Chapter 220: Sleepless Nights
When Song Xingchen and Zhou Jin changed their clothes and came to the restaurant to prepare for dinner, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw that Song Yang was already sitting at the table.
Song Yang didn't know about Zhou Jin's coming to the house, so he hurriedly got up to salute, "Weichen see the princess." ”
"Little brother doesn't have to be polite, just be the same as before." Zhou Jin raised a decent smile, and those who are familiar with it will find it a little sweeter than usual.
Song Lu was annoyed at this time, she knew that Zhou Jin came to the house, but Song Yang's injury made her forget to talk about it.
Now that Zhou Jin is also eating in the restaurant, he can only let his subordinates put up a screen, so as not to make people say that the Song family does not know the etiquette, and it will also damage Zhou Jin's reputation.
Zhou Jin opened her mouth and didn't say anything to stop her, as a princess, she had to do a lot of things according to the rules.
Even if she is a guest at the Song family, she has never oppressed people as a princess, but this is the capital, and it must not be as casual as in another courtyard or the Song family's hometown.
After everyone sat down, it was a little embarrassing because of the little episode just now.
"The eldest brother's hand is injured, so don't eat spicy things, lest you flush the medicine." Song Xingchen said to Song Yang on the other side of the screen.
"Okay." Song Yang replied simply in one word.
"Xingchen is right, my mother almost forgot." Song Lu hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Boss, you look at Dianyang'er, he is the most greedy, but you can't let him eat it." ”
"You know, with so many delicacies, it's nothing to eat one or two dishes less." Song Sanshan replied over there.
Song Lushi picked up the chopsticks, laid two dishes for Zhou Jin, and said with a smile: "Princess, try it, these two dishes are Xingchen's favorite food, it is said that the sour and spicy taste is the most refreshing, I am old, but I can't adapt to it." ”
"Aunt is polite, it's good for me to come by myself, and it's not in the palace, I also want to relax, everyone is free to do it." Zhou Jin smiled and tasted it, and the essence of foodies was immediately revealed, and he gave Song Xingchen a thumbs up and said: "It's still better for you to make it here, Ruiwangfu is afraid that the little sister-in-law is pregnant, and the sour and spicy taste is very light, without this, it makes people want to stop." ”
"If you like it, eat more." Song Xingchen blurted out, couldn't help but think of a certain advertising word, and coughed hurriedly to prevent himself from remembering his previous life, "Mother wants to try this spicy fried cabbage, this is the first time the princess has cooked it herself, and our family has this mouthful." ”
"Really? Then I'm going to try it. Song Lushi took a bite, and his spicy face turned red, but he still praised: "Yes, it's good to be able to cook like this for the first time." ”
Song Xingchen tasted it, then got up and brought the plate over, and said to Song Lu's family: "Mother, don't eat it, this is too spicy, you should have a stomachache later." ”
"Is it spicy?" Zhou Jin hurriedly tried it, she coughed spicy, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly handed a glass of water to rinse her mouth, which was better.
"I'm not familiar with the kitchen either, so I forgot to tell you that some chili peppers are particularly spicy, just put a little bit of it. But other than spicy, it tastes good, at least I like it. Song Xingchen took another bite, and she enjoyed it without being spicy or happy.
Here Zhou Jin humbly wrote it down, but he heard Song Sanshan behind the screen shouting: "Stinky boy, your mother and your sister both said that you should not eat spicy food, and you still eat several bites of spicy fried cabbage in a row, don't you want to get along with Lao Tzu?" ”
Song Sanshan forgot that Zhou Jin was still present for a while, and directly slashed foul.
However, Song Sanshan's words made Zhou Jin's face even redder, and he couldn't help but wonder if Song Yang knew that she did it, so he ate two more bites.
It turned out that Song Yang liked spicy food so much, and Zhou Jin silently wrote it down in his heart.
