I am a ruler in troubled times

"Since I have called you all here, I am willing to give you the opportunity to choose for yourself." Emperor Yonghe paused at this point, and held up the black-covered booklet at hand, "The specific official positions of Zhan Shifu have been decided. The grades you get from your teachers."

Song Peiyu lowered her head, still said in unison with the people around her, "It's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Emperor Yonghe smiled when he saw this, and called names directly, "Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe, both of you are in the first class in the assessment, you choose first, I think the fourth-rank Shao Zhan Shi is suitable for you two."

Zhan's mansions in all dynasties have always focused on Zhan's affairs, supplemented by less Zhan's affairs.

Emperor Yonghe was willing to give Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe two young men who had never done any errands the starting point of their official careers. Whether it was for Chongyi's face or not, he gave them great preferential treatment. and favor.

Song Peiyu knew that if he didn't speak, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Jihe to speak.

He said loudly, "As your Highness's companion, I will not leave the school as long as His Highness is still studying."

"Huh?" Emperor Yonghe smiled briefly, as if joking with Song Peiyu, "If you miss this opportunity, when you are about to enter the court, there may not be a proper fourth-rank official waiting for you. You will regret it later , but it was too late."

"I went to Zhan Shi's Mansion today, and I will regret it in the future." Song Peiyu said this sentence not only out of tricks, but also from the heart, so she was able to firmly face the scrutiny of Emperor Yonghe without shrinking back.

Zhan Shifu said it was a small court, but it was far from being able to compare with the real court, and it was only a place to temporarily serve Chong Yi.As long as he is still by Chong Yi's side and can act under the banner of Chong Yi, he will not worry about whether the people in Zhan Shi's Mansion will not be used by him whether he goes to Zhan Shi's Mansion or not.

If he really wanted to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, he should take a rotation experience in three provinces and six divisions.

In contrast, the official status when he first entered the court was not that important to him who was already a guest of the third-rank prince.

Emperor Yonghe really wanted everyone to choose as he said, seeing Song Peiyu's firm attitude, he turned his attention to Lu Jihe who was on the side.

Lu Jihe looked up at Emperor Yonghe without any hesitation, "He is also willing to continue studying with His Highness."

Being rejected one after another, Emperor Yonghe not only didn't get angry, but laughed, "Why are you willing to give up such a good opportunity?"

Lu Jihe was not afraid to look at Emperor Yonghe, and said loudly, "He came to Donggong Academy to study with His Highness, and there must be a beginning and an end when doing things. When Your Highness stops studying, it is time for He to do other things. "

Emperor Yonghe passed Lu Jihe to look at the people behind him.

The Eldest Princess and the Head of Huiyang County naturally couldn't go to work in Zhan Shi's Mansion, and Bo Yang and Sheng Tairan took the second class.

Bo Yang has a very clear understanding of his embarrassing identity. He is the young son of the Yan family, and he fell into the hands of Emperor Yonghe by accident.If Uncle Yunyang hadn't interceded, let alone proton, the grass on the grave might have been half the height of a person.

If he can't return to the country of Yan, the best result for him to stay in the country of Zhao is to eat and wait to die.

He is the one who can't leave the East Palace Academy to enter the dynasty.

Therefore, Bo Yang's attitude was firmer than that of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe.

The problem was thrown to Sheng Tairan. As a slightly autistic and timid person, it was difficult for Sheng Tairan to make a different choice from others. He chose to be in a group like countless times before.

Emperor Yonghe did not let Sheng Tairan go so easily, "But your sister told me some time ago that you are not too young, and you can enter the court as soon as possible to discuss marriage, so let me pay more attention to it."

Sheng Tairan hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth cautiously this time, "That's my sister's idea, I also want to spend more time with His Highness, Brother Lu, Brother Song, and Brother Bai."

From the heart, Sheng Tairan actually likes the elementary school very much.

Even if Lu Jihe and Luo Yong bullied him.

But he knew that they were bullying Concubine Sheng's younger brother, not looking down on him.

