"Sister, sister! Sister let me out! In the dark and cramped firewood room, a woman screamed helplessly.

She stood barefoot on the cold, dirty ground, and suddenly there was a frightening and disgusting wet touch on her bare feet, accompanied by a creepy 'squeak'.

"Ahh Sister, sister, there are rats in it, sister, please, please let me out! The woman shouted hoarsely, but no one answered.

As if aware of the woman's timidity and fright, the rat cried more cheerfully, and the 'squeak' and the woman's scream corresponded to it, like a prologue to hell.

Song Zhi opened her eyes suddenly, she removed the silk handkerchief on her eyes, and the sun was shining outside the house, covering the ground like golden sand.

"Miss is awake? I slept a little longer today. "Sitting on a low stool with a needlework basket on her lap, she was doing odd and odd needlework.

"Hmm." Song Zhi glanced at what he was doing month by month, "It's okay for the people below to do these jobs." ”

"Miss has been growing taller, how can I know the people below?" Month by month, I straightened a pair of freshly sewn socks and set them aside.

Qin's mother asked Xiaozhu to bring a chilled white fungus lotus seed soup and told Song Zhi to drink it slowly.

"Well, is Daddy home?" Song Zhi drank a spoonful shallowly, only to feel a coolness slip through his throat, which was extremely comfortable.

Song Ling had already arrived in Beiyangwei yesterday, and he thought he would be home today. Song Jian was one step behind him, and it would be a few months before he arrived.

"I heard that the general has returned to the palace first, but he will come back for dinner. When Miss Fang Cai was taking a nap, Mrs. had already come and said that she would let Miss come to Le Xiangzhai for dinner together. "Month by month.

"Well, what about my sister? Can you come back? Zhang Xinlan invited Song Yan to Taiwei Mansion as a guest, I don't know if she is back now.

"Not yet." Said month by month.

According to what Song Zhi learned, Zhang Xinlan and Xiao Chen are people with a temperament all the way, and neither of them has any opinions. The invitation to Song Yan this time was probably due to her mother's instructions, and the Xu family would not leave Song Yan for dinner, which was too deliberate, and it was estimated that she would have to come back in a while.

"Let's take a shower first." Now that the weather is still hot, Song Zhi always feels sticky after taking a nap, and he has to take a bath to be comfortable.

Song Ling is back, and Song Jian is also fast.

Although Song Jian did not directly disadvantage Song Zhi in his previous life, he and the eighth prince Shen Angxin colluded to frame Song Ling, and when he died, he was also infamous and killed Song Ling, so as to take the entire Zhenxi General's Mansion into his pocket, he was even more hateful than Song Yan.

However, Song Zhi is not worried, because she knows that Song Jian has a 'harmless' little secret, although it will not make him unrecoverable, but it is also a heavy blow to him who is now fledgling.

Ironically, this secret was told by Rui Xi and Song Zhi.

"Miss, it's almost time, don't let Mrs. wait." Mother Qin reminded her.

"Okay." Song Zhi sorted out his thoughts and went to Lexiangzhai.

Song Zhi has become closer and closer to the Lin family these days, although there are also reasons why Song Zhi is interested in management, but the mother-daughter relationship is inseparable, just like a fire that is about to go out, you only need to pluck it a few times with a branch, and the flames will come up.

Lin asked Song Zhi if she had eaten well and slept well in the past few days, and when she saw that her nodding didn't count, he touched her round little face again.

As soon as Song Yan was gone, Song Yao was silent as if she had no tongue. Song Zhi looked at the half-old cyan gown on her body and felt a little pitiful.

"Second sister, when my father came back today, why did you come here in an old dress? Didn't my mother make three new clothes for each of us a few days ago? Song Zhi frowned and asked puzzled.

Lin's heart is all tied to her husband who is about to get home, so it doesn't matter what kind of clothes a concubine is wearing, it was torn by Song Zhi, and she realized that something was wrong.

"I'll change it now." Song Yao said with a wince.

"That's it, you have time to go back and forth with a stick of incense, so let's do it first." The Lin family has always been broad-hearted, and after glancing at Song Yao, he ignored her.

Song Yan came in at this moment, she was in a good mood, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were a little proud. "Yan'er is late, my mother forgives her sins."

"Why is it too late? Your father has not yet returned, and it will be a little better for the feast to begin. Yan'er want to eat some pastries to cushion her stomach? ”

"No, I used a snack at Sister Zhang's to come back." Song Yan smiled: "If I hadn't said that my father was coming back, I'm afraid I would have to keep me for dinner." ”

These words reveal a bit of deliberateness. Lin didn't notice, and only followed her words: "Miss Zhang's family is going to pass through the door in a few days, and you haven't left the cabinet yet, so my aunt and sister-in-law will get along for a while." But the two of you are gentle and gentle, and you will definitely be able to make friends. ”

'How is that possible? Song Zhi was eating pastries with an innocent face, but the image in his mind was that he crossed his hands in front of his chest and sneered. ‘

Song Yan is a very heavy character, and she is very calculating, Song Jian must prepare a copy for Zhang Xinlan whenever he gives Zhang Xinlan. ’

When he got married, he also said that he liked a Zhuangzi under Zhang Xinlan's name very much, and he forcibly asked for it from Zhang Xinlan as his dowry. ’

When Zhang Xinlan was housekeeping, she found that even after Song Yan got married, there was still a large amount of expenses in this house to provide for her, so she cut it off. Song Yan was furious and quarreled with Zhang Xinlan, but in the end, Song Yan still faced Song Yan. ’

"Sister, this hairpin is very beautiful." Song Yan's gaze stopped on a silver-inlaid jadeite old agate long tassel hairpin that Song Zhi was carrying today, as if a cat had smelled a fishy smell. "It's just too mature, but it's not quite commensurate with my sister."

