Chapter 108: The History of the Song Family
Song Tanxi was suddenly ashamed and hurriedly knelt down.
Hastily apologized, "I'm sorry, I, I ......"
Her face was flushed, but she didn't seem to know how to defend herself.
"Don't kneel, get up and speak slowly, I think, you want to defend your father so desperately, it shouldn't be because you want to die with him." Qingqi said lightly.
"I'm ......" Song Tanxi wet her eyes, she didn't expect Qingqi to give her a chance like this.
She slowly got up, sat back down, collected her emotions, and said slowly: "My father, he was born in a very poor peasant family, but because of his good talent, he was taken by the old Xiucai in the village and taught him to read and write. ”
"My grandparents and grandmothers are peasant families who can't read a single word, they know that reading is useful, but they can't afford anything, the grain they collect every year, pay the taxes, and it is not enough for the whole family to have food and clothing, they have a pair of young sons who are born with dragons and phoenixes, because they were infected with a cold in the winter, and they died without money to see a doctor."
"After they knew that my father was talented in reading, they also wanted to devote the whole family to training him, but at that time, even if they tried hard for the whole family, they couldn't train him."
"In order for my father to study, my second uncle went out to work as an apprentice, and then went south and north to become a merchant."
"My father also desperately seized every opportunity to study and write, and he couldn't get married until he was twenty years old, but he finally passed the Xiucai exam. Under His Majesty's many reforms, the life of the family was much better, and my second uncle became a merchant, and he also earned some money and began to do small business. ”
"In the next few years, my father finally had the opportunity to study, all the way to high school, my second uncle's business is getting better and better, and our Song family, when my father was admitted to the Jinshi and was awarded an official, he was finally able to change his court."
"My father was pure and filial, and when he first took office, he took his grandfather and grandmother with him. My grandfather and grandmother didn't have much knowledge, but they were like my father's heart, and looking at them, he would not get lost as an official. Therefore, my father has been an official for nearly 20 years, and he has never done anything corrupt or perverted the law, and his income is not enough for him to help the people. All the expenses of our family depended on my mother's dowry on the one hand, and my second uncle on the other. ”
"My second uncle later ran around in business, and my father was a backer, and the business was very big, and he also tried to spend money to dredge up the relationship with my father to see if he could go to the capital to be an official, but my father refused, my father said that he knew how much he was capable of, and he could do some practical things in the local area, so it would not be in vain that he studied so hard back then."
"He was such a person, and my father I saw and knew until before the drought, before I got married, was such a person."
"Don't get me wrong, although I am a boudoir woman and stay in the back house all the year round, my father has never taken a concubine, my younger brother is still underage, and my father is very fond of me, and often tells me about things I encounter outside, so I am not judging him without knowing anything."
"I know that my cry is a bit one-sided, but what I said is true, every word is true, and my father's past resume can be found out at a glance."
Song Tanxi was afraid that Qinghua would not believe it, so she looked at her nervously.
The green tree was thoughtful.
The history of the Song family is similar to that of the poor children she has heard.
As far as the performance of the Song prefect is concerned, he is still a person with good character.
He is also a man with brains.
