The sound of rain outside finally started, and all the bits and pieces hit the fan.

She was lying on the side of the bed, wrapped in the futon, unable to sleep all night, her hands were tightly gripping the futon, and when she closed her eyes, her mind would appear in the past, all kinds of things that she and Xiao Yige were together.

And even if she burned all those things, all those contents were still imprinted in her mind, lingering.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Song Yige fell asleep in a daze, and then had a dream.

In the dream, she is still Lin Yingluo, her husband is still there, Xiao Yige is still her close friend, her most valued confidant, she will hold her arm, sit beside her obediently and softly, and call her name.

can wake up, the room is empty, and the deceased is far away.

Song Yige covered his groggy head with his hands and asked the people around him softly, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost noon." Lu Zhu helped the person up and replied, "The old lady has already sent someone to pass the word, saying that you are not feeling well, girl, so you don't have to go over every day to say goodbye, and it is a serious matter to cultivate a good life." ”

"However, the old lady also said, if you wake up, girl, take an hour to go over, and the old lady may have something to tell you."

Song Yige lowered his head and rinsed his mouth, and then said, "I know, you go and talk back to your grandmother, and I'll go over after lunch." ”

Lu Zhu answered, and when he was about to go over to pass a word, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Song Yige, Lu Zhu turned back puzzled, and said, "Girl, do you still have something to order?" ”

Song Yige lowered her head and fiddled with the sleeves of her wrists, and after pulling for a while, Luzhu felt that she was going to pull out the threads of the sleeves, and then said, "Who is in charge of going out to buy in the house?" ”

"The girl asks what is this?" Green beads blinked and helped the person up.

Song Yige said: "I want to buy some paper money, I don't feel at ease when I hand over the green beads to others, you go out of the house to help me buy some back, you don't need too much, just one mind." ”

When she spoke, her head was buried a little low, and the green beads could not tell what kind of emotion was on her face, and she wanted to ask the girl what she was doing with the paper money, but she did not dare to speak, so she could only send someone to pass the word, and then comb her hair in a bun for her, and then carry some broken silver, and go out through the back door of the house.

After eating, Song Yige pinched the hour, and almost waited for Mrs. Song to wake up, and then went over to say goodbye surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law.

The Rongfu Hall is also quiet, and when Song Yige went, Mrs. Song was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall.

I don't know if it's because of her age, in the early days, Mrs. Song was also a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go, but with the change of years, she began to live in the inner house like all the women in Jinling City, and built a small Buddha hall in the courtyard.

Song Yige threw all the maids back, and knelt on another futon behind Old Madam Song.

In front of her, the cigarette smoke was glistening and the Buddha statue was kind, which was the peace and tranquility she had never experienced.

Waiting for a scripture to be recited silently, Mrs. Song put down the rosary and the wooden fish, and when she turned around, she saw her well-behaved granddaughter, who was also kneeling on the futon in a similar manner, and only felt very emotional for a while.

Old Madam Song walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Get up, it's too cold here, let's go outside and talk." ”

Song Yige opened his eyes and looked up at Mrs. Song, and with a very quick movement, he got up from the futon and stretched out his hand to support the person: "Grandmother, do you have anything to do with Ge'er?" ”

"Come, let's go out."

In the room, the grandparents and grandchildren leaned on the Luohan bed together, holding the futon and putting it on the ground, and the brazier was sizzling underneath, and the whole room seemed extremely quiet and quiet.

Old Madam Song leaned on the big pillow, took a booklet handed by the grandmother who served her, flipped through a few pages at random, and handed it to Song Yige: "Look." ”

Song Yige took it suspiciously, rolled a few cursory glances, and then found that there were many men in Jinling who had never married a wife, and they had different identities and good looks and qualities, but they all had one characteristic, that is, their background was not too high.

She secretly pondered that even if the Song Mansion fell, as a concubine, it would be impossible for her to marry a concubine who would not be famous, and some of them were not in Jinling now. If it's not for her, it can only be for the other two. Song Yige closed the booklet with a smile and decided to preemptively: "Grandmother, is this trying to tell the second sister and the fourth sister about a family matter?" ”

Mrs. Song looked at her lovingly: "Originally, because of my selfishness, thinking that there were few people in the Song Mansion, I wanted to keep the second sister for a few more years, but in the spring of this year, the second sister will be almost eighteen, whether I want to or not, I can't keep the second sister anymore, this book is all young talents from various provinces, although the status is not high, but in the end the second sister is just a concubine, even if our family has a meritorious title, Tian shamelessly came to the door to ask for one for her, and it is not necessarily that people look down on our second sister, it is better to start at the beginning, The requirements were lowered. ”

"I've sent people to inquire about these people, although their status is not very good now, but they have good conduct and are self-motivated, and there are several of them who are Jinshi, I think it's not a humiliation for the second sister."

