The next day, after breakfast, Song Jinxiu was sorting out the information collected by treasure hunter Junjun.
Under the effect of Kailingdan, Junjun has trained an animal team.
There are twenty or thirty animals that have evolved with the Kailing Pill. They can understand Junjun's commands and can communicate in simple terms.
Yingchun came in and said, "Miss, the old lady and the master of Dongyuan are here."
In order to distinguish Zhang Zihan from Song Sanzhu, the maids in the mansion all called Zhang Zihan "Master Dongyuan".
"Okay, let them in."
The backyard of the Princess's Mansion is actually divided into three courtyards.
Tian Xinghua moved to the Princess's Mansion, and Song Jinxiu gave them a small courtyard to the east of the Mansion to live in, just like when they lived in the villa.
With an independent courtyard, Zhang Zihan and his mother can live more freely in the princess's mansion.
That courtyard has a corner gate, which also makes it convenient for Zhang Zihan to enter and exit the Princess's Mansion freely.
Jinfang lives in the big courtyard in the middle.
The small courtyard to the west was home to Aunt Cuihua, Second Aunt, and Aunt Huozi, and they also had a small door for free entry and exit, making it convenient for them to do their shopping.
Living in the front yard are the scumbag father, Xuan Zhenzi, Fang Ziyu, Xiao Qiu Sheng and others.
The other uncles and brothers still stayed in the other courtyard.
The main courtyard on the second floor naturally belongs to Song Jinxiu.
Knowing Song Jinxiu's temper, Zhang's mother said straight to the point: "Xiu, we all know the rumors in the capital."
Song Jinxiu frowned, "My mother also knows?"
Zhang's mother quickly waved her hands, "How dare we let her know? Your mother is very worried, so we kept it a secret from her."
Heavy-hearted?
Tian Xinghua has always been very concerned about her remarriage, fearing that it would have a bad influence on her children. She is also pregnant, so she rarely goes out.
People in the capital knew about my mother's remarriage because of my scumbag father's disappearance, which was spread by someone with ulterior motives.
Zhang Zihan thought for a moment and said, "There are so many people in the Princess's Mansion, and I'm afraid I can't keep it secret."
The mother and son looked at each other, and Zhang Zihan sighed and said, "I've discussed it with my mother, and we want to move out."
Song Jinxiu nodded and took out a deed from the drawer.
"I've already bought the house next door. Have someone clean it up and open a small door between the two houses to make it easier to move around."
Zhang Zihan held the contract, feeling a bit amused and helpless. What's the difference between living next door and living in the mansion?
There is even a small door in the middle, aren’t they still a family?
Song Jinxiu looked at his expression, frowned, and asked, "Why? Do you want to buy a yard for yourself to live in? After you graduate from high school, you can take in a concubine or a maid?"
Zhang Zihan was about to nod when he heard Song Jinxiu's next words and stood up in shock.
"What are you talking about? Our Song family has clan rules. How could I possibly take a concubine?"
"Princess, don't provoke me with words. I am not an ungrateful person. I eat your food, wear your clothes, and you also gave me the learning resources.
Although I'm not a son-in-law, this is no different from marrying into the family. I'm a son-in-law, and I don't stay with your mother. Why would I go find a concubine when I'm full?"
He said seriously:
"Jinxiu, I swear on my reputation as a scholar that I really love your mother, and I will always be your mother in this life.
Now your mother is pregnant, whether it's a girl or a son, my Zhang family will have an heir. So stop trying to pressure me."
Just kidding, he has been watching his stepdaughter's tricks silently these days.
That was really killing without spilling any blood, and this girl has no taboos.
So we have to explain it clearly, without any misunderstanding. He still wants to live a good life!
Otherwise, his wife and children might be snatched away, and he and his mother would be kicked out of the house.
Don't think he doesn't know. Song Sanzhu has been running around these days, saying that his wife is a chaste and heroic woman, and that all the faults are his. He was the one who forced her to remarry.
What does he mean? Want to reconcile? No way!
Song Sanzhu: Bah, if it wasn't to please my daughter, would I destroy my reputation like this? And I don't care about your wife either, there's no such thing as a good woman.
Zhang's mother was also shocked.
She met a fellow villager these two days and chatted with him for a while. She sighed and said that her family was so poor that they could not even make ends meet, so she found a woman for her son who was married and had children.
Fellow villagers said: When they fled the famine, they were blessed by God to be alive. It was not easy for them, orphans and widows, to marry and have children.
Later, when I heard that his son was preparing for the imperial examination, he said: When Bangchui passes the exam, if you really feel wronged, you can take a virgin as a concubine or a maid.
But these words were said by her fellow villagers, and she didn't say a word.
She didn't even dare mention her identity as a daughter-in-law. After all, the rumors about her daughter-in-law had been circulating in the capital for the past two days. Was she going to show off her step-granddaughter status? Or would she make a fool of herself?
Zhang's mother also hurriedly said: "Jinxiu, don't worry, I am not an ungrateful person. If I hadn't married your mother, we would still be starving in Toad Village!"
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I just said it casually. Okay, uncle, you should just focus on preparing for the exam. Leave these trivial matters to Aunt Chang."
As she spoke, she took out another stack of documents and said, "This was annotated by Prime Minister Wei. He was the top scholar back then."
Zhang Zihan took the information and left with Zhang's mother, walking to a deserted place.
Zhang Zihan frowned, "Originally I was thinking of buying a small courtyard, so that our family can live behind closed doors and Xinghua can have some peace and quiet.
But now it seems impossible. We live next door, and the two families come and go frequently. I'm afraid she'll get wind of it and won't be able to handle it. Why don't we tell her ourselves?"
Mother Zhang said, "Son, Xinghua is a very worried person. She's already bothered about remarrying. It's best not to let her know about this rumor. I'm afraid she might have a miscarriage."
Zhang Zihan shook his head. "This matter was originally intentionally targeted at Princess Kangle. Since it was intentional, it was inevitable that someone would deliberately bring it up in front of her mother."
He emphasized the pronunciation of "intentionally".
"That's why I thought we should tell her in advance so she can be mentally prepared. Mom, please spend more time with her these few days."
"I know." Zhang's mother nodded.
Zhang's mother was also very depressed. Her daughter-in-law was very capable, but as a mother-in-law, she didn't dare to put on airs. She didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of her daughter-in-law.
Zhang's mother looked up at the sky and said: Think about it, it was difficult to get enough food before, and she would be extremely happy if she could eat white flour occasionally.
I eat meat every day, but I still feel so worried and unsatisfied.
Could it be that I am the greedy person that my son described?
The mother and daughter discussed how to explain the matter in a way that would cause the least harm to Tian Xinghua.
Song Sanzhu peeked in front of the eldest girl's door.
After coming back from outside, he was left aside. He didn't know what the eldest girl was thinking. If she wanted to kill him, she should at least give him a final decision. This made him unable to sleep well at night. He dreamed of the cold smell of Tongshui River.
There was a fruit basket on Song Jinxiu's desk. Treasure-hunting rat Junjun was lying in it with his legs crossed. He asked Song Jinxiu to hang a bunch of grapes on the handle of the basket. Then he tilted his face up, put his mouth close to the basket and bit the grapes one by one.
The contented little Junjun looked at Song Sanzhu who was peeking out of his mind and thought he was playing hide-and-seek with her. So she also played the game of "hide-in-the-eyes" with him under the cover of the basket.
Song Jinxiu knocked Xiao Junjun's head in a funny way, then rushed to the door and said, "Come in."
