The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 28 Punishment
The shadowy candlelight made the figure slender. Song Jinyue stood in the corridor with her fingers intertwined, and the figure on the ground became a little more agile.

She followed the shape of the bird perched on the porch with her tender fingers, and immediately a lively bird spread its wings as if it was going to jump out of the dark shadow.

"Miss, let's rest early." Qiu Yun followed the lady's gaze to a black shadow on the ground, and persuaded.

"Okay." Song Jinyue let go of her hand, and the agile bird shadow on the corridor disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.

"Chunchan and Yunxing..." Qiu Yun followed the young lady into the room, and only then asked about the two maidservants who were still kneeling on the porch at the entrance of the courtyard.

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, without saying a word, raised her hand to untie the cloak tied around her shoulders, Qiu Yun took the cloak, turned around and hung it on the black lacquered huanghuali wooden frame beside the bed.

Qiu Yun would never try to persuade the young lady to make up her mind.

No matter good or bad, as long as it is the young lady's decision, she will obey it.

Song Jinyue took off her coat and got on the bed, without saying a word, after Qiu Yun settled the young lady, she went to her room to get a quilt and spread it on the floor next to the young lady's bed.

The door was also specially locked.

The long night is like an endless abyss.

Some people in the Duke's Mansion fell asleep peacefully, some were terrified, and some could not sleep at night.

After winter, the weather in the capital is two hours shorter than in other seasons.

At the beginning of Sishi, there was no sign of the sky overhead, and the lanterns hanging under the corridors in the Duke's Mansion had been lit one by one.

The kitchen in the southwest corner was already billowing with smoke, and the servants hurried past under the corridor, each busy with their own work.

Qiu Yun has already brought hot water into the back room to wait for the young lady to wash up.

The girl in the carved bronze mirror was pale and stunned.

Qiu Yun has gotten used to it. When she was still in Yunquan Villa a few days ago, the lady would always sit in front of the carved bronze mirror for a while when she woke up in the morning.

At first she thought that the young lady was worried about returning to the Duke's mansion, but later she gradually discovered that the young lady seemed to be worrying about something she didn't know about.

The young lady doesn't want to say more, so she won't ask too much.

"Chunchan and Yunxing are still kneeling?"

"Still kneeling." Qiu Yun replied while combing her black hair.

"Let them go back and rest, and they don't have to come out to serve today." After Song Jinyue finished speaking, Qiu Yun had combed the young lady's jet-black hair properly, and took the red gold forged dowry that the young lady brought yesterday from the black lacquer carved dowry. The golden hairpin came out.

Song Jinyue shook her head slightly, raised her hand, and took out a white jade hairpin that was completely clear. A green lotus leaf was carved on her head. There was no other decoration, but it looked very clear.

Song Jinyue handed the hairpin to Qiu Yun, and she used the hairpin today.

The golden hairpin in Qiu Yun's hand was put back into the carved dowry again.

After everything was tidied up, Song Jinyue looked at the bronze mirror again. She was extremely satisfied. She got up slowly and asked Qin Wan, "Is Miss Qin awake?"

"I'm awake, and I'm waiting in the porch right now."

"Hey" Song Jinyue sighed, Qin Wan felt a little uncomfortable living in the Duke's mansion.

"Take this golden hairpin and the hairpin that Shen Shi gave me yesterday, and take it out of the house to pawn it."

Song Jinyue was expressionless, while Qiu Yun was surprised.

The lady said, when?

When?

Could it be that she overheard?
Busy and questioning, he looked at his young lady.

"It's done!" Song Jinyue remained expressionless.

Qiu Yun was a little embarrassed, what if the Duke of the country knew about it?
"I just want to let my father know." Song Jinyue saw through Qiu Yun's mind and said with a smile.

Qiu Yun was even more confused.

Scratching his head and pursing his mouth, he followed the young lady's instructions and put the two hairpins into a black lacquer box.Thinking about it, since Miss wants to let the Duke know, then the pawnshop must choose the most famous one in the capital.

"How much money does Miss want?"

Song Jinyue tilted her head, frowned and thought for a moment, "It's not worth less than 500 taels! Remember, you have to pay two together."

The gold hairpin Song Jinxi gave was worth 50 taels at most, but the jade hairpin that Shen gave was at least 700 taels.

If it wasn't for Shen's dizziness yesterday, she would have suppressed her with a few words in the end, Shen is not giving a gift, it is just trying to use that precious jade hairpin to calm her down.

What is interesting is the matter between Song Jinxi and He Yuanjia.

Ning is her own.

If Mrs. Chen knew that she had turned around and pawned the things, she would probably lose her anger.

Qiu Yun vowed to obey the young lady's order, and the two were about to go out to pay respects to Mrs. Shen.

Song Jinyue thought of something again, so she asked Qiu Yun to do it together, "I know you have a cousin in the capital, let him help to watch at the door of Xu Taiyi's house for a while, remember, if you want to find a face, you must People who have nothing to do with us should watch."

She looked at the black lacquer box on the black lacquer table again. Inside were the two hairpins that Qiu Yun had just put away to pawn.

"One tael of silver per day, all the expenses come from there." Song Jinyue raised her finger and pointed to the black lacquer box on the table.

Qiu Yun nodded, "Miss, don't worry, the maid will definitely get things done."

Although there were some general speculations in her heart, when Miss went to Anfu Hutong on West Street yesterday, she vaguely guessed that there must be something wrong with the empress's prescription.

The two of them just left the door. Song Jinyue looked up and saw Qin Wan. She was still wearing the thin green shirt she wore yesterday. She glanced at Qiu Yun behind her again and said, "Miss Qin's stature is about the same as yours. , get some thicker clothes for Miss Qin in case of emergencies, and then you go out of the house to buy some winter clothes for Miss Qin again."

"Second Miss Song, no, don't bother..." Qin Wan hastily declined, not willing to accept it again.

"Miss Qin, let's go back and have a rest first. I'm still here to say hello to my wife. You can have breakfast first."

Qin Wan couldn't refuse any more, fearing that she would delay Miss Song's affairs, she hurriedly turned her body to make way.

Song Jinyue smiled and gave her some instructions before leaving with Qiu Yun.

Chunchan and Yunxing knelt at the door of Mingzhuxuan, leaning against each other to keep warm, because there was no courtyard door, they leaned against the wall under the long corridor and dozed off with their eyes closed.

In his sleep, his body couldn't help trembling.

"Go back and rest, Miss said, you don't need to come out to serve today." Qiu Yun leaned over and pushed the two of them, seeing Xiong Song with sleepy eyes, she said.

"The maid thanked the second lady."

"..."

After seeing who was coming, the two hurriedly knelt on the ground, not seeing any disrespect.

After a night of cold wind, the two of them had no messy thoughts, they just wanted to go back to the warm room to rest.

Song Jinyue gave a "hmm" before passing in front of the two of them. There were two gray quilts under the corridor on the other side. Presumably, Shen Shi said before leaving yesterday that she would send two nuns to guard the gate.

It's just that I don't see anyone right now.

Song Jinyue stepped out of Mingzhuxuan, thinking about going to Zhangfu today to see if Cousin Ping was on his way.

There is not much time left for her.

My aunt couldn't afford to wait too long.

But now that he has broken Shen's situation, he doesn't know what Shen will do next.

Song Jinyue felt a little anxious, and her steps quickened a little.

Qiu Yun almost trotted behind.