Song Yige said: "Did grandmother ask the second sister?" What does Aunt Wan say? ”

"It's not that you don't know, Aunt Wan is weak, where can she manage these things, I have also seen the people she is looking for, although the identity looks better than these, but I secretly sent someone to check, they are all relying on the shadow of their fathers, fighting cocks and idle sons, they are not very old, but the concubines in the house and the outer room raised outside, I don't know how many there are, you say, if your second sister marries over, isn't she going to be angry to death?" As she spoke, Old Madam Song sighed, "Although these identities are not very good-looking, the main thing is that they have good character, and as for the future, we will carry them together, what's wrong." ”

Although Mrs. Song said such a truth, Song Yige felt that Song Jinxiu might not appreciate it, after all, people have a high heart, and how to look down on these concubines who have no merit.

However, he couldn't bear to brush the old man's intentions, Song Yige still picked it up with the booklet and picked it up attentively, and after looking at it for a long time, Song Yige felt that his eyes were going to look at the flowers, so he found one out of the hundred people and pointed it out to Mrs. Song: "Grandmother, what do you think of this person?" ”

"Although the family is poor, but it is a willing to endure hardships, there are no elders to serve, and there is no sister-in-law or the like, the population in the house is simple, and there are no warblers and swallows around them, and they are also from Jinshi, but no one in Jinling is dotted, so he ended up in such an embarrassing situation, if we help him go through the network, the career is also smooth, although he will not get any wealth in the future, but it will not be bad, what does grandmother think?"

When Mrs. Song saw it, she was immediately happy: "It seems that this time it is our ancestors and grandchildren who have a good heart and want to go together." ”

Song Yige heard her say this, so he closed the booklet: "The second sister's marriage has been settled, but the fourth sister, has grandmother ever considered it?" ”

Speaking of Song Hengbo, the smile on Mrs. Song's face disappeared a little, she took Song Yige's hand and sighed helplessly: "The fourth sister is too arrogant, and now she is shaving her head and picking her head to surround that child, no matter what kind of person I find for her, she can't look down on her, so why should I do this too much, annoying people." ”

Song Yige said: "But it's not a way for the fourth sister to pester her cousin like this." ”

Old Madam Song thought for a long time, and then said, "Otherwise, what do you think of giving the fourth sister to Zibian as a concubine?" Or a flat wife? ”

Listening to the more Mrs. Song said, the more outrageous it became, Song Yige hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Song's words: "Grandmother, why don't you just let your cousin and the fourth sister get married, this is just the right time to fulfill the wish of the fourth sister." ”

"How can Zibian's child look down on the fourth sister, don't say that letting Zibian marry her is to let Zibian take her as a concubine, I have to lick my face and go to Zibian's talk."

Song Yige also knew that Mrs. Song had decided to do something, and it was difficult for others to persuade her, so she immediately changed her words, and praised her words, after hearing it, Mrs. Song showed a little smile on her face, she held Song Yige's hand and said: "The only thing I am worried about now is Brother Mo'er's marriage, you say that he looks so weak, we marry someone for him, isn't it a disaster for other girls?" But if you don't marry, this Huaiyang Hou will be passed on to your generation, and it should be broken. ”

Song Yige thought about it for a while, and then asked, "What does grandmother think of my sixth cousin?" Although the sixth sister is from a lower background, the fourth uncle is also hard-working, and the Ling Mansion will soon be separated, although the fourth uncle is from his maternal grandfather, but the fourth uncle is now famous, and the sixth cousin is also a serious girl, and our family also knows the roots, grandmother thinks? ”

"Sunny girl?" Old Madam Song thought for a while, "She looks good and has a good temperament, but this is ...... her background."

Song Yige immediately smiled and said: "Grandmother, this year's fifth cousin will participate in the autumn festival, I think next year's spring, my cousin will definitely be able to get a jinshi, plus the fourth uncle will do a little trick from it, presumably the career will be smooth, so it can be regarded as filling the shortcomings of the cousin's identity, and the most difficult thing is that I look at the sixth cousin to my brother, there is some meaning, and my brother will not hate the sixth sister. ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she really thought about it very seriously, but she was silent for a long time before she said: "Your brother's marriage, I really can't be the master alone, wait until I go and ask your father to make a decision, it must be above the court, where are we women who know." ”

Song Yige bowed his head obediently: "Yes." ”

"I'll tell you here today, I'll talk to me all afternoon, and Ge'er must be tired, so how about staying with my grandmother and having dinner with my grandmother?" Old Madam Song turned around and pinched her little white and red face.

Song Yige smiled and bent his eyes: "Naturally, it's excellent, Ge'er may not have eaten with her grandmother for a long time." ”
