Song Nan's psychological contrast is very great, the mood is extremely depressed, he graduated from a famous university in later generations, and in just a few years after entering a multinational real estate company, he sat on the throne of executives with an annual salary of millions.

In addition to work, he travels around the world with paid holidays, and loves all kinds of advanced high-end sports, surfing, paragliding, exploration, etc. are his favorites, and the quality of life is also outrageous.

But now, the soul has been worn for hundreds of years, and he has come to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, looking at the houses with four walls, looking at the cotton gowns on his body, and drinking a bowl of fish soup is considered a luxury, which is how he can adapt.

Moreover, he knew that even such a day would not last long, the Song Nan he possessed was a sick man, and the Song family's little money had been consumed in the days of illness, and this time Song's mother used the only jewelry in the last few as dressings and supplements, except for thirty acres of barren fields rented to farmers for cultivation, the family had nothing.

There are still shelves full of ancient books at home, that is the only thing left by Song Nan who is possessed by himself, he started reading at the age of five, and after ten years of accumulation, these musty books at home that can't be eaten or drunk have been accumulated.

"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book" In such a situation, this sentence sounds very ridiculous, and now there will be no three meals at home, is it like a scholar to eat books?

There are now a total of four people in the family, but it is a standard large family configuration, mother and herself, plus a maid named Ping'er and an old servant uncle, there are servants and maidservants under such poverty, which seems a little unreasonable, but it represents the life of the mother and son of the Song family.

Song Nan learned from memory that Song's mother and herself originally lived under the mansion of the Song Mansion in Ulzhou, and lived a life of abundant food and clothing.

His mother was originally a servant girl next to Song De, beautiful in life, gentle in nature, Song De liked her very much, so he wanted to accept her as a side room; Unexpectedly, the eldest lady of the Song Mansion, the Yan family, was jealous and mean, and she was not allowed to make a lot of noise, and Song Nan was born, but the matter of taking a concubine was not over, and Song Nan became a maid who was not even as good as a concubine.

In this year, the eldest and youngest names are a great gift, background is more important than anything else, especially in large families, Song Nan's unexpected birth made the eldest woman Yan extremely dissatisfied, even if the son was born, Yan was also crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and Song Dena's mother was never allowed to be a concubine, and the status of Song Nan's mother and son in the Song Mansion can be imagined.

Song De felt that he owed Song Nan's mother and son, and couldn't stand the noise of the Yan family, so he placed another courtyard for their mother and son in Beida Lane, Dongcheng, and asked Mr. Private School to teach Song Nan to read, equipped with groom servants and maidservants, but Song De thought that he could live a long time, but he didn't expect that Song Nan died of an emergency when he was ten years old, and he didn't have time to leave a word for Song Nan's mother and son.

Song De died, and the Yan family and Song De's sister-in-law Song Huan refused to recognize the identity of Song Nan's mother and son, not only did not allow Song Nan's mother and son to guard the spirit and wear filial piety, but also took back the house in Beidaxiang, and completely expelled Song Nan's mother and son from the Song family.

Song's mother was weak, she was born as a maidservant, and she had never seen much of the world, so she dared to compete for the short and long, so she had to take Song Nan to quietly burn some paper money in front of Song De's grave and kowtow a few times, which was considered to be a complete task.

Fortunately, Song's mother was thrifty and well-housed, and she took care of some of the money and silver things that Song De secretly stuffed into her before her death, and she also saved a few hundred taels of silver.

The servants in the family were also scattered, only Uncle Zhong and Ping'er did not want to leave, and followed the orphan and widow loyally.

Although Song's mother will run the family, but after all, she is a woman's family, and she took out her savings to buy thirty acres of land outside the south gate, but was deceived by the brokers, thirty acres of land is not a good land at all, but a barren mountainous land, rented to farmers every year for farming, and the rent in hand is not enough to protect the family's food and drink, and they have to put money inside.

Song's mother pinned all her hopes on Song Nan and spent money for Song Nan to study, but Song Nan's body was too weak, and she lingered on the sickbed for half a year.

……

On the evening of that day, Song Nan was sitting depressed in the wing room, and there was a soft conversation between Ping'er and Song's mother in the hall outside, and Song Nan faintly heard a sigh, so he listened quietly with bated breath.

