Song Jin shouted an order and ordered Liu Sheng to go to the ancestral hall and invite a long whip. Everyone got up to persuade each other, and Song Jin threw a whip to the ground, and a crack appeared on the gold brick floor. Everyone was so shocked that they shut up. Old Lady Qin sat on the high seat and said nothing.

Song Jin used all his strength and whipped Song Yan his back, and a scar suddenly bloomed on the young man's solid and straight back. Blood soaked through his shirt and drenched his whip. While fighting, Song Jin asked, "Do you know your mistake?" ”

Song Yan's tone was flat: "Ah Mo knows that he is wrong. ”

With another more ruthless whip, Song Jin asked angrily: "I know I am wrong but I don't know how to cry?" You're still strong! ”

Song Yan looked down at his reflection on the gold brick floor, and was silent.

Old Mrs. Qin didn't mean to stop, and Song Jin continued to beat, scolding him for being disobedient and unfilial. As long as he can't get out of bed, he will naturally not be able to go to the criminal department, and he will not be able to toss any storms.

The terrible sound of whipping echoed in the Bixia Pavilion, and a few juniors were so frightened that they cried, but they were covered by the adults. The maidservant knelt on the ground. In addition to the whip, only the gasping sound of Song Jin when he was shouting and the continuous sound of questioning. The boy didn't exhale pain, and even the sound of his breathing was very shallow. Feng Ce stood aside, his fists clenched tightly, and he barely controlled the urge to pounce and snatch the whip from Hou Ye's hand.

It wasn't until Song Jin was tired of fighting, holding his waist to take the tea handed by Liu Sheng, and his throat made a swallowing sound of "coo-dong-goo-dong", that everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Blood trickled down the whip to the ground, and the young man kneeling in the center of the hall turned pale, and his eyebrows and eyes were dark, and his eyelashes were long. Old Lady Qin sat in a wide chair, looked at him, then at her son, and then at Wu Yangyang's children and grandchildren. What an enviable family, but now she has an unprecedented sense of exhaustion.

"Stop fighting. Little Amo, come to my grandmother. Old Lady Qin choked up, opened her arms towards Song Yan, and looked forward to the little him stumbling into her arms as she had done for a long time, hugging her neck and calling her grandmother.

The boy looked at her, motionless.

Old Mrs. Qin staggered out of her chair and leaned over to hug him, the young man was born tall, even if her kneeling posture at this time was already a little decadent, she still looked old and thin in front of him. She patted him on the back, his palms stained with a large pool of warm, sticky blood. She couldn't pick him up, so she could only rub the back of his head and let him put his chin on her shoulder. Her voice was soft: "Little Amo, do you know that you are like this, how distressed your grandmother is?" Grandmother and your father are all for your good, the criminal department is dirty and smelly, and the court situation is chaotic and messy, what are you mixed in? ”

No one should be with her, and the young man in her arms didn't even blink an eye, and his attitude was cold and hard. She seemed to be saying to herself: "We are all a family, how can it hurt you?" If you really like to handle cases, the Five Cities Terracotta Division can accumulate a lot of cases every month every year, you can handle it with the third uncle and the fourth uncle, okay? ”

The third master, Song Qing, and the fifth master, Song He, both stood up. The third lady Shen was a little unbearable, and her voice was small and abrupt: "Old lady, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come first......

Everyone didn't seem to hear it, only Song Qing looked at her warnly and motioned for her to keep quiet.

The second lady Fang Shi came from nowhere with a bowl of rose honey water, and said to Mrs. Qin: "Ah Mo is still young, mother, he is just a child who loves sweets." Come, coax him. ”

Old Mrs. Qin hurriedly and carefully took the honey water, held it in front of Song Yan, touched his cold cheeks and coaxed: "Come, Amo, today grandmother allows you to drink a bowl, after drinking, you have to listen to grandmother's words, don't get into trouble, do you know?" Come on, drink it. ”

Song Yan looked at the edge of the bowl that was stained by the blood between her fingers, and her eyes turned black for a while. Old Madam Qin took his hand and asked him to take the bowl. Song Yan took it, took the blood on the edge of the bowl and drank the honey water, his mouth full of fishy sweetness.

Liu Zheng had some insomnia last night, and got up earlier than usual today, and when Wang Chucui went downstairs, she was already scraping the slurry with a scraper. Scraping is a meticulous job, Liu Zheng is immersed in it, but he is thinking about Mr. Luo's words in his heart.

"Your father is the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and he has always had a bad relationship with the first assistant. I heard that the saint's health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it's just a matter of the past two years...... The situation will change, and the fight between them will be even more fierce, and anything may be caught by the other party to play on the topic. So Zhengzheng, you may also be a variable in this. In order to be safe, let's put those thoughts aside first, and then recognize each other first. ”

"Before, you were far away in Suzhou Mansion, we just wanted to help you, but now that you are in the capital, it's not easy to understand him and the entire Zhang family? If there is a banquet after a while, you will attend as the daughter of my friend, and I will introduce you to Mrs. Gu and a few Miss Zhang. Anyway, sooner or later, you'll be a family. ”

……

Listening to the sound of the slurry water flowing into the tank drop by drop, Liu Zheng rubbed his somewhat sore waist. She looked at Wang Chucui, who was kneading dough and kneading rice cakes, preparing to cook a few more things to eat and entertain distinguished guests. If she and the people of the Zhang family are a family, what about grandma? She was used to making and selling tofu with her grandmother, and if one day she was to be separated from her grandmother and live in the deep gate compound, she was sure that she would not be happy. This pro is by no means indispensable.

