Chapter 70 Difficulties for the wife and concubines(2/3)

"Dad and mother have given special instructions. They will know the importance of it. Let's say that they will invite a troupe to sit and watch the show tomorrow. When they watch the show, they will not do anything shameful." Song Ruoxi comforted.

Ji Yun smiled and looked at Song Ruoxi lovingly, full of joy. No matter how you look at it, it is the best daughter she gave birth to!

The mother and daughter discussed the dishes for tomorrow's banquet. After chatting for a few words, Song Ruoxi returned to the yard. She sat down in the room and Song Ruochi came over, holding the made embroidered shoes and the pink and purple uppers were embroidered with colorful threads. It was both unique and beautiful.

"Second sister, the shoes are done, but I just don't know if they fit together?" Song Ruochi sat on the chair, pinching the silk handkerchief in his hand, lowered his head a little shyly, and whispered.

"I'll try." Song Ruoxi bent down and took off the shoes on her feet, and Qinghe stepped forward to serve her to put on her new shoes.

Liu Siniang frowned while watching, but she didn't dare to say much. Song Ruoxi has been cold these days and has not allowed her to get close to her. Although she is a little stupid, she can also see that the girl's temperament is not like five years ago.

Song Ruoxi went downstairs and took two steps, "It fits very well, the third sister's hands are so clever."

"It's good if the second sister wears her shoes." Song Ruochi said happily.

Song Ruoxi sat on the chair, raised his feet, moved left and right, and smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will wear that pink and purple dress, which is just right for these pairs of shoes."

Song Ruochi was surprised and happy when she heard what she said. You should know that although Ji Yun accepted the shoes she made for Ji Yun, she had never worn them once. She was a little discouraged, but her aunt asked her to continue to do them, so she had to continue to do them. Unexpectedly, Song Ruoxi was not only willing to wear them, but also willing to wear them when treating guests tomorrow. She was moved and tears filled her eyes.

"Three sister, what's wrong?" Song Ruoxi looked at the crystal light of water at the corner of her eyes and asked hurriedly.

Song Ruochi smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Second sister, thank you."

"You make my shoes for me, I'm thanking you." Song Ruoxi smiled, his eyes fluttering, "Since you thank me, I can't let you say thank you in vain."

Song Ruochi looked at her in confusion.

Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "Xiangxiu, bring the set of red-breasted skylark heads and faces to the third girl."

Xiangxiu responded, went to the east room and took out a brocade box and opened it in front of Song Ruo Pool. It was bright and golden, the red treasure was flashing, and the skylark spread its wings and was about to fly, exquisite and luxurious.

"Three sister, I'll give you this set of faces." Song Ruoxi said.

"Second sister, this trouser face is too expensive, Chi'er can't take it." Song Ruochi refused.

"Hold it, you will accompany me tomorrow, and you can't be rude."

Song Ruochi thought for a moment, took the brocade box with both hands, "Thank you, sister Chi'er, for the second sister."

Liu Siniang couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and said, "Miss 2, my wife gave you this set of face, you can't give it to three..."

"Mrs. It's my thing. Who do I want to give it? Do you need to talk too much?" Song Ruoxi interrupted her without waiting for her to finish her words, staring at her coldly.

"Second sister, I'd better keep this face for you." Song Ruochi looked at Liu Siniang timidly.

"You are my sister, I'll give you something, just take it. What are you doing when you listen to other people's gossip?" Song Ruoxi said unhappily with a stern face.

Qinghe pulled Liu Siniang's clothes and asked her not to talk nonsense anymore.

Liu Siniang pursed the corners of her lips and lowered her head.

Song Ruochi bit his lip, looked at Liu Siniang, and then looked at Song Ruoxi, "Thank you, second sister, tomorrow, Chi'er will wear this set of hair and face to greet the guests with the second sister."

"Okay." Song Ruoxi smiled.

"Chi'er won't bother her second sister anymore, Chi'er will go back to her room first." Song Ruochi stood up and saluted.

"Xiang Xiu sent my third sister out for me." Song Ruoxiu said politely.

