The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 232
In the evening, Li Zhao went to Yusheng Residence again.

Newcomers usually stay in bed for three days in a row. Even if Song Qingyue quarrels and leaves the house, Li Zhao still has to abide by this unwritten rule.The battle for the throne has reached a fever pitch, and he has to consider the attitude of his uncle's family. This kind of thing cannot be acted on by emotion.

Ning Yueyao ate dinner alone, thinking that her cousin would not come tonight, but when she was about to go to bed, Li Zhao unexpectedly came!She was overjoyed, so she specially cleaned and washed it again, and even changed into Bing Dilian's water red apron.

After Naihe lay down on the bed, Li Zhao closed his eyes and fell asleep directly, as if he had no intention of further action.

"Cousin!" Ning Yueyao hugged Li Zhao's arm and pushed him, with a lot of resentment in her tone, her hand also slipped into the man's lapel, and Li Zhao firmly held her down.

He squeezed her wrist fiercely, his voice became hoarse and low because of fatigue: "Go to bed early today."

Ning Yueyao felt her heart pounding when she heard this, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Cousin, Yaoer, Yaoer likes you, and has liked you since she was a child. Cousin, did Yaoer upset you? You are not happy, you say, Yaoer will definitely change! Cousin, I am willing to be your side concubine, so you just love me, okay?"

She looked like she was about to cry, begging softly.

Li Zhao closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

Ning Yueyao was suddenly overwhelmed by great joy, she hugged her cousin's waist, almost weeping with joy.

"Cousin, you still love Yao'er, don't you?"

"What do you think?" He closed his eyes and asked her back, his voice was still so cold, but it was so cold that it was convincing and exciting.

Ning Yueyao has always liked the indifferent and arrogant appearance of her big cousin since she was a child.

It's sweet in my heart, my cousin won't hurt me!

"Cousin, Yao'er knew that she was wrong before, but Yao'er liked her cousin too much, and jealousy is inevitable in her heart, cousin, don't blame him, okay? The fourth brother has taught me a lesson, and Yao'er will definitely... ..."

She still wanted to say a few more words to her cousin, but Li Zhao interrupted her wearily: "The side concubine!"

"Yes...the concubine talks too much." Ning Yueyao softened her tone and looked at Li Zhao pitifully.

"What happened last night, I don't want to have a second time."

Ning Yueyao's eyelashes trembled violently, and her eyes stared at him in horror.

Li Zhao still closed his eyes, unwilling to look at her: "I know it was just an accident. You didn't mean it either. I've already sent someone to help you deal with the aftermath this morning, so you don't have to worry."

"Yes...thank you, cousin." Ning Yueyao trembled involuntarily.

Li Zhao let go of her arm, and continued: "I sent someone to the northeast to tell your father. Yueyao, even if you are a concubine, there is absolutely no reason to kill people for no reason. Do you understand? You are no longer a child. Now, your grandmother is getting older, you can't always count on your grandmother to take care of everything for you. Even if she is an old man, there will always be a day when she can't handle it. Isn't it?"

Ning Yueyao bit her lip, tears swirled in her staring eyes.

Cousin knows everything!

He knows everything!

Is he tired of himself?

No, no!
Hearing the subdued sobs, Li Zhao still didn't open his eyes, and his tone was still calm, but without any warmth: "Yaoer, cousin doesn't want to embarrass you, but people always have to pay for what they do. You are smart, you can do it yourself in the future."

After finishing speaking, he turned over, turned his back to her, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and let her cry behind him for another night without uttering another word of comfort.

In the eldest princess's mansion, because of Song Qingyue's arrival, Jiang Yuanchao went to sleep in his aunt's room.

Song Qingyue felt a little sorry for the second sister, Song Yuxi said indifferently: "Anyway, it's not convenient for me to go to bed now, by the way, I made Zhu Dan faceless."

Song Qingyue looked at the second sister in shock.

"Don't look at me like that, everyone will do that." Song Yuxi frowned and said, "Zhu Dan is handsome but not seductive, and has an honest temper. She can't read, and she can't talk to your brother-in-law."

Song Qingyue smiled wryly, thinking of her biological mother in this life, that Chun He, Aunt Chun.Wasn't Liang's criteria for choosing her as a housekeeper back then: honesty, stupidity, illiterate, and servility.

Since Song Qingyue got married and left the big greenhouse of the Song family, the longer she lived outside, the more she understood why Lu Xun used to write in his diary of a madman: Turning over the history, there are two words "eat people" written all over the book. Character.

