Wife Kim An

Chapter 56

The Emperor Taijun's Longevity Banquet was very successful, and the Empress was so happy that she rewarded the new plaque of Yuexing Building, praising it as the first building in the world.

The business of Yuexing Tower continued to flow, Song Xiao handed it over to Lin Ruyan, and he was happy to recuperate at home.Lin Ruyan became more and more sensible, she learned from her sister to help with management, and studied hard under the guidance of Ke Lixin.In her spare time, Ke Lixin also goes to Yuexing Building to hang out and help out.More time to prepare for the imperial examination next spring, and decided to live up to Song Xiao's wishes, and must be named on the gold list.

Lorraine's embroidery skills are excellent, especially the double-sided embroidery, which is exquisite in workmanship.Song Xiao loves money eagerly, and arranges him to work in the clothing pavilion in the Song Family's Phoenix City.Last time, all the faded fabrics in Lingzhou had been transferred to Phoenix City. After Song Xiao's instructions, they were dyed step by step, and there was no fading.

Dong Mu's clothes are very beautiful, but the patterns on them are extremely simple.Song Xiao and Su Ye designed a variety of blueprints based on the memories of their previous lives, and Luo Lan became a master, teaching some young people how to make embroidery more exquisite.Su Ye was bored, so he listened to the class and learned by hand.Don't look at his dexterous cooking and embroidery, he is in a hurry.

Su Ye struggled for a week, and finally made a pair of peace talismans. Although it was a little ugly, it was the first time after all, and it was to pray for safety.After he put his own on, he came to Song Xiao with great interest, and under her dazed gaze, he happily untied the small sachet that Song Xiao had been wearing around his waist, and gave her the peace talisman Putting it on, he said earnestly, "Song Xiao, don't have any more accidents... If you die, I won't have a place to eat or live..." At that time, he was really worried about being poisoned.Now that I think about it, traveling to ancient times is really not a good thing...

Song Xiao was speechless.

Su Ye played with the small sachet in his hand, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Isn't this what Ziyan gave you back then? Why do you still keep it?"

Song Xiao blushed and her eyes flickered: "Didn't you forget to throw it away..."

Su Ye pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that you like Ziyan, she is now Miss Li's concubine."

Song Xiao knocked on his head and rolled his eyes: "You think too much."

"Then... did Shen Junyi give you anything recently?" Su Ye had a gossipy face.

Song Xiao looked puzzled, but Su Ye hesitated, and finally sighed. Before leaving, the ecstasy in his eyes was "you can ask for more blessings"...

A few days ago, Ziyan became Li Xiangran's concubine and was taken into Li's residence by Li Xiangran.The whole scene was a sensation in Phoenix.Because Mrs. Li, who is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was furious, she almost severed ties with Li Xiangran and kicked her and Ziyan out of the house.

Later, Li Xiangran vowed that she would completely change herself, enter the officialdom like her elder sister, work for Dongmu, and win glory for Li's family.Mrs. Li reluctantly let Ziyan in, and arranged him in the most remote corner of Li's residence, out of sight and out of sight.Even Mrs. Li sternly warned Li Xiangran that if she fails the imperial examination next year, not only will Ziyan not be able to become her concubine, but she will have to pack up and leave!
Li Xiangran is suffering now, in order to see the beauty, in order to make the beauty truly his own.She studied desperately, and she stopped entering those romantic places, and bet wholeheartedly on next year's imperial examination.It was very difficult for Song Xiao to ask her out.

Song Xiao knew that Li Xiangran didn't like officialdom, and even hated it, so he used to pretend to be a dude in order to avoid such a fate.Now, in order to marry the man he loves, he would go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of ​​flames without hesitation.

One day, Song Xiao ran into Li Xiangran by chance and asked her how she was doing.She said: "I don't want to marry Ziyan as a concubine, I want to marry Ziyan as a gentleman. Xiaoxiao, my mother still doesn't accept Ziyan, but I don't know how good he is. I believe that time can change everything. And I will work harder and work harder for our tomorrow!"

Whether Zi Yanxi likes Li Xiangran or not, it is difficult for Song Xiao to be sure, but maybe one day, he will really be moved by Li Xiangran's infatuation.

Song Xiao smiled and said, "I bless you all."

Yige's service was very popular, and it aroused the favor of young ladies and gentlemen in Phoenix City, making them highly sought after.The Song family gradually regained their former reputation, and their career was booming.