Ever since his father followed what Emperor Yonghe said before he became emperor, and changed the Sheng family from a wealthy businessman to an aristocratic family, Sheng Tairan has seen too many eccentricities and secret tricks.

Sheng Sheng's family has no foundation at all, let alone resisting, Sheng Tairan didn't even dare to evade, he could only forcibly bump into those embarrassments.

In contrast, the people of Donggong Primary School are more honorable, but their behavior is more "gentleman".

Sheng Tairan is actually very envious of the students in Donggong Primary School, even if he has no father or mother and can only rely on his own Ping Zhang, and Bo Yang who is helpless and walks on thin ice, he hopes that he can become like them in the future, no matter what he faces. People who can deal with it calmly.

So at this time Sheng Tairan said that he would stay in the East Palace to study, although he had the idea of ​​being a gregarious person, but after a thorough investigation, it was also from his heart.

Before Emperor Yonghe could ask, Luo Yong said carelessly, "Since everyone is here, I will continue to study with my cousin. I, Ping Zhang, will go to the battlefield to inherit the mantle of my father's generation in the future, even if I want to enter the court. to the army."

Luo Yong finished talking for Pingzhang, and Pingzhang only needs to nod along.

Emperor Yonghe stretched out his finger and pointed at Luo Yong angrily, "If you have such a thought, tell your father about it, so that your father can be happy, because he won't even be able to eat in other days' weather."

Luo Yong shrank his neck and lowered his head obediently.

He didn't make his father happy, and his father didn't make him happy.

In the end Wei Zhiyuan was left, and he also said that he would stay in Donggong Primary School.

Emperor Yonghe's expression was complicated for a moment, but he didn't make things difficult for Wei Zhiyuan, and he didn't even ask why.

If everyone else was still studying in Donggong Primary School, only Wei Zhiyuan went to Zhan Shifu to fill in the official position, and it seemed that Wei Zhiyuan seemed to be squeezed out.

"Since you still want to study, you look like you are studying." Emperor Yonghe said sadly, "Don't think that I don't know what virtues you all have when you are in Donggong Primary School. If I didn't invite those teachers in person, Entrusting them to take care of you, how many teachers have been driven away by you!"

Everyone bowed their heads in guilt, and only they knew what they were thinking.

"What are you still standing for?" Emperor Yonghe pointed to the misfit in the crowd, "Kneel down!"

Chong Yi, who was in a daze the whole time, lifted up his robe and knelt down indifferently.

The eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County also wanted to kneel when they saw this, but they were stopped by the shoulders of King Su who walked down from above at some point.

Emperor Yonghe began to settle old scores with these people. From their lack of seriousness in class to the horrible assessment, and finally to the fact that they were too wild-minded, they didn't even want to come back after going to Zhuangzi. It took half a cup of tea just to enumerate the criminal evidence.

When the eldest princess heard that Emperor Yonghe mentioned Zhuangzi, she couldn't stand up, and she would kneel with everyone as punishment.King Su couldn't even stop him, and he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting the eldest princess.In the end, he had no choice but to let go, and returned to Emperor Yonghe angrily. After all, the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County also knelt down.

Seeing this, Emperor Yonghe suddenly spoke faster, "Okay, don't obstruct my eyes here, go back to the East Palace and reflect on yourself."

"I will remember your Majesty's instruction." Everyone said in unison.

After giving up the official who was right at hand, and even being reprimanded, everyone was in a good mood.

After returning home, Song Peiyu told Song Jinyu about what happened in Qinzheng Palace. Song Jinyu didn't say whether Song Peiyu was right or wrong, only that Song Peiyu had grown up.

On the contrary, Song Peiyu was embarrassed, and she was silent for a while before asking about Song Jinyu's genealogy.

Song Jinyu smiled, and said slowly, "As long as Mrs. Lu doesn't want to quarrel with us, she won't make a fuss about the family tree. You should just store the family tree with Mrs. Lu temporarily."

Song Peiyu showed a toothache expression upon hearing this.

Song Jinyu's words gave him the illusion that the ancestors of the Song family were stored in the Lu family.

There is no rush for genealogy, so I can only put it aside temporarily.

