Bondage

Chapter 45 Backer

"Call the government doctor quickly."

Jiang's mother was so frightened that she panicked, Song Wan pulled her away, pointed to a few careless women to pick up Mrs. Jiang, and sent her to the wing of the Liyuan.

After the government doctor gave the old lady an injection, Mrs. Jiang woke up slowly.

"Let Aunt Lin go back...to the Embroidery Smoke Pavilion."

With tears in her eyes, Mother Jiang nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law will let her go back to Xiuyan Pavilion."

Putting down the big stone in her heart, Mrs. Jiang left the precious pearls and jadeite beside her, and dismissed Jiang's mother and Song Wan, so that they could leave her alone and focus on the big banquet in the mansion.Jiang's mother and Song pulled out of the wing room, both of them looked a little nervous, but they were thinking about different things.

"Wan'er..."

Song Wanhuishen: "Mother, please tell me."

Mother Jiang looked puzzled: "Aunt Lin...what should I do?"

Song Wan lowered his eyes and didn't speak for a moment.

"Please speak."

Song Wan said: "Mother, do you know why Grandma asked Aunt Lin to go back to Xiuyan Pavilion?"

"I know, the old lady has always loved you, and she can't bear you being wronged. But right now it's a major matter for the Hou Mansion. Mother believes that compared with the future of the Hou Mansion, you won't care about being wronged... right?"

Mother Jiang looked at Song Wan carefully, feeling a little anxious.

She had been in charge of the account book of the donation in the Hou Mansion, and she knew exactly how much money was in that account.But now that Jiang Xingjian is returning to the mansion, the cost of the man's travel and management is huge.However, the original expenses in the mansion did not decrease. On the contrary, since Jiang Xingjian came back, more money was sent to Tongdongchang in the palace.

After all, the Hou Mansion still wanted to find a real vacancy for Jiang Xingjian.

She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep, and she filled in all her dowry, but it was not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hou's mansion was so lacking, she wouldn't have flattered Lin Jiayue, who she didn't like.

Mother Jiang sighed quietly: "It's not that mother doesn't understand your embarrassment, but it's not that you don't understand the situation of the Hou Mansion. Now that Lin Jiayue has a way to earn money, we can only be happy, and there is no reason to hold back."

Song Wan lowered his head and swallowed the words in his mouth.

After a while, under Jiang's mother's urging, he said in a low voice: "It's not easy to decide what to do with Aunt Lin, it's up to mother to decide what to do."

"Isn't it because I have a hard time making up my mind that I asked you?"

"That depends on what the mother thinks is more important. Two evils are the lesser of two evils. Wan'er can't be the master."

Whether Jiang Xingjian's reputation is more important than the Houfu's family style, or the short-term money income is more important, she can't make a decision, so she can only let Jiang's mother choose.

"You're right, I asked Aunt Lin to prepare, and everything will continue as usual."

Mother Jiang patted Song Wan's hand, then left in a hurry.

In Jiang's mother's heart, she couldn't think of it so far. In her eyes, Song Wan's momentary embarrassment fell, and Lin Jiayue firmly guaranteed that a large amount of money will come into the account today, and the latter is of course the most important.As for Mrs. Jiang, Mother Jiang has made a decision.

When the old lady knows that today's harvest is worth Zhuangzi's harvest in five or even ten years, she will calm down her anger.

"..."

Song Wan stared at Mother Jiang's leaving back, and was stunned for a while.

"Miss, here's a visitor."

Heng Zhi leaned close to Song Wan's ear and whispered, and Song Wan went to the Chuihua Gate to welcome the female relatives of Biefu.

When Mrs. Sun came over with her daughter, she saw Song Wan talking happily with Mrs. Lan, and there was a lady in simple clothes standing beside her, whom she had never seen before.

Mrs. Sun came forward to say hello, and Song Wan introduced them to the three with a smile.

Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Bai also brought their own daughters, and the little girls are very gentle.

"There is a stage set up in Haitang Garden, why don't we go and see it together?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "Well, I haven't listened to the opera for some days, I don't know how many songs I sang today?"

The Bai family is no better than Sun Lan's second mansion, she knows whose blessing she has entrusted to step into the Hou's mansion.Moreover, Mrs. Bai is also a mellow and intelligent person, so as soon as Fang came, she gave a general idea of ​​what she knew about Song Fu.

Song Wanzheng didn't know how to thank her, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "I should be singing "Parasite Grass" right now. If Mrs. Bai likes it, I can order it later."

A group of people chatted, laughed and walked towards the Begonia Garden. As soon as they entered the garden, they saw Lin Jiayue holding a set of rouge and gouache and approaching the richly dressed women one by one.Holding the rouge in her hand, she was talking incessantly.

Mrs. Sun was a little curious when she saw this, and asked with a smile: "Whose wife is that? She looks very lively."

Because of Lin Jiayue's clothes, everyone thought she was the head lady of a certain room in the Hou's residence. Although one or two were impatient earlier, they also felt that the Hou's residence had no rules, but they never said anything.

However, those who know the Hou's mansion know that apart from Jiang Yan, the other young men in the Hou's mansion are not yet old enough to marry, and Jiang Yan has never heard that they are married, so they whispered to others about Lin Jiayue's identity.

It's just that everyone asked around, but they didn't know which daughter-in-law this person was. Now that Mrs. Sun asked Song Wan, one or two of them pricked up their ears.

Song Wan looked at Lin Jiayue who was happily selling rouge and gouache, her face turned red, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

She has lived for 18 years, and she has never heard of any aristocratic family who behaved like this, even those who came from merchants, but whoever has read a few books and read the Book of Rites to understand shame, will not be so abrupt.

After a while, Song Wancai said: "It's Aunt Lin from the family."

"..."

Jiang Xingjian brought back a woman from outside, and caused restlessness in the mansion because of her, everyone in Shangjing knew about it.Hearing what Song Wan said now, she instantly understood Lin Jiayue's identity.

When the mistress of the old-fashioned family saw that the Hou Mansion let a concubine out to mess around, her complexion immediately darkened.

And the one who had carefully observed Lin Jiayue's clothes and behaved arrogantly, even more often cast sympathetic and pity glances at Song Wan.

Song Wan didn't look up after finishing speaking, just greeted the ladies as usual.

Lin Jiayue saw that she had been busy for a long time and no one paid attention to her, but now when Song Wan came, everyone gathered around her, her hands trembling with anger.

The crowd, as if they couldn't see her, took their seats one by two, happily listening to the play.

As soon as the show ended, Eunuch Chang, the chief eunuch of Yanqing Palace, came to pass on an oral order to Concubine Jiang. He first praised Song Wan kindly, and then bestowed many good things one after another.Song Wan took it with a smile, thanked Eunuch Chang again, and returned to the crowd.

Concubine Jiang's saving face for her was not to flatter Song Wan, but to let Sun Lan's second residence know that there was a fifth prince, Shen Qianshu, behind the Hou's residence. Song Wan knew it well, so just accept those things.

The rest of the wives knew more or less what the reason for this was, and put aside a few simple compliments. Only Lin Jiayue felt sore when she saw this scene.
