Song Anning and his party only arrived in the afternoon.

Mrs. Song, Shen Jiao, and Master Song, Song Hexing, were already waiting at the gate.

Seeing the two sons return with the carriage, both of them stepped forward excitedly.

"Is Ning Ning back?"

Holly jumped down from the carriage first, and then supported Song Anning with Poria, Song Anning was also very happy when he saw the second elder, and bowed respectfully, "Father and mother, I'm back." ”

"Okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Holly and Poria also smiled and greeted Song Hexing and Shen Jiao, both of them responded with a smile, the family was both grateful and excited, even Song Hexing, who had never liked to show emotions, also had red eyes and walked inward happily.

"Didn't you say you set off half a month ago? Why did it take so long to get there? ”

"It's snowing, the road is not easy to walk, so I walked slower for safety, which made my father and mother worried."

Song Helan explained.

Shen Jiao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I forgot that most of the roads up the mountain from Jizhou came all the way, I really need to pay attention to safety, hurry up, first step over a brazier, go to bad luck, and in the future, all diseases will be eliminated, and there will be no pollution and no disaster." ”

Song Anning was carried across the brazier by her mother with a smile, and dipped the willow branch in water to remove the filth, and then followed them to the dining room.

After Shen Jiao received the news sent back by Song Helan, she began to prepare.

At this time, the sumptuous meal is served on the table, and the aroma is fragrant, and the smell makes people's appetite move.

Song Anning took a deep sniff and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the food at home is more fragrant." ”

One sentence made Shen Jiao and Song Hexing red-eyed at the same time.

Shen Jiao asked, "What is the situation over there in Jizhou?" Your father is busy, and we can't get out of the past, but fortunately, your eldest brother and second brother rushed over, and when they received your letter before, they only said that there was an accident, and you didn't say what the accident was, and now that he is back, he has to talk to us, so as not to worry about us. ”

Song Anning and the eldest brother and the second brother glanced at each other and did not tell the truth.

I just picked what I could say and told them.

As for going up the mountain to ransom people, so they were in distress, and they didn't say anything about nine deaths and one life.

Song Xingzhi and Song Helan also tacitly helped to cover up.

After hearing this, Song Hexing frowned.

"So, your mother-in-law was imprisoned entirely because she smuggled iron, and the Jiang family was implicated in this, and it has nothing to do with you?"

Song Anning said with a smile: "Of course, how can I have that ability, you don't know how much ability your daughter has, I really hate them for lying to me, but unfortunately I can't retaliate against them, and I can only ask for a letter of reconciliation, and then expose the evil things they have done, so that the world can see their faces clearly, as for the fall of the Jiang family, it is completely because they will kill themselves for many injustices, and it has nothing to do with their daughter." ”

Song Hexing nodded.

"It's okay, they are down, so that I can let out a bad breath."

The thought of his daughter being deceived in this way made him so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

Shen Jiao also said: "Don't think so much when you come back now, people, you have to look forward, the past should be bitten by a dog, although our Song family is a family of merchants, it can't be compared to those official eunuchs with a high status, but we have money, Ning Ning will live at home in the future, we can buy whatever you want, do whatever you like, wouldn't it be happier than those official women?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I can see it now, what Qingliu nobles, what official lintels, are not important to Ning Ning, if I meet a considerate and caring person in the future, no matter what his background is, as long as he is good to us Ning Ning, I will allow him to be my son-in-law."

said something that made Song Anning blush.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about."

Song Xingzhi and Song Helan also laughed.

Shen Jiao glared at them.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong? You too, you are not young, one by one to tell you kiss you and you will not go, the eldest only knows how to bury his head in business, the second child tinkers with your medicinal materials all day long, seeing that the good girl has been picked by others, you are not in a hurry, alas, I am angry......"

She pressed her chest, as if she was really angry.

Song Xingzhi and Song Helan hurriedly got up, pinched their shoulders, hammered their legs, and did their best to flatter, just begging their mother to let them go for the time being, allowing them to start their careers, and not to talk about their relatives first.

The family laughed and enjoyed themselves, and the whole dining room was filled with their cheerful laughter.

Capital.

In the bright palace, Jiang Hua knelt on the ground, knocked on the ground with his head, and prostrated respectfully on the ground.

Emperor Duanming sat on the top, holding a white jade chess piece in his hand, and was playing chess with Lin Bi, Marquis of Anyuan.

He said lightly: "According to what you said, this iron-clad matter is your righteous killing of relatives and personally exposing it?" ”

Jiang Hua said in a panic: "The grass people don't dare to talk nonsense, although the Qin family is the adoptive mother of the grass people, but it involves the righteousness of the family and the country, and the grass people know which is more important, so they don't dare to cover it." ”

Emperor Duanming looked at him and said with a faint smile: "But how did I hear the excerpt presented by Yan'er that he sent someone to follow him for a long time before he caught the appearance?" ”

Jiang Hua said: "Lord Pei is kind-hearted, and he is afraid that the grass people will tarnish their reputation because of the righteous act of killing their relatives, so he covers up for the grass people, and asks Your Majesty Haihan." ”

"I see."

Emperor Duanming squinted slightly, and he didn't know if he believed it, but he smiled at An Yuanhou and said, "You gave birth to a good son." ”

Marquis An Yuan hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully.

"It is Your Majesty's magnanimity that can spare the Jiang family and save Hua'er from being implicated, and the minister is grateful to Your Majesty."

The Emperor smiled.

Throwing the chess pieces into the chess box, he got up and walked over to take An Yuanhou's hand, and said as he walked out: "Okay, those hypocritical and polite words don't need to be said in front of me, we are both monarchs and ministers, and relatives, you have to call me cousin in terms of seniority, then your son is my nephew, how can you not be magnanimous to my nephew?" ”

said, beckoning back, "Lin Tian, you can come too." ”

Jiang Hua hurriedly got up and followed quickly.

The emperor took Lin Bi, Marquis of Anyuan, and Jiang Hua to the city tower outside.

He looked at the lights of the imperial city at night and asked, "Has your surname changed?" Got into the family tree, right? ”

Lin Bi was cautious, "Entered, although his biological mother has passed away, but An was very obedient to the minister when he was born, and now he is no longer good, the minister wants to avoid other brothers in the house from fighting, and wants to ask His Majesty to make a will, and set up a son as the son, and ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

"Not long after Lin Tian came back, he became the son of the world, I'm afraid your other sons won't be convinced."

An Yuanhou looked helpless.

"Of course I'm not convinced, but the position of the son of this world depends on itself, and it's not something that anyone can fight for if they're not convinced."

He paused and sighed: "Your Majesty, the younger brother has the courage to tell you the truth, and the younger brother also knows that Tian'er has just returned to the capital, and his foundation is unstable. ”