Ten days later, at the Great Court Meeting, Emperor Yonghe officially announced that he would reset Zhan Shifu.

When the court decreed who should fill in which official positions in Zhan Shifu, from the announcement of the re-establishment of Zhan Shifu to the tidy up of Zhan Shifu's staff, there was only a big court meeting.

After returning to the East Palace, Song Peiyu carefully sorted out the information on the officials of Zhan Shifu.

Zhan Shi, who is the third rank, comes from the Lu family. According to his seniority, he is Lu Jihe's younger uncle, but he is just a side branch.

The Shao Zhan stories of the fourth grade are from the Mu family and the Song family respectively, and they are all familiar people of Song Peiyu.One is when Song Jingming got married, Murong Jing took Song Peiyu's "old uncle" Shen Liang, and the other was Song Peiyu's third brother.

The following officials, without exception, come from aristocratic families.

After reading the entire list, Song Peiyu seriously doubted whether Emperor Yonghe regarded Zhan Shifu as a club for the elderly.No matter how you look at it, these officials were not appointed to assist Chong Yi, but they had to be given an official, and they just happened to be thrown into Zhan Shifu, so as not to cause chaos to the court.

Although I am very sorry for the third brother, if the third brother has the talent to be an official, he will not spend most of his time taking care of the general affairs of the clan.

After a short period of disappointment, Song Peiyu temporarily left Zhan Shifu behind, and he found that he was suddenly idle.

Before that, he was busy opening the Fenfang Court, Ming Ke Restaurant, and hot pot shop, as well as fine seeds, glass, and gunpowder. At the same time, he also had to take care of consulting a lot of information and drafting Zhan Shifu.

Now that the shops are open, and the business is booming and stable, there is no need for Song Peiyu to worry.

The fine seeds were also planted in Chongyi's Huangzhuang, and Song Peiyu specially recruited a few people from Lihua Village to Xianyang to take care of the fine seeds.

When dealing with glass and gunpowder, Song Peiyu has learned the Buddhist system, and will never use it except for the fixed input.

Since he was able to make colored glaze stably, Song Peiyu simply spent money to buy a new village, which specializes in firing all kinds of colored glaze. He plans to wait until next year to open a colored glaze shop, which will not only sell tea cups and jewelry, but also Lots of fun little things.

Now the matter of Zhan Shifu has also been settled.

Even an unplanned winery opened, and there were hints of perfume.

Everything is done above par.

Song Peiyu, who had been idle since going to Zhuangzi, found that even if he returned to Xianyang, he was still doing nothing.

There is nothing else to do but go to class.

Still quite uncomfortable.

Song Peiyu patiently listened to the class for a few days, and when she had free time, she would spend it with Chong Yi, watch people play mahjong, or listen to books and drink tea. After a few days, she couldn't stand the retirement life that started early .

After pondering, Song Peiyu decided to find something to do when he had nothing to do. He wanted to decorate the East Palace.

In the beginning, the State of Yan was located in Youzhou and Yizhou, and Xianyang and Luoyang were both in no particular order.Because Yan State wants to contend against Tuyuhun from the northwest, it is more focused on Xianyang.

The emperor stayed in Xianyang for many years, and the ministers naturally followed the emperor.

Therefore, at the beginning, Xianyang was the main force, and Luoyang was the deputy.

It's a pity that Emperor Qing lost the ambition of his youth in his later years. He only wanted to guard the prosperity and splendor. He didn't want to think about the struggle with Tuyuhun, and he didn't even want to see the news about the war.

Annoyed, Emperor Qing decreed to officially designate Luoyang as the capital of the Yan Kingdom, and within two months he rushed from Xianyang to Luoyang with his concubines and ministers' burdens.

Since then, the Xianyang Palace has been dilapidated.

It was not until Emperor Yonghe proclaimed himself emperor that the Xianyang Palace, which had been dilapidated for nearly 20 years, was reopened.

The time last year was too rushed, and it was not suitable for large-scale construction projects just after the establishment of the Zhao Kingdom. The imperial palace was only slightly repaired and moved in. Otherwise, it would not have happened that Song Peiyu's room in the Eastern Palace was crushed by heavy snow. The thing about snow blowing down.

