Chapter 18: Worry

When Song Anming and Song Xiaochi arrived at the gate of Mingxuan's residence, they didn't see the mother-in-law guarding the door.

"Could it be that you heard it wrong, we Mingxuanju, where will anyone come?"

Song Shaoyan also walked over and asked.

Song Anming shook his head, his face was calm, and he said firmly: "I heard it right, there is indeed someone walking through the window, and the footsteps are soft, it should be a woman."

Song Anming has studied martial arts for a few years, he is still sure of this, he is just a little annoyed, the eavesdropper must have stayed outside the window for a while, but he failed to find out at the beginning.

Song Xiaochi asked, "If she just came, she shouldn't have heard anything."

Song Anming shook his head, "No, she should have accidentally made a sound, so she had to escape." ”

Hearing Song Anming say this, Song Shaoyan and Song Xiaochi's faces also sank.

What they just discussed was the recruitment of low-level military attachés by the Wei Institute, this matter has not been made public for the time being, Song Anming still heard it from Gu Jin, with the current situation of Kang Yongbo's Mansion, he has limited knowledge of the outside world, and the people in the second and third rooms should not know this news yet.

If they knew......

Song Xiaochi didn't know what would happen, but she had a bad premonition.

Song Anming's feeling was the same as Song Xiaochi's, and he said in a deep voice: "If this matter is known to the second and third rooms, the second and third brothers are all old, and even the fourth brother is sixteen, so it is barely possible, although they have never studied martial arts, but if they go to their grandfather and grandmother to say a few empty words and grab a place, even if the Wei Institute gives us a place for the Song family, it will not be my turn."

Song Xiaochi frowned, Song Anming hadn't mentioned the matter of the quota before, he was looking around for relationships before, originally thinking that he would find a direct subordinate official who was responsible for selecting low-level military attachés, as long as the Shangguan agreed to recruit him, he could go to the guard to be a low-level military attaché.

However, after inquiring in the past few days, they found that those directly subordinate military attachés who were responsible for recruiting low-level military attaches did not have such great authority.

"Big brother, do you still have a quota?" Song Xiaochi thought of this and asked.

Song Anming said: "There is no specific statement on this matter, but there are so many children of families and officials who have no fame and no background, and there are only a few places for military attachés.

According to Gu Jin, at most one male member of each family can participate in the selection, and even many families do not even have a quota to participate in the selection, our Song family ...... Alas......"

Song Anming sighed heavily, if Bofu can really win a place, the second room and the third room know, then can this place be Song Anming's turn?

Of course, if it is according to the concubine, the eldest and youngest, and even the ability, Song Anming is a worthy candidate, but in the old uncle and Mrs. Song, it is very likely that they will neither follow the eldest nor the youngest of the concubine, and they are likely to decide the candidate only based on their own preferences and the flattering words they hear in their ears.

Song Anming and Song Xiaochi glanced at each other, and then walked towards the main house where Song Shaoyan and Fang's lived almost at the same time.

Fang's was talking to Qiao's, the little fat man Song Junmao was putting together a tangram on the kang, when he heard the sound, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw his grandfather, father and aunt entering the house together, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Aunt!"

Fang's smiled: "It seems that in Brother Mao'er's heart, Sister Chi'er is the favorite favorite."

Qiao Shi had already stood up and blessed Song Shaoyan and Song Anming, and when he heard Fang's words, he paused slightly, and then smiled: "That's not it!" He was speechless.

Song Xiaochi and Song Anming saluted Fang's family, walked to the kang and teased Song Junmao a few words, and then listened to Song Anming tell Qiao's words: "Juan Niang, you take Brother Mao outside to play for a while."

Qiao Shi was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, Song Anming was very grinning, naturally he didn't find it, Song Xiaochi said: "Big brother, it's cold outside, Brother Mao is very sensible, and he never talks about things at home, Brother Mao said it, isn't it?"

Song Junmao nodded heavily, "Well, Brother Mao didn't say anything, not even Brother Ming." ”

Song Junmao and Song Yiming, the eldest grandson of the second room, is the only fourth generation of the Bofu now, although the relationship between the big house and the second room is very delicate, but because there are very few children of the same age in the house, and now the Bofu has no communication outside, so the relationship between the two little guys is not estranged because of the relationship between the two rooms.

It can be said that for Song Junmao, in addition to the Song family's big house in the house now, the most important person in his heart is Song Yiming, and he guarantees that it is very convincing for the little people.

Fang also said: "Brother Mao has indeed never said anything at home outside."

Song Anming just gave a casual order, feeling that the child's mouth was not solid, and now that his sister and mother said this, he naturally stopped insisting.

"Jade, call the pearl." Song Anming instructed Pearl Dao, who was standing beside Fang's side.

"By the way, and Yulan, she came with me today, saying that she was going to find Jade to receive this month's monthly money." Song Xiaochi hurriedly added.

In the past two years, the monthly money of the Song family has not been sent regularly, and now it has reached the lunar month, and it is almost the New Year, so the monthly money has only been sent once, and the monthly money of the big house is unified by the big girl Jade of Mingxuanju.

After a while, Pearl led the jade magnolia and the three of them came in together, Fang was a little puzzled, she didn't know what Song Anming was going to do, but she didn't ask immediately.

"Mother, has anyone been here?" Song Xiaochi asked, "Is there anyone from the second aunt and the third aunt?" ”

Song Xiaochi was afraid that Fang's would not understand, so he simply said it clearly.

Fang shook his head, "They rarely come to our yard. ”

Qiao Shi also said: "In the past half a year, the second aunt and the third aunt have hardly set foot in Mingxuanju, even Brother Ming sometimes wants to play with Brother Mao, the second aunt and the second brother and sister did not let him come over, only let them play at their grandmother's place, or in the garden outside, as if they were afraid that the ground of our big house would dirty their feet, every time something happened, they just sent the little maid in the yard to come."

There are many more maids and wives in the two-bedroom and three-bedroom courtyards than those in Mingxuanju, and the furnishings are also much richer, so whether it is grand or pattern, it is naturally higher than Mingxuanju.

The third room can barely maintain the grandeur of the Hou Mansion, because the third aunt Xia's dowry is rich, and now there are brothers and sisters-in-law who can make money from time to time, but it may be that Xia's view is more long-term, and wealth is limited to his own yard, and the exposure is not obvious.

As for the second room, it is naturally said to be Du's dowry, but when Du married into the Bofu, the dowry was not much, and the Du family's situation has not been very good in recent years, so when Mrs. Xu came before, Song Xiaohu's dress, Du only said that Du's mother took pity on Song Xiaochi, and melted her own set of heads for Song Xiaochi, and it was not easy to say that it was her own dowry or her mother's direct subsidy.

In fact, it is the excuse used by the Du family, and few people in Bofu believe it.
