317. The Fifth of Beichanghang

Song Jiayan not only won Song Rong's favor, but also the old lady Song, who favors boys over girls, was coaxed her around her. Nothing else, Song Jiayan knew how to meet her preferences.

The Song family is from a grassroots, and the old lady Song is even more of the grassroots.

Even though the Song family is rich now, Song Rong led the Song family to enter the upper class of the imperial capital invincible. However, Old Mrs. Song is old after all, and although her family is poor when she was grassroots, she can control her temper and temperament, and she is like a fish in water.

Now, the Song family has become a member of the upper class and should follow the customs. At this time, Mrs. Song is out of place, she looks crazy, stingy, not open her eyes, and can't make any moves. The reason for the current situation of Mrs. Song is not because Mrs. Song's IQ is insufficient, but because of her own shortcomings and attacks others' strengths.

So, how can Old Mrs. Song be harmonious with her daughter-in-law? A daughter from the marquis family and a rustic old lady. If it weren't for Song Rong's shiny and generous diamond, Xiao Ji would probably never have any relationship with Old Mrs. Song in his life.

However, Song Jiayan was happy to see that the relationship between Mrs. Song and Xiao Ji was mediocre.

Song Rong was a filial son. He lived in a large courtyard with brightness and darkness for his mother. There were no flowers, plants, insects and fish in the courtyard. There were several green and bumpy vegetable fields, several persimmon trees with a thickness of wrists and date trees, which looked very wide.

It was already evening, and Old Mrs. Song was watering the vegetable field.

Song Rong smiled, "Mom, the heat has not yet dissipated, so just do these tasks for the girl." In the past, Old Lady Song always looked for Xiao Ji's fault. Since Song Rong changed the small flower garden in the old lady's courtyard to a vegetable field, Old Lady Song had something to do and took care of the vegetable field every day, she rarely paid attention to Xiao Ji's. Therefore, Song Jiayan often felt that Song Rong was really a god.

When Mrs. Song saw her son, she was particularly happy and smiled, "You go to drink water from the big girl's house first. There is mung bean soup to cool down. I'll do it."

"Grandma, come in the house quickly." Song Jiayan picked up her skirt and went to the vegetable patch to help the old lady out, smiling, "Dad even missed you so much. When she got home, she would come to see you in a hurry. You are so excited to call the vegetable patch. You are even more close to the vegetable patch than to see your son."

Old Mrs. Song laughed and scolded, "What a naughty girl, you open your mouth."

Song Rong smiled and held his mother's other hand. The old lady had been pampering for so many years and knew some of her particularities and said, "I just watered it, don't dirty your clothes."

Song Jiayan smiled, "It's not that clean. I'll get up early tomorrow and I'll help my grandmother water vegetables. I think the cucumbers are good, and the tomatoes are red... I'll take a photo of the cucumbers and mix them with tomatoes."

Old Mrs. Song smiled, "This girl is just thinking about my vegetable bed, she has to be very good at everything." Now that Song Jiayan is with her, Old Mrs. Song no longer learns the style of hiding needles in the cotton of the Marquis Mansion. In fact, she doesn't learn anything like that, and her methods are rude and not as good as watering vegetables like this, and she laughs with her children and grandchildren.

While talking, the three grandparents and grandsons entered the room together. The girl brought warm water to serve the old lady.

Song Jiayan said, "Old lady, the salty eggs we pickled last time are you ready to pickle?"

Old Mrs. Song laughed, "How can you be so fast? These salted eggs need to be marinated for at least twenty days before they can taste delicious and taste good." Old Mrs. Song had difficulties in socializing, but pickled eggs were definitely experts.

When Song Jiayan was able to win the favor of Old Lady Song, she was so popular with her. At first, Song Jiayan also felt that Old Lady Song was unreliable, lacking in mind, and mean... Later, after spending a long time together, Song Jiayan understood that everyone had their own cuteness. For example, Old Lady Song had such a status. As the old lady in the family, she also needed socializing. Old Lady Song didn't want to embarrass her son, and was afraid that others would look down on her, so she secretly learned the style of the old lady from other families. She had no background in others, and as a result, she learned a four-dimensional appearance.

