Chapter 32: The Contest Between Brothers
What Song Li wants is to rule the world, what he wants is to be in a high position, what he wants is to be above 10,000 people under one person, and aspiring people are slowly transformed in the process of continuous cultivation of the mind, self-cultivation and forbearance.
Since he can remember, Song Li has understood that there is no so-called fairness in this world, there is only power in this world, and only those who are at the helm are qualified to speak.
Before there is no qualification, everything is preparation, so Song Li has been preparing, whether it is in the Song Mansion or in Yuelu Academy, when he has not become a lion, he will examine and be a dog.
Su Wenran looked directly at Song Li, saw the firelight from the depths of his pupils, with the potential of a prairie fire, and laughed softly, "Then please let me wait and see." ”
Because of the matter of being served by the family law, Song Li took a leave of absence from the academy.
During the days of vacation, the Zheng family was not idle, and he was very attentive to the Song County Order, even if the Song County Order went to spend the night in his aunt's room, the Zheng family did not show anyone's face.
Every time I wait for Song County to come back, I will mention Song Xiao, "Master, our Xiao'er is in the academy today, Mr. praised Xiao'er's efforts, saying that next year's autumn festival will definitely be in the meeting, if it is won, there will be another person in our house." ”
When Song County Ling heard this, he was in a good mood, drank a glass of peach blossom brew, and touched his beard, "Yes, Xiao'er is a climate." ”
"Not really." Zheng is full of confidence, "Otherwise, let's let Xiao'er and Liuli come over for dinner together, I heard Liuli say that Xiao'er is concentrating on hard work these days and sleeping late at night, so it is naturally distressing to be a mother." ”
"Yes, let Xiao'er and Xiao'er's daughter-in-law come over together."
The mother-in-law who was waiting was a shrewd person, and when she heard this sentence, she went out, no, Song Xiao and Liuli walked back and forth, Song Xiao had a cyan color under his eyes, looked at Song County's order and Zheng's salute, and shouted in a sullen voice, "Daddy." ”
"Look at our Xiao'er, study hard, don't get tired for next year's autumn, Liuli, you are your wife, take care of Xiao'er." Zheng pulled Song Xiao to sit on the side, and Liuli nodded.
Song Xianling looked at Song Xiao's appearance and was even more satisfied, "Yes, this is what a scholar looks like, he studied so hard for his father back then, and in the future, Xiao'er will be lifted, and it will also be for us to shine on the lintel." ”
Song Xiao nodded, Zheng's face was rare and gentle, so he sighed slightly, "Hey, the glorious lintel can't be said, Xiao'er has been lifted, and if he can get the favor of the saint when he goes to the palace, then he really has a way out, Xiao'er is not as good as the Song family's son in Jinling City, born with a golden key, and is born with a rich life, although Xiao'er is skilled with them, but, after all, he is not a son-in-law, so he naturally has to work harder than ordinary people." ”
When Song County Ling heard this, he looked at the Zheng family, and then at Song Xiao with a blue face, and said in a dull voice, "The problem of the sister-in-law is not allowed to be talked about anymore." ”
Zheng was choked in his heart by these words, and Song Xiao got up, "Father, Xiao'er naturally knows that his identity is not as good as the third brother, but I have never been worse than the third brother, if my father comes to see Xiao'er because the third brother is the son of the Song family, Xiao'er is absolutely unacceptable." His hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.
"Xiao'er has always wanted to do the tea business, Xiao'er knows that my father wants me to gain fame, and has been studying hard, not to mention the head cantilever cone thorn stock, at least in the matter of studying, the third brother is the son-in-law of the family, and his father has great expectations, Xiao'er is naturally incomparable."
"Xiao'er......" When Zheng heard this, his eyes flashed with tears, and he got up and hugged Song Xiao, "It's because my mother is incapable and has wronged you." ”
A good dinner turned into a farce of complaining, Song Xiaotong had red eyes, the corners of his mouth were forced to endure grievances, Zheng was crying with a silk handkerchief on the side, Liuli sighed, Song County ordered food and tasteless.
This dynasty has always attached importance to the son-in-law, the status of the concubine is not as good as the son-in-law, the Song County Order does not attach importance to the son-in-law Song Li, in fact, it has also attracted a lot of criticism, in the face of the big right and wrong, the Song County Order is still more unified.
"Alright, let's see what it looks like!" Song Xian Ling put the one in his hand on the table, and a lot of wine came out, Zheng swallowed a whimper, Song Xiao didn't say a word, and Liuli lowered his sense of existence as much as possible.
After a long time, Song County Ling opened his mouth sullenly, "Call the two of them over." ”
The errand boy ran to Song Li's yard with his legs, Ah Bao's eyes rolled, and he entered the study, the stove in the study was burning, Song Li was reading, Su Wenran took the shortbread and ate it without a bite.
Hearing Song County's order, Su Wenran's willow eyebrows tufted slightly, "Let's just say that I knelt for an hour that day, and now I am infected with the cold, if I am not afraid of infecting Song Xiao, then we will go over, if you are still afraid, then wait for the third young master to go again." After speaking, the diamond-shaped lips hooked slightly, "What do you say, husband." ”
"Just do as Madame wants."
