Chapter 124 Yao Songnian

Xiao Jixiang was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. Why did an old man come out of the sedan chair?

Ying Dongjun, who was standing in the corridor, smiled and went down the steps and came over in person.

"It was the arrival of Mr. Yao. This palace has missed the welcome and neglected the elder."

Yao Songnian tilted his mouth at Ying Dongjun, looked at the old woman Yao again, said a few times, and gestured with her fingers randomly.

Ying Dongjun and the others present did not understand Yao Songnian's meaning. After hearing this, Mrs. Yao whispered to the servant: "Help the old man get up and salute the princess."

The two servants looked at each other and stepped forward to support Yao Songnian and stood up. Ying Dongjun quickly said warmly: "The old man is inconvenient, so there is no need to be too polite."

Yao Songnian tilted his mouth towards the princess again, and did not show off any more. He just raised his hands with difficulty and barely bowed to Ying Dongjun.

Ying Dongjun gave him a greeting.

Ying Dongjun smiled and said, "Why did the elder brother come to my palace today?"

Yao Songnian said a few times, and the old lady Yao carefully identified and said to Ying Dongjun: "My husband said that when he learned that the princess was awake, he had wanted to visit the princess for a long time, but unfortunately he was not good enough, so he dragged it until now."

After hearing this, Ying Dongjun looked at Yao Songnian, and Yao Songnian nodded.

Ying Dongjun was a little surprised. How could Mrs. Yao understand?

Mrs. Yao seemed to understand Ying Dongjun's expression and explained with a smile: "I have been married to my husband for fifty years. When he was not sick, I knew what he wanted to say with one look. Now that he is sick, others may not understand what he said, but I can understand."

Yao Songnian nodded again and tilted his mouth at Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao took out her handkerchief, bent down, and carefully wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Ying Dongjun looked at them, his eyes as if he was looking at someone through them.

Mrs. Yao asked the servant to retreat outside the door and pushed Yao Songnian to Ying Dongjun himself.

Ying Dongjun came to his senses, smiled and pointed to the pond and said, "The wind is not strong today. How about the old man, the old lady and the palace go to the pond to sit?"

Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Songnian and nodded with a smile: "Okay. Thank you for your kindness."

I had to go up the steps in the hospitality hall. When Ying Dongjun pretended to be lame, he laid a stone slab on the steps so that it was convenient for the chair to enter and exit. Now she stopped installing it, and the stone slabs had been removed. It was difficult for Yao Songnian to get up on the chair.

Ying Dongjun asked Xiao Jixiang to help push the chair, and Mrs. Yao hurriedly thanked her again. She looked like a bad-speaking person, and usually spoke for Yao Songnian. She herself didn't like to talk.

Ying Dongjun recalled that when Yao Songnian got married, the Yao family had not returned to the capital in the local area, and the Yao family had already fallen, so the old lady was born in an ordinary family and was the daughter of a local gentry family.

Ying Dongjun was sitting by the pond, on the soft couch she usually sat on, and Xiao Jixiang pushed Yao Songnian to the position next to her.

Yao Songnian suddenly sighed without warning. He was not speaking smoothly, but his sigh was very clear.

"Why did the elders sigh?" Ying Dongjun asked.

Yao Songnian said again, maybe because he was used to listening, Ying Dongjun could tell him carefully and could understand a few words.

Mrs. Yao: "My husband said that our grandson did not teach well."

Yao Songnian said that he did not teach his grandson well, and Mrs. Yao added himself.

Ying Dongjun smiled, "The elder is humble. Who doesn't know that the young master of the Yao family is smart and studious? He will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Yao Songnian shook his head and tried to express his meaning word by word. Although the words and sentences were still blurred, Ying Dongjun guessed it all in a vague way.

"You can only read, not be a human being, and you can't go long." Mrs. Yao retelled.

Ying Dongjun smiled.

Yao Songnian might be really worried, so he sighed again before speaking.

Mrs. Yao: "My husband said that at the beginning he proposed to let his grandson go to the Lord. Although he had his own little thoughts at that time, he thought that the Yao family would borrow the princess's light and go a little further. However, he never felt disrespectful to the princess. He just thought that if the princess fell in love with our grandson, it would be a blessing that the boy had cultivated for several lifetimes. If he didn't like it, it would be natural. However, when the old doctor Zhang came to the mansion to take the pulse the day before yesterday, Chun'er had bad thoughts about the princess."

Ying Dongjun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. Where did this old doctor get the news?

Mrs. Yao: "My husband was so angry that he almost went there. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang was skilled in medical skills and stabbed him back after a few injections. After his husband was a little more awake, he ordered someone to call his grandson back from the academy and ordered someone to beat him twenty boards, and he is still lying on the bed."

Ying Dongjun now understood, and it turned out that Yao Chun was really beaten.

Yao Songnian said this, tears were about to flow out. Mrs. Yao quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth and face.

Mrs. Yao: "My husband said that he had taught his grandson a lesson and would strictly discipline him in the future. I hope that the princess would spare him this time because of his loyalty to the late emperor."

When Ying Dongjun heard this, he laughed and joked: "My elder is serious. When I am still young and ignorant, will I be vengeful?"

Yao Songnian didn't say anything, but just looked at Ying Dongjun begging, with a hint of respect and fear in his eyes.

Ying Dongjun slowly put away his smile and stopped talking.

Old Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Songnian, then looked at the princess again, and became a little uneasy.

Yao Songnian seemed to remember something, raised his trembling hand, reached behind him, wanting to get something.

When Mrs. Yao saw this, she quickly helped him take out a small rectangular box placed behind him.

Yao Songnian pointed at Mrs. Yao and pointed at Ying Dongjun.

Mrs. Yao quickly handed over the box in her hand. Xiao Jixiang glanced at Ying Dongjun and took it.

Mrs. Yao: "This is the time to come. My husband prepared some thoughts for the princess. My husband said the princess should need it."

At the warning of Ying Dongjun, Xiao Jixiang opened the box and was stunned when he saw the thing inside, and handed it to the princess.

Ying Dongjun took a look and found that the box was filled with boxes of silver notes.

Ying Dongjun flipped through it casually and found that the silver notes were all worth thousands of taels per ticket, and the ticket number of Sitong Money House was worth at least one hundred thousand taels.

Ying Dongjun smiled and looked at Yao Songnian, "What is Mr. Yao doing? He wants to give all his family to this palace?"

Mrs. Yao waited for Yao Songnian to finish her speech and recounted: "My husband said that it is better to respect the princess than to leave these silver to those unfilial descendants."

Ying Dongjun stroked the varnish on the box, pondered for a moment, and smiled, "My elders gave the silver at the right time, so I accepted it with a smile."
