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

Chapter 34
During the dinner, the old lady talked to Mrs. Xie about staying at Song Jinyue's house for a few days. Mrs. Xie hurriedly finished the meal, got up and said goodbye, and took people to tidy up the courtyard for Song Jinyue herself.

Perhaps it was because the ground dragon was burning too hot in the room, and after eating again, the old lady yawned several times, and Song Jinyue followed Grandma Jia to wait for her grandmother to rest.

After giving up everything, she took Qiu Yun to find her aunt Xie.

When she was young, if Song Jinyue stayed in a rented mansion, she would live in the courtyard of her mother when she was not out of the cabinet.

It's just that after her mother passed away, she never set foot in that courtyard again.

Mrs. Xie couldn't decide what she wanted, so she led someone to clean up the courtyard where her sister-in-law was alive, and then went to the other courtyard to clean it up. It was up to her to choose where she would live in the end.

Song Jinyue was grateful for her aunt Xie's kindness, and she finally chose the courtyard where her mother was when she was not out of the pavilion. At least there, she could feel her mother's breath from the flowers and plants.

Mrs. Xie personally took her by the hand and sent her to the Green Bamboo Pavilion. After crossing the long hand-painted verandah, one could see the painted wall with cloud patterns carved in bluestone.

Only my sister-in-law's courtyard in Zhang's mansion is full of green bamboos, because she loves green bamboos only.

The decoration in the courtyard was repaired according to the style of Jiangnan.

At the end of the long corridor is the main house of the Cuizhu Pavilion, which is carefully cleaned by the mother-in-law every day.

The black lacquered huanghuali wood tables and chairs in the house were all made by skilled craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and all of them were carved with green bamboo patterns.

Even the decorations on the black-painted Duobaoge shelves in the house are all dressed up by my sister-in-law when she was not out of the cabinet.

The bedding on the bed inside will be changed and washed by a woman in three or five days.

The mother-in-law is always talking about cleaning up the Cuizhu Pavilion carefully, and my sister-in-law always likes to be clean.

It seems that as long as the Cuizhu Pavilion is carefully cleaned, it will be as if my sister-in-law is still alive.

Xie is also willing to do this.

She would rather lie to herself that her sister-in-law is still alive and has never passed away.

It's just a long trip, I'm tired of waiting, I've had enough fun.

Definitely will come back.

You can't call my sister-in-law homeless.

After all, the Duke's Mansion is no longer my sister-in-law's home.

"Yue'er, you rest first, and Auntie won't bother you." Mrs. Xie sent Song Jinyue to the house, her eyes full of love and affection.

"Auntie, wait a minute."

Song Jinyue called her aunt softly.

Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled.

Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun behind her, and motioned for her to take the women and maids in the house and leave first.

In this way, Xie's doubts deepened.

The mothers-in-law and maidservants serving by Mrs. Xie all looked at Mrs. Xie, waiting for her to order, Song Jinyue stepped forward, took her aunt's arm, and called "Auntie" meaningfully.

Thinking that the niece must have something important to say to her, Mrs. Xie ordered everyone to retreat.

When there were only two people left in the room, Xie's expression became serious, and he took his niece's hand, and asked nervously: "Yue'er, what happened?"

"Auntie, don't worry. It's not an important matter. It's just that I have to trouble Auntie a little bit."

"You said."

Xie's heart was pounding, this niece was always well-behaved, it was the first time she looked so solemn today.

"My aunt also knows that I just returned to the mansion, and there is no familiar face in the Duke's mansion. When I come to the door today, I have something to ask my aunt..."

The Duke of Song's mansion has entered the family since the Shen family. These years, the Shen family has sent all the women and maids who were in the sister-in-law to the Zhuangzi one by one.

It is only said to the outside world that they are sent to the elderly, and they all live in the richest Zhuangzi.

It's not easy for the Zhang family to come to the door to make trouble.

After all, it is not punishment.

"Yue'er wants to pick some maidservants from Zhang Mansion?"

Speaking up to this point, Mrs. Xie probably guessed a thing or two in her heart.

Seeing her nodding her head, Mrs. Xie laughed instead, raised her hand and patted her on the back lightly twice, "Auntie only thinks that you have something important to say, but it's just a few maidservants. Auntie will give you as much as you want." How much to send over here."

Song Jinyue thanked her with a smile, but just at the end, she added, "Auntie, can you add two more young men who know how to punch..."

Song Jinyue paused, looked at her aunt, and slowly explained: "I miss my uncle a little bit, and I want to pick some reliable ones, so that I can send letters home to my uncle in the future."

"Isn't it okay to let the servants in the mansion drop by to send letters from home?" Mrs. Xie was suspicious.

Song Jinyue continued: "Auntie, on weekdays, if I want to go out of the mansion, I will bring the servants of the Duke's Mansion with me. I don't know those servants..."

It was only now that Mrs. Xie came back to his senses.

That is to say, the niece can't trust the people under Shen's subordinates, she needs to be fully protected.

Her mother-in-law also mentioned this to her at first, and asked her to pick some people to send to the Duke's mansion. She thought she would do it in two days.

Who would have thought that today, the niece would speak in person.

Mrs. Xie didn't refuse, and said: "A few days ago, the old lady mentioned this matter to me. She originally planned to send someone to you in two days. Now that you have opened your mouth, in the evening, I will tell you about it." Order them to come and see you."

Song Jinyue thanked her aunt again, and then Mrs. Xie got up to leave. Song Jinyue personally sent Mrs. Xie out of Cuizhuxuan.

After the Xie family left the Cuizhuxuan, they ordered the stewards of the Zhang family to send a letter to the Duke of Song's mansion.

Qiu Yun waited for her lady to lie down and take a rest.

When it was noon, Mrs. Xie really brought two women and five maidservants.

Mrs. Xie sat in the main hall with Song Jinyue, and the kneeling people below saluted and said hello.

"Choose it yourself." Xie's voice was soft, and he looked at her with a smile, signaling her not to worry, these people are trustworthy.

Song Jinyue recalled her previous life and returned to Beijing by herself.

Grandmother also said that she would send someone to the Duke's Mansion to serve her, but at that time she was coaxed by Shen Shi, so she declined her kindness.

At that time, she just didn't want to cause trouble to her grandfather's family.

But when the Shen family sent people to the Zhang Mansion to spread the word, they said, "The Song Guogong's family has a great business, and there is no shortage of manpower for the second lady to order."

She didn't know this at first.

Later, Cousin Zhi was so angry that she called her outside and scolded her head and face.

Only then did she personally go to the door to apologize to her grandmother, but when she turned around and returned to the house, Mrs. Shen cried a few more times, pinning all the blame on Diao Nu, so that she would not fall into the trick of Diao Nu who divorced their mother and daughter. treachery.

She actually believed it!
In fact, she vaguely guessed what Shen Shi was thinking, but at that time she was full of contradictions, so she let Shen Shi be like this.

Others don't know, but she knows everything.

She longed for her mother's love too much.

It was as if she was still living in the phantom of her parents being healthy.

She can't allow herself the slightest flaw.

Both contradictory and disgusted, he simply let himself pretend that he didn't know everything.

"Head up."

Xie said out loud.

The women and maids who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads one by one.

Song Jinyue motioned for a few people to report themselves.

The kindly-faced woman in the lead, who was wearing a dark green jacket and short robe, was the first to say: "The old slave, Yuan Shi, has met the second young lady."

"The old slave Fei has met the second lady." The woman in a dark blue jacket and short robe said calmly.
