In the early spring morning, a peach blossom sticks out silently from the half-rolled window curtains, with a wet smell, gently swaying with the soft wind, bringing the sweet fragrance into the room.

The maid in the pink scarlet skirt stood by the window, using a jade comb to comb the black hair of the young man.

Song Xuan passed on to his aunt Yanguo's wife Song Yixiao when he was young, although Song Yixiao has always treated him very well, but Song Xuan always kept in mind the advice of his biological parents, and since he came to Song Yixiao's knees, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and did not dare to have the slightest negligence. So even as I grow older, the mother-son relationship between me and Song Yixiao becomes deeper and deeper, this respectful and cautious sex. Son, in the end, it is difficult to change.

is because although he treats the people around him generously, he rarely jokes with them, especially the maid - after all, he is young and handsome, and he was raised by Song Yixiao as his own son.

And Song Yixiao is in harmony with her husband Yan Guogong, although she has not said it explicitly, but it can be seen from her daily speech and demeanor that she does not approve of this kind of thing.

Song Xuan respects his stepmother and will not knowingly commit it.

In this case, the sensible maid naturally said less and did more, and did not dare to talk to him rashly, so as not to cause any trouble.

But today's situation is a bit special - the maid in charge of combing his hair has already tied his hair for him, and even the hairpin has been changed three times, Song Xuan, who usually got up early to go to the flower hall for breakfast, stared straight into the bronze mirror, and did not react at all.

"Childe?" The maid was a little frightened, she was originally the little maid next to Song Yixiao, because she was born when the impatiens bloomed, the impatiens were also known as henna, and the milk was called little nails. Because Song Xuan took office as a personal maid, he climbed up. The thought of the bed was sold by Song Yixiao far away, so she changed her name to "Ruoxian" and sent her over to replace Song Xuan's personal maid.

Those who have always been able to be close servants must at least be born with a full face, so as not to lose the face of the master.

This Ruoxian is much more beautiful than ordinary close servants, and she is a beautiful embryo with skin and eyebrows.

Song Yixiao didn't like her son to take a maid as a concubine, but she sent her to serve Song Xuan, first, because she was raised by Song Yixiao and had her own trust; The second is because as early as half a year ago, when she was out on an outing, she met and fell in love with a scholar who came to the imperial capital to catch the exam.

The scholar didn't think she was born as a maid, and went to the Yanguo Mansion last month to ask for money, to raise money to redeem her body and then officially marry her as a wife - Song Yixiao had already approved this matter, and privately said that he would take the scholar's ransom silver and add another amount of makeup, as Ruoxian's dowry, Song Xuan also knew, so he was not afraid that Ruoxian would come to serve Song Xuan, and there would be a story that had to be told between the master and servant.

But this will make Song Xuan stare directly at himself in the mirror...... What does it mean?

Ruoxian's face stiffened, and his heart was shocked.

"Huh?" Song Xuan simply came back to his senses after being shouted by her, and immediately turned his gaze away, and said, "I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't notice that you had already combed it out...... What about the outerwear? ”

Ruoxian lowered her head, took off the coat from the hanger next to her, and held it with both hands to put it on.

Then he followed him to the flower hall and served him breakfast.

It wasn't until Song Xuan left after breakfast that he didn't look at her much in the middle, let alone say anything, everything was as usual, Ruoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "It seems that I am thinking too much...... Also, Xuan Gongzi has always been decent, and he wanted to hook before. The maid who led him is said to have dared to use such a brain because of her beauty, but in the end, she was not kicked out by his wife? How could I think he was looking at me? It's really confusing! ”

She raised her hand and patted her cheek, smiled and walked away - Song Xuan will be out of Jiangnan Hall next month, and she will not follow her because she is about to leave the mansion to marry a scholar who is in love with each other.

However, Song Yixiao specifically pointed to her henchman, and it was not for her to be idle: she had to take advantage of this time to observe carefully to see which people were suitable for Song Xuan to take to the Song Mansion and which were not...... Although she is about to stop being a slave, she is still very willing to serve Mrs. Song Yixiao, who rescued her from human traffickers and gave her a life as a maid.

While Song Yixiao's master and servant were busy with Song Xuan's succession, Song Xuan himself was also thinking about this matter-

Mainly because of Song Luoshi, the biological father who came to the door last month.

He was only passed on to Song Yixiao back then, in order to let him cultivate a relationship with his stepmother as soon as possible, and because he quickly returned to the imperial capital with his stepmother, he was far away from his biological parents, so except for his aunt Song Luoyan who would come to visit him from time to time, his real blood relatives have stayed away from him since then.

