have any thoughts, he is either in the yamen or at home on weekdays, so he has no chance to meet any ladies."

"That's right..." Song Qingyue said awkwardly. In this era, there are no conditions for free love, so she suddenly sighed: "It would be great if women can be officials in the future. Half of the yamen are men and half are women. If you have the right eye, you can get married directly."

puff!
Song Yaxin was amused by Song Qingyue's idea, she shook her head again and again, and said, "That's not okay, if there are husband and wife teams in the yamen, it won't be a mess!"

She suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the most promising nephew of Aunt Cao's family has recently been engaged. It is said that she is an orphan girl. Both parents died at the age of ten. She set up the house with her grandmother. She is capable and looks good. It's also good-looking, and was caught by the young master of the Cao family, and it took more than a year to agree to this marriage."

"Really? This is good, what kind of girl is that? Sister, please be more specific." Song Qingyue regained her spirits.

Song Yaxin yawned: "Stop talking, I'm going to get up before dawn! Go to sleep, I can't hold on..."

"elder sister!"

……

The next day, I was called up just after the cock crowing time, and the current time would be three or four in the morning, and I was about to get up and get ready to go.Today is from Zhending to Taiyuanfu, less than [-] miles away. Fortunately, the entire road is covered with newly built cement concrete roads, and the car runs fast. The wheels are not afraid of getting stuck in the mud on rainy days. Let’s start now, maybe After falling down at the city gate, he rushed to Taiyuan Mansion.

Living in the city is always much safer than outside the city. In this era, there are wild beasts from time to time in the countryside. There is no food in the mountains in winter. Even if a big tiger enters the inn by the official road, it is not uncommon. The composition of the people outside the city is also relatively mixed. Beggars, vagabonds, and bandits generally live outside the city.In an important town like Taiyuan, there are especially many such people.

Song Qingyue didn't get enough sleep and was dizzy. Last night, she kept thinking about the fiancee of Master Cao's family. She got up in the middle of the night and wrote it in her little notepad before going to sleep.

Seeing that she didn't have any appetite for breakfast, and it wasn't time for her to eat, Song Qingyue got into the carriage directly and went to sleep.

Li Zhao looked at it with a smile, and asked Mo Yun to pack buns and snacks for her, and eat them on the way when she woke up.

Song Chenrui looked at it and smiled: "The third younger sister has been like this since she was a child, she does her own way, and no one can force her to get up early."

Song Yaxin took a look at her younger brother: "What do you mean doing your own way? The third younger sister has been weak since she was a child, so she needs to sleep more to support her health!"

Li Zhao nodded: "Auntie is right, Yue'er is weak and needs to sleep more."

Song Chenxing watched the fourth brother being squeezed out by King Su's son and the eldest sister, and laughed. Song Chenrui was not annoyed, but instead laughed and joked about Li Zhaolai: "I heard that there are many rare and good medicinal materials in the Tianshan Mountains and Qilian Mountains in the west. At that time, please ask your son not to be stingy with money."

Li Zhao smiled and shook his head: "It's not good for you to say that again. It doesn't matter if you underestimate my Highness, you still underestimate your third sister. What kind of treasure, how much does it have to be worth to be more valuable than your third sister?" He pointed at Song Chenrui and said , "Use your brain more before speaking in the future, otherwise you won't know when you offend someone."

Song Chenrui cupped his hands, expressing that he had been taught, and his attitude towards Li Zhao was more respectful, saying: "I will ask His Royal Highness for more advice in the future."

Li Zhaodao: "You don't need to be taught by this son, you can learn more from your elder sister."

Li Zhao continued to ride on this day, protecting Song Qingyue's frame.She didn't wake up until the sun came up.Woke up and ate two buns re-steamed in a self-heating lunch box and a bowl of tofu flower. The salted tofu flower was specially made by the store according to the recipe given by Mo Yun, and the diced pickles and dried coriander pickled by the servants of the palace were added. At the end, even the small shrimp skins from Jiangnan were brought and sprinkled inside. Finally, according to Song Qingyue's habit, white pepper was sprinkled and a spoonful of sesame oil was poured over.

Song Qingyue was holding this bowl of tofu flowers, and she just wanted to praise her subordinates for being detail-oriented, but they really brought everything with them. No wonder you guys, Mother Bai, Mo Yun and the others were able to pack three cars of luggage, no? Those who knew thought Song Qingyue was going to move.

"Sister, go on to talk about Young Master Cao's fiancée who has been courting for a year before agreeing to the marriage." Song Qingyue brought up the business after breakfast.

Song Yaxin smiled and said, "You still remember."

"Of course, if she is talented, I will promote her." Song Qingyue said seriously, "There will be many places where I need to employ people in the future."

