Chapter 350: Misfortune is not a one-way street

When night came, Chen Xiangmeng was still ready to let Song Xinyi and Qi Ercheng stay in the county to rest first, and Qi Ercheng never came out of the failed exam.

Song Xinyi specially bought wine, went to Qi Ercheng's room, and called Chen Xiangmeng, originally after the township test, Chen Xiangmeng should have returned to the capital, but he didn't go back for a long time.

Qi Ercheng sat at the table in a distraction, watching Song Xinyi and Chen Xiangmeng come over, his eyes became even more indifferent, "Sister-in-law, I'm so useless, I still can't share anything for my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

Song Xinyi gave Chen Xiangmeng a look, and Chen Xiangmeng skimmed off his shelf and sat opposite Qi Ercheng, "It's okay, you will definitely succeed in three years, this time it will be a small ordeal, I also believe that you can serve the imperial court." ”

Song Xinyi handed the wine to Chen Xiangmeng, "Drink, forget all the unhappy things after drinking." ”

The shadows of the three of them under the green candle magnified on the wooden door, and at this moment, a guard came in from outside the door, "Chen Shangshu." He shouted as he stood in the doorway.

Chen Xiangmeng tilted his head slightly, "Is there something wrong?" If it's okay, don't bother me just yet. ”

The guard took out a list, "This is the list of the brave men who have died on the border, and all the important people have received it, and this is a copy sent to you." ”

Qi Ercheng and Song Xinyi both stared at the list in the guard's hand, and Chen Xiangmeng walked over to take it, "Okay, you can go down." ”

Returning to his position, looking at the expressions of the two of them who wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, he said with some regret, "These are all sacrifices for the country, and they are all heroes." ”

He opened the list, and the first and most eye-catching name in the first line was Qi Rui, who had the same surname as Qi Ercheng, and the name placed at the beginning had an important position in the army.

"What's your big brother's name?" Chen Xiangmeng seemed to feel a hint of foreboding, and he swallowed.

Qi Ercheng looked at Song Xinyi before he said slowly, "My brother's name is Qi Rui." ”

Sure enough, Chen Xiangmeng took a deep breath, and then handed the list to Song Xinyi, "You should mourn and change." ”

Listening to the meaning of the words, Song Xinyi's body stiffened, and even she didn't notice that her hands had begun to tremble, she lowered her eyebrows and saw that the word Qi Rui was very conspicuous.

"Sister-in-law, it's really... Is there a big brother name? Qi Ercheng only felt that his hair was dizzy, the township test was smashed, and the disaster was not a one-way street, and he also received the news that his eldest brother died on the battlefield.

Chen Xiangmeng said on the side, "In the first position, it is stated that this person is the general or staff officer of the corps. ”

When Song Xinyi came back from Qi Rui, she never asked about things on the battlefield, he was also silent and rarely spoke, and he never came back since he left that day.

Song Xinyi poured a glass of wine directly, raised her hand, and put the whole glass of wine into her stomach, "The husband who gave it away for nothing is gone, what am I doing here." ”

She muttered in a low voice, her brows were about to wrinkle into a mountain, Qi Ercheng was picked up by Qi Rui, and when she picked it up, it was when Qi Rui first went to the countryside.

So long and ten years have passed.

Qi Ercheng is no longer a seven-year-old child, and Qi Rui is already twenty-five years old.

Chen Xiangmeng took the wine in Song Xinyi's hand unhappily, "People can't be resurrected after death, you better come out of your grief quickly." "Love the Book House

The corners of Song Xinyi's eyes moistened unconsciously, remembering that when Qi Rui carried herself to protect herself, she looked at Qi Ercheng, maybe God let her come over, just to help Qi Rui take care of Qi Ercheng and Qi Liuer.

Qi Er was looking at what decision he made, "Sister-in-law, if you want to remarry, just remarry, you are still so young, you don't have to put your mind on me and Liu'er." ”

Song Xinyi is no longer the Song Xinyi she used to be, she is now elegant and good-looking, she has never given birth to children, and she has a lot of craftsmanship, this kind of woman will definitely be earned to marry.

"What nonsense are you talking about, I won't leave you, when I go back tomorrow, we will come to this county with Liu'er, that small village, we will never go again."

This is the first time that Song Xinyi has crossed over and wants to change the environment and people she lives in, "We have to depend on each other." ”

However, after Qi Ercheng lost his eldest brother and failed the township test, it was impossible for him to come out quickly, and the hope of the whole family was on Song Xinyi's shoulders alone.

After the three of them drank, Song Xinyi and Qi Ercheng fell asleep deeply, Chen Xiangmeng had to take Qi Ercheng to Song Xinyi's room with great difficulty, and Song Xinyi had already slept on Qi Ercheng's bed.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiangmeng had already prepared the carriage, "Don't be too sad when you go back today, when you want to come to the capital one day, you will come to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials to find me." ”

Qi Ercheng helped Song Xinyi to the car and said to Chen Xiangmeng, "Thank you for taking care of you for the past two days." He clenched his fists, and his white clothes fluttered.

"It's okay, I'm friends with Song Xinyi, here, let's get on the road, go back early to take care of Liu'er." Chen Xiangmeng patted him on the shoulder, as if encouraging.

The carriage left, and Song Xinyi lifted the curtain and looked at Chen Xiangmeng, "Goodbye, thank you." ”

Qi Ercheng sat in the car in frustration, and Song Xinyi sat next to him, "I don't need to mention the death of Qi Rui to Liu'er after I go back." ”

Qi Ercheng nodded, it happened too suddenly, and he said with a hint of crying, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't provoked others, there wouldn't have been such a thing." ”

When Song Xinyi went there yesterday, the township exam had already ended, and she didn't ask what happened, "What happened to the exam?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Qi Ercheng was angry and didn't come anywhere, "A few days before the township exam, I just went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to provoke the famous Zhang Mo, and he was wronged and plagiarized by him during the exam. ”

"Sister-in-law believes you, Ercheng must not plagiarize."

After traveling for a few days, it can be regarded as arriving in the countryside, and Qi Liu'er directly fell into Qi Ercheng's arms after seeing the two of them, "Uncle, you are back, you want to die." ”

Qi Ercheng picked up Qi Liu'er, Qi Liu'er's white and tender little face was completely different from before he left, "Liu'er is good-looking and has become a big boy." ”

Song Xinyi and Qi Ercheng returned to the house, but they didn't expect the coachman in the carriage to say to Song Xinyi, "This is given to you by Chen Shangshu, you will definitely be able to use it." ”

Chen Xiangmeng is rich, can't he say anything if he wants to send Song Xinyi?

Song Xinyi has been packing up her things since the evening, and Qi Ercheng is still sitting at the table in a daze.

"Don't be in a daze there, your books or something, take them with you, you pack up." Song Xinyi said.

Qi Ercheng turned his head, "What is there to clean up, what about three years, do I have to take the exam again after three years?" He finally spoke his mind.

The most important thing for a man is to work hard, where there are three years left for him to squander.
