Song Dynasty female artist

Yang Yuxiao wanted to say that she was not comforted.

"Okay, big sister and second sister, let's not talk about these things when we go to mom's place. It will make her worry."

"It's natural."

They are all old, and they are grandmothers, so they still have some sense of propriety.

But since they could hear the rumor, how could the Yang family in Kyoto City not hear it?

"My daughter has met her mother. The three of us are here to wish her a happy birthday in advance. May she be blessed with good health and a long life."

"Okay, everyone get up!"

Old Madam Yang is exactly 79 years old today, which is her birthday.

She raised her hand and asked her three daughters to stand up. After meeting their sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, they sat down one by one.

The granddaughter-in-law greeted the three sisters in turn.

After everyone sat down, the second eldest granddaughter-in-law, Sun, was the first to speak up: "Third aunt, yesterday I asked my maid to go to the Tian family shop to buy something and heard some rumors."

When Sun spoke, the second wife did not try to stop him. Instead, she looked like she was enjoying the show.

Yang Yuxiao knew what was going on and was afraid that the master was going to take a concubine again.

Today is my mother's birthday. Wouldn't it be upsetting to her if I told her about this?
He really has no manners at all.

"Sun, you are a junior. There are so many elders here who haven't spoken yet, but you are the first to speak. You are so ignorant!"

Yang Yuying is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, so it is most appropriate for her to speak.

Although she is the eldest daughter, her husband's family has fallen on hard times in recent years, and the wives of the eldest and second sons are not as respectful to her as they appear.

Besides, Yang Yuying couldn't stand these two sisters-in-law at the beginning.

Yang Yuxiao wasn't much better off.

Look, he is instigating his granddaughter-in-law to wait here!
"Eldest sister, you are a grandmother, how can you still be so unkind? The child is just worried that our Yang family's reputation will be damaged, so he wants to tell this matter so that everyone can solve it. You don't let me say it, which makes the rumors spread instead of covering it up."

Yang Yuying: "Respecting elders requires teaching. Why can't we wait until after mother's birthday to talk about it?"

Sun stood up with red eyes: "Great-grandmother, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this matter. It's just that I couldn't help it because I felt bad when I heard what they said."

Madam Yang is such a shrewd person.

She poked the cane in her hand on the ground and spoke slowly: "Sun, just say whatever you want to say."

Yang Yuxiao called out, "Mother."

"There are only rumors out there. Don't listen to them. They will pollute your ears and affect your mood today."

"I'm just old, not confused. Let Sun tell us what the rumor is, and let everyone else listen."

After hearing what Old Lady Yang said, Sun became a little timid.

After looking at her mother-in-law, she mustered up the courage to speak: "There are rumors outside that my third aunt's grandfather, at his old age, brought back a concubine from outside. Because of this, he and my third aunt's grandmother had a rift. My third aunt's grandmother severely punished the concubine and locked her up. My third aunt's grandfather wanted to divorce his wife because of this."

Yang Yuxiao stood up angrily: "Nonsense, how could you make up the affairs of your elders in the Sun family like this?"

"I married into the Leng family when I was seventeen, and gave birth to three sons and one daughter, all of whom are now married. How dare the Leng family divorce me because of a whore? Such rumors are false if you use your brain a little bit. Why are you still pretending to say them in front of my mother? What's your intention?"

Sun knelt down with a plop: "Grandma, I am stupid and not very smart. I panicked when I heard the rumor. I took it seriously because I was worried about you. Please don't blame me." "Third sister, I am worried that our Yang family's reputation will be damaged. I am worried about it. As an elder, you are so hasty and it seems a bit mean."

Yang Yuxiao snorted, "I'm mean? What do you think, second sister-in-law? Do you think everyone here is a fool?"

The second brother's eyes glared and said, "Then tell me, third sister, what am I worried about? I am the daughter-in-law of this family, and you are the married daughter. We don't have any disputes, so why should I be worried?"

"Of course, I want the granddaughter of the second branch of the Leng family to marry your useless grandson."

The second son's wife's thoughts were touched and her face turned red.

"We are a perfect match. I like the girl from the second branch of the Leng family. What's wrong with that? It has nothing to do with this rumor."

"All right……"

Old Madam Yang interrupted the two of them.

"Just be quiet. You are a family, sharing honor and disgrace. It's inappropriate for you to quarrel like this. It will only make outsiders laugh at you. Do you need an old woman like me to teach you such a simple truth again?"

Although everyone was silent, the second family was obviously unconvinced.

Except for Sun who had just "seeked death", all the granddaughters-in-law pretended to be quails and kept silent.

Madam Yang glanced at the people present and said, "Don't discuss this matter any further. It's getting late and the guests are about to arrive. Just do what you need to do!"

Su Yixin and his wife arrived neither too early nor too late. At the door, they met Ram, who had not been seen for a long time, and... Li Shian.

The two stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, Princess."

The two were not the crown prince and princess of the Song Dynasty, so they naturally had to return the gift: "Master Gu, Princess Rui'an, you two are truly a loving couple, and we are really envious of you."

Li Shian looked at the two people's interlocked hands and said.

The two smiled and didn't say much.

After they went in first, Su Yixin said, "Princess, forget it. This Li Shian is the crown prince. He has been out for so long and hasn't returned. Aren't you afraid that someone will take his place?"

Gu Qingjue chuckled and explained, "Of course someone will help him keep an eye on him, and the second prince of Jiaozhi will also arrive in Kaifeng Prefecture in a few days."

"Oh~"

Su Yixin dragged out the last line of her voice and smiled: "It's really interesting, they all come here one by one, I'm afraid they are not here to ask for money from us, right?"

"Ma'am, you hit the nail on the head."

"Is it true?"

Su Yixin laughed: "Is it that Your Majesty has been dragging his feet on establishing trade relations with Jiaozhi?"

Gu Qingjue: "Your Majesty agrees to this. Although Jiaozhi doesn't have much good stuff, some medicinal herbs are very scarce. They also agree to add those medicinal herbs to the trade list. However, Jiaozhi is a country with high mountains and dangerous waters. If you want to build a relatively accessible road, it will cost a lot and require a huge amount of manpower. Therefore, Your Majesty has not agreed to fund the construction."

The geographical location of Jiaozhi State is too poor.

It's not that the Song Dynasty had not thought about sending troops to Jiaozhi, but later thought that as long as they behaved themselves, it would be better to just forget about it. If they really wanted to take over that place, anyone who went there to govern would be displeased.

Only Li Shian feels good about himself. Look how proud he was when he first came to Kyoto.

It is decorated in the style of a prince.

The past few months have been completely silent. (End of this chapter)
