It wasn't like this in my last life

After meeting this time, Song Badai never saw Su Guanyang again. Hearing that Song Liudai said that Master Su was not in good health, Su Guanyang started to take care of the family business and traveled all over the world.

Autumn passed quickly, and when the first spring snow fell, Song Mo Niang seemed to be fully cheered up. Every morning and evening, she went to report to Li Shi, practiced calligraphy with Song Xi Niang, became a female celebrity, and learned tailoring from Second Aunt Niang in her spare time. Clothes and paper-cutting, life is comfortable and comfortable, and the charm and complexion gradually return to the original.

Su Hui still came here often, and the two of them could talk for a whole day, and their relationship was even stronger than before.

Song Badai felt that Song Mo Niang was really relieved, so that he could get along with Su Hui so easily.Song Badai is always comforted in his heart!Thinking back to the time when he just came back, he was quite gloating about this brain-dead second sister, but now he was worrying about her life-long affairs—as expected, his feelings were all out of place.In his previous life, he ended up like that, and it might not be because he closed his heart.

This year passed without any surprises, and even Song and Eight Dynasties clearly felt Li's absent-mindedness.But he could also understand that in less than two months after the new year, the eldest sister Song Xiniang was going to get married.Song Xiniang's wedding date was set in a hurry, and most of the dowry was prepared, and some furniture had not been delivered yet.

Mrs. Li was so anxious that her mouth was blistered, and during the Chinese New Year, she specially invited the second aunt to help, and barely managed to fool this year.Afterwards, she would not allow anyone to interfere with Song Xiniang's affairs, and she stayed up all night to deal with one by one, for fear that something was missing or lack of etiquette, and that when Song Xiniang married, her husband's family would look down on her.

"The wedding invitations have been sent out, and the master personally sent them to my wife's mother's house and a few acquainted in-laws. The items sent by each family have also been put into storage, and the gift lists are all here." Mother Li will organize The good gift list was handed over, and he said: "The large pieces of furniture have been delivered, and the nanmu bookcase, Duobaoge, Huanghuali and even the three-horizontal cabinet will be delivered later today, and the rest of the ornaments, jewelry, antiques and jades are packed. It’s all done, and the list has been made, Madam has a look over it. The old madam must add some more, just add them when the time comes.”

Mrs. Li nodded again and again, took a thick stack of gift lists, looked at them a few times and then became anxious, "When the time comes, does the old lady, the mother who makes the bed, plan to choose one from her side to serve?" He angered his daughter.

Mother Li laughed and comforted her: "The old lady has already chosen it. The lady is really worrying too much. No matter what, the eldest girl is also the old lady's granddaughter. She has done everything properly for the old man. When the time comes The peony and cabbage around Miss Shang are all there."

Sighing again, her face was full of reluctance, "I understand Madam's mood, but I still remember that the girl was such a small person when she was born, and she was going to get married in the blink of an eye..."

Mrs. Li was anxious and worried these days, but she didn't let herself think about it, and tears came out when she heard it.Mother Li deeply regretted her slip of the tongue, "It's not because of slaves, talking nonsense, it is a great blessing for a girl to marry into such a family, Madam should be happy."

The two comforted each other, and finally stopped crying.

By the time everything was ready, the days had slipped forward for more than a month, and it was only a few days before the wedding.Even though she was as calm as Song Xiniang, she was a little restless at this moment.When the old lady called them over to talk, Song Badai noticed that Song Xiniang was distracted from time to time.

The old lady has added two wet nurses and three servant girls here, and because the milk is enough to take care of them, the two little ones are growing fast, their small arms and legs are segmented like lotus roots, and they will turn over in three months. Now I can climb even farther.The third sister, Song Yiniang, was very lively. Whenever she saw Song Xiniang, she crawled over to grab the beads on her temple hair.The maids who served all said that the third sister was intelligent, and she knew makeup, powder and jewelry since she was a child.The fourth brother is relatively quiet, but he laughs whenever he is teased, and has no temper at all.

"Xiniang, come here and sit here." The old lady beckoned Song Xiniang to go, and then looked at the two nannies, "Take the children to the inner room. The second brother and the third brother also go over to help grandma take care of the younger siblings."

Song Badai knew that the old lady had something to tell Song Xiniang, so he obediently followed her in.

Song Qidai took his hand, worry flashed in his eyes.Ever since Song Xiniang got engaged, the old lady had treated her indifferently, as if she was depressed.Leaving her alone at this time, and not knowing what to say, Song Qidai's worries are not unreasonable.

The two looked at each other, and slowly sat down on the bed near the other end of the outer room.

Outside, the old lady flicked the tea leaves, put down the teacup for a while, and sighed, "Xiniang, you have disappointed grandma too much." Before Song Xiniang could answer, she waved her hand again, "Forget it, it's a foregone conclusion, no more It's useless to say these things. Grandma asks you, do you know why the Lin family suddenly wants to marry our family? Just because your two younger brothers have passed the child test?"

Song Xiniang lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the old lady's face, "The granddaughter knows it's not, but I don't know the specific reason."