Fortunately, it was his own son, and Song Rong was a filial son, and he always could accommodate his own mother. Moreover, Song Jiayan grew up slowly and accompanied Old Lady Song to talk about the present day. He heard that Old Lady Song missed the past. The old lady was young and widowed, and he pulled out two Jinshi sons by one. It was not without respect. Song Jiayan began to change the old lady without any trace. One of the words she often said was, "My grandmother's ancestors started out as an oil seller on the street, with good luck and earned a title. After all, who is better than who."

Besides, Song Rong was willing to be filial and came up with thousands of tricks to coax the old lady, so Old Lady Song gradually changed.

In fact, as far as Mrs. Song is concerned, she doesn't like to live such pretentious days. However, from Xiao Ji's background, Old Mrs. Song ignores Xiao Ji's family at most, and she lacks the fact that she used to desperately take care of her little wife for her son's daughter.

Song Rong said, "Yan'er, you don't know that the salty eggs your grandmother pickled are unique. In the past, in my hometown, in the village, whenever someone pickled salty eggs, you must ask your grandmother to help you." Although Song Rong is now a high-ranking official and generous salary, he does not avoid being poor at all, and he also thinks about the things he has done back then, and he does not teach his children and grandchildren to be content and cherish blessings, be sensible and motivated.

When Song Jiayan saw the old lady Song, she hurriedly said, "But really? I wonder if I eat the salted eggs pickled by my grandmother, I feel that they are more fragrant than those pickled by our chef."

The father and daughter were tacitly sympathetic to make the old lady happy. Old Mrs. Song became even happier and pointed at Song Rong, "I heard from your father, it's just a little more careful. Now it's not the time when there was money at home. When your father and your second uncle were young, I raised chickens and couldn't bear to eat eggs. I took them to the market and bought duck eggs. The duck eggs were cheap, but they had a bit of fishy smell, but they actually nourished their bodies. They both thought they were fishy, ​​so I marinated the duck eggs into salted eggs, which could remove the fishy smell. They were sandwiched in thick beam cakes in the morning, and saved a meal."

These words reminded Song Jiayan, and Song Jiayan said, "Grandma, the cornmeal pancake we ordered last time was thin, crisp and fragrant."

Old Mrs. Song smiled, "Now I have made it with white flour at home. When baking it, apply a layer of oil on the pot, so it is so sweet and delicious. Your father and others didn't have such conditions when they were young. Thank you for your full meals."

"When my mother said this, I was so greedy." Song Rong said.

"I want to eat that cornmeal pancake, too."

"It can be seen that they are really a biological father and daughter. Look at it so greedy." As she said this, Old Mrs. Song asked the girl to ask the kitchen to cook some cornmeal pancakes, and then said, "Just just now, the big girl said that she would take cucumbers and mix them with tomatoes, and pick the fresh vegetables from my vegetable bed to eat."

Song Jiayan added, "Sister Ziqiao, pull some green onions and quinoa dishes into the vegetable bed, and wash them clean. Ask the kitchen to cut some diced meat, half of the meat, half of the fat meat, fry them with soybean paste, and fry some meat sauce. Cut a plate of lamb leg meat, add two small stir-fry, and stir-fry them, and the same vegetarian fried fresh mushrooms, and the same sea rice and winter melon, which my father and grandmother like to eat."

Old Mrs. Song happily said, "If you don't say that the girl is caring, I have this girl with you, so I won't be bored." In fact, she is also a granddaughter, Song Jiayan is willing to like Mrs. Song. In addition, she is a little unlucky and likes to joke. Old Mrs. Song likes her very much. Song Jiayu is busy with her homework and does not have time to spare every day. Besides, Song Jiayu really can't appreciate the taste of Mrs. Song, and she wants to talk with Mrs. Song. Song Jiayu is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, and essays. The old lady doesn't understand the hard years that the old lady is proud of. Even if Song Jiayu listens to, she can't understand the feelings of Mrs. Song.

The relationship between people is slowly getting along.

In the main courtyard.

Seeing that it was time to use supper, Xiao Ji was a little unhappy when she heard Song Jianuo telling Song Rong that Song Rong had not seen Zhang Ming. She called Lu Yun and said, "Go and ask the master, where is the supper?"

Lu Yun asked the little girl, and soon, Lu Yun replied, "The master and the eldest girl went to the old lady's courtyard and told the wife to take the second girl and the second master to use it together."