After hearing what Song Peiyu said about repairing the East Palace, Chong Yi calmly vetoed it, "I will waste people's money and waste money, my father will not allow it."

Song Peiyu didn't expect Chong Yi to say things that cost people money and money, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and assured him, "There is no need to recruit civilian husbands. Anyway, the guards of the East Palace are idle, and they are enough."

When Emperor Yonghe came to the throne, I don't know if it was to reduce the impression that he was an old minister of the Yan State. The official positions and official system of the Zhao State were designed to be different from those of the Yan State.

Most of the systems of the Yan State are the continuation of the previous dynasty. Zhao Guo wants to be different from the Yan State, so he can only study the longer dynasties, or he can innovate by himself.

Therefore, Zhao Guo's official position has many strange places.

For example, the emperor's guards are twelve guards, and the prince's guards are ten guards, but there are five armies in Kyoto.

Donggong Ten took the lead, not to mention that the Twelve Guards and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion had many overlapping responsibilities.In Xianyang, you can often see the Twelve Guards carrying out the order of the emperor, and the governors of the five armies want to stop them but dare not stop them, so they can only chase after them.

However, these have nothing to do with the Ten Commandments of the East Palace for the time being. Song Peiyu dared to bring up this suggestion because although the Ten Commandments of the East Palace had only 500 people, they were all soldiers who had experienced battles and could endure hardships.

"Then how long will it be repaired?" Chong Yi sneered, looking at Song Peiyu, "What will Gu do if the repair is not finished until winter?"

"How could it not be repaired?" Song Peiyu stretched out her finger and promised, "It's not June yet, and the East Palace will be completely renewed by September at the most."

Chong Yi still didn't believe it, but he was too lazy to argue with Song Peiyu, he spread his hands, "No money."

He has quite a few Zhuangzi and shops in his hands, but most of them are less than a year old, Zhuangzi has not yet made a profit, and the income of the shop can only support the expenses of the East Palace.

Emperor Yonghe divided the East Palace separately, and Chong Yi not only had to give moon silver to the servants of the East Palace, but even the ten officers of the East Palace were Chong Yi's private guards, and he needed to pay moon silver.

Thanks to Zhan Shifu's expenses, there is no need to spend heavily.

Although Chongyi is not a poor man, his private treasury is directly connected to Emperor Yonghe's private treasury, and may even be more luxurious than Yonghe Emperor's private treasury, but he can't sell the private treasury to repair the East Palace.

"I'll pay His Highness." With three shops that were making money every day, Song Peiyu spoke with confidence.

It was the first time that Chong Yi, who saw money back at Song Peiyu's place, looked at Song Peiyu in surprise.

"Your Highness, can you grant me a small request." Song Peiyu raised a finger, "After the repair of the East Palace is completed, Your Highness will hold a banquet in the East Palace, so that everyone can see the effect of the repair of the East Palace."

"You do it," Chong Yi said.

Song Peiyu responded with a smile, "Naturally, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters."

The conversation ended with "When Gu has no place to live in winter, give up your Tianhuju to Gu".

Chong Yi still didn't feel that repairs to the East Palace were just started now, and the results could be seen before winter, but he had already seen Song Peiyu's determination, so he simply let Song Peiyu go.

After Chongyi's consent, Song Peiyu immediately devoted his energy to his new career.

Before officially starting construction, Song Peiyu had to plan what the East Palace would look like after the renovation.

Then I found that Song Peiyu began to listen to the class seriously, thinking that Song Peiyu had finally turned around, and was full of comfort to the teachers.After discovering that Song Peiyu had just listened seriously to the class, she showed her true colors a few days later, and they all showed distressed expressions.

Song Peiyu designed the decoration for a few days, but the final result was not very good. He couldn't help but add too advanced elements in it. It's not impossible, but it would make the East Palace look incompatible with the entire palace.

After thinking about it, Song Peiyu made a few trips to the Ministry of Industry, and found some information on the repairs of the imperial palaces in the past dynasties and came back to study.

