019 A few steps away, above the stairs
Song Huai'an opened his eyes again and was awakened by hunger, only to see that there was already a candle flame in the house, and the sky outside was already dark, Song Huaian rubbed his eyes in confusion, and was stunned for a while before he got his brain back.
"You're awake."
Suddenly hearing Xiao Qiao's voice, Song Huaian was stunned for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at the little girl holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, walking in front of her from outside the house, and asked as if nothing had happened.
"You've slept all day, aren't you hungry?"
"I'm hungry."
Song Huai'an took the bowl as he spoke, and ate it quickly, which made Xiao Qiao chatter again.
"No one robbed you, and there was still one in the stove if you didn't eat enough, so I'll just serve it to you."
Song Huaian hurriedly shook her head, saying that as long as this bowl is good, she handed the bowl to Xiao Qiao after eating, and after sleeping for a day, Song Huaian took clean clothes from the cabinet and ran to take a bath.
The cold water rushed down from his head, Song Huai'an's whole body shivered, and the cold shower at night was really a little exciting.
After taking a bath, Song Huaian also rubbed her clothes by the way, and when she returned to the room after all the things were cleaned up, she saw that Xiao Qiao was already lying on the bed and asleep, she looked at the little girl's round little face, raised her hand and pinched it.
"I'll spank you next time I don't obey."
Song Huaian just pinched it gently, but he didn't expect Xiao Qiao, who should have been asleep, to open his eyes, and his eyes that were always clever and chaotic were slightly red at this time, and he was a little cowardly and stubborn.
Looking at Xiao Qiao like this, Song Huai'an only felt a choke in his chest, raised his hands and hugged this stubborn and sensible little head in his arms.
"It's okay, Xiao Qiao, don't think about anything, Sister Huai'an has silver, and soon my sister will go to Shengfu as an apprentice, do you know how many people can't go if they want to? When my sister becomes an apprentice, she will have monthly money every month, and she can learn the craft, and we will be very good in the future......"
The little girl in her arms seemed to be uncontrollable at last, and a slight sobbing sound smashed on Song Huai'an's chest.
"I'm sorry...... Xiao Qiao's voice choked, "Sister Huai'an...... I'm sorry...... I shouldn't, shouldn't have said that......"
Song Huaian gently patted Xiao Qiao's back, she understood, how could she not understand?
Because they have endured hardships, they know that silver is important, and because the two of them are still wandering, they are unwilling to ask her for more.
"Listen to my sister's words and go to study at the female gentleman's place, it won't cost much silver."
"Do you know Xiao Qiao, there are many real relatives in this world who turn against each other, but some of them meet each other, but they cherish each other, blood is not so important, what matters is your heart."
Xiao Qiao cried in Song Huai'an's arms for a long time, and finally fell asleep as if he was tired of crying, Song Huai'an patted Xiao Qiao's back and sighed heavily.
Life is sometimes very simple, sometimes it is very difficult, I hope she can also find stability in this other world.
Because he slept for a long time during the day, Song Huai'an didn't close his eyes until very late, and in the middle of the night, it suddenly rained heavily in Ningzhou City, and the rain hit the eaves and made a crackling sound, and the originally noisy insects in the courtyard were quiet at this time.
The rain fell for a long time, and it didn't stop until the sky turned white, and the originally hot Ningzhou City cooled down instantly because of the rain.
After getting up, Song Huai'an made up in the mirror for the first time and straightened out his appearance.
Xiao Qiao seems to be embarrassed or awkward because of what happened last night, in short, there was no one early in the morning, and I heard Chu Yan say that she followed the landlord Aunt Jiang out to buy breakfast.
It's really strange, an iron rooster that plucks its feathers.
Song Huai'an smiled secretly, and when he cleaned up, he picked up the post and prepared to go to the Sheng family to sign up.
I heard that this annual apprentice recruitment is before the Dragon Boat Festival, and seeing that tomorrow is the fifteenth, I am afraid that it will be too late to go today.
Chu Yan was practicing his fists and feet in the courtyard at this time, and as soon as he saw Song Huai'an, his fist swinging action stopped, and he saw that his face was slightly gloomy, staring straight at the woman who was obviously different from usual.
"The prince hasn't come yet, who are you dressed up for?"
Song Huai'an was said by Chu Yan as if something was out of the wall, and his eyebrows raised angrily, "Anyway, it's not for you, I want you to take care of it!" ”
After Song Huaian finished speaking, he slammed the door and walked out of the courtyard.
This is not good, Chu Yan hurriedly picked up the sword and hurriedly followed, the master asked him to protect Song Huai'an, in case he was kept by other men, he Chu Yan still had the face to return to the Jingwang Mansion?
It's better to apologize directly for the sin.
But these days, he is staring, and he doesn't see any suspicious men? Chu Yan squinted and peeked at Song Huai'an, only to see that she was still in a good mood with spring in the corners of her eyes.
- Sure enough, this is very bad.
Originally, the journey to the Sheng family was a bit far, and along the way, Chu Yan always knocked on the side and asked questions, annoying Song Huai to death, this kid, who is young next year, is really a character with a bit of identity. was such a chicken woman, and said that Kou Jingyu ordered him to protect her, and she saw that Kou Jingyu sent him away.
"I'm just going to Sheng Mansion to recruit apprentices, what's the mess, what are you thinking about all day long, huh?"
Every time Song Huai'an said a word, his finger tapped Chu Yan's head, and Chu Yan took half a step back.
"Sheng Family ......"
Although he was treated like this, Chu Yan was not angry, not only was he not angry, but his expression on his face was relaxed, and he was even a little comfortable.
"Then you go, anyway......"
Although the Sheng family no longer asks about the affairs of the court, in the end, it is still a prestigious family with a head and a face, and Song Huai'an, except for the master, a man with a little vision should not take a fancy to it.
Song Huai'an looked at Chu Yan's self-evident little expression, which was simply unbearable, and raised his foot and kicked on Chu Yan's calf.
"You go back for me, and then follow, and I'll go to the official."
Chu Yan touched his calf, his expression was very disapproving, thinking to himself that you should go, anyway, Ningzhou City is also in the prince's fiefdom, he doesn't believe that any official dares to arrest him.
Despite this, Chu Yan did not follow up again, Song Huaian thought that he was afraid of her intimidation, but he didn't know that Chu Yan knew that Kou Jingyu was in the Sheng Mansion at this time.
If the master is here, he should not be needed, Chu Yan touched his chin and watched Song Huai'an leave.
Before arriving at Shengfu, Song Huaian had been nervous about how to identify himself, and even thought of several opening remarks like a graduate applying for a job for the first time in the company as a backup.
And when she walked to the door of the Sheng Mansion, she found that her previous thoughts were superfluous, in front of the towering Sheng Mansion, Song Huaixin was standing in a pavilion, and standing next to her was Sheng Jin with an indifferent expression, and the moment she appeared, the eyes of both of them turned to her.
"You did come anyway."
Song Huai'an listened to Song Huaixin's voice, and had an indescribable weird feeling, as if he had been greeted and seen through......
"Yes, I'm here."
Song Huai'an hesitated a little, his eyes looked at Song Huaixin who was standing on the steps a few steps away, and finally shouted.
"Sister."
