It was autumn, and it was getting darker than usual.

The candle flame had been lit on the small table, and the lamp was like a bean, reflecting a rough outline of the two on the window.

Song Yige lowered his eyelids and recalled Fu Yanshan's words just now.

He said: "Your Majesty has been pondering recently, whether to give your brother an idle official position, Lin Ge Lao proposed to send your brother to the Hanlin Academy, you also know that there are quite a lot of idle officials in the Hanlin Academy, but the other one suggested that your brother go to the Guozijian. ”

"You also know that most of the Hanlin Academy is for the purpose of entering the cabinet in the future."

"Besides, your brother has a knighthood, so it is naturally impossible to give an official position too low, at least it should be a subordinate fifth grade."

Song Yige tilted his head and thought for a while: "The five grades of the Hanlin Academy should be a bachelor, while the Guozijian only has the fourth grade of sacrificial wine and the sixth grade of the business, and the business is okay, and the brother's body should be able to support it, but I am afraid that some students will be too noisy, but the Hanlin Academy should be more leisurely." ”

After hearing this, Fu Yanshan smiled and bowed his head: "Indeed." ”

Song Yige smiled and narrowed his eyes: "You also think that Hanlin Academy is more suitable for brother, right?" ”

"Hmm." Facing her smile, Fu Yanshan's eyebrows and eyes stretched his chin, which can be regarded as agreeing with Song Yige's statement, waiting to finish this matter with her, Fu Yanshan looked up at the sky.

Now that dusk has passed, evening has fallen, and the moonlight looms in the clouds, as if to indicate that tomorrow is also a sunny day.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go." Fu Yanshan said, "If you can't finish counting these account books, then wait for me to come over and calculate them with you when I have time, anyway, there is no hurry." ”

Song Yige looked down, he had only counted half of the account book, and covered the book with a smile: "Okay, I'll send you to the shadow wall." ”

"No, I'm quite familiar with the Song Mansion, so why bother you, besides, it's late at night, it's cold outside, you're not in good health, so stay in the house and rest." Fu Yanshan said softly.

Xu is tone was too gentle, which made Song Yige unaccustomed for a moment, she raised her head in astonishment, looked at Fu Yanshan, her face was a little stunned, but she still nodded involuntarily.

Just like before, when she was still Lin Yingluo, she was like this to Shen Tan, resigned herself to it, and she was very well-behaved.

When Fu Yanshan looked at it, he felt a little itchy in his palm, and he wanted to reach out and touch her head like before, but he was still stopped by reason.

He looked down at Song Yige, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "Then I'll leave first today, you can rest early, don't be too tired, now Huaiyang Houfu still has to rely on you." ”

Song Yige nodded: "I understand." ”

It's getting colder and colder today.

When he got up in the daytime, Song Yige felt chills in his bones when he was blown by the cold wind outside the courtyard, and even the breath he breathed out seemed to have turned into a ball of white gas, which slowly dissipated in front of him.

Luzhu was worried about her body, so she added a cloak to her body to keep her out of the cold.

Song Yige lowered her eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhu who was tying her collar: "Do you think I'm really useless now?" ”

"The girl is talking nonsense again." Lu Zhu looked up with a smile, "The girl is good, smart and capable, it's too late for the slaves and maids to envy, how can you think that the girl is useless?" ”

Song Yige smiled: "Did you eat honey today?" Is the little mouth so sweet? ”

Lu Zhu said: "The girl is going to say goodbye to the old lady now, and the little mouth is naturally sweeter, so don't have any more disputes with the old lady." ”

Speaking of this, Song Yige's face collapsed suddenly, and she sighed: "It's not that I want to have a dispute with my grandmother, but that my grandmother has some things that she has done too little consideration." ”

"How long has my brother and sister-in-law been newly married now, and she is like a ghost who wants to stuff people in her brother's room? Don't look at it, now her sister-in-law is something she can provoke. Song Yige complained a little, "Now that Huaiyang Houfu is in decline, many things have to rely on external forces, offending my sister-in-law, is there any benefit?" ”

"What else can I do besides adding a little unhappiness to my brother?" After speaking, Song Yige couldn't help but sigh again, and restrained the complaint in his tone, "Now that my grandmother's body is not very good, remember to send the best charcoal to my grandmother first, followed by my brother, I don't care here, I don't care so much." ”

Luzhu Fushen: "The slave knows." ”

"That's right." Song Yige said again, "I haven't asked about the Zhuang Mansion for a few days, how is the Zhuang Mansion now?" Are Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Zhuang okay? Is there enough money in the house? Their orphans and widows can be cared for well. ”

Lu Zhu sighed: "Girl, your heart is really not ordinary, when is this time, you can still think about the affairs of Zhuangfu." ”

"One thing is more expensive." Song Yige said, patting Lu Zhu's hand, "Let's go." ”

When I went to Rongfutang, not only Song Hengbo was there, but even Xu Sheng was there.

Song Yige turned sideways, shook his head at the few maids guarding the door, and retreated outside the house, standing under the porch.

