"On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Hall of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night."

Although they have only been separated for half a month, the pain of lovesickness has made Ming'er and Se'er lose weight. Ming'er didn't say much, but Se'er chattered like a magpie about the aftermath.

When Ming'er and the others arrived at Jiangning City on October 19, they saw that Song Zheng had not arrived, and they knew that things were not good. After discussing with Erhei and Huzi, several people began to arrange. The first thing is to check the movement outside the house. Erhei, Huzi, and Ming'er are all secretaries of the Imperial City Division, and they are not laymen who do the work of monitoring and monitoring. After two days of observation, it was soon discovered that the suspicious person who was spying on the Song Mansion was discovered.

Ming'er didn't dare to move, but let Erhei and Huzi take turns patrolling at night. Under the pretext of stockpiling charcoal and firewood, he brought in some thorn branches and placed them on the surrounding courtyard walls. If someone jumps inside the wall, there will be nowhere to stay. Ming'er hadn't learned anything about the arrangement, and this was the most humble method she could think of.

Ming'er even asked Erhei to buy a big dog to use to take care of the family's nursing home. It's just that Song Jue is more disgusted with dogs, so he has to give up.

Such an arrangement is naturally more than enough to deal with ordinary thieves, but it is far from enough for Song Zheng. Therefore, he jumped in easily, and he didn't even see the tiger who was secretly patrolling.

Song Zheng told him about his experiences these days, and Song Zheng didn't hide anything from his close people, including Yuan Rong. Although it was only more than ten days, Song Zheng's rich experience still amazed Ming'er and the others.

Originally, Song Zheng didn't want Se'er to know this. In Song Zheng's heart, he still wanted to send her back to Dajin. As for Wanyan Yusheng on Dajin's side, Song Zheng was always wary. He had a vague premonition that there would be a battle between himself and Wanyan Yusheng in the future. When the time comes, it will be difficult to let Ser deal with herself. Therefore, for Se'er, Song Zheng has a complicated mood and always doesn't dare to get too close.

However, tonight, when he heard Se'er's sincere words, and remembered that she had gone all the way to Songjiazhuang to find herself, Song Zheng was very emotional, and he completely accepted Se'er from his heart. Except for Ming'er's identity, grandfather's enmity, and King Lu's secret secret, he didn't want him to know, and there was nothing else to hide. Whether it is the Imperial City Division, the Dark Eagle, or even the matter of Huitong Commerce, Ser Er also knows a lot.

Since leaving Songjiazhuang at the beginning of last year, Song Zheng killed the ninth and thirteenth of the Mizhou Dark Eagle in the snow, and the battle between Song Zheng and the Dark Eagle officially kicked off. This time, Dark Eagle came to hunt and kill Song Zheng again, and in Se'er's opinion, it was entirely because Song Zheng saved her and her brother Wanyan Yusheng at the Sihua Inn. In other words, Song Zheng was hunted down and killed because of her. This made her even more attached to Song Zheng.

Regarding Yuan Rong's matter, Song Zheng did not explain anything. Ming'er and Song Zheng knew each other very well, and they also guessed the reason why Song Zheng did this. As for Ser, she was embarrassed to be jealous.

When Song Zheng sneaked in, it was already the middle of the night, and the sky was bright. Under Song Zheng's persuasion, Ming'er and Se'er, who were already extremely tired, went upstairs to rest, while Song Zheng himself opened the door.

Outside the door, Erhei and Huzi stood there quietly.

"Childe!" The two bowed in unison.

Song Zheng stepped forward and held the hands of the two, "Good brother, hard work!" ”

The two were also quite excited. Huzi shook his head and said, "It's the two of us who are incompetent and can't go through the hardships with our son." ”

"Your brother can stay in this house, which is a great achievement." Song Zheng patted them on the shoulder, "Since the two of you followed me, there was the crisis of Dajin first, and then the forbearance of Licheng, and now I have let you mix in Jiangning City." The two brothers won't blame me, will they? ”

Erhei waved his hand, "Where is the childe?" If it weren't for Gongzi, Huzi and I would be smugglers by the Yellow River at most, and make a small fortune with Master Lu, maybe one day we would die under the arrows of the border army. However, after following Childe, he did all the big things, and his life was exciting. Childe also promoted us, joined the Imperial City Division, and had an official body. This was unimaginable to our brothers before. ”

Erhei has always said less and done more, and being able to say this can be regarded as a formal expression of his heart.

