Chapter 186: Letter from the Lockdown
On the second day of the first month of September, Song Xiaochi and Xie Yan passed the ceremony, and since then the two have been a righteous and honest fiancé, and the date of marriage is set for March next year, which is a good time for peach blossoms to bloom. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Qu Jing and Xie Yan were on duty at the guard, and did not come back, Jiang took a pair of children and Song Xiaochi to climb the Panyun Mountain in the Maoyuan Mansion, the name of Panyun Mountain is quite imposing, but it is not high, but from a distance, the mountain is layered on top of each other, like the clouds coiled and coiled, so it is named.
Song Xiaochi didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, when Song Xiaochi saw Mrs. Xu, it was like a barrier, that barrier separated Maoyuan Mansion from the closed city, Maoyuan Mansion is now, and the closure is the past, although the past is less than a year away from the present, but in Song Xiaochi's heart, the involvement with the Xu family is buried deep and far.
She never thought that after leaving the lockdown, the first person she saw was Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu also seemed to recognize Song Xiaochi and stared at her for a while, after Song Xiaochi was initially shocked, she quietly looked away, she didn't want to deal with Mrs. Xu.
It's not that she holds a grudge or anything, she just thinks that people who don't matter, she doesn't want to deal with.
Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows, and then turned her head as well.
Jiang was taking care of Qu Xinghui, and did not notice the brief glance between Song Xiaochi and Mrs. Xu.
The lotus root who came over today knew Mrs. Xu, and also knew the origin of Song Xiaochi and the Xu family, so she shouted "girl".
Song Xiaochi knew what she was going to ask, and said lightly: "I have already made a marriage, can they still rob the marriage?"
No matter how powerful Tan Kuan is, he is just a left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, no matter what the Qu family says, it is also the Hou Mansion, and it is the Hou Mansion with real power, even if Xie Yan is only a distant relative of the Hou Mansion to the outside world, Song Xiaochi believes that Tan Kuan will not do anything to rob his relatives for his uncompetitive younger brother.
As for the Song family, since the big house has already left the clan, Song Xiaochi has nothing to fear.
So even if Mrs. Xu reported her affairs in Maoyuan Mansion back to the lockdown city, Song Xiaochi had nothing to worry about.
On this day, except for the episode of Mrs. Xu, the others were all refreshing mountaineering experiences, and after coming down from Panyun Mountain, even Qu Xinghui's little face was filled with a cheerful smile.
Every time she saw Qu Xinghui, Song Xiaochi thought of returning the Dan once, and she tried again in the middle, but it still ended in failure.
And even if Cheng Shenyi tried his best, there was still no news of the vital medicinal materials.
Just when Song Xiaochi was depressed, she received a letter from the lockdown.
The letter was written by Liu Mingxin, it turned out that at the beginning of the twenty-first year of Ningkang, she followed her father Master Liu to Chaohuai Mansion and Xiushan Mansion to purchase medicinal materials, and finally even went out of Daning and went to Baicang.
Baicang is a neighbor of Daning, and its domestic climate is cold, and almost the entire country is covered with white snow all year round.
Because of its extremely cold climate, there are also many precious animals and plants that cannot survive in Daning, among which medicinal herbs are one of them.
There are many businessmen in Daning who value Baicang's medicinal materials, but there is no safety in Daning in Baicang, there are mountain bandits and water bandits in Daning, and Baicang's bandits will only be more and more ferocious than Daning, and because of this, although Daning's businessmen covet Baicang's precious furs, medicinal materials, and fruit trees, but there are not many who really have the courage to go to Baicang in person, Song Xiaochi didn't expect Uncle Liu to be so bold, not only went to Baicang himself, but also took Liu Mingxin with him.
She didn't know about this before, otherwise she would definitely have been uneasy for most of the past six months, always worried that Liu Mingxin would encounter something bad.
Song Xiaochi continued to look down, and Liu Mingxin also told her about the Song family, saying that her father and mother followed her eldest brother to the West or the North, but Liu Mingxin knew more about it than Wu Buxian inquired.
The reason why Song Anming went to the West and the North naturally had the reasons that Xie Yan said before, the West and the North were easier to get ahead, and the more important reason was that the commander who had appreciated Song Anming before suggested that Song Anming go to the West and the North, saying that with Song Anming's ability, even if he was just an ordinary soldier at the beginning, it would be easier to be promoted to the position of military attaché, and Lord Wu also wrote a letter of recommendation for Song Anming.
Another point is that although the matter of leaving the clan is not very sad and angry for the big house, it still has a slight impact on the reputation, leaving Maoyuan Mansion and going to the West and Northland, which is far away from Maoyuan Mansion, where it is said that the people are simple and simple, and they should be able to start a new life.
Liu Mingxin said in the letter that her eldest brother said before leaving that when their family settled down in the West or the North, they would write to Liu Mingxin, so that they could get in touch with Song Xiaochi through Liu Mingxin, and then Song Anming would come back to pick up Song Xiaochi, and the family could also reunite in the West and North.
It's just that Liu Mingxin hasn't received Song Anming's letter yet.
This made Song Xiaochi worry again, but she thought that the West and North were far away from the lockdown, and it shouldn't be so simple to send the letter back, so she relaxed a little.
Liu Mingxin's letter was very long, more than ten pages, and the front of it was all about the situation of the Song family.
When Song Xiaochi saw one of them, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Coral knew that there was a letter from the city closure, so he kept paying attention to Song Xiaochi's expression, for fear that there would be some bad news in the letter and make the girl sad.
Fortunately, Song Xiaochi has been quite calm, and now seeing that Song Xiaochi frowned, she hurriedly asked.
"Song Shaohuan gave his fifth cousin and eighth cousin to Tan Zeng as concubines."
Song Xiaochi said, frowning.
Song Fang Song Juan is a girl from the side branch of the Song family, she has only met them a few times, and they are not very familiar, Song Fang is one year older than her, and Song Juan is one year younger than her.
Song Fang is very beautiful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her personality is more cheerful, while Song Juan is relatively delicate and more introverted.
Song Xiaochi felt a little guilty, does this count me as if I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me?
"Girl, I can't blame you for this, if you want to blame it, it's only the second master who is to blame, it is because he has no conscience that he has done such a lack of morality."
Coral hurriedly comforted, "And this matter, Uncle Jiong and Third Master Xuan are also responsible, they are the fathers of the fifth girl and the eighth girl, if they don't agree, how can the second master do this!" ”
"It's just an exchange of interests!" Song Xiaochi sighed, what can she do now.
