043 Let others do it
When the guests came to the door to offer their condolences, Song Yimo happened to bring Ling Qing with him.
Seeing the two of them coming, Song Yige felt a little relieved, saving her from asking someone to run over again. It's just that Ling Qing is a little more haggard than she looked a few days ago, she was already born white, maybe because she stayed up late yesterday, but now her face is even more thin as paper, and she doesn't have half a complexion.
Song Yige took Ling Qing's hand: "Sister-in-law has never rested. β
Ling Qing hummed: "It's because my body is too pampered." β
"It's going to be hard for my sister-in-law these days, after all, now you are the mistress of the Hou Mansion. There are a lot of things that you need to do. Song Yige reminded in a low voice.
Although Ling Qing is said to be the concubine of the fourth room, it can be traced back to the fourth room that the lord is just a concubine, the Ling family has a big business, and there are several concubines in charge, how can this matter of being in charge of general affairs fall on the head of the fourth room.
Although Ling Qing is a concubine, she has never been in contact with general affairs.
Ling Qing nodded to show that she understood.
"You'll stay with me for a while." Song Yige tilted his head and smiled at Ling Qing.
Ling Qing responded: "Okay." β
After the two finished speaking, as soon as they looked up, they saw Song Jinxiu walking in front of the two with a smile, and Ying Ying bowed: "Jinxiu has seen my sister-in-law." β
Ling Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and helped the person up: "It was originally the second sister." β
Song Jinxiu smiled gently: "I should have come to see my sister-in-law before, but because there was something in the house that was delayed a little, so that I only saw my sister-in-law now, and if I want to come to my sister-in-law's generosity, I should not blame Jinxiu." β
"Naturally, it's my own family, what do I do with so much etiquette." The corners of Ling Qing's mouth were raised, but only she knew how troublesome it was for her to maintain such a fake smile, and she secretly tugged at Song Yige's sleeve, as if she was asking for help.
Song Yige secretly held Ling Qing's hand and said, "Second sister, now is not the time to catch up on the past, if you have anything to say, wait for the future, the most important thing now is my father's funeral." β
Song Jinxiu was lost face by Song Yige, her face was not very good, but the words had already come to this point, if she was arguing, she was not sensible, Song Jinxiu had always been a clear and proportionate, she smiled slightly, and returned to her original position, not fighting or grabbing, as calm as a chrysanthemum.
"You...... Second sister she ......" Ling Qing looked at her like that, but she couldn't bear it, and was about to open her mouth when Song Yige pinched her lightly, Ling Qing was also transparent, even if she kept her mouth shut, she knelt quietly on the futon.
In fact, compared with Song Jinxiu and Song Hengbo, she would rather be in contact with Song Jinxiu, even though she has a bit of viciousness, but most of the time, she is a polite lady, not like Song Hengbo, moody, arrogant and willful, in other words, difficult to serve.
Waiting for several of them to kneel on the futon, the little maid outside let in the guests who came to mourn.
The first to arrive was Ling Chu.
After he put on the incense, he first said a few words to Song Yimo, and then looked at Ling Qing who was kneeling beside him, and when he saw her pale face, he twisted his eyebrows a little distressedly: "You have reduced a little." Without waiting for her to reply, she turned her head to look at Song Yige again, "My sister is not very sensible, and I have to take care of my cousin more." β
"Cousin Shi Yan is polite, they are all one family, so why bother talking about two families." Song Yige bowed his head, and his face was as usual.
Relatives and friends who came to mourn outside were coming in a steady stream, and Ling Chu didn't stay long, so he just left after a few simple words.
Looking at the figure of Ling Chu leaving, Song Jinxiu asked again for the first time: "This is the sister-in-law's brother, is this Xie Yuan this time?" β
Song Yige looked sideways, and his eyes couldn't say how friendly he was: "Yes, but what is the second sister asking for?" β
Song Jinxiu said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect my sister-in-law's brother to be born so well, I'm just a little curious." β
"Look at what the second sister said, it's not like I haven't seen it before." Song Yige turned his head and looked out the door.
waited until the evening, when there were fewer people who came to mourn, Song Yige had a chance to move his kneeling stiff body, and he didn't need to look at her to know that his knees must be bruised.
She stretched out her hand and quietly covered her knees, and looked at Song Yimo, who was still kneeling: "Big brother, your body is weak, and your sister-in-law hasn't rested well today, why don't you go back to eat and rest with your sister-in-law first, just have me here." β
When Song Yimo heard this, he shook his head: "I am the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and it is my business to guard the spirit, how can there be any reason to let my sister do it for me, you go back with your sister-in-law first, and the second sister will also go back with them." β
Song Jinxiu couldn't kneel for a long time, although she was a concubine, but she was also a thousand pets who grew up, how could she ever kneel down like this, thinking that she suddenly envied Song Hengbo, although she was also a concubine, but Song Hengbo's treatment in the house was no different from Song Yige's concubine.
Why can she go to her grandmother's side to serve the sick, and she can only kneel here and kowtow to blow the cold wind.
So as soon as she heard Song Yimo speak, Song Jinxiu stood up directly without thinking about it, and when she saw that Song Yige and Ling Qing didn't move, her pretty face turned red, and now she can't walk, and she can't continue to kneel, so she can only pull on both sides of her clothes and stand in place in embarrassment.
Naturally, several of them also saw it.