Here we go again. Song Zhi rolled his eyes in his heart, but said casually: "A few days ago, I thought of this hairpin when I had nothing to do, so I drew a pattern and took it outside to ask the craftsman to make it." ”

"My sister is really a good heart, but my sister doesn't have such good intentions." Song Yan touched the hairpin on her head and said gloomily.

"Sister doesn't have to worry about such trivial things, new jewelry will be sent every month, and my sister picks me first and then picks, my sister doesn't have to worry about me, just pick what she likes." Seeing that his daughter's behavior was becoming more and more generous, Lin was relieved.

"The jewelry on the outside is pretty much the same, and I don't see any difference." When Song Yan looked at Song Zhi and spoke, the hairpins on the temples swayed and swayed, and they were very smart.

"That's natural, the eldest brother will bring some jewelry from the West back to my sister from time to time, my sister is used to seeing those, so she naturally can't look down on our vulgar things."

'How did she know that Song Jian had given her jewelry? Song Yan was startled, and Lin's face was a little gloomy. Song Jian brought things back in private, and the Lin family never knew that he had brought things back.

"What mundane? What are they talking about? "Song has not arrived, the voice has come first.

"Daddy!" Song Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly trotted out, she really missed Song Ling, but she didn't mean to stop Song Yan behind her.

Song Ling picked Song Zhi up, and his bearded face rubbed against Song Zhi's face, and Song Zhi's cheeks turned red.

"General, look at the fact that you have turned the child's face red." Lin leaned coquettishly beside Song Ling, her fair and soft hand rested on Song Ling's broad chest, and gently patted it twice.

Song Ling's facial features are similar to Song Ling's, but he has been fighting for many years, his complexion is dark, and he has a heroic aura on his body. The sword eyebrows are like paint, and there are two shallow wrinkles under the eyes, which do not show old but are a little more awe-inspiring.

Song Yan stood and looked at their family of three, looking weak and helpless. Song Yao has always been afraid of Song Ling, unlike Song Yan, she doesn't want to get too close to Song Ling from the bottom of her heart.

Song Zhi broke free from Song Ling's arms and grabbed Song Yan's hand, "Why are the two sisters standing stupidly!" Come here yet! ”

Song Yan's pitiful feeling of 'missing her father very much, but being occupied by her stepmother and sister, and being like an outsider' had just been brewed, and was destroyed by Song Zhi.

"Yan'er is a lot older." Song Ling has only been gone for half a year, and Song Yan has not grown up. It's just that she just went to the Taiwei Mansion today, and she has dressed up carefully, and she looks a little mature.

"Daddy, I'm tired." Song Yan burst into tears and wanted to cry.

"Sister, don't you want to cry!" Song Zhi said crisply, "It's a pleasure for Daddy to come back, sister, don't cry." ”

During the dinner, Song Zhi behaved well-behaved and clever, Song Ling only felt that her daughter had grown up and was sensible, how could she know that this body had changed a soul that had gone through vicissitudes.

"Where's the Ling'er people?" It's been a long time, and Song Ling hasn't seen Song Ling yet.

"I said that I went to Beijing with Shen Shizi, and I didn't know what to do. I thought I was going with Shen Shizi anyway, so I didn't ask too much. Song Ling nodded and didn't say anything more.

Speaking to Song Ling, Lin's voice was like being soaked in honey.

Song Zhi didn't like it in her previous life, but she saw it in this life, her mother is such a character, how rare it is to have someone she likes, why bother her to change it?

"When will he come back, big brother?" Song Zhi took a fresh shrimp and dipped it in the orange dew and put it in his mouth.

"He'll have some more time." Song Jian was thrown into the barracks by Song Ling when he was very young, and he came up step by step from a small soldier, and now he is a deputy general, and no one in the army dares to say that he is thanks to his father.

When Zheng died, Song Jian was already sensible. So his attitude towards the Lin family has always been very indifferent, and he doesn't like Song Ling and Song Zhi.

When boys were young, they always liked to run behind boys who were older than themselves, and Song Ling was no exception, but Song Jian never took care of him.

For a while, Song Ling ran up the mountain with Song Jian, stumbled and fell into the trap, Song Jian just stood next to the trap and looked indifferently for a while, and then left. When he returned home, he didn't mention Song Ling's whereabouts to anyone.

Fortunately, there was a little beggar at that time, who heard Song Ling's cry for help when he was playing blindly in the mountains, so he came to the Lin Mansion to inform the Lin family, which saved Song Ling. When Song Ling was rescued, she was covered in abrasions and mosquito bites.

I thought that the trap was left by Orion, but the little beggar accepted the reward and secretly came to see Song Ling, telling him that he saw Song Jian digging a trap in that place alone a few days ago.

Song Ling hid this matter and didn't tell the Lin family, but quietly told Song Zhi to let her stay away.

However, the matter of not saving him in the face of death was enough to make the Lin family wary of Song Jian's stepson. She naturally told Song Ling about this, Song Ling thought about it for a long time, and only brought Song Jian into the army and left him by his side to teach well, Song Jian was only eight years old at that time.

Song Zhi didn't know what kind of experience a child who grew up in the barracks would have, she only knew that when Song Jian came back, he had already restrained a lot.

However, it was hidden, not changed.
