811, Homecoming (2 more)
The next morning, Erlang's wife went to Song Qi's Cuihuaxuan. She originally planned to persuade her, but was turned away. Song Qi bolted her from the inside and locked herself in the house and saw no one.
Erlang's wife had to go back to her yard in disappointment.
...
A few days later, Song Wei, Song Erlang and Song Yuanbao filed a leave of absence one after another.
Wen Wan has arranged a convoy to pick up goods. It is rare to officially return home after so many years when she has been in Beijing. She has bought a lot of things and brought them back to her clan members.
Except for Song Qi, the little master, everyone else came back.
Song Erlang and his wife from the second wife took Song Duobao with them.
Song Wei and his wife from the third house, Song Yuanbao and two young men, Jinbao and Qibao, plus Song Pozi and Song Dad.
In addition, there were more than 30 maids, servants and mothers who were caring along the way, and the convoy was in a vast convoy, attracting many people to watch on the day they left the city.
The journey to Ningzhou was too far, and Song Yuanbao was not easy to ride a horse, so he accompanied Ye Ling on a carriage.
Inside the larger and more gorgeous carriage in front is Song Wei and his wife and Jin Bao Qibao.
Although Song Wei has been busy these days, he has heard about Song Qi. He asked Wen Wan: "What about Qi Qi?"
Wen Wan was feeding Qibao to eat soft cakes, and responded to her words: "I'm afraid that she will do something, so I arranged for Jin's mother to guard it."
Jin's mother was a person around Zhao Xunyin, but later she was sent to Wenwan to serve her through Song Wei. There are some ways to deal with Song Qi's personality.
Song Wei said: "It is surprising that the Xie family will suddenly ask for a marriage."
"Each carrots and vegetables have their own preferences!"
Wenwan planned to stay out of the matter with Song Qi and the Xie family, so she just occasionally asked the girls in the yard to inquire about the situation and prevent Song Qi from doing anything that damages the reputation of the Song family. On the contrary, she never asked Erlang's wife.
When he went out, Erlang's wife took the initiative to come to her and smiled, saying that she was already persuading her. The girl was still young and ignorant, so she would just be calm and calm for a few days.
He is gentle but smiles without saying a word and does not want to express any opinions.
The bigger the family and the more complex the population, the harder it is to take charge of the family. Song Wei also knew Wen Wan's difficulties and said, "If it is really done in the end, let the second wife handle the marriage by themselves, Wanwan doesn't need to worry too much."
This is what Wen Wan has always been worried about. Even if she is out of trouble, she will still be the mistress of the family. If the marriage is done, she will have to handle it in the end. At that time, she will not want to be implicated, and she will also be implicated. Now that she has this sentence from her husband, her mother-in-law will definitely not say anything else, and she will be much more at ease.
There were waves of ironing in my heart, and gentle smiled: "It's still my husband who knows he loves me."
Song Wei's lips curled slightly, "You are the only one in the backyard, who do you care if you don't?"
Although the Song family returned home with a large number of masters and servants, because Song Wei’s status is precious, he lived in the official post along the way, so he no longer had to spend money to book an inn.
The emperor's teacher is like a true Buddha. When he goes to the official post, he is called a noble person. Therefore, the post station officials carefully flattered him and arranged each place properly, for fear that he would lose his job even if he would dislike him.
When we arrived in Ningzhou, it was already at the end of July, and the Song family's house here had been shaken by the ground.
Before leaving, Wen Wan sent a message to Wen's father, asking him to help find a spacious house in the county town and rent it first. Otherwise, the two families would come back with their families and live there, and the residence would be a big problem. Inns are everywhere, but they are not only staying for a day or two, and living for a long time is not cost-effective.
Wen's father has accumulated some connections in business over the years. He found a vacant second-entry courtyard after he inquired. Because the owner of the house was familiar with him, he also heard that he was the Emperor Master who returned to his hometown to visit relatives, so he was willing to charge half a penny. He said that he would live there casually and live there for as long as he could. He also asked if there was a shortage of people, and he would make arrangements immediately if there was a shortage of people.
When Song Wei returned to his hometown, he had reported all the way down, so before others arrived, officials at all levels had already received the news. Naturally, everyone wanted to invite him to have a meal, drink, and win over his relationship. However, Song Wei was busy with Beijing, and the holiday he had taken was tense. In addition, his status was too high, so many people were waiting for him to hold on to him.
In order to avoid suspicion, Song Wei did not answer anyone's invitation.
In addition to the arrival of Pingjiang County, the county magistrate brought the officials from the yamen respectfully to welcome him to the government office. Song Wei directly refused, saying that this time he was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he did not do official duties and was not suitable for long-term living in the official office and the yamen.
The county magistrate had to laugh with him and returned with disappointment.
The Wen family is in the county town, and the news comes quickly.
When he learned that the couple had arrived, Wen's father gave the work in the shop to the long-term workers. After changing his clothes, he hurried to greet him.
As soon as Song Wei and his party arrived at the intersection, they saw Wen’s father trot over.
