Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 276, Eldest Brother Met the Grand Master
Many new daughters-in-law have been in the house for several years and still can't figure out the relatives and confidants of their in-laws. Yuanxiu has to grasp the rituals of the Mid-Autumn Festival as soon as possible, and he has the full power to preside over the autumn harvest.

In the process of sitting at the desk, I thought of two sisters Hui's favorite dishes, and told the kitchen to cook them. Naturally, Mama Luo handled them. Only Mama Luo knew what the sisters liked.

The dinner started, the princess and the Duke came happily, the father and son-in-law Weng also arrived on time, and the hosts Yun Zhan and Yuan Xiu were naturally also there, but the heroes celebrating tonight were missing.

"It's said on the street that autumn water has been falling these days. Sister Hui is waiting for big fish in the lotus pond in Yanyan's backyard. It is said that catching fish is a good time, and she doesn't care about coming back."

The host and guest laughed, and they settled down to eat and drink. During the dinner, the Duke said that Sister Hui was very smart, so he temporarily took Yuanxiu out of his family affairs.

In Yanyan's backyard, girls and boys were holding umbrellas, while Sister Hui and Jing An stood by the pool and looked down.

The former owner built the pool to be running water. There is a bridge near this street. I asked someone to watch the river. The surface of the dug water was at the same level as the river, so it must be lower than the road.

Usually, when fetching water for laundry, one has to go down, along the repaired stone steps to the edge of the water, and then fetch water for use.

When the autumn flood comes, the water jumps up, and when the fish jumps out from under the lotus leaves, Yuan Hui and Jing An guard the lotus pond without moving.

As the dark water rose up, Yuan Hui and Jing An cheered victoriously: "Okay." The rain slid down the small faces, washing these two extremely happy people.

Zaohua coaxed them: "I'm afraid I'll get sick if you shower again, go back to your room." He heard the sound of splashing in the water, and shouted to Yuanhui's boys: "There are fish, there are fish there!" He jumped into the water, picked up a big fish in threes and twos, Yuan Hui and Jing An's eyebrows brightened: "Big fish!"

The naughty master and the naughty boy made Zaohua not know whether it is better to be angry or laugh, she took the big fish, and without saying a word, she called to the boy: "Follow me to the kitchen to face the fire, I will give you Change into clean clothes, you, autumn water is so dangerous, what will you do if you get involved?"

She led the boy ahead, and Yuan Hui shouted from behind: "Fish balls!" Jing An was reminded: "Fried fish balls!"

Yanyan was afraid of getting her clothes wet, so she peeped her face from the window of her room to watch the excitement, laughing so hard, seeing Zaohua's face that she couldn't laugh or cry, she simply added to the confusion: "Slip the fish slices."

Zaohua was distracted, the fish in her hand was too big, and she tossed up and down in her hand, almost bringing her into a tree.

This fish was put into the soup pot as soon as it landed, and finally turned into fish head soup, fish slices, green vegetables, vermicelli, bamboo shoots, and bamboo shoots. It was too late to sell tofu. Eat up in one meal.

Yuan Hui stayed here for two days and went back to continue her leisurely and witty truant life with her husband, because she didn't have a mother to fight at any time, which was more beautiful than the new episode.

It was raining on the road, making it even more difficult for people to walk. In the rain, Song Xun put his hands on his forehead, trying to see the path ahead, except for the autumn rain and no sound or bird tracks. This made him difficult, muttering He muttered, "Is this the way?"

Qi Yue led the horse out from behind him, looked forward as well, and said with a high air: "No, it's nothing, I'll come back here again, and start on the road again."

He patted his chest: "You have to think about what official position I am? I am about to serve under the tent of Pingxi County King, and a thief happened to take it down. It is a small meeting gift for me to take office. Think again, go to the northwest The road is not easy to walk, so I don’t have a date for my appointment, and I can arrive at any time, so it’s okay to walk more.”

Another lean man came out from behind Qi Yue, this is Shi Jin, the nursing home hired by the Qi family, seeing Brother Yue has a future, Shi Jin was willing to follow him, Shi Jin said: "We are all anxious to take office, Mr. Song, please stop Look, there's me anyway, Brother Yue and I each have a knife, so it's fine."

Song Xun became even more nervous: "No, no, our new collection has finally won so many officials. On my shoulders are the thoughts of my ancestors of the Song family and the ancestors of the Qi family. peaceful,"

Putting a hand on his forehead and looking forward again, the rain was falling down his fingers, Qi Yue and Shi Jin were relatively helpless.

"Someone is there."

Qi Bo Qi Tao, who was traveling with him, shouted.

A few cars came by in the rain ahead, and Song Xun asked: "Fat Cai Fa Cai, do you dare to ask if there is a road ahead?"

"Daguandao, how can there be no road, easy to walk!" The vehicle crashed down, and the things on it could be seen to be heavy.

Song Xun was a little relieved: "Brother Yue, you can go on the road with Shi Huyuan. There are only two of you. Don't be greedy for coolness in the hotel. Passers-by should be careful."

He babbled a lot, and Qi Yue teased him: "Didn't you see it? The team just lied."

"There are only mud and water marks on the wheels. If he tells lies and walks on a bad road, the mud will stick to the wheels and make him unable to move." Song Xun was a little bit embarrassed: "Can the elders be for nothing? My eyes are sharper than yours. .”

