Bondage

"Is the elder sister-in-law looking down on my nephew?"

"I didn't mean that."

Mrs. Song looked at Yang Pianzhi, thought for a while and said, "The family of the third brother and sister can be considered a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don't know why your nephew never remarried?"

Yang Pianzhi saw that although there was curiosity in her words, she did not intend to mock, so she casually replied: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are both dead, and there is no one to help him with his marriage. Besides, my nephew is an honest man with a good temperament. Being dull and only thinking about the family business, that's why I haven't been able to marry again."

"Now that he came to Shangjing, it was because the clan wanted me to make a family relationship for him."

While talking, Yang Pianzhi frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.

She cleared her throat with a smile on her face: "My nephew is handsome and has a stable temperament. Let's just say something rebellious. My short-lived brother and sister-in-law left early. If a girl from another family gets married, she can be the master of the house." of."

"If that girl is smarter, it will be easy to handle my nephew."

"More importantly, my nephew has lived in Jiangnan for a long time..."

Glancing at Mrs. Song, Yang Pianzhi hummed and smiled: "Jiangnan is far away from Shangjing, so it's not easy for him to come back."

Mrs. Song pursed her lips when she heard the words: "This person is really nice, you need to help me as an aunt."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Song said a few other words, then left with a faint smile.

Seeing her leave, Yang Pianzhi spat: "What the hell, I thought she was going to be a matchmaker for my nephew."

Thinking that there was a ready-made candidate in the mansion, Yang Pianzhi rolled his eyes and his mind instantly became active.

Her nephew is indeed good, if it wasn't for Song Wan's height, and there is a concubine Yun holding her hand behind her, such a remnant flower and willow would not be able to catch her eyes, and would not be worthy of his nephew.

The Baifu embroidered silver trousers that Song Wan was wearing that day flashed in front of her eyes, she smiled, and happily went to find her nephew.

Song Wan has a lot of good things in his hands, don't take advantage of outsiders.

Twisting her waist and walking out, Yang Pianzhi was so happy that her whole body was full of wind, her waist was much straighter than before.

Back to the third room, the maid beside Yang Pianzhi asked: "How can the third lady be so happy today?"

She hooked the golden hairpin on her head that was hurting her neck, smiled and pointed in the direction of the big house: "That one has a wrong heart and wants to send the previous big Buddha back to the mansion, but I don't think it's good to take the initiative Open your mouth, and the bait is thrown in front of me."

"You mean sister Wan?"

"It's not."

The servant girl said: "Then this bait, should Madam take it or not?"

Yang Pianzhi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed joy: "Since all the pies that fell from the sky fell on my head this day, I naturally wanted to bite them. But she just wanted me to take the initiative, so she pushed a boat along the way and picked it up by herself." Just pull it out and clean it up. I just bear a bad name, so there is nothing I dare not do."

"Let's say that sister Wan is smart. If she becomes my nephew, she will take a big advantage. If she doesn't, she won't blame me, my aunt who lives in the next room."

"Then do you want to tell Master Yang Liu about this?"

"Don't say it to him, he is a very dull person, and he will definitely not agree."

After finishing speaking, Yang Pianzhi thought carefully about how to proceed with this matter.

But Qianqian let it out, and Mrs. Song didn't care about it anymore.She was anxious about the matter between Song Yao and the prince, how could she have the heart to find a good family for Song Wan?

Besides, Song Wan's status was so shameful, if she really went to a well-know family and asked her to marry her, she might be misunderstood as coming to humiliate the man.

Yang Pianzhi's nephew is a widower, Song's marriage is more than sufficient for him, and the other party must have nothing to choose.

"Isn't madam afraid that the third madam won't take the bait?"

"Hmph, how could she not take the bait with her shallow eyelids? Besides, Wan'er is the eldest daughter of the Pingzhang Government Office. What is her nephew? Just wait and see, she will definitely make a move within three days." .”

The dowry woman next to Mrs. Song nodded, and carefully mentioned the matter of Song Yao and Song Nian learning the rules from the maids in the palace.

After staying for three or five days, the concierge of the mansion came to report that Yang Pianzhi's nephew came to visit his aunt today, and Mrs. Song knew that the opportunity had come.

"I'm afraid it will snow in a few days. Today, you will find all three young ladies, and I will take them to the storehouse in the mansion to choose copper women to make cloaks."

The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Song responded and walked out with a smile.

Song Wan was reading in the house when he received the message from the servant girl in the mansion, and he responded lightly when he heard the message.

"Miss, this servant is going to light the stove for you."

Heng Zhi went into the house, put the red charcoal into the brass hand stove, and carefully put on a soft leather cover with thickened quilted cotton and handed it to Song Wan.

Heng Wu helped Song Wan put on his jacket, and when he was about to change himself, he heard Song Wan say, "Let Jinshu come with me."

Holding the stove in hand, Song Wan and Heng Zhi Jinshu went to Mrs. Song's yard together.

"I bought some ermine leather in the womb a few days ago, and the same color is very good. Neither your father nor I like these things, so we wanted to make an ermine leather vest for your sister."

Mrs. Song looked at Sister Song Wan, and said with a smile, "It's just that the mansion didn't make much of this vest in the past. I don't know the size of your sisters now. Let's take a measurement together today."

"In addition, Yao'er and Nian'er seem to be taller, so the cloaks in the room should also be changed together."

Concubine Yun gave Song Wan a lot of fur cloaks, Song Wan did not lack these things, but Song Yao and Song Nian seldom got one or two.Song Wan had no objection when she heard this, and just walked quietly behind Mrs. Song to the embroidery room.

After leaving the courtyard of the big house, Mrs. Song suddenly said, "Since I have made ermine vests, why don't I give you sisters a brocade jacket embroidered with colorful flowers and lotuses?"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Huanhuajin is festive and rich, suitable for your age."

Mrs. Song smiled, and said to Song Yao and Song Nian: "You two go with Yunjin to get the four bolts of raccoon brocade from the warehouse. Be careful on the way, don't break the silk."

Seeing Song Yao and Song Nian leaving, Song Wan stood aside and waited with his eyelids drooping slightly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Song said warmly: "Is it cold to hold my son? I will give you the mother's hand stove."

"Thank you mother for your concern, Waner is not cold."

Song Wan turned to look at Jin Shu, who took a step forward and stood behind her.

Several people were waiting quietly, three or four people suddenly walked in outside the Chuihua door.The leader among them was Yang Pianzhi, and behind him was a middle-aged man about 25 years old.

As soon as the man saw the crowd, he hurriedly stopped and wanted to retreat to the Chuihua Gate, but was blocked by Yang Pianzhi's wife behind him.

He staggered and staggered a few steps before standing up straight.

Yang Pianzhi greeted Mrs. Song and Song Wan with a smile, as if a stranger had bumped into a female family member in the mansion.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Bring Wan'er to enjoy the scenery?"
