Chapter 50: The head of the Song family
Lu Yangsheng, who was carrying food home, did not go home directly as before, but took a long detour and deliberately returned home from Plum Lane, and it was very strange that when he was in Plum Lane, Lu Yangsheng did not deliberately bypass the crowd.
Out of Plum Alley, Lu Yangsheng glanced back, his eyes full of sarcasm.

On the day of the funeral of the ninth master, when everyone in the town went to the ninth master's house, there was actually another not small thing in the town - the medicine store Yuanrentang on North Street was closed by the Song family, and the head of the Song family seemed to have been beaten, and it was the patriarch's wife Feng Ying who beat people.
Everyone in the town knew that when the patriarch's wife Feng Ying was young, her temper was notoriously bad, but after marrying the patriarch, she basically never came forward, and when there were things, the patriarch usually came out to solve them, and she slowly faded out of people's sight, so this time Feng Ying suddenly came forward and beat the head of the Song family, which naturally caused a lot of sensation in the town. It's just that the Song family came forward to suppress the matter, and the funeral of the ninth master was in front of it, so the matter didn't make a big fuss, but just added a little talk for the residents of the town after dinner.
Anyway, the shopkeeper of Yuanrentang happened to be sleeping in the backyard that day, and the pharmacy had not yet opened, so Feng Ying took his son to the door. Looking at the closed door of the store, the old lady didn't say a word, and directly asked her son to dismantle it, and then after the old lady entered the door, she sat on a chair in the lobby and asked to see the shopkeeper by name.
The shopkeeper of Yuanrentang is the son of the old Song family, surnamed Song Mingfang, and he is quite favored in the old Song family, otherwise he would not have come to the pharmacy to be the shopkeeper, but this favor is really not worth mentioning in front of Feng Ying, I heard that the ancestor is here, and the clothes are not dressed, so he came to the lobby in a hurry, kowtowed without saying a word, and shouted the ancestor.
If it is an ordinary family, even if it is Lu Yangsheng, who is the poorest in the town, when he meets Feng Ying, he doesn't have to kneel and kowtow like Song Tong, but Song Tong can't, he is the son of a big family, and they can shout in front of outsiders, but once they are in front of the Feng family and the Song family, they are slaves, not even the beggars in the town, kneeling and kowtowing is a rule, and no one dares to violate it, otherwise they deserve to be killed.
Feng Ying was closing her eyes at the time, after all, she was old, she didn't sleep well last night, and she cried a lot in the morning, which hurt her body a little, so when Song Tong knelt down to ask for peace, she didn't even look at Song Tong, but just said a word lightly.
"What I'm going to talk about today, you can't hold the scene, you go and call your master over."
Feng Ying used to be the eldest lady of the Feng family, and the person who married later was the patriarch, and the majesty of this body was something that he Song Zhi could stand as a small shopkeeper, so when he heard Feng Ying say this, Song Ying hurriedly arranged for someone to invite the owner, but before he could finish arranging it for the guys in the store, the middle-aged man behind Feng Ying spoke, and as soon as the words came out, it instantly made Song Ying sweat.
"The shopkeeper, my mother didn't make it clear or didn't you figure it out? If you don't figure it out, then I'll tell you again, listen, what my mother said is, you can't hold the field, let you call your master over, understand? ”
This middle-aged man is the son of the patriarch Li Chengyuan, and he is also the future patriarch of the Li family in the town, and the real talker in the future of the town - Li Nianfeng
Li Nianfeng's words have actually been made very clear, we are here to find you Song Tong today, but you are a slave, and you don't have the face to let my mother show her head in person, so if you know each other, go to your master and talk clearly, how can you fool our mother. Everyone is a person with a head and a face, our Li family gives your old Song family face, then your old Song family should think about how to return the face.
Having said this, Song Tong understood in his heart that no matter what happened, the Li family was actually very face-giving, but this face was not given to him Song Tong, but to the old Song family behind him, and this so-called "face-giving" actually forced him Song Tong to death.
