5. Chapter 5

Song Ting's current age is also the time to talk about marriage, Zhao was afraid that she was still thinking about Zhao Cangjie, so he selected a candidate for her early, two years older than Song Ting, the second son of a family, and his character and appearance are not worse than Zhao Cangjie, but in Song Ting's eyes, it is only unsatisfactory.

Zhao Cangjie also knew that Song Ting was married, to be honest, when he heard the news, he was actually relieved, if he said that he was stunned, he didn't feel anything anyway, in other words, between "what to lose" and "relieved", isn't it all about letting go of some possible burdens?

As he said to Song Yan, he is too ordinary, too selfish, and has never been willing to carry other people's lives, and naturally he will not be willing to carry heavier feelings, even if he has been married to Song Yan for more than a year, and he has seen that the child was born in a few months, but there is no deeper and more difficult to give up feelings.

A lot of things that moved Song Yan well, some were by chance, and some were just a kind of compensation, she was so good to herself, but she couldn't reciprocate the same feelings, so she could only take care of her more materially in life.

"Is it because of the child? My cousin has changed a lot. ”

Song Ting's figure is a little thin, time can wear out feelings, before seeing Zhao Cangjie again, she always thought that this person would fade out of her sight from then on and would not see each other again, because she would never admit the identity of the other party's "brother-in-law", just a "cousin", and she could only be a cousin.

"My cousin has also changed, this thinness is really a fair lady, but it's not good to be too thin, girls will be cute when they are fatter. Zhao Cangjie talked to Song Ting with a smile, the two were in the yard, and there were grandmothers and maids next to them, no one felt restrained, but more comfortable, at least Zhao Cangjie was more comfortable, and such jokes were extremely easy to say.

Song Ting was stunned, in her impression, her cousin has always been a little indifferent and gentlemanly, as if he was standing on a mountain looking down on everyone from a distance, that kind of coldness and indifference, as if he was separated from everyone by an invisible distance, and it was precisely because of this that when she was occasionally teased, that kind of smile always made her unforgettable for a long time, and now......

This smile that obviously has temperature and fireworks makes her feel sad, and the person who makes her cousin change is not herself.

Lowering her eyes and precipitating all kinds of thoughts in her heart, Song Ting smiled when she raised her eyes again, and naturally answered: "Cousin Jing nonsense, how can I be fat and cute, everyone says that I am more beautiful than before." ”

"It's beautiful. Zhao Cangjie praised seriously, in his eyes, Song Ting has really grown a lot compared to the little girl who was babbling before, and she has the feeling of being a model, it is hard to imagine that she had recklessly laughed loudly a year ago.

Song Ting smiled again, raised her hand, the silk handkerchief was embroidered with light purple irises, covering the corners of her lips, blocking half of the smile, leaving a little shadow on her face, her eyes moved to the flower garden on the side, a little soft light, like the petals reflected in the bright eyes.

did not continue this topic, Zhao Cangjie always felt that continuing to talk seemed to be teasing, in such an era, men and women must always keep an appropriate distance, not only physically, but also verbally.

So, he also shifted his gaze and looked at the flowers in the flower garden, most of which were managed by Song Yan. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, and he didn't have such a big garden to raise flowers at home, so he naturally didn't understand what the varieties of these flowers were special and how to cultivate them.

But Song Yan, maybe girls love flowers, even if she has never sown seeds with her own hands, she can also say a thing or two to cultivate common sense, so as not to kill the yin-loving ones and water the drought-tolerant ones to death.

Thinking of these things, Zhao Cangjie naturally had a relaxed smile on his face, and then talked to Song Ting about flowers, unexpectedly, Song Ting also knew a lot about flowers and trees.

When Song Yan came out with a big belly to look for someone, she saw Zhao Cangjie turning her head to look at Song Ting with a smile, and Song Ting also had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously the two of them were not standing side by side, and they were still separated by some distance, and there were still many people around, but Song Yan seemed to only see the two of them looking at each other and smiling, and there seemed to be hidden affection in her curved eyes.