Huzi also nodded, with a look of deep agreement, "Childe has never treated us as people, he has always treated us as brothers, and he has taught us kung fu, we are willing to follow Childe." ”

Song Zheng shook the two of them vigorously, "Good brother, it should be okay tonight, you all go and rest, it should be bright in a while." ”

The two of them answered, and left with their fists clenched.

Song Zheng thought about it, if he had to meet his parents so abruptly, he was afraid that he would be able to scare the Zhu family. So, he climbed up the wall again and climbed out of it.

The morning was short, Song Zheng circled around the Song Mansion, and the sky was bright. Song Zheng came to the door and knocked on the door.

A moment later, a muscular teenager opened the door. The young man was dressed as a green cloth boy, and when he saw Song Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, but he still arched his hand, "May I ask Childe, who are you looking for?" ”

Seeing that the young man was polite, Song Zheng suddenly had a good impression. He also guessed that this young man was Qingshan, the newly acquired little girl in the Song Mansion. Song Zheng smiled, "I'm not looking for anyone, I'm going home!" ”

"Home?" Aoyama muttered, his eyes widening suddenly, "Less...... Young master, are you a young master? ”

"I'm Song Zheng."

"Quick...... Come in," Qingshan was a little at a loss, "shouting at the courtyard, master, madam, young master is back!" The young master is back! ”

Song Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't want to make a big move, but when he was shouted by Qingshan's loud voice, everyone was alarmed.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Zheng stepped into the courtyard, he saw several figures running towards him, including Erhei, Huzi, Ming'er, and Se'er, who had just rested. Song Xiaosi pounced over, knelt down in front of Song Zheng all of a sudden, and cried, "Young master, young master, you are back." Xiaoping also rushed out and shed tears.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, Xiaoping has become more and more plump, and Xiaosi has grown into a big boy. followed out, there was also a middle-aged woman in her forties, a girl of the same age as Song Zheng. They are Sister-in-law Du and Dong'er. Song Zheng nodded to them, but his eyes turned to the door of the house.

There, Song Jue's figure flashed and retreated. At that moment, Song Zheng saw the look of surprise on Song Jue's face. Song Jue is rigorous, like an ancient well all year round, and it is difficult to cause any ripples. However, when his son, who hadn't seen him for more than a year, came back, Song Jue still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"Zheng'er! Zheng'er! Where's my Zheng'er? With Zhu's call, two figures rushed out of the room. Yan'er took Zhu's arm and stumbled out.

Song Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, supported Zhu's family, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, "Unfilial son Song Zheng, knock on my mother!" ”

Zhu Shi bowed down and hugged Song Zheng's head, "Child, my child!" Tears poured out of his eyes and dripped on the top of Song Zheng's head, and his hand gently patted Song Zheng's shoulder.

Song Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears. Although Zhu does not have much education and is a little cowardly, like every mother, he is very good to himself. The mother of the child Xing Qianli is worried that she has been absent for more than a year, and there is very little news. And the mother must be worried about such a child herself.

In this situation, the people around him shed tears.

Song Zheng was afraid that Zhu's would be too sad, so he quickly stood up and supported Zhu's, and Lu Yan thoughtfully supported Zhu's other side. Xiaoping beckoned everyone to disperse and followed the house.

In the middle hall, Song Jue had already regained his calm countenance, sitting upright on the Taishi chair, holding the back of the chair with one hand and brushing his beard with the other.

After Song Zheng entered the door, he stepped forward and took two steps hurriedly, knelt on the ground, called "father", and bowed down and kowtowed.

Song Jue let out a "hmm", stretched out both hands at the same time, and after a little support, he retracted again, "Get up!" Sit and talk back. ”

"Yes!" Song Zheng got up, helped his mother to the chair on the other side first, and sat down on the lower head. Lu Yan and Xiaoping both retreated knowingly, and there were only three people left in the house.

