The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 71 Family Dinner
Song Xieyu's call made Song Xieyan yearn even more, and couldn't wait to go to the lantern festival soon.

In the evening, as in previous years, in the Huaiyin Palace, first Song Qingshan brought Song Hexuan and Song Haoyan to pay homage to the ancestors, and then held a family banquet in the Ronghe Hall for a reunion dinner.

Song Jing'an and Song Ruying did not come.

Song Jing'an has been ill since Aunt Meng was sent away, and she doesn't know if she is really ill or has a heart disease, but she has always stayed in her room and never came out.

Li Rong invited a doctor for her, took the medicine and drank it, and didn't bother to care about the rest.

She said she would complain if she said she was sick, anyway, she was missing a lot.

As for Song Ruying, except for Concubine Xu and her two sons and daughters, the rest of the Song family know that she will be sent away tomorrow, and she is still under confinement.

Song Qingshan said that he didn't want to see her again until she left.

He and Li Rong had reported everything to the old lady. After hearing this, the old lady sighed deeply and didn't say much at that time.

She ignored Aunt Meng's affairs, and she sighed because of Song Ruying.

After all, she is the daughter of the Song family, although she is not close to her, let alone being sad, but such a dishonorable incident happened in the mansion, the old lady can't help worrying about the upbringing of these concubine granddaughters.

For this reason, she found another time, called Li Rong alone, and had a deep talk with her in private, persuading her not to relax the upbringing of the concubine daughter, so as not to cause trouble and bring trouble to the whole family.

No one else in the mansion knew about this matter, including Song Qingshan.

This is also because the old lady is considerate of Li Rong. It cannot be said that she is not responsible for this kind of thing, but the old lady can understand it somewhat.

When the old prince was still alive, he never took a concubine in his life, so she lived quite comfortably.

When he came to his son, although he was never obsessed with women, he never had the idea of ​​being a couple for the rest of his life. The old lady watched coldly, and sometimes felt aggrieved for Li Rong, so on weekdays, she was extra friendly to her. .

But this year's Shangyuan Festival, this kindness will have to be replaced.

"Mother, please take your seat."

In the hall of Ronghe Hall, everyone had arrived, so Song Qingshan got up and respectfully invited the old lady to go first.

The old lady nodded slightly, supported by Song Xieyu with one hand, and dragged Song Xieyan into the dining room at the same time, with a smile on her face, showing no reluctance.

This scene inevitably made Concubine Xu and Song Mingxue feel nervous.

The old lady has always disliked Song Xieyu, and Song Xieyu has a very bad temper, even Ronghetang rarely comes, this is known in the mansion.

In the past, Li Rong personally supported the old lady, but what happened today?Could it be that Song Xieyu won the old lady's heart just after inviting An for a while, and began to favor her?
The mother and daughter looked at each other secretly, seeing Song Mingxue biting her lips unwillingly, Concubine Xu hurriedly squeezed her hand quietly, implying that she should hold her breath.

Song Mingxue had no choice but to bear it, lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and got up silently.

Entering the dining hall, everyone was seated, and the table began.

First, Song Qingshan toasted the old lady with his wife and children, and it was quite lively for a while, and when the chopsticks were officially moved, everyone obeyed the rule of not talking when eating.

After dinner, return to the hall.

The elders chatted, and Song Xieyan couldn't stay still anymore, sitting beside the old lady, but looked at Song Xieyu frequently.

Song Xieyu couldn't stop laughing, so he could only wink at her and signal her to wait.

The old lady naturally saw their eyebrows and eyes, and laughed secretly.

But in the end, I am satisfied and gratified.

In the past, she doted on Song Xieyan so much, firstly because she was shy and lovable, and secondly because her elder brother and older sister were not very close to her.Especially Song Xieyu, who doesn't look like an older sister, and doesn't know how to defend her own sister.

However, after that serious illness, she was enlightened. Seeing that she and Song Xieyan got along very well, the old lady was relieved.

After all, she is old, and she might not be here someday.

Even the son and daughter-in-law can't stay with them for the rest of their lives. With Song Xieyan's temperament, if she doesn't have a capable sister to protect her, she doesn't know how much she will suffer!
The old lady saw that Song Xieyu was quite sincere to this little sister now, and she would not care about her disrespect in the past.

Patting Song Xieyan's little hand, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, I'm tired after tossing around for so long, you guys go back and rest."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Song Qingshan and Li Rong took leave first, and she called Song Hexuan, "Zi Ye, come here, grandma has something to tell you."

When I called him over, I first told him about his departure tomorrow, encouraged him, and then said: "You are a smart boy when you pee, so grandma won't say much. Go, take your two younger sisters to watch the lanterns. Take good care of them, especially Yan'er, she is young, don't let her be alone."

Song Hexuan saluted with a smile, "Grandmother, just rest assured, I will protect my younger sisters and never let them make mistakes."

The old lady knew that he acted prudently, so she nodded and said: "I believe you!"

Turning to Song Xieyan, he said, "Go with your brother and sister, don't get too tired from playing."

"Got it, I'm going to grandma!"

Song Xieyan joyfully went down and held Song Xieyu's hand, the two sisters resigned and followed Song Hexuan out of the hall.

Just after leaving the Ronghe Hall, they saw Song Haoyan and Song Mingxue.

The two stood under the lanterns set up outside the courtyard, their faces reflected faintly.

Seeing the three of them, Song Haoyan hurriedly brought Song Mingxue forward and saluted, "Brother, but you want to go to the Lantern Festival with the two younger sisters? I wonder if Mingxue and I can go together?"

Song Hexuan didn't care, but he didn't respond immediately, but turned to look at Song Xieyu.

My own sister has a big temper, she has the final say on this matter!
Song Xieyu glanced at the two of them lightly, not missing Song Haoyan's more respectful attitude than before, nor Song Mingxue's concealed unwilling eyes, she chuckled and said: "Fourth sister doesn't seem to want to be with us, second brother you Why do you have to force others to make things difficult? It’s better for everyone to go to their own places, during the New Year’s festival, no one wants to have unnecessary idleness, do you think this is the reason?”

Song Haoyan is still a smart person, probably the recent events in the mansion, especially Aunt Meng's sending to Zhuangzi, made him realize something.

But it's too late to get closer now, especially since he has a younger sister who is not so smart...

Song Haoyan didn't know what to think when he heard the words, but there was still a calm smile on his face, "That's right, then don't bother the elder brother and the two younger sisters."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Song Mingxue aroused unrepentant anger because of Song Xieyu's lack of face. She stood where she was, and said softly: "Sister really misunderstood me. Were they all going to enjoy the lanterns together? How could my younger sister not want to! If my younger sister does something wrong and my elder sister is dissatisfied, Wan Wang will let me know, and my younger sister will definitely change it."
