Chapter 44: The golden cicada sheds its shell
The Song family has a total of three children, all of whom were born to the main mother Cai, the eldest daughter Song Shaoshu is the concubine of the six palaces, and the second son is Song Shaohuai, the eldest son of the Song family, who is a man who does not learn and does not know how to do it. And the third child of the Song family, Song Shaoxiang, he is simply a freak.
Although Song Shaohuai is a gentleman and a stingy master, he knows that in the Song family, as long as he coaxes the old lady to be happy and hugs his grandmother's waist tightly, no one can do anything to him.
But Song Shaoxiang is a ten-out of ten ice lump, in addition to studying medical skills, he is concocting pills. In his house, except for Song Shaohuai, his father and mother were not allowed to enter. In the apricot courtyard, except for a little girl who grew up with him and was called a disease-free girl, there was not even an elderly mother-in-law, let alone a maid who was as beautiful as a spring flower.
It's not that Cai's doesn't allocate manpower, but Song Shaoxiang can't bear the noisy girls and sons-in-law, which makes him so annoyed that he simply threw them all out in a fit of anger. Although the apricot courtyard is full of pink apricots, none of the maids dare to approach.
Old Taijun Yuan saw that Song Shaoxiang was obsessed with medicine, so he was exempted from morning and dusk. Cai's is his mother, needless to say, and Song Ping is a filial son, and it is inconvenient for him to dismiss his mother's acquiescence.
Gradually, Song Shaoxiang didn't even eat with his family. When it was time to eat, Wu Ji went to the kitchen to get the food box and went back, and he could eat whenever he wanted.
Song Shaoxiang was almost forgotten in this family, so as soon as it became a mess, no one remembered that there was a ready-made doctor at home.
After listening to Cai's words, Aunt Duan Yun woke up like a dream, she took the red plum and gold hairpin on her bun, held the maid's hand, and hurriedly went to the apricot courtyard.
Duan Yun is Cai's dowry girl, and when Cai's was pregnant with her daughter, she personally made the decision to let her husband Song Ping accept the house. Later, Duan gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately died. Since then, she has been serving in Cai's room, and the relationship between master and servant is very good.
This is also one of the things that makes Song Ping have a lot of face. Su Yan married an aunt and almost hit the Jinluan Palace, making him laugh for several days.
Song Shaoxiang, who was wearing a cyan homely robe, hurriedly came with a medicine box, Song Shaohuai had been stripped off his outer clothes by several beautiful maids, and his underwear was also torn off and could not be covered.
"Who is so ruthless, beating my good grandson like this?!" As soon as Mrs. Yuan saw the bruises on Song Shaohuai's body, she was about to go crazy.
"Mother, it's common to fall and beat in the barracks." Song Ping took a look at it and determined that it was all flesh wounds.
"Rabbit cub, you were so muddy back then, and your father didn't send you to a wolf's den like that! It's that you're ruthless, and you say it's an ordinary thing. The old lady picked up the crutches and hit Song Ping.
Poor Song Ping is also a dignified Shang Shuling, he knelt down: "Mother, don't be angry, it's all bad for your son." ”
"Hmph, it's good to know, you can quickly find a way to get my grandson out of that cannibalistic cage." The old lady snorted angrily.
"This ......" Song Ping was speechless, at the beginning, he whispered and begged someone to send it in, but now it is only three months, and he asks someone to release it, this matter will be spread, and his face will be lost.
"I'm not leaving the Beijing Patrol Camp!" Song Shaohuai said anxiously despite the fact that his wrist was being grabbed by Song Shaoxiang.
As soon as he said this, don't talk about Yuan Lao Taijun and Song Ping, even Song Shaoxiang looked at his face. It's like seeing a monster.
"Good grandson, is it that the person who beat you is trying to blackmail you? Don't be afraid, where the trouble is to the Son of Heaven, I will also go to the Jinluan Hall for you to reason. The old lady leaned her crutches.
"Grandma." Song Shaohuai was so moved in his heart that he almost burst into tears. Song Shaoxiang turned his head and concentrated on the pulse again.
