Linglong also held Song and persuaded: "Mother, don't cry, you see, my grandmother's eyes are so bad that you cry; ”

Hearing this, Song quickly wiped his tears, stood up and supported his grandmother with both hands, his voice was still choked: "Mother, you ...... Are you okay with your old age? ”

Grandmother wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Okay!" It's all good, I'm just waiting to see you! Liniang, if you don't come back, maybe you won't see my old woman again! ”

When Song heard this, the tears that he had finally stopped flowed out like a stream.

The second aunt said angrily: "Mother, look at what you said, if this continues, my sister will be able to cry and faint before she enters the door." Come on, sister, I haven't seen you for many years, do you remember me? ”

Song's eyes were red, and he nodded while sobbing: "Second sister-in-law, you have worked hard all these years!" ”

"Hey, the family doesn't talk to each other, oops, this is ...... Dexterity or dexterity? ”

"Linglong meets the second aunt!"

"Ouch, what a well-behaved child, come on, do the second aunt a favor, help your mother into the house, let's go in and sit and talk slowly, ah!"

"Please also ask the second aunt to lead the way!"

"Okay, come with me! Mother, don't be sad, let's go, let's go into the house and talk slowly! ”

This Song Mansion is not big, it is not as good as Linglong's Su Mansion in Jiangzhou, it is said that there are three entrances, in fact, there are not many rooms for each entry, and there are only about twenty rooms in total, and there are no gardens, gardens in gardens, etc., so they soon arrived at the second guest hall.

Everyone sat down, the grandmother and mother Song still hadn't woken up from the excitement, the second aunt glanced at Linglong's mother and daughter, thought about it, and said with a smile: "That's right." Sister, Linglong, come to meet a few naughty people in my family. Come, Qiao'er, Mei'er, come here! “

The second aunt beckoned, and two delicate girls dressed as young ladies walked in outside the door, and their faces were extremely similar to the second aunt, but they were different in age.

The two came to the second aunt. The second aunt caressed the faces of the two daughters lovingly. turned to Linglong's mother and daughter: "This is my Qiao'er, fourteen this year, this is Mei'er." It's just over ten years old, Qiao'er, Mei'er, hurry up and give your aunt and cousin a gift. ”

The two little girls came over to greet them obediently, and Song quickly wiped the corners of his eyes. Take out the gifts that have been prepared a long time ago and put them in their hands: "Good! Well, my aunt didn't prepare anything. Let's play with these two gadgets! ”

Of course, my mother was just polite and modest, it was a fine jewelry picked from Liangyufang, and it was by no means a gadget that could be bought anywhere.

After thanking the sisters, they retreated to sit down beside their second aunt, and Mei'er immediately opened the box and looked at it. Seeing that there was a pair of finely crafted gold silk inlaid white jade hairpins, she happily held it in her hand: "Wow! Something from Liangyufang! It's beautiful! ”

The second aunt took a look and saw that the hairpin was in excellent condition. There was also a mark of Liangyufang below, and she was also a little surprised: "Sister." What's so embarrassing about such a valuable thing? Oops, I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare a greeting gift, so what should I do? ”

"No need, the second sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite, it's good that you have this heart.

Second sister-in-law, I also prepared some fabrics, jewelry, ornaments, etc., just outside the carriage, this is a gift list, and please ask the second sister-in-law to let the housekeeper take over the inventory! ”

The mother presented the gift list with her own hands, and the second aunt took it and glanced at it, and she was even more surprised.

She knew that her sister's sister-in-law was in Jiangzhou weaving, and she had always heard that it was a fat difference, and she was not so rich, and she was so rich.

"Sister, so much, how embarrassing? This ......"

"The second sister-in-law doesn't have to excuse herself, this is not for any one person, my father and mother, my two brothers and sisters-in-law, and my nephews and nieces all have a share, just to bother the second sister-in-law to give a share, don't miss anyone."

The second aunt's face was a little strange when she heard this, she turned her eyes to look at her grandmother, and saw that her grandmother had begun to wipe her tears, and Song also noticed it, and got up and walked to her grandmother's side: "Mother, my daughter is back, aren't you happy?" ”

"Rejoice! Glad! It's just that...... Liniang, you're late to come back, and I can't see your father and your eldest brother! ”

Song Liniang was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What the? Mother, what do you say? ”

The second aunt asked the maid to bring a chair over for Song to sit down, and she herself walked to Song's side: "Sister, don't worry, listen to me slowly, old man...... He died 10 years ago! ”

"Ten years ago! At that time, my father was only in his early forties, how could he suddenly die of illness? ”

"Alas, this matter is a long story, let's not talk about this today, okay? Sister, you see, my mother is not in good health, but she is talking about you every day, why don't you accompany your mother first, how about we talk about those things slowly in the future? ”

Song's heart hurts, the Song family's heirs are thin, the eldest brother, the second brother and his three children, he is the only daughter and the youngest in the family, so her father has always loved her.

When Su Fu came to propose, his father was not happy when he heard that he was a concubine, if it weren't for Linglong's father Su Bingren's good studies, he was a jinshi at a young age, and his father would definitely not agree.

