Chapter 050: Gifts and Exchanges

As usual, Song Han's family can now live in the back house of the mansion, but Mrs. Song, who has not seen her son for many years, wanted to return to the inn temporarily when she learned that the current prefect's family was still living in the back house of the house, hoping to enjoy the joy of family reunion without interruption, and also get along with her grandchildren who met for the first time.

How do you know that the current prefect, who has eaten too much wine, insisted on pulling Song Han and holding on to it, taking a bite of "Brother Song", so that Song Han couldn't shirk it, so he had to personally return to Mrs. Song after the carriage entered the Qiantang Gate, and let the carriage go directly to the direction of the mansion.

So the carriage carrying Mrs. Song, Song Rumu and others, followed by the carriage that pulled Song Han and the current prefect Chu, and soon came to the Hangzhou Mansion.

Song Han habitually wanted to handle the handover with the current prefect Lord Chu immediately, but he didn't know that Lord Chu had just eaten too much wine in the outer building, and after returning to the mansion, he was so drunk that he couldn't work at all.

No, Song Han had to let Hou be in front of the mansion, waiting for his many subordinates to pay homage to him, and together with him, he would bring Lord Chu, who had been pulling him all the way to call him a brother and brother, into the back house of the mansion.

It wasn't until the chaos was over that Song Han vacated the space and ordered Song Laosi, who was waiting in the concierge, to bring a few errands to help go to the inn to retrieve the old lady's salute.

After Song Laosi took people away, Song Han took Song Xiaochuan into the back house, and heard that a group of female dependents were chatting happily in the front hall.

Song Han, who was very pleased, saw from a distance that the old lady Song, who was holding a pair of children, had no displeasure on her face, and wanted to step forward to talk to her mother, but because several ladies of the current prefect's family were also there, and his body was really lacking from the recurrence of his old disease, Song Han eliminated the idea of coming forward to say hello, took Song Xiaochuan, found the small courtyard sorted out for them, and said hello to Hongxing, who was cleaning here in advance, and came to the recliner in the study to lie down, ready to rest for a while.

Song Han, who was in a daze, closed his eyes and thought about what he saw when he was outside the building, thinking about the student Lu Yixuan, who had not seen him for two years, and his grandfather Lu Batian, as well as the information revealed in Lu Batian's words when he sent him out of the building, Song Han's heart couldn't help but be amused and helpless.

All because Lu Batian revealed that he was supposed to return to Beijing this time to report his duties, but Guozhang suddenly wrote for some reason. In the compromises presented above, it is stated that he Song Han has made scorching political achievements in the past few years, especially Fuyang County, which has become a large county of Shangliang under the care of his Song Han, so it is a pity to transfer him back to the capital. It is hoped that the imperial court can promote Song Han to the prefect of a state on the spot in line with the principle of knowing people and making good use of them, and use his talents to alleviate the food shortage caused by the imperial court's mobilization of troops over the years.

The emperor, who was already in trouble caused by the movement of troops at the border from time to time, and had a headache, was a dragon face after reading the chapter, and praised the emperor for being able to give up the temporary battle of will, so he was so dedicated to the sake of the imperial court, and agreed to the proposal of the emperor on the spot, and ordered other officials to learn from the emperor.

As a result, the competition for the prefect of Hangzhou was put to rest by the book of the national abbot.

And according to Lu Batian's guess, I am afraid that the vacant position of the squire in the Ministry of War is what the national abbot finally wants. In addition, the current prefect, that is, the nephew of the same sect of the abbot, is the only official in the Chu family who has some talent and some qualifications.

Song Han, who understood that Lu Batian explained these things to him, was all because Guozhang's actions involved the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War has always been under the jurisdiction of Lu Batian, and it must have been Lu Batian's loss, so he pointed out to him Song Han that he was just a chess piece that Guozhang used to back his back.

