  Chapter 250

  Yuan Yunzhong kept his word and said he would not interfere.

  The Xiong family chose two auspicious dates for the Song family to choose from. One is the dragon raising its head on the second day of February, and the other is the Shangsi Festival on the third day of March. These two days are good times for outings. At this time of year, there are crowds of people in and out of the city. Familiar people "occasionally meet", say hello, say a few words, or even go to incense together. usual thing.

  However, Song Jiyun promised Yuan Yunzhong to go fly a kite together on the second day of February, and the best day to see each other is March 3rd.

  Song Jiyun discussed with Qian, but Qian wanted to set it on the second day of February.

  She felt that in this way, she could justifiably reject the agreement with Yuan Yunzhong. After Yuan Yunzhong left, both the Song family and Song Jiyun would be less gossip.

   Song Jiyun understood his mother's feelings very well.

  She went to discuss with Wu Yunzhong, to see if the date could be changed.

  Yuan Yunzhong is painting in the study.

  On the large jujube-red desk, a few tender yellow winter jasmine flowers are inserted obliquely in the bean green jade pot spring bottle with cicada wing pattern, as if bringing in the beauty of spring.

  Yuan Yunzhong asked the six sons to make tea for Song Jiyun, and he insisted on finishing the last few strokes before taking the hot handkerchief handed over by the boy, and asked her: "But the date for the two girls to see each other has been fixed?"

  Second girl, what is the name from the north?

  Out of the boundary of Liang County, Song Jiyun didn't understand very well.

  She nodded with a smile, and stood beside the desk.

  Yuan Yunzhong drew a picture of a civet cat. Black back and white belly, fluffy hair, lying on his side under the peony bushes, his round, fat face is tense, looking very majestic, if not for the wrong size, he looks like a king of the mountain.

   "This cat is beautiful!" Song Jiyun praised, "What's its name?"

   Without real objects, it is impossible to draw such a lifelike cat.

   "Fanxue!" Yuan Yunzhong looked at her with soft eyes, "It's a cat I raised."

   "Very beautiful!" Song Jiyun looked at it carefully, and praised again, "The name is also good, once turned over, it is snow-white and snow-white, really like turning the snow upside down."

  Yuan Yunzhong's mouth twitched, and he said: "You are right when you say that. Just as long as you like it!"

   "What?" Song Jiyun didn't understand his last sentence because his voice was too low.

   "Nothing!" Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun sat down at the round table in the hall, and Shao Qing came in with a plate of golden oranges.

  In the past, this is nothing. But today, when dozens of horses are exhausted to eat even a lychee, there are such well-preserved oranges in spring, and it is not just something that can be done with money.

  She couldn't help wondering: "Where did you get the oranges?"

  Shao Qing smiled and said: "Deng Chen sent it!"

   "Deng Chen!" Song Jiyun murmured, "The inspector of Liang County?"

"Yeah!" Shao Qing didn't see anything else, and told her everything, "He is a relative of the British government. In the smuggling case of King Ning, everyone held his breath and wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him. Don’t all the people in the County Inspection Department have problems? The young master took them all away, and the British public immediately sent Deng Chen over, hoping to use this case to make a contribution, so that his official career will be smoother in the future.”

  Song Jiyun thought of the commander of Xu Du.

  She smiled and said, "Same as Master Xu?"

  Yuan Yunzhong glanced at her.

Shao Qing had already handed an orange to Song Jiyun, and said with a smile: "It's not the same. Xu Guangzeng couldn't stay any longer because he committed a crime in the capital. It just so happened that the original commander of the Jiangxi capital was trying to prevent King Ning from occupying the people's ancestral graves. The hunting ground was broken into by King Ning Qingtian and the commander of the capital took off the official uniform for ten battles. He resigned in a rage. The emperor transferred Xu Guang over. First, to give the British Duke a face, and second It is also heard that he has the title of 'little bully' in the capital, and I think he can restrain King Ning."

   Speaking of this, he curled his lips and said: "However, I think Xu Guangzeng should stop talking about restraining King Ning, and it would be good if he didn't join forces with him."

  Song Jiyun thought about Xu Guangzeng's words and deeds in Fengshen Temple, and felt that what Shao Qing said was quite reasonable.

Yuan Yunzhong, on the other hand, said softly "Okay", sent Shao Qing to pack some oranges and bring Song Jiyun to Qian's for a taste, and then brought the topic to Song Jiyu again: "When is the date? Where do you see each other?"

Song Jiyun smiled and said: "The Xiong family took two days to choose, one is the second day of February and the other is the third day of March. My mother thinks the second day of February is good. Let's see what the child of the Xiong family looks like earlier. I can push it earlier, lest people's wishes come true and they will feel resentful."

   "My wife is right." Yuan Yunzhong didn't have any resistance or displeasure.

   I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so satisfactorily.

  Song Jiyun's smile became a little brighter: "The place is temporarily set at Wuming Temple."

She said: "On the second day of February, Baoen Temple organizes the Taoist priest to give free medical consultations to the nearby people every year. At this time, there are so many people that you can't squeeze in. The porcelain Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Baxian Nunnery is still hot, and many people in the market town below People met in groups and ran to the Temple of the Eight Immortals to watch it, and it is estimated that there are many people. It is better to go to the Wuming Temple."

"I can do it!" Yuan Yunzhong looked at her, excitedly, enthusiastically, "The second girl's marriage is more important. There are few people in the Wuming Temple, so there is space for us to fly kites. If the third girl, they don't want to fly kites , you can also dig bamboo shoots like you said, maybe you can bring them back to make a dish."

   Immediately arranged everything for that day.

   Only then did Song Jiyun realize that not only was he not planning to give up on this spring outing, but he also made himself one of the people who helped Song Jiyu see each other.

She was silent for a moment, and said: "Young Master Yuan, is it too boring? We originally wanted to invite Grandpa Song Shishi to go to the Wuming Temple for an outing, but he thought it was a woman's business, and Aunt Shishi came with us. That's it."

  Yuan Yunzhong sneered: "This is a lifelong event, how can you not go because you are bored? I can understand why several princesses can't get married."

  Looking at Yuan Yunzhong who was rarely full of enthusiasm, Song Jiyun had no choice but to pour cold water on his head like this, telling him that her mother had no intention of letting him go at all.

She could only apologize in her heart to Mr. Song Shiyi who didn't say "boring" so she didn't want to go with her, and said to Yuan Yunzhong with a smile: "That's good! I'll go back to Xiong's house and meet at Wuming Temple on the second day of February .”

  Yuan Sezhong nodded.

  Song Jiyun went to his mother with the oranges that he couldn't get rid of.

  Mr. Qian didn't want Yuan Yunzhong's things, but Song Jixue cheered and called the little maids next to her, saying, "Let's make little orange lanterns."

  Since Yuan Yunzhong told her to make kites, she wanted to do everything she saw.

The day before yesterday, she saw Xiang Yang bring his proud closed-door disciple to Song Jiyun to talk about the matter, and she even pulled Xiang Yang's disciple to tell her about it, and said in a pretentious way: "When we were born, my father gave me a bowl. Give it to us, only Xiaosi doesn't have one, I'll get one for her."

  She didn't want to make a bowl for Xiaosi, she just thought it was fun.

  But Song Jiyun came from a previous life, so he thinks this is much better than rigidly suppressing Song Jixue's learning.

  She strongly supported and even kept Xiang Yang's apprentice.

  Song Jixue took a few oranges and ran away with the little maid who served her.

   Qian's shouts failed to call her back.

  She also said loudly: "Brother-in-law said, you can't accept things from others, and the things he gave me are mine."