She and her sisters all want to work hard to get rid of the fate of being eaten, but there are also some like the second sister who are forced to become a member of the cannibal.

Song Qingyue herself is not, isn't the few people in Jinxiu Pavilion just eaten?

Their lives were swallowed by the majestic gate of the palace from the moment they were carried into the palace.

Song Yuxi saw that her younger sister's expression turned dark suddenly, she took Song Qingyue's hand, and said earnestly, "It's not that the second sister wants you to be like us. I know that you have been different from others since you were a child, but you can't force others to do what you want. way of life. It is impossible for everyone to indulge you like Daddy!"

"I understand, Second Sister. I just want to come out to relax." Song Qingyue smiled, "I don't force others to live in my way. I don't want to force it. It's just that I need time to adapt myself."

"That's good. I know you are close to Meng Wanfeng, and it is inevitable that you will be influenced by her. But you have to understand that a man like Prince Jing is rare." Song Yuxi warned, "Since you are married, you can't As willful as when I was in my mother's house."

"I understand, second sister, I understand."

The more you understand, the more powerless you feel.

She looked at her hands, and suddenly had the feeling that she had just graduated from school, full of high spirits and ambitions, and was immediately beaten up by society.

In this era when women have to be judged by others when they go out in public, a woman can only do some business at most. No matter how much knowledge and skills she has, it can only be realized through men.

All the words used to describe a woman's beauty, such as virtuous and virtuous, thrifty, courteous, quiet and submissive, filial and conscientious, etc., almost none of the words are related to whether she is capable or intelligent.

Ha - take your time, Song Qingyue sighed.

The next day, Song Qingyue followed her second sister to visit His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess first.I heard that Jiang Yuanchao's elder brother is not in good health recently, so he wants to resign from his job and stay at home to recuperate.

Song Qingyue's intuition was not that she wanted to resign because of poor health, but because the current situation between the court and China was too tense, and he didn't want to be a target in the battle for the reserve position.

"The third girl of the Song family, come over to this palace to have a look." Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess waved Song Qingyue to her and looked at her carefully, "After all, you are a noble girl, you are much more mature than when I saw you last time."

"What a beauty." The eldest princess said sincerely, "It's nice to be young."

Song Yuxi's sister-in-law Tang also smiled and said, "That's right, I feel envious when I see her."

Song Qingyue smiled shyly, appearing very demure and dignified.

"By the way, why did Shi Zifei think of coming to stay here for a while?" Tang asked.

Song Qingyue said: "Don't worry about the second sister. I am busy on weekdays, so I can't always take care of my sister. She is pregnant again now. I saw her at the chess meeting last time. I always miss her, so I decided to come and stay for two days. .”

Tang said angrily: "There is nothing to worry about. Can our family still eat your sister?"

Song Qingyue waved her hand, and said in a coquettish tone: "Look at what you said, sister-in-law! We are all eldest daughters-in-law, don't you know how tired you are? The palace is much more crowded than the princess's palace, I just want to escape Come out and relax for two days."

The eldest princess smiled and shook her head, exchanged glances with Tang, and said, "You're still young after all, you're still a child at heart."

Tang asked again: "I heard that the imperial concubine is very favored. If you come out to live with your sister like this, does your highness agree?"

Song Qingyue replied: "There are many sisters in the palace, besides, Concubine Ning of Zhenbeihou's Mansion is also very popular with the prince. There is always someone who can take good care of His Highness. I will only be away for two days, and it is not impossible for him to survive."

After all, several people in the room finally laughed together.

Coming out of the eldest princess's room, Song Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but whispered to the second sister: "Does your sister-in-law think highly of you? Does she even look down on me?"

Song Yuxi said helplessly, "You and I are both born as concubines."

"Okay." Song Qingyue clicked her tongue.

"Don't mind it," Song Yuxi said with a smile, "The Tang family is a big family in Guanzhong, her father is the governor of Shanxi, her great-grandfather was once a prince and tutor, and deserves to enjoy the imperial temple, and her sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the family, so she is a bit arrogant, but there is no evil intention. "

"What's so great!" Song Qingyue hummed, "Second Sister, believe it or not, our father will also be able to enjoy the Taimiao in the future?"

"I believe!"

The sisters held hands and smiled at each other.

Song Qingyue said again: "By the way, Second Sister, I want to meet that Zhu Dan."

"Sure, I'll call her out."