Song Yimo has never had a good impression of these two sisters, so naturally he didn't want to deal with them, but Ling Qing put his hands on his knees and stood up slowly: "In this case, the concubine will go back with the second sister to rest first, and there are more Lao Fujun and the seventh sister here." β
Song Yige saw that Ling Qing had relieved her urgent need, and even smiled and bowed: "Sister-in-law and second sister go slowly." β
"Ge'er, aren't you going back?" Song Yimo asked.
"No, I'll accompany my brother." Song Yige said.
Song Yimo didn't force her, although he didn't interfere much in the affairs of the house, he still knew something about it, such as what happened between Song Jinxiu and Song Hengbo and Song Yige.
After waiting for the two to leave together, Fu Yanshan walked in from outside.
He also followed Song Yimo to change into filial piety clothes, and the coarse linen material was worn on his body, but it unexpectedly made his body cold and bright, like the moon in the sky.
Song Yimo frowned suspiciously: "Why did Brother Fu dress like this?" β
Fu Yanshan walked over and said expressionlessly: "Before Hou Ye left, I agreed to Hou Ye's marriage with Yige, and now I am naturally here as the son-in-law of the Song family." β
Song Yige looked at Fu Yanshan in surprise, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from his face, after all, when this person left, he still looked like he ignored her, why did he go out for a walk and change his mind?
And Mrs. Song said pretty much it, she was just one foot away, how could she just ......
Xu is Song Yige's resistance was too obvious, Song Yimo clenched his hand into a fist, and coughed a few times against the corner of his lips: "Now that my father has just passed away, according to the rules, I will not talk about marriage in three years, and the marriage between you and your sister will be discussed later." β
Regarding Song Yimo's remarks, Fu Yanshan naturally would not refute it, he gave up his hand, and said: "Brother Song's body has not been very good since he was a child, if the vigil is very bad for your body, the Hou Mansion will have to rely on you to support it in the future, Brother Song is still good at putting his body first." β
"Brother Duolaofu cares, now that my father has died, I was born as a son of man, and I should have kept a vigil for him." Song Yimo replied.
Fu Yanshan said: "Brother Song has a fist heart, presumably Hou Yequan knows, and he must be very pleased, but in everything, Brother Song still don't be strong, and the vigil will be done by Zifang." β
Song Yimo's eyes wandered away from him and Song Yige in disbelief for a while, and then said, "Brother Fu wants to take him to the vigil, I'm afraid this is unreasonable?" β
Fu Yanshan didn't think so, he gave up his hand, and said: "Now Zibian is also Yige's fiancΓ©, isn't it a matter of course for me to keep vigil for my future father-in-law here?" β
After finishing speaking, Fu Yanshan glanced at Song Yige with a deep meaning.
Song Yige immediately understood, and continued: "Brother, what my cousin said is very reasonable, you are not in good health, and now it is your sister-in-law's wedding, you should go back to rest with your sister-in-law as soon as possible, I will stay here with my cousin." β
To tell the truth, Song Yimo was indeed a little relieved about Ling Qing, and when he heard Song Yige speak, he was a little hesitant.
Seeing that Song Yimo was a little moved, Song Yige hurriedly continued to persuade while the iron was hot, and waited for her to finish a long list before he raised his eyebrows and asked the subordinates on the side to help him up, although he did not kneel directly on the cold and hard ground, but in the end, it was most of the day, his body was not good, and when he waited to get up, not only his knees were painful, but even his legs and feet were numb and seemed to have no feeling.
Song Yige was afraid that the little girl would not be able to support Song Yimo, so she called a guard to come in and carried Song Yimo back to Qingfeng Courtyard, but she was still not at ease, so she sent someone to find a doctor to come over and stay in Qingfeng Courtyard.
Fu Yanshan watched her busy dealing with Song Yimo's affairs, and suddenly her heart was not happy, and she thought sourly in her heart, she really regarded Song Yimo as her own brother-in-law.
Waiting for her to stop, Fu Yanshan spoke: "I found out about that matter, do you want to hear it?" β
After kneeling for a day, Song Yige, whose brain was already a little confused, tilted his head slightly and looked at him ignorantly: "What's the matter?" β
Fu Yanshan's eyebrows were a little cold, and he said a name: "Song Jinxiu." β
Hearing him mention this, Song Yige nodded suddenly in understanding: "Second sister...... How's your check? My second brother-in-law, is he really reading books now? β
Fu Yanshan's eyebrows tended to rise a little, he leaned down to take the paper money and burned a few sheets, and the firelight reflected his jade-like and picturesque face: "Do you believe it?" β
To be honest, I don't really believe it.
However, in front of outsiders, Song Yige is still quite willing to give Song Jinxiu face: "What my second sister said, I am naturally willing to believe it." β
"Unfortunately, it's not." Fu Yanshan shook his head regretfully, "When I sent someone to find him, he was in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, chatting with a girl about Fengyue and talking about poetry and songs. β
Song Yige naturally knew what kind of place the Red Sleeve Pavilion was.
The so-called beauty township, the hero's mound, refers to the flower street willow lane, Qinlou Chu Pavilion.
It's just that she never expected that her grandmother wanted to find an honest and reliable husband for Song Jinxiu, who knew that it would still be ...... Looked away.
Of course, there is no lack of her responsibility.
After Song Yige pulled the paper money and burned a few sheets, he said coldly: "Then are you looking for him?" β
Fu Yanshan shook his head: "Not yet." β
Song Yige said lightly: "Although I and the second sister are not compatible now, but the second sister is also a girl from my Song family, how can others practice like this, does my cousin mind doing my cousin another favor?" β
The brazier in front of him was crackling.
Her voice came into her ears from the side, and it was another crisp and pleasant one.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at her supple side face: "Naturally." β