I thought about it for a long time, I never thought that Song Han, who would one day ascend to the temple, didn't want to waste a little bit of thought about the struggle for rights in the court.

Thinking like this, Song Han's heart became steady, and soon he slowly fell asleep with a smile, and in his dream was Song Han in the drizzle of purple sycamores, frolicking with their lovely children.

In the front hall, a group of female dependents also continued to talk and laugh, but they did not find the two prefects in the back house, and they were all gone.

"That year~ When their parents went to Fuyang, this Mu girl was just a milk doll, and now she has grown into a little girl like a flower...... Old lady, you are really blessed to have such a pair of grandchildren who are like treasures and jade, and envy us others. Mrs. Chu, who was sitting in the two main seats with the old lady Song, got up and pulled the Song sisters and brothers, and while boasting to the old lady, she carefully looked at Song Rumu, the little doll who was held in the arms of Song Han and his wife who came to Hangzhou for the first time.

And the two concubines who were sitting on the side seat of Lord Chu raised their eyebrows and smiled when they kept looking out of the door.

"Mrs. Chu, don't praise them, these children are not boastful, a boast...... It's not good. Some small prejudices that Mrs. Song originally had in her heart, but with a few kind words from Mrs. Chu, they finally came to naught, and the more she looked at these two sisters and brothers, the more she liked them.

"What the old lady said is that we envy the well-behaved and sensible two children of Lord Song's family, who speak and act like little adults, so we can't help but always want to praise a few words, and the old lady has to forgive me!" Seeing Song Rumu bowing her head and smiling lightly, Mrs. Chu couldn't help but start praising again.

On the contrary, Mrs. Song may have been accustomed to it for many years, but she has been listening with a smile and a word, and occasionally she will pick up a sentence or two.

It's just that Mrs. Chu couldn't stop as soon as she started talking, and after a long time, it was the one who sang, and everyone was afraid that they were tired of hearing it, so everyone present secretly yawned, and the two concubines of Lord Chu became even more impatient, and successively drove the little girl around her out of the house.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, and Song Rumu, who had been secretly looking at Mrs. Chu, naturally had a sense of familiarity with Mrs. Chu, who she had met when she was still an infant. Thinking that this Mrs. Chu used her previous enthusiasm to persuade Song Han to agree to invite a nurse for her in Hangzhou, so that she had the fate to meet Mother Wu's family, Song Rumu couldn't help but smile and said to Mrs. Chu who hugged her: "Aunt Chu...... Do you remember when you found a nurse for Mu'er? ”

Mrs. Chu, who heard the words, was stunned and thought about it for a long time, then she said, "Ah~", clapped her hands and said: "That's right, no wonder I always feel that there is something in my heart that I can't remember, it turns out to be this!" Alas~ Old lady, don't you know, the Mu girl who was held at that time was so big, her mother gave birth to her, because she was too tired to milk, so she had to let her eat rice paste, which was really pitiful! I couldn't stand it at the time, so I asked someone to find a good nurse, and it was a shame that Mu Yatou still remembered it."

Mrs. Chu, who thought that Song Han told Song Rumu about this, didn't know about the past of the family, but she was afraid of provoking Mrs. Song's sadness, so she tried to avoid mentioning Song Han's family.

Old Madam Song, who only nodded and didn't reply before, realized that Song Han had hidden Song Rumu's identity from everyone after listening to Madame's words clearly, so Mrs. Chu said what she said now, so she could only continue to listen, hoping to learn more about her son's unknown to her from Mrs. Chu's words.

After another cup of tea, until the girl who had been kicked out came back and muttered a few words to the concubine, the two concubines got up and went out to confess.

As soon as Mrs. Chu saw it, she also drove the girl out, and later the girl rushed back and said something, so Mrs. Chu hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Song, but she didn't forget to leave a housekeeper to help Mrs. Song arrange things.

