Bondage

Song Lan'an pinched the center of her eyebrows to hide the annoyance in her eyes.

It's just that Mrs. Song was still crying in the room, which made him very upset.

"Master, you just put off this errand, now you tell him about Qianbai Jianguo, and he will always agree."

"If you have nothing to do, you can go back to the Buddhist hall and copy the scriptures. It is also good to meditate."

Mrs. Song's eyes were red, and she was anxious: "The master only knows how to copy scriptures all day long. I have been the mistress of the mansion for more than ten years, but at the end of the day, I ended up as a returned home daughter who was abandoned and sent away my confidants. fate."

"The master never said anything wrong to the eldest girl in the mansion, but she threw my concubine's face on the ground and trampled on it."

"The concubine knows that she has a humble background and is not worthy to be compared with Sister Wan, but the master doesn't value the concubine's status, and the concubine recognizes it, but you can't play tricks on the future of Yao'er and Lan'er."

Mrs. Song stood in front of Song Lan'an's desk holding her handkerchief, looking down at the person in front of her for the first time.

"Song Fu has now settled down in the Ministry of Officials. Sister Wan replaced Yao'er and went to the East Palace. Both of them have a good future, but what about Yao'er and Lan'er?"

Hearing Mrs. Song mentioning herself, Song Yao stood aside with downcast eyes, but her teeth hurt from biting.

"Yao'er has already reached the age of Ji, but the marriage has not yet been decided. If the master bears the name of a national thief, what will happen to Yao'er in the future? With such a reputation in our mansion, how can I choose Yao'er's husband's house?"

"Lan'er is still a half-grown child now, which way can he go in the future?"

Mrs. Song clapped her hands on the desk and said sharply: "Master has planned for the clan all his life, for Song Fu and Song Wan, but Dudu has never planned for my mother and son. What do you mean?"

Song Lan'an frowned: "Where did the name of the country's thief come from? This order was issued by the imperial court, and ordinary people who don't understand political affairs will say a few unpleasant words. How can officials recognize the name of the country's thief?"

It was rare to be patient, Song Lan'an explained: "You don't need to worry about Yao'er's marriage. I will make arrangements when I come back from Suhe. Now that there is a lot of chaos, who wants to talk about marriage?"

"As long as the bones are three points hard and the people with a clear mind are not looking at the marriage at this time, you just wait."

"Wait?"

Big teardrops rolled down one after another, Mrs. Song glanced at Song Yao who was standing in the corner, and grabbed a heartache that made her whole body tremble.

"Master, tell me, how long do you want Yao'er to wait?"

"Didn't you say wait until I return from Suhe?"

Song Lan'an frowned fiercely, watching Mrs. Song's aggressive appearance, her patience dissipated little by little.

"I don't want to wait, I don't want to wait until the Song Mansion is notorious, and hastily choose a poor family for Yao'er."

"Then you don't wait, you..."

Pointing to the woman beside her, Song Lan'an said, "Go and invite the uncle and grandma over."

The woman nodded yes, she turned around and went out to invite Song Fu and Ming Xiang over.Ming Xiang stood beside Song Fu, looked at Song Yao who couldn't help crying in the corner of his eyes, and sighed inwardly.

When she first married into the Song Mansion, she made up her mind to treat the aunts in the mansion well, but she could get along well with both Song Ni and Song Nian, but Song Yao always made her feel unhappy. .

She didn't know whether it was because she couldn't find a satisfactory marriage for herself or what, she often saw that the other party had a gun and a stick when talking to Song Nian, and sometimes she had to sarcasm a few words in the open and in the dark when facing her.

The two of them are about the same age, and Ming Xiang is lazy to show her the spectrum of being a sister-in-law in front of her, so naturally he doesn't want to meddle in her affairs.

Seeing Song Yao here today, Ming Xiang knew that the family must have arranged for her, and there was something for her.

Wei Wei stood up straight, Ming Xiang waited for Song Lan'an to speak.

"You want to watch the marriage for Song Yao?"

"nature."

Mrs. Song's eyes were red, she could see through Song Lan'an's temperament thoroughly, he would never care about Yao'er.As long as he had Yao'er in his heart, he wouldn't be delaying Yao'er's marriage until now, saying that he would wait until he returns to deal with it.

"The marriage of the second young lady in the mansion will be left to Madam."

After finishing speaking, Song Lan'an waved his hand to signal them to leave, but Song Fu frowned and said: "The war is tense right now, and no one with a little background will talk about marriage at this time, why don't you wait for a while, When his father Suhe returns, Yao'er's marriage will be improved..."

"You speak lightly."

Mrs. Song waved the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and said: "Song Wan stole my Yaoer's luck, you as an elder brother also want to trample her into the mud?"

"You yourself married the British government and got a Qingyun road, but you insisted on suppressing Yao'er to prevent her from marrying a good family?"

Full of grief and anger broke out at this time, years of forbearance and compromise made her unable to calmly talk to a few people.

Song Lan'an doesn't want to see her, she doesn't care, but Yao'er is already old, and there is a better-looking girl from Shangjing, who hasn't made a marriage at Yao'er's age?

How could she be in no hurry?

"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of Yao'er's sister's marriage."

"Look? How long are you going to delay showing Yao'er? How come you never showed Yao'er about marriage in the past?"

Mrs. Song's eyes were red: "I don't know what kind of heart you have. You passed Yao'er and told Nian'er that you are close to the British government. Are you thinking that their sisters will not get along?"

"Which mansion's mistress will go over her sister to marry her younger sister?"

Mrs. Song's voice became louder and louder, and she felt a suffocation in her heart. If she didn't vomit it all out today, she might be able to drive herself crazy here for the rest of her life.

"You told Nian'er about such a high-class family, what do you make Yao'er think? How do you make Yao'er deal with himself in front of Nian'er?"

"enough."

Song Lan'an jumped up at the table: "Song Yao, tell me, do you want to obey your mother in your marriage, or wait for me to come back from Suhe before choosing someone else?"

Song Yao lowered his head and murmured: "Boy...baby doesn't understand these things, everything is arranged by mother."

"Good good."

Song Lan'an sighed again and again: "You two have also heard that Song Yao's marriage is decided by her mother, and no one else in the house can interfere."

"No matter how this marriage is done in the future, you two should not regret it."

After finishing speaking, Song Lan'an shook his sleeves and left, unwilling to look at the two of them again.

Song Fu followed closely behind, he was full of concern about surrendering, so he didn't have the leisure to care about Song Yao's engagement or not.

"If mother is in short supply, she can send someone to look for Xiang'er."

Saluting Mrs. Song's blessing, Ming Xiang walked out with a faint smile on his face.

When she walked out, she saw Song Nian standing under the porch, thinking about something with downcast eyes.Ming Xiang's thin lips parted slightly, and after a while, he finally left without saying a word, following Song Fu.

Mrs. Song came out of the house, and Song Yao couldn't help crying and followed behind her. When they saw Song Nian, they both felt slightly uncomfortable.