Song Yaxin looked at the third younger sister with complex and curious eyes. Li Zhao said before leaving, "What treasure must be worth to be more valuable than your third younger sister?" Indeed, after the third younger sister came to the capital, she raised cattle and sheep, After that, it was mining. After digging the mines, she continued to make soap and woolen factories. She kept tossing about. Now she is taking herself to the northwest to open a woolen factory. What else does she want to do in the future... She seems to be able to think of endless things Lots of new ideas.

"Where did you come up with so many weird ideas?" Song Yaxin really couldn't understand.

"Well, maybe I was enlightened by a fairy when I was a child?" Song Qingyue winked mischievously at her sister.

"..."

Song Yaxin didn't know how to answer the words, and she even believed it in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it.They are both father's daughters, and she is still a legitimate daughter. Song Yaxin thinks that no matter whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, or housekeeping and financial management, she is not bad.But it seems that Song Qingyue is so different. She can conjure something that doesn't exist in this world. No one can compare to this.

"Okay, sister, please tell me about the girl that the young master of the Cao family likes!"

Probably because that girl is too special, and Song Yaxin knows it in detail, "That girl's surname is Tan. She started growing peppercorns from her great-grandmother, and gradually the business grew. From her grandmother, to her mother, and herself, every generation of Tan The big shopkeepers of the family business are all women, and if they can't give birth to a son, they recruit a son-in-law, but they just refuse to accept the heir sent by the relatives of the Tan family."

"That's really not easy." Song Qingyue admired sincerely, "A woman wants to support her own family, but also guards against a group of relatives who are like hungry wolves."

"Isn't that right? Miss Tan's mother was in a bad life. Seven years ago, when she and her husband went to run goods in the middle of Sichuan, there was a mudslide and they disappeared together. At that time, Miss Tan was only ten years old, and her grandmother died because of her mother's death. She died of a serious illness, and her health has not been very good since then. Over the years, Miss Tan has survived almost alone." Song Yaxin also sighed, "The relatives of her father's Luo family are not good. They were obviously poor back then. I can't afford to eat, and I have to ask my son to be the son-in-law of another family. After that, I still rely on the Tan family to live well. These people are not only not grateful, but they are thinking about the Tan family. The old lady of the Luo family looks at the Tan family. Only Miss Tan and her grandmother are left, thinking they are easy to bully, and in the name of Miss Tan's grandmother, they negotiate marriage with Uncle Yunyang's house, and they want to send Miss Tan to Bozhang's house in Yunyang to be a concubine!"

"Wait... Yunyang Earl's Mansion, Zhang Family?" Song Qingyue thought she was familiar with the elite circles in the capital, so why didn't she remember that there was such an Earl's Mansion?

Song Yaxin also showed sarcasm: "You haven't heard of it, have you? Aunt Cao said that I have never heard of such a family in our capital before. She said it was the Earl's Mansion. In fact, after the old uncle passed away, he will be reduced to a family. The Viscount. Originally, the Zhang family had found an errand for the eldest son of his family in the East Palace. After the collapse of the East Palace, the Zhang family was completely ruined. Pawning the old lady's dowry to live. It's all like that, and you still look down on Miss Tan, saying that she is a business girl, so she is not worthy to be the official wife of the prince of the Bofu."

"It's disgusting!" Song Qingyue frowned.

"There are even more disgusting things! This marriage is completely the result of the Luo family's self-talk. They even sent someone to the Tan family to ask for a dowry of 20 taels of silver, saying that they would help Miss Tan to keep it, and that she had to get it from the Luo family. The door was lifted out, but was beaten out by Tan Jiajia Ding, causing a lot of embarrassment.

But Luo's family had already accepted the dowry from Zhang's family, and because they didn't want to return it, they were punished by the uncle's house.

The marriage failed, so they wanted to go to Tan's shop to make trouble, to tarnish Miss Tan's reputation, saying that she had an affair with a boy from the Luo family, and insisted on forcing Miss Tan to marry their boy.Hey, why is there such a family! "

Song Qingyue was also angry after hearing this, squinting her eyes, thinking about how to find an opportunity to clean up the Luo family and the Zhang family, it was really outrageous, and asked: "Is the marriage date between Miss Tan and Master Cao fixed? The girl will give you a make-up gift."

Song Yaxin smiled and said: "Next June, you can give me a gift, and let's give Miss Tan a good face."

"But the two of them are engaged, who will own the child in the future? You can't let Young Master Cao go to the Tan family to be his son-in-law." Song Qingyue asked.

Song Yaxin said: "The old lady of the Tan family is open-minded, and she doesn't mind what the child's last name is. Anyway, the family business of the Tan family will only give birth to children for Miss Tan in the future."

Song Qingyue sighed: "If you can think this way, it can be seen that Mrs. Tan is also extraordinary. You can write a storybook about this matter!"

Song Yaxin shook her head: "Scholars don't like to read this kind of story. They just like to read the story of everyone's daughter falling in love with a poor scholar."

"That's right." Song Qingyue burst out laughing.
