orrow money

Song Shutong didn't speak for a long time, and sweat oozed from her forehead. She really didn't know whether she should agree. If not, she would lose face.

No way!

If she agreed, she would not have enough money in her hand. She would either use her private house or ask her father for it. Neither is a good choice.

She couldn't help but look at Song Shuqi.

But see song Shuqi is looking out of the window, not even a corner of the eye to her, can let her ask song Shuqi, she can't do.

At this time, Yu Wenyue said, "if there is any difficulty for the second lady, forget it. I didn't say it."

The palace Chang Liu angry her one eye: "you are love to talk nonsense, two young ladies and we have no affection same sister, how can others invite us to have a meal?"

Yu Wenyue curled her mouth wrongly, took song Shuqi's arm and said, "well, I forget that the second lady is not Shuqi after all. If she is Shuqi, she must be

I will agree without saying a word. "

Song Shuqi looked at her helplessly: "you."

With these words, the onlookers looked at Song Shutong with strange eyes.

Even Shangguan Ao gave her a strange look.

Song Shutong can't stand Shangguan's arrogance to look down on her. She also knows that if she doesn't promise today, her face will be gone. She can only grit her teeth and harden her head and say, "what my sisters say, I don't want to."

Yu Wenyue glanced at her: "Oh? So, would you like to invite us to dinner? I didn't expect that the second lady was so kind to us. "

Song Shutong said with a stiff face: "you should take more care of me all the way, and I should treat you as well."

"I'm so moved." Yu Wenyue rubbed the corners of her eyes with affectation and said, "well, now everyone is a little tired. Go to clean up first. When you see the empress, you can fix the time for the treat."

Song Shuqi walked to her side, patted her on the shoulder and said, "that's troublesome for my sister. I'm a little tired. Go and have a rest."

After that, she went upstairs, followed by Yu Wenyue, and Gong shangliu went to song Shutong's side. She gave a little meal and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you, miss two."

"No harm." Song Shutong smiles indifferently, but in fact, she hates it very much

Song Shuqi, who has helped her out, doesn't look up to Shangguan until everyone is gone.

Aware of her eyes, Shangguan Ao gave a faint smile: "the second cousin's generous hand surprised me. I had something else to do, so I left first. Let's have a good rest."

Turn around and leave without hesitation.

Song Shutong did not expect to agree to bleeding, but got such a sentence, gas of a stomp.

…

"Miss, do you see that? The second young lady's face is very ugly. " As soon as Bichen entered the guest room, he couldn't help chirping: "it's really enjoyable,

She deserves to be fat. I'll see what she'll do then. "

Song Shuqi said with a smile: "if she wants it with her father now, she will be scolded, or she will use her private room. As long as she uses it, I will let her father know." Bi Chen smiles and says, "Miss, what do you think she will do? She has already answered and can't go back

"I'm a little curious." Song Shuqi pestered her chin and said slowly, "look at my two younger sisters. What will they do?"

Song Shuqi didn't wait too long. After washing, she sat at the table. Bichen made up for her and put on her last pair of earrings. Then the door was knocked.

Bi Chen went to open the door: "second miss?"

"Sister." Song Shutong raised her voice and called, "my sister has come to see you. I want to discuss something with you."

Song Shuqi's voice came from inside: "let the second young lady come in."

Bichen had to get out of the way, but chun'er was stopped by her and closed the door directly.

Song Shuqi looked at her with a smile: "what's the matter with my sister?"

Song Shutong got up and poured her a cup of tea. She gently pushed it over and said in a soft voice, "sister, I came to you because of something happened just now. My sister agreed to treat on impulse, but you know where I have so much money."

"Don't you say father loves you?" Song Shuqi pretended to be surprised“

I thought my father had given you a lot of money. How could he have no money? "

Song Shutong forced a smile: "sister, don't tease me, don't you know my situation? If I ask my father for it, I believe he will agree with me. But now we are in the capital, we are far away

Song Shuqi nodded: "does that sister want me to help?"

"Exactly." Song Shutong busily nodded and said, "sister, can you lend me some silver? When I get home, I will come with my father and give it back."

Song Shuqi hesitated: "this..."

Song Shutong quickly advised: "sister, you can help me, if I lose it

It's not good for you to kill people, is it? After all, we are all from the Song family. "

Song Shuqi pondered for a moment and said, "well, I can lend it to you, but..."

Song Shutong did not have time to surprise, hesitated: "what?"

"But you have to write an IOU." Song Shuqi said slowly, "it's not that I can't trust my sister, but that my own sisters have to settle accounts."

Song Shutong was dissatisfied, but she finally agreed, and did not dare to annoy her, so she had to bite her teeth and promise: "what my sister said is reasonable, I promise."

