Song Xiaochi glanced at Qiao's, and Qiao's smiled: "It's been a day to trouble my eldest sister to take Brother Mao'er, and it just so happens that I can do more needlework while I have time."

Song Xiaochi knew that her mother and sister-in-law were afraid that she would be upset, so she asked Brother Mao to accompany her.

On this day, Song Xiaochi took Song Junmao to eat together at noon, and then took a nap.

When she woke up from a nap, she took Song Junmao to play with his little wooden horse, nine rings and other toys in the afternoon, and told him some folk tales she had read before, which were interspersed with the customs of many places.

Song Xiaochi spoke with great interest, and Song Junmao listened to it with relish, until the evening, Song Xiaochi took him to Mingxuanju for dinner, and he was still a little reluctant, feeling that he hadn't heard enough of the story.

"Okay, wait until tomorrow my aunt will tell a story to Brother Mao, now it's time to go and eat with my grandfather and grandmother and your father, Brother Mao hasn't seen my grandfather and father for a day, don't you want them?"

"Yes!" Brother Mao said in a milky voice, holding Song Xiaochi's hand, "Auntie, let's go to dinner, Brother Mao feels like I haven't seen my father for a long time......

Song Xiaochi smiled, didn't you just see it yesterday?

Coral has been paying attention to Song Xiaochi's emotions all day, seeing that she has always looked calm, and now she is still smiling, she is a little relieved, their girl is so calm and serious, so outstanding and beautiful, the Xu family will definitely regret it when the time comes, she thought hatefully in her heart.

When she arrived at Mingxuan Hall, Song Xiaochi's eldest brother, Song Anming, the eldest grandson of the Song family, was already there, but she didn't see her father Song Shaoyan.

Song Xiaochi took Song Junmao to salute Fang's first, and then asked Song Anming, "Big brother, is it going well today?" ”

She knew that Song Anming had been running for errands these days, and the Song family now had an earl in addition to the old lady Song, that is, the second master of Song donated a seventh-grade Wenlin Lang official in his early years, and the rest of the men in the Song family had no official position.

But the difficulty is that the Song family has no silver, and since the previous uncle, no one in the Bofu has been able to hold a real position in the imperial court, let alone in the Yudu Mansion, even if the city is closed, the Song family may not even be able to reach the third-rate family.

In this way, Song Shaohuan, the second master of Song, can find a seven-grade loose official, which is already the power of the whole government.

Some time ago, Lord Song heard that the Closed City Guard was going to recruit soldiers, and the children of the family whose ancestors had Yin En or the sons of officials could be awarded an official and a half position when they entered the Guard, but the Bofu had declined and even declined, so Song Anming wanted to enter the Guard, even if he only gave a nine-rank captain, it was difficult to do so without money and power.

Song Anming sighed, frowned and said, "I didn't see Tu Du today."

"Why? Is he not at home, or is he at home but not seeing his eldest brother. ”

Song Xiaochi asked, Du Shi is only a seven-rank military attaché, although it is really lacking, but now the Bofu is still the Bofu, and the old uncle is still there, even if Tu Du doesn't help, the opportunity to meet should always be given to her eldest brother.

"I've inquired a long time ago, Tu Du is resting today."

Song Anming was quite frustrated, Bofu now has no face at all, and the son of Bofu went to ask to see the military attache of the seventh grade, but he was also turned away, how did this not make Song Anming discouraged, he stomped his feet vigorously, and there was a sense of aggrieved that there was nowhere to go.

"Big brother, don't be disappointed, Daddy hasn't come back yet, maybe he's making progress there."

Song Xiaochi hurriedly comforted that the person in charge of this recruitment was Wu Zhihui and Li Congshan, the commanders of the Sealed City Guard, and Song Shaohuan heard that one of the people in charge, Lord Wu, had sent this matter to his subordinates, Tang Siqian, and Tang Siqian asked his four subordinates to be in charge of the specific matters of this recruitment.

The experience of the commander of the fourth product and the experience of the sixth product is difficult to see with the strength of the Song family today, so Song Shaohuan and his son are looking for the seventh product.

Song Anming is looking for Tu Quan, and Song Shaoyan is looking for Yao Zhu, another governor under Tang Siqian, the reason why they dare to find these two people at the same time, and they are not afraid of making mistakes, is because they have already inquired about it, these two are friends of life and death, and the relationship is very good, even if they know that the father and son of the Song family have found each other, they will not be uncomfortable because of this matter, but may have a bonus effect.

Although Song Xiaochi comforted Song Anming like this, she didn't have much hope for Song Shaoyan's achievements in her heart.

Sure enough, Song Anming sighed again when he heard Song Xiaochi say, "Dad didn't see Lord Yao either, saying that Lord Yao went to Uncle Yue's house." ”

"Daddy's back?" Song Xiaochi was surprised.

Fang, who held Song Junmao in his arms, said: "I came back a long time ago, and I was called by the old lady, saying that I was having dinner in Rongsong Courtyard, let's eat by ourselves later, don't wait for him."

As soon as Fang's words came out, Song Xiaochi immediately guessed what Mrs. Song called her father to do, which was nothing more than for her marriage contract with the second son of the Xu family.

Ming Xuanju was having dinner here, and although the atmosphere was not cheerful, it was still calm.

But on the side of Rongsong Courtyard, the atmosphere was much more solemn, and Mrs. Song told the old uncle and her three sons what Mrs. Xu came to say today.

In addition to Song Shaoyan, the old lady of Song, the old lady of Song also asked the second master of Song, Song Shaohuan, and the third master of Song, Song Shaocan, to come over.

"Isn't the Xu family bullying? What do they mean by this, they just want to drag Sister Chi, how old is Sister Chi this year, sixteen, let's count it according to the shortest, even if Xu Liyao is willing to marry in three years and marry Sister Chi, how old is Sister Chi at that time?

Nineteen, if so, nineteen is nineteen, anyway, the Xu family waits, the key is what if Xu Liyao is still unwilling to marry after three years? If he has to postpone it for another three or five years, can we afford to wait? ”

After listening to Mrs. Song's statement, Master Song San first shouted, his voice was not small, and the old man who was already sleepy was shocked, and coughed violently.

Mrs. Song sat on the edge of the old uncle's bed, patted the half-lying old uncle on the back, glared at Song Shaocan fiercely, and scolded: "You don't know that your father is sick!" It's still so loud, you don't want your dad to be good. ”

Song Shaocan's scolding of Old Madam Song seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and he sneered: "Aren't I too excited for a while and can't control it?" The main reason is that the Xu family is too bullying, and they really deserve it...... Well, what's that, but also to set up a memorial arch! ”

Under the stern gaze of Old Madam Song, Song Shaocan swallowed the two words that were about to be exported, and vaguely passed, but his meaning could be understood by everyone present.

Old Madam Song glared at Song Shaocan again, but Song Shaoyan said: "The third brother is right, the Xu family obviously wants to withdraw from the family, but they are unwilling to bring it up by themselves, and propose this kind of delay without a definite time limit, they know that our Song family can't afford to delay, and they know that in this way, we will definitely not be able to wait, so we naturally have to take the initiative to withdraw from the family, so that their Xu family has achieved their goal, and they don't have to bear the reputation of treachery, they have a good calculation."
