Mrs. Guard's face was gentle, and she said to Song Liyun: "You are in a remote town, and you have no parents to take care of you at home. Although I am the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law, I still have to do this to watch A Shi grow up."
"A Shi told me that my sister-in-law loves him the most. Whenever she quarrels with her nephew, she will always protect him." Song Liyun said with a low eyebrow.
Zhao Tinglei was drinking tea next to him: "We have finished talking here. You two sisters-in-law should go back to the back house to talk about family affairs! When the third brother comes in tomorrow, we will have a good family banquet."
He had already sent the letter using a carrier pigeon, and received a reply that the Third Young Master was at a rest stop outside the customs and would be back soon.
When she heard that Zhao Tingduo was about to enter the customs, the guard's wife said happily: "My third brother likes the mutton soup made by me the most, so I asked him to prepare it early."
Song Liyun was also very happy.
She and Zhao Tingduo have been separated for more than ten days. Although they have been married for half a year, they have not been separated. Now they miss her very much.
Besides, there are still big things to discuss.
The back house of the garrison mansion is also the same as the garrison wife. Everything is neat and tidy, and there is also a large stone and brick martial arts field.
For some reason, the maids who were waiting for guests in the Nuan Pavilion lowered their heads and did not dare to show their dignity. They even walked in a well-behaved manner, which made the originally big-hearted Song Liyun feel uneasy.
The rules of the garrison are so great!
Mrs. Guard is only in her thirties. She may be too worried. When she smiles, you can see crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She has a Sichuan pattern between her eyebrows. Coupled with her purple dress, she looks older than Mrs. Wu Ya.
What she said was even more old-fashioned than Mrs. Wuya.
Sitting next to the serious guarding wife and looking at the trembling concubines around her, Song Liyun even missed Aunt Li a little.
At that time, Mrs. Guard returned to Beijing, and Aunt Li was in charge of the palace.
Aunt Li thought that Madam Guards President would stay in the capital and not come back, so she couldn't help but get carried away and resorted to clever tricks, which gave herself a lot of fun.
This time he was in a hurry to enter the city. Song Liyun did not prepare any special gifts, so he could only give them the snack gift boxes he bought on the streets of Hecheng.
Mrs. Guard did not show any displeasure, she just asked someone to take it down and let Song Liyun sit in front of her.
First, he looked Song Liyun up and down, then took his hand and took a closer look.
Song Liyun had already freshened up in the guest house. At this time, she was wearing a simple woman's bun with a silver hairpin inserted sideways.
Wearing a lavender coat and skirt, the cuffs and skirt are trimmed with snow-white rabbit skin.
On her feet were a pair of small sheepskin boots with a jade bead hanging from the toe.
This outfit is quite decent and is also the normal attire of wealthy people.
It's rare that Song Liyun didn't feel haggard after traveling a long distance. Instead, her eyes were like water and her skin was smooth and smooth.
Mrs. Guard nodded secretly. Sure enough, a girl from a military family could withstand the wind and sun. If she were a daughter of a rich family, she would fall ill after taking this trip.
With a healthy body, you can help your husband's family flourish earlier, but it's not good for a woman to be running around outside.
After inspecting the goods, Mrs. Guard patted Song Liyun with satisfaction and said, "Now that you have returned to the Wu Dynasty, can you leave someone to take care of your third brother?"
Song Liyun smiled: "Ashi is not in the tribe, so he doesn't need anyone around him to take care of him!"
"It's better to have a maid stay in the tribe with an open face, so that if you go out and walk around, you don't have to worry about your third brother being unattended.
The third brother is a man, how can he be careful about his clothes, food, and clothes?" Mrs. Guard frowned and said solemnly.
Song Liyun was surprised. She had never considered that Zhao Tingduo would be cold and hungry after she left.
Before getting married, I lived a good life for twenty years, with all my limbs alive and kicking, but as soon as I got married, I became an imbecile who couldn't live without others.
