The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Song Qianning and Song Qianxue got up early today and prepared to go to the opera house with their third brother.

Song Qianxue wanted to eat the roasted grass jelly that she had been craving for, and today was the last day of the scene of Three Variations on the Plum Blossom, which meant that there would be a new scene after today. If she didn’t watch this one, she wouldn’t be able to watch the rest, so she couldn’t miss it.

Song Qianning had to explain the subsequent plot of "Three Variations on the Plum Blossom", as well as the completed manuscripts, which had to be handed over to the hairpin ladies and tailors.

As a result, just as the four of them were about to leave the door, they were stopped by Grandma and Jiang.

"Sister Xue, Sister Ning, you two are not allowed to go out..."

Song Qianxue was puzzled: "Why, Grandma?"

The old lady said in a tone that was for your own good: "You two are already engaged, so you shouldn't show up in public anymore..."

"Grandmother, mother, we are all sitting in the carriage. No one will see us. It's not considered showing our faces. At the very least, we can wear veils, right?"

Song Qianning really couldn't understand why women here had to live for the dignity of their husband's family after they got married, and why they had to obey their father at home and their husband after marriage, and even obey their sons after their husbands died.

Women are like accessories. If they are unlucky enough to become concubines, they can only live by relying on the fresh love and favor of men. Even if they give birth to children, the men can only call the mistress "mother".

Even if she is lucky enough to become the legal wife and the mistress, she is not that happy. Not only does she have to work hard to give birth to children, but she also has to manage the household for that stinky man. She also has to understand that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and she has to generously share her husband. The most disgusting thing is that she has to take care of and educate all the children her husband has with other women.

Although Song Qianning didn't like this feudal rule, she still explained it patiently.

Finally, the old lady said: "That won't work either. You two will be the prince's principal wives in the future. You must learn some etiquette and rules from the tutor as early as possible, so as not to be laughed at for violating the rules when you become the principal wives in the future..."

Song Qianning suddenly thought of the dinner last night, where the future Crown Princess was criticized for being useless and had to reflect on herself for not doing well enough. Sigh! She once again despised this old-fashioned world.

Jiang didn't wait for Song Qianning to say anything, she continued her mother-in-law's words and added: "Ning'er, your grandmother is right. In the future, you two will be the principal wives. When you leave the palace with the prince and set up your own residence, you will be the mistress of this residence, so now you should seriously learn how to manage the affairs of the harem."

Song Qianxue struggled desperately: "Mother, can we start learning tomorrow?"

Song Qianning nodded frantically, but the old lady and Jiang both shook their heads...

Song Qianning felt terrible. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, so she said in embarrassment: "What should we do, Grandmother? Last night, the Fourth Prince said that he and the Second Prince would go to the opera house today, and asked the two of us to go watch the show together. That's why we have to leave so early, because we are afraid that the Fourth Prince will wait for us, right? Big sister..."

"Ah? Oh! That's right! Grandmother, mother, this is the first time the prince has invited us. It would be bad if we go too late!"

Song Qianxue reacted and immediately got into the role. When the old lady heard that it was the prince who invited them, she immediately asked them to go quickly to avoid making the prince wait for too long.

Song Qianxue immediately took her third sister's hand and quickly climbed onto the carriage, for she was afraid that if she was too slow, her third sister would be exposed and heard, which would then be in trouble for both of them.

The two people who got on the carriage patted their chests. What a close call! They almost couldn't get out.

Song Qianyu looked at the two of them and said sourly: "It's different now that you're about to become the queen. You still have to learn the rules. It's not like me. I don't have the chance to learn even if I want to..."

Song Qianning felt that this guy must be out of his mind as he was so eager to learn the rules.

"How about I ask grandma to take you with her when she asks us to learn the rules? You will be looking for a husband in the future anyway, so we will tell grandma that you really want to learn all the rules and etiquette..."

Song Qianxue became even more excited when she heard this. She said, "That's right! Second sister, we will definitely tell grandma. If we don't let you learn, you will be sad to death..."

Song Qianyu was furious. Since there was no prince to marry her, she didn't want to learn that crap. She said, "Who is your second sister? You fake..."

If this had been said before, Song Qianxue might have been upset, but after learning from her third sister that Song Qianyu was also not a child of the Marquis' Mansion, she now felt that Song Qianyu was just mocking the pot calling the kettle black. They were all the same, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

"Song Qianyu, are you itching for trouble again? I'm a fake, and you may not be the real deal..."

Song Qianyu didn't expect Song Qianxue to say this. What did she mean? Did she know something? No, no.

Song Qianyu pretended to be calm and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I... I... I am the real lady of the Marquis' Mansion, unlike you..."

Song Qianning smiled at her guilty look. As expected... she herself knew about it. She didn't know if she would choose the Marquis' Mansion or the Prince's Mansion when she found out that Aunt Mu originally exchanged her own child for the concubine's daughter of Prince Huai?

However, if she had chosen the Prince Huai's Mansion, then her fate would have been her own choice. After all, the Taoist priest had been kind enough to give her a way out.

Song Qianning didn't expect that this Taoist priest was so powerful. He could even see through the secret that Song Qianyu had hidden in her heart. He was kind enough to point out a clear way for her. However, she didn't know what choice Song Qianyu would make at that time.

When the four of them arrived at the opera house, Song Qianning and Song Qianxue put on their veils. Song Qianning praised the third brother and said, "Not bad! Third brother, you have managed this opera house so well by yourself. What I didn't expect the most is that you actually sold all the Luozidai we made at the beginning, and you really sold them at the price of 12,000 taels per piece. How did you do it?"

Song Qianning didn't expect that there would be a fool to buy at this price, and all of them were sold out. It was incredible. She was beginning to wonder if this third brother had some kind of koi physique? ?

Song Chengyi scratched his head. He didn't expect to sell them all. He said: "It's nothing. I just added to your gift conditions at the beginning. You can get handmade soap and a customized perfume ten times a month. I asked a carpenter to carve ten sets of exquisite patterns on the handmade soap. The soap is only for those who buy Luozidai. You can choose one style at a time. Then, you can save 200 taels when paying the entrance fee once a month. As a result, it was sold out in three days. I didn't expect it..."

Song Qianning gave her third brother a thumbs up and said, "That's awesome! Third brother, you learned everything on your own! From now on, I will rely on you to support my sister..."

"Me too, Third Brother. I'll be counting on you from now on..."

Song Chengyi wanted to say that the two of them were shareholders of the opera house and they would definitely not be given less money to spend, but he was interrupted by the voice behind him.

"Qian Ning, from now on my money is your money, you don't have to worry about no one to support you..."

"Don't worry! With my fourth brother and I here, you two sisters won't have to worry about having no money to spend in the future..."

Everyone turned around and found that it was the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince. Song Qianxue and Song Qianning looked at each other, with only one message in their eyes - why did these two come to the opera house?

Song Qianxue originally planned to have someone send some food and drinks to the second floor as the first thing she did when she arrived at the opera house. After enjoying Lingxi's performance, she would go to the third floor to watch the show.

I haven't even climbed the stairs yet! Why are these two big Buddhas here?

Song Chengyi didn't understand what his two sisters were thinking. He bowed to the princes and said, "At first, grandma didn't let them come out! Fortunately, they explained to grandma that you had made an appointment last night and were going to meet the two princes today. Grandma agreed. We just arrived and you, the fourth prince, are here. It's just right!"

The fourth prince smiled and asked Song Qianning: "You said we should meet here?"

Seeing the unnatural expressions of the two, the Second Prince understood immediately and asked Song Qianxue in a puzzled manner: "I invited you to meet here last night?"
