Bondage

Early in the morning of the second day, Song Lan'an took the housekeeper of the Song family to the British government to meet the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was over seventy years old, but her body was still strong. When Song Lan'an saw her, she respectfully saluted her, which surprised the old man very much.

The two governments are now discussing marriage, and he must be seeking something important with his appearance today.

The eldest princess leaned on a gold-plated cane in her hand, her face was sombre, and she couldn't see any happiness or anger.

Song Lan'an got up and said with a smile, "I came to see you today because I really want to ask for something."

"Come and listen."

"Now is the critical time for the children of the two families to get married. However, Zhuo Jing has been seriously ill recently. In order not to affect the marriage between Qin and Jin in the two houses, I would like to invite the Eldest Princess to handle the marriage for the two children."

"And today I was also entrusted by the dog. I wonder if I can ask the British government to send a few people to the humble house to help with a few things?"

Hearing this, a smile gradually appeared in the eldest princess' eyes.

Whether Mrs. Song is seriously ill or not, she doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.But now Song Lan'an's attitude is very obvious, asking people from the British government to go to the Song government to help with the management in advance is to make a concession.

Before the bride entered the mansion, she asked her subordinates to help her husband's family affairs. This is what Song Lan'an told her that Mingxiang would directly take over the family when he entered the house in the future.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with Song Lan'an's sincerity, and after a few words of promise, she was ready to go.

After finishing the matter, Song Lan'an walked out of the British government.

On the carriage, the housekeeper of the Song family said: "Give the affairs of the house to the girl of the Ming family, will you..."

Song Lan'an waved his hand and said casually: "Su Yi's arrangements were made well in the early years, and there have been no troubles in the mansion for so many years, and now he is not afraid of anything. Besides, although Ming Jiu is useless, he is not a member of the British government, I believe She will manage the house well in the future."

"Besides, Yi'er will definitely leave Song Fu behind, so you and I don't need to worry."

Speaking of his wife, Song Lan'an's tone became a little more angry.

"Besides, in the future, the mansion will always be handed over to Fu'er. Even if Ming Jiu can't help him up, it will be a headache for him. The road that can be paved for him has been paved. If it doesn't go well, I will be a father. There is no way."

"The eldest young master is calm and wise, and he will surely be able to emerge from the blue."

Song Lan'an smiled, with a little imperceptible pride in his eyes.

How can he and Su Yi's child not be outstanding?

Slightly drooping her eyes, Song Lan'an rested with half-closed eyelids.

Spring has come, and the wedding date of Song Fu and Ming Xiang is getting closer, but Mrs. Song is getting more and more flustered.Just because she found that now she was staying in the room all day, and no one came to look for her.

For three whole days, she could hear the servants in the mansion chatting noisyly, but no one came to ask her to go out to handle the government affairs.

"It's noisy outside, but are you preparing for Fu'er's marriage?"

Tanzhu nodded: "The mansion is preparing for the ancestor worship in the future, but madam is disturbed?"

"Worshiping the ancestors?"

Mrs. Song stood up abruptly: "Why is no one in the mansion notifying me of the ancestor worship? Worshiping the ancestors, the heaven and the earth, and the mistress of the mansion don't show up, what's the point?"

She tore off her forehead and wiped off her forehead. Mrs. Song was getting up to change her clothes, but she heard Tanzhu say: "Madam, don't worry, the master told you to rest more and take good care of your body."

"what do you mean?"

"The master told the slaves to accompany the madam to recuperate, and to take care of the body before thinking about other things. The madam is weak now, so go back to the bed and continue to rest."

Mrs. Song had a look of disbelief.

Song Lan'an, what does this mean?Want to ground her?

"I'm going to find the master."

She put on her coat and wanted to leave, but she was stopped by sandalwood as soon as she reached the door: "Madam, it's better to go back and rest on the couch, the master is not in the mansion today, you can't find him even if you go out."

Mrs. Song's eyes were red, and she was flustered and frightened.

How did she know that she had served Song Lan'an conscientiously for more than ten years, but because he was partial to Song Wan, he pretended to be sick for two days, and he grounded her just like that?

All these years, she has worked hard without credit, so why can't he say a soft word to her?

Would rather let the mistress be vacant when the eldest son of the Song family gets married, and Song Lan'an is not willing to coax her for a while?

When her eyes went dark, Mrs. Song suddenly fell backwards.

In the past few days, she shirked that she was ill and hardly ate or drank, but now she was so angry that she passed out directly.

Tan Zhu stepped forward to help Mrs. Song, and put ginseng slices under her tongue.

The strong ginseng flavor spread from the bottom of the tongue to the mouth, Mrs. Song only felt the root of the tongue tingling, and the whole chest cavity and even the breath were full of bitterness.

Sandalwood laid the man flat on the couch, turned around to find the doctor, and bumped into Song Yao as soon as he went out.

"Where are you going, mother?"

"The madam is seriously ill these few days, it's better for the second miss not to bother her."

"Mother still not well?"

Song Yao looked sleepy, she still had something to discuss with Mrs. Song.

Since she fasted for two days and two nights, her father never mentioned the matter of marrying her to that disciple again.She sent the maids around her to inquire about it, and the housekeeper didn't let anyone go to the Hu's house to inquire about anything.

Presumably seeing her unwillingness, my father stopped and gave up.

Song Yao originally wanted to discuss her marriage with Mrs. Song, but her mother never recovered.

Standing at the door and thinking for a long time, Song Yao said, "I'll go in and see my mother."

"Second sister."

Pulling Song Yao who was about to enter the door, Song Nian took him aside: "Mother has been very worried for a while because of your marriage with that student, now that mother can finally take a break, so don't bother me any more. with her."

Song Yao bit his lip and nodded to signal Tan Zhu to leave first.

Pulling the man back to his yard, Song Nian sighed softly: "Elder brother's marriage cannot be wronged. Second sister must not make noise in the mansion these few days. If it disturbs the bride, it will be our sin."

Seeing Song Yao's expression of indifference, she softened her temper, broke up the words, and said it again in detail.

"Since my father had thought of marrying the second sister to a disciple, I think he will never worry about the second sister's marriage in the future."

"But the new sister-in-law is different. She just started to make a name for herself as a wise man, and she will do her best to tell us a good marriage. If the sister-in-law comes in, the second sister will treat her well and treat her..."

"What did you say?"

Song Yao sneered and said, "Are you stupid? Mother is still here. You and I have a bride who decides our marriage? And she is a bride who can't speak well and rarely interacts with others?"

"Although my sister-in-law is not good at speaking, the British government is not..."

"Why do you always boost the ambitions of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"And why doesn't father care about our marriage? Even if I can't enter the East Palace, father won't marry you and me to some unbearable family at will."

"Ninety percent of this student named Hu was used by my father to scare me."

When Song Yao said this, there was a little sadness in his eyes; "Except for Song Wan, the first daughters in the mansion are you and me. We are of great use. How could father..."

Wasting these two useful chess pieces for nothing?