Then he found that he couldn't understand even more.

Anyway, after the start of construction, the movement of the East Palace could not be concealed at all, Soong Peiyu simply gave up struggling. He first told the students in the school that the East Palace was going to be repaired, and then went directly to the Ministry of Industry in the name of the East Palace to ask for skilled craftsmen.

When the students in the elementary school heard that the East Palace was going to be repaired at this time, their reactions were similar to Chong Yi's. Lu Jihe even went to persuade Chong Yi to give up his idea.

Tell Chong Yi about the possible results one by one.

It is nothing more than the waste of people and money that arouses dissatisfaction among officials and the common people. When it snows, it will only waste people and money if it is not completely repaired.

After listening to Lu Jihe's words, Chong Yi didn't know if he felt that what Lu Jihe said won his heart, so he gave Lu Jihe the jade pendant that had just arrived and hadn't been put into the warehouse, but he didn't say that he would change his mind and not repair the East Palace No, I didn't tell Lu Jihe that Song Peiyu insisted on repairing the East Palace, but just used what Song Peiyu said to fool Lu Jihe.

"Song Peiyu pays the money, and the East Palace will work at ten rates, and will not recruit civilian husbands."

After hearing this, Lu Jihe stopped persuading him, and brought a box of silver into the palace the next day, saying that he would do his part for Chongyi's restoration of the East Palace.

Seeing this, other people also donated generously. They didn't know that Song Peiyu paid for the repair of the East Palace, and they didn't know that Lu Jihe and the box were only silver. Moving things almost emptied my private treasury.

He also recruited King Su to come to the East Palace, specifically concerned about what happened to Chong Yi, and whether he ran out of money recently.

Song Peiyu secretly scolded Lu Jihe for being uneasy and kind when she found out about this, and directly asked Shi Li to send all the small treasury moved by other people back to their house, leaving only one or two things as their wishes, which made these people even more worried up.

Song Peiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this, she could only promise that when Donggong ran out of money, she would definitely look for them.

With the participation of professionals, the plan for repairing the East Palace was completed at a rapid pace, and finally at the end of May, everything was ready, and the official start of construction was just a matter of time.

I saw cart after cart of things entering the East Palace through the side door, but there was no civilian husband to serve.

In the first month, everyone was able to hold on, but from the second month onwards, those who had been paying attention to the movements of the Eastern Palace couldn't bear it anymore.

Could it be that they found out that the news was wrong, and that the East Palace was just repairing a certain palace?Otherwise why is it so quiet?

Little did they know that the East Palace was not quiet at all.

In just one month, the East Palace has been repaired by one-third, and the progress is getting faster and faster.

According to this speed, as Song Peiyu said, the entire East Palace can be repaired by September.

This speed is absolutely appalling in the eyes of those who know the inside story.

Especially since they have all seen the palace that has been repaired, they cannot unconscionably say that the East Palace is only fooling around with the repairs to make it so fast.

Not only did Emperor Yonghe come to the East Palace to see the progress of the repairs when he had time, even the adults who worked overtime in the Qinzheng Hall often visited the East Palace, saying that they came to pay their respects to His Highness, but after entering the East Palace, they went straight to places where the noise was loud.

For the first time, they saw that repairing a large building does not require a lot of construction work, and it is not necessary to hammer the soil into a paste and then dry it slowly to build a house.As long as red bricks and something called 'cement' are used, a new palace can be built in three days.

Only [-] guards are not only enough, but also have room to be on duty, so as not to delay their duty of guarding the East Palace.

When Song Peiyu was in Lihua Village last year, the cement prescription that Mu Qing gave to Emperor Yonghe through Mu Qing was finally taken seriously by Emperor Yonghe.

Emperor Yonghe personally took his ministers to see the fire kiln temporarily built for burning bricks, carefully crushed the soil clods demolished from the old palace, and then sifted out the most delicate parts, and then mixed them with clay brought in from outside to make mud Make brick embryos, dry them in a cool place until they are half dry, and put them into kilns.