Xiao Ji sighed, "I understand." It must be that the dead girl pestered her father again. By the way, Xiao Ji married the Song family, not that she had little plans. However, the Song family has a simple population, and Song Rong is also a smart person. Even Xiao Ji dared not make any small moves under Song Rong's nose. However, Xiao Ji did not care much about Song Jiayan and Song Jiarang's growth.

In fact, this is normal. Song Jiajie moved Song Rong to the front yard at the age of five, and even the old lady didn't stop calling. For this reason, Old Madam Song was so angry that she scolded Song Rong. Song Rong, looking at Junya, was actually the most decisive. No one could change what he decided. He was forced to get two sticks from the old lady and put Song Jiajie in the front yard to study and live. Xiao Ji's house was just staying in the back yard. No matter how long she had her hands, Song Rong would not ask her to reach over.

In addition, Song Jiayan doesn't have to bother Xiao Ji.

At the beginning, Xiao Ji was able to send Madam Liang to Song Jiayan in one fell swoop. It was just a temporary solution. Unexpectedly, when Madam Liang was in charge, Song Rong not only doubled Madam Liang's monthly silver, but also rewarded Madam Liang many times, and ordered Madam Liang to serve Song Jiayan with all his heart. In this way, Madam Liang stood by Song Jiayan in one fell swoop.

Not to mention that Song Jiayan has a strange origin, even if she doesn’t need to be taught, she will not be crooked.

Not only does she look unreliable, Song Jiayan has an extraordinary status in the hearts of old lady Song, Song Rong and his son. Xiao Ji knows this.

Xiao Ji is arrogant and smart, and Song Jiayan and Song Rong are even less stupid.

Although Song Jiayan always hindered Xiao Ji's eyes and made Xiao Ji's teeth feel itchy, Xiao Ji couldn't do anything to Song Jiayan.

For a moment, Song Jiayu came out of the west wing and met Song Jianuo and his brother.

Song Jianuo said, "Mother, my sister and I will pay our respects to the old lady and father, too."

Song Jiayu had a beautiful face, but her face was not very good. She looked a little pale, and she spoke softly and weakly, saying, "Let's go after dinner. I can't get used to the old lady's things. I made some rotten eggs last time, and I almost didn't vomit after I smelled them."

Xiao Ji hurriedly said, "I heard from your sister, filial piety is not at this moment." In Xiao Ji's opinion, Old Mrs. Song became more and more strange. She was picky about family matters at first, and took a concubine for Song Rongsai's maid. Xiao Ji was calm in dealing with it. What she is doing now seems to come from a different dimension. Xiao Ji's only needs to deal with it, she is completely incomprehensible.

The sons are all third-ranked. Old Mrs. Song is uneasy to share the blessings of the old lady. Instead, she is trying to grow vegetables and often makes some strange food for the children to eat. Song Jiayan's girl has thick scalp and meat and eats everything. Her two children cannot help but waste it like that. Even if she wants her children to please the old lady, she cannot joke about her children's health.

Here, Xiao Ji's mother and son have dinner, while Old Lady Song and the grandson of the grandson also have dinner.

Song Jiayan's appearance is not similar to Song Rong, but the two are exactly the same in many aspects of their lives. For example, both father and son have a browned corn flour pancake. They first apply fragrant meat sauce to the pancake, then add three or five thin slices of cold-cut lamb leg meat, tender green onions, and finally add a few slightly bitter chorizo ​​dishes. Then, wrap the pancake and hold it in pairs to eat.

After wrapping a cake, Song Jiayan first handed it to the old lady and said, "Grandma, you eat this." Song Rong also rolled it up and handed it to his mother with both hands. Old lady Song's eyes were bent into a thread, "You eat it yourself, I will wrap it." At first, she would think of ways to keep stuffing girls into her son's house and pick on her daughter-in-law, because she was afraid that her son would forget her mother if she had a wife. Now that her children and grandchildren are all filial, how could Old Lady Song not be happy?

Song Jiayan insisted on keeping it in her hand and acted coquettishly, "Grandma is eating this."

The old lady answered and praised, "My girl is the most filial."

Song Jiayan was extremely sweet-mouthed, "This is called a father like his daughter."

The old lady laughed, "It was carved out in the same mold as your father when he was a child."