Song Xingchen glanced at Zhou Jin jokingly, and teased silently: Look, my eldest brother seems to be interesting to you.
Zhou Jin hurriedly lowered her head and ate vigorously, if it weren't for Song Lu's constant food for her, it is estimated that she would be full with a bowl of rice, and she would not need to eat anything else at all.
There are rules in the palace, Zhou Jin must go back before the palace gate is locked, naturally he took a lot of vinegar, and pestered Song Xingchen to write her a few recipes to ensure that it will not spread outside the palace, so as not to rob the Song family's business.
In fact, Song Xingchen really wanted to say that Zhou Jin was too worried, even if he had a recipe, he had to buy vinegar, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make such a dish at all?
After dinner, when the family went back to rest, Song Xingchen came to the study to find Song Yang and asked him how he felt about Zhou Jin.
The brother and sister went around in circles for a long time, Song Yang kept diverging the topic, and Song Xingchen simply asked directly: "Big brother, do you like the princess or not, give me a happy word." ”
"You girl, can you say such things casually? If the princess's reputation is damaged, our family's head is not enough to cut off. Song Yang immediately straightened his face.
"No outsiders will hear it, big brother, you only need to answer me, I think the princess is pleased with you, I am just curious about when the two of you have come into contact, and you have captured the princess's heart." Song Xingchen's eyes were full of gossip, and he looked at Song Yang for a solution.
Song Yang's white face was slightly red, but he didn't answer.
"Big brother, if you don't say it, I'll go and talk to my father, maybe my father and mother will go to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow and ask King Rui's Mansion to help go to the palace to talk about matchmaking." Song Xingchen stood up with a posture of quickly holding me back.
Song Yang was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly: "Xingchen, don't make trouble, this matter is not as simple as you say." ”
"If you like it, go for it, what's so hard about that? You are the eldest son of the Song family, and you can't lose to the second brother in this regard. Song Xingchen immediately sat back, looked at Song Yang with his hands on his cheeks, and waited for him to reply.
"Me and the princess, impossible." Song Yang shook his head, he had always been moody, revealing a little irritability.
"Why? You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's impossible? Song Xingchen had to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Song Yang stood up, pushed open the window and looked at the bright moon outside the window, and only spoke for a long time: "To me, the princess is the bright moon in the sky, which can only be viewed from a distance. ”
"But is the princess willing to marry? Big brother, don't you know the fate of the royal princess? Although Ah Jin will not be sent to kiss, the man she will marry in the future must be designated today, do you want to see the princess marry blindly and dumbly? And the princess has a lively temperament, do you think it would be really good for her to let her suppress her nature for the rest of her life? "It's not the first time that Song Xingchen has been involved in his brother's emotions, and he is very happy to make up a pair of lovers.
"Or is it that you are too unconfident, big brother, and think that you are not worthy of the princess, so you would rather give it up and watch her have you in her heart, but go to spend her life with another man? And you, obviously take the initiative to love the public, but let her become the eternal white moonlight in your heart, can you only look up and remember? ”
"Big brother, I always thought that the second brother was more reckless than you, but you are all brave people, but today I found out that you are so cowardly! When you marry the princess now, and when your father and mother make a marriage contract for you, it's too late for you to protect this relationship, big brother. ”
Song Yang listened to Song Xingchen without saying a word, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Seeing Song Yang like this, Song Xingchen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, but more distressed.
This is the sorrow of being the eldest son, who has to consider the overall situation in everything, and has never taken himself so seriously.