It only takes more than a dozen people to be busy, but within ten days, you can get the red bricks enough to build a new palace.

In this case, the people from the Ministry of Industry could not keep up with the speed of the renovation of the East Palace Palace, so they could only teach Shi Rate the simpler tasks such as painting.

By the end of July, all the palaces in the Eastern Palace were completely new, only the final repairs were needed. The Primary School of the Eastern Palace was closed again, and Chong Yi moved to the Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Yonghe graciously allowed them to go to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat, so there is no need to worry that they will not come back this time.

At most one month, the East Palace will be completely repaired, and Emperor Yonghe knows that they must come back to see the final result impatiently.

In September, it was guessed that Emperor Yonghe was furious because Chongyi wanted to repair the East Palace at this time, and called a stop in time, so that those who had no follow-up to repair the East Palace heard that the East Palace had been repaired, and sent out invitations to invite everyone to a banquet and a garden.

After the invitations were sent out, the paperwork that Song Peiyu quietly handed over to the Ministry of Rites four months ago also came to fruition.

After deliberation by the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Yonghe stamped the seal, and Song Peiyu asked for the approval of the imperial order for her biological mother. The Ministry of Rites and the palace □□ handed down the decree, and canonized the Liu family of Songmen as the third-rank imperial ordering wife.

When Song Peiyu heard the news, she was making final arrangements for the banquet to be held in the East Palace in the future.

He rewarded the little eunuch who specially came to report the news with a golden nude, and fell silent looking at the glazed tree in the yard.

After all, an honorary officer is different from an official with a real position. When he asked Aunt Liu for the imperial order, he was prepared to give Aunt Liu an imperial order of four ranks or below, with no response from the Ministry of Rites or a downgraded approval.

Unexpectedly, although the time interval was longer, it turned out to be the best result in the end.

At this time, Aunt Liu has the imperial order of the third grade, and she is eligible to come to the East Palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow.

Song Peiyu didn't know if the second brother or the eldest brother intentionally made such an arrangement, and Song Peiyu deliberately avoided it from the moment he wrote the letter of requesting an imperial order.

Chong Yi came back from the martial arts field with a sword in his hand, seeing Song Peiyu's expression was different from usual, he asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Song Peiyu didn't hide Chong Yi's intentions, "Just now a little eunuch came to announce the good news, my aunt's order has been approved, and she is the third rank."

Chong Yi nodded thoughtfully, "Reward"

Eunuch An who was beside Chong Yi smiled and congratulated Song Peiyu, "I remember that two days ago, His Royal Highness just entered a pair of ruby ​​noodles, and it happened to be used to congratulate Mrs. Liu."

Song Peiyu nodded absent-mindedly, said a few words to Chong Yi casually, and left with a heavy heart.

Chong Yi watched Song Peiyu's back go away, then turned to Eunuch An, "Why is he unhappy?"

"Huh?" Eunuch An looked at Chong Yi blankly, and said hesitantly, "Master Song, how can you be unhappy when a happy event is coming, you see how much he smiles."

"He is not happy" Chong Yi repeated this sentence.

Chong Yi's attitude was so firm, Eunuch An also hesitated, he turned his head to look at the back of Song Peiyu who could no longer see, and after a while he said uncertainly, "I heard that Mrs. Song grew up under Mrs. Yunyang's knees. Perhaps it is because he is afraid that Mrs. Yunyang will have a birth with him? Or Mrs. Liu is a concubine after all, and Mrs. Song is still here, so I am afraid that her attitude towards Mrs. Liu will change."

After hearing the 'complicated' relationship between the characters, Chong Yi immediately lost interest, turned around and went back to the house.

However, Eunuch An kept it in his heart, and gave up the idea of ​​going to the Song Mansion immediately to send someone to the Song Mansion, and decided to send someone to the Song Mansion to send the head man to Mrs. Liu after the banquet.

It is not a big deal for the Song family that Aunt Liu has the order of the third rank to become Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu's glory comes from Song Peiyu in the final analysis.

Ever since Song Peiyu became a guest of the third-rank crown prince, his status in the Song family was very important, surpassing several of his older brothers, only behind Song Jinyu and Song Er.

