Song Sizong has a very bad reputation in the circle of scholars in the capital, and there are even people like Yuan Junqing who stare at him all the time and scold him. But no matter what his reputation is, he has the qualifications to participate in the spring boudoir. Not to mention the large number of participants in the imperial examination every year, no one will stare at Song Sizong.

Until the spring boudoir was released, Song Sizong's name was hung on the list, and some people thought that it might be the same name and surname. It wasn't until they saw that the back was indeed correct, and everyone suddenly realized that it was really Song Sizong who had been admitted to the Jinshi.

"I've been admitted to the Jinshi ......"

Su Jinqiu's voice was a little fluctuating, it happened so suddenly that she almost forgot the name Song Sizong. As a result, such news suddenly broke out, which was indeed unexpected.

It is not too strange that Song Sizong was admitted to the Jinshi in the name of his talent, but it is strange that he actually went to take the exam.

For so many years, Song Sizong has never taken the test, and suddenly when he went to take the test, he not only passed the test, but also ranked so high. No matter how talented you are, you can't just go to the exam, you must have studied hard for a long time.

Gonggong Wei lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, there are officials in the palace to take care of affairs, and the annual spring boudoir list is definitely to be seen. When he saw Song Sizong's name, he sent someone to tell him.

Although it's not a good thing, when the matter comes out, I have to tell Su Jinqiu about it. And such a big event, you can't hide it if you want to.

"There are some surprises, but there is nothing wrong with it." Su Jinqiu said indifferently.

After the accident, the rest is insensibility. As time passed, the original anger seemed to fade away. She didn't like Song Sizong very much, and she didn't plan to reconcile with him. But Song Sizong was admitted to the Jinshi with her own ability, and she would not feel too angry.

There was no need to curse him, neither did he hate him and wanted to kill him. It is his creation to live well, and it is also his life to live badly.

Gonggong Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, with Su Jinqiu's temperament, he might not be angry, but his face would definitely not look good, and he would kill his father. Now so indifferent, this is her generosity. said that things had no effect on her, and the people who followed and waited didn't have to worry.

Mama Cui next to her was also in a cold sweat after hearing this, seeing that Su Jinqiu's reaction was flat, she quickly changed the topic and said, "The things have been packed up......"

Su Jinqiu looked at himself in the mirror, he was dressed properly, and said, "Let's go." ”

Gonggong Wei hurriedly handed over his hand and helped Su Jinqiu to walk out.

got in the car and went to Hefu, Grandma Mu Si was busy inside and out, she received the news and came over last night. After resting for a night, he got busy, the He family was thin, today is the third wash, Mu Liuniang can't get out of bed, she must come over to take care of it.

"Say hello to the princess." Grandma Mu Si got the news and hurriedly greeted her.

Father-in-law Wei helped Su Jinqiu get out of the car and said with a smile: "The fourth grandmother doesn't need to be polite, my sister washed the third today, and the fourth grandmother worked hard." ”

Grandma Mu Si squinted with a smile, and while letting Su Jinqiu walk into the courtyard, she said: "Where can it be called hard work, the princess has a heart, and she has already sent her mother-in-law over, and I have already packed up by then, but I have come forward to do my best." ”

Su Jinqiu just laughed when he heard it, and said, "It's not easy for the fourth grandmother to run this trip. ”

Mu Siye's family is now settled in Zhili, and it is convenient to come to the capital. However, the fourth grandmother also has a heart, and now she beckons to wash the three, and she must wait until after the full moon wine before leaving.

Mu Liuniang was confined in the dark room, and Grandma Mu Si invited Su Jinqiu to sit down in the main room, and after chatting for a while, Grandma Mu Si said a little hesitantly: "There is a letter from Jiangcheng, saying that the old lady is not very good. ”

Mrs. Mu is Su Jinqiu's aunt and grandmother, no matter how unpleasant they got along at the beginning, now that there is news in Dingcheng, she should tell Su Jinqiu.

Su Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alas, I don't even know at all. ”

Generally speaking, relatives come and go, and happy events, you have to take the initiative to say it, otherwise how can others know. However, the Su Mu family finally made a fuss like that, and no one reported the funeral of Mrs. Mu, so Su Jinqiu naturally didn't know. When it comes to Mrs. Mu's affairs, whether you say it or not depends on the Mu family's wishes.

Grandma Mu Si looked at Su Jinqiu's expression, knew that there was a bit of relief, and hurriedly said: "It's just that I'm sick, and I'm not feeling well, so I didn't dare to alarm the princess." ”

The Su Mu family was originally serious in-laws, but they couldn't open the glue, and they were broken. Su Jinqiu has always been very good to Mu Liuniang, but he is like a stranger to the Mu family. Now that Mu Liuniang is married to the He family, Su Jinqiu continues to interact with the He family, still ignoring the Mu family.

In the eyes of Grandma Mu Si, Su Jinqiu is not a person who holds grudges. The noisy old lady Mu has passed away, and the Mu family has also been divided several times, although it cannot be said that things have changed, at least there are no contradictions. If the two families can resume their friendship, it will be a great thing for the Mu family.

Mrs. Mu is seriously ill, and what will happen in the future. The Mu family took the initiative to send the letter, no matter what Su Jinqiu's reaction was, the Mu family would set up the steps first, and the next thing would be easy to do.

Between the gossip, there were many guests, although the He family had no relatives and friends. General He did a good job, and there were always some colleagues, plus colleagues in the palace. and some of the friends Mu Liuniang met for a year after getting married, and the three offices were lively. Just wash three basins, almost fill the basin.

