The old lady is reborn

After Song Ying's embroidery workshop finished making the clothes for the wife of Duke Anguo, Song Ying sent them to the Duke Anguo's mansion for Tie Feiyan to try on.

Tie Feiyan was delighted with the effect of the clothes after putting them on, and praised them repeatedly: "You usually don't show off your talents, I didn't expect your embroidery shop to produce such clothes."

Song Ying smiled and said, "Every embroidery shop has one or two specialties.

It is the He Family Silk Shop that got into trouble not long ago. They actually have two types of fabrics, gradient-colored gauze and double-sided embroidered satin, both of which are very exquisite.

It’s a pity that his mind is a little crooked. People who go astray will inevitably bring disaster to themselves and those around them.”

Tie Feiyan nodded and said, "That's right, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

These people have evil intentions. Every step they take is a crooked brick, and the wall they build is a dangerous one. It is better to stay away from them."

Song Ying thought that if she had the chance, she would "say a few words" to Tian Anran and the He Family Silk Shop behind them in front of the wife of the Duke of Anguo.

In this way, the future Duke of Anguo would have to think twice if he wanted to recommend the He Family Silk Shop.

If a store that is so bold as to deceive you gets into trouble, will he, the person who recommended you, have to bear the consequences?

The two sets of clothes displayed at the birthday party of the wife of Duke Anguo became an instant hit, and soon became the most sought-after styles by ladies in Kyoto. Song Ying's two shops also became famous in Kyoto.

Tian Anran's reputation had just been restored with great difficulty, but he was caught off guard by the rising star Song Ying. Now Song Ying's shop is the most popular in Kyoto.

Because of Liu Guan's reminder, Song Ying sent someone to keep an eye on Tian Anran's movements.

Wu'er and Shisan told Song Ying that the people of Kyoto often invited people to perform bangzi opera in teahouses, guild halls, and at weddings and funerals.

Bangzi opera is different from formal performances. It is a bit like a storyteller, but the performers will start singing while they are telling the story.

The actors and costumes are very simple, and two or three people can play multiple roles in a play.

The most popular bangzi opera recently tells the story of a woman who was murdered and demoted from a wife to a concubine.

Because she has always been a kind, upright and warm-hearted woman, when there was a fire in her neighbor's house, she went to put out the fire.

Later, a carriage was speeding along the street and was about to hit a child. It was this woman who rushed into the street, disregarding her own life and danger, and carried the child away.

Because she saved people one after another, her husband finally cleared her name and restored her status as the legal wife.

Song Ying thought: How does this sound like a hint to Tian Anran? Is it time to build up a stage for her now that the momentum is high enough?

Let her perform a big show, heroically save someone, and then she can restore her status?

On this day, the wife of the Dali Temple Minister also made an appointment to come to Song Ying's shop to make a set of clothes.

Song Ying picked a painting of snow scene for her, and the wife of the Dali Temple Minister was very satisfied.

During the conversation with Song Ying, Song Ying asked her: "Does the law of our dynasty allow a lowly concubine to restore her status by sacrificing herself to save others?"

This lady was famous for her husband's support and she was a living document of laws in the court.

She said to Song Ying: "Such a law does exist, but because almost no one implements it in real life, it is rarely used in practice.

I don’t know why, but the bangzi opera in Kyoto has become particularly popular recently.”

After Wu'er and Shisan's inquiries, Song Ying learned that it was Rong Ruozhi who paid someone to write the script, and also paid people to perform in various places in Kyoto.

Song Ying thought: They are really in love with each other and they are on the same boat. They are trying every possible way to help each other. I wonder how close they are to the Sixth Prince now...

Song Ying's biological son Niu Zagu was rescued by people from Liu Guan's escort agency and is now placed with Liu Guan.

After Song Ying learned about this, she put everything she was doing aside and went to see her son.

Song Ying looked at him through the screen and felt really sad.

At this point, I didn't dare recognize him rashly, so I called a doctor to see him first. He had a lot of old and new injuries from my childhood, and they needed to be treated slowly.

Song Ying asked Liu Wan to give it a try, only to find out that his own son was illiterate and could not even read a single word.

This made him feel even more upset. He had sent Tian Anran's child to the best academy and taught him with great care, but his own child is now illiterate.

He is thirty-five and has to start all over again.

Song Ying came back from Liu Wan with all kinds of worries in her heart:

What kind of temperament does the son have? What if the biological son is like his father?

Then he thought, what if he was like his younger brother Huaiyuan... he couldn't give up.

Song Ying tossed and turned all night and made a bold decision.

Her son is already 35 years old and has nothing. There is no time to wait or negotiate any longer. She wants to take her son to live with her.

Although this might add many variables to what she was going to do, Song Ying couldn't even predict whether such variables were good or bad.

But if he was considering his own son, the only way to make his future better was to bring him to his side as soon as possible.

When Liu Guan learned of his idea, he said with some concern: "Will this alert the enemy?"

Song Ying said: "Then let's alert the enemy."

On this day, as the results of the imperial examination for grandson Rong Yunyue were about to be announced, the whole family, including Rong Ruozhi and Rong Huaishan, were waiting at home for the announcement.

When his grandson was taking the imperial examination, the father and son went out to have fun, one went to find Tian Anran and the other went out with his concubine.

This time when their grandson's exam results were announced, both father and son stayed at home obediently, fearing that if they went out they would cause gossip on the streets.

However, Song Ying felt that given his grandson's condition when he took the exam that day, it was unlikely that he would be on the list.

When the whole family was having a rare meal together, someone from the Zhenhai Escort Agency suddenly came to find Song Ying.

Song Ying hurried out, and after a long while she came back and said to Rong Ruozhi and Rong Huaishan, "My close friend Liu Guan rescued a sick and injured man in Niujiagou.

This man looks very strange, and it is difficult to accommodate him in her escort agency, so she asked me for help.

As soon as I saw this man's appearance, I felt that I should help him, so I settled him in my yard."

Rong Ruozhi thought Niujiagou sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he just said to Song Ying, "What a mess.

It would not be proper to keep a foreign man with injuries in your yard, even if you are an old lady now.

Move him to our front yard. If he is not seriously injured and dying, move him to the hospital in two days.

You should have less contact with this close friend. It's stupid to keep seeing him every other day.

Her escort agency is difficult to place, but our Nan'an Marquis Mansion is easy to place?"

As Rong Ruozhi said this, he found that the servants coming and going all had very strange looks in their eyes.

He couldn't help but say to his son Rong Huaishan: "Your wife's housekeeper is not very good either. Why are these servants so sneaky?"

Song Ying had just carried the sedan chair used by her biological son into the mansion in front of everyone with great fanfare.

Walking along the courtyard, I saw almost all the servants I met along the way.

Because everyone who saw it couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise, Rong Ruzhi's followers also walked over curiously to take a look.

Now he couldn't help but run to report to his master.

Rong Ruozhi saw his two followers sneaking around outside the house and looking around. He couldn't help but get a little angry and shouted, "Come in and report if you have anything to say!"