Moreover, the imperial edict canonization is not only issued by a formal imperial decree, but also by people from the palace and the Ministry of Rites.

After the initial panic, the Song family immediately opened the ancestral hall to deliver the imperial decree, and then notified the branch family to come to the main house to celebrate Mrs. Liu.

When Song Peiyu came home, the entire Song Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, and it looked beaming.

Song Peiyu first went back to Tianhuju to change into clothes more suitable for entertaining guests, and then rushed to Songhetang where Mrs. Song lived.

Not only the female relatives of the main family are there, but also the female relatives of the side branches.

Aunt Liu, she should be called Mrs. Liu now, she was able to have her own seat for the first time when all the female relatives of the main family were present, and it was right below Mrs. Song.

Song Peiyu first looked at Mrs. Liu when she entered the door. She seldom wore brightly colored clothes, and she was wearing a maroon brocade dress at this time. It could be seen that she was not used to being the focus of everyone, but she was always smiling.

Although he is still not quite used to the change of status, he is happy in his heart.

Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Song Peiyu's last hesitation dissipated, and she walked in calmly, first greeted Mrs. Song, and then congratulated Mrs. Liu.

As long as she is happy, he can handle other things.

After Song Peiyu entered the door, the bustle of the flower hall added another level.

The branch family is attached to the main family, and naturally the most willing to see the prosperity of the main family.

The old patriarch left early, Song Peiyu herself grew up beside Song Jinyu, there would be no such thing as siblings competing for family property, even if there were more Mrs. Liu in the family, it would not hinder any major events.

Therefore, those present are very willing to join in.

The next day was lively, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Ye said they would change Mrs. Liu to a bigger yard.

It just so happened that there was still a spare yard behind Songhe Hall that was still unoccupied. Before it snowed, someone would be hired to repair it, so Mrs. Liu could live in a new yard before the year.

Mrs. Liu, who had changed back to her plain and clean attire in the past, quickly declined, saying that her current yard is also very good, and she is used to living in it, so there is no need to change the place.

Disapproval appeared on Mrs. Ye's face, and she said slowly to Mrs. Liu, "Even if mother doesn't say anything, I will change my wife to a bigger yard. You were granted the imperial order because of the raccoon slave. From now on, you will not only dress and behave, but also live Every place represents the face of Li Nu."

Seeing Mrs. Liu's dazed and withdrawn appearance, Mrs. Ye couldn't continue speaking, and began to feel uncomfortable again.

She knew from the very beginning that Song Peiyu was a good boy who remembered kindness, so ever since she remembered that Song Peiyu was her husband's concubine, Mrs. Ye took good care of Mrs. Liu.

It's like the courtyard where Mrs. Liu lives now. Although it's a little smaller, it has all internal organs and the location is excellent. It can also lead to Tianhuju and the outside of the mansion independently.Not to mention living with an aunt, even a serious daughter from the first wife may not be able to have such a good yard.

Fortunately, although Mrs. Liu came from a small family and was ignorant, she had a good eye. Not only did she respect Mrs. Song very much, but she never regarded herself as Song Peiyu's biological mother in front of Mrs. Ye.

For Song Peiyu, the two women gave in to each other very tacitly. After so many years, not only have they lived in peace, but they still have a bit of love.

When Mrs. Ye knew that Song Peiyu had asked Mrs. Liu for an imperial order, she felt sour, but she also understood that she had no reason to be sour.After all, she is already the first-rank Mrs. Uncle Yunyang, and her glory is destined to follow her husband. It is understandable for Song Peiyu to miss her biological mother.

What made Ye Shi most uncomfortable was that Song Peiyu didn't tell the family about this matter in advance.

Is it because she is afraid that her family will stop her? She no longer wants to worry about it. What worries her most now is how to deal with Song Peiyu's marriage.

With the royal decree, which girl would dare to treat Mrs. Liu as a serious mother-in-law?

Who is the proud daughter of a family who is willing to come in to serve her double mother-in-law, especially Mrs. Liu was originally a lowly concubine who was sold to the Song family, and she was even just a slave before giving birth to Song Peiyu.

