In the front yard.

Song Hong and Chief Huai sat opposite each other, and Song Wu and the attendants who came to the palace were all standing on both sides.

The two exchanged a few words, this Huai manager, who is only in charge of the harem on weekdays, rarely deals with the previous dynasty, but no one dares to underestimate him.

Song Hong drank tea while trying to probe the tone of this manager Huai.

But no matter how he tried it, this manager Huai had a smile on his face, but his tone was not revealing at all.

Song Hong was helpless, knowing that none of the eunuchs who could get into the position of the chief were easy to get along with, so he had to rest his thoughts.

Mr. Huai drank a cup of tea, and his eyes involuntarily looked out of the door.

Song Hong knew that he was afraid that the manager was a little impatient, so he hurriedly gave Song Wu a look and motioned for him to go behind and urge him to go.

Before Song Wu could move, he heard a rumor from someone outside that his wife and his wife were here.

The curtain opened, and Gao walked in with Wang Yongzhu.

Although Fang Cai smiled, he didn't give Song Hong's head of Huaida half of his face, and hurriedly put down the teacup and got up.

Before Song Hong could speak, the chief manager of Huai had already greeted him with a smile on his face: "Huai has only seen Mrs., Mrs. Shizi!" ”

Gao was stunned, this Huaida manager, in the past, when the female dependents entered the palace during the New Year's holidays, their eyes grew on the top of their heads, and the officials and dependents of ordinary people did not enter his eyes.

Even those first-class ladies and royal ladies, this chief steward is neither humble nor arrogant.

Her mother is the monarch of Rongyi County, who is quite favored by the Queen Mother, and she often enters the palace, and she has a bit of face with the chief manager.

It's just that I've never seen this chief manager so attentive, isn't it the wrong medicine?

Gao muttered in his heart, but his face was not visible.

Because of her mother's relationship, her attitude is quite casual: "Mr. Huai is good, I haven't seen him for half a year, Mr. Huai's body has always been good?" ”

The chief manager of Huai smiled and made a gesture: "Mrs. Xie is worried, Huai Cai's body is tough." Is this the Lady of the Prince? ”

I didn't have the heart to say hello at all, so I looked directly at Wang Yongzhu.

As soon as Wang Yongzhu entered the house, he saw the chief steward, who was only thirty or forty years old, with a pale face and beard, good facial features, and a voice that was not as sharp as other eunuchs, but a little low and soft.

If it weren't for the eunuch clothes and ordinary clothes to go out, I was afraid that outsiders would look like a middle-aged scribe.

Even with a courteous attitude at the moment, it doesn't seem to be flattering, but with a sense of affection.

Wang Yongzhu also saluted with Gao's family, shouted to Huaida, and stopped talking.

Chief Manager Huai looked Wang Yongzhu up and down, and said, "Since Mrs. and Mrs. Shizi are here, then our family will not waste time." Niangniang has been bored in the palace recently, and I happened to hear that Mrs. Shizi has returned to Beijing, and I want to announce that Mrs. Shizi will enter the palace tomorrow, accompany Niangniang to talk about things outside, and relieve boredom——"

Everyone present understands what it means to happen to hear that Wang Yongzhu has returned to Beijing? Obviously, you summoned people back, okay?

Song Hong said lightly in front of Wang Yongzhu before, how could he not refuse the imperial concubine's wooing.

At this moment, Chief Manager Huai wanted to summon Wang Yongzhu in front of him, and he couldn't really stiffen his neck and say that he wouldn't let him go, right?

I had to give Gao a look.

Gao could only step forward and say, "Niangniang summoned you, that's our blessing." It's just that the wife of our family is the first time to enter the palace to meet Niangniang, I'm afraid there is rudeness, if it collides with Niangniang, it is our sin. Why don't you ask the courtiers to ask someone to teach you the rules of the palace for a few days, and then it's not too late to go to the audience——"

The chief manager smiled: "Our family sees that Mrs. Shizi has learned the rules well!" Besides, the mother has always been generous, even if Mrs. Shizi has any omissions, she will not be counted. Tomorrow, our family will send a car to the house to pick up Mrs. Shizi, and ask Mrs. Shizi to prepare early, don't miss the time! ”

This is not to be refused.

What's more, the carriage was sent to pick up in this palace, which was a rare honor, and even the Gao family couldn't find an excuse to delay and refuse.

Wang Yongzhu was calm, and only nodded: "Please rest assured, Niangniang and Manager Huaida, I will be ready early tomorrow, and I won't miss the hour." ”

Chief Huai showed a look of approval, nodded, and said a few more words: "Mrs. Shizi has traveled a long way, and she has a good night's rest today." Ming'er doesn't have to worry too much when she enters the palace, our mother is extremely kind and pitiful, just relax your mind and Mrs. Shizi! ”

Wang Yongzhu made a blessing gift: "Thank you for the general manager!" ”

The general manager of Huai was relieved at this time, and turned to arch his hand at Song Hong: "Let's pass on the meaning of the mother, and this is the end of the day." It's too early or late, and if you don't go back to the palace, I'm afraid that the palace will be keyed, so let's say goodbye! ”

Song Hong had no choice but to squeeze out a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Then I don't need to stay, Song Wu, send the chief manager back to the palace for me!" ”

Song Wu had already prepared his purse, stepped forward with a smile, and made a gesture of please.

Out of the courtyard door, he stuffed the purse into the hands of the chief manager Huai very old-fashionedly, and the other little eunuchs who followed also gave them their own purse, which was full of heavy silver ingots.

After sending off the chief manager of Huaida, Song Hong's face immediately sank.

Gao saw that this momentum was not right, the palace already knew that Wang Yongzhu was back, and the chief manager of Huai came to pass the word in person, which proved the importance of the imperial concubine in the palace.

No matter how angry Song Hong is at this moment, he can't move Wang Yongzhu.

She was afraid that Wang Yongzhu would say two more words and make Song Hong angry, so she had to break the silence and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law is also tired all the way, go back and rest first, Ming'er will enter the palace again, how can it be good if you don't raise your spirit?" ”

Wang Yongzhu didn't bother to look at Song Hong's face, blessed his body, and turned around.

Before Wang Yongzhu got out of the yard, he heard Song Hong in the inner room who didn't know what he had smashed again, and then Gao's voice of consolation.

When the people waiting in the courtyard outside heard this, they all knelt on the ground.

Looking at Wang Yongzhu walking out without looking back, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Wang Yongzhu walked out of the courtyard, but did not go back, but waited at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and saw that Song Wu had already sent people back.

was about to report to Song Hong, and saw Wang Yongzhu at the gate of the courtyard.

couldn't help but slow down, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to greet Wang Yongzhu.

Wang Yongzhu didn't talk nonsense: "What about the people who came back with me?" Is it all arranged? ”

Song Wu said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui Shizi's words have been arranged in the outer courtyard, and the hot water and hot dishes have been sent to them, and now they have washed and eaten." What do you have to tell Mrs. Shizi? ”

Wang Yongzhu thought for a while: "There is nothing to order, you ask people to go to the Gu family to send a message, just say that I am going back to the capital, but I am not free for the time being, and I will enter the palace tomorrow." After a few days, let them not worry! ”

Song Wu hurriedly agreed, and in front of Wang Yongzhu, he called someone over and asked him to go to the Gu family to spread the word without mentioning it.
