The old lady is reborn

It is said that the person who knows oneself best is often one's enemy. Rong Ruzhi came here for two reasons today. The first was that Tian Anran felt that something was not right with Song Ying, and urged Rong Ruzhi to go to Song Ying to find out the truth.

According to Tian Anran, Song Ying has always taken good care of the children, which is why she and Ruozhi can travel around happily.

Even though Rong Ruozhi was a hands-off boss and always by her side, Tian Anran felt reassured. She once said with a smile that it was like finding a good nanny to take care of her children, Nanny Song Ying.

But now, Tian Anran's son and grandson are getting into trouble one after another.

His son Rong Huaishan's reputation was damaged and he was impeached. It was only by persuading his wife to step in that he was able to turn the tide. Song Ying remained silent throughout the process.

Song Ying actually didn't care about such an important event as his grandson's taking the exam. He didn't prepare anything for his grandson to take the exam, and he didn't even let him have a carriage.

In Tian Anran's opinion, even if her grandson was taking an exam, Rong Ruozhi should come to accompany her, but if Song Ying got into trouble, they should bring the matter to justice, or if there was some change in Song Ying that they didn't know about, so she urged Rong Ruozhi to come and take a look.

If there was nothing wrong, Rong Ruzhi should have given her a warning for making such a mistake.

Rong Ruozhi came, but he didn't think there was anything special. The maids here treated him as always. When he came, they hurried to greet him and served him his favorite tea.

This is what Song Ying prepares for him all year round, and all the privileges he has from Song Ying remain the same as before.

Although he didn't come often, his exclusive chair was covered with a thick, soft wool blanket in winter, and his cloak was hung on the rack at the door.

He didn't like to wear cloaks or capes, but Song Ying was always afraid that he would catch a cold, so she prepared them for him everywhere, and there were always two in his carriage.

Sometimes, in order to coax him into wearing the clothes, Song Ying would always say that he looked good in the clothes because of his tall stature. But An Ran would get angry every time she saw this, and no matter how hard she tried to coax him, the clothes wouldn't work. In order to avoid making Tian An Ran angry, he would just not wear the clothes.

But in winter, he still had everything within his reach.

Even the way Song Ying sounded when she spoke to him and her half-joking expression were still exactly the same as before.

Rong Ruozhi felt that Tian Anran was worrying too much. Song Ying was also an older man. How could he be as energetic and thoughtful as when he was young?

Now that his son and grandson all have wives, Song Ying shouldn't have to worry so much anymore. She has obviously lost weight... When Rong Ruozhi thought about how he felt inexplicably distressed and biased towards Song Ying, he forced himself to control his emotions.

Over the past few decades, Song Ying has been impeccable as a wife, mother, and grandmother, and she has always devoted herself to the Nan'an Marquisate.

When he thought about how he had lied to Song Ying for almost his entire life, he felt somewhat guilty. But then he thought, hadn't Song Ying also lied to him for his entire life? Why should he feel guilty? He became even more angry.

The second thing Rong Ruo knew was the winter banquet in the palace, and both he and Song Ying were invited.

Rong Ruozhi couldn't help but think that maybe the dog emperor missed Song Ying, so he found an excuse to let me bring Song Ying into the palace so that they could meet.

Hearing Rong Ruozhi mention the winter banquet in the palace, Song Ying remembered that in her previous life, because Rong Ruozhi was not happy, she refused to attend the banquet in the palace on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty and the Queen sent people to visit her at home, and they were relieved to see that she was not seriously injured.

The people sent by the Queen also advised her that since she was fine, she should go to the palace for a walk. They also said that those who came to the winter banquet in the palace were all princes, dukes, prime ministers, and generals who she might not be able to see even if she visited them on weekdays.

Given the status of the Nan'an Marquisate, only Song Ying had some face in front of these people because his father was a world-famous scholar. Someone once jokingly said, "Half of the heroes in the world are his disciples."

If you want to help your children and grandchildren, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't go to the winter banquet to make some friends and get to know them?

Song Ying was persuaded by the old man in the palace and entered the palace immediately, but suddenly understood why His Majesty and the Queen had sent people.