The old lady nodded, "You are transparent, you should have a better future..." Sighing, the old lady said again: "You should have heard of the Duke Lu's mansion in the capital city, it is our Song family's ancestor, Duke Lu's knee The bloodline is weak, and the only grandson left has been taking medicines since he was born, and it has been a little bad since the year before last, and the visits to famous doctors dragged on until last year, the child is not blessed, and he still went."

Speaking of this, the old lady took a deep look at Song Xiniang, and said, "Afterwards, there were rumors that Lu Guogong planned to adopt a child in the side branch."

Not only Song Xiniang, but even the two people listening to the corner in the inner room were also surprised.Song and Eight Dynasties contacted the cause and effect, and suddenly realized that the old lady had already had this plan when she came back from the capital the year before last. She invited famous teachers to teach, and asked her aunt to teach the rules... There are traces to follow, and her various investments have also been rewarded later. ——Song Qidai was the child chosen by Lu Guogong in his previous life.

In this life, Song and Eight Dynasties changed from the mediocrity of the past, and the old lady also happily gave him a hand.From the old lady's point of view, probably at the beginning, she just wanted one more choice.At the beginning of Song Badai, Cheng Huan only wanted the old lady's help, and it didn't matter whether he used it or not.

In all fairness, Song Badai admired the strategy and means of the old lady.

Here Song Badai was full of thoughts, outside Song Xiniang's face turned pale, and the old lady poked her heart: "The wife of the governor of the Lin family is from the Jingshi family. If you want to find out about this matter, you will know."

Song Xiniang felt uncomfortable, but she hadn't lost her mind yet. She thought for a while and said, "Even if Duke Lu's mansion really intends to adopt him, even if the two younger brothers are very clever, our team may not be fully sure. The governor's bet is too heavy."

The old lady looked at Song Xiniang with burning eyes, with appreciation and more regret.After a while, she shook her head, "It's useless to say these things now." She turned her head and motioned to the mother beside her, "Go and get my little camphor wood box." Not long after, the mother brought a small lacquered box , put it on the table in front of the old lady.

As soon as she opened it, she was full of jewels and treasures. The old lady picked at will, and picked out a set of emerald accessories, white jade inlaid with gold, emerald and white jade dotted with emerald coral and pearl gemstones, as well as gilt copper hairpins, gilt coral hairpins with emerald greens, and jadeite hairpins. Two pairs of Yaoyao earrings and two pairs of white jade round bracelets were packed in small boxes and placed in Song Xiniang's arms.

"This is what your grandmother put on your makeup."

Song Xiniang's eyes turned red, "Grandmother!"

Coming out of the old lady, several people had their own thoughts. After resigning from the eldest sister, Song Qidai and Song Badai had nothing to say all the way.When they reached the intersection, Song Qidai suddenly said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Song Badai rubbed the back of his head, "What grandma said is probably true. But this is also good, if you are adopted by Lu Guogong's mansion, then the governor of Lin's mansion will not dare to underestimate Eldest Sister." In this way, with In my friendship with Song Qidai, whether to be a corrupt official or a profiteer is not a matter of words.

Song and Eight Dynasties thought it was extremely beautiful.

Song Qidai flicked him on the back of the forehead, "Nonsense." After thinking for a while, he said: "Grandma left us there, obviously she didn't intend to hide it from us, I think it's absolutely true. It’s just that the grandmother only said half of it, it seems that there is something else hidden. Since the grandmother didn’t mention it, we have the right to not know it. According to me, if you want to sell the glory of your ancestors, you don’t need to.”

Song Badai was very surprised. He didn't expect Song Qidai to be such a good boy with such integrity.Before he had time to say a word of admiration, he heard Song Qidai go on to say: "Fortunately, the adopted surname is still Song, so it doesn't matter to the ancestors. Lu Guogong's mansion is very prestigious."

Regarding the behavior of the governor of the Lin family, Song and Qidai still cared about it.If it hadn't been done, maybe he would have persuaded Mrs. Li to withdraw from the marriage.

Out of sympathy and reluctance for Song Xiniang, the two ran to her yard early the next morning.As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by the girl next to Song Xiniang, Hanxiao. There were only three people around Song Xiniang, Shaoyao, Kalan and Hanxiao, and he didn't see the other two today.He saluted them with a smile, and said: "The yard is in a mess, the two masters sat in the side hall, and the girl is twisting noodles, so it's not easy to come out."

The two sat for a while, and Song Mo Niang also came.

Envy flashed in Song Momiang's eyes when she saw the red color all over the yard.With a smile, she hurriedly called the little girl to serve some tea and snacks, and Song Mo Niang laughed, "Go and do your work. Today, Shaoyao and Kalan will follow Mother Cui to Lin's house. You are the only one who manages the huge yard, so we won't make any trouble for you."

With a smile, he thanked him gratefully, and then left after talking and joking.

Song Mo Niang led her two younger brothers to look around the cage, and sighed for a while: "There are thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup, the eldest sister is really blessed."

Song Badai comforted her, "Second sister will have that day too."

Song Mo Niang gave him a half-smile and sighed.