Wenwan saw his hunched figure, and her eyes turned red before she could speak, "Dad..."
When Wen's father heard the voice, he was stunned. Then he saw the people in front of him clearly and said happily: "Sanlang, Wanniang, are you back?"
Wenwan nodded, unable to speak.
Wen's father saw that there were many people, and in addition to the people, he seemed to have also brought a convoy with many things on it.
"The house has been found. The second one has a downtown room and a backpacking room. It's enough for you to live in. It's not far from here. Let's go there first and let the servants place the things."
Wen Wan glanced at Song Wei, and Song Wei nodded, "Just follow my father-in-law, go to the house first, otherwise it would be unreasonable to have so many people stuck in the street."
So the coachmen turned their heads and drove towards the house that Wen's father was looking for.
Wen's father didn't expect that Mr. Song and Mrs. Song also came back. After getting on their carriage, he was very happy. "Brother Song, I haven't seen each other for several years. Are you still strong in your body?"
Dad Song replied with a smile: "The old bones are idle, they are not cold or hot, and they are not as good as those in the countryside."
Wen's father joked: "You have enjoyed a lot of blessings. When you really come back to do farm work, you will be yelling about being tired."
Dad Song sighed, "I really want to come back, but Sanlang doesn't let him go. That kid is busy every day now. If I hadn't been talking to him all day long, he might not have been able to come back today."
"It's a promising! Sanlang is really promising." Wen's father looked pleased, "This is the blessing of your Song family. If you have good fortune, you can enjoy it. At our age, you live one day or one day. Who knows when that day will come? Sanlang is a filial child. He also thinks that the two elders worked hard to support him in school a few years ago, and now he repays his kindness."
After pausing, Wen's father thought of something, "That was Yuanbao just now? I saw a girl standing beside him. Who is that person?"
"That's his wife, Ye." Mrs. Song continued, "Yuanbao got married at the end of April this year. He had planned to come back immediately after he got married. Later, the first emperor and the queen went there one after another, and had to guard the country's mourning, so it took more than two months. I have only arrived in Ningzhou today."
Wen's father suddenly realized.
Wen Wan wrote a letter to tell him about Song Yuanbao's marriage, but Yuanbao has been in Beijing for many years, not only has he grown tall and has white skin, but his facial features have become much more delicate and mature. When he saw him at first sight, Wen's father almost couldn't recognize him.
Thinking of Yuanbao High School Top Scholar, Wen's father sighed again, "You gave Yuanbao to Sanlang to raise, but you really chose the right person."
Otherwise, if I handed over to the second house, I might have become a mess now.
Mrs. Song likes to listen to good-sounding words, but she doesn't want to be arrogant. She only said in a pertinent manner: "Sanlang is steady and he has him to raise Yuanbao, so the old man and I don't have to worry about it."
After the carriage arrived at the house, Wenwan asked Linglong to call the servants to move the things in. She casually glanced at the structure of the courtyard and divided the residence. Song Pozi and Song Dad lived in the main house in the north room, the third house lived in the east room, the second house lived in the west room, and the rest were arranged in the downward room and the back room.
The villagers began to move things and clean up the house according to gentle divisions.
At this moment, the masters all went to the north hall to talk.
Wen Wan had no time before, but now she asked Qi Bao and Jin Bao to come over and said to the brother and sister: "This is grandpa."
Grandpa, isn’t it grandfather?
Jin Bao was a little confused. He didn't understand when he had another grandfather, but he still shouted softly, "Hello grandpa!"
Qi Bao didn't know how to shout, but just looked at Wen's father and smiled so sweetly that it was particularly crisp.
Wen's father looked at the two little guys and burst into tears. He said three good things in a row, "I'll get settled later, go to my grandfather's house and make delicious food for you."
At this time, Duobao, who was standing beside him, stood up and said, "I want to eat a lot of delicious food, too."
Father Wen looked at the little guy, "Is this, Duobao?"
When I went to Beijing, the little guy was still in his infancy. After the earth was shaking, there was a blizzard, and his face was so cold that it was purple. Half of his life was lost. Unexpectedly, he grew so big in the blink of an eye.
Erlang's wife said: "Thanks to Uncle Wen's second son back then, otherwise our family would not be as good as it is now."
Wen's father thought that they had a child at that time, but they were not very obedient. He ran out in anger during the snowstorm, which made everyone frightened, so he asked, "Where is Erya? Why didn't you see her?"
...
Song Qi, named by Wen's father, took advantage of the holiday of Hongwen Pavilion to go to the Liang family and is crying in Song Jiao's room.
Song Jiao was erecting her eight-month-old belly and was about to be about to give birth. When Song Qi cried, she felt a little upset.
Song Qi said: "Sister, please help me. I don't want to marry Xie Feng, and I don't want to be a daughter-in-law for the Xie family."
Song Jiao was also helpless, "Since it was decided by the old lady, how can I help you?"
Song Qi wiped his tears, "You are pregnant, now everyone has to treat you as a treasure. When they come back from Ningzhou, you go and ask for a love affair for me. The old lady will definitely give you face for the sake of the fetus in your womb."