Song Rumu, who was beside Mrs. Chu, vaguely heard that it was Lord Chu who was drunk, and he was drunk and chased after the girl in the room, so he felt sympathy for Mrs. Chu, who was talking about her interest but had to leave in a hurry.

The housekeeper who was left behind, seeing that everyone's faces were tired, hurriedly invited Mrs. Song and the Song sisters and brothers to go to the small courtyard to rest.

After Song Xiaosi's mother waited for the somewhat sleepy Mrs. Song to lie down, Song Rumu took Song Nianzhi out of the room, and followed the housekeeper outside the door to her and Song Nianzhi's room.

Song Rumu, who returned to her room, after laboriously cleaning up the room with Chayu, caught a glimpse of the tired Chayu lying on the table and falling asleep, thinking that the little girl had also been running back and forth for a day, so she woke up Chayu and let her go to bed to sleep.

It wasn't until Cha Yu closed his eyes and groped his way up to the chuang that Song Rumu stretched down and paced under the cloister in the courtyard.

The beauty sitting under the eaves of the porch leaned on, looking at the huge exquisite courtyard, thinking of the old lady Song who had a good impression when she first met, Song Rumu, who had been nervous for a few days, couldn't help but sigh, and said in her heart, "It seems that this grandmother doesn't care about my existence, at least now this is the most ideal result, if this grandmother has to be more serious, I'm afraid my good days will come to an end." ”。

Later, Song Rumu, who was sighing again, didn't notice Song Nianzhi, who was returning to the room, and was opening the door and walking towards her, just thinking about it, I wonder if Song Han is still busy preparing for the handover now? I didn't have a good rest, and I sighed that this illness came at an inopportune time.

And Song Nianzhi, who had just been served by Cha Xiang to wash his hands and face and change into a purple embroidered robe, stopped not far away, looked at his sister who was sitting on the top of the beauty, shook his head and sighed, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”。

A burst of freshness, with the aromatic smell of children, made Song Rumu look back and smile: "It's nothing, I just want to know where my father is now, and whether he has a good rest." ”

"Woo~~ Sister Chaxiang just said that my father came back very early, and now I am resting in the study." , Listening to Song Nianyi, Song Rumu completely relieved her heart, looked at Song Nianzhi whose sideburns were wet with water, and helped Song Nianzhi twist off a drop of water stains that were not wiped clean, and smiled pityingly: "Then why don't you rest well and run out to do something?" ”。

(*^__^*) hee-hee...... Miss Brother Xuan, sister doesn't want Brother Xuan? Song Nianzhi asked Song Rumu directly.

When Song Rumu, who was speechless, just wanted to stretch out his hand to scratch his nose and punish Song Nianzhi for being open-mouthed, he remembered that Lu Yixuan followed his grandfather Lu Batian back to Fuyang to worship his ancestors, and it would take several days to return to Hangzhou. You can think about it yourself, why do you have to pull your sister along. Now my sister has to take care of her grandmother's opinion, and she has to carefully look at her father's body, where is there time to think about other things.

"Hmm...... Brother Ke Xuan said to Nianzhi that he missed his sister and Nianzhi very much, and said that the etiquette was still exchanged, and Nianzhi and his sister naturally had to think of Brother Xuan. Song Nianzhi watched her sister's raised hand and put it down, and after the alarm was lifted, she said what she thought in her heart.

Song Rumu, who was laughing, looked at Song Nianzhi with disgust, and scratched his nose while he was unprepared: "You guys~ What kind of crooked logic is this?" ”。

Song Nianzhi, who was hit by a sneak attack, suddenly wrinkled his little nose, and said with a small face: "Sister...... Is this wrong? After rubbing his little nose on Song Rumu's body, he raised his head and suddenly said, "Oh~ I know~ It turns out that Brother Xuan lied to me." ”

"......" secretly said to Song Rumu, a stupid child, and only then did she wonder what Lu Yixuan and Song Nianzhi said, so that Song Nianzhi could be fooled so easily.
