Chapter 43: The ashes are resurrected
Ye Fanggu's injuries are getting better day by day, and by the end of the first month, she has basically acted as usual, a month of lingering on the bed, and people have gained weight, and every morning when she dresses up, Ye Fanggu has to complain; What made Ye Fanggu even more anxious was that the wound on her chest left a pale black mark the size of a fingernail, which was the result of Song Nan mixing fragrant ash with honey to stop bleeding, and after the scar fell off, the faint black marks on the new flesh were extremely eye-catching on the satin-like chest skin.
When the two sisters were sitting in the sun and chatting by the flower bed on the patio, Ye Fanggu whispered to Lu Qingli about her worries.
Lu Qingli grinned and comforted her cousin: "It's just a little bit, you can't notice it if you don't look carefully, not to mention that the location is covered by clothes, who will stare at my sister?" Aren't you afraid that your cousin will give him a sword? ”
Ye Fanggu said angrily: "There are always scars, whether I can see it or not, I always feel bad in my heart." ”
Lu Qingli said mischievously: "That's right, my future cousin-in-law will definitely see it, and I'm afraid that people will dislike it when the time comes." ”
Ye Fanggu blushed, to be honest, this is what she is worried about, although she is over twenty years old, she is always Yun Ying unmarried, although she has never thought about whether to marry in this life, but if she marries, the scar on her chest will always be known.
Lu Qingli suddenly said: "Little sister has a way to make up for it." ”
Ye Fanggu hurriedly asked, "What's the way, let's talk about it." ”
Lu Qingli said: "Isn't my sister afraid that the future son-in-law will ask about the origin of this scar?" Let's find someone who knows the bottom line, won't it be done? It is also a long time to explain the province. ”
Ye Fanggu chirped: "Who is worried about this, what nonsense." ”
Lu Qingli ignored her and continued: "There is a candidate right now, my sister might as well marry him." ”
Ye Fanggu said: "Ignore you, you have learned badly." ”
Lu Qingli said with a smile: "Brother Song is very good, capable, and manly, and more importantly, he knows the origin of his scars, not to mention ...... Besides, he also saw his sister's ...... that day There, sister, don't miss it. ”
Ye Fanggu raised her hand to fight, and said: "Chew the root of your tongue, you will have a rotten mouth in the future, and if you talk nonsense, you will give me five hours of practice every day." ”
Lu Qingli wrinkled her little nose and said, "What my sister said is true, after this village, there will be no such shop." ”
Ye Fanggu said: "I think it's you who have fallen in love with someone, every day as soon as Song Gongzi comes back from the barracks, you follow behind like a little tail, do you want my sister to be a matchmaker for you?" ”
Lu Qingli blushed and said: "Sister is so bad, I just want him to tell me the story of the monkey learning scriptures, what he said is much more exciting than the old storyteller in the teahouse, what Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, what turned into a small worm to drill into the belly of the princess of the iron fan to make trouble, it's really fun." ”
Ye Fanggu said: "Really? If Song Gongzi can't tell stories, will you ignore him? ”
Lu Qingli raised her head and thought about it speechlessly, futile quibbling was useless, she seemed to be gradually getting used to listening to him laugh with Song Nan, if Song Nan disappeared one day, she really didn't dare to think about it, this feeling was really a bit unusual.
Ye Fanggu looked at Xiao Nizi with an emotional look, and sighed secretly in her heart, Lu Qingli is sixteen years old, it is when the love is first opened, when she meets a handsome son like Song Nan, it is natural to like him, not to mention that Song Nan also saved her sister, and there is another layer of trust.
The problem is that Song Nan doesn't seem to have any feelings for Qingli, but when he talks to himself, his eyes often reveal touching affection, which makes Ye Fanggu feel very panicked; Why do you suddenly care about fat and thin makeup, and suddenly be troubled by the scar on your chest, a big reason is that you have depicted a scene in your heart, which is in response to the sentence 'women are the ones who please themselves', do you really care about the image in front of Song Nan?
Ye Fanggu sighed and told herself to be sensible, she was already twenty-one, and there was definitely no possibility between her and Song Nan, Song Nan was only seventeen years old after the New Year, and she would not have anything to do with herself no matter what, and she could see that her cousin Qingli seemed to have a good impression of Song Nan, how could she win Qingli's love. It's just that his injuries have healed, and there is no reason to stay in the Song family, Song Nan also said that when his injuries are healed, he will find a way to send him out of the city, and he may never see each other again, so why bother with these unrealistic fantasies.
It's Qingli's matter that you can probe Song Nan's tone, Qingli's beauty, and the age is just right, what is rare is that Qingli is interested in Song Nan, and it's okay to drift by himself, you can't miss Qingli's life, if Song Nan is interested, it's better to match the two of them, and you can rest assured that you can fight the sword world, and you don't have to worry about it.
The two sisters have their own hearts, Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu laughed to test whether their cousin was interested in Song Nan, Song Nan's appearance was a bit like the dead Xu Xiucai, Lu Qingli always felt that her cousin was getting more and more fond of Song Nan, and Lu Qingli obviously felt that Song Nan looked at her cousin differently than she looked at herself; Relatively speaking, Song Nan is more easy-going when she is with her, treating herself like a little sister, and when she is with her cousin, she seems to be well-behaved.
