From dark to dawn, it is actually only a matter of a few hours, but as far as Song Yige is concerned, it seems to be as long as a lifetime, until the sun sets and the moon rises, spring and summer alternate, mountains and rivers are subverted, and the old scenes of the old people are all gone.

When the sky was slightly green, the red silk hanging in the mansion had been taken off and replaced with a white cloth to hang up, and the whole Hou Mansion was filled with unspeakable sorrow.

Fu Yanshan didn't send anyone over, she didn't bother to pay attention to him, after having breakfast in the room, she shrank on the Luohan bed and looked at the account book, Lu Zhu took out her usual abacus and put it in her hand, and before she could move the abacus beads, a girl stumbled in outside: "Seventh girl, someone is in the palace." ”

Song Yige, who had expected it for a long time, didn't find it unbelievable, she calmly asked Lu Zhu what was wrong with her hair and clothes today, and after getting a definite answer, Song Yige took a group of maids and ladies to the lobby to welcome guests.

The sun is in full bloom, and the branches and leaves are drawn out of the canopy, and it is already autumn, but the courtyard is still full of life, like spring.

took over Song Yimo's holy decree from the hands of the inner servant, but she didn't have any feeling in her heart, but felt that the holy decree in her hand was heavy, as if there was a thousand catties of burden, pressing on her shoulders, and she couldn't breathe.

After receiving the holy decree, Song Yige glanced at Lu Zhu, who smiled and took out the money bag in his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the waiter: "Father-in-law has worked hard, these are just some of the thoughts of our girls, and I hope that my father-in-law is not too little, and he can buy a drink to drink." ”

The waiter weighed the weight of the money bag in his hand, and then smiled happily: "Miss Song Qi is so polite, she really doesn't dare to be a sprinkler." ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain tucked the money bag into his sleeve.

Song Yige just didn't see it, and laughed softly: "I suddenly heard the bad news of my father today, and I hurt my heart, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, I ask my father-in-law to be more understanding and compassionate." ”

The waiter smiled and waved his hand: "Miss Song Qi is worthy of being the concubine of the Song family, this etiquette is very good, but the Sprinkle family still has affairs to go back to the palace to deal with, so I won't bother the girl to deal with the Hou Ye's funeral." ”

Song Yige blessed the body: "Then I'll let Luzhu send it to my father-in-law." ”

"Thank you, Seventh Girl."

The two of them played an official tone, and after a while, they let the green beads send people away.

Seeing that the green beads were gone, the maid behind her stepped forward very brightly, stood beside Song Yige instead of the green beads, and reached out to support her.

Song Yige glanced sideways, and after seeing the maid's low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, he didn't say anything in the end, which was regarded as acquiescing to the maid's assertions.

"Go to my brother."

Yesterday, Ling Qing was sick in front of Old Madam Song's bed and didn't come back, which is also a normal thing.

She asked the little maid to roll up the door curtain, and the sun shined through the rolled up door curtain, Song Yimo squinted his eyes not very accustomed, turned his head, and saw that it was Song Yige, but he was a little surprised: "Ge'er, why are you here?" ”

"He who has come to give the holy decree to his brother." Song Yige shook the holy decree in his hand, and bowed pretendedly, "I haven't said hello to the little marquis yet." ”

Song Yimo looked at her pretending face, and felt very interesting, he smiled and pointed to the empty seat opposite: "Why did you think about coming over today?" ”

"Congratulations, now you are the Hou Ye."

In this regard, Song Yimo didn't think much about it: "The son inherits his father's business, what is there to congratulate, this glory should not belong to me from beginning to end." ”

Seeing that his face was pale, and there was no moment of joy after inheriting the title, the smile on Song Yige's face also faded: "Father has left, but our life still has to go on, if no one in the Hou Mansion can inherit it, it is necessary to inherit one from the clan, or directly let His Majesty cut off this position, brother can now inherit your father's title, it is already a great joy." ”

Song Yimo looked up at her and sighed: "In the end, you have grown up, if you were in the past, how could you say such profound and righteous words." ”

The so-called speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, which probably refers to Song Yige.

After she heard Song Yimo's words, she instantly felt a sigh in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face.

She put the holy decree in Song Yimo's hand: "The father-in-law who came to read the holy decree just now said that Daddy's bones are almost in the house, let us prepare first." ”

Song Yimo bowed his head, indicating that he had understood what she meant, and then he said, "Is Qing'er still with her grandmother now?" ”

Song Yige thought for a while and nodded: "Well, there is no news of the little sister-in-law leaving Rongfu Hall in Huixue Courtyard, so she must be still waiting in front of her grandmother's bed at the moment." ”

"I didn't come back all night, but I worked hard for her." Song Yimo said to himself, and the distress in his eyes was even more clear, as if someone didn't know that they were in love.

After waiting for Song Gusheng's bones to be transported back from Huaiyang, Song Jinxiu and Song Hengbo entered the gate of the Hou Mansion one after the other.

