Chapter 350 Visiting the Mu Family
After the two families got to know each other, Pei Ji came to visit the Song family at the end of the year. He brought generous gifts and took care of everyone.
"The emperor has been worried about the imperial merchants recently. Something went wrong with the people who were prepared before, so they have been withdrawn." He mentioned it casually, which immediately made the two uncles of the Qiao family excited.
Uncle Qiao: "Master Pei, could you please tell me more about this matter?"
Mr. Qiao: "To be honest, we came to the capital this time for this matter."
Compared to Mr. Qiao's euphemism, Mr. Qiao is much more direct.
Pei Ji smiled and said, "You two are Song Ci's elders, so naturally you are my elders. This matter is because the things they sent hurt the imperial concubine, and the emperor issued an order, saying that they will never be employed again."
Uncle Qiao pondered and said, "Then Sir Pei, in your opinion, do we have a chance?"
Qiao Laoer also had a look of anticipation on his face.
Pei Ji pondered for a moment and said, "We can give it a try, but success or failure is not guaranteed."
When Song Ci heard this, he knew that it was a sure thing. Unless Pei Ji refused to speak up, he would definitely be able to accomplish it. His uncles had the ability to become royal merchants. If it could be accomplished, it would be a good thing.
Soon the two decided to take out some things and let Pei Ji take them to the palace.
The atmosphere was joyful for a while.
The maid rushed in, yelling, "Madam, Master, my young lady...my young lady has fainted."
Qiao Xianglan stood up and said, "Tell me slowly, who fainted? Was it Qiao Yun?"
The round-faced maid said, "Yes, it's Qiao Yun, my young lady!"
Mr. Qiao frowned: "How come he suddenly fainted when he was fine?"
The maid said, "My young lady has never been able to eat enough. She must have fainted from hunger. Our rations were not enough, so we went to the kitchen to ask for food, but the cook kicked us out. My young lady was so angry that she burst into tears. Since then, she would rather go hungry than go to the kitchen to beg for food."
The maid wiped her tears after she finished speaking.
Song Ci glanced sideways and said, "I went to find Doctor Lin and asked him to come over to the house to treat Qiao Yun."
The maid hurriedly said, "He just fainted from hunger. There's no need to call a doctor."
She looked in Pei Ji's direction after she finished speaking, "My young lady is all alone, and the master and mistress let her live alone in the Song family. When she encountered something like this, I, this servant, really don't know what to do."
It turned out that they were coming for Pei Ji.
Song Ci waved her hand and stood up: "In that case, I'll go and take a look."
Qiao Xianglan: "Why don't I go with you to see what's happened to the child? He fainted from hunger and didn't even say a word."
Song Ci held her shoulders and said, "Mom, I'll go."
Qiao Xianglan nodded: "Okay."
Song Ci followed the maid to the yard where Qiao Yun lived. She was curled up on the bed, her face pale, her hair disheveled, and she looked a little haggard.
Song Ci walked straight to her bed and sat down in silence.
Qiao Yun stayed in the bed and never showed his head, and his heart was in turmoil.
Why did Song Ci come here? What would she do? Did she see something?
Her mind was full of doubts.
After a while.
"I'm here. Tell me why I deliberately caused such a scene in front of everyone."
She really knows!
A cold light crept up Qiao Yun's back.
Qiao Yun: "The kitchen treats me harshly, and I'm not even allowed to speak up!"
Song Ci: "The kitchen has the same rations for you, Qiao Yu, and Qiao Suo: one chicken and one duck every seven days, three dishes and one soup every day. If you say you don't have enough and are deliberately starving yourself, I'll call a doctor to see if this is true."
As she spoke, she stood up and was about to walk out without waiting for Qiao Yun to reply.
"etc!"
Qiao Yun lifted the quilt, his face full of anger at being exposed.
Song Ci: "You want to talk to me nicely now? I saved your face and didn't expose you in front of everyone. But you also have to know your place, Qiao Yun. I've tolerated you many times, but this is the last time. Next time, I won't show any mercy."
Qiao Yun glared angrily, his lips tightly pursed, his face pale.
Song Ci turned around and went back to the yard.
Qiao Xianglan asked, "I went to see it, how is it?"
Song Ci patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Mom, Qiao Yun is fine."
Qiao Xianglan: "She must be feeling unwell."
Song Ci: "She said she was fine and not feeling well, so she didn't come to join in the fun."
The two uncles of the Qiao family heard everything the two said, and there was a look of calculation in their eyes.
It was getting late, so Song Ci personally accompanied Pei Ji to leave.
Pei Ji laughed: "Your family is not at peace either."
Song Ci: "Why, you are very happy."
Pei Ji: "How could that be? Every year at the end of the year, there are more exciting things to see at home. I can't even get enough of watching the excitement at home."
The tone was sarcastic.
Song Ci glanced at him and asked, "What will she do?"
Pei Ji said, "My second brother has been idle at home and has no real official position. She is anxious." He sarcastically said, "Without an official position, how can he compete with me for the position of the crown prince? There will be a quarrel every year."
Song Ci: "Logically speaking, the Pei family is so wealthy and powerful that it shouldn't be difficult to arrange an official position for them."
Pei Ji smiled and said, "It's a pity that ordinary official positions are looked down upon by others. In Madam Pei's eyes, her son must be crowned a king and appointed a prime minister."
Becoming a king or a prime minister? Wishful thinking.
When he sent her to the door, Pei Ji saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he untied the cloak on his shoulders and wrapped her tightly.
The cloak carried Pei Ji's body temperature, and its warm and thick touch tightly wrapped the Song Dynasty porcelain.
She looked at Pei Ji in a daze, "You gave me the cloak, what about you? It's cold on the road, you should take it back..."
Pei Ji: "I'll get it from you later. I'm going home now. There's a lot of fun going on at home."
After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Watch the carriage wheels turn until they disappear.
It seems that every family has its own problems. I wonder if Lord Pei regrets marrying a second wife now.
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Pei Ji personally came to pick up Song Ci to visit his maternal grandfather's home.
Since you are getting married, you should pay a visit.
He got off the carriage and personally helped Song Ci onto the horse. Their hands intertwined, and Pei Ji frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?"
Song Porcelain: "It's like this every winter."
Pei Ji turned his head to look at A Lin: "Bring me my hand warmer and make me some hot tea."
Pei Ji was a man who knew how to enjoy himself and would not mistreat himself. Not only was the carriage large, but it was also very comfortably furnished.
There was a soft blanket spread out at her feet. Song Ci sat down and felt her whole body wrapped in the soft blanket. She actually felt drowsy and sleepy.
Pei Ji: "If you are sleepy, why not take a nap first? We still have some time to get to my grandparents' house."
Song Ci nodded: "Okay."
She got up early and was feeling sleepy, so she might as well take a rest.
The carriage swayed for who knows how long before arriving at Pei Ji's maternal grandfather's home, the Mu family.
There were already people waiting at the door, looking forward to it, and when they saw the carriage, they greeted it.
"It's Pei Ji!"
The lady beside her glanced at her and said, "You are a young lady, but you are so unrestrained. You should restrain your thoughts."
