Chapter 287

Sure enough, not long after the news came out, people came to visit Prince Ning in an endless stream like crucian carp crossing the river.

Zheng Quan told Song Jiyun: "They were all begging King Ning to borrow money. King Ning was so angry that he had already whipped several people. But there were still some people who were not afraid of death and knelt in front of King Ning's ship and refused to leave, and some people stood directly in front of his ship. Jumped into the river."

He also said with emotion: "Young Master Yuan is still great - no one dared to trouble Prince Ning in the past, but Young Master Yuan sent a memorial and trapped Prince Ning here. Everyone guessed that the emperor was going to deal with him, and he himself probably also It’s only with a guilty conscience that they don’t dare to kill people as often as before, so these people dare to jump around in front of him.”

Of course, the Changjiang River that can be used as a dock is full of boatmen who are good at water or people who make a living by the river. Most of them are good at water. If someone jumps into the river, someone will rescue them no matter what.

Song Jiyun smiled and said, "Isn't everyone watching his excitement?"

"Not only that." Zheng Quan said with a smile, "There are also those meddling people who made up jingles and limericks. However, no one dared to say anything in front of Prince Ning's house, so they all spread it quietly in private."

While the two were talking, Shao Qingsheng came over helplessly. He took a plate of fortune cakes and said, "Boss Song, our young master said it's delicious, so I want you to try it too."

However, he had already run three times in the morning.

When Yuan Yunzhong and Xu Guangzeng go to meet the people at Yushitai, County Magistrate Jiang will entertain them at Xiling Villa. There are more delicious and fun things there, and he will not want them all at that time. Then, run here from Xiling Villa again and again, right?

Running errands doesn't matter, the main thing is that after he leaves, what will happen to the defense around the young master?

Song Jiyun's face felt slightly hot.

Yuan Yunzhong is very busy these days, but no matter what delicious or fun things he sees, he has to ask someone to bring her a piece without telling her. When he comes back in the evening, no matter how early or late he is, he must say a few words to her anyway. talk. Sometimes they just talk about what each other has done. Even if it is the most ordinary weather change, they can talk for two hours.

"Thank you very much!" She hurriedly let the hairpin take the dish and told Shao Qing, "Go and tell the young master that everything is fine here and let him not worry about it. I will go and see those burning people later. The whereabouts of the new blue and white porcelain kilns and workshops are uncertain. I will tell him in detail when I come back in the evening."

Shao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "This fortune cake is very delicious, but we also eat this blessing cake during the Chinese New Year. Is it necessary to send you a plate? Besides, this thing is only in Jingdezhen." There are some for sale, but they’re not as fresh as this.”

He has always been relaxed in front of Song Jiyun, and seems to be quite straightforward.

Song Jiyun smiled sheepishly.

She couldn't say that giving things away was secondary. The main thing was that they cared about each other.

"Go and do your business!" Song Jiyun had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Have you packed everything for your return to the capital? If you are free, I would like to chat with you. I want to know what the Yuan family has. Who are the elders? What is their temperament? I will also prepare some earthly rituals for you to take back."

Now that she is ready to intervene in Yuan Yunzhong's life, she will treat human relations as a public relations exercise.

As Xu Guangzeng said, the elders of the Yuan family still don't know what their attitude is towards their marriage.

Although she wouldn't embarrass herself over this, she didn't have to leave it all to Yuan Yunzhong.

Shao Qing was a little busy and pushed a boy to her: "My name is Wang Hua. Like me, he is also a son of the family and works as a servant in Jinyiwei. This time when the young master came out, he was sent by the old man. His ancestors all worked in the Wang family as stewards. Or the housekeeper, you can ask him about these things for sure."

Song Jiyun took a look and found out that he was the one who ordered people to take Mr. Wan out that day.

No wonder he is so bold.

Wang Hua didn't know whether he saw something or had ulterior motives. Song Jiyun answered whatever he asked, telling everything he knew.

"The old man accompanied the late emperor on hunting trips in the north. He has a son and a daughter. The eldest man lived in Jingtai for four years. He suddenly died of illness and left no children."

"The old lady originally wanted to find a son-in-law. Who knew that my wife would like me, and he is the only son in the family."

"The master promised to adopt a son to the eldest master after marriage and inherit the eldest master's incense. He also moved many people to come forward to make peace. The old master then nodded and married his wife to the master."

"Who knew that Madam only gave birth to a son after getting married?"

"After the old man became an official, he felt empty at his knees, so he took the young master to teach him."

"The master also has a cousin. He gave birth to three sons there. Now they are all officials in the court."

"The heirs of both families are not prosperous. Although they have three names, they are closer than ordinary cousins. The young master followed the three Yuan masters in succession. He is called the fourth young master."

"Mrs. Wang's temper is a bit irritable, but she has a kind heart. None of us who serve closely are better than her."

"The eldest lady in that house is a virtuous and kind-hearted person. No one who has dealt with her can say anything bad about her. Not to mention, she treats our young master as his own son."

"Several young ladies are either the daughters of Mr. Yuan's colleagues over there or girls who are friends of the Yuan family. Among them, the eldest young lady and the third young lady are cousins. They are all good-tempered, easy to deal with, and not picky. Miss Song will like whatever she gives her. Yes, just prepare according to your heart."

Song Jiyun had never been clear about Yuan Yunzhong's order before, but now that he had figured it out, he didn't expect that his family was an only child for two generations.

This is comparable to a widow's adopted son. Not many are willing to let go.

She knew Yuan Yunzhong was a trap!

But she has fallen into the trap, what can she do?

On the contrary, Song Jiyun felt as if he had encountered a challenge in the social scene.

She enthusiastically prepared earthen rituals for the Yuan family.

However, the eldest wife Wang came to the door with her two daughters Song Mei and Song Xing.

"Yunduo, you have to save your cousin Tao!" She came here accompanied by Mrs. Qian. The mother and daughter's eyes were as red and swollen as peach from crying. When they met Song Jiyun, they had to hug her and cry. It was still Mother Zheng. Grandma quickly blocked her eyes and stopped her tears from falling on her body, "That Song Ren kidnapped and sold your cousin Tao! Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Seeing that you and your cousin Tao are an old man. For the sake of our ancestors, you must lock up Song Ren this time and give him thirty, no, fifty beatings and exile him for three thousand miles."

Song Jiyun ignored her and looked towards Qian.

Qian's expression was also quite solemn, and she said: "Wasn't A Tao released on bail a few days ago? The person who bailed her out was Song Ren. She didn't go home at that time, and neither did your eldest aunt and two cousins. I know the news about her. When I got the letter, I thought about how she could live outside as a young girl, all alone, and probably didn’t have much money. I thought about letting her live with your cousin Mei or your cousin Xing. some days.

“Who knew but she couldn’t be found anywhere.

"Someone saw her and Song Ren at Changjiang Pier, and they went to Song Ren. Who knew that Song Ren did not admit that he had met Song Tao.

"Your eldest aunt and two cousins ​​are worried that something has happened to A Tao, and they want to ask you for help.

"I saw that this was a big deal, so I came over with them."