When the three grandparents and grandchildren used supper happily, everyone drank tea. Song Rong said, "Mom, next month is the birthday of the old lady of the Qin family. Otherwise, you will take the eldest lady and the children to visit each other." During the examination of Song Rong, the great master of the Qin family, and now the Minister of Rites Qin Xuanming, was the chief examiner at that time. In this way, Song Rong and Qin Xuanming were divided into masters and apprentices. Moreover, Song Rong was the top scholar at that time. In the past, Qin Xuanming also gave a lot of advice to Song Rong.

The Song brothers are competing for the sake of their priests, and Song Rong has been deeply grateful to the emperor. Over the years, the Song family and the Qin family have been walking around a lot, and they are very good at family-friendly. In ordinary social interactions, Xiao Ji family comes forward. This time, the old lady of the Qin family celebrates her birthday, and she still has her birthday for seventy. Song Rongfang wants to invite her mother to come and walk around.

Old Mrs. Song was a little hesitant. In fact, she had also gone out to walk around. Naturally, no one said anything about her due to Song Rong's face. However, Old Mrs. Song was not a fool, and she could detect the disapproval of those noble ladies. Therefore, unless necessary, Old Mrs. Song was lazy to go out.

"Mom, Lord Qin was my scientific researcher back then. Let me study in the Qin family's school. Now our two families are also good at the family. Even if I go there, it's okay to have a wife to serve you." Song Rong said in a gentle voice.

Old Mrs. Song said, "Then I will cut out my body-faced clothes, and then I will fry those gold jewelry and so on, and it will be brighter." Old Mrs. Song still understands the principle of relying on clothes.

Song Jiayan smiled and said, "Oh, that's great. I'll make two new skirts with my grandmother. Grandma, let's pick good materials and jewelry together tomorrow. Tomorrow, Mrs. Qin is also a virtuous person with a reputation as an emperor. When she married Lord Qin, the Qin family said it was a scholarly family, but in fact it had failed. Lord Qin did not have the talent of his father in the imperial examination back then, and he was the leader at a young age."

"Because of failing the exams many times, many people looked down on Mr. Qin at that time, but Mrs. Qin was devoted to her husband's schooling. In order to supplement the family, Mrs. Qin took all her dowry and even did embroidery work in the embroidery shop to sell. Finally, God lived up to the hard work. When he was thirty-five, Mrs. Qin passed the Jinshi." Song Jiayan's words were clever and quickly aroused the old lady's interest. Seeing that the old lady was obsessed with listening, Song Jiayan smiled, "Later, Mr. Qin became an official, and his official career was smooth and he was promoted. In the official social event, someone sent maids to Mr. Qin to give concubines and beauties. Mr. Qin refused one by one, and was not stained. I heard that when the late emperor was in power, he joked that he wanted to reward Mr. Qin's palace maids, but Mr. Qin would rather die than accept it. Now, the three sons of the Qin family were all born by Mrs. Qin."

Old Mrs. Song sighed, "Old Master Qin is quite conscience, and it is worth the hardship that Old Mrs. Qin suffered for him first."

"Isn't that?" Song Jiayan said, "It's even more rare that the Qin family has a good family. It's not the one who is short-sighted. The two young masters of their third master's family are classmates with their elder brother and second brother. Then the old lady will take a look. They are all children who are knowledgeable and polite."

Song Jiayan popularized the Qin family's knowledge in this way. Old Mrs. Qin nodded, "If such a family is worth dating." She felt a little relaxed.

Song Jiayan quietly blinked to Song Rong, and Song Rong smiled with relief.

The son specifically talked about the birthday party of the old lady of the Qin family in advance. Old Mrs. Song attached great importance to it and planned to re-cut two new clothes. Song Jiayan joined in the fun and picked materials and made jewelry with Old Mrs. Song.

Now the family is full of Xiao Ji's managers, Old Lady Song and Song Jiayan are both new dresses and new jewelry. The two of them just talked, and the rest all asked Xiao Ji to arrange it. Old Lady Song also added, "This is the clothes and jewelry that are going to the Qin family to attend the birthday banquet of the Qin family's old lady, so don't be too late."

Xiao Ji responded gently, "Yes." He said again, "I thought of the big girl's clothes. The best materials I chose are the same as Yu'er's. Then the sisters and the two of them will look festive when they go out."

