Chapter 59: The Song Mansion Changes Hands
Song stretched out her head and looked at it, sure enough, it was Wanfu, and she took a closer look: "It should be here, look at the two lions at the door, they are exactly the same as I remember." ”
"Mother, will it ...... My grandfather and their family moved away? ”
"Wouldn't it? Why didn't they sue me when they moved away? ”
"Why don't we ask first! Gui Ying, you go and ask, was this the Song Mansion before? ”
Gui Ying, who was following the car, responded, stepped forward unhurriedly to say a few words to the porter, and then turned back and nodded to Linglong. Linglong was a little surprised, was it really my grandfather's family who moved places?
Song was a little anxious: "Shuang'er, help me down, I'll take a look." ”
Linglong followed the Song family and got out of the car to ask the concierge: "Little brother, this mansion used to be lived by the Song family, right?" ”
The porter looked at them and heard that they had a Jiangnan accent, so he was a little impatient: "What are you doing?" Kissing? ”
Linglong gave Zhishu a look, and Zhishu stuffed a piece of broken silver: "Little brother, our lady was originally the young lady of this mansion, and she hasn't come back for many years, so I don't know the situation, please tell me what happened in the mansion?" ”
The porter weighed the money, and his attitude was slightly better: "I don't know what happened to the little one, the little one only came to this mansion on an errand eight years ago, and at that time this mansion was already the Ten Thousand Mansion and not the Song Mansion reads;." ”
The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and Linglong asked, "Little brother, do you know where the original owner of this mansion has gone?" ”
The little guy shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Does anyone in that house know?" Song asked eagerly, but the porter didn't answer, and Baba waited for a reward.
Linglong was angry, personally took a piece of silver and handed it over, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, we have a very good relationship with the Liang Guo Mansion, if we can't find my grandfather's family, we will go to the Liang Guo Mansion to stay, I don't know if your master has any dealings with the Liang Guo Mansion?" ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and immediately changed her attitude: "Miss is a distinguished guest of the Liang Guo Mansion?" ”
"It's not a distinguished guest, it's just some friendship."
"Oh, this ...... This...... The little one was offended, and the little one immediately went to the housekeeper. ”
The little girl Fei also ran in, Linglong turned her head to look at Gui Ying inquiringly, Gui Ying said in a low voice: "Miss, these ten thousand families are the uncle's house of the third aunt of the Liang Mansion." ”
"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"Miss didn't ask!"
After a while, the little maid came out with a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man looked at Linglong and his party, and was startled when he saw Gui Ying Guilan, and hurriedly saluted Linglong's mother and daughter respectfully, and invited them to go in to rest.
"Butler, don't bother, let's inquire about the former master of this mansion."
"Miss, are you asking the family that sold the house to my master?"
"Yes, do you know why they sell the house? When was it sold? Where are they now? ”
"Oh, I heard some things from my master, I don't know much, this house was bought by my master ten years ago, I heard that the previous master's surname is Song, and the old man is still a five-grade Guanglu Temple Shaoqing."
Song replied again and again: "Yes, yes, that's my father." ”
The housekeeper looked at her in surprise: "Madame, ...... you?"
"Butler, go on."
"Oh, I heard that the son of the Song family is not successful, he is idle all day long, does not do serious things, and is also infected with gambling, he lost all his family property in a few moments, and he also took bribes by taking advantage of his position.
The old man had no choice, so he sold his family property and the house, exchanged it for silver to make up for the shortfall, and then moved away! ”
Song almost fainted when she stumbled under her feet, Linglong hurriedly helped her to persuade her, and asked Shuang'er and Qing'er to put her in the carriage first.
Linglong pulled the butler aside and stuffed him with a silver ingot: "Butler, is the old man's errand still in charge?" ”
"If something like this happens, it's good not to go to jail, what kind of errand do you expect;! Miss, are you the grandson of the Song family? ”
"Yes, my mother hasn't been back for many years, I don't know what happened here, can the housekeeper know where the Song family has moved?"
"I don't know about this little one."
Linglong was a little disappointed, thanked him and prepared to leave.
"Miss, wait a minute."
Linglong turned around, and the housekeeper said: "Miss, a few days ago, I heard that an old man surnamed Song sent someone to inquire and wanted to buy this house, I heard that the old man is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, I wonder if it will be the person that the young lady is looking for?" ”
Linglong's eyes lit up, "Really? Does he have a name for his address? ”
"No, my master is not short of money, and he never planned to sell the yard, so the man asked someone to ask, but I didn't come, and I haven't seen the small one."
Linglong thought about it, it's good to have some clues, this trip was not in vain.
"Thank you, butler."
"Miss!"
"What else can the butler remember?"
"No, hehe, may I ask what the young lady is with the eldest prince of the Guogong Mansion......"
"Friends only."
Linglong boarded the carriage and left, and the housekeeper stood at the door and watched for a while, and saw Gui Ying Guilan walking next to the carriage.
He remembered clearly, those two maids had been serving by the side of the eldest prince Liang for many years, and they would appear next to this young lady, it seems that the relationship between this young lady and the eldest prince is extraordinary!
But doesn't it mean that the eldest prince is about to get married? What about this young lady......
On the way back, my mother kept secretly wiping her tears, muttering about the impermanence of the world, Linglong felt uncomfortable, the Su family's old house was not used, I originally thought that no matter how bad my mother's family was, how could she help a little, but it turned out to be like this.
See, no one can rely on it, only on yourself.
"Mother, don't be sad, didn't you say that the second uncle is quite promising? More than ten years ago, he was from the sixth grade, so now it should be a fourth or fifth grade, right? Maybe it's better than my grandfather! ”
"What's the use of your second uncle? I'm worried about your grandfather and grandmother, when they are old, your uncle will cause such a big thing, I don't know if they are doing well, whether they are alive or not! It's all my fault that I'm not filial, I knew that no matter how unhappy the lord was, I should come back and take a look! ”
"Mother, don't be too pessimistic, didn't you say that the capital sends you two hundred taels of silver every year? The eldest uncle is a bad person, and he won't give you any money, most of them are sent by his maternal grandfather and grandmother, and the family is suddenly down, and they are afraid that you will be worried, so they don't tell you, right? ”
Song paused for a moment: "Is that so?" ”
"Well, yes, it must be so, mother don't worry, as long as the second uncle is still an official in the court, there must be a way to find him. If I don't go to my grandfather later and ask him for help, he will know. ”
Song suddenly saw hope, and grabbed Linglong's hand: "Okay, Linglong, you must ask your grandfather to help, I don't ask for anything else, just ask your grandfather and grandmother to be safe." ”