It was dark in front of her, Song Yan almost couldn't hold on to her arms, the maid's arm was pinched painfully, and she felt that the nails that were not long seemed to have fallen into the flesh through the sleeves, but she couldn't bear to say a word, she was a maid who followed Song Yan from childhood to adulthood, and in addition to ordinary masters and servants, she had more sincere concern, and persuaded softly: "Didn't Mrs. say that she wanted to find the master, hurry up." ”

The arm used force to support Song Yan's body, the maid's forehead was sweating, and she was hesitating whether to scream to attract the attention of others, Zhao Cangjie had already noticed this, after all, this garden is not big, and there are not many rockery landscapes, and you can see the end at a glance.

"Awake?" Zhao Cangjie stepped forward a few steps to replace a maid and held Song Yan's arm, he didn't deliberately show the intimacy of the husband and wife, just because he was a little worried about Song Yan's body.

In Zhao Cangjie's opinion, Song Yan is pregnant a little early, she needs to take care of her more, and she is afraid that those maids will not have the strength, if she can help, he will always have to help her, even if he does not have too deep feelings for Song Yan, but this woman is giving birth to children for herself, he is not so scumbag, watching her work hard, and it will take a long time for him to sit back and enjoy her success.

This kind of behavior, which was not too intimate in Zhao Cangjie's eyes, was simply poking at Song Ting's eyes, and her heart ached, and she realized that she had never let go of her cousin, but Zhao's careful cultivation this year was not fake, even if she felt very uncomfortable, she was still able to come forward and greet Song Yan warmly with good etiquette.

When she was supported by Zhao Cangjie, Song Yan saw Song Ting's expression, seeing her unfamiliar cover-up, Song Yan's heart felt much more relaxed, and her eyes were a little more clear, raising a smile with the same deep skills, and the two sisters said hello.

"I was talking to my cousin about these flowers, I heard that they were all planted by the eldest sister, which is really rare, but I didn't expect the eldest sister to have such a craft. Song Ting smiled and spoke.

Song Yan's heart seemed to be a thorn, what is called "having such a craft", is it saying that she is low and cheap? Thinking like this, the smile on her face was a little restrained, and said: "I will see, where it will be planted, it will be served by craftsmen, and I will just say two words." ”

Song Ting frowned slightly, feeling that the focus of her words was a little biased, but she didn't want to talk to Song Yan about the ability to raise flowers, so she gave up after a few sentences.

Zhao Cangjie, the wit of the two sisters, didn't hear it at all, only listened to two sentences, and then found an excuse to go to the study. Recently, there was an opportunity to go out, and he was thinking about whether to go out and try it, but Song Yan's situation was not suitable for traveling with him, and the position of Shu Jishi was also made of the face of the Hou Ye.

But Zhao Cangjie really doesn't want to mess around in the "center" anymore, every day is just those trivial things, and he doesn't see where he has contributed to the country. The real big things are never involved, but there are many opportunities to learn from adults, but they all start from small things, and it is still early to be able to feel the power to deal with something.

Such days are really boring, coupled with the isolation and exclusion of colleagues, although Zhao Cangjie is not afraid, but people always live in groups, and it is really uncomfortable not to get the collective recognition, even he has been very depressed this year, and he wants to go out to breathe.

But in terms of qualifications, he naturally has no qualifications to go outside, so that opportunity needs to be fought for, and he is still hesitating whether to fight for it outside, to the local area, to see if he can really do something small for the country that can see the results.

It's always a traverser, and if you can't leave anything, you'll feel a little disappointed in this life.

At the end of the next day, when he went to work again, Zhao Cangjie always thought about this matter, of course he knew that Song Yan's current situation was not suitable for him, but he was very naΓ―ve to think, then it was okay to go first, and it was okay to adapt to it and then pick up people.

In the end, he still doesn't have deep feelings, and when he really encounters this kind of choice, he will always think more about himself.

With this decision, Zhao Cangjie went to find his father-in-law after getting off work. Hou Ye doesn't have to sit on duty, as a noble, unless there is an important court meeting, or some kind of noble must be present at the council, he basically doesn't participate much in the affairs of the court, all the influence on the court comes from some candidates he recommends, or some relationships he has made, and then there is the love left by the ancestors.