"Our Song family's status now is enough, and we don't need the eldest brother to sacrifice himself in exchange for a more brilliant tomorrow. As for what outsiders think, it doesn't matter, what we want is the happiness of your eldest brother, otherwise even if you are a great minister one day, it is not the scenery we are most willing to see. After Song Xingchen finished speaking, he tugged at Song Yang's sleeve and looked up at him as he did when he was a child, "As the eldest son, the most important thing to do is to set an example, eldest brother, what kind of life you want the children and grandchildren of the Song family to live, what kind of example you should be, don't put the cart before the horse." ”
After saying this, he glanced at Song Yang deeply, Song Xingchen turned around and left, and said to Song Yang before stepping out of the study: "Big brother, no matter how you choose in the end, please remember that your family is on your side." I'll treat it as if I'm not here tonight, and I won't mess with you, big brother. ”
Song Yang still didn't speak, looking at Song Xingchen's back with a bit of anger, he smiled bitterly for a long time.
There are some things that he doesn't understand, but because he understands them, he has to cherish them even more, and he will restrain himself even more.
"The white moonlight of the heart?" Stroking his heart with his right hand, Song Yang looked at Leng Yue and muttered.
This night, the Song family was destined not to sleep peacefully.
As soon as Song Xingchen returned to the courtyard, he heard the sound of a fight and hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.
"Big sister!" Song Xingchen snorted, looked at Song Yueya, who was held hostage by Yin Ye, and shouted loudly: "Stop, don't hurt my eldest sister." ”
The dark guard obeyed the order and retreated, but still surrounded Yin Ye in the middle.
"What do you want to do? Let go of my eldest sister and say everything, otherwise my eldest sister will lose a single hair, I will not only ask for your life, but also make your sister pay ten times and a hundred times the price, even if you Yin Jiabao I will not let go! Song Xingchen's cold gaze shot towards Yin Ye.
"I can't put it." Yin Ye shook his head, one hand still clamped Song Yueya's slender neck, and said apologetically: "I want to see a miracle doctor, as long as he gives me medicine that can save my father, after saving my father, Yin Ye will come to bear the guilt of Jing now, and he will use this life to make amends, and there is no other word." ”
"Phew! You kidnapped my eldest sister and wanted to ask for medicine, is it really easy for our Song family to bully? If you touch a hair of my eldest sister, I will have someone slaughter you now, and then send someone to send a poison to your father in your name, so that your father will not forgive you for being a ghost! Song Xingchen became angry, and the more he talked, the more ruthless he became.
A violent aura rose in Yin Ye's eyes, and it could be seen that Song Xingchen's words had touched his bottom line.
Although Song Yueya was taken hostage, she was not in personal danger, so she said to Song Xingchen: "Let people go and invite your second brother-in-law to come over, don't make noise to your father." ”
"Big sister?" Song Xingchen looked at Song Yueya worriedly, thinking that she was frightened.
"Obedient, this matter will be settled here, he is just a piece of filial piety, and he has no intention of hurting me." Song Yueya shook her head and said.
Because Shen Yi had a plan early in the morning and didn't want to be known by her family, Song Yueya could only persuade Song Xingchen in this way, otherwise her actions today would be in vain.
Although Song Xingchen didn't understand why Song Yueya did this, he could see Song Yueya smiling at him and blinking his eyes, so he could only do what Song Yueya wanted.
asked people to invite Shen Yi, Song Xingchen immediately ordered the secret guard to put it away, and he went outside to explain, so as not to cause panic due to the sound of fighting here.
In fact, Song Xingchen was really worried, if she hadn't taken Lingquan water for a long time, her hearing would be much better than ordinary people, and she wouldn't have heard the sound of fighting here at all.
After Shen Yi came, without saying a word, he threw the pill he was carrying to Yin Ye, and said coldly: "I only have one of this pill, if you lose it, don't ask for it again." This pill can prolong life, detoxify all kinds of poisons and regulate internal injuries, but it is not a panacea. Whether I can make another one in three years depends only on God's will. ”
"You mean, my father took this pill and only survived for three years at most?" Yin Ye asked a little unwillingly.
"If someone else can save your father, you can't feed him." Shen Yi said indifferently, "Let go of the eldest sister, I guarantee that these people will not embarrass you, as for your sister, she will go back on her own in a month, but we are not responsible for her personal safety." ”