The porch was ventilated, and after a while, Song Yige was blown cold by the wind.

Lu Zhu couldn't stand it, so she took a few steps forward and said in her ear, "Why don't you go inside and wait?" ”

Song Yige shook his head: "No, I want to say a few words alone with my cousin of the Xu family." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Sheng came out with a smile and picked up the door curtain, and the medicine box was held in his hand by the little boy behind him, and he looked at her with a gentle face: "Isn't it that Cousin Song wants to say something to Xu?" ”

The autumn wind blew her little face a little white, presumably because of the cold, Xu Sheng was about to pick up the curtain to let her in, when she pointed to a stone table outside the courtyard: "Cousin Xu is strong, he must not be afraid of this autumn wind, right?" ”

Xu Sheng shook his head: "I'm naturally not afraid, but my cousin is not necessarily." ”

"I don't have to worry my cousin." Song Yige looked sideways and said to Luzhu, "You go and warm a pot of wine." ”

After speaking, she took the lead and walked to the courtyard, where a stone table was covered with a few fallen leaves.

Xu Sheng followed her leisurely and teased: "Cousin Song turned her face quite quickly, when it was useful, it was the cousin of the Xu family, and when it was useless, she gave me a cold and indifferent sentence to Xu Gongzi, and sent me away." ”

Although what Xu Sheng said was true, Song Yige couldn't help but feel a little weak when he heard it.

She sat down first, the stone chair was cold, she frowned uncomfortably, didn't speak until the green beads warmed the wine, and then poured a cup for him with her own hands, and said with a smile: "I salute my cousin with a glass, if it is cold today, cousin should drink a cup to warm up first." ”

Although Xu Sheng is not very good at drinking on weekdays, he occasionally drinks a few sips when he is in the mood.

He took it generously and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Yige used the warm wine as a hand stove, and after taking a small sip, he used it as a hand stove to hold.

He caught a glimpse of her somewhat pale face, even though there were some different emotions in his heart, but he still said: "What is the matter to be blunt, do you and I still need to be so polite?" ”

"It's not a matter of politeness, but I haven't figured out how to say it." Song Yige said.

Xu Sheng said: "To put it bluntly. ”

Song Yige pondered in her heart for a while, and then raised her eyes and looked at Xu Sheng calmly and detachedly, the feelings in Xu Yes's eyes were too cold, Xu Sheng frowned subconsciously, his intuition was not happy, and he was a little ridiculous in his heart.

"Will my grandmother survive this winter?" After speaking, Song Yige saw Xu Sheng smiling and was about to open his mouth to answer, and said, "I'm not a fool, my cousin doesn't need to perfunctory me, just speak up, I can stand it." ”

The smile on Xu Sheng's face faded in an instant, and it was him who was frowning.

There was silence between the two.

Song Yige was not in a hurry, took a sip of the wine in the cup, and waited for Xu Sheng's answer.

After a long time, Xu Shengcai pretended to smile lightly: "Hearing you say this, I understand that you haven't come to see the old lady for some days, and now she is in good spirits, how can she have a half decadent trend, it's you, think about it more!" ”

"Do I think too much, you and I know this. Now that my grandmother is so spirited, do you know if it is a return to the light? Song Yige's rhetorical question was conclusive, but Xu Sheng was stunned all of a sudden.

In the matter of Mrs. Song, he did lie and deceived everyone.

Now that Huaiyang Hou in the mansion has just left, if the old lady Song falls again, I am afraid that everyone wants to step on the head of the Hou Mansion, this Jinling City is so hot and cold, and most importantly, he is afraid that she will not be able to withstand this blow.

Xu Sheng laughed after hearing this: "What are you thinking, the old lady's body is very good, and it is not a big problem to live for a few more years." ”

"Really?" Song Yige was not half overjoyed, but asked calmly.

In this way, Xu Sheng felt that he was a little flustered, but now he could only admit stubbornly: "Yes, the old lady is fine, don't think about it." ”

"You're not in good shape, so why are you so worried about others?"

Song Yige shrugged and smiled: "It seems that my cousin is really reluctant to tell me the truth, so be it." I'll send you out of the house. ”

"No, you don't." Xu Sheng stopped him, "I'm going to Qingfeng Courtyard to see your brother." ”

"Well, please." Song Yige got up coldly and walked towards the house.

Now that the house is on fire, as soon as I enter the house, I feel that the house is as warm as a spring day, and even the stiff hands and feet have slowly gained a little sense, and they have warmed up.

She rubbed her stiff fingers together and entered the inner room.

The landscape painting screen reflects Song Hengbo's graceful posture, which is exquisite and charming.

Song Yige lowered his head and rubbed his face, which was also a little stiff, and then walked in around the screen with a gentle smile: "Say hello to my grandmother with a song, fourth sister." ”

Song Hengbo looked back with brows: "The seventh sister is here, and I don't know what to say to Imperial Doctor Xu, so I actually chatted about half a pillar of incense?" ”

"I just asked about my grandmother."