For Zhao Cangjie's visit, Hou Ye was a little surprised, but when Zhao Cangjie said what he meant, he still nodded in response, out of macho thought, he did not immediately think of the fact that his daughter was still pregnant, but after nodding his head, he thought that if it could be done, his daughter's current situation could not be bumpy for a long time.

"Uncle, don't worry, if it can be done, it will be the same if I go over first, and I must arrange it before I can pick up my wife and children, otherwise wouldn't I suffer in vain?" Zhao Cangjie said that it was also a common way to deal with it.

There is a time limit for officials to take office, and within this time limit, they must report to the local area, otherwise they will be held accountable, in this case, the comfort of the journey is naturally not considered, although this time limit will not be too harsh, but it is absolutely impossible to go to the same as a comfortable tour.

Therefore, those who have family members usually let their family members slow down later, and they rush over first, and some people who are unwilling to work their wives and children simply leave their wives and children at home to support their parents, and they rush over with their concubines.

When Hou Ye heard this, he thought that Zhao Cangjie couldn't help it, and wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to take a concubine justifiably, but he was embarrassed to say anything, his daughter had been pregnant for a long time, and he couldn't let his son-in-law be single, so he cleared his throat and acquiesced: "Just think about it." ”

Obedient and listening, Zhao Cangjie listened to this and estimated that he could succeed, his face was overjoyed, and he saluted and said: "If it weren't for my uncle to take care of his wife and children, Cangjie would never dare to travel far." ”

Hou Ye nodded slightly, what he liked most about Zhao Cangjie was that he was generous and grateful, so he was willing to take care of him a little more. A son-in-law is equal to half a son, it is rare that Zhao Cangjie is a fatherless than a father, and he treats him well, so he treats himself as a father and often interacts with the Hou Mansion.

Maybe outsiders look a little suspicious, but the person concerned, Hou Ye, knows that Zhao Cangjie is sincere, and he is really like a son.

It is rare, Hou Ye also has some emotional thoughts, and scolded with a smile: "You kid has a slippery head, can I not take care of my daughter." ”

The two of them laughed and settled the matter.

When Song Yan knew about this, the matter had already been completed, and after the appointment from above, it was difficult for her to say a word "no", so she could only pack up for Zhao Cangjie.

Zhao Cangjie also knew that he was cutting first and then playing, so he had to treat each other gently for two days, and then hurriedly embarked on the road to his post, only before leaving, he solemnly entrusted Hou Ye and Zhao again, and told Song Yan Haosheng again, and then left.

Song Yan sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain quite irregularly, and watched the carriage that Zhao Cangjie was riding run away, and several attendants who followed the carriage rode horses, raising dust all the way, and soon blurred the traces of the car.

The handkerchief wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was a little wet, and his face fell.

"Cangjie has a furrow in his heart, he wants to do something, not to study in Beijing, you are also a woman, you should know the man's mind to make contributions, and collect tears, don't be sad, take care of the child in the belly, and when Cangjie is stable, he will take your mother and son over. ”

The Zhao family sent her nephew away, but she relaxed a lot, she still knew about Song Ting's abnormality that day, and later deliberately reduced the time when she took Song Ting over, so that she could prepare for marriage with peace of mind, but her daughter's growing weight was still a little uncomfortable in her eyes, and she was always afraid that when she couldn't see it, the two would cross the line for a while.

The nephew is good, and the daughter is good, but they can't be together anymore, it's better to stay away, so these words she persuaded Song Yan to be the most sincere.

Song Yan thought of Song Ting and nodded, when she settled down, how could it take more than half a year, such a long time, separated by distance, maybe they would really fade.

found that her sister and husband may have ambiguity, Song Yan's mind is depressed, but those little ambiguities sometimes seem to be suspicious of stealing an axe, and she is not good at talking nonsense to others, so as not to damage her reputation, but the thorn in her heart is getting deeper and deeper, and she can't pull it out.

"Mother rest assured, I can save it. Song Yan, who said this, couldn't deceive her heart, four months later, she easily gave birth to a son who was the same as a cat, but she herself would never be able to open her eyes to see.
