Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 482

Counting it, Song Ning has not been back home for several days, not even on August [-]th, because to him, that home is not home at all, there is no warmth there, but it makes people feel cold and alienated.

But on August 23rd, he returned to the Song Mansion with some things. At that time, Song Yuan happened to go out to meet his old friends for a drink and a poem. Only Zhang Yuelian was at home.

Zhang Yuelian was still a little dazed when she first heard the news of Song Ning's return from her subordinates, and then she became a little angry: "I couldn't find him anywhere before, but now he knows he's back, so he said I'm still busy and don't want to meet him."

Thinking of the previous incident, Zhang Yuelian was very annoyed. She just wanted to help her natal brother to get some fancy looks, but instead of achieving her goal, she was humiliated by Han Duyue, a mean farm girl, and even herself His own son didn't care about his own feelings at all.

As a result, not only did she lose her word in front of her elder brother, but even her husband neglected her even more because of this. Whenever Zhang Yuelian thought of this, she would grit her teeth in anger. When she heard the news of Song Ning's return, she naturally didn't want to see her human.

But this anger could not be maintained until the subordinates retreated, and it dissipated a lot because of another incident.

At present, the monthly expenses of the family are only 100 taels of silver, and the money spent on food and clothing is already stretched. Song Yuan still has to use this money to invite those so-called old friends to drink tea and wine, plus the money in the mansion. For several concubines who are quite favored by Song Yuan, the amount of money that can finally fall into Zhang Yuelian's hands is naturally very little.

If she didn't have two shops in her hands, she might have starved to death long ago, but even if she didn't starve to death, life would be very difficult.

At first, Zhang Yuelian felt that it was difficult to live on. She wanted to tell Song Ning's unfilial behavior several times, but she was worried that Song Ning would become angry and turn the money she gave to the family into ten taels or one tael. Hold back.

Although she is used to this kind of life now, every time she thinks of this incident, she still feels very angry. Being treated like this by her son, she is not just a mother who is heartbroken.

But now that Song Ning actually came to find her on her own initiative, shouldn't she...

"Wait a minute," Zhang Yuelian put down the rouge she bought with five hundred Wen and had used it for nearly half a month, and stopped the little maid who was about to leave, "Don't rush over, let him wait first. .”

Although she changed her mind a bit, Zhang Yuelian didn't want to go to see Song Ning so easily, and it was right to ask him to wait a little longer.

The little servant girl didn't know why Madam suddenly changed her mind, but she thought Madam has always had a bad temper, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

On the other side, Song Ning was sitting in the flower hall, drinking tea and reading a book leisurely. He had expected that he might have to wait for a while, so he brought the books he had been reading for the past few days along with him. At this time, he could just calm down Come and read.

It took half an hour to read, and Song Ning was a little tired after reading, so she put down the book, got up and walked to the window, looking at the yellowing leaves outside.

After standing for a while, I saw my mother walking slowly with seemingly leisurely steps, but if you look carefully, you will find that her steps are not leisurely at all, but rather messy.

Zhang Yuelian walked into the flower hall, didn't even look at Song Ning, and sat down on the main seat directly, her eyes caught sight of the unclosed book on the table beside her, and the anger in her heart suddenly increased a little.

It's unreasonable to dare to read a book if you don't just sit here and wait for her obediently!
Song Ning didn't seem to feel the anger emanating from Zhang Yuelian at all. After sitting back slowly, she picked up the book and began to read, as if he was still the only one in the flower hall.

Zhang Yuelian couldn't bear it anymore, she gritted her teeth and patted the table, causing the tea set on it to make a slight noise: "It's really presumptuous, is this how you treat your own mother?"

Song Ning then looked up at Zhang Yuelian, with obvious surprise on her face: "When did the mother come here? Why didn't you call the son, the boy just took the book because he didn't know when the mother would come Look, it turned out that I was fascinated by reading, and I didn't notice my mother for a while, please forgive me."

The implication is that if it wasn't because you made me wait so long, I wouldn't know how to read, and I wouldn't have missed your arrival because I was fascinated by reading, so in the end it wasn't my fault.

Zhang Yuelian was very angry, but thinking of her plan just now, she finally suppressed her anger temporarily: "Why did you think of coming back today? Could it be that you encountered something that you couldn't deal with, so you thought about coming back Are you looking for me?"

"My son came back this time, and I really have something to discuss with my mother." Song Ning nodded.

Zhang Yuelian was a little surprised at Song Ning's acknowledgment so straightforwardly, but she felt a little more confident because of this, she raised her chin slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

"The marriage between Hai'er and Xiaoyue is scheduled for the second day of February next year. When the time comes, I will have to ask my mother to take care of the marriage." Song Ning directly explained her intention without going around the bush.