"Grandma, do you know who hit me?" Song Shaohuai raised his face, and there was actually a proud expression in his eyes.
"No one!" The old lady had a tiger face.
"It's King Yan. Look at my muscles, it's very strong. Song Shaohuai deliberately puffed out the poor muscles on his arms to show them.
"King Yan? Xiao Lao Jiu has led troops? The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with suspicion.
"Yes, mother. King Yan has been in the limelight recently, he has just cracked the Huizhou imperial examination cheating case, and now he has just received an errand to patrol the Beijing camp. Song Ping interjected.
"Well, Xiao Lao Jiu has the wind of a father. Huai'er followed him, but I was relieved. The old lady's anger vanished at once.
"Grandma, we have an appointment tomorrow to go to Zuixian Mansion to eat crab roe soup dumplings." Song Shaohuai said a little ostentatiously.
"Brother, it's not a big deal, just take some medicine to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and it will be fine in a few days." Song Shaoxiang put away the medicine box and wanted to leave.
"Bhoo, belch, belch, come back. It's rare for me to be at home, have a meal with me, and go to my house later to give me medicine. "Song Shaohuai at this time is an uncle, and the score is sufficient.
The maid was busy again, added dishes and chopsticks, heated the dishes again, and the family finally sat down to eat.
Song Shaohuai stuffed the food into his mouth, swallowed it in two bites, and Aunt Duan hurriedly scooped a bowl of matsutake and bamboo soup and handed it to him, and he drank it in one go.
"What a system!" Song Ping, who regarded the etiquette rules as bigger than the sky, couldn't stand it and said angrily.
"Why are you so loud. Look at my grandson's hunger, eat slowly! The old lady kept picking vegetables.
"Everyone eats like this in the camp of the patrol capital, if the enemy comes, how can they have the kung fu to chew and swallow slowly!" Song Shaohuai rolled his eyes innocently.
When Song Ping heard this, he choked for a while and remained silent. He secretly wondered, did this son really change sex?
"Oops, this is at home, no hurry." The old lady is so distressed, this person who is sleeping outside eats and eats, and I don't know how many sins I have suffered.
"I'm done!" Song Shaohuai dropped the dishes and chopsticks and leaned on the chair with satisfaction. The maid hurriedly handed over water and a wet towel, rinsed her mouth and wiped her hands.
"I also eat well, grandma, father, and mother use it slowly." Song Shaoxiang ate less and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Then, let's hurry up and rub the medicine. Don't disturb me at night, and read a book. Song Shaohuai grabbed Song Shaoxiang and left.
"Look at it, Huai'er doesn't know how to be motivated! You only know how to beat and scold all day long, and you are scared to death, how can you become a weapon! "The old lady is down to Song Ping.
"Yes, yes, my mother taught me." Song Shaohuai said it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but he was beaten so badly just that he had to stay in the Beijing patrol camp to watch, Song Ping felt that he had made the right bet on what he did.
"You have to find him at night, but you only have seven days off, and you have to read books and stay up late at night." As Mrs. Yuan spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"My son doesn't dare, he doesn't dare." Song Ping was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, even if Song Shaohuai violated the rules of heaven at this time, he didn't care.
The master and servant of the Duan clan of the Cai family, together with the maids and wives underground, all hurriedly came to comfort the old lady, and they were in a hurry. After a while, I sat down again to eat.
"Mrs. Ji, you go to inform the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building at night, and Ming'er will clear the scene and not accept foreign guests. The good wine and good food were prepared, and the young masters went, and they waited carefully with twelve points, and finally stayed up until the holiday, so that they could enjoy themselves and relax. The old lady commanded.
"Oh, don't wait for the evening, I'll go." Mrs. Ji is an old lady who has accumulated years in the old lady's house, and she is reliable.
Zuixianlou is one of the old lady's dowries, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not, and the eldest grandson's face can't be lost.
Song Shaohuai's courtyard is full of flowers and trees, and vines are entangled. The beautiful maids in a yard are dressed in red and green, with hairpin rings, and they are more noble than the girls of ordinary people outside. When they saw him come back, they all gathered around him, laughing and playing with him.