After the banquet left, Grandma Mu Si sent Su Jinqiu to the door, and Su Jinqiu got in the car and went back.

The car drove out of the He Mansion, Su Jinqiu unconsciously picked up the corner of the curtain and looked out, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, go back to the palace, go to the Su family first." ”

The groom received the order and did not dare to hesitate. Take the road to the west, and go straight all the way to Sufu.

The masters of the Su Mansion are all in the palace, except for a few people who are left to guard them. In addition, the girls who clean up may not be as good as when the master lives, but they will be cleaned every few days, and someone will be sent to renovate regularly. From the outside, it still looks like a grand mansion.

"Princess, slow down." Gonggong Wei helped Su Jinqiu get out of the car, and his words were very cautious.

It was normal for Su Jinqiu to go back to Su's house to see, and she used to come back often. My mother's family, even if there is no one, I should come back to see it.

But thinking about the news about Song Sizong this morning, Su Jinqiu suddenly wanted to go home, but I was afraid that he was not in a good mood. is generous, can let go, and watch the success of killing his father and enemy, no one is in a good mood.

The family members who stayed to watch the house learned that Su Jinqiu was back, and they also hurriedly came to the second gate to pick them up, and asked for peace by the way.

Su Jinqiu's expression was faint, and he waved his hand and said, "You guys go get busy, I'll go for a walk by myself." ”

The mothers-in-law of the Su family retreated, and Su Jinqiu said to the mothers-in-law who followed: "You guys go too, I'll just walk by myself." ”

Gonggong Wei waved them all back, and said with a smile: "I will wait for the princess." ”

"No need, I'll walk by myself." Su Jinqiu said.

Gonggong Wei's face suddenly froze, and he was very worried in his heart, how dare he bring it out on his face, so he had to step aside.

Su Jinqiu walked forward, it was already March day, and the weather today was exceptionally good, the sun was shining, and when he looked up at the sky, there was always a feeling of warmth.

The relationship between regular tidying up, everything in the house is the same. The flowers and plants on both sides are thriving, and there is no trace of defeat.

The truth is...... The Su family is dead.

Thinking of this, Su Jinqiu felt a sense of being stung, and he couldn't help but think of his grandfather, Mrs. Su.

All his life, for the court and the world, he did his best to die. Outcome...... The white-haired person sent the black-haired person, but she never said it, and the sadness and despair in her eyes always made her uncomfortable.

Unconsciously, Su Jinqiu walked to the ancestral hall.

In the first section of the courtyard on the East Road, the Su family ancestral hall has five upper rooms in the black oil fence, with four big characters written on it. Entering the courtyard is the white stone road, the door of the main house is closed, only the four big characters on the door plaque are painted black, so under the warm light, there is still a little cold.

After leaving the pavilion, the ancestral sacrifice has nothing to do with her, and every year Su Huaiyu brings her two younger brothers over to make offerings and sacrifices.

It is said that the sacrifice is to send food to the dead ancestors, and there are no children and no queens, which means that they will become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts in the future, Su Jinqiu does not believe this, but think about the name on the ancestral tree, the inheritance of the family does need a successor.

"I was wrong, very wrong......"

Suddenly, Su Jinqiu was stunned unconsciously, his voice was not loud, and he was a little familiar with a man's voice.

Subconsciously look around, under the sun, everything is quiet.

"As early as the beginning of our acquaintance, you persuaded me to let go, I thought I let go, I thought I was very chic, in fact, I was inferior to anyone else."

It's like talking to yourself, and it's like you're talking to someone. The voice is still not loud, but it is full of sadness, unspeakable sadness, and it makes people's hearts sad.

Su Jinqiu looked up at the closed door of the ancestral hall, and the voice came from inside.

I felt like I was slowing down my steps and slowly walked to the window, which was open. The ancestral hall will not open until the New Year, and this uninvited guest should have entered through the window.

The faint light from the window penetrated in, and the room was still pitch black, white candles were lit in front of the hall, and Song Sizong knelt on the mat in front of him.

At the age of about thirty, it is the golden age of men, although Song Sizong is not old, he already has gray hair between his temples. Looking from the side, I saw that his eyes were attentive, especially his waist was straight, like a bow that was about to be full, and his whole body was full of momentum.

collided with Song Sizong several times, and at this time he was completely different, and he felt reborn.

"I'm too embarrassed from a background, and many people laugh at me behind my back, only you, who really treat me as a friend. I remember a time when you always talked to me about the Dharma. At that time, I didn't understand, I thought too much, and I had too much to do. I thought that if I proved myself to the world, I would be able to escape the inferiority of my family background, and I would be able to ignore the jokes. I was wrong, I was really wrong, no matter how much I proved myself, I couldn't change where I came from, I couldn't change what was already predestined. ”

"I've been running away all these years, trying to prove myself, escaping my origins. And after you died, I went away to escape the condemnation of the world. On this trip back to Beijing, I finally understood that the circumstances of my life are determined by heaven, and they are part of fate, and there is no need to deny it, nor do I need to suffer because of it, let alone care about the eyes of others. I always remember that you took my hand and said, I don't blame you, I want to live well. I promise you that I will live well, no matter how much I have to carry in the future, no matter how many infamy and jokes there will be, I will not run away from it. ”

"I owe you a life, you don't let me pay it back with my life, I will carry this guilt and do my best to make amends."
