239, Congrong
"What are you going to do in the future?"
The Song family has more than a dozen people in total, and it is impossible to always rely on the help of the Jin family to live.
"In addition to being sentenced to exile by the Song family, they were also sentenced to be banned from participating in the imperial examination for three generations, and they can't participate in the imperial examination, how to revitalize the Song family?" Song Wencai's face was confused, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy after all, he had always been golden and noble and did not try the hardships of the world, and suddenly encountered the decay of his family, and it was normal to taste the warmth and coldness of human affection, and not see the direction of the future.
"Do you remember how the Song family started?" Xu Shu reminded.
"Joining the army from Rong?" Song Wencai is a little unsure, the Song family prospered in troubled times, and relied on military merits to be crowned an earl, but now in a peaceful and prosperous era, how can it be so easy to establish meritorious service?
Xu Shu nodded, "There are many criminals who have been confiscated into the army and have relied on military merits to get away with their crimes, you might as well think about it!" ”
Song Wencai nodded solemnly, thought about it again and again and took out an envelope from his arms, "This is the divorce letter, I wrote it in my father's handwriting, I copied it for a long time, no one can see that it is fake, and the seal on it was also stamped by my father's seal secretly!" The Song family is like this now, and they can't drag down the innocent anymore! I know, if your tenth sister doesn't want to marry me, you have a thousand ways to get her out of this family business, this letter of divorce is not of much use to you, it's just that this is the only thing I can do for you at the moment, and I will slowly repay your kindness to the Song family! ”
Xu Shu didn't take the envelope, "Since it's not very useful, then there's no need!" You're right, if the tenth sister doesn't want to marry, I naturally have a way for her not to marry, but if she is willing to marry, then I won't stop her! ”
Song Wencai was stunned, what Xu Shu meant by this...... Could it be......
"I talked to Tenth Sister before you came, and she has her own opinion on this family matter, so let her make her own decisions! It's just that I also hope that you can promise me, if the tenth sister is unintentional, I hope you don't make it difficult for others! ”
Song Wencai nodded, lowered his eyelids to hide his disappointment, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
"You have a relationship with the Rongguo Mansion......" The ghost sent the gods, Song Wencai suddenly came to such a sentence, and he was shocked and rude as soon as he spoke.
Xu Shu didn't mind teasing, "You haven't been back for a long time, but you're not idle at all, I've even heard of this!" ”
Song Wencai blushed slightly, if it weren't for Xu Shu's connection, he wouldn't have bothered to listen to other people's gossip after dinner, "It's the Qi family who is not worthy of you!" ”
Xu Shu suddenly couldn't help laughing, her laughter was a little happy, "Your tone is the same as that of the eldest sister!" But when Xu Jing said this, she was protecting her shortcomings, so what was Song Wencai? Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Shu's face faded, and when she connected with Zhou's obvious avoidance just now, the smile disappeared completely, and some things really made her afraid to avoid it.
Xu Shu's face changed Song Wencai saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but panic, did he say something wrong? "I ...... I ......"
"Second Lady Song should come back!" Xu Shu glanced outside, and shouted, "Step on the snow, call Yuanyuan and Jingjing back, after going for so long, Second Lady Song should be tired!" ”
Song Wencai sighed softly, full of distress, Xu Shu has a weird temperament, she is really elusive, she speaks well, why did she suddenly turn her face?
But Xu Shu never said a word more to Song Wencai, until Song Wencai's mother and son left.
"Miss......"
After the mother and son of the Song family left, Xu Shu leaned on the table in a daze for a long time, and Taxue couldn't help but scream.
Xu Shu turned around when she heard this, "Let's go see the eldest sister tomorrow, and then call the fourth sister too!" I haven't seen my eldest sister for a while, so I miss her! ”
Treading Xue smiled and said, "Miss, you forgot?" The fourth aunt was awarded the Jinshi this year, received a position from the outside, and is about to take office, but I am afraid that the fourth aunt and grandmother will not be free! ”
Xu Shu retorted, "It's precisely because I'm leaving, I'm going to go, and I can't come back for three or five years!" ”
Taxue smiled and shook her head, she went to make arrangements, and when she heard that she was going to see Xu Jing, Xu Ru agreed without saying anything.
Since the showdown with the Sun family, not long after Xu Jing moved to Xiangzhu Courtyard, she reopened the door from the side wall and completely cut off contact with the Sun family.
Xu Shu arrived at the side door first, and before she got off the carriage, she heard another sound of horses' hooves, stepping on the snow road, "The fourth aunt and grandmother are here!" ”
Xu Shu hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Ruiming who got off the carriage first, "Ninth sister!" ”
"Fourth brother-in-law!"
Zhang Ruiming got out of the carriage first before turning around and helping Xu Ru down, holding her arm carefully, for fear that she would be knocked somewhere, and the girls on the side who looked cautiously couldn't help but snicker.
"Ninth Sister!" Xu Ru let go of Zhang Ruiming's hand and naturally walked to Xu Shu's side.
Zhang Ruiming told behind him, "You can play for a while, I'll pick you up when I'm done!" ”
Xu Ru blushed slightly, but still nodded, and Zhang Ruiming said again, "There is Lao Jiumei, take care of Mrs. more!" ”
Xu Ru's face turned even redder, urging Zhang Ruiming to leave, "Don't you still have something to do?" Go for it! Saying that, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, someone inside opened the door in response, and saw that it was Xu Ru and Xu Shu, and hurriedly welcomed the two in, Zhang Ruiming left with peace of mind when he saw this.
Xu Shu quipped, "The fourth brother-in-law really loves the fourth sister!" ”
Xu Ru touched his stomach and said, "He hurts me, he just hurts the meat in my stomach!" ”
"Fourth sister, are you pregnant?" Xu Shu turned her head in surprise, "Why do you have to follow the fourth brother-in-law to the post when you are pregnant?" ”
Xu Shu didn't say the latter words, but Xu Ru had already understood.
"That's what I just discovered! Originally, he was going to stay in the capital, but it was easier to make political achievements and be promoted faster, so his in-laws used his relationship to let him go abroad, but I found out that I was pregnant at this time, and my husband wanted to resign from his foreign position, but then it would be a waste of my in-laws' minds. ”
If the Zhang family knew that Xu Ru was pregnant at this time, they would definitely leave Xu Ru to raise a baby in the capital, but Zhang Ruiming could not have no one to take care of him, so Aunt Tongfang would follow, and after three or five years Zhang Ruiming came back, there would be countless concubines around him and a group of concubines, which Xu Ru did not want to see, so he could only take the risk of hiding the pregnancy and follow Zhang Ruiming to take office.
"Then you have to be extra careful!" Xu Shu looked at Xu Ru worriedly, running all the way, and didn't know if Xu Ru's body could resist.
Xu Ru smiled, "Don't worry, I'm measured, besides, I've been used to doing rough work since I was a child, my body is good, this child is also considerate, it's been almost three months, and I don't vomit or vomit!" ”
"Fourth sister pregnant?" As soon as Xu Jing came out, she saw Xu Ru touching her stomach, and the surprise on her face was no less than that of Xu Shu.
