Chapter 35: Last Wishes
"When I looked at the relaxed appearance of the second uncle, I expected that my grandfather should be fine."
Song Anming's mood was quite similar to Song Xiaochi's, when he saw Uncle Song, who was lying on the bed and had obviously relieved himself, he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or be disappointed.
"The old lady asked me to come back, and my father and third uncle stayed, saying that the three of their brothers were guarding tonight, just in case."
Song Anming said, smiling sarcastically, "I'm afraid the old lady and the second wife won't be able to sleep tonight, I'm afraid that the cooked duck will fly again." ”
Qiao said: "In this way, my grandfather's condition is still unstable."
"Dr. Cao said that if you survive tonight, it will not be a problem to last another month."
Song Anming sighed a little irritably, "My sister's matter has to be resolved as soon as possible, I'm afraid that they are worried that they will have long nights and dreams, and they will advance the wedding date." ”
Fang Shi exclaimed: "There are only six days left, how can we advance?"
Song Xiaochi's thoughts coincide with Song Anming, anyway, the Song family has already lost face by marrying a daughter like this, so they simply break the jar and break it, how can they not do it if they don't want to save face.
Early the next morning, Song Xiaochi had just gotten up when he heard the voice of red hearts outside, "The old lady asked the eldest girl to come over earlier today, saying that she had something to discuss, and hoped that Sister Coral would go in and report it." ”
Song Xiaochi walked out, and the hearts hurriedly saluted, and said what Fang Cai and Coral said again.
"What about the others, did they all go so early?" Song Xiaochi asked.
Heart nodded, "The old lady said there is something important to say." ”
Song Xiaochi had already guessed what was important.
Not long after the hearts left, the white disc beside Qiao's side came over, "Big girl, the uncle asked you to go to Mingxuanju first, and they will also go over, and then we will go together to say goodbye to the old lady." ”
Song Xiaochi knew that Song Anming was afraid that she would be cranky alone, so he said to Bai Die: "I know, let's leave now."
When Song Xiaochi arrived at Mingxuanju, Song Anming and Qiao's had already arrived.
Qiao Shi said to Song Xiaochi: "The old lady didn't let us go, it was the letter that Pearl went to Wutong Courtyard to report, and when the uncle heard it, he guessed that it was for the Tan family's family business, and he must follow, I didn't worry, so I also came."
Song Xiaochi knew what Qiao's meant by this, she looked at Qiao's and said sincerely: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law have a loving heart, and the younger sister must remember it."
Although Qiao's family has the heart to sell well in front of Song Xiaochi, after all, she is only a sister-in-law and has no blood relationship with Song Xiaochi, since she has done something, she must let Song Xiaochi know.
However, Song Xiaochi said such a sentence so solemnly, which made her a little uncomfortable, and smiled: "The girl is the uncle's sister-in-law, and the uncle naturally has to defend you, otherwise I will not be a sister-in-law."
"Mother, if the old lady insists, don't talk too much, let's discuss it again when we come back, it won't help to make noise in Rongsong Courtyard."
Song Anming explained in a deep voice.
Song Xiaochi was about to explain to his family, but he didn't expect Song Anming, who has always had a bad temper, to say it first, which was a big surprise to Song Xiaochi.
Fang Shi worried: "If the old lady insists, this ...... But how is it good? ”
Song Shaoyan did not return in Rongsong Courtyard, and the Fang family could only set his sights on his eldest son.
Song Anming's eyes were deep, and he said: "Her insistence is certain, and the second master and the second wife will definitely instigate it, but when the time comes, whether the younger sister will marry as they wish, that is not necessarily, maybe they will steal chickens and rice."
Song Anming's voice was firm and cold, which made Fang's hearing tremble, "Da Lang, what are you going to do?" ”
"It's nothing, mother, don't worry, my sister won't marry into the Tan family."
Song Anming comforted.
On the way, Song Xiaochi asked about the errand of the guard again, but Song Anming did not answer her yesterday.
"Gu Jin has already helped to inquire, and there should be news in the next two days."
Song Anming said that the only person he was familiar with was Gu Jin, and as for the others, they also needed to rely on Gu Jin's help to introduce them.
However, he also made second-hand preparations, he spent some silver yesterday, and got into some relationships with Yao Dushi's cousin, and the news that more than twenty taels of silver will be made public soon after exchange should not be small, but I don't know what the result of this matter is, and he didn't tell Song Xiaochi.
When they arrived at Rongsong Courtyard, Mrs. Song sent Hongxing to guard at the gate of the courtyard, and led them directly to the old uncle's room, at the door of the room, Hongxing said embarrassedly: "Uncle, grandma, the old lady only let the eldest lady and the eldest girl go in......"
Song Anming glanced at Hongxing and said to Qiao's, "You go to the main hall and wait."
Qiao Shi glanced at the thick curtain at the door, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Uncle, ...... you" Hongxing saw Qiao's leading the white disc away, Song Anming didn't move, couldn't help but want to urge again, Song Anming only glanced at her lightly, and then directly lifted the curtain, let Fang and Song Xiaochi go in first, and followed into the house.
Hong Xing knew that this uncle's temper had always been bad, and with a faint glance, she didn't dare to say anything to stop her, and when she saw Song Anming enter the house, she stomped her feet, and had to follow up to make amends to Old Madam Song.
"Here, sit down!" After Mrs. Song saluted Fang, Song Anming and Song Xiaochi, she said to the three of them in a rare kindness, pointed to the chair next to her, and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
"Old lady, uncle, he ...... The slave can't stop it, please forgive the old lady! Before the three of them could sit down, Hong Xing hurriedly walked in and explained nervously.
Old Madam Song waved her hand at her, "I know, you can go out." ”
Hongxing was like being pardoned, and hurriedly and respectfully withdrew.
"Da Lang, I know that your brother and sister have a good relationship, you probably guessed that I asked you to come over today for the sake of Sister Chi and Tan Erye's family affairs.
Some time ago, Mrs. Xu came over, you also know the attitude of the Xu family, before we were reluctant to take the initiative to withdraw from the family, because we felt that with the current situation of our family, and Sister Chi's own situation, once we withdraw from the Xu family, it will be difficult to find a comparable family in the future.
But now it's different, Mrs. Tan heard that our sister Chi is dignified and polite, and she is beautiful and generous, so she came to marry Sister Chi for her second son, I think this family business is very good, and I have agreed to Mrs. Tan's proposal. ”
Mrs. Song said, glancing at Song Anming, "Your grandfather woke up once last night, and your grandfather said that he was worried that his body would not survive and delay Sister Chi, so he decided to set the wedding date for two days later. ”
Old Mrs. Song already knew that the hardest bone in the big house was Song Anming, the eldest grandson, so as soon as he entered the door, she smashed down with these words, and even used the old uncle's last wish to suppress people, in a vain attempt to make Song Anming obediently obey the arrangement and not make trouble.