"Madam, Uncle Zhong went to Nancheng to collect rent today and returned empty-handed, this summer there was a bad insect plague, there was almost no harvest in the field, Uncle Zhong really can't bear to persecute them."

Mother Song sighed and said for a while: "That's it, I know that this is the result, and it's just a matter of trying luck to ask Uncle Zhong to go." ”

Ping'er said: "However, if you can't collect the rent, what should you do at home?" Seeing that winter is coming, how will we spend this winter? The young master's cotton robe has been torn in several places, and he has no money to buy new ones, and you have pressed a few good winter coats on Pingyi pawn, how can you go out in winter? ”

Mother Song sighed again and said softly: "I'm nothing, I don't go out without cotton clothes, but you and Uncle Zhong haven't made new clothes for a few years, and we don't have money to pay you wages, it's really hard for you, it's really a blessing for me and Nan'er to meet you." ”

Ping'er said softly: "What does Madame say, it is right to serve you, if it wasn't for Madame's rescue, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death on the street, but it's a pity that the little maid has no ability, if she is a strong man, at least she can go to the street to do some coolies to make money, and now she can only do some chores at hand, and she can't help Madame anything; Uncle Zhong is old, and he can't do coolies, but we have become a burden, Uncle Zhong said that this will be the case next year, so he will find a place where no one is waiting to die, and he can't drag down the lady and the young master. ”

Mother Song hurriedly said: "You tell Uncle Zhong, but don't think so, we are all a family now, and no one treats you as servants, if Uncle Zhong does that, it will be an injustice to my mother and son." ”

Ping'er said softly: "I think Uncle Zhong is just talking, he won't leave us alone, but how can we get through the current difficulties?" ”

Mother Song was silent for a while, and then said, "Ping'er, take this as a treat, maybe you can survive this winter." ”

Ping'er exclaimed: "No, madam, that's the only thing left by the master, and I don't think about it anymore." ”

Mother Song smiled bitterly: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of remembering it, it's better to exchange money for silver, to feed a family, the old man should not be blamed, his son has no food and no clothes to wear, this is also his most conscientious responsibility as a father." ”

Song Nan felt uncomfortable when he heard this, his family was already so poor, no matter what, he was the only man in the family who could support the façade, how could he stand by and watch; In the past ten days, from Song's mother to Uncle Zhong and Ping'er, they have taken meticulous care of themselves, and their neighbors have also been very good to themselves.

Song Nan thought about it, got up and gently lifted the curtain and walked out of the wing, in the hall, Song's mother held a delicate jade hairpin in her hand and handed it to Ping'er reluctantly, needless to say, it was the most beautiful token left by her 'father' Song De.

Seeing Song Nan come out, Song Mu gently put the jade hairpin into her sleeve, her face was instantly full of smiles, and she said softly: "Nan'er, are you tired of reading?" It's good to come out for a walk, although the autumn exam is imminent, but your illness is just right, you still have to pay attention to your body. ”

Ping'er echoed: "Yes, the young master will go out with the big cow next door after reading for a while, it will definitely be good for the body." ”

Song Nan said quietly: "Mother, our family is already exhausted, right?" ”

Mother Song was stunned, and then said angrily: "You kid, what did you say, what do you mean by exhaustion?" Even if you read your books, your family has land and land, as well as your mother and uncle Ping'er, where is your turn to worry. ”

Song Nan said: "Mother, don't lie to me, I know the situation at home, mother, you don't have to take the jade hairpin that your father gave you, I'll figure it out, the child is a boy of the Song family, how can you let your mother worry about dressing and eating, that child is too useless." ”

Mother Song smiled embarrassedly: "There is no jade hairpin, don't be distracted, just study hard." ”

Song Nan said: "I can't study in such a situation, I've already thought of a way, I'll go get the money tomorrow." ”

Song Mu was stunned and said, "Do you have a way?" What can you do. In the eyes of the Song family, Song Nan is a thin, well-behaved and timid teenager, and he doesn't dare to speak when he sees anyone, and it is indeed a little surprising to see Song Nan say such things at this moment.

Song Nan didn't care about Song Mu's tone, and said in his heart: The Song Nan in your mind has long since disappeared, since I am attached to Song Nan's body, I can't even maintain my livelihood, so what else do I mess with?

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to run errands with Da Niu, you wait for my good news." Song Nan quietly turned around and went back to the side room, leaving Song's mother and maid Xiaoping looking at each other in astonishment, not knowing why.