Qi Yue and Shi Jin saluted and said goodbye, and the two rushed into the rain curtain. Song Xun greeted his younger brother Song Han, his nephew Song He, Song Shen, and Qi Bo and Qi Tao from the Qi family, and walked on another road. After clearing up the surrounding environment, Song Xun could see his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes sharp, not daring to be sloppy at all.

In contrast, Song Han and the others sat in the car laughing and enjoying the last childishness before growing up.

After walking for a few more days, the rain stopped. At the fork in the road, Song Xun untied his horse from the back of the car and sent Qi Bo Qi Tao away. Speaking of "Three Passes", Song Xun burst into tears, choked up and said: "Brother Han, your rule is here."

Tiredness hit the whole body, Song Xun also sat in the car, straightened Song Han's collar for a while, and tugged at the hem of his clothes for a while, until Song Han lost his temper: "How can I be neatly dressed in the car? What's the point of this style?"

Song Xun smiled back at him, and kept looking outside again: "Brother Han, the fields under your control are not bad."

"There are also several hills under your rule,"

"Brother Han, I passed by a few poor people just now, and they are still wearing thin clothes in this weather. From now on, it's your business, you have to treat them well."

Song Han looked at the roof of the car, and threw an ear to him. In fact, his heart was full of emotion, and because of the emotion, he was afraid that he would shed tears when he opened his mouth. Roof.

When he arrived at the yamen and reported his identity, the yamen servants greeted him and went in. Song Xun kept the restaurants he passed by in mind, gave money to the people he followed to buy food and drinks, treated the people in the yamen to a meal, and asked for hot water. He watched Song Hanjin with his own eyes. He hastily entered another bathtub, washed it out, took out a new set of clothes from the bag, and combed his hair again in front of the mirror. With red eyes, he took Song Han straight to the court.

No one is litigating, and there are only two brothers in the courtroom. Song Xun pressed Song Han: "You sit here."

He stepped back to the front of the case, stared at the "Mirror Hanging High" behind Song Han in a daze, knelt down on the ground respectfully, and said, "Brother Song Xun has seen the elder of the Song family."

Song Han rolled his eyes: "Brother, this kind of statement is unheard of, and you have studied for a few years."

Song Xun ignored him, kowtowed three times, tears became more and more unstoppable, stood up and wiped it with a handkerchief, crying and crying: "The first elder of the Song family, the ancestors knew that I was like this. Salute, he must agree, don't you believe it? You can see that we came here smoothly, aren't you a scholar and don't understand the ancestors?"

Song Han was weak and didn't know what to say, Song Xun said again: "Besides, I'm saluting on behalf of my father." Song Han wanted to jump up, but he was dying in this sentence, and he looked at his elder brother with a dying look.

Fortunately, Song Xun's following words returned to normal: "Father said, when you go to the court, remember to pay your respects on behalf of your father. It's not Brother Han, my son. What Dad asked you to worship is the land under the court. Be upright and upright, let them show their spirits and sages, and bless Brother Han to be a good official."

She curled her lips: "Do you think I'm going to salute you? What I worship is the official robe given to you by the court, the official position given to you by the court, and the majesty of this court."

Song Han's energy returned, and he said with a playful smile, "I should have said it earlier, I was so frightened that I went away, and I just found it now."

Song Xun asked him to be more serious, and then he looked at it carefully, with real joy on his face, but his eyes were not in a hurry, and tears rolled like broken threads.

Song Xun didn't stay long, and sent Song He and Song Chen to take up the post the next day. The local gentry came here after hearing the news and wanted to invite Mr. Song's eldest brother. Song Xun left early in the morning. On the official road, Song Xun said to Song He and Song Shen: "My father told me not to eat, please don't accept the gift, fortunately I avoided it, otherwise I would not be able to see my father when I go home. You are not allowed to eat, please accept the gift, think about Yun Shizi in Beijing, he is as powerful as the sky, he A hundred or so of us are entertained to live here, eating, drinking, and charcoal fire, do they accept gifts? Do they invite them to eat? He is such a humble person, we have to learn from his humility."

Song He Song Shen nodded in agreement.

Song Xun spared no effort to send his nephews to the post, and left the last car behind, so that they could use it if they went home in the future. He and the bodyguards rode horses and chose another shortcut to go straight to the canal.

The Grand Canal leads to Lanyuan City. The reason why Qi Yue didn't take a boat was that there was no one to see him off, and he had to bring horses with him when he went to the northwest. It is not easy to come across a big boat that can carry horses.

Xinji is located in the middle of the north and south, about a hundred miles away from the canal. The official positions of Song Han, Song He, Song Shen, and Qi Bo Qitao are all in the opposite direction of Xinji and the canal. If they go west and then south, they cannot sit. Boat.

Song Xun will not go the same way when he returns home now. The bodyguards will take him on the horse and send him to the boat. Song Xun also plans to go to the familiar market on the road, and he will save a few money by taking the boat alone. Money, the bodyguards can return faster than him on horseback alone, and the money on the way can also save the employer, and the food and drink on the way are the employer's.

Furthermore, those who have not ridden the road on horseback cannot withstand the pain of galloping day and night.

He Ning and Lvzhu's store in Beijing, the principal was also on Song Xun's heart. He Feng was still on his way back, and he didn't know that the principal shared by Lvzhu was 500 taels, let alone 7000. Well, the Song family didn't have 500 taels. After sending Song Han hexagram, and left some money for him, it is difficult to come up with [-] taels of cash now.
