reborn widow

Chapter 29

In the middle of the night, the entire Qingpu County was shrouded in darkness, and the sound of clappers could be heard faintly in the distance. However, in the Song Mansion compound in Fugui Lane, Qingpu County, although the lights in most of the houses had been extinguished, the lights were still on. There were a few places with lights on.

Although Li Song got a topographic map of the Song Mansion, he still couldn't see it clearly in the dark. He only thought that if the servants had to get up early the next morning to do things, the place with the lights on was most likely the owner's residence. , why not see what Song Ziqiao is doing first.

Li Song cautiously sneaked along the base of the wall, and also paid attention to avoiding the dogs raised in the house, and came to a yard with lights on. He hid behind a clump of flowers and trees, and heard the creaking sound of the bed board from the house. , and occasionally groaning, Li Song is someone who has been there, of course he knows what's going on, he can't help but feel hot all over, he misses his wife a little...

After tossing around in the room for a while, the door was pulled open with a "squeak", followed by the sound of a servant girl busy pouring water, and at the same time, a charming woman said: "Second Master, last time you carried a bottle of water in your arms. That golden hairpin is so beautiful..."

"Why? Do you like it? I'll buy it for you next time. Go back quickly, so that the turtle in your family won't make trouble again. You go back and tell him, and if you say anything bad from him, I'll make him become Eunuch."

As soon as Li Song heard Song Zihe's words, he immediately understood what was going on, so he spat angrily, and muttered in an inaudible voice: "It's really a nest of snakes and rats! There are brothers like brothers... "

After a while, the woman came out of the house, and after a while, she walked out of the courtyard door. The footsteps gradually faded away, and the surroundings gradually became quiet. Li Song walked out of the flowers without hesitation. He quickly crossed a corner and found this little girl. The courtyard was also lit, so he approached on tiptoe. Before he got to the window, he smelled a sandalwood fragrance. It was obvious that someone was burning incense. Not long after, he heard a woman sobbing, an old voice Intermittently said: "Princess, this servant has failed your entrustment... The little prince is obsessed with women all day long..."

Li Song couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, who is the princess?Who is the little prince?He moistened his fingers with saliva, lightly poked a hole in the window paper and looked in. There was actually a huge Buddha statue in the room. He thought about it, and there was indeed such a Buddha statue on the map of the Song Mansion he got. Don, it’s just the person who spoke just now!
Li Song searched for a long time before he found an old woman kneeling on a futon on the ground. After a long while, the old woman didn't move. Just when Li Song wanted to leave, the old woman said again: "Master clearly has no good intentions." , but the little prince didn't know it, and the servant couldn't speak. If it wasn't for the servant who raised him, maybe he would have driven the servant away... Woooo... It was the servant who was sorry for the princess, and didn't teach the little prince well... I know that time is running out, but how can a servant have the face to meet you in the ground? If the old man has children in the future, the life of the young prince may be..."

Li Song thought for a long time, but he didn't know who this little prince was. The uncle she was talking about should be Song Ziqiao, right?There are only two brothers in the Song family... Li Song saw that the old woman seemed to have fallen asleep sitting up. He recalled the location of the study in the Song Mansion, which seemed to be behind this Buddhist hall.

Li Song decided to go to the study first. In the night, it was pitch black everywhere. He walked around the Buddhist hall without making a sound. It is serious to send the treasure map in. When the time comes, I will bring someone to search it. Even if Song Ziqiao has a hundred mouths, he will not be able to tell...

Who knew that Li Song hadn't waited for the study, and the lights had already been turned on in the study, Li Song couldn't help being surprised, what did Song Ziqiao come to the study so late?He walked lightly and quickly came to the window of the study, and heard Song Ziqiao say: "Father, why are you back? What if someone bumps into you..."

Li Song was taken aback. Didn't Song Ziqiao's father die long ago?Why is there another father?He didn't dare to pierce the paper on the window, and just listened attentively. A strange voice sighed and said, "It's been so many years, do you think that even if I walk on the street openly, anyone will know me?"

Song Ziqiao was silent for a while, and for a long time Li Song only heard the sound of drinking tea, and when he was getting impatient, he heard Song Ziqiao ask: "Daddy came back this time, what's the matter? Is it because of a lack of money?" ?"

