The Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: The Head of the Family

Chapter 205
Aunt Tian sighed, but her brows and eyes were soft.

She explained with a smile: "It's the blessing of Duke Tuo, so my aunt can get such a pot of orchids at this time."

Song Jinyue listened attentively, and then Aunt Tian began to count the details.

Ever since Song Guogong brought Aunt Tian into the mansion, Aunt Tian's elder brother also came to live in the mansion together.

Because it is inconvenient for a foreigner to walk in the Duke's mansion, he lives in a house in the front yard with the servant on the gatehouse.

It's just that Song Jinyue didn't care about this person, nor did she meet him.

Since Song Guogong broke his leg, Aunt Tian took good care of him and sent many good things to Aunt Tian.

Even the elder brother who brought Aunt Tian also received some rewards.

Father bought a restaurant outside for Aunt Tian's elder brother. This elder brother only puts up a name and runs it with his own shopkeeper. Steward Song is responsible for checking the accounts every month.

All the monthly money of the restaurant was sent to Aunt Tian's elder brother.

This elder brother is a bit stupid, holding money, and has no hobbies.

He begged the porter's boy to take him to the restaurant for a stroll, and he actually fell in love with the restaurant.

Now I eat and live in the restaurant all day, it is lively and lively, but I am very happy.

People also opened their eyes. The guests of the restaurant know that although the shopkeeper of this restaurant is a stupid person, but his sister is the concubine of Song Guogong, so they are naturally offering it.

Those who wanted to make a living in the Duke's house would naturally find him, but their minds were not like ordinary people's.

Every time I collected something, I didn't do anything.

But the person who gave the gift didn't dare to reprimand him. He only said that the Duke of Song's mansion had been taken care of, and the person who handled the matter naturally believed it.

Coincidentally, someone sent a pot of orchids a few days ago, and this elder brother doesn't like these plants.

Hearing people say that this plant is very valuable and rare, so he sent it to the Duke's mansion to give to his sister.

"Aunt Tian, ​​let's go back, father can't do without anyone."

Seeing that she had already walked out of the courtyard gate, Song Jinyue had already learned the information she wanted to know, so she looked at Aunt Tian and said.

Aunt Tian responded with a smile, said a few more words, and then returned to her courtyard.

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, without saying anything, and walked towards Ming Zhuxuan with Qiu Yun.

After returning to Ming Zhuxuan, Song Jinyue stopped, turned her head to look at Qiu Yun behind her and said, "Qiu Yun, go and call Song Zhi here."

"Yes."

The temperament of Aunt Tian's elder brother is probably well known in the capital now.

Well, who sent such a precious plant?

Suspicion arose in her heart, so she naturally wanted to ask someone to investigate.

Song Jinyue specially ordered someone to tidy up a study room in Mingzhuxuan.

Firstly, because she was in charge of the house, she often had to call people to talk, and always went to the front hall, so going back and forth was unavoidable.

So he tidied up a study room.

Most of the people who talk back and forth are the women in charge everywhere.

Except occasionally she would call Song Zhi and Song Qing to come and talk.

When Song Zhi came, Song Jinyue was sitting in front of the desk, holding a new wolf brush in his hand, and the white rice paper was filled with small letters of the Book of Songs.

Song Jinyue was extremely satisfied with her copybook, and when the ink on the rice paper was dry, she hung the wolf hair on the pen holder.

Remove the white jade ruler pressing the rice paper from the rice paper, gently pick up the rice paper from the table with both hands, and put it on the bookshelf behind him with great satisfaction.

I thought in my heart that it would be good to have someone frame it to make a screen and put it in the house someday.

With a "squeak", the door of the study was pushed open.

Song Jinyue turned around slowly, and saw Qiu Yun standing with the door open.

Song Zhi followed behind her.

Qiu Yun brought Song Zhi in for a salute.

Song Zhi followed suit and saluted, "Second Miss."

Song Jinyue nodded slightly, got up and walked to the middle of the study, and pointed to the chair beside her to signal Song Zhi to sit down and talk.

And she sat on the main seat.

"Song Zhi, help me to check and find out who Aunt Tian's elder brother has contacts with outside, and who has given him gifts."

Song Zhi got up, bowed back and said, "Yes, I wrote it down."

He didn't know why Second Miss suddenly wanted to ask someone to check on Aunt Tian's brother,

"In the past few days, have you found a suitable on-duty?" Song Jinyue asked again what he had told Song Zhi earlier.

Song Zhi frowned, shook his head, and replied, "Second Miss, there is no suitable candidate yet."

Because of the eucommia incident, Song Zhi is now extraordinarily cautious about selecting personnel.

Song Jinyue also understood that there was no rush.

He simply ordered him to go down to do business first.

I thought it would take some time for Song Zhi to investigate this matter.

But she never expected that Song Zhi would come back with the news a little later that day.

Song Zhi took each of the pamphlets and handed them to the second lady, which recorded one by one that the Tian family brother made friends with those people and received their things.

Song Jinyue was curious, so she asked Song Zhi where this booklet came from.

It turned out that the shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant saw that Tian's brother was a bit stupid, and was afraid that something would happen to him or cause trouble.

Therefore, he recorded in detail one by one the brother Tian's friendship with those people, and the gifts he received from them.

The booklet was hidden in the room, and Song Zhi sneaked into the shopkeeper's room, stole the booklet, copied a copy, and put the original back quietly.

"You go down to eat first, if there is anything else, I will ask Qiu Yun to send you a letter."

"Second Miss, the younger one will step back first."

After Song Zhi left, Song Jinyue flipped through the booklet in the study.

It records in detail which day Tian's elder brother had dinner with those people and received gifts,

Even the other party's name and family background are written down in detail.

She turned the pages.

It was just ordinary merchants and hawkers in the capital, until she turned to the latest page, which was written as a gift to Tian's elder brother orchids.

His surname is Zhao, and he lives in the first room of Anfu Hutong.

It disappeared in the background, and finally the shopkeeper wrote the words "unknown origin" on it.

Song Jinyue only felt that this place sounded familiar.

She raised her eyes suddenly, her body froze, and the booklet in her hand slipped out, hitting her instep heavily.

But after all, because the booklet didn't weigh much, she just felt something touch her instep.

"Qiu Yun." Song Jinyue called out towards the door of the study.

Qiu Yun, who was waiting outside on the porch, heard her lady's voice, stepped quickly and walked to the study door, pushed the study door open, walked up to her lady, and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Go and find Song Qing, and tell me that I have some important orders."

Seeing her lady's solemn expression, Qiu Yun didn't dare to delay, saluted and hurried out of the room.

Only then did Song Jinyue bend down to pick up the booklet that had fallen on her instep, and put it back on the desk.

She spread out the page with the record of giving orchids to Tian's elder brother, her eyes fell on Anfu Hutong, and it took a long time for her thoughts to calm down.