Xiangxiu sent Song Ruochi out of the door, but Song Ruochi did not return to the yard. She jogged to Aunt Zou's yard with Jinhe in her arms, and shouted repeatedly when she entered the door, "Auntie."

"Hey." Aunt Zou responded and came out of the room, holding a piece of clothing with half a sleeve in her hand. "Miss Three, what's wrong?"

"Auntie, hurry up and enter the house, I have something for you to show." Song Ruochi said happily.

Aunt Zou didn't know what happened, but seeing Song Ruochi's happy look was probably not a bad thing, so she followed her into the room, "Miss Three, why are you so happy?"

Song Ruochi opened the brocade box and said, "Auntie, look."

Aunt Zou took a light breath, "Where did the girl come from this face?"

"The second sister gave it to me."

Aunt Zou frowned, "Why did Miss Second Girl give you a face?"

"I made a pair of shoes for my second sister. The second sister will wear it to meet the guests tomorrow."

"In other words, those shoes are loved by the second girl?"

"Auntie, after the second sister came back from the temple, she became much more easy-going and didn't like to care. This morning, the eldest sister shook her face to show her. I thought the second sister would be angry, but who knew that the second sister ignored it at all." Song Ruochiyi whispered beside Aunt Zou.

Aunt Zou's eyes flashed and she said, "Miss Three, don't imitate the eldest girl. Humph, third girl, wait and see, the eldest girl will suffer."

"I know, I won't learn from her." Song Ruochi said with a lip.

"Miss 3, Miss 2 likes your skills. Don't be afraid of hard work. Make a pair of shoes for the second girl."

Song Ruochi nodded and said, "What I made is pink and purple this time, and next time I make a lake blue one, I think my second sister likes to wear these two colors of clothes."

"Good girl, thank you so much for your hard work. It's all my aunt who is useless and makes you wronged." Aunt Zou thought that Song Ruochi was still so young, so she had to flatter her mother and sister, and she was tempted by others, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Auntie, I'm not wronged. My mother and second sister treat me very well." Song Ruochi pulled a silk pal and pressed the corner of Aunt Zou's eyes, "Don't be sad."

The mother and daughter snuggled together quietly, warming each other.

In the evening, Song Sui came back from the yamen. Ji Yun served him with a loose clothes while saying, "Master, I will invite the Yi family to come tomorrow. Pay more attention to the two brothers of the Yi family and test their knowledge."

When Song Sui heard this, he thought she was looking at someone for Song Ruohu, and frowned slightly, "Madam, although the Yi family had served as an official in the previous dynasty, it has become an ordinary family now. With Hu'er, isn't this family a little lower?"

"Master, I'm not for Hu'er to see you, but for Xi'er." Ji Yun gave him the tea and said calmly.

Song Sui's face was slightly darker, "That wouldn't be even worse. Xi'er is my legitimate daughter."

"Master, men don't know their origins, and women don't know their dowry. If they have the ability, they can win their wives and children. If they don't have the ability, even if they become officials, they will be dismissed from their posts and their positions, which will end up in trouble with their wives and children." Ji Yun said in a righteous manner.

"Madam's words make sense, but in this Guangling Mansion, you need to find a man with a similar family, good character and capable character to protect Xi'er. There are many people, so there is no need to find a Bai Ding."

Ji Yun's eyes turned and said, "Master, Xi'er lived in the temple for four or five years. She suffered so much before she came back to us. She would get married without a few years of care. I don't want anything else, I hope she can live a comfortable life. I don't want her to marry those high-ranking families, and set rules in front of my mother-in-law every day. I would rather she marry under my belt."

Song Sui sighed lightly: "Madam, no matter whether you marry low or high, you must set rules in front of your mother-in-law."

"I have inquired about it. Old Mrs. Yi treats his wife like her biological daughter. The Yi family tutors like this, so Mrs. Yi will treat Xi'er the same in the future."

Song Sui pondered for a moment and said, "Since the wife has decided, I will follow you for her husband. But this matter will only be determined after he passes the spring examination next year. If he can't even pass the spring examination, even if his family is better, he will not be qualified to marry Xi'er."