Song Xiao's reputation once again started, and in people's eyes, she gradually broke away from the reputation of a playful young lady, and became a talented woman.

Song Xiao has only one Zhengjun by his side, and a disfigured boy who was once Chuan Xiangyuan.Gradually, many people heard that Song Xiao and Shen Junyi were in harmony, and immediately attracted the attention of Song Xiao's concubine.The person who proposed the marriage almost ruined the Song family's family status, and Song Xiao, who was caught going out, tried to introduce how gentle and considerate his son was.Apparently, everyone took the fact that Miss Song was beaten up by her husband and couldn't get out of bed seriously, and tried their best to make their son gentle and gentle, hoping to win Song Xiao's favor and compare Shen Junyi.

When Song Xiao went out, she was also enthusiastically sought after by the princes, comparable to the time when the second princess visited Fengcheng Street and was warmly received by the pouch, sachet and garland.

No, she walked into the room with a wry smile holding a pile of pouches and sachets.

"Junyi, what are you looking at?" Song Xiao saw that Shen Junyi's expression was so focused that she didn't even notice that she entered the door, so she approached quietly in surprise.Unexpectedly, Shen Junyi hid his things behind his back in a panic, with suspicious sweat stains still sliding down his forehead.

He stuttered slightly and said, "You, you're back." As he spoke, his gaze flicked across the things in Song Xiao's hands.

Song Xiao looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly said in surprise: "Could it be that you read the account book again?"

Some time ago, Shen Junyi was unwell, but still had to go to Yuexing Building, Song Xiao forcefully kept him in the room to raise him.Unexpectedly, this kid was completely restless and busy at home.

At this time, in early August, accounts from various places in July came in one after another.Due to the unified planning of the ledgers, although the number is large, it is much easier to check the ledgers than usual.So, Shen Junyi silently took the account book from her mother, and reconciled it before she knew it.

If she hadn't met her mother just now, she wouldn't know it!
"I..." Shen Junyi paused for a moment, stretched out his left hand and moved a certain ledger on the table forward, "Yizhou Grain Industry purchased most of the grain at the end of June, showing a loss is understandable. But it still lost money in July , makes me puzzled. There is also Nianchuan Grain Industry, which is also losing money."

Song Xiao tapped Shen Junyi's head lightly, and complained: "Let you rest, you really looked at the account book again."

She put down the things in her hands, picked up the ledger on the table, and while flipping through it, she said: "Last time, I felt that there was a problem with Yizhou Grain Industry, and I explained why the loss was due to the purchase at the end of the month. It didn’t sell, and I don’t know if it was greed for money, the price was set too high, or some other reason... Why is Nianchuan’s grain industry now having problems. Do you think there is any connection between the two? "

Shen Junyi's head was suddenly hit by Song Xiao, he frowned in pain, thinking in his heart, in fact, it's not that he doesn't want to rest, but if he does, the meaning of his existence will be gone.At that time, the reason why he was able to become Song Xiao's rightful emperor was because of his ability and business acumen.Now, but...

"Young Master, the soup and medicine are here." Dong'er approached with a smile on her hands, and when she saw Song Xiao, she handed over the bowl of medicine, pursed her lips and said, "Miss, I have other things to do. Can I trouble Missy to watch Shaojun drink it?" Dong'er winked.

"Dong'er..." Shen Junyi gritted his teeth and whispered.But when Song Xiao looked back at Dong'er, he quietly hid the things on his right hand.

Seeing Song Xiao take down the bowl, Dong'er ran away joyfully. Before leaving, she smiled and said: "Miss must watch Young Master drink it! If Young Master doesn't drink it, Miss can feed it herself like before!" He pouted Lao Gao.

Doesn't this imply that she used illegal means to feed Shen Junyi medicine before?
Song Xiao shook the hand holding the decoction slightly, blushed and said, "Don't, don't listen to his nonsense...the medicine is for you..."

Shen Junyi looked at the medicine bowl with a stiff face, staring at the dark part in the bowl, his face became more and more serious.

He just hated taking medicine, but Song Xiao stared at him, how could he pour the medicine away silently.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? Do you want me to feed you?" Song Xiao took a step closer worriedly.

