It wasn't like this in my last life

The Eight Dynasties of the Song Dynasty only knew that there was a guest in the front, and when the old gentleman above came down, he didn't dare to have any messy thoughts.The old man told them Volume [-] of "Sancang", and after finishing the lecture, he chose a topic of current affairs and ordered them to write a policy discussion.The two of them had just finished researching ink, when someone came to invite them, the old gentleman also knew him, and he was the kid next to Song Lao, so he immediately gave the two of them a leave of absence.

"Master said there is no rush, the two masters can change their clothes before going over."

Song Qidai glanced at him, "Does father have any other orders?"

The boy was also clever, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "There is nothing else, I just heard that it is a distinguished guest from the capital, the master is very polite."

Song Qidai rewarded him with broken silver, "Please take this trip and tell father that we will be there soon."

When the boy walked away, Song Qidai's eyes darkened a bit, "It seems that what grandma said is true out of ten."

The Song and Eight Dynasties also had this guess, but compared to the ambitious Song and Seven Dynasties, he was more of the joy of the "chicken and dog" in "One Man Gets the Way and the Chicken and Dog Ascend to Heaven".

After the two changed into more gorgeous clothes, they went to the study to meet the guests.In the study room, apart from Father Song, there was also an old man over half a century old, dressed in luxurious clothes, with deep eyes.Behind him stood a young man, probably a guard, with a stern face.

"Uncle Zong, this is the second brother and the third brother." Father Song politely introduced to the old man in front of him, and Song Qidai and Song Badai hurried up to greet him.

The old man's eyes stayed on Song Badai for a moment, then turned his head to Song Qidai, looking carefully.Song Qidai was very handsome and tall among children of the same age. Standing there, he had a majesty that could not be ignored.The Song and Eighth Dynasties saw the old man sizing him up with a look of satisfaction on his face, and he suddenly felt full of pride and pride.

The old man mentioned some current politics, economics and history, and Song Qidai answered fluently. The old man nodded and looked at Song Badai, but said, "You can also say a few words." The question is not difficult, Song Badai also answered, Although some views are completely different from those of the Song and Seven Dynasties, they are reasonable and unique.

The old man seemed a little surprised, and his face softened a lot, "The two children of my nephew are well educated." After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Please tell the old lady that we still have some things to deal with. Five, let's go to the mansion to bother again, and we will find out by then."

Father Song agreed, and kept the guests for dinner again and again, but the old man just refused, "I have something important to do, and my nephew is kind enough to accept it." Except for the old man and the guards behind him, the rest of the entourage also did not drink, As soon as the old man appeared, everyone bowed and saluted, their movements were in unison, like a well-trained army.

Sending off this big Buddha, Song Badai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with emotion: "This is the legendary Lu Guogong?! It's really majestic."

Father Song laughed loudly and rubbed the top of his head, "It seems that you all know?! But, who told you that he is Lu Guogong? Lu Guogong has a noble status, how could he condescend to come to our small place! This is A Zongbo of our Song family, today is just a face-to-face meeting, which is only the first level. Although the blood of the Song family is weak, the collateral line is flourishing. People who want to eat this big cake just like us There are many. Go, go to your grandmother."

The old lady was waiting for them, the father and son went in and washed their hands, and after filling some snacks and fruits prepared by the old lady, they told the whole story.The smile on the old lady's face remained undiminished, and she remained calm when she heard the words left by Uncle Song, "The fifth day of next month? There are still twenty more days left, don't be in a hurry."

After recruiting two grandchildren, the old lady said slowly: "You heard it in the wing room that day, and grandma will tell you about it in detail today..."

Before Lu Guogong was granted the title, the Song family was already an upstart family in the capital.The Song family has produced military generals for generations, and the generation of Duke Lu was able to be knighted for military merit, but the price is too high.The Song family's direct blood is passed down from generation to generation, and Lu Guogong's son also went to the battlefield shortly after he got married. In the future, he died in battle before he could see his family.The newlywed wife gave birth prematurely when she first heard the bad news. The baby weighed less than five catties and has been inseparable since then.It's a pity that Lu Guogong's golden grandson couldn't survive in the end. It's really sad that such a big country's mansion has been reduced to the fate of relying on adoptive collateral to continue.

The old lady sighed, then lowered her head and touched Song Badai's little face, "This time, Duke Lu invited several uncles of the Song clan to run separately, just to find the most suitable child for adoption. So not only here, but other The side branches of the locality will also go. The Zongbos will pick the right ones and send them to the main family, and then it will be decided by Lu Guogong."

Song Badai remembered that Song Qidai was indeed sent to the capital in his previous life, so he should be elected in the end, right?When the old lady said this, he became a little uncertain. After all, it sounded like the competition was quite fierce.