"This is natural. I will never marry my daughter to a Bai Ding."

Song Sui stroked his beard and wanted to speak but stopped.

"As for Hu'er's marriage, I have seen several families in the past two years, but Hu'er is not satisfied. Although she calls me a mother, she is not my biological child. I can't force her to agree. After all, after getting married, she lives. If the two of them don't get along and become a resentful partner, she will hold a grudge against my legitimate mother for the rest of her life. I think it's better to wait for the spring next year to recruit a son-in-law on the list. What do you think of this?" Ji Yun looked at her face and knew what Song Sui was going to say, so she took the initiative to mention it without waiting for him to speak.

"Madam, this is a good idea." Song Sui looked happy.

"It's getting late. Master, wait until I change my clothes, and go to the flower hall for dinner."

Song Sui nodded.

Ji Yun walked into the bedroom, and the smile on her face disappeared. She had a cold face and pulled the buttons on her clothes like anger. Song Sui was sitting outside, Rong Qiao and others could not persuade her, so she could only take the clothes out quickly and serve her to change them.

After changing his clothes, Ji Yun stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at it for a while, took a long breath, slowly exhaled, and tried hard to pull out a smile and walked out, "Master, let's go!"

In the flower hall, Song Ruohu, Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan sat on chairs drinking tea and chatting, and the four concubines stood by.

"Sister Three, I heard you made a pair of shoes for your second sister." Song Ruojuan raised his eyebrows and said.

Song Ruochi smiled and said, "It's done today and I've given it to my second sister."

Song Ruojuan asked, "Third sister, can the second sister fit the shoes?"

"The second sister is dressed very well."

Song Ruojuan's eyes turned slightly and asked, "Did she give me anything to you?"

Song Ruochi looked at Song Ruojuan, lowered his eyelids, and said, "How can my sister ask her to give her something to her to thank me for her?"

Song Ruojuan stared at her suspiciously, "But some people said that when you saw you come out of your second sister's yard, you had a brocade box in your arms."

"That must be because she read it wrong, that's the cloth that wraps shoes." Song Ruochi didn't want to arouse her jealousy and lied.

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Song Ruojuan curled her lips and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

"I have someone in the needle and thread room to help her make shoes. Do you need to make a pair of shoes like this to send her?" Song Ruohu glanced at Song Ruochi with contempt, "If you don't do it, you have to learn from those humble ways and please act like a good person."

Song Ruochi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I dare not forget my father's teachings. Being sisters should be loved by each other. I made shoes for my second sister, which is my intention to be a sister."

Song Ruohu's face changed slightly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Since that's the case, third sister, I am also your sister, why don't you make a pair of shoes for me? Can you still love your sisters and share them with each other?"

"If my eldest sister doesn't like my rough workmanship, I will make a pair of shoes for my eldest sister." Song Ruochi said with a good temper.

Song Ruohu sneered twice and said, "I have no luck in relieving the shoes you made. You should go and please your good second sister."

Song Ruochi smiled slightly and did not respond.

The sisters stopped talking, and the flower hall was silent. It was not until Song Sui and Ji Yun came that the three of them stood up to salute, "The daughter has met her father and her mother."

"Where have Xi'er and Huai'er gone?" After everyone finished their salute, Song Sui sat down and asked.

"When you say that, the second young master has a classmate's birthday, and the second young master is going to the banquet." The maid who served Song Huai stepped forward and saluted.

"The second girl is here." A maid's message came from outside the door, and then Song Ruoxi, wearing a cloak and a handwarmer, walked in swayingly.

"Xi'er, are you very cold?" When Song Ruoxi came in to pay his respects in the morning, he had already untied his cloak and put down his hand heater. Song Sui didn't see her dress. When he saw her dress so thickly, he asked in surprise.

"When I say goodbye, Xi'er doesn't feel cold, but Xi'er's hands are cold, so my mother forced Xi'er to wear so many clothes, afraid that Xi'er will get sick from the cold." Song Ruoxi said distressedly.