He is her own father, what about the blood connection, it is not him who has been pregnant with her for ten months, and it is not he who fed her with a mouthful of milk. She should be firm in her thoughts, and if her mother is wronged, she must reclaim it; If the mother has a vendetta, she must avenge her. Although sometimes she did wonder what kind of person her father was, that didn't stop her from hating him.

It was almost dawn, the tofu brain and all kinds of dim sum breakfast were ready, and Liu Zheng opened the curtain and began to entertain the guests.

Several women who always like to gather in front of the Chen family to point fingers and gossip at the Liu family did not appear today, and Chen's sister-in-law did not come forward to greet the business, only Chen Dalang hurriedly took buns and bean juice for the guests in front of the shop, and there were always mistakes, and from time to time a guest would stand up and scold him for how to make the meat filling into a pickle filling, Chen Dalang made amends again and again, and the busier he was, the more chaotic he became.

Wang Chucui was looking at the situation on the other side, when he heard two children calling vividly: "Granny Wang, Sister Liu!" ”

When she looked back, it was Xiaohu who came with her sister Tuan Tuan, and the two of them each held a big bowl of Yangchun noodles in their hands. Wang Chucui was startled, and quickly put down the rag in his hand, and put aside the bowl in their hands: "Quickly reach out and show grandma, is it hot?" ”

"No, no! Mother-in-law, this is what our mother asked us to send to you and your sister to eat, and my mother also asked you to go to our house to sit and talk when you are free, and you will go when you are done! ”

Liu Zheng heard the movement behind him, leaned over to take a look, and smiled at the two children. She knew that Sister-in-law Cai had always had no good impression of her, Xiaohu was a leather boy, and no one could pull it if she wanted to come over to play, but boys, it didn't matter. Tuan Tuan is a little girl, and they are afraid that she will cause a bad reputation if she makes trouble at a young age, so they never let her touch the door of the Liu family. Today, I was willing to let two children bring them noodles to eat...... The prestige of the officials is really powerful, and a few words changed the attitude of the neighbors towards her. She can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger once.

Wang Chucui likes children, even if adults are annoying, they will not bother with children because of this, not only promised to go to their house when the things are sold out, but also wrapped a large portion of all the snacks and snacks for them to take away.

Liu Zheng and Wang Chucui coincidentally cast their eyes to the mouth of the alley. Seeing that no carriage was coming, Wang Chucui continued to be busy, but Liu Zheng vaguely felt strange. From what she had observed, they would arrive early every day and wait. Was something delayed, or was it just polite in the first place?

Someone at the stall smiled and asked, "Liu Niangzi, who are you waiting for?" ”

"Are you waiting for those two nobles?"

"I live in Chongming and I've heard about it! It is the prince of the Dingguo Mansion! Eh, it's not easy! ”

"Hey, you came here from Chongming for breakfast?"

"Look at the excitement."

……

"What did they tell you yesterday?" Someone couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Zheng didn't answer, Wang Chucui put the things on their table, and couldn't hide a smile and said fiercely: "Eat and drink quickly, don't be nosy!" ”

A head with a square scarf poked out of the open window on the second floor. Chen Ru observed for a while, then walked downstairs to Liu Zheng with his subordinates, and asked with a smile: "Did Liu Niangzi and that noble person agree to meet today?" cough, I don't know, is there a lack of staff around that son? ”

"Chen Ru! You give me back! Sister-in-law Chen glanced at Liu Zheng and Wang Chucui hatefully on the second floor, but she didn't dare to say a word, so she could only sprinkle all her anger on her son, "What are you, do you think that Gaozhi can be climbed if you want to?" Don't look in the mirror to see what kind of background you are! Xiucai is one, and people who write for others are not necessarily willing to spend money to buy it, and they are in a hurry to send it, which is really shameful. ”

Seeing that Wang Chucui's face had changed, Sister-in-law Chen felt much more comfortable, and the more she scolded, the more proud she became, and continued to grab Chen Ru and scold: "Why don't you wait for someone to take you away, I haven't seen anything good in my son's house, can I remember you?" Just remember, just want to be fresh for a while, don't break the mat and throw you out, there is no place to cry. Alright, get back to me and keep reading! ”

Chen Ru was so angry that his eyes were red and his neck was thick, he was a showman, but he was scolded like this by his mother on the street, isn't she usually the most precious to him?

However, the idlers around who were extremely silent today were all interested in being scolded by Sister-in-law Chen, and they also caught him pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Chen Ru covered his face and ran away.

Wang Chucui was so angry that her hands trembled, and Liu Zheng helped her into the house to rest. Wang Chucui snorted: "Wait for the nobles to come, see what I tell them!" ”

Liu Zheng continued to sell tofu brains, and the second bucket was about to bottom, and there was no movement at the mouth of the alley. They probably won't be here today.
