During the second period of the year, Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi were not idle.

Yuan Zhi met many royal relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings and talked a lot, while Su Youyi met many royal family members and the wives of the ministers of the court.

Speaking of which, the women of the sect entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, which should be, and others did not expect the Queen Mother.

It's just that the two Song brothers in Kunning Palace are a little suspicious.

Why did those female dependents enter Kunning Palace and talk with the Queen Mother for a long time, but they didn't let his two brothers go over to serve?

Usually the concubines came to laugh, and she always asked their brothers to come out to accompany the guests.

Song Rubai also took a look at the corner of the wall, Su Youyi led the wives to enjoy the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and said that the laughter was so lively, but he didn't mention the words of his two brothers at all.

Song Rumo said that he was worried in vain, "Big brother is confused? When the concubines in the palace came, the Queen Mother naturally didn't care, and was willing to let us go out to talk and laugh with the guests. But those women are all outside, so they can see that there are two male pets in the Queen Mother's Palace, how bad is it to spread it? ”

Song Rubai knew this truth, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Song Rumo looked at his expression, leaned over and asked, "Big brother, are you unhappy because the Queen Mother didn't let you show your face in front of the wives?" ”

"Am I such a stingy person?"

Song Rubai said this, and her heart was a little empty.

He admitted that he did have this idea, but there were some other things, "I think that the Queen Mother doesn't let us show our faces in front of outsiders, which means that she doesn't like us enough." It also shows that she doesn't value us enough to give us an upright identity. ”

When Song Rumo heard him say this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then said for a while: "That nameless person can meet guests in front of the Queen Mother, but he is a guard, not a male pet." Isn't Shousuke going to go right now? The power of the old ministers who oppose our existence in the DPRK and China has been greatly reduced, so isn't the opportunity for us to show up in a dignified manner soon? ”

That's a good point.

Song Rubai nodded, "These days, the Queen Mother ignores the government and politics, let's blow more wind in her ears and let her promote Old Master Su to replace the existence of Zhou Shoufu." If Master Su goes up, are you still worried that no one in the court will support us? ”

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, in the front hall, Su Youyi was asking the two elder wives of the cabinet Xue and Zhao to speak.

These two ladies are very old, and Su Youyi also wants to be called "old lady", it is said that the queen mother is young and likes to chat with young people, and these old wives rarely come to her.

But this time is different, this time it's a New Year's greeting.

The two old ladies originally planned to come to visit and leave, but they didn't expect Su Youyi to be very enthusiastic, inviting them to eat the newly made dim sum in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, and caring about the tastes of the two.

"This jujube paste taro cake is extremely soft and polarized in the mouth. The two old ladies are old, and they probably don't like this, which was specially prepared by the mourning family yesterday. ”

The two old ladies tasted it, and the dim sum in the palace was indeed much more delicate than the outside, and this pastry was not easy to break when it was sandwiched, but I didn't expect it to melt into the mouth as if the snow was melting in the ground.

Old Madam Xue raised her eyebrows, revealing a little surprise, "The Queen Mother is kind, and the old man is really grateful." Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, the old body is good at home on weekdays, but the cook at home is either too soft and brittle to clamp it. Either it's too hard, and the old body can't move. ”

Su Youyi couldn't help but smile and said, "If the old lady likes it, the mourning family will let the cook follow you back to the house in a while, and teach the cook in your house how to make this jujube paste taro cake." ”

Old Madam Xue hurriedly excused herself, but Su Youyi didn't say polite words, and insisted again and again, "Since Zhou Shoufu was gone, it seems to have sounded a wake-up call to the mourning family and the emperor." Although the emperor has always been respectful to the old ministers since he ascended the throne, people, they will always cherish it when they lose. ”

Old Madam Xue was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Old Madam Zhao.

What does the Queen Mother mean by this?

Su Youyi smiled, "Now that Zhou Shoufu has gone, the cabinet belongs to Xue and Zhao, the two elders of the cabinet, who are the most talented. The two elders are the pillars of the court, and the mourning family is full of respect, and so is the emperor. ”

The two old ladies hurriedly got up and saluted, "The Queen Mother is serious." ”

Su Youyi also stood up and helped her two to sit down, both of whom were flattered.

She said: "The two old ladies are invited to sit down, by the way, I heard that there is a son in Zhao Ge's family, and the years of entering the Hanlin Academy are not short." Since he was raised by Zhao Ge himself, he is naturally a trustworthy person. Rushing to Ming'er's mourning family, he told the emperor to let him go to the palace often. ”

Old Madam Zhao hurriedly got up to thank her, and Su Youyi waved her hand, "The mourning family is young, and the emperor is even younger." Although we orphans and widows are in this highest position, there are still shortcomings. This will depend more on the old ministers of the court, especially the two elders, and the mourning family really has great expectations......"

The old man of his own family knows that how many years these two cabinet elders have been in the cabinet are really not the best materials.

In this life, I can mix up the second auxiliary and count it as the top of the sky.

What's more, even if you really have expectations, you should talk to the old man, how can you talk to the two women?

It is said that people are old and fine, and the two old ladies looked at each other, and they figured it out in a few rounds, and they were busy with Su You's loyalty, "Where did the Queen Mother say?" Those who are ministers should do their best and die as they should. The Queen Mother is so kind and favored, we must tell the master of the family when we go back. ”

Su Youyi was relieved when she heard this, and ordered the spring flowers to be rewarded, "Under the New Year's Festival, I heard that your two families have many children and grandchildren, and the people are prosperous. The mourning family has nothing to reward, so let's reward them with some New Year's money, yes. ”

I saw that Chunhua alone gave a large bag of gold and silver bills, and the gold and silver bills made by the palace internal affairs office were different, and they looked particularly exquisite.

There are also gourd-type, bat-type, and peanut-type.

The gold bills rewarded by the palace were taken back and worn with red ropes for the children to tie on their hands and feet, which was a rare blessing.

This kind of reward can be said to be rewarded to the hearts of the two old ladies, when people reach this age, they have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, don't they look forward to the great fortune of their children and grandchildren?

The two old ladies were happy and grateful, and when they left, Chunhua really went out with the cook who made snacks in the small kitchen, and asked Duofu to take him to Xue's mansion.

The cook saluted Mrs. Xue, "The Queen Mother has an order, and she has to teach the cook in your house to allow the slave to come back, the slave is afraid that she will not be able to teach it for a while, so the Queen Mother also ordered the slave to bring some good food, so that Mrs. Xue can still eat." ”

He was holding a food box in his hand, and before he opened it, he smelled the smell of incense, and Mrs. Xue smiled from ear to ear.