Even if his father entered the court as an official two years ago, he also adhered to the rule that the law is greater than the bloodline, and rarely met him, let alone talked to him alone when he came to the Yanguo Mansion.

Last month's situation was special, because Song Luoshi was invited by Song Yixiao to discuss Song Xuan's matter of Jiang Nantang's heir.

After their brother and sister finished speaking, Song Yixiao suggested that Song Luoshi talk to Song Xuan alone: "Since Xuan'er came to my knees, my brother has never been close to him. I know that my brother is afraid that the child will be close to you, the biological father, and neglect me and my husband. However, after all these years, Xuan'er has always been very filial to us, so why should my brother stay away from him? Moreover, Xuan'er will inherit Jiangnan Hall immediately, and at that time, he will have to ask his brother to support and assist him! Brother is embarrassed, can he stay away for the rest of his life?! ”

Song Luoshi thanked his sister for her kindness and followed Song Xuan to her residence.

At that time, Song Xuan originally thought that this strange father would shush himself and ask for warmth, or tell about the places to pay attention to in the succession ceremony, etc.-who knew that after the father and son sat down in the hall, Song Luoshi watched the people retire, was silent for a moment, but said: "Do you know, why you can inherit Jiangnan Hall?" ”

"Is it because of my stepmother's love?" Song Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously replied.

When he said this, what he really wanted to say was: Could it be that his father designed his stepmother?

In the end, he has been a son to Song Yixiao for more than ten years, of course Song Xuan knows that Song Yixiao only has a bad feeling for Jiang Nantang, if it weren't for the coincidence back then, she might not be willing to worry about Jiang Nantang's heir.

Now that Song Luoshi asked this, Song Xuan naturally thought that he wanted to tell himself about the intrigue that went back and forth thousands of times, and the theme was how Song Luoshi's branch went through many dangers and dangers, paving a way for him to inherit Jiangnan Hall when he was young and ignorant.

Then the point is that Song Xuan can't forget their favor and dedication, don't really stupidly put his father-in-law and stepmother before his biological parents...... This.

Who would have thought that Song Luoshi glanced at him with a heavy gaze, and said lightly: "Your stepmother is indeed indispensable, but even without him, you will inherit Jiang Nantang sooner or later." In the final analysis, this is because of Ji Nangong's legacy! ”

Song Xuan was about to secretly say that he had guessed correctly, and when he heard the last sentence, he was taken aback: "Ji Nangong? ”

Of course he knows who Song Ying and Song Jinan are - Song Yixiao's grandfather, the last accomplished head of Jiangnantang, almost killed Qingzhou Su Keng back then, but he fell short because of his longevity......

However, Song Xuan never felt that this person had anything to do with him? At most, he is about to become the titular great-grandson of this man.

After all, his stepmother Song Yixiao felt that it had nothing to do with this grandfather...... I can't complain that he will think that Song Ying is simply someone else's family.

"Ji Nangong has always been confident, and his old man's methods, we only know a thing or two from outsiders." Song Luoshi looked at him and said hesitantly, "And after Jiang Nantang passed it on to his only son, Song Yuan, it was destroyed in less than twenty years, and even the heirs were broken...... Even if Song Yuan was not angry, and rushed the royal family to take revenge on the Su family, Duanmu and others fell into the ground, but, with Ji Nangong's means, even if he only left a few tricks, with the ancestral heritage, how could Jiang Nantang fall so quickly without fighting back? ”

Seeing Song Xuan's surprise, he slowly exhaled, "The reason why this is so is because Ji Nangong didn't pass on the real Jiangnan Hall to Song Yuan at all!" ”

"As early as when Song Yuan repented of his marriage to Miss Gu and remarried Wei, Ji Nangong began to secretly transfer the essence of Jiangnan Hall, and sent people to travel all over the world to select the real heir from the Song family's side branches scattered all over the country!"

"What Song Yuan has in his hands is just what Ji Nangong gave him in order to hide people's eyes!"

"This is because Ji Nangong only has one son, Song Yuan, but Song Yuan is a lover...... If he was like some ancestors of the Song family, he admired a truly virtuous and courteous woman, even if the lintel was lower, Ji Nangong would not mind. ”

"But the one he admires, Ji Nangong just checked it casually, and he saw that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"In addition, Ji Nangong does not trust his wife, Mrs. Pang."

"Although Wei had not yet entered the Song family at that time, Ji Nangong had already expected that his family house would be restless - although Ji Nangong did not expect him to go so early, but he felt that he was unlikely to have a second son, and if he did, he might not have time to cultivate, after careful consideration, he finally chose to let Jiang Nantang pass it on from the side branch!"