Being young doesn't mean you don't understand the difference, the girl who is just starting to fall in love is actually the most sensitive, but Lu Qingli also told herself that if her cousin likes it, she will never fight with her cousin, and that is her only relative in this world.
After only one month of getting along, Song Nan had no idea that his existence had caused such a big ripple in the hearts of the two sisters, and it was undeniable that Song Nan also had a good impression of the two sisters, not only because of their pitiful background, but also because of the strong personalities of the two sisters and the courage to fight for their lives to avenge their families, which many men dwarfed; But that's just admiration and pity, and it's still 108,000 miles away from love.
Of course, it is also undeniable that Ye Fanggu was extremely impressed in Song Nan's heart; Ye Fanggu is obviously the kind of woman who is soft on the outside and assertive on the inside, her stunning appearance, coupled with the pungent style of acting later, gave Song Nan a strange feeling, so Song Nan also had some thoughts flashing in her mind at some point, but in the end she still suppressed it. After all, it is not easy to control such a woman, and Song Nan will never say anything abruptly. The occasional goodwill between the eyebrows is actually nothing.
For Lu Qingli, Song Nan completely regarded her as a little sister, and the bad taste of liking married women and sisters brought by later generations has not changed with the crossing, or it is because his psychological age is no longer suitable for falling in love with a little Lori like Lu Qingli.
What's more important is that Song Nan has no time to think about these things now, because recently, there have been a lot of troubles, and Song Nan has completely focused on dealing with these things, and has no time to take care of anything else.
The first thing is that Wang Dan, who has suffered a dumb loss, has a new action, although all this is expected, but it gives Song Nan the feeling that all this is coming too fast, and it seems to be a little dizzying.
Five days ago, Jiang Bin told Song Nan that Wang Dan had secretly sold the farmland gathered outside the city, and no longer drove the military households to cultivate it for himself, and that in the months from the previous year to the year after the year, Wang Dan secretly sold the more than 6,000 mu of tuntian land illegally amassed by military households to the military households at a low price, leaving only the 4,000 mu of tuntian land inherent in his status as a relative.
When I heard the news at first glance, I thought it was good news, did Wang Dan change his temper and vowed to be a good official? But Song Nan keenly felt something unusual. This kind of keenness comes from the tight string of vigilance in his heart, Song Nan always doesn't believe that Wang Dan will obediently admit it, so he and Jiang Bin once talked about the best result that Wang Dan rolled up and left, no matter whether he is promoted or low, as long as he doesn't stay in Ulzhou, he will have a real sense of security; And since that incident, Jiang Bin doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he can't wait to cross his shoulders half a street when he walks, under Wang Dan's nose, watching Jiang Bin behave like this every day, how can he bear it?
Song Nan carefully considered Wang Dan's intentions, and concluded that this was a precursor to Wang Dan's counterattack, the reason why Wang Dan was willing to compromise that day, on the one hand, was that he was afraid that after this matter was reported to the imperial court, it would be found out that he had embezzled the military household Tuntian, and now, the Tartar confession was destroyed, and the Tartar witness was executed in front of him, and Wang Dan would think that the incident was no longer a threat to him; At this moment, to send Tuntian's ruthlessness back to the hands of the military household is to wipe off the last piece of shit on his buttocks, and then he can launch a retaliation without any scruples, and it is unknown how to retaliate.
Another heartwarming thing is the defense of Ulzhou, as soon as the Shangyuan Festival passed, the activities of the Tartar rangers became frequent, perhaps in retaliation for several raids by the Ming army a few years ago, the Tartar rangers mobilized nearly 800 heavy troops to carry out a continuous raid on the walled forts north of Ulzhou, seven of the thirteen walled forts were completely destroyed, and the Ulzhou Wei lost nearly 100 defenders. Although Jiang Bin led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to drive away, the Tartar soldiers came and went like the wind, and did not engage Jiang Bin head-on at all.
Jiang Bin has always been in charge of the defense of the walled fort in the north of the city, and in the past few days, Wang Dan has even issued an order to urge Jiang Bin to stabilize the defense of the north of the city.
Looking at the two things together, Song Nan vaguely understood Wang Dan's intentions, it was at this time that Wang Dan could completely remove Jiang Bin from his post in the name of defending against the enemy, as long as this situation continued for a few more days, Jiang Bin would almost certainly be labeled as incompetent; I have to say that Wang Dan's choice of timing is really good, Song Nan is annoyed that Wang Dan, a dog thief, did not focus on the defense of Ulzhou at all, and the foreign enemy is arrogant, and he also chose this opportunity to engage in internal strife, and the difference in this person's character can be seen.
But it is useless to be in a hurry, such a situation must be improved immediately, otherwise Jiang Bin will be difficult to protect, and he will be finished.
Song Nan vaguely felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, maybe there was room for Wang Dan when he designed him, and it was the biggest mistake to force Wang Dan to leave Ulzhou at that time, and the current situation is to pay for the previous mistakes.