Rong Ruozhi brought Tian Anran to such an occasion.

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, Rong Ruozhi explained that Tian Anran was his adopted sister, who grew up with him in the Marquis' Mansion when they were children.

Tian Anran's husband, He Jiabao, the shopkeeper, has known her for many years. He brought her here today because the He family silk shop wanted to gain the title of royal merchant.

To this end, Tian Anran brought two kinds of fabrics that the He family silk shop had finally produced after many twists and turns.

There is a kind of fabric called firefly yarn, which is sparkling and looks like fireflies dotted on it.

What’s even more amazing is that the gauze looks thin and transparent, and when dry it looks like smoke or fog. You can see your palm when you put your hand behind the gauze.

But once the gauze gets wet, it's as if all the longitude and latitude threads suddenly close their little windows, and when you put your hand behind the gauze, your palm can no longer be seen.

This yarn is not permeable when it enters water.

Another kind of silk was called "Nianchenghui", which looked to be soft, delicate and shiny. In order to display it, Tian Anran brought a brazier, took out five or six kinds of fabrics and threw them into different braziers, and all of them burned without exception.

Only when it was "turned to ashes" and put into the brazier, it flickered and could never burn. It basically remained intact. It was because it had been burned by the fire for too long. The burning part did not emit any flames, and only a circle of ashes fell.

Tian Anran stole the show at the winter banquet with these two fabrics that were "impervious to water and fire". The Sixth Prince's wife also spoke up for him and led a group of noble ladies in praising the products. However, His Majesty and the Queen never gave in.

Later, Rong Ruozhi walked up to Song Ying and asked Song Ying to help An Ran and say a word in front of His Majesty.

It seemed to be saying that Your Majesty has always respected Song Ying's father, and Your Majesty's Queen has taken good care of Song Ying, so he asked Song Ying to speak up.

He also said that he was the one who brought An Ran here, and if he was embarrassed like that, he would also be ashamed.

In her previous life, the silly Song Ying loved Rong Ruozhi all her life. Whenever he begged her, she would go to the emperor and the queen to speak for Tian Anran.

Tian Anran got the title of imperial merchant. She was very happy but she didn't do as Rong Ruozhi said. She came only for the title of imperial merchant and left after recommending the two fabrics.

Instead, he sat directly in the seat that had originally belonged to Song Ying, while Rong Ruozhi, who was sitting next to him, was talking to the star official, the royal astrologer, as if he did not notice the embarrassment of his wife Song Ying who had nowhere to sit.

Finally, it was the Empress who noticed her, waved her hand and called her over, and ordered people to add a seat and a desk below her. Only then did she seem to have been honored and sat in a seat close to the Emperor and Empress.

Later, after the winter banquet ended, Rong Ruozhi sent Tian Anran back home, got on the carriage and left, leaving Song Ying behind.

Song Ying originally came here in her own carriage, but she thought that she could take Rong Ruzhi's carriage when she went back. There was no need to let the coachman wait here for a long time in such cold weather. She decided to save as much as possible and sent her own carriage back.

Now she was walking in the biting cold winter wind, her old leg injury flared up and the pain was excruciating, and the palace servant told her that the carriage from the Nan'an Marquis's Mansion had already picked up the license plate and left.

She had no choice but to move forward step by step. When she finally got out of the palace gate, she was already covered in cold sweat.

But outside the palace gate, he met the anxious He Jiabao. When he learned that Tian Anran was bringing cloth into the palace, he rushed to stop her, but he ran to the wrong palace gate. After turning around several times, he finally found the right place, but couldn't get in, and he didn't even know that the palace banquet was over.

Finally, it was He Jiabao who sent her back. She asked Manager He why he was so anxious to find Tian Anran?

Now that she has lived a new life, of course she knows the reason. But at that time, Shopkeeper He had already heard that Tian Anran had won the title of Imperial Merchant, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Song Ying thought, Winter Banquet, good, this time Tian Anran will not be given the title of Imperial Merchant. Without the title of Imperial Merchant, how could Tian Anran continue to make friends with noble ladies, become so well-mannered and prosper in a few years, and open jewelry shops, cosmetics shops, and clothing shops while the iron is hot...
