Bondage

This summer is hot, and several elderly old princes and old ladies in Shanghai have passed away due to illness.

But receiving the news of the sudden death of Uncle Jinxiang's daughter-in-law still makes Song Wan very sad.

This Uncle Jinxiang's eldest daughter-in-law is only five or six years older than her. When she was not out of the court, she even went to the Song Mansion to give her lanterns. Although the two of them are not familiar with each other, they still have some friendship.

So after receiving the news, Song Wan hastily ordered the mother-in-law in the mansion to prepare for the road sacrifice and other matters.

"Grandma is busy? Can Yue'er help?"

Lin Jiayue walked in with a plate of mixed fruits and ice cream with a smile, and put the things in front of Song Wan. She said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was busy to say goodbye to my third sister. Although this family doesn't have blue The family is wealthy, but they come from a serious official family, and their family status is much higher than that of the Lan family."

"I don't know which house Aunt Lin mentioned for the third sister?"

Song Wan didn't even raise his head, and asked a perfunctory question to Lin Jiayue.

Jiang Jing's marriage with Lan's family fell through, and she refused to find a husband's family for Jiang Jing again, so the matter fell on Mother Jiang.But Jiang's mother is still sick now, and she has to help the mansion hide from Mrs. Jiang that Jiang Xingjian went to Shanglinyuan prison, how can she still have the time to manage a concubine girl?

Hearing that Song Wan didn't care, she directly left the matter to Lin Jiayue.

Although Jiang's mother didn't want to see her, since Song Wan contradicted herself in Jiangxiangyuan that day, she felt a little angry in her heart.Now he intends to praise an aunt, and also wants to beat Song Wan to let her know who is in charge in this house.

Although Jiang Xingjian was dissatisfied with Lin Jiayue's handling of this matter, how could he, a foreigner, manage Jiang Jing's marriage?In desperation, she could only repeatedly tell Lin Jiayue to be careful in everything, and ask Song Wan more about things she didn't understand.

It was this sentence that made Lin Jiayue hesitate for a long time.

But she didn't do the previous few things well, and felt that she was at a loss, so she could only agree to it.

But in front of Song Wan, she couldn't lower her head.

"It's Mr. Chen's residence, a scholar of Zhan Shifu. His son is only three years older than the third sister. His age and family background are commensurate with the third sister. What do you think?"

The Chen family...

Song Wan frowned upon hearing this.

The Chen family is quite well-known in the capital, and the family style is still good, and they have always followed the path of direct ministers, which is not bad in the first place.

But in Mr. Chen's generation, it's not so easy to say.

Master Chen and Song Wan are not familiar with it, but Mrs. Chen knows a thing or two.

One year, on Song's mother's birthday, Madam Chen came to Song's mansion as a guest, and took a set of golden Ruyi ornaments from the mansion.That Jin Ruyi is not big, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite. It is said that the uncle of the Su family bought it from Ryukyu at a high price.It was only on the occasion of Mother Song's birthday to set up a scene for the guests to see and see, but he didn't want the guests to disperse and throw away their things.

After a long time, her little uncle found it in a pawnshop in Shangjing, and asked someone to inquire for many days, only to find out that it was Mrs. Chen who took it as a pawn.

After all, the Song family had no choice but to suffer from being dumb for not catching the thief with their own hands.

Song Wan remembered it for so long because Song's mother couldn't pay the money at that time, she cried for half a month, and finally her father took out the money from the public to make it up.

Mrs. Chen is greedy, and after many investigations by Song's mother, she found out that she was used to opportunism, not only her hands and feet were not clean, but also gathered a group of people to put usury in Beijing. Although she did it secretly, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. I have heard.

It was too late for ordinary people to hide from such a family, but Lin Jiayue did not know how to get involved.

Putting down the pen, Song Wan said: "Have you found out the character of the Chen family?"

"of course."

Lin Jiayue pursed her lips and smiled brightly: "Mrs. Chen is a big guest of Huanyan Zhai. She has a bright and cheerful personality. We hit each other like old friends when we first saw each other. The third sister will definitely not be treated badly when she marries into the Chen residence."

