Away from the Lord's Peace.
After everyone in the Pei family left, the courtyard of the Song family, which had been lively for most of the day, suddenly quieted down.
Song Dayong is old, and he is a little tired after being busy for most of the day. After eating some more wine, I felt sleepy. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he was stopped by his eldest son.
Song Dayong retracted his steps, turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
Song Xianchao asked his little girl to signal, "Come here." ”
Seeing that the eldest young master's face was a little unpleasant, the little girl was inexplicably a little flustered, and strange, she didn't do anything wrong.
He walked over and said cautiously, "What did the eldest young master call me?" ”
Seeing her frightened like this, Song Xian pulled a smile on his lips, and said in a slow tone, "Don't be afraid, you tell the master how you came to invite me and what you saw later." After a pause, he added, "Be more detailed." ”
That's what happened. The little girl suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't care about wondering why the eldest young master asked her to say this, so she talked briskly about Fang Cai, "I was talking to Vanilla there, Sister Jin Gui came over and told me, the fourth cousin girl was in a panic, and she wanted to go to the eldest young master's room to find a book to see, and she didn't know which one was interesting, so she asked me to invite the eldest young master......"
I know all this, why did my son call him and say this? Song Dayong was puzzled.
Song Xian motioned for his father to continue listening.
“…… The eldest young master didn't see the fourth cousin when he came out, and I didn't see it either. He asked me where the fourth cousin was, and I guessed she was waiting in the courtyard of the eldest young master. Who knew that when I arrived in the courtyard of the eldest young master, I still didn't see anyone. The eldest young master is looking for ...... there" The little girl felt funny when she said this.
Everyone says that the eldest young master is smart, but he hasn't seen how smart he is. If you can't find anyone, you can go straight to the study. But he passed through the door of the study twice and did not enter. Of course, she only dared to say this in her heart, but the words that came out of her mouth were like this, "...... The eldest young master searched twice and didn't find anyone, so I went into the courtyard to help the eldest young master find it. ”
"I called out to the fourth cousin in the courtyard a few times, but no one answered. I went to the study, but as soon as I walked to the door of the study, the third cousin girl came out of the eldest young master's study with a pale face as if she was chasing her...... "The little girl paused when she said this, and I don't know whether to say the following words, needless to say."
He looked at Song Xian hesitantly.
Song Xian nodded slightly at her.
The little girl's expression was relieved, and she quickly continued, "...... When she came out, her hand seemed to be still clasping......" The little girl said as she gestured to her neck, and then lowered her voice a little embarrassed, and said like a mosquito, "I was still stealing people from her eldest young master's study, and I stuck my head in to take a look, but there was no one inside." ”
Hearing this, Song Dayong, who was originally screwing his eyebrows and listening, and Song Dayong, who had a blank expression, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, this girl .........
"Later, I asked the third cousin, isn't it the fourth cousin girl who invited the eldest young master? Why don't you see the fourth cousin, only the third cousin is there. The third cousin said that she had come with the fourth cousin, and then the fourth cousin couldn't wait any longer, so she left first. She hadn't seen anything like the study, so she looked at it twice......"
The little girl said a little angrily, "These four cousins are too anxious. From the time Sister Jin Gui asked me to call the eldest young master, to the eldest young master to go to the courtyard, I didn't even have the time to make half a cup of tea. Why can't you wait so much......"
Without the little girl's later words, Song Dayong listened to the above alone, and he was still a little unsure. Hearing this, he jerked his head up and looked at the main room.
The little girl was startled by his movements, and her little mouth was open and stunned.
Song Xian waved her hand, and the little girl stepped aside as if she had been pardoned. Song Dayong, who was carefully looking at his chest together, was very puzzled, what was wrong with the master, he suddenly became so angry.
Song Dayong felt confused when he first heard the little girl's words, but it wasn't that he wasn't shrewd enough. But I couldn't imagine that my wife would come up with such an indiscriminate idea in order to get her niece to marry.
As soon as he thought that he had almost made a scandal in his house today, the anger in his heart bubbled out one by one.
At this moment, Pei Mingxia, who had a tired face, came out of the curtain to look at Song Dayong, who was so angry that his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and then looked at Song Xian, who was standing with his hands in his hands, but with a little coldness in his calmness, and said inexplicably, "What's wrong with you two guys?" It's been a busy day, and it's easy to leave, why can't you rest? ”
It turned out to be unaware.
Song Dayong was so angry that he didn't know how to ask her for a while.
Pei Mingxia turned her head and asked Song Xian, "Brother Xian, did you provoke your father?" ”
Song Xian smiled on his lips and shook his head slightly, "No." After a pause, he nodded, "Or so to speak." ”
"That's not the case." Pei Mingxia smiled with a very incomprehensible headache.