"Sister, okay?" The second aunt saw that she was distracted, so she asked again.

"Huh? What the? Song looked up blankly, and his eyes were a little dull.

"Sister, are you alright?"

"Nope! I'm fine, it's just ...... Some dizziness! ”

"Second aunt, we only got your news last evening, my mother was happy all night, she didn't sleep well last night, she must be tired, and asked the second aunt to help make a room to come out, so that my mother can rest?"

"Okay, just tidy up the guest room, sister, come, I'll send you to rest!"

Song didn't refuse, stood up and walked two steps and then stopped and turned back, "Mother, my daughter will rest first, and then come back to accompany you later?" ”

Grandmother waved her hand with tears in her eyes: "Go, go, go!" I'm not in a hurry. ”

After settling down in the Song family, Linglong followed the second aunt back to the guest hall, so that he could finally calm down and talk about the past ten years.

Of course, the second aunt was not in a hurry and told the story in detail, and the grandmother just sat with her eyes half-closed, as if she was asleep.

Fifteen years ago, the Linglong family went to Jiangzhou with his father to take office, and at the beginning of his tenure, there were often letters between the two sides, and later, as the rumors heard before, the Song family suffered a great disaster because of his uncle Song Tongmi's dereliction of duty and greed for public funds.

At that time, the Song family panicked and begged people everywhere to find a relationship, and the first thing they thought of was to ask for help from Su Qichang, the father-in-law of the then minister, who was Linglong's grandfather.

But they went to Su Mansion three times and twice were stopped by the Su Mansion gatehouse, and the grandmother was anxious, and personally prepared a generous gift to visit, and this time the old lady of the Su family, Ye, received them reads;.

However, before my grandmother could speak, Mrs. Su did everything she could to scream and be powerless, so that my grandmother had nothing to say.

At that time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family was the current aunt Zhu Shi was still talking coldly on the side, complaining that Linglong's family was a concubine, Linglong's father stole the old man's seal letter and took away the family property, and then the Su family went to great lengths for his errand, but Linglong's father Su Bingren was a white-eyed wolf, and he scolded his mother-in-law Ye before taking office, and also claimed to have severed relations with the Su family.

So, even Linglong's father, Su Bingren, is not from the Su family, what does Linglong's mother's family matter to their Su family?

My grandmother was so angry that she spit out a mouthful of blood, but Mrs. Su didn't say anything, and pretended to let Zhu send her off.

Of course, the Song family suffered this time, and the Su family did not help half of it, and it is said that Su Bingquan, the boss of the Su family, also secretly fell into the well and secretly reported to his colleagues who handled the case.

Therefore, the Song family accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts during that incident, and they made up their minds that even if they died, they would not come to the Su family again, which was completely self-inflicted.

Because of this incident, the correspondence between the Song family and Jiangzhou is getting less and less, first, I don't know what to say or how to say, and secondly, the Song family is declining, and they can't take care of their own affairs, how can they have time to tell Song Liniang, who is thousands of miles away, these things, and in the long run, the correspondence between the Song family and Jiangzhou will gradually be broken.

Linglong had already prepared for this, and the words of the second aunt also solved her doubts.

"Second uncle, is my grandfather really sick?"

"This ......" the second aunt looked at her grandmother, who still closed her eyes and did not move, and the second aunt sighed softly:

"Alas, there has been a great change in the family, the old man is overworked, and your uncle is ...... Alas, don't talk about that, but the old man has been talking about your mother and your sisters before he died, and he was still talking the day before he went: I don't know if the dexterous girl and the Linglong girl have grown up, and whether they recognize him as an ancestor! ”

Linglong's eyes were sour when she heard this, although she had never seen this grandfather, she could feel that he was a kind and gentle old man.

"Silly girl, don't be sad, it's been many years, your grandfather must have found a good family to reincarnate a long time ago!"

Linglong lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and asked, "Second uncle." Where is my uncle's family now? ”

"He~! Alas, when he lost all his family property, the old man tried every means to exonerate him, and finally got him out of prison, but a few days after he came out, he went to gamble again, the old man was so angry that he vomited blood, and directly cut off the father-son relationship with him, and let him talk to the outside world, and his affairs have nothing to do with the Song Mansion in the future.

Later, I don't know where he went, but within a month, I heard that he was chased and thrown into the river......"

The second aunt was in a panic for a while, and she couldn't talk anymore, and the rest of the things can be imagined, and Linglong didn't ask again.

"By the way, second aunt, there is one more thing, since you didn't send a letter to Jiangzhou, but my mother said that she would receive two hundred taels of silver every year, didn't you send it?"

"Yes, I sent someone to send it, isn't there some Zhuangzi shop for my sister to marry? The deed of the house is placed here by the mother, and for the sake of the eldest brother, the mother sold most of it, and there are only a few left.

After the matter calmed down, I took it upon myself to rent out the shop, and the annual rent was sealed and sent to Jiangzhou, but the Zhuangzi is now living in the sister-in-law's family, so there is no income, Linglong, your mother won't blame me for this, right? (To be continued)