Song Shuqi hooked the corner of her lips, and then the two signed the note, which took the money to her.

After she left, Shangguan Ao sent someone to gather the girls downstairs and take them to the palace to see the queen. They had all packed up, so they went to the palace.

Enter the solemn palace, and finally enter the palace under the leadership of the leading eunuch

I went to Fengyi palace.

After all, song Shuqi had lived for two generations. She was very calm when she saw the empress, who was high and noble. She saluted and said, "I've seen the empress."

"I've seen the queen." Others wake up and salute. The queen raised her hand slightly and said, "all of you, get up. You've been working hard all the way. I feel sorry for you. There are a lot of beautiful sceneries in the capital. You can enjoy them."

Song Shutong wanted to show herself in front of the queen, so she rushed to reply, "thank you for your kindness, but it's my honor to be able to attend your banquet."

The queen glanced at her casually and asked, "which girls are you from?"

Song Sitong quickly said, "back to the empress, the daughter of the Song family, called Song Shutong, today, simultaneous interpreting the Queen's empress is as beautiful as the rumor."

The empress had been in the palace for many years. She heard too much flattery. She hated this kind of girl who was eager for quick success and instant benefits. She asked, "I remember that the Song family has two daughters in our palace. Are you the eldest daughter?"

Song Shutong slightly a Leng: "back to the empress, not."

The empress's face remained unchanged, but her tone was light: "the eldest daughter should answer my palace questions. It's disrespectful of you to do so, because you are still young,

They will not be investigated. Don't do it again next time. "

Being denounced in public, song Shutong's face turned white. She didn't dare to say anything. She knelt down in a hurry and pleaded guilty: "please forgive me. The daughter of the people knows that she is wrong."

The queen looked at her indifferently and said nothing, so she did not dare to get up.

Song Shuqi stepped forward and said, "she Mei is still young,

If you don't understand the rules of the palace, please don't blame the empress. "

"Are you the daughter of song's parents?" When the queen looked at her, she saw that her saluting posture was very standard, her face was respectful and calm, and she looked very stable. She could not help feeling satisfied.

"Huiniangniang, the daughter of the people, is named Shuqi of the Song Dynasty."

When the queen saw that she spoke simply, she asked and answered, but she was more and more satisfied: "come, give Miss Song and miss you a seat."

Different names lead to different attitudes.

Song Shuqi was surprised, but she was still calm and grateful.

The queen didn't ignore the others. She asked her name, Yu Wenyue

Some nervous way: "Niang Niang, attend palace boudoir banquet to need to prepare what?"

With a smile, the empress said in a warm voice, "you don't have to prepare anything. You just need to dress up well and don't have to be nervous. This is an exchange banquet held by our Palace on a whim."

Song Shuqi asked in a low voice, "can we perform talent?"

As soon as she reminded her, the queen remembered one thing: "our palace almost forgot about it. Do you need any musical instruments when you perform? This palace has to be prepared in advance. "

Song Shutong finally found the opportunity to say: "back to the empress, people want to konghou."

The queen slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "can you play konghou? It's a very difficult instrument. "

Song Shutong smiles with a trace of pride: "because min Nu's father likes to listen to konghou, min Nu has learned it specially. She is not proficient, but she knows something about it."

The queen looked up at her and then asked, "what about you

？ Do you have any instruments to play? " As soon as song Shuqi was about to speak, she was held by Gong shangliu. She lowered her voice and said, "don't talk. I have a plan."

Yu Wenyue and Lian ningya asked for their own musical instruments.

When the queen saw that song Shuqi and song Shuqi didn't speak, she thought they didn't like them

Ordinary musical instruments, then said: "I got some Western treasures a few days ago. Let me show you."

After that, a maid went down, but after a while, four eunuchs came in carrying the very large object.

There was also a black cloth on the object.

Song Shuqi couldn't see what it was, but she thought it was too big.

The empress took a sip of tea, twisted her handkerchief, pointed her lips and said, "it's also a musical instrument. It's a tribute from the West. Unfortunately, no one in the palace can play it."

Looking at it, Gong shangliu felt that he was familiar with it

She couldn't see the inside clearly and couldn't be sure.

When the queen saw that they all looked at each other and did not speak, she asked, "can any of you play? If someone can, you can play a piece for the palace. It's said that the sound of this thing is very beautiful. "

At this moment, the eunuch, with the Queen's sign, pulled the black cloth apart, and then the object half a person's height appeared in front of the man.

Song Shuqi is looking at the thing, then feel the sleeve was pulled, and then caught off guard was pulled up.

Just as she was about to ask, she saw that Gong shangliu winked at herself, and then she said in a loud voice: "Niang Niang, Shuqi can play this."