Song Luoshi had a faint sadness and remembrance in his eyes, "And in the end, he chose our one!" ”

"Then why did one of the children of the Song Lu family be sold by the government back then, and no one helped us?" When Song Xuan heard this, he subconsciously asked.

"You can say this, instead of glad that the true essence of Jiangnan Hall has long fallen into the hands of our team, it seems that your father-in-law and mother-in-law have indeed taught you well over the years." Song Luoshi nodded, and said with a heavy expression, "But that matter, it's not that our team doesn't help, but ...... The message that Ji Nangong sent to us before his death repeatedly emphasized that if one day his children and grandchildren encounter misfortune because Song Yuan is obsessed with Webster, don't stretch out your hand! Even if his branch is cut off because of this, he is not allowed to interfere! ”

Seeing that Song Xuan was stunned, Song Luoshi said miserably, "Don't you understand?" You said that your stepmother, what did you do back then to fall into the hands of the Liu family and be tortured? The name of Ji Nangong's shrewdness is well known to the government and the public, the royal family and the Su family, those who all hope for the destruction of Jiangnan Hall, how can they not guard against the means left by Ji Nangong during his lifetime?! So why are Song Yuan's biological children all having a bad time? Or even if you have a good life at first, you will definitely have a bad life later? ”

"It's not because Song Yuan always can't marry a virtuous woman as a step-family-but because someone needs to use this way to provoke us to completely eradicate Jiangnan Tang!"

"Therefore, when your grandfather was in the past, he received news that your stepmother was having a bad time in the hands of the Song Liu clan, and she had to go to the Hengshan Palace; Or did I hear that the last male heir of Jiangnan Hall died in the revenge of the Hengshan Palace...... It's not that we don't want to help them, and it's not that we don't miss Ji Nangong's kindness, but really, for the sake of Jiangnantang, we can only and don't know what to do! ”

Song Luoshi's eyes were slightly red, but his tone was steady, he looked at the silent Song Xuan, "I came to tell you this today, not for anything else, but to tell you that Ji Nangong chose our inheritance Jiangnan Hall, and we chose you to be the inheritor - the price in between is unimaginable and incalculable, and even Ji Nangong directly gave up his own blood and blood for this reason, and paid the price of his complete heir!" ”

"This kind of dedication and sacrifice is just the continuation of Jiangnan Hall."

"The world only sees the glory of our six domestic valves, they are either envious or jealous, but few people will pay attention, for the transmission of this glory, how much we have paid, and how much will we pay!?"

"Xuan'er, I just hope that you will go forward, meet people in trouble, often think about Ji Nangong, don't live up to the words 'Jiangnan Song'!"

…… That day, Song Xuan was restless and sent Song Luoshi away.

Before Song Luoshi said these words to him, although he was a little afraid of the matter of going out of Jiangnantang, it was mainly because of the instinctive helplessness of leaving the familiar Yanguo Mansion and going to the unfamiliar Song Mansion to live alone.

He didn't actually feel very stressed.

After all, among the six valves in the sea, Jinxiutang has become extinct, and the heir Jian Xubai has no intention of changing his surname to Duanmu.

In contrast, although Jiangnan Tang has only died of the last male in the past ten years, its ill-fated fate is not comparable to that of Jinxiutang - after all, Jinxiutang is a steady and steady generation.

And everyone knows that Jiang Nantang has been shattered in all aspects after passing through Song Yuan, Song Lu's family, and Song Yixiao, the three masters who don't care about it one by one.

In this case, Song Xuan, who succeeded in the past, really felt that it was no different from when he was a righteous son in the Yanguo Mansion - that is, he lived in the ancestral house of the Song family, worked hard to have more sons after marrying a wife, and sacrificed to the ancestors of Jiangnan Hall on a year-by-year basis.

As for saying the rest - what are you kidding?

What he inherited was just a mess, how could he be expected to revitalize the Song family's court?

What's more, with the prominence of the Song family's ancestors, Song Xuan didn't feel that he had any hope of truly revitalizing it in his life.

So he always thought that he only needed to inherit the bloodline.

But over the past few days, he has repeatedly recalled Song Luoshi's words, thought of Song Ying's choice, and the young man's heart, in the initial confusion and confusion, gradually realized......

The young man in the scarlet robe and black hair suddenly stopped on the corridor, subconsciously looked down at his palm, and thought, "Perhaps, it is...... Liability? ”