Only the big girl Forsythia is more sensible, and Cai's has already come to inform her, so she hurriedly stopped everyone and let the two young masters enter the back room.
Poria cocos poured two cups of jasmine on the pastel pot-flowered tea, and then quietly withdrew.
Song Shaohuai's house was extremely exquisite, with a thick blanket of camel-bottomed begonia yellow orioles on the ground, and there was no sound at all when he walked up.
Five carved rosewood screens separate the room, and the elevated hoarding arhat bed is covered with a silk yarn back-pattern tent, and the bed is covered with a dark red Suzhou embroidered gold brocade quilt, as well as two soft pillows with ten spiced raccoon flowers.
In front of the window outside, there is a silk curtain of the spirit beast Chengxiang embroidery, there is an enamel lotus powder bottle on the rosewood carved case, and another blue glazed amphora is inserted in the branches and vines that are freshly picked in the courtyard, although there are no gorgeous flowers, but it feels elegant and refined.
"Big brother, you lie down, I'll rub the medicine for you." Song Shaoxiang doesn't like the incense in this house very much, it's too sweet and makes people sleepy.
The charcoal in the Qinghe smoker was also added, and after taking a sip of tea, there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Third brother, don't worry, I just ask you, how does the eldest brother treat you?" Song Shaohuai waved his hand and asked him to sit on a rosewood carved chair with a thick cushion embroidered with blue and white butterflies.
In the winter many years ago, the young Song Shaoxiang accidentally fell into the lotus pond in the back garden, and it happened that Song Shaohuai skipped school and slipped into the back garden to play. Therefore, their brother's relationship has always been very determined.
Which one is this going to sing? Every time this big brother pulls him to do something unreliable, he makes this opening remark.
Song Shaoxiang replied: "The eldest brother is naturally good to me. ”
"Then, big brother, please do something." Song Shaohuai waited for this sentence, and asked by the way.
Song Shaoxiang looked at him clearly, this big brother has been acting until now, and he is finally going to see the dagger.
"Say it." There was no way for him to refuse, because his brother must have ten thousand ways to get him to agree.
"After a while, you will pretend to read in my room, and when you are tired, you will sleep here. I snuck out and went down. Song Shaohuai blinked slyly.
"How's that going to work? It's night, and the grandmothers want to check the night. Song Shaoxiang was a little anxious.
"It's okay, it's okay. They didn't dare to check it in Xingyuan, I behaved so well today, and I wouldn't check it. I'll tell Forsythia that if it's true, she'll have a way to deal with it. Song Shaohuai seemed to have expected Song Shaoxiang to ask this, so he said the countermeasures.
"Where are you in a hurry, don't you ......" Song Shaoxiang blushed, he had also heard of his brother's romantic history.
"It's time for the third brother to open his mind, there is only one in Xingyuan who is disease-free, should you ...... Hey. Song Shaohuai raised his eyebrows with an expression you understand.
"Big brother, don't be untrustworthy and tarnish my name!" Song Shaoxiang's face was red to his neck, like blood, and he was really annoyed.
"So, I want to put a few girls in the house, and it's not eye-catching to look at. If you don't like the delicate and bright, I'll find you a few ugly ones. Song Shaohuai didn't mean to let him go at all, just a hippie smile in front of him.
"Whoever wants a girl, you go quickly, don't bother me to read." Song Shaoxiang really couldn't stand it, so he had to pick people up.
"Third brother, tomorrow I will go to the Drunken Immortal Tower with my brother and get to know my brother." Song Shaohuai patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's talk about it." Song Shaoxiang put on a not uncommon appearance.
"You just sit with your back and read, and you don't care who comes." Song Shaohuai surrounded the black mink fur and turned back to Song Shaoxiang and said.
"Hmm." Song Shaoxiang didn't look back at him, but only took out the book from the medicine box and read it.
Song Shaohuai secretly went out of the small door, told Forsythia a few words, called his henchman Mai Dong, tiptoed to carry the ladder, found a low wall, and quickly climbed out.
