Chapter 15: The General's Wife
These words were like a basin of cold water, poured raw on the top of Lai's head.
She was dizzy for a while, but she also woke up a lot, and closed her eyes with difficulty: "Ayi...... What do you mean......"
Song Qingyi frowned and looked at her: "Mother, the eldest brother is only afraid, and there is more than luck!" ”
In a word, Lai's body shook, Song Qingyi helped her, and sighed secretly.
In his previous life, at about this time, Jiang Jinyao was also notified to return to his hometown for a while, and the villagers greeted him warmly, but what he received was just a cripple who came back in a rough cart all the way......
Su Yanwen's leg was wasted.
He is not a glorious general, but a waste soldier who was rejected by a general under the Northern King and sent back to his hometown with a piece of paper.
Song Qingyi gently calmed Lai's breath, and continued to say word by word: "Mother, the little brother who reported the news from the post station said this, I'm afraid it's just to ask for a reward, I'll come with you later, give that little brother 500 yuan, and then find a way to let everyone disperse...... Otherwise, the eldest brother will return home sadly, and when he sees such a situation, everyone will talk nonsense at that time, and I am afraid that my heart will be more comfortable! ”
Lai's eyes opened suddenly!
Her sharp eyes suddenly turned to Song Qingyi: "Ah Yi, how do you know this?" "What is the dispute between the two kings, the king of the east and the king of the north, how can ordinary village women know?
Song Qingyi, who came over, doesn't look like a person who knows so much!
At this time, Song Qingyi met her mother-in-law's suspicious and probing gaze, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, worthy of the Lai family who had been in the dart game!
That perceptive acuity is incomparable to ordinary people!
Her bright eyes met Lai's scrutiny, and smiled peacefully: "Mother, even if I don't know anymore, I still know a few words!" In the past, I was bored at home, so I took the tabloids stacked at home to read, and I saw the latest one, which was about the dispute between the two kings, a big battle in Pingdong, and the northern king, who had always had the upper hand in the past few years, was defeated...... And the more you lose, the more you have to employ people! ”
The newspapers piled up in the house were all bought by Lai's family.
One is concerned about the situation, and the other is that she wants to see if there is any news of her eldest son.
Every time she saw the tabloid newspaper that there were soldiers on the side of the king of the north who died in battle, she always had to go to the village to burn paper, thinking about nothing more than in case there was an eldest son in the soul...... You can also find your way back home.
Lai listened with his eyes and gently lowered his head to think for a moment.
"In the future, you will buy these newspapers, look at the situation in the world more, and you can always gain some knowledge! Tomorrow you prompt me to prompt a good prompt! Now I'm afraid that Gao Shu has called the old village chief and them over......" Speaking of this, Lai's frowned.
When Song Qingyi heard it, she knew that she was in a hurry.
The old village chief is an old antique who can't eat the ancients!
If the eldest brother dies on the battlefield, it is okay, then at most the old Su clan can give him the name of a heroic martyr, and the old village chief will have a light on his face when he mentions it.
But if he knew that the eldest brother had returned to his hometown this time, instead of being an official and a half-job, he would have returned ......
In short, there won't be anything good!
"Mother, I took Dr. Zhang's three posts of medicine, and my condition has completely improved, and it is not difficult to go out to pick up my eldest brother! The news of the post station has always been delivered early, and from Qingyang Town to Qinghe Village, it is estimated that it will be the second watch, isn't it too late? Besides, the villagers still have to get up early to work in the fields today, why don't you go and persuade the old village chief first and go back to rest? Song Qingyi said automatically.
"But your body ......"
"I'm really well, mother, look at my complexion!"
"Okay!" Lai gritted his teeth and responded.
She was worried about her daughter-in-law, but there was really no one available, Su Xiaowan was still young and couldn't hold her breath, Jiang Duran was not her child.
Now it seems that the daughter-in-law Song Qingyi is an understanding person.
Although he couldn't figure out the change of his daughter-in-law, Lai felt that it was always good, so he didn't think much about it.
The two walked out of the back room together, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Liu was hiding there with his head hooked, and he didn't know how long he had been listening and what he had heard.
As soon as he saw the two of them come out, Liu's face hurriedly staggered forward a few steps like a thief, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "In-laws, what's the matter?" ”
Lai Shi stared at her and took a step forward: "My eldest son is coming back, I'm going to buy a few meat and vegetarian dishes to celebrate!" ”
As soon as he heard the words meat and vegetarian dishes, Liu swallowed his saliva: "I'll come with you?" Can help pick good meat......"
"No need, I'll come over myself, you will stay and watch the house, and Ah Yi will pick up her eldest brother." After that, Lai took Song Qingyi to her room again, took a few pieces of silver, and counted the silver coins of eight hundred wen each and handed them to Song Qingyi, "Five hundred wen is a reward for the little brother who reported the news, and the rest, if there is someone who accompanies your eldest brother, even if it is the money for their hard work all the way!" ”
"Okay, I understand." Song Qingyi took the money and collected it.
Liu didn't dare to follow this time, so he shrank inside, only a pair of eyes were rolling back and forth, and he didn't know what mysterious things the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing in the house.
She stayed inside for a while, and saw Lai and Song Qingyi walking out of the outside together.
Lai shook his head at her slightly, and walked directly from the gate.
After a while, Song Qinglian returned home panting, and when she saw the Liu family in the yard, she hurriedly greeted her: "Auntie! Auntie! What a bad thing! ”
"Oops! You! Who are you? ”
As soon as Liu Shi saw a terrible grimace with noodles hanging on his head and blood clots in front of him, he was immediately frightened and felt a sigh in his heart, so he almost fainted!
Song Qing rolled her eyes angrily, and slapped Liu's face: "Auntie! You see clearly! It's me! ”
Liu's face hurt when he was patted.
It was by the moonlight that she finally recognized that this was her own daughter!
But as soon as he saw it clearly, he suddenly cried out lovingly: "Pity! O my mercy! When you go out to work in the field, how can you go up one day as if you were disfigured? Who smashed the blood hole out of the head? Who would dare to throw noodles on your head? Go with A-Niang! Auntie, I'm going to give you a breath! ”
As he spoke, the Liu family grabbed Song Qinglian and walked out of the door aggressively.
Song Qinglian rolled her eyes again, but instead raised her hand and dragged Liu Shi back: "A-Niang, listen to me!" Song Qingyi's eldest brother has returned to his hometown as a general! He's not married, is he? I've got to get dressed up! I have this face, but I want to be the general's wife! ”
The Liu family was stunned by what he said.
Song Qinglian first went into the western room to pick and choose, selected a set of bright and bright peach lotus pattern breast-length skirts, and took some carefully stored hairpin rings to shake, and held a box of loose powder gouache in her arms, and went to Song Qingyi's room to dress up.