Song Tong held on to the last bit of luck and wanted to ask what could make Feng Ying angry, but when he looked up and saw Li Nianfeng's face, he knew that people were not interested in talking to him at all. Also, no matter what aspect it is, he Song Tong is not qualified enough to let the two of them look up to him.
There was some bitterness in his heart, but more fear, with this mood, Song Tong came out of the pharmacy like this.
After Song Tong went out, Li Nianfeng wanted to let his mother go back to rest, and he would deal with the matter, but Feng Ying just shook his head. Li Nianfeng sighed and didn't speak again.
Song Tong was about to go crazy, he couldn't figure out whether he had messed with Feng Ying, the old ancestor, the former eldest lady of the Feng family, the sister of the current head of the Feng family, the wife of the patriarch, all of them could crush him to death A small pharmacy shopkeeper, if he Song Tong couldn't understand the matter here before he saw the head of the Song family, then he Song Tong would wait for death.
The family law of the old Song family is not something that everyone can afford.
The closer he got to the Song family, the more scared Song Tong became, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, Li Aniu seemed to have mentioned the patriarch's wife in the morning, but he was so sleepy at that time that he couldn't remember what Li Aniu said. It wasn't until someone passed by him that he heard someone say that today's funeral of the Ninth Master was a filial son made by the head of the Li family himself, and Song Tong collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.
Song Tong knew that he was finished, and even his wife and children were all finished.
When he saw the head of the Song family, Song Zhi was already a little stupid, he barely finished the matter, and said his guess, and then the whole person was already bleeding.
The Song family is in the medicinal herb business, so they naturally saw it at once, this is highly poisonous, and people are no longer saved.
The old Song family can rank among the top three in terms of power and financial resources in the entire medicine street, otherwise it is impossible to grasp the dominance of a pharmacy, but this so-called top three, compared to the Feng family, is not a section and a half.
The head of the Song family is called Song Heqi, who is in his early sixties this year, and Feng Ying is a generation, and he had a good relationship with Feng Ying when he was a child.
Song Heqi has a problem, he likes to pick up a book wherever he goes, and he was always called a nerd by Feng Ying when he was a child.
It is said that the Song family has a room full of books, all of which were bought for Song Heqi by the former head of the Song family. You must know that books are a rare thing in Luoxian Town, and in a town where there is not even a bookstore, the Song family has a room full of books, just think about it, you can know how much Song Heqi was loved by the old family owner back then. Then after the death of the old head of the Song family, the head of the family naturally became Song Heqi as a matter of course.
Song Heqi's first impression is that he is gentle and elegant, but those who have really come into contact with him know that he is ruthless, and he Song Heqi is definitely the number one in Luoyao Street.
After listening to Song Tong's words, Song Heqi was such a ruthless person, and he also felt a little headache. Song Tong, these minions don't know the relationship between Jiu Ye and Li Chengyuan's family, but this doesn't mean that he Song Heqi doesn't know. Song Heqi knew that this matter was difficult.
Rubbing the corners of his eyes, Song Heqi got up from the Taishi chair, walked to the dead Song Tong, rolled up the book in his hand, knocked it twice on his hand, seemed to have no good way, frowned and walked around Song Tong's body twice, and then stepped on Song Tong's head with one foot without saying a word.
The Song family's housekeeper's name is Song Gui, and he is a young man, because the old housekeeper is still hanging on the mass grave, which makes him such a young man become the Song family's housekeeper.
Everyone in the Song family knows that when the head of the family is thinking about something, don't interrupt, otherwise you will wait for yourself to break off. So Song Gui didn't say a word, but quietly retreated, and didn't wait long before he came in with a new pair of boots.
When Song Heqi came back to his senses, he looked at Song Tong's head in disgust, and glanced at Song Gui with slanted eyes, Song Gui quickly knelt on the ground, held his feet with both hands, and carefully changed a new pair of boots to him.