But this was the first time I met this sister-in-law, so I didn’t want to argue. Anyway, it was up to me to decide how to do things.
She just nodded: "Sister-in-law said that when we return to the tribe, we will prepare a maid for Ah Shi."
Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, Mrs. Guard was a little satisfied, and said: "You have a mother-in-law. I, the sister-in-law, should not say these words, but my Zhao family is now a royal relative, so I still have to follow the etiquette."
some.
I heard that when you came to Hecheng today, you only brought a boy who was only thirteen years old to serve you, not even a maid.
Although this boy is young, he doesn't have to worry about his reputation and it doesn't conform to the Zhao family's rules.
Tomorrow I will choose the most useful wife for you in the house, and she will be by your side to serve you, so that she can give you guidance on how to run the household."
Song Liyun refused: "It's the first time we met. How can I ask for someone who my sister-in-law worked hard to mediate? My family's business is also small, and I only have two stewards."
"Wudan is a child from the tribe, not a young boy. He is smart and smart. He is brought by my side to gain some experience so that he can help Ah Shi in the future."
Mrs. Guard nodded: "It's fine if you don't want a mother-in-law to take care of the house. It's better to take a maid with you when you go out, so that it's easier to wake her up!"
Only then did she remember that Song Liyun was born in a military household. Apart from the dowry she sent, she probably only had a few acres of land and one cow. She did not need a housekeeper to take care of it, but she should still have a maid.
According to Mrs. Guard, Song Liyun without a maid was like running around naked, and Wu Dan was not considered a human being.
Song Liyun was no longer interested in chatting, and just held on for the sake of etiquette.
No matter how you say it, you must never accept a maid and a mother-in-law. It is convenient to travel by yourself on horseback, but having one more person is a drag. Even if Yuquan and Lango can ride horses, she will despise them.
Seeing that Song Liyun didn't want a maid, Mrs. Guard no longer forced her, but she was obviously unhappy: "Ayun, it's been half a year since you and your third brother got married, why aren't you pregnant yet?
As a daughter-in-law, having children is important. There is a medical officer from the Imperial Hospital in Hecheng. Tomorrow, let the doctor take your pulse and take care of your body."
This time, faced with Mrs. Guard's kind reminder of going too far, Song Liyun didn't want to follow her anymore.
She smiled neither softly nor hardly and replied: "My mother-in-law said that I have just lived in the grassland and I am afraid that I will not be used to eating. If coupled with morning sickness, it will be bad for the child. It will not be too late to give birth to a child in a year!"
"Mrs. Wuya said she would let you get pregnant again after a year? How can this be done?" Mrs. Guard was shocked.
Mrs. Wu Ya only has one son, and she is not in a hurry to have a grandson, so why would she let him conceive again after a year?
Song Liyun looked innocent: "Ashi is the most filial person. He also said that he should listen to his mother-in-law."
I have a serious mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law has a very bad temper.
Leaving the blame to Mrs. Wu Ya and Zhao Tingduo, Song Liyun felt no psychological burden at all, and no one went to Kara Mountain to ask questions.
Sure enough, Mrs. Guard had nothing to say. She only felt that Mrs. Wuya had been ignorant all her life.
In the past, when the third brother was sixteen, his father-in-law would arrange a marriage for him, and he would prepare several maids to help him understand human affairs.
As a result, Mrs. Wuya made a fuss and refused to marry a wife, even taking care of the maids in the house, causing the third brother to delay getting married until he was in his early twenties.
Unexpectedly, now that the third brother finally has a wife, Mrs. Wuya still refuses to let her get pregnant.
Thinking about wasting four maids specially brought from the capital, Mrs. Guard became angry.
If the father-in-law is still in Yunzhou, he will definitely have a big quarrel with Mrs. Wu Ya again.
Seeing Song Liyun who seemed to "understand nothing", Mrs. Guard had no choice but to stop teaching and asked again about Song Liyun's family affairs.