"Yes or no, mother will know when you hear it." Song Xian said, looking at Jin Guidao, who came out behind Pei Mingxia with a worried face, "The fourth cousin told you in person, you want to go to my yard to find books?" ”
Jin Gui hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Yes, eldest young master." ”
"Then why is the third cousin in my study?" Song Hyun then asked.
Jin Gui smiled bitterly, "The slave doesn't know this." ”
"I really don't know?" Song Xian took a step forward and asked.
Jin Gui hurriedly knelt down with a "plop" and said respectfully, "Back to the eldest young master, the slave and maid really don't know." As she spoke, she thought for a moment, and then said, "However, when the fourth cousin said this to me, the third cousin was also there. I don't know if she went with the fourth cousin, or if the fourth cousin didn't want to go, so the third cousin went alone. ”
Song Xian smiled, she had already thought of how to deal with it, no wonder her stepmother looked unaware.
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Tell the truth! After a pause, he said, "Whether your words are true or false, you will know when you ask the fourth cousin." Do you believe anything you say?! ”
Jin Gui's body stiffened imperceptibly, and he hurriedly covered it up by kowtowing to the ground, "Young Master, what the slave said is the truth. ”
Even so, Song Xian didn't entangle his teeth with her too much, nodded slightly and said, "Well, okay." Bei'an Town is only fifteen or sixteen miles away, and it will only take half an hour to verify whether you are telling the truth or not. ”
Then he turned around and left.
A trace of panic flashed on Pei Mingxia's face, and she quickly covered up the past, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xian!" ”
Seeing Song Xian turn around, she frowned and went down the steps, although it was a reproach, her tone was very gentle, "What's wrong with you today?" It's just that your third cousin has entered your study, if you don't like it, just don't let her in in the future. Is it worth it for you to go to your third uncle's house and ask your fourth cousin? If this word reaches your second uncle's ears, what will they think? must be thinking that we are biased towards Yan Ya. If you can get into the study, you won't be able to get in. Isn't this a trivial matter that makes relatives unhappy? ”
Song Xian only listened silently.
Pei Mingxia turned to Song Dayong and complained a little, "The master said earlier that you can't favor one over the other. Why do you act like this now, why don't you say a word? ”
This is what Song Dayong said last time after Song Da pushed the boat down the river to send Pei Rao away, when Pei Mingxia chattered.
At the time, he said, "They are the same sisters, and they came together." As a result, we left one and sent one away, what's the matter? ”
Seeing that Song Dayong was still silent, she sighed helplessly, "It turns out that the old man's earlier words specifically referred to not being biased towards the girl, but it won't work when you get to the girl." That is, in the future, I will not call the girl to come to our house. ”
Then she grabbed Song Dayong's arm and said to Song Xian, "Brother Bao's birthday, you've been busy as a brother for a few days, go back and rest." ”
Saying that, he pushed Song Dayong, "The master also went into the house to rest, and I saw that you didn't eat less wine today." Now I can't even stand on my feet. Then he complained, "I was lying in the house, and I was almost asleep, and I woke up again when I heard you talking about the third cousin and the fourth cousin, and what could not be entered." I panicked and hurried up like something, and it was a big deal, and it was this for a long time. ”
As he spoke, he used his hand hard and pulled Song Dayong back to the house.
Song Dayong didn't move.
Song Xian also stood still.
Pei Mingxia smiled helplessly, "You father and son have never seen any battles, so you can take care of such a trivial matter." ”
A smile tugged at Song Xian's lips, "Mother, this is not a trivial matter. ”
Pei Mingxia turned around a little unhappily and said, "Isn't it that your fourth cousin said to go to your study to look for books, but your third cousin went with her." Your fourth cousin can't wait for you, so she left first, leaving only your third cousin. What can be a big deal about this? ”
"The third cousin came out of my study in rags." Song Xian didn't know if she really didn't hear Fang Cai's words, or if she deliberately didn't mention it, just blindly avoiding the important and trivializing. I had to point it out.
Pei Mingxia was stunned for a moment, let go of Song Dayong's arm, and looked at Song Xian with a twisted eyebrow, "Is it true?" ”
If it's true or not, you won't know? If it wasn't your idea, how could Pei Rao be so bold as to act like this?
Qi Ji smiled instead, and Song Xian nodded, "Hmm." ”
"You see?" Pei Mingxia still asked with a look of disbelief.
Song Xian thought of the button that was not buttoned in a hurry, and nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”
Pei Mingxia's expression became suspicious, and she frowned and asked him, "What is the situation?" ”
Song Xian recruited the little girl to let her speak. The little girl had to talk to Pei Mingxia again.
Pei Mingxia smiled, "Maybe I accidentally loosened it." Then he straightened his face and said, "You have always been a person who speaks and acts moderately, so if you have no basis for it, you don't dare to talk nonsense." After all, the reputation of the girl's family is extremely important. ”
Yes, Song Xian's eyes sank and he smiled. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have made this decision.