"Zheng'er, where did you go this year? Why isn't there even a message? Let the mother be worried. Zhu's eyes were full of love, and his tone was soft, without a hint of reproach. Song Jue also stared at him, his eyes full of concern.

Song Zheng had already made up the lie, and immediately briefly said it from Penglai in the east, Tongguan in the west, Wuyi in the south, and Shuguan in the west, and recited a few poems to Song Jue casually as a so-called travel witness. Song Zheng is also well-informed, and his kung fu of lying is good, and it is easy to fool the past.

Of course, Song Zheng also cautiously said Wei Buzhou's matter and observed Song Jue's face. Song Jue's face was calm, "No, Mr. Zhou is a great Confucian in the world, the sound shocks Kyushu, the peach and plum are all over the world, you can know him, it is your blessing." Although Mr. Bu Zhou has a lot of criticism about the science of the world, his knowledge is still excellent. ”

Song Jue's words surprised Song Zheng, he really didn't expect that his father would have such a mind.

"I'll tell you some things in two days," Song Jue glanced at Song Zheng, "I heard that you are going to take the martial arts exam?" ”

"Yes, the sixth day of November!" Song Zheng replied.

Song Jue nodded lightly. However, Zhu Shi was a little anxious, "Zheng'er, I heard that this martial artist exam has died before." You must be careful, it really can't work, you don't participate, can you take the first place in the Wenju of Shandong Road, are you afraid that you will not be able to take the Chinese exam? Even if you come back with a top prize, it's possible! ”

"What do you know!" Song Jue scolded, "The way of civil and military affairs is different. If they all protect their sons like you, then who else wants to be a soldier? Who else is going to stop Daikin's barbarians? Besides, is the champion so easy to test? Zheng'er can take the top spot on Shandong Road, that's luck! ”

Song Jue's tone was stern, and Zhu naturally didn't dare to speak.

Song Zheng sighed secretly, his father was also enlightened, but he was too fierce to his mother.

Song Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Song Zheng, "Zheng'er, you are taking the martial arts exam, it seems that you want to join the army." I won't stop you, your grandfather was in the army back then. It's just that...... Just be careful! Speaking of this, Song Jue's face was a little gloomy.

"Father, I still have to take the imperial examination. This time, even if I am lucky enough to pass the martial arts exam, I want not to enlist in the army for the time being, but to study quietly for a year, and participate in the Jinshi exam next year. After all, I am still young, and after the imperial examination next year, it is not too late to take the exam again! ”

"It's good! That's good! Song Jue's face brightened.

It's weird to say. With Song Jue's rigidity, Song Zheng should be treated extremely harshly. However, since Song Zheng's family rushed to Mizhou at the beginning of last year, Song Zheng has completely exceeded Song Jue's expectations. first killed people in the snow, and then taught Lu Hong and his gang at the gate of the Mizhou Academy of Literature, and then was hired as a teacher at the Academy of Martial Arts. The poetry club won the championship and eliminated the gangsters, one by one, which surprised Song Jue every time. Song Jue has clearly realized that his son is young and old, and he has great ideas, which he can't control at all.

Song Jue very wisely gave up the idea of interfering with Song Zheng and let it be. Song Zheng did not disappoint him, both civil and military, he had never heard of it since the founding of the Great Qi. Song Jue's face also has a lot of brilliance. Although he is willing to let Song Zheng inherit his mantle in his heart, he is more willing to let his son follow his own path and develop. Therefore, knowing Wei Buzhou with Song Zheng, Song Jue is also happy to see it.

In the midst of casual conversation, it was soon noon. Zhu ordered Sister-in-law Du to ask for two tables of dishes from the restaurant, and the master and servant of the family had a meal happily.

Song Zheng did not report the matter of Fengzhuyuan to his parents. Just went home and was about to move out, Zhu definitely couldn't accept it, Song Zheng could only slowly figure it out. However, in the afternoon, I have to hand over Fengzhuyuan with Wei Buzhou's housekeeper. Therefore, Song Zheng excused himself to go out for a walk, so he led Erhei, Huzi and Ming'er out of the door.

Before he reached the gate of Fengzhu Garden, a voice shouted beside him, "Brother Song! You're back! ”~