"Little turtle, who else is in the Song Tong family."
When changing shoes, Song Heqi suddenly spoke, Song Gui's hand shook slightly, but he recovered immediately, and then Song Gui said carefully.
"If you go home, Song Tong's family also has an old mother in her sixties, a wife and a fourteen-year-old child, all of whom are born to our family."
Song Heqi nodded, and ordered expressionlessly: "Bury it, remember to choose a bigger place, the family will always be reunited, by the way, take off one of his son's arms, take the good silk and wrap it, I can use it." ”
After saying this, Song Heqi frowned: "Remember to prepare an ox cart for me first, but you can't let my old sister wait too long, after the matter is done, you can send the things directly to Yuanrentang." ”
Song Gu lowered his head, said yes, and hurried out to do errands.
After the people left, Song Heqi turned around and went back to the back hall, and said to himself as he walked: "A group of bastards who don't make people worry, so that the old man doesn't even have time to study with peace of mind, it's really damned." Alas, although the town is large, there is no room for a desk. ”
————
Feng Ying didn't wait long in Yuanren Hall when she heard a movement outside the door, Li Nianfeng went out to take a look, and came back and whispered in her ear: "It's the head of the Song family who came in person." ”
Feng Ying nodded and motioned for Li Nianfeng to go out to greet him.
After Li Nianfeng went out, he looked at Song Heqi who got off the ox cart, hurriedly greeted him, and called Uncle Song enthusiastically.
It seems that the person is Li Nianfeng, Song Heqi smiled, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze, and whispered greetings.
"Nian Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have become an adult."
When Li Nianfeng said hello, he quickly swept the people brought by Song Heqi, sighed quietly, and then said with a smile: "It's the little nephew who is rude, I haven't visited for a long time, Uncle Song, you have to take care of it." ”
Song Heqi snorted, even said that it was okay, and then took out a box from the ox cart and handed it to Li Nianfeng.
"Here, it's some books from outside, you see, it's interesting."
Li Nianfeng didn't refuse, and after taking it, he opened it and read it, it was a strange novel.
Song Heqi said with a smile: "Nian Feng, there is a story here, which is very interesting. The story is probably about a hunter and two tigers, the old man was very inspired after reading it, you look back and look more, you can come and ask the old man if you don't understand, and the old man will tell you a good story. ”
Li Nianfeng knew what Song Heqi was talking about, his face remained unchanged, and he replied with the same smile.
"Uncle Song is very knowledgeable, and he is well-known in several of our families, coincidentally, my little nephew just has a question I want to ask."
"Oh?" Song Heqi frowned: "Let's hear it." ”
Li Nianfeng arched his hand and said, "Coincidentally, the problem of the little nephew is also related to the tiger. The little nephew heard that there were two tigers in the mountains before, and they were often harassed by a poisonous snake, and the tigers were very annoying, uncle, if you were a tiger, what would you do? ”
Song Heqi's face did not change, and he smiled: "In this way, it will be difficult to do, after all, the poison of poisonous snakes is not easy to solve." ”
Li Nianfeng arched his hand again, and said with a serious face: "Since Uncle Song doesn't know, the little nephew will ask for advice in the future, but Uncle Song, my mother is old, and she can't see anything too exciting, and I hope my uncle can understand." ”
Song Heqi said with a smile: "That's nature. Sister Feng and I have played since childhood, so we naturally know Sister Feng's temper and what to do. ”
Li Nianfeng nodded.
"Then Uncle Song, you can go in, it just so happens that you haven't talked to my mother for a long time. The two of you go in to talk, and the little nephew waits outside. ”
Song Heqi nodded, turned around and entered the pharmacy, Li Nianfeng closed the door with his hand, but did not enter.
The poisonous snake sees the tiger, and it is also a tigress, this level is not easy.