"Hmph! Father didn't entrust this family business to you with the intention of ruining you one day. As soon as I returned to Qingpu County, I heard that you have a bad reputation. You are unkind to the rich, and you are a disaster for the village..."

"Father, who do you listen to nonsense? Nothing at all!"

Listening to this conversation, Li Song had already roughly understood what was going on. At this moment, he was not only surprised but also surprised. Why did Song Ziqiao's father pretend to die and hide his name?Li Song only felt that this matter was indescribably absurd.

"You've grown up, dad can't control you anymore! But dad promised the patriarch to raise Xin Wang's young son and teach him to be an adult. Dad swore. Look at your brother now... this is all the result of your connivance. , don’t think I don’t know, you are flattering me! You must know that the reason why our family is today is because of the money left by the king of Xin. , if one day someone who believes in the king is found, how will you explain it?"

After hearing this passage, Li Song suddenly realized that Song Zihe was the youngest son of Prince Xin!

But I heard Song Ziqiao sneer, "Father, why are you still so ignorant of current affairs? Xin Wang, he didn't know where he died a long time ago! Otherwise, he would have found him long ago! What are you afraid of him? , I wish he could die now! You should know what will happen to our family if his identity is exposed!"

"You...how could you be exposed? There is only a dumb nanny by his side, who would know his background?"

"Yes, since father is not afraid, why do you cheat death? You left us orphans and widows at home to worry about fear, and you found a concubine outside to enjoy yourself? When you come back, you want money, take it back to raise your cheap son, and then It is not the one who accused me, what have you done all these years? What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"

As soon as Song Ziqiao said the words with grief and indignation, his father suddenly stood up from the chair, pointed at Song Ziqiao's nose, "You...you unfilial son..." Before finishing a sentence, he suddenly fell down with a "gudong" He even overturned the chair he was just sitting on, and both Song Ziqiao inside and Li Song outside were startled.

Song Ziqiao hurriedly shouted: "Dad, Dad! What's the matter with you?" He shouted for a long time without any movement, then stretched out his hand and pushed, "Dad, get up quickly, don't scare me, I will give you whatever you want..." He yelled for a while, but his father still didn't move. Song Ziqiao really panicked this time, what should we do?Did just one sentence make daddy mad?
Song Ziqiao was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do, not to mention it was night, even if it was daytime, he would not dare to invite the doctor, he just felt distraught at the moment.

Li Song gently poked open the window paper, and saw Song Ziqiao's face was pale, he turned around on the ground, then squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch his father's nose, this time his face was even worse, his father was not angry up!Song Ziqiao lost his soul and sat down on the ground...

Li Song had thought everything through now. His father who wanted to come to Song Ziqiao wanted to make a fortune, but he was also afraid of getting involved... Li Song touched the treasure map in his bosom, and even without it, the Song family would be a big sin!But having it is even safer!
When Song Ziqiao came to his senses, he hurried to find someone and ran to dig a hole in the open space behind the house. Li Song took the opportunity to sneak into the study room. The candles here had not been extinguished yet, and Song Ziqiao's father was lying on the cold ground. , Li Songyi is bold and bold, boasting that his corpse came to the bookshelf, turned out a book in a corner, and stuffed the pictures he brought into it...

When Li Song watched Song Ziqiao bury his father with his own hands, raindrops fell from the sky. Li Song hurried home, halfway there, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and big raindrops fell. There was a strong earthy smell.

When Li Song returned home, the clothes on his body were completely soaked. He muttered while changing his clothes. Song Ziqiao's luck was good or bad. In his father's place, he shouldn't be able to see anything, hehe, but he never imagined that everything he did would be seen by him!

Li Song felt that he was very lucky to go this trip, and looked at the golden hairpin he took out from his wet clothes. The words "Qingqingzijin" on it had become "For Zhenzhen." Of course, the word "Ziqiao" remains the same, but he intends to give this thing to Shang Shi, Wang Zhenzhen, it depends on how you explain it when the time comes...

There were too many things that happened today, Li Song couldn't sleep for a while, he was playing with this golden hairpin in his hand, he couldn't help but think of Gui Qingqing, is she sleeping well now?Ever think about yourself?It seems that women like this thing, and they should buy one for Qingqing when they have time...