Even if Song Peiyu is promising again, because of Mrs. Liu, she has to be half a dwarf when discussing marriage.

Song Peiyu happened to come to greet Mrs. Song at this time, and she could see Ye's unhappiness and Mrs. Liu's bewilderment at a glance.

He pretended he didn't find anything, took out a colored glass bottle and handed it to Mrs. Song, "I have a wine maker who made a bottle of water with a strange fragrance recently by accident. Mother gave me palm eyes."

Mrs. Song was really interested when she heard the words, she reached out her hand to ask the servant girl to wipe the water in the glass bottle, she sniffed it close to her nose, and said in surprise, "There is such a strong jasmine fragrance."

Song Peiyu smiled bitterly, "And it won't dissipate for a long time. I tried it before going to bed yesterday, and the smell is still on my body. I originally planned to enter the palace early this morning to prepare for tomorrow's banquet in the East Palace, but now I feel embarrassed to go out."

When Song Peiyu said this, not only Mrs. Song smiled, but also Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Liu.

Song Peiyu took out two glass bottles to Mrs. Ye and Aunt Liu respectively.

Mrs. Ye sniffed carefully and asked, and said softly, "It looks like the fragrant dew from the Western Regions in the early years, but the taste is more elegant than the fragrant dew. My husband also said a few days ago that the raccoon slave is a good at attracting money. Little cat, I didn’t expect that in just a few days, Li Nu would come up with something even more novel than soap. I remember that a small bottle of dew could be worth thousands of gold a few years ago, and it’s not as good as the bottle that Li Nu brought out now big."

Song Peiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at the glass bottle in Ye's hand, "Is it really so valuable?"

Ye Shi was so amused by Song Peiyu's appearance, she held the bottle firmly in her hand and joked, "Since this bottle is in my hands, it is your honor to me, don't even think about taking it back."

Song Peiyu said without thinking, "Then I will also honor the craftsman who can make this fragrance to you. After all, it is useless for me to keep him."

"How can it be useless for you to keep him?" Ye looked at Song Peiyu like a fool, and laughed angrily, "You only need to spend half of your energy on running Fragrant Court to open a shop specializing in fragrance dew, and you can compare Fragrant The income of the court is still great."

But Song Peiyu was stubborn and refused, saying how old he was, how could he play with these strange and hard-to-remove things every day, and it would be outrageous for those who came out to bring the fragrance into the palace.

These rare and naive words made Mrs. Song and Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Liu laugh again.

Seeing Song Peiyu's firm attitude, and even saying that Mrs. Ye would take it to the clan if she didn't want it, Mrs. Ye reluctantly agreed to accept the craftsman who could make fragrant dew.

But Mrs. Ye refused to take advantage of Song Peiyu. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mrs. Liu who was smiling and looking towards Song Peiyu, and said to Song Peiyu, "Since you don't want to earn this money, then I will take Mrs. Liu to do this." A business, just to save her a private house for future human relations."

"Where does Mrs. Liu know these things?" Song Peiyu shook her head and said honestly, "It would be a waste to put it in my place, so I just want to give it to my sister-in-law to make the best use of it. Don't let Mrs. Liu add trouble to it, but let my sister-in-law do a business that loses money gone."

Mrs. Ye was very upset when she heard these words, but she put on an angry look and hit Song Peiyu on the shoulder, scolding with a smile, "I can't tell whether you are burying Mrs. Liu, or you are burying me."

Song Peiyu repeatedly begged for mercy and said many good things, which made Mrs. Ye smile.

In the end, Mrs. Song made the decision, and the matter of Xianglu was finally settled.

She pays for the shop and the capital, and Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Liu will take care of it. The proceeds will be divided into four, and everyone present will have a share.

When Song Peiyu excused that the East Palace still had something to leave, the three women in the flower hall urged him to leave quickly, discussing how to open the shop in words.

After Song Peiyu left the yard, she looked back at the plaque on Songhe Hall.

Always felt like he was kicked out.

Forget it, as long as they are happy.