"No, no... I..." Shen Junyi took a step back in fright, and took a closer look, but Song Xiao picked up the spoon and looked at him strangely.

The spoon had already been placed near his mouth, Shen Junyi stared blankly at Song Xiao, seeing worry flashing on her face, he opened his mouth silently and drank the soup from the spoon.

Because of the private use of internal force, his body was dilapidated.He once asked Song Xin to release his inner strength, but because his body was too weak to bear it, he could only slow it down until his body recovered.And Song Xin knew that he had used his internal strength to save Song Xiao, and he trusted and felt guilty about him.

"Okay!" Song Xiao took back the soup bowl with a smile, and wiped the medicine juice flowing from Shen Junyi's mouth with a tissue.

Shen Junyi looked at the empty bowl differently.

By the time he realized it, the bowl of medicinal soup had bottomed out.

Song Xiao rubbed his hair, and said with concern: "I'll ask my mother about Yizhou."

She took away all the ledgers on the table, and said with a thief, "I took them all away. You can take a good rest in your room."

She is really...

Shen Junyi shook his head.After taking all these away, he has nothing to do.His body is weak and he can't practice sword. What else can he do now except sleep?
He secretly took out the thing just now, it was a blueprint, which was given to him by Su Ye winking when he met Su Ye, saying that he was bored anyway, so why not make an embroidery according to the blueprint, such as a small purse some type of.

At that time, I didn't know what was going on in my mind, but it was filled with the scenes of Song Xiao being smashed with purses and sachets every day, and I thought that Su Ye seemed to have given a peace talisman and Song Xiao carried it with me.When he realized it, he had already smiled at Su Ye and accepted the things.Why he accepted this kind of thing, he himself couldn't figure it out.

He murmured softly: This...is...a mandarin duck?
His face suddenly turned red.

Immediately, his eyes flickered across the pile of things that Song Xiao had put down just now.

Why don't you try it out...

An hour later, Song Xiao ran to Song Xin's study with the ledger in his arms, knocked on the door, and walked in.

As soon as he looked up, Song Xiao exclaimed: "Old lady, why did you get out of bed?"

I haven't seen her for a few days, and the old lady's complexion has become much more rosy. I heard that the cough has decreased, and I decided not to use the incense.

"Lying all the time will only make you feel uncomfortable, I'm not that delicate." The old lady looked at the account book in Song Xiao's hand, her eyes blinked, "Your new accounting method has been praised by many shopkeepers."

Being praised by the old lady for the first time, Song Xiao blushed with guilt. She handed over the account book and said with a smile, "I have checked everything from last month, and half of it was helped by Junyi."

The old lady murmured softly: "It's so fast... You and Jun Yi are really suitable, and it's good to have his assistance..."

Song Xiao didn't hear clearly, and opened the ledger in his hand.

"The losses in these few grain books are huge, Xiao'er thinks there is something wrong..."

"Grain industry..." The old lady shook her head and sighed, "Two months ago, Yizhou suffered from floods, so I ordered the grain industry around Yizhou to stockpile grain quickly to make a profit. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate took the queen's warrant to send the big Some of the food was transported away, and it was said that the empress ordered the food to be provided to the victims for free. The food became more and more scarce. Enran heard that Nianchuan had a lot of food and went to Nianchuan to buy food. Who knew that the people of the Lin family put it together and bought it back? It's Chen Liang. She bought it at a high price, but now she can't sell it at a low price, and has lost a lot of money. Now I'm looking for your mother to find a solution."

The Enran in the old lady's population is Song Enran, the granddaughter of the old lady's younger sister, and the eldest granddaughter of the branch family.

Sucheng is a big city, with Yizhou and Nianchuan next to it.The Song family is the commercial dragon of Sucheng, followed by the Lin family. In recent years, after the Song family shifted their focus to Phoenix City, Sucheng and Nianchuan were almost dominated by the Lin family.

The old lady gritted her teeth: "That kid from the Lin family is getting more and more arrogant. If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't take our Song family seriously."

She suddenly looked at Song Xiao and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao'er, the second aunt once mentioned to me that if you pass two of the three levels, you will be the head of the family. Now that you have passed two levels, the third level is not It needs to be mentioned. But your second aunt made a big fuss, saying that you were just lucky, so she pestered me and asked me to give you the matter of the grain industry as an exam question."

Song Xiao was taken aback.