Zhang Yuelian was taken aback by these words, and her expression was almost ferocious: "What? You are going to marry that peasant girl next year? This...I don't agree with this matter!"

Song Ning had expected Zhang Yuelian's response, and she just asked slowly after hearing the words: "Why doesn't mother agree? Is it because Xiaoyue is still young? It's just that a woman gets married at the age of 14, which is not unusual in Fucheng. okay?"

"Of course it's not because of this. Han Duyue made things difficult and rude. I will never allow her to enter our Song family's door!" As long as Zhang Yuelian thinks that she will live under the same roof as a rude person like Han Duyue in the future, she will feel that My lungs are about to explode.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Yuelian doesn't want to deal with Han Duyue as her elder and mother-in-law, it's because Han Duyue's little girl is too powerful, every time she can make her so angry that she can't calm down for several days.

So now Zhang Yuelian would rather avoid this person than live under the same roof as her.

Song Ning's eyes were a little displeased, but the expression on her face was still very calm: "What does mother mean by this? Is mother questioning the marriage bestowed by the Holy One? If Xiaoyue and I never get married, I'm afraid It’s not easy to explain to the Holy Majesty, right?”

What Zhang Yuelian is most afraid of is hearing the words "marriage bestowed by the Holy Majesty", because if it is something else, she may be able to refute it, but as for the imperial decree, even if it is to lend her 1 orders, she dare not say anything. Not a little bit.

So these words were clearly intended to silence her, which was really abominable, but in fact she had no other words to refute except for feeling angry.

After thinking about it, the only thing Zhang Yuelian could say was: "Of course I didn't mean that. It's just that Han Duyue is only 13 years old after all. Even after the new year, she will only be 14 years old. You should wait."

"I'm afraid we can't wait for this matter," Song Ning lowered her eyes slightly, and said a lie in a steady tone, "Previously Princess Yuping wrote to Xiaoyue, saying that she hoped that the two of them would have a similar wedding date, so it would be considered as a couple. It's just that The news came suddenly, and there was no preparation here, and after discussing, the wedding date was set on the second day of February next year, so this is actually the Princess' intention."

Zhang Yuelian choked again, she instinctively sensed that Song Ning's words must be deceiving her, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute, after all, she didn't know anything about Princess Yuping, if she said something rashly If you shouldn't, you will put yourself at a disadvantage even more.

However, as Song Ning's mother, Zhang Yuelian is not helpless. Although this method is a little low, who told this son to be so unfilial?

"Since you said that, then I have nothing to say. It's just that I'm not feeling well recently. You can handle these things yourself." Zhang Yuelian turned her head and took out her trump card.

So what if there is a sacred decree?So what if Princess Yuping is with you?As an elder, I am unwell, can you still force me to take care of your marriage?

Hmph, seeing that there was no Gao Tang at the time, what would your marriage be like!
The corner of Song Ning's mouth curled into a helpless smile. He had expected that Zhang Yuelian would obstruct this matter in every possible way, but he didn't expect that such a method would be used directly, but probably because he knew these "family members" too well, Even if Song Ning didn't think of this, she didn't feel the slightest surprise after hearing this.

Besides, he came prepared: "Mother, I wonder if everything is safe at home recently?"

"Hmph, you still care about family affairs? I thought you'd forgotten about this place a long time ago!" Zhang Yuelian said sharply.

Song Ning replied with an unchanged expression: "A few days ago, I happened to see Aunt Lin in the mansion on the street, and saw that she carried a lot of things in her hands, presumably she bought those things with the monthly money from her mother, right? "

Aunt Lin is Song Yuan's favorite aunt in the Song family, not one of them, one of which is because she is as beautiful as a flower and understands the mind of a man, she can always satisfy Song Yuan's dignity as a man to a great extent, making him feel She is in a good mood; as for the second, it has something to do with her family background.

It's not that Aunt Lin's natal family is so prominent, it's just that there are only two daughters in her family. As the youngest daughter, she has always been doted on by her parents. Still can't ignore her.

Therefore, Aunt Lin can get some family subsidies almost every month. Aunt Lin is also a smart person. She never hides the money from Song Yuan, and occasionally uses the money to buy things for him. Come, this will naturally satisfy Song Yuan's vanity.

In the past, this kind of money was nothing to Zhang Yuelian, but now that the entire Song family can only get 100 taels of silver from Song Ning's hands for expenses today, the money is not too little.