Ah Bao's original words were passed on to the errand boy, and the little guy added fuel and vinegar to Song County Ling, Song County's face turned dark, how could the son not take him as a father in his eyes.
"Carry it for me, too."
Since it was lifting, of course Song Li had to do enough of this, otherwise it would not be good to slap his wife's face, and after half an hour, he got up from the desk and chair, looked at Su Wenran, and looked at her and smiled even more like a fox.
When the two of them went out, Song Jie waited at the door, and Song Li, who was normal, suddenly collapsed, his steps were vain, and he walked three steps up, and Song Jie hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Don't come and help yet." Song Jie glared at the errand runner who was watching the bustle on the side, and then the little guy stepped forward and helped Song to leave the main courtyard with one left and one right.
Su Wenran looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth looked at whether Song Li was getting more and more difficult to deal with.
Originally, it was three courtyards, and there were no more than two back and forth in the corridor, and it took a full stick of incense to go, and basically this speed could not even crush the ants.
The main room was quiet, the food was already cold, no one moved a chopstick, and finally waited for Song Li to come, so he watched two people help him into the house, "Father, mother." ”
The tone of his voice was hoarse, and he coughed symbolically twice.
Zheng was a little disgusted and covered his nose with his hands, Su Wenran sneered, "Husband, I suffered from the wind and cold when I came back that day, and the injury on my back caused my husband to sleep badly at night, and it has not improved for a few days. ”
Song Xian Ling looked at Song Li and Su Wenran, because the anger of waiting for a long time was suppressed in his chest by these two sentences, and he was not cold, "Sit down." ”
Several parties sat down, each with their own thoughts.
Song Xianling looked at it from everyone's face, "The situation in the court is also changing now, several princes are constantly pulling together their own forces, and the fourth prince is currently the most likely prince to be made the prince." ”
"Now the relationship between the four princes and the Song family in Jinling City is good, although we are in Hongyuan County, but we are also a side of the Song family, we can have a relationship with the Song family, and the days after the four princes are naturally smooth."
"That's what my father said." Song Xiao nodded, "The Song family in Jinling City has always had a close relationship with the four princes, and it is said that they will marry a young lady of the Song family to the four princes as a side concubine, and the four princes are also called the virtuous kings, and they are favored by the saints." ”
"Well, yes, Xiao'er can see it." Song Xianling nodded, "What do you think?" ”
"Ahem, cough, Li'er only reads the books of the sages, and the affairs in the court are naturally decided by the saints, we are speculating here, but it is a bit of a fool's dream."
"You-" Song Xiao looked at Song Li, "The current situation has the advantage of the four princes, and the possibility of becoming the prince is the greatest, why are you a fool's dream." ”
Song Li had a cold light in the corner of his eyes, Song Xiao was a mallet, "This world is holy, who is the saint to set up, how do we know, if it is really so sure that it is the fourth prince, then what will the other princes do?" It is said that the sacred heart is unpredictable, and I can't imagine that the eldest brother still has a time to see through people's hearts. ”
"You-"
"Poof." Su Wenran laughed, "Originally, we didn't say much about the political affairs of the DPRK and China, the world is not the king's land, and I am afraid that if the time comes, I will lose my wife and lose my army, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
"A woman's opinion!" Song Xiao slapped the table angrily, "Only the four princes are established as princes, waiting for a hundred years later, the four princes will become saints, the Song family is the first family, and we can live better as a collateral line." ”
"I don't know where you got your confidence." Su Wenran took the cup and took a sip of tea, frowning coldly and displeasedly.
"I know that the third brother has always been reluctant to participate in these things, my father asked you to get closer to the Song family, but you have been prevaricating, at this time, don't you understand what it means to be both prosperous and one to lose?"
"Xiao'er, don't say it, he doesn't understand Li'er." Zheng Shi spoke to stop Song Xiao from continuing and said, "It's all a family, it's rare to eat together and heat up the dishes." ”
Song Li frowned, with a little disgust in his eyebrows, "Father and mother, we have already eaten, so I won't bother." ”
got up and walked towards the door, without waiting for Song Jie to step forward to support Song Li, Song Xiao rushed to Song Li's front with a brisk step, "If the third brother is unwilling to get close to the Song family, how will we live in the future?" ”
"You can live it as you want, the same sunrise and sunset."
"Hmph, you're such a confident and timid thing." Song Xiao raised his fist, Su Wenran squinted slightly, this Song Li is now her husband, why do you want to beat her husband in front of her?
If he dared, Su Wenran would definitely want Song Xiao to climb out of this house.
Just thinking about it, he saw that Song Li had fallen to the ground, making a muffled sound, and Song Xiao's fist was still stopped in mid-air, no- didn't touch Song Li.
As soon as the corner of Su Wenran's eyes turned, he pounced on Song Li's body, crying and shouting, "Husband, husband, how are you, husband?" You're talking. ”
