Chapter 70 Difficulties for the wife and concubines(1/3)

Seeing the four servants lifting into a huge wooden box, Song Ruoxi wondered, what are you sending? Do you need to pack such a big box?

Because it was delivered in the name of the "nephew", the wooden box should be sent to the silkworm's room, but the wooden box was too big and the wooden door in the room was too narrow to be placed in.

"Girl, can you temporarily move this wooden box to the main room and wait until the servant takes out the things before making plans?" The silkworm said respectfully.

"Okay, move in." Song Ruoxi cooperated with the acting.

The wooden box was moved into the main room, and Cannibal invited Song Ruoxi into the room and drove everyone out. At that time, she neatly removed the arm of Luo Yougui's family, which made the people in the family feel trembling and chill. What she said was even more effective than Song Ruoxi, and no one dared to refute, including Liu Siniang.

The silkworm closed the door and said, "Miss, open it and take a look."

Song Ruoxi opened the box lid, and there were two smaller wooden boxes inside, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is this playing a box set game?

The silkworm smiled with her lips pursed and helped to lift one of them out, "Girl, there should be something in it."

Song Ruoxi opened the lid, and there were two small boxes inside. He looked up at Cannibal and asked suspiciously: "Cannibal, can this gift be a box?"

"Impossible." Cannibal felt that Lu Fengyan's personality was awkward, and she would not send boxes to Song Ruoxi.

"What if there is a box inside?" Song Ruoxi looked at her squintly.

"No, girl, please open it again."

Song Ruoxi opened the box, and the things in the box were wrapped in cotton cloth, and they were disassembled one by one. The porcelain boy rode a cow, the doll rode a drum, the white rooster, the black-glazed horse, the white glaze porcelain dog, the yellow-glazed porcelain dog and other piles of porcelain toys played with by children in this era. They were cute and cute, but wouldn't it be suitable for her age to play?

Song Ruoxi was speechless, and Lu Fengyan was treating her as a child.

The silkworm held back the laughter, wrapped the these in cotton cloth, and put them back in the box, "Girl, go and open another one."

Song Ruoxi opened another box, and the things inside were wrapped in cotton cloth. He frowned. He couldn't be a doll again, right? He took a look and smiled with his lips and finally gave him a set of useful things, red sandalwood stationery, pen holder, pen holder, flower holder, flower insert...

The pen holder carved a picture of the Lotus Pavilion in the summer, with exquisite carvings and quiet artistic conception; the pen holder carved lotus patterns, and other objects are carved with lotus patterns, with exquisite designs, making it a good item placed on the table.

"Is this set of stationery equipment still satisfied?" asked Cannibal with a smile.

Song Ruoxi raised his eyebrows, "It's okay!"

"Girl, keep unboxing!"

Song Ruoxi opened another one, and there were still two boxes inside. Silkworm helped to raise it. When she opened one of them, Song Ruoxi was stunned again. She contained a wooden knife, small bow and small sword, all kinds of weapons, and a small wooden horse.

"Puchi" Silkworm couldn't help laughing.

"Silkworm." Song Ruoxi looked at her sideways and pouted.

The silkworm covered her mouth and said, "Girl, I think this should be prepared by the young master for the young master and the young girl in the future."

Song Ruoxi opened her mouth, OK, she had to admit that the statement of Cannibal is like that, but wouldn't it be too impatient? Before the kiss could be achieved, she prepared things for the children.

"Girl, come and open this box, it should be a gift for you." The silkworm raised the last box from the big box.

Song Ruoxi walked over and opened the box. The box was indeed for her. More than a dozen pens, from sheep hair to purple hair, from large regular script to small regular script; two pieces of ink, one piece of pine smoke ink, with Ruyi cloud patterns on top and bottom; one piece of oil smoke ink, with a skylark on top and bottom; a stack of jade white paper, and an inkstone carved with lotus flowers.

"So I'm a talented woman." Song Ruoxi murmured to himself.

"Of course the girl is a talented girl." Silkworm looked at her seriously, "Why are the girls playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays worse than others?"

Song Ruoxi glanced at her and said, "My mother, did you praise the wrong person? I can't play the piano."

"A girl can play the flute, play the qin, and play the chime. Isn't this the same?"

Song Ruoxi blinked and asked, "When have you ever seen me talk about poetry and songs with others? How do you know that my poetry and songs are no worse than others?"

