The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 301 Continuing to Lobby the Husband and Wife
Besides, Xiuyan moved to a new house, and the garden is not as wide as that of the Xing family's Lang, nor is it as exquisite as Daiyu's, but this is also because there has been no one to take care of it for a long time, relying on the inner government to send a few eunuchs every year Look, it doesn't help.The outside is fine, just a swipe of paint will make it new, but the inside is a bit dilapidated, and Song Chen rushed to order someone to renovate it, but there are still some unsatisfactory things.

In addition, there are only a few hundred-year-old trees in the house, and the rest are ordinary flowers and plants, which are not outstanding.Taking advantage of the loosening of the land in spring, Xiuyan called the most outstanding flower farmers in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to discuss what flowers and plants to plant in the house.

Someone suggested that only peonies should be planted in the courtyard of the main house of the young mistress, the flowers blooming richly, which can best show the identity of the young mistress; someone also suggested digging a quagmire outside the meeting hall to draw water from the spring in the neighboring mansion. In summer, the pond is full of The lotus also has a unique flavor; I even directly suggested that Xiuyan leave a piece of land at the back of the house to build bricks and stones, and make a greenhouse, so that you can enjoy the spring scenery even in winter
These people are not stingy with the money of the master's family, and they express their best ideas.Xiuyan was extremely patient, and even asked Mio to record the ideas of these people one by one, preparing for Song Chen to come back to discuss with her.

"Grandma, there is a lady outside who claims to be a distant relative of the Song family, and wants to see grandma." The little maid hurriedly walked in to report, Xiuyan handed Mio the preliminary list of agenda items, and asked her to follow the instructions on it. The method was carefully discussed with the flower growers and the stewards, and the charter was re-established and the expenses were discussed with her.

The stewards heard the sound and knew Ya, and immediately got up and went to the outer compartment with Mio.When there were no outsiders, Xiuyan asked the little girl: "Is there a greeting card? What kind of lady is it?"

The little servant girl shook her head in embarrassment: "There was no greeting card, it was just a blue woolen sedan chair for two people, and the servant was only an elderly nanny, who looked a little poor. It was the servant at the corner gate. Seeing that the old mama was very particular, Yun Gui didn't dare to delay, so he reported it outside the second gate."

Xiuyan ordered the little maid to welcome him in, but she secretly wondered who this lady was.

Most of the Song family's relatives were met on the day she got married, and the distant relatives could also be Song Chen's cousin?
Thinking of Gao Suyu who still refused to let go until now, Xiuyan felt a headache.When he was guessing wildly, he was welcomed into the meeting hall.The visitor was indeed supported by an old nanny, and his posture swayed when he walked, like a lotus leaf swaying on the water, slender and slim.The wide hood covered most of the lady's face, leaving only the soft and soft lips.

Pink, with a small beauty spot on the corner of the mouth.

Xiuyan's heart moved, and she remembered that a certain nobleman in the palace was said to have won Xiaozong's favor by relying on this beauty mole.
The visitor smiled lightly, and lifted the brim of his hat casually: "The third young lady, are you here all right?"

Xiuyan hastily knelt down to pay her respects: "My wife has seen Concubine Song." Now that Xing Xiuyan has become the daughter-in-law of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Concubine Song naturally did not dare to accept this obeisance, and she helped Xiuyan up early.

"Bengong ran out secretly without telling the empress." Concubine Song said coquettishly, "Speaking of which, I should call the third young mistress a younger sibling. Lord Shangshu and Bengong's father are indeed brothers of the same clan, but The last few generations have separated their families, but the relationship is getting better."

Xiuyan smiled kindly.Song Concubine's words were a bit far-fetched, as far as Xiuyan knew, the relationship between Song Concubine and Shang Shufu was not only not close, but also very distant in blood.Concubine Song's father is a man who knows how to make money, and as his daughter's position gets higher and higher, he gets closer to Shang Shu's mansion.

If Song Lian didn't point it out, many outsiders would mistake Concubine Song for the daughter of the Song family.

Xiuyan smiled and said: "My mother-in-law often mentions the empress to the ministers, but it is a pity that the empress has already entered the palace when the ministers enter the door." After talking to Xiuyan, he poured out all his "worries".

"I saw that there was something wrong with the fifth prince, so I quietly ordered someone to inquire about it. As I expected, it was Xue Baochai who played tricks behind his back." Concubine Song said angrily, "I know that Xue Baochai and the young mistress have a good relationship. , but there is one thing I have to say, Xue Baochai didn't have any good intentions at first, I was afraid that the Fifth Prince was too young to distinguish right from wrong, and if things went on like this, His Highness would be harmed."

Concubine Song held Xiuyan's hand, speaking sincerely: "Your Highness may not necessarily listen to other people's words, but Young Mistress Du said that the Fifth Prince is a must."

Xiuyan said with a serious expression: "My lady has her own heirs, it is more beneficial to help the fifth prince than to help the sixth prince. My lady must not be a plan to slow down the army, and wait until the future to bite His Highness again on this matter!"

Concubine Song looked at Xiuyan coquettishly: "Look at what you said, is this the kind of person I am? Besides, I can see clearly that the sixth prince is not that material at all. Heart, it’s better for Ben Gong to be cruel and cut off his thoughts completely. In the future, he will just be an idle king in peace. Ben Gong thought that if he made such a great contribution, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince would not even ask for such a small request. Will you agree?"

Concubine Song stared at Xiuyan covetously, as if she would die if the other party refused to agree.Xiuyan had no choice but to appease Concubine Song first, and when Song Chen came back in the evening, Xiuyan asked him how he made up his mind.I thought Song Chen would agree to cooperate with Xue Baochai, but Song Chen didn't like Xue Baochai at all.

"The queen's downfall is inevitable. The emperor can't tolerate the harem meddling in politics, and the queen has meddled in the political situation from Guoan Gong several times." Song Chen talked about the current situation of the court. The situation is not optimistic. Some people have guessed Xiaozong's intentions and strongly opposed the abolition. rear.Some people even advocated that in order to appease the queen, it is advisable to establish the fourth prince as the crown prince, so that the court would have no worries about the future.

"Concubine Song's deliberate gesture of favor may have seen the emperor's intentions. According to your guess," Song Chen said in a low voice, "If Xue Chongyi really takes the place of the queen and has another son and a half daughter, then it will not be The queen is easy to deal with."

Old couples and young wives, as husbands who love their wives, tend to be lenient to each other's nonsense.In the end, it is the younger generation who suffers.

Xue Baochai and Concubine Song, of course the latter is easier to grasp.

But after all, he and Xue Baochai had some kind of friendship, Xiuyan leaned on the bed and meditated, quite undecided.Song Chen automatically and consciously circled his wife's slender waist, and moved his hands up little by little, holding the plumpness.

There was a gust of hot air coming from her ear, Xiuyan tilted her head and dodged left and right, but the undeterred Song Chen still held the cherry in her mouth.

Song Chen's voice was full of endless lingering, and he whispered in a low voice: "There are so many people escorting Zhengde, and the position of the crown prince must belong to him. Xue Chongyi has no help from outside, no support from inside, even if he is doing his best." The emperor's favor is not a matter of climate. Besides, she has been given aconite soup by the empress long ago, which will prevent future troubles."