Song Jiayan smiled and said, "Madam doesn't know that this skirt is something that the old lady looks at. The old lady said, "Only my sister and I are two granddaughters, and we will make one of them." Our material is the best match for the old lady's skirt. At that time, the two granddaughters will not only look festive, but also intimate." In terms of appearance, Song Jiayan is not as good as Song Jiayu, but Xiao Ji likes to make exactly the same dress for them, asking Song Jiayan to make green leaves for Song Jiayu. When Song Jiayan doesn't know what Xiao Ji thought.

Although Mrs. Song no longer causes trouble for Xiao Ji, this does not mean that she likes Xiao Ji very much. After listening to Song Jiayan's statement, Mrs. Song immediately supported her granddaughter unconditionally, "Okay, do as the big girl said. You should first make a skirt for Sister Yan and send it to Sister Yan. This one was made for Sister Yan. What's wrong with making a few more dresses in my daughter's house? Our family is not without money." Since her son had a future, Mrs. Song spoke quite richly.

Listening to her mother-in-law's not speaking well, Xiao Ji responded quickly, and she didn't want to make Old Mrs. Song unhappy because of a few skirts and jewelry.

After all, peace is rare.

In the evening, Xiao Ji talked about clothes and jewelry to Song Rong.

As a mother and son, Song Rong's words were somewhat similar to those of Mrs. Song, saying, "My daughter is a charmer. Make more dresses for two girls and let them wear them slowly. Next time, I will make clothes and call them to go together. Let them see what style they like. Don't always make them the same. They are not twin sisters, and it looks boring." In Song Rong's opinion, the clothes made by Xiao Ji do not fit Song Jiayan's temperament.

Song Jiayu is beautiful and gentle, and is young. He is good with yellow, tender green, lotus root, and light powder. It is delicate and tender, and looks sweet and cute. However, Song Jiayan is so heroic that it is better to use some bright colors, which Song Jiayan can suppress.

Song Rong also said this. Xiao Ji said that he didn't dare to say anything. He hid his mind and joked, "Then I will also make a fortune and make a few new dresses."

"Make more clothes." My wife dressed up beautifully, and it was also his face. Song Rong was never a stingy person. Thinking of her youngest daughter, Song Rong said again, "I think Yu'er's face has not been very good these days. It's okay to relax a little bit. Give her more nourishing and pay attention to her body, and don't call Yu'er tired."

Speaking of Song Jiayu, Xiao Ji was also very worried and said, "This girl is very stubborn, and I refused to listen if I say it. There was a bird's nest sent by my eldest brother. I ordered the girl to stew it every day for her to drink it, and it would have some effect." Xiao Ji gave Song Jiayan and Song Jianuo to eat bird's nest every day. Song Jia asked Song Jiayan and sister to have no food for this thing. Bird's nest is not an ordinary item. If the whole family eats it, according to the current conditions of the Song family, it would be a bit unaffordable. In this case, Xiao Ji naturally took care of his children first. Now, saying something in front of Song Rong can be considered as reporting in advance, so that Song Rong would not think too much.

Song Rong didn't know if he was thinking too much, but Song Rong didn't care at all. Song Jiayan didn't touch anything like ginseng bird's nest. Mrs. Wu'an was afraid that Song Jiayan would be wronged, so she gave her these supplements a lot, and Song Jiayan was filial to the old lady Song.

This is also one of the reasons why Old Mrs. Song likes Song Jiayan: being generous and filial.

Xiao Ji made some supplements and ate them with her mother and mother in the closed door. Song Jiayan directly sent them to the old lady when she got them.

If you were an old lady, who would you like?

Song Jiayan’s famous saying is, “Eat light food and nourish people.” The Song family is now in good condition, and they will never feel wronged in the meal. Fish, meat, eggs and vegetables can basically be eaten whatever they want. With such conditions, Song Jiayan doesn’t feel that she needs to eat ginseng bird’s nest to nourish her at such a young age. I remember that she watched TV introduction in her previous life and said that the nutritional value of bird’s nest is actually the same as Tremella, but rare things are just expensive.

Of course, in this era, Tremella was not artificially bred, and it was all wild, so it was also a rare object. However, Song Jiayan had seen it many times in his life, perhaps in his previous life, and he ate Tremella lotus seed soup every summer to cool off the heat. Even now, he doesn’t realize anything.