The old lady went on to say: "The grain industry in Yizhou has suffered huge losses, and there is no hope of making a profit. However, if the back warehouse is full of old grains, if we don't dispose of them, there will be no place to put the new grains we buy next time." Yes. Xiao’er, let’s take a look.”

This time, the old lady used a negotiating tone without knowing the previous order.Song Xiao knew that she could refuse, but she smiled.

"The old lady trusts Xiao'er so much, Xiao'er will definitely solve the grain industry problem perfectly without hesitation."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly said: "Extend your hand."

Before Song Xiao could respond, the old lady grabbed her hand.

The old lady patted her hand, and then took off the jade ring finger on the thumb strap, and put it firmly on Song Xiao's right thumb.

"This is a gift from your grandmother." The old lady raised her head and smiled kindly at Song Xiao for the first time.

Song Xiao pursed her lips, her eyes were full of mist, and she choked with sobs, her voice was so hoarse: "Thank you, grandma!"

The old lady squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Although your acupressure technique was painful that day, you felt much better afterwards. Would you like to do some acupressure for grandma today?"

Song Xiaoxin said happily, "Of course I would."

When Song Xiao helped the old lady go back to her room, she met Song Lin, Song Yanling and Song Huayan who came to pay her respects.

When they saw Song Xiao supporting the old lady, their eyes flashed with surprise.

Song Lin hurried forward: "Mother, I'll help you go back to your room."

The old lady waved her hand and said lightly: "You're careless, forget it."

Song Lin's face turned pale, and she glared at Song Xiao angrily.

Sensing that the old lady's thumb was empty, Song Yanling suddenly said: "Grandma, did your jade finger fall off..." Her words suddenly froze in her throat, because she had seen the old lady's jade finger firmly worn on Song Yanling's neck. Akatsuki's thumb.

A stern look flashed across her eyes: "Eldest sister, how could you secretly wear grandmother's jade wrench?"

The corner of Song Xiao's mouth twitched, and the old lady scolded: "I gave it to Xiao'er. You go down, as long as Xiao'er takes care of me."

Song Huayan was taken aback for a moment, and then saluted, "Huayan is relieved that the eldest sister will take care of grandma. Second aunt, second sister, let's go."

The three of them walked a few steps, and Song Yanling said angrily, "How could grandma give Song Xiao the family heirloom jade ring finger? She didn't even give it to my aunt back then."

"Second Sister, keep your voice down." Song Huayan said softly, "Perhaps Grandma has decided that Eldest Sister will be the next Patriarch."

"Isn't there still the last test question? Patriarch? Song Xiao wants to be the head of the family?!" Song Lin sneered and waved her sleeves, "Yan Ling, be more successful recently, let grandma praise you, and destroy your elder sister's prestige!"

Song Huayan stood behind the two of them, her smiling expression restrained.

She murmured: "You guys...underestimate Song Xiao...it's not good...that person is not as simple as imagined."

Song Xiao helped the old lady into the room, and the old lady lay down comfortably. Song Xiao rubbed the old lady's shoulders and thumped the back to relax the old lady's body. Then, she started acupuncture treatment. Beat back.

The old lady was lying on the bed, enjoying it comfortably, and suddenly said leisurely: "Xiao'er's skill in rubbing her shoulders and beating her back doesn't need to be pretty, it's quite comfortable."

She turned her head slightly and asked, "Xiao'er, have you ever blamed grandma for being harsh and harsh to you? Have you ever complained that grandma was unfair to you? Treating Yan Ling beautifully?"

——Mother, why doesn't grandma hug Xiao'er?
——Mother, grandma is so fierce...

——Grandma never talked to Xiaoer, Xiaoer envied the second and third sisters.

The person behind him paused and did not reply for a long time.

The old lady sighed: "I must have hated it when I called you old lady so unfamiliar."

"I used to hate it." Song Xiao's voice was hoarse, and he suddenly laughed, "Because I envy you, I think it's because I respect you that I envy the second and third sisters to be favored by you. However, I am very satisfied now... because At this moment, you really regard me as your granddaughter."

There are still memories of Miss Song in her mind, and her loss and envy are still left in her chest. Such a little girl who was not loved by her elders since she was a child is full of longing for family affection in her heart.

She wanted to hear her grandmother call her like everyone else: "Good granddaughter."

After the old lady heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What a good granddaughter."
