Coming out of Zhang Chengtao's mansion, the time was not early, Song Guogong and Song Yinkai walked with their swords, and they arrived at Quanzhou Mansion not long after.

The commander hung at the door of the mansion, and the firecrackers had just been released.

As soon as the door opened, Song Yinting personally greeted him, and when he saw his father and brother smiling, he knew that things were going well, and he laughed sincerely: "I can't eat this year's reunion dinner, but this Quanzhou Mansion is also three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and it barely has a New Year's flavor." ”

Too many things happened at the end of this year, and Song Guogong and Song Yinkai couldn't rush back to Hangzhou. Song Yinting seemed to have expected that his father and brother would definitely return on Chinese New Year's Eve, and called Song Manqiu and Song Shiqi to Quanzhou City early.

The father and son stepped into the house, and the people were quietly busy, and soon there were hot wine and food served on the table, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were naturally everything.

"Early tomorrow morning, you, I, father and son, will go to Kaiyuan Temple to mourn for Abbot Puci. After Song Guogong said this, he saw the two juniors standing by himself, so he beckoned them to sit too, and then smiled: "I heard that the two of you have grown a lot." ”

"It's all the credit of my grandfather's usual discipline and teaching. Song Manqiu smiled and took the wine jug from the hands of his subordinates, and poured wine for his grandfather, uncle and father in turn.

When Song Shijin heard this, he also said some insincere words of self-humility.

"By the way, Bu Gongzi is also alone, why don't you call him by the way?" Song Guogong suddenly asked.

"Daddy cherishes talents, but after all, this is a reunion dinner in the Song Mansion, and Bu Gongzi may not be willing to come. Song Yinting laughed.

Song Manqiu's face was a little gloomy, and when her father finished speaking, she added softly: "When I came from Wurong County, Bu Gongzi hadn't come back yet, and he was still on the road now." ”

"Why have you been walking for so many days?" Song Yinting was a little surprised.

"Today is only the seventh day of his journey. Song Shijin said casually: "Even the cavalry sent by my uncle to invite him has not come back yet." ”

Song Yinting shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "There have been too many things in the past few days, and when I get busy, I feel that a long time has passed." ”

"Daddy hasn't said yet, what exactly is on the ship. Song Manqiu suddenly remembered this.

Song Yinting was slightly stunned, quickly covered up the past, shook his head and said: "This matter is too dangerous, it is related to the safety of my Song Mansion, you are a girl's family, it is better not to know." ”

He said this, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, just because in this place, except for his daughter Manqiu, the rest of the people knew the secret of Gongsun Jianpu.

Song Yinting even felt that it was probably because he only had such a daughter that his father did not tell him the secret.

"That Zhang Chengtao is really ruthless," Song Guogong changed the topic without a trace, shook his head and sighed: "He sent his second son Zhang Xianye into the mountain, just to divert our attention, so as to hide from the sky and the sea, and secretly Chen Cang." ”

"Isn't he afraid that our army will rush to the Jianzhou Mansion and wait for work with ease, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor? This Zhangzhou Xuanqi, but Zhang Chengtao spent a lot of money to raise it. Song Manqiu said.

Song Guogong smiled and didn't answer, just glanced at Song Yinkai, who also nodded slightly.

Obviously, now, they can see much more clearly than Song Yinting: Zhang Chengtao sent Zhangzhou Xuanqi into the mountain, just let him die, because he kept Zhang Xianye, with this son's temperament, he must not help but avenge his father, so that the so-called business between Zhang Chengtao and the Song family will be self-defeating, and even Zhang Xianwen will not be able to keep it.

In order to keep the boss Zhang Xianwen, he immediately let Zhang Xianye die, which shows how decisive Zhang Chengtao is.

And the only thing that makes him think about this series of schemes is that Zhang Chengtao seems to have made too many preparations for defeat, but he didn't think that he might win.

Song Yinkai was a little puzzled, and said lightly: "Although it is said that it is a soldier's way to expect victory and defeat first, Zhang Chengtao seems to be too obsessed." ”

"The child thinks that he may have a back hand, maybe we are drinking wine here, and the demons of Tingzhou and Jianzhou have already swept out, and they are about to echo with Zhangzhou Xuanqi and attack my Qufu army. Song Shijin couldn't help but interject.

"Fortunately, my cousin saw the opportunity quickly, and withdrew the army. Song Manqiu praised half-truthfully.

"Be prepared. Song Shijin rolled his eyes.

These two juniors quarreled, it didn't hurt, Song Yinkai and Song Yinting just didn't hear it.

Song Guogong suddenly asked: "Manqiu, go to Kaiyuan Temple to find Abbot Puci, is it really your own idea?"

Song Manqiu had already made up his mind that he must follow the instructions of Bu Gongzi, and he couldn't tell this secret no matter what, so he nodded and said, "It's really Manqiu's own idea." ”

Song Guogong smiled slightly, and said in his heart that he really valued that step boy too much, so much so that he looked down on his juniors.

At that moment, he stood up with his back against his head, raised his glass and said to Song Manqiu: "Come, Manqiu, this glass of thin wine, my grandfather will go up and down for the Song family, thank you." ”

Song Manqiu was a little flattered, and hurriedly got up and waved his hand, and even said, "I can't do it." Song Yinting only felt sour and bitter in his stomach, and said in his heart Silly daughter, grandfather thanks you like this, just because you think that you have a daughter's family and will marry out in the future, not a member of the Song family.

At this moment, suddenly a subordinate ran into the house and hurriedly said, "Boss...... ...... outside"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Brother Yin Ting, I'm going to talk about you today!" When the words arrived, a middle-aged man with a square face and a wide forehead and wearing an official uniform stepped into the house.

"Brother Luo......" Song Yinting looked surprised: "Why did you come to Quanzhou?"

"Hey! Song Gong and Brother Yin Kai are also there?!" The middle-aged man was also surprised.

"This Qimin Road is really lively, Lord Li has been here, Lord Yu has been here, and what kind of wind is blowing Lord Luo right now. Song Guogong was smiling on his face, but he secretly screamed in his heart.

The Lord Li in his mouth is naturally the right deputy imperial history Li Yue that Bu An saw in the Song State Mansion, and Lord Yu is the left capital imperial history Yu Zhaozhong, and the Luo Chengjie in front of him is Li Yue's top boss, the right capital imperial history who supervises the hundred officials of the imperial court!

"My hard work, the New Year is not peaceful, but it makes Song Gong smile. Luo Chengjie shook his head and said: "A few days ago, the emperor specially ordered me to come to Qimin Road to see how Zhang Chengtao's body is doing, if he is really sick, he will not be embarrassed to do things for the court." I think it's also the saint's compassion for the lady. ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Guogong looked at Song Yinkai, and then at Song Yinting, and from the eyes of the two of them, they all saw surprise.

Song Guogong scolded secretly, but saw that Song Shijin was unaware of it, and his face was at ease.