"Yesterday, I heard the girl say to the fallen leaves all over the yard, saying that the yellow leaves closed the thin windows and pondered about the past and stood in the setting sun. Isn't that chanting a poem? What are you doing?"

Song Ruoxi was blocked by Cannibal and had nothing to say, and she smiled bitterly: "Okay, from now on, I will be a talented woman."

After seeing all the things, I put the porcelain dolls and weapons into the wooden box and moved them into the east wing room. The study equipment, pens, ink, paper and ink were placed in the study room. The largest wooden box was removed from the window of the mixed room and stuffed it into it.

It rained again in the middle of the night, and the weather became colder. It immediately entered late autumn from the warm early autumn. It was already past Mao and was not yet dawn. Song Ruoxi woke up and refused to get up because of the cold.

Xiangxiu, who was watching the night, was dressed up and asked through the curtain, smiling: "Miss, I didn't go to pay my respects to the master and wife yesterday, so don't you go today?"

There was no response in the account.

"Miss, have you not woken up yet?"

Song Ruoxi responded slowly: "Wake up."

"Will the girl not go to pay tribute to the master and the wife today?"

"Go." Song Ruoxi yawned. In ancient times, the ladies were at home all day and had nothing to do. What should I do when I get up so early? I stayed in the house, read books, embroidered flowers, and were extremely bored.

Xiang Xiu turned around while turning the curtain, and said to the outsider: "The girl is up."

Xiang Wen and others brought the little maid in to serve.

"Girl, today I will comb you a lily bun, okay?" Xiangduo asked, holding the comb.

"If you don't go out today, just put on a simple side bun." Song Ruoxi doesn't like to put on a bun, and likes to tie a small strap around casually, making it easy to sit and lie down.

Dressing up and changing clothes, Song Ruoxi was about to go out with a hand heater in her hand heater, Xiangxiu took a big red flower cloak and put it on her shoulder, "Girl, it's windy in the morning, it's cold, put on this to block the wind."

"Xiangxiu, can I go out with a quilt in winter?" Song Ruoxi asked jokingly.

"In winter, girls can wear thick jackets, cloaks with wind-blown cloaks and fox fur cloaks, without having to wrap a quilt." Xiang Xiu smiled with a smile.

"Well, I put them all on and it will be a ball." Song Ruoxi glanced at her, took Xiangduomint out of the door, and walked towards the yard where Ji Yun lived.

From afar, Song Ruoxi saw the maids and mothers walking here surrounded by three girls. Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan. Song Ruoxi certainly recognized that another girl wearing a small satin jacket with purple and red embroidered colorful flowers and a royal blue long skirt looked at her face, but she didn't have to think about who she was. Song Ruoxi also knew that she was Song Ruohu, the eldest girl from the Song family who had not met yet.

Song Ruoxi deliberately slowed down, and the four of them happened to meet at the door. Song Ruochi bent his knees and smiled and shouted, "Second Sister."

Song Ruojuan opened her little face tense, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of resentment. It can be seen that she was not very happy, but she saluted Song Ruoxi in a regular manner and said, "Second Sister."

Song Ruohu and Song Ruoxi had similar figures. After looking at her, they looked up and looked up, posing as the eldest sister.

When Song Ruoxi came back that day, Song Ruohu made excuses to pretend to be sick. Song Ruoxi knew that she was not easy to get along with, so she didn't care about her attitude at this time. She smiled and said, "Big sister, third sister, and fourth sister."

Song Ruohu curled his lips, not knowing whether it was responding or not, so he raised his legs and walked into the yard. Song Ruochi frowned slightly. He had been locked up for so many days, why is the eldest sister still like this? I don’t know how to reflect on it. If he annoyed the second sister and the wife knew about it, what else could he get?

A hint of mockery flashed in Song Ruojuan's eyes, "I'm dead, and I'm pretending to be a stinking air."

Song Ruoxi's expression did not change, and she said with a smile: "Two sisters, let's go in!"

Four daughters, who were as beautiful as flowers, stood neatly in front of them and asked for peace. Song Sui naturally liked it, with a smile on his face and said, "You sisters will have to leave home one day after another in a few years. It will be rare to get together at that time. You should cherish these times at home and love each other."

"Remember the teachings of Daddy (father) in my heart and dare not forget them." The four of them responded in unison.

When Song Ruoxi was not back, Song Ruohu didn't feel it. Today, when she heard her call her father intimately, she felt it was extremely harsh and secretly hated. Even the titles were divided into legitimate and illegitimate, and they were born by the same father. This was too unfair!

