Chapter 38 It’s better that your place is cleaner

Song Jingzhang finally went to the main courtyard with a straight face.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but look happy when she saw him coming.
  Although I noticed his expression, I was in the deep palace and didn't know what happened in the court, so I just thought he had a normal cold face.
  It wasn't until I heard him asking what was going on that I realized something was wrong.
  For a moment, I had planned to say something, but I didn't know whether I should say it or not.

Song Jingzhang already had a ball of fire in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Lin was a virtuous and virtuous man who attached great importance to rules and wouldn't make fun of trivial matters, he wouldn't have come at all.

Now I see that she hesitates to speak, and her original patience is gradually exhausted.

"What's going on?"

Lin's heart tightened and she couldn't care about anything else and said bluntly:
  "It's about the concubine and the younger sisters."

"Mother concubine?" Song Jingzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at her seriously,

"Yes, you also know that the mother-in-law is very concerned about the issue of children. Now that Sister Shen is pregnant, the mother-in-law naturally takes more care of her. She always thinks about it, and there will be many rewards."

Hearing that his mother-in-law was fine, Song Jingzhang couldn't help but relax.

He leaned back slightly on the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip.
  Silently, he motioned for Lin to continue.
  Mrs. Lin: "Sister Shen is pregnant again, and the slaves are also careful. If there is a good thing, hold her tightly first,"

"And as a concubine, Sister Xu is of noble birth and is the most exquisite in daily life. She also gets a share of all the good things."

"It so happens that the palace minister has recently sent some blood swallows, donkey-hide gelatin and other good things to nourish the body. There are not many things. According to my wishes, it is fair to send some everywhere."

"But the two sisters didn't know what they were thinking, so they started fighting in secret behind my back."

"We met before greeting each other today. We had a disagreement and got into an argument. I didn't check for a while. During the conflict, Sister Wang accidentally fell into the water."

"I thought it was a trivial matter, but when Sister Wang was struggling in the lake, she hit her head on a rock and she immediately saw blood."

"This matter is huge and involves many things, and it is not easy for me to make arbitrary decisions. I specially invite you to come here and deliver justice."

The Xu family and Shen family fought, but Wang family was involved, causing Wang family to fall into the water and get injured.
  Song Jingzhang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly as he listened.

"How is Wang doing now?"

"I asked the imperial doctor to come and see me. He said that it was just a bump. It's not a serious problem. He just needs to take good care of himself for a while."

As if she had expected that he would ask this question, Lin blurted it out without any hesitation.

Song Jingzhang rubbed the ring on his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "The Wang family has suffered a disaster unnecessarily. It is time to comfort her and recuperate. During this period of time, the regulations mentioned the specifications of the concubine."

"As for the Xu family and the Shen family, they were restless, fought and caused trouble, and were punished rationally. However, considering that the Shen family was pregnant, they did not reduce their status. Only the Xu family's status was reduced to concubines, and the other two were banned. In March, women’s virtues will be copied a hundred times.”

Mrs. Lin looked at him and said hesitantly, "Sister Wang really should be comforted. Sister Xu has been a bit pampered, so she should be beaten, but..."

"Sister Shen is pregnant after all, and the mother-in-law always cares about her health. Although she has done something wrong in this matter, is this punishment too severe?"

Song Jingzhang glanced at her lightly,
  "If we can forget the rules and indulge in trouble just because we are pregnant, how will we manage the affairs in the backyard in the future? How can we be fair?"

"It's settled, Zhao Youzheng, you go and deliver the order in person."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.

Seeing this, Zhao Youzheng quickly bowed to Lin and went down to deliver the order.

Mrs. Lin was left alone, staring at Song Jingzhang's leaving figure, silently.

Just before the couple discussed the matter, the nanny who had been sent out came in and said, "It's hard for me to come here. Why don't you stay with me?"

Mrs. Lin gave a bitter smile, "Even if I don't want to stay, my thoughts must be here."

The nurse sighed after hearing this and stepped forward to comfort her, "My dear, please don't be too sad. After all, you are the royal concubine. No matter what happens, I will always have you in my heart."

"The old servant just found out that I was in the study after leaving the court. I guess I have to be busy with political affairs. I can't say for sure." That won’t be the case.”

Ms. Lin muttered silently, not knowing whether she was responding to Nanny or trying to convince herself.
  "That's all, Mammy, please bring some medicinal materials later and go to Mr. Wang's place in person to comfort her. I see that I still have some friendship with Mr. Wang."

"Yes."

Song Jingzhang left the main courtyard and left the palace directly without stopping or returning to the study.

Gu Wanyu is following Zhu'er to learn the popular Luo Zi style in Beijing.

After studying all afternoon, I got interested and didn't put it down until the evening.

Hearing movement at the door, he looked up and saw Song Jingzhang's stern face.

Ok?
  She thought he wouldn't come again in the near future.
  But he did not hesitate at his feet and stepped forward to salute.
  "Greetings to you."

While helping him clean his hands personally, he added: "It's a coincidence that I'm here. I just asked the kitchen to stew Sichuan clam, loquat and snow pear soup. I think it's ready."

Xiaohuan next to him understood and immediately went to the kitchen to bring it.

"Sichuan clam, loquat and snow pear soup? What, do you have a cough?"

She shook her head, "But I heard from Dr. Wu that drinking something during this season can warm and replenish the body. Dietary supplements are always better than medicinal supplements."

Song Jingzhang nodded noncommittally,

As she came to the table, she saw all kinds of clothes on the table at a glance.

Seeing that he seemed a little confused, Gu Wanyu explained, "In the afternoon, I saw the delicate string on Zhu'er's waist, so I took it over and took a look. It looked different from the style in Yangzhou. There was nothing to do on either side. So I learned to play for fun."

Song Jingzhang just took a casual look and listened to her words without paying any more attention.
  Gu Wanyu frowned, her eyes moved slightly,

This man seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Sir, madam, Sichuan clam, loquat and snow pear soup is here." Xiaohuan presented two cups of freshly stewed soup on a tray.
  Gu Wanyu took it with his own hands and presented it to Song Jingzhang, "Try it, can you still eat it?"

Song Jingzhang's expression was indifferent, but he still took a bite from her hand out of dignity.
  "It's okay."

"If you can get this from me, Grandma Sun's hard work will be in vain."

She retracted her hand nonchalantly, sat aside and drank in small sips.

Xiaohuan and the others also retreated knowingly.
  The room became quiet for a moment,
  Only the spoon is left to stir the soup from time to time, and occasionally make a crisp sound when it collides with the bowl.

Song Jingzhang was still thinking about the troublesome things happening in the court and the backyard.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the woman in front of him was very comfortable.

Look, after taking a sip of the soup, my eyes squinted in comfort.

"It tastes so good?"

Gu Wanyu chuckled secretly, turned sideways and raised her eyes, "Didn't I just taste it?"

"But I didn't taste anything in one bite." Song Jingzhang looked deeply at her lips, which had become softer after being stained with some soup.

Throwing down the spoon in his hand, Gu Wanyu simply stood up.

Under his gaze, she came to him step by step, quickly leaned over and pressed his lips,

 Song Jingzhang: Oh, what a coincidence, Wang’s experience was similar to his!
    Look at him severely punishing the two troublemakers, how angry!
