Song Si only took a few quarters of an hour to come and go, and when he got home, he pretended that nothing had happened, let alone told his family.

After dinner in the evening, the family was in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, Grandma Song called Song Si to go to her house, and gave him twelve taels of silver, "You take these well, if it is not enough, take the time to go to the stall to tell your father and mother, and grandma will give it to you." ”

Song Si only kept ten taels, and he had to pay it when he returned to the academy tomorrow, and he couldn't be in arrears, as for food, he would think about earning some, "I still have some leftovers last month, and I can't use so much." ”

"Take it.

Grandma Song didn't know that he already knew that the family needed silver to redeem the bracelet, "Although your uncle can't go up to the mountains to hunt, but this seller can earn more than one or two silver a day, and the life of the family is better than before, you take this silver, eat more in the academy, don't be reluctant." ”

"I do have some more, last month I copied some things for my classmates, and I earned two taels, if grandma doesn't believe it, I'll show you."

As he spoke, he got up.

Where would Grandma Song not believe her, this is a grandson who grew up in front of her since childhood, she knows her temperament clearly, and she has never lied. But he still pushed two taels of silver in front of him, "Grandma believes in you, but it is not long before the autumn exam, you take these silvers, eat better in the academy, and raise your body, grandma has heard that many students fainted in the examination shed in previous years." ”

I studied hard for three years, in order to become famous in the first exam, and it would be a pity if I fainted inside.

If she shirks it any longer, grandma may be suspicious, Song Si took the silver, "I know, grandma don't worry." ”

Early the next morning, Song Si followed the family's ox cart to the county seat, and the academy only opened in the afternoon.

Last night, Song Si said that he would come over early in the morning, Liu Cuilan and Song Shu summed it up, got up a little early, made dozens of more, and sold them until after noon, leaving the last few sheets.

Leaving one, Liu Cuilan generously cut the rest, put cucumber shreds and seasonings and mixed them, and asked Song Sanxiao to buy steamed buns, and the family sat in the stall to eat.

After eating and cleaning up, it was almost time for Song Si to go to the academy.

"Shen'er, you and Yue'er are going to send your eldest brother, let's stay and clean up, and come back as soon as we finish sending, we have to rush back."

The two responded, Song Shen consciously put the book basket on his back, and the three of them walked through the market where there was no one anymore and walked towards the academy.

Later, Liu Cuilan cut and adjusted the cold skin left behind, and put it aside, "Third brother, when you go to put the tables, chairs and benches in a while, bring this bowl of cold skin to people." ”

Song Sanxiao has been very honest these days, obediently following the stall every day, obediently following the ground, Liu Cuilan has seen him so honest for the first time since she got married, and she is a little unaccustomed to it.

"I know the second sister-in-law, you put it there, and I'll bring it to them later."

The gate of the academy has been opened, and students have entered one after another, Song Shen unloaded the book basket and gave it to Song Si, Song Si was just about to ask them a few words, a surprised voice came from the side, "Little girl, why are you again?" ”

When the words fell, Qi Ying strode over, his eyes swept over Song Si's face as if unintentionally, and fell on Song Wanyue, "We are really fateful, we can meet every day." ”

Song Wanyue saw her movements in her eyes and pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, what a coincidence, Sister Qi Ying." ”

I don't know if I heard the ridicule in her voice, or if I was weak-hearted, Qi Ying's face turned slightly red, "I'm here to see off my cousin, who is also studying in this academy." ”

"Oh——,"

Song Wanyue elongated her voice, Qi Ying's face turned even redder, afraid of being seen, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "You are ......"

"My second brother and I are here to see off my eldest brother."

Qi Ying nodded at him as if she had just seen Song Si.

Song Si also nodded, there was an outsider there, he swallowed back what he was going to say, and instructed, "You two go back quickly, the family is still waiting." ”

"Got it, big brother."

Song Wanyue and Song Shen responded in unison.

"Big brother is watching you go."

Hearing him say this, Qi Ying was embarrassed to say that she wanted to go with them, and after watching Song Wanyue and Song Shen greet her, she turned around and left.

Until he couldn't see the two of them, Song Si also turned around and entered the academy with the book basket on his back.

Qi Ying opened his mouth, as if to call him, but in the end he didn't make a sound.

……

It was already mid-afternoon when I arrived at the entrance of the village, and a horse-drawn cart drove out of the village quickly and passed by their ox cart.

Song Shu looked at it twice, it was really too rare for a carriage, especially this carriage had a tent, and he wondered in his heart, who in the village had such good relatives, why had he never heard of it before.

When they got home, they unloaded the ox cart and a few people cleaned it briefly.

Song Ming's daughter-in-law rushed in from outside, knelt on the ground, and burst into tears, "Second brother, please help me, the eldest girl was sold by his father!" ”

"What?"

Song Shu was shocked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just now, I went to work in the field, and my mother-in-law said that she broke her leg and left the eldest girl to serve at home. The one who killed a thousand knives took advantage of this time to sell the eldest girl, and the second girl ran to tell me that when I returned home, the eldest girl had been taken away. ”

"You get up first, let's chase after us."

"They came in a carriage, and we can't catch up with each other."

Song Shu thought of the carriage just now, turned around and went to set up the ox cart, Song Sanxiao was also angry, and found a stick with thick arms and held it in his hand.

The life of the people in the village is not easy, but I haven't heard of anyone selling their daughters, Song Ming, this brute, is his daughter, how can he be so ruthless.

"I'll go with you."

Song Lin and Xu also came out of the house when they heard the movement, and after listening to Song Ming's daughter-in-law's words, they came forward with a limp.

"Big brother, don't follow, don't hurt your legs again, the three of us go."

Liu Cuilan picked up Song Ming's daughter-in-law as she spoke, took her arm and walked out the door.

"Then be careful."

Song Lin instructed uneasily.

A few people got into the ox cart, Song Shu raised his whip, and he didn't care about being distressed, and whipped it on the cow hard, and the cow was in pain and ran forward like crazy.

Song Lin gritted his teeth with hatred, "This Song Ming, tiger poison doesn't eat children, if he does this, he won't be afraid that God will kill him with a thunderbolt!" ”

"Alright, don't be angry, go back to the house first."

Xu persuaded him to go back to the house.

Song Wanyue pursed her lips, walked outside the door, and looked into the distance.

"Little sister, what are you looking at?"

Song Shen followed.

Before Song Wanyue could answer, Gu Yi's carriage appeared in the distance.