Song Sui Zhengyan said: "Tomorrow, you must entertain guests well and not get angry with the guests."

"The master said this. I'm so old. Is it true that they don't know this truth? They will be well-behaved and obedient, and will not embarrass the master." Ji Yun stared at Song Ruohu, and his eyes turned slightly, "Master, there is still something waiting for you to do in the yamen. It's better to have a meal!"

"Set up the meal." Song Sui smiled.

Rong Qiao went out and asked someone to put the breakfast on the table. Four concubines served six of them for breakfast. Gong sent Song Sui out of the door. Ji Yun took Song Ruoxi's hand and took her to the couch to sit down, saying, "Grand girl, fourth girl, have you heard your father's words clearly?"

"When I say my mother, my daughter can hear it clearly." Song Ruohu was quite honest in front of Ji Yun, and he lowered his head and responded with Song Ruojuan.

"If you hear it clearly, you have to do it. Don't go in with your right ear and your left ear. Don't go into your heart, just take it as the wind in your ears." Ji Yun continued to beat them. If it weren't for the reputation of her daughter, she wouldn't be too lazy to discipline them.

"Daughter doesn't dare, she must keep it in her heart." The two answered.

"Miss Three, your second sister said that the Yi sisters came to visit that day. You greeted her well. Tomorrow, you will help your second sister accompany her guests!" Song Ruochi was familiar with her and was not like Song Ruohu and Song Ruojuan. Ji Yun intended to give her face.

"My daughter understands, thank you mother, thank you second sister." Song Ruochi responded.

A hint of joy flashed in Aunt Zou's eyes that had been dull. A word from the second girl was more useful than a hundred words from others.

Song Ruohu curled his lips disdainfully.

Song Ruojuan's expression was a little envious and a little jealous.

"Okay, you all go back to the yard and prepare to go. Don't be rude tomorrow." Ji Yun glanced at the four concubines standing in the room, "You guys go down and rest too."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, mother."

When the four concubines and three concubines retreated, Ji Yun hugged Song Ruoxi and explained to her the matter of treating guests tomorrow. In ancient times, treating guests is more particular than modern times. There are rules for treating anyone or not. It does not mean that you have to invite someone, but you have to consider your status and relationship with each other. This is the intention of treating guests.

"This time the treat is mainly to let you meet some friends and prevent you from staying at home every day. If there is something wrong with the Prince Qi's Mansion, the Princess and the two county lords will not come. Wei Tongzhi's family has no daughter, so he did not post a post to invite him. Li Tongzhi's family has a daughter, who is born in the legitimate family, named Li Qing, who is already engaged and is busy embroidering dowry at home. I don't know if she will come tomorrow; Zhangfu Xuezheng family has two daughters, one is legitimate and one is illegitimate. The legitimate family is Zhang Wanmei, and the legitimate one is Zhang Huamei..."

There were a bunch of official positions and a bunch of names. Song Ruoxi's head felt a slight pain, just like listening to Huijin chanting Buddhist scriptures. He asked with a bitter face: "Mom, how many guests have you invited?"

"Not too many, no, the girl who will be a guest tomorrow will be in the seat."

"Ah, so many!" Song Ruoxi frowned tightly. In addition to the three of hers and Song Ruohu, there were only a dozen people who could gather several tables of mahjong. She could probably tie her tongue up when she talked about social engagements.

"My son, don't worry, tomorrow, my mother will let Rong Qiao be with you." Ji Yun chuckled.

"Mom asked Rong Qiao to follow me, but no one would be instructed by that mother."

"There are also good tea around me." Ji Yun stroked the broken hair on Song Ruoxi's forehead. "My mother has prepared all the gifts for you, and they are all wrapped in brocade lotus. When the mat is dispersed, you will give them to those girls."

"Thank you, mom." Song Ruoxi leaned in Ji Yun's arms, feeling warm.

"In the past, when you were not at home, the eldest girl was your father's eldest daughter, so she would come to entertain guests. She was an ignorant person, and she was pretending to be a grand girl in the prefect's family, and she offended the girls from several families." Ji Yun sighed, "I'm afraid that your father would look ugly in his face, so he hid it all."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't have any conflicts with the guests, I will tolerate them."

"My good daughter, the officials who will come tomorrow are lower than your father. You are also a legitimate girl. It's too late for them to curry favor with you and will not have any conflicts with you. I'm afraid that Hu Yatou and Juan Yatou will say something unreasonable, which will be embarrassing."