The two of them have no relationship with Huaiyang Hou, after all, Huaiyang Hou has not stayed in the mansion for many years, even if they used to have admiration, but as they grew older, that thought naturally became more and more indifferent, because they heard the news of Song Gu's life and death, they were not sad, but they were faintly not very happy in their hearts.

They all knew in their hearts that Huaiyang Hou was the backbone of the Hou Mansion, and now that the backbone was gone, the Hou Mansion would naturally collapse.

So when the two of them ran to the mourning hall, they cried with a handful of snot and tears, crying very sadly.

The mourning hall had been set up a long time ago, and when Song Gusheng's bones were brought back, they were immediately placed in the mourning hall.

Several of them also changed into plain white filial piety clothes and wore them on their bodies, and there were many small white flowers made of paper silk between their buns, but they responded to that sentence, women should be pretty, and they were filial.

When Lu Zhu helped Song Yige in, Song Hengbo was kneeling there crying so much that he was crying, on the contrary, Song Jinxiu was much more reserved.

The tears were left along the cheeks, and the tears of the beauty were the most pitiful.

It's a pity that there are no people to admire here.

Song Yige calmly took the incense from the maid's hand and lit it on the candle flame, and the cigarette curled around it, fascinating people's eyes. She went over and knelt down on the futon, but when she kowtowed, she heard Song Hengbo's heart-rending cry.

"After a while, someone came to mourn my father, the fourth sister is really difficult to get into the elegant hall like this, why don't you go back and wash up and come again?" After Song Yige inserted the incense into the incense burner, he stood beside Song Hengbo and said slowly.

Song Hengbo was stunned, his crying stopped, and he tilted his head in astonishment, a little at a loss.

Song Yige bent down and looked over carefully, only to see that Song Hengbo's face was refreshing, except for being too hard just now, there was a little flutter on his face, and there was nothing else.

She curled the corners of her mouth mockingly: "The fourth sister wants to pretend, she pretends to be some, there is not a single tear on her face, she will only howl, what's the use, it's not as distressing as the second sister." ”

Hearing Song Yige mention her name, Song Jinxiu also stopped crying, turned her head and looked at her with teary eyes: "What did the seventh sister say?" ”

Song Yige said: "My father died, is the second sister the only one to come back?" Where is the second brother-in-law? ”

Hearing Song Yige mention the words of the second brother-in-law, Song Jinxiu's face changed suddenly, when she got married before, that person did love her very much, but as the days went on, all her true nature was exposed.

Those gentleness and decency are all pretended.

That man is a complete hypocrite!

But these words, she could never be in front of Song Hengbo and Song Yi, and those pains and despairs could only be broken and swallowed in her stomach.

Song Jinxiu reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Your second brother-in-law, he ...... He has some things to do, I'm afraid he won't be able to come. ”

"You also know that a few days ago, your second brother-in-law fell off the list, and it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy in his heart, and now he must be studying in the academy, waiting for the next autumn."

Song Yige bowed her head, it was clear, no matter whether what Song Jinxiu said was true or not, it had nothing to do with her, what she wanted was just an explanation to everyone and her grandmother.

Song Yige was reluctant to get to the bottom of everything, but Song Hengbo was willing, especially since that person was still Song Jinxiu.

Waiting for Song Jinxiu to finish speaking, Song Hengbo immediately smiled weirdly: "Yo, such a big thing as the death of my father, as a child, should wear linen and filial piety, is it possible that in the heart of the second sister, my father is still not worthy of an excuse for Wen Shu?" ”

"It's really the water spilled by the married daughter, second sister, you and your second brother-in-law must have read the sage books in the dog's stomach." Song Hengbo sneered, "In my country, Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and you are a child, can't you even do a single word of filial piety?" ”

Song Jinxiu just felt that there was a fire burning in all her internal organs, but she couldn't find the slightest excuse to refute, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Song Hengbo's smug smile.

Song Yige stood between the two and said lightly: "Now that my father's bones are not cold, do you still have the heart to compete here?" ”

Song Hengbo raised her head unconvinced, and just as she was about to argue, she directly crashed into Song Yige's temperatureless eyes, she breathed a little, and in an instant those thoughts went down again, she asked the maid to help her get up, and reached out to help the white flower that was about to fall out: "I'll go back to the yard first and wash my face." ”

"Hmm." Song Yige nodded and asked the maid to help her leave.

As soon as she left, Song Jinxiu looked up her little head pitifully, looking at her tears, which didn't seem to be a show, but like a true expression, and suddenly fell from her eyes: "Seventh sister." ”

Song Yige lowered his head and thought about it, but slowly touched an embroidered handkerchief from his arms and handed it over: "Second sister, you wipe it first." ”

Song Jinxiu seemed to be climbing on some life-saving straw, and desperately dragged Song Yige's hand: "Seventh sister, I know that you are the most soft-hearted, this time you really want to help the second sister, the second sister really has no choice." ”