"If you are worried, you can also meet Mrs. Chen in person when she comes to the mansion. It just so happens that I have asked her to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers in the future."

"It's just that I don't know if you're used to looking at such a free and easy person. After all, you... Suxi is hypocritical."

With one foot on the scorpion, Lin Jiayue half leaned on the doorpost and looked at Song Wan with a chuckle.

I don't know why, but she just doesn't like the other party's high-ranking, fake-looking demeanor.

Song Wan is perfect, but this kind of perfection disgusts her.

She is also very dignified, so dignified that every step she takes is the same, as precise as being measured.

She never lost her composure, and Lin Jiayue had never seen Song Wan lose control of her emotions.Her husband, who had been widowed for six years, brought back his beloved, and she was expressionless.She is very affectionate with Jiang Xingjian, and she is also expressionless.

Even when Jiang's mother, Jiang Xingjian, ignored her and insulted her, she still did not respond like a piece of wood.

This kind of false and quiet dignity, this kind of haughty posture that everyone thought was a lady's demeanor, only made her feel sick.

Just as she said now, "you can find out clearly", she can easily arouse people's anger.

This posture, as if Lin Jiayue was born shorter than Song Wan, made people uncomfortable.

"It's good for you to find out clearly."

Lin Jiayue sneered: "I thought you would say that the Chen Mansion is not good. After all, you categorically said that you would no longer visit your husband's house for the sake of the third younger sister. It seems that you can't function without the Hou Mansion."

Song Wan raised her eyes, seeing Lin Jiayue's unruly demeanor, she frowned slightly.

Then he lowered his head and saw the essay he had written for Uncle Jinxiang's daughter-in-law, Song Wan suddenly had an idea.

She ignored Lin Jiayue and went on with her own affairs, not paying attention to Lin Jiayue's provocation at all.But the more it was like this, the more angry Lin Jiayue became, biting her lip for a while secretly angry.

After Song Wan finished writing, Fang Zhi picked up the euphemism, dried it, folded it, and put it in a white slip.

"Send these two posts to the ceremony room, and then give the items needed for this road festival to Mrs. Liang, and let people arrange according to the above."

"You want me to run errands?"

Song Wan pinched the post in her hand and said with a faint smile, "You seem to have never figured out the facts."

"No matter if you are backed by Concubine Jiang or Lord Hou, you can only be domineering and arrogant in front of the servants of the Hou family."

"Out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, you will always be that promiscuous concubine who can't get on the stage and then has sex with others."

"Today you can say goodbye to the third younger sister, not because you are outstanding, but because I am impatient with this matter, so what can you be proud of?"

"Regardless of whether it's a birthday or a funeral, invitations from Beppu can only be sent to me, and I will respond on behalf of the Marquis Mansion, and you don't even have the qualifications to take a look, let alone participate in these things."

"It seems that the scenery is boundless, but in fact it is just an illusion. It is really pathetic that you have been putting money on your face all day long and weaving yellow beams of dreams."

Song Wan's tone was gentle and indifferent, and she could not tell that she was angry at all.The calmness and indifference seemed to be stating a trivial matter, but it was enough to break Lin Jiayue's army.

That's it, in front of Song Wan, no matter how she behaves, she will be set off like a clown in the end.

The blood on her face instantly faded to the soles of her feet, Lin Jiayue felt her back was icy cold, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her, and she was so cold that she wanted to overturn the table in front of her and tear off the mask of calm on Song Wan's face .

But she can't, the more she loses control and goes crazy, the more she looks like a joke.

Forcibly suppressing the rage in her chest, Lin Jiayue took away the name card from Song Wan's hand with a fake smile: "Okay, I'll deliver it for you."

Seeing her turn and leave, Song Wan said to Heng Zhi who was beside him: "Find someone to keep an eye on the ceremony room to see when Lin Jiayue is going to deliver the eulogy. Is there anyone else among them? And what day is the Road Festival held?" , In addition, explore what regulations are prepared for mourning in the road sacrifice post sent by you."