Seeing him frowning, the old lady comforted them and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Isn't Zongbo very satisfied with you today? Grandma also has confidence in you, and our children are all very good. Okay, here's It's not urgent, don't worry about it, go play with Aqiao and the third sister, the fourth brother is asleep, don't wake him up."

The old lady seemed neither arrogant nor impetuous, and Song Badai really couldn't figure out what she was thinking.The last time Song Xiniang asked this question before she got married, the old lady also avoided answering it. Could there be a reason why they didn't know about it?

Song Badai was dragged away by his second elder brother Song Qidai in a daze. In the wing room, Aqiao was teasing the third sister with a silk flower. She hugged him back so as not to disturb him.Song Wanqing only gave birth to three daughters, and she dreamed of having a son. The fourth brother was so cute, she couldn't bear to let go of the fourth brother when she hugged her.

After seeing the ceremony, the two brothers of Song and Eight Dynasties stood aside somewhat cautiously.

Song Wanqing liked Song Qidai quite a lot, she called Aqiao and said, "This is your second cousin and third cousin, I've met them before, hurry up and say hello."

A-Qiao hid in her mother's arms and refused to come out, she only watched them secretly from the corner of her eyes.Song Wanqing didn't criticize her, but changed the subject and said, "Second brother is so handsome, your father said that it's good for you to study, so how about teaching your cousin Aqiao to learn calligraphy when you have time?" Then she lowered her head to tease her daughter, "Aqiao is so cute. Second cousin?"

Song Qidai was full of uneasiness, and he prevaricated a few words, but it happened that Father Song outside called someone to look for them, and they slipped off.

After coming out of Jingtang, Father Song went back to the main courtyard. Song Qidai patted Song Badai's head and said, "Don't worry about it, Second Aunt just can't turn around. It's turned upside down..."

Only then did Song Badai realize that Song Wanqing had almost turned a blind eye to him just now, Song Qidai was afraid that he would think too much, and this was to comfort him - his second brother is really a caring little padded jacket.

"I didn't worry about it. But second brother, where did you hear these messy things? You should inquire about the affairs of the second aunt's house? Let father know that beating you is light."

Song Qidai pinched his cheek, and said arrogantly: "I heard it from my mother. I will tell you about it. If my father knows it, you must have said it."

"Easy, light..." The gap in force forced Song Badai to calm down, "I'm not the kind of person who waits to talk. But second brother, our second aunt is a bit strange, I'll see if she wants to match you up With Cousin Aqiao?" It's too common to kiss more and more.

"Nonsense." Song Qidai glanced at him, "I'll let my father know that beating you up is light." Come on, this narrow-minded guy.Song Badai shut up obediently, but in his heart he felt that his guess was so out of ten.His second brother, Song Qidai, is so good, even if he can't compete with the grandson of Lu Guogong, the labor son, he can still get fame and fame with his talent, and make his ancestors shine.

With his own little thoughts in mind, Song Badai walked away with his feet wandering.

Song Badai really guessed it right, Song Wanqing really had such an idea.

In the Jingtang, Song Wanqing served the old lady for dinner. When the mother and daughter sat down and chatted, Song Wanqing couldn't help mentioning her thoughts to the old lady.

"The troubles in my family are terrible. My mother knows better than others. Now I am the head of the family and dare to bully me. What will happen when those bastards grow up? There is no hope at my age. I just hope that my three daughters will live better, and I will have hope for the rest of my life." Song Wanqing wiped her tears as she spoke.

The old lady sighed, but shook her head for a while, "If the second brother's matter is settled, I'm afraid his marriage will not be up to us to decide." After a moment of hesitation, the old lady changed her words again, "Look again Well, the children are still young, if... it is not impossible."

Song Wanqing's face brightened, she knew the old lady's temper well, and knew that her heart had softened a little, so she stopped being stubborn and changed the subject with a smile. "In the past few days, I have seen Mo Niang concentrate on copying the scriptures, and she is really dedicated to worshiping the Buddha. I think this girl should be enlightened after this experience. Why doesn't mother give her a hand?"

These words really touched the heart of the old lady. She nodded and said: "I've been thinking about finding a suitable family these days. It's better to be from other places, so as not to hear any gossip. The family is better off, and the children are rich. Be honest, and it will do.”

Song Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled, "It's still mother who loves her. When you said that, I remembered that I used to give Zhou Yanfang a handkerchief. It turned out that she married Fengtian, but unfortunately her life was not good. Her husband died of illness just after the marriage. She didn't want to be seen, so she simply went back to her natal family in Licheng. We met this time, and she asked me to help her natal cousin find a girl from a good family."

"Zhou Yanfang... the Zhou family?" The old lady nodded when she remembered this person, "The Zhou family has a good family style, but who is her natal cousin?"

Song Wanqing smiled, "I can't tell, she has nothing to do with her, why don't I call her here. Mother can ask anything she wants, so that I won't go wrong with the message."