Gui Qingqing woke up the next morning and sneezed a few times. Chen Lan was startled, "Sister Qing, are you okay? Do you want to find a doctor?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm fine, what do you want me to do with the doctor?"

"That's why brother-in-law is talking about you at home! By the way, sister Qing, let's go out to play today? My cousin opened a teahouse a while ago, and I haven't visited it yet!"

"Okay, but will the old lady let you go out?"

"It's okay, my cousin's teahouse is only for women to drink tea."

The two of them came to the old lady's room while they were talking. The old lady had already washed up. The two rushed to greet the old lady. The old lady hurriedly pulled Gui Qingqing to sit beside her, and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?" ?”

"fine……"

"Although I have bad eyesight, I can see that you have dark eye sockets."

Gui Qingqing smiled awkwardly, "I have a problem with choosing seats, and it rained heavily in the middle of the night..."

"Is it really for this? If it's because of the fear of the Song family, there's no need for it. I've already forced your uncle to pass the message to Qingpu County. Don't spare him."

Gui Qingqing didn't dare to pin all her hopes on the Qin family, all she needed was this opportunity, as long as the magistrate of Qin gave a message to Ma County Magistrate, Gui Qingqing was very happy, and immediately thanked the old lady, the old lady He smiled and said, "Don't worry now? Let's have fun in Qingzhou, and tell me directly if you encounter any difficulties."

Gui Qingqing nodded repeatedly, while Chen Lan pulled the old lady's arm and said, "Grandma, you won't love me when Sister Qing is here."

The old lady pointed at her forehead and cursed with a smile. Chen Lan took the opportunity to propose going to the teahouse to play. At this time, Mrs. Lin also brought her two daughter-in-laws, Mrs. Mai and Mrs. Wu, to greet the old lady. Everyone greeted each other. Okay, the old lady smiled at Mai Shi: "Your cousins ​​are here, you can take them out for a stroll today, and let Ziyu and Zijin go with them, they are both sisters, and you need to get closer in the future."

Mrs. Mai hurriedly smiled and agreed. After breakfast, Chen Lan was about to leave. Gui Qingqing said with a smile: "It's too early to go out at this time, right? Besides, my cousin must be busy with housework and children." We need to settle down, why don't we wait a bit."

Madam Mai was grateful for Gui Qingqing's thoughtfulness, she smiled and said to Chen Lan: "My good sister, you are just impatient, you must let me change clothes?"

"Okay, let's leave in half an hour!" Chen Lan made a final decision.

Gui Qingqing was free, so she hurried back to the house and wrote a letter to Li Song, telling him that everything was going well here, and she just happened to be on the street so she could post the letter by the way. She had just finished the envelope when Chen Lan ran in quickly "Sister Qing, come quickly."

"What are you doing?"

Gui Qingqing was dragged to the flower hall by Chen Lan, and she saw Mrs. Lin looking at the set of clothes held by the maidservant next to her. Seeing Gui Qingqing coming in, she hurriedly said: "Qingqing, this is what the embroiderer in the mansion specially chased you away last night." The clothes that come out, come and try to see if they fit."

Gui Qingqing was surprised, "Madam, how dare you bother you like this, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be so polite, put on and try."

Gui Qingqing doesn't really like this kind of gorgeous clothes now, but the master made them specially for her, she can't help but know what's good, besides, the old lady is old, and the wife will be the hostess of the Qin residence in the future, Gui Qingqing has long since Knowing that she must be pleasing, she can't sweep her face at this moment.

Gui Qingqing put on new clothes, and everyone praised her beauty, Lin's face was full of admiration, "Qingqing looks so good in this outfit, I can't blame the old lady for liking you, this whole body looks like the old lady's granddaughter Dear, Qingqing, I was discussing with the master last night, why don't you be my adopted daughter?"

Gui Qingqing was stunned for a moment, to be her adopted daughter?She looked at the old lady. Seeing that Gui Qingqing had changed into this outfit now, the old lady felt that she looked more like a daughter, so she began to wipe her tears again. She noticed that Gui Qingqing was looking at her, and she couldn't help laughing: "Hurry up and agree." Yes! Don't you like being my granddaughter?"