Back in the main courtyard of the second room, Song Yuxi sent someone to call Zhu Dan.

Song Qingyue looked at the girl carefully, Zhu Dan looked naive, with a feeling of not being bright, but Song Qingyue always felt that the eyes she looked at her were a little too enthusiastic.

Song Yuxi waited for Zhu Dan to go out and whispered to Song Qingyue, "With an example like yours in front of you, there are so many little girls who want to be roommates, it's annoying."

Song Qingyue raised one eyebrow: "Do they think my aunt is living happily?"

Song Yuxi laughed and said, "Isn't it?"

Song Qingyue shook her head helplessly: "Whimsical."

Song Yuxi said: "I think so too, how many of you are like this in the world? How can each of you, without looking in the mirror, give birth to such outstanding children!"

Song Qingyue burst out laughing, and Song Yuxi said, "So I replaced several maids who were thoughtful and dishonest."

"No wonder." Song Qingyue looked at the maids in the room, many of them were unfamiliar faces.

At noon, Jiang Yuanchao's aunts came to visit Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue immediately put on the posture of the eldest concubine of the prince's mansion, sitting solemnly, with a sullen face, as if she wanted to support her second sister.

Seeing her icy eyes, several aunts felt chills down their spines. They stood like maidservants and waited on Song Yuxi for lunch, not daring to make any mistakes.

After they left, Song Qingyue slacked off, spread out on Luohan's bed in a shameless manner, and complained: "Look, I'm so tired, I finally left!"

Song Yuxi couldn't help but burst out laughing, covering her stomach, almost gasping, and reached out to pinch her face: "Third sister, you are so cute."

Lying on the couch, Song Qingyue smiled, and said very seriously: "Second sister, you must be careful these days, especially the few children in the mansion, if any of them accidentally knocked you, You have no place to reason. By the way, Mr. Jiang’s former Yue’s family didn’t make trouble for you, did they?”

"Why didn't you come here to make trouble! But I told my mother and father when I went home, and my father went to find my husband's ex-father-in-law for a drink, and it finally calmed down there." Song Yuxi raised her chin, a trace of complacency appeared on her face .

"Then I'm relieved." Song Qingyue laughed, it's great that her mother's family is strong!

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuanchao came back early.After entering the mansion, he went straight to Song Yuxi's courtyard.

When Song Qingyue saw her brother-in-law coming, she thought he was looking for her sister for something, and planned to avoid it, but she didn't expect Master Jiang to come to her.

"Concubine Shizi, actually, I have something to ask for your help."

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. I'm happy to help you."

Jiang Yuanchao spoke respectfully to him, and Song Qingyue was also very polite to him.

"Ahem." Jiang Yuanchao cleared his throat uncomfortably, avoiding his gaze.

He was a typical straight man in ancient times. When facing Song Qingyue, his body was stiff. This sister-in-law was so beautiful that even his voice was so soft that it made one's bones brittle.

It's not that Jiang Yuanchao has any crooked thoughts, it's just that he, a big man, asks such a delicate and beautiful lady for help, Jiang Yuanchao feels somewhat humiliated.

"It's like this. This matter has something to do with you. In the place where the Ministry of Households printed the Dazhou Baochao, it was found that several spare parts of the printing machines were missing. One of the accountants in the Ministry of Finance committed suicide, and a guard disappeared."

When Jiang Yuanchao said this, Song Qingyue stood up abruptly, and the blood on her face faded away in an instant.

Did this finally happen?
It's just that the whole printing press was lost at the beginning, but this time it's just some spare parts.Presumably, what she reminded Li Zhao had worked.

"When did it happen?" Song Qingyue asked eagerly.

"Last night." Jiang Yuanchao said, "It was also after June that the Ministry of Household Affairs strengthened the guards at the banknote printing office, so that it was able to find out that the spare parts of the printing machine were stolen in such a timely manner."

"I...my father and elder brother are alright?"

Song Chenxu ran between the Ministry of Industry and the Hanlin Academy. He was interested in water conservancy projects, while Song Chenhai had been steadily observing politics in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Song Qingyue was more worried about her elder brother.

"Father-in-law and brother-in-law are fine, Sanmei can rest assured." Jiang Yuanchao comforted, "We are looking for the missing guard across the country. I heard that the third sister is very good at drawing portraits, so I suddenly thought, can I ask San Sister draws the look of the guard."

"But, he has escaped, how can I draw?" Song Qingyue was dumbfounded.
