New widow

Tomorrow is the day of Song An's funeral, so the Duke's mansion is naturally very busy. Su Qiao got up early, went to the mourning hall, burned paper incense, and the monks were chanting sutras. These forty days were very long for Su Qiao. Fortunately, all this is coming to an end.

"Madam, the eldest master and the others are here." Madam Huang walked in to report. Suqiao inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner and did not look back.

Fifth Uncle Song and Mr. Song walked in together, and according to etiquette, they went to pay their respects in front of the coffin. Su Qiao waited for the two of them to bow before saying to Uncle Song Wu, "Where is the child I want?"

"Third nephew, we promise you this, but we have to ask them to send the child over." Uncle Song was still trying to save his face at this moment, Su Qiao smiled, this smile was full of ridicule in Uncle Song's eyes, But Uncle Song didn't dare to say anything too extreme.

No matter what, you have to deal with today and tomorrow, have a good funeral, and don't make any trouble, that's the best thing.

Song An's funeral naturally attracted many people. Uncle Song and Uncle Song could not sit down for long before guests began to arrive one after another. Master Song naturally had to go out to greet the guests.

The guests came to express condolences in front of the soul and then went aside. Su Qiao was sitting in the curtain. Mrs. Song Wu looked at Su Qiao's expression and whispered, "What if they don't send the child?"

"They will definitely send their children over." Su Qiao's calm voice made Mrs. Song Wu's restless heart calm down. No matter how the British government falls, it is still a matter of honor. Just like the Yongning Houfu in the capital, not many people know about it, but the Chu family can still use the name of the Houfu in the capital after they leave the capital.

It's tyrannical outside.

Mrs. Song Wu thought about this clearly and sighed softly. Madam Huang walked in: "Madam, the uncle of the Wu family is here."

Song An married three people in total, and the third wife's natal family was just a small businessman. Although they also came when Song An died, they did not dare to call themselves uncle's family. They came to worship, but they just wanted to know After receiving a positive answer as to whether the British government would protect them, they left honestly.

The Chu family has already come to make trouble. The Wu family at this time is the natal family of Song An's second wife. The Wu family has been working as an official away from home all year round. Why did they suddenly appear now?

Mrs. Song Wu was also a little worried and whispered to Su Qiao: "I remember that the uncle and wife of the Wu family are a virtuous person, but I haven't seen her in these years. What if she is like the Chu family?"

"It's okay." Su Qiao saw that Mrs. Huang was worried on her face. It seemed that the Chu family's visit really scared Mrs. Huang.

"Who is here?" Suqiao asked Madam Huang. Madam Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then she said: "It's my uncle who is here, but his wife is not here."

"Then let's ask the eldest master to invite him in." Su Qiao only thought for a moment before making a decision. Madam Huang should leave.

Mrs. Song Wu sighed softly: "At this moment, I don't even know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy."

Good guys, bad guys? There was a mocking smile on Suqiao's lips, it didn't matter, it all depended on how to deal with it.

When Mr. Song heard that Mr. Wu was coming, he immediately became happy. The Wu family was different from the Chu family. Although the Wu family was also a distinguished ancestor, as early as Mr. Wu's father's generation, he had passed the imperial examination.

official. If Song An's mother and Mr. Wu's mother were not cousins, Song An might not be able to marry Mrs. Wu.

If the Chu family can't do it, then the Wu family can be used to suppress Suqiao. Therefore, when Mr. Song saw Mr. Wu, he saluted repeatedly: "Brother Wu, I haven't seen him for many years."

"I'm just running around outside. I can't compare to Brother Song, who lives in the capital and lives a high life. He looks much younger than me." Mr. Wu and Mr. Song are about the same age, and they are very familiar with each other. At this time, Mr. Wu also Just said with a smile.

"When you come back this time, do you think you are going to be promoted again?" Mr. Song asked with a smile after greetings. Mr. Wu sighed: "When I returned to Beijing this time, I originally planned to get my daughter married and then go to the ministry for a walk. , who knew that as soon as I entered Beijing, I heard the news that my brother-in-law was dead. I was startled. I originally thought of coming to express my condolences right away, but I didn’t know that before I even got to the door of my house, an order was sent to me to enter the palace, which delayed me for a long time. "

"This is a blessing that many people can't hope for." Mr. Song's words made Mr. Wu smile a little complacently: "It's just that I do things properly. If I do anything else, I'm not as good as you."

"Where, where." Mr. Song said, "You are here at the right time. Our clan has chosen an heir and will send it to you later so you can meet your nephew."

"Speaking of which, I heard that my brother-in-law has a daughter who was originally living outside the country. She brought her back a few days ago. My wife also said that when all these things are over, she will take her over and live with her at home for a few days to avoid future troubles. I don’t even know my cousins ​​in Beijing.” Mr. Wu’s words made Mr. Song not sure how to answer. After a while, Mr. Song

The elder smiled and said, "It's great that my uncle and wife still have such a heart."

When they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the mourning hall. When Mr. Wu saw the coffin, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and cried a few more times. Naturally, Mr. Song also wanted to offer some words of advice. After the persuasion was over, Mr. Wu said: "I heard that my brother-in-law has bought a new room, please come out and see me."

Mr. Wu is his uncle, and it is common for him to fill up a house to see his uncle, the front room's uncle. Su Qiao heard this in the tent, so she held Mrs. Huang's hand and came out. She thanked Mr. Wu first, and then They met each other.

When Mr. Song saw that Mr. Wu was so kind to Su Qiao, as if he really regarded Su Qiao as his younger sister, Mr. Song couldn't help but feel anxious. Why didn't Mr. Wu take this house filling as seriously as Mr. Chu San did? Could it be that the first wife’s natal family and the step-wife’s natal family are different?

"Third brother and sister, this child is already here. Why don't we let this child meet his uncle." When Master Song was in a hurry, he saw Uncle Song walking in with a child in his arms. Master Song hurriedly said to Su Qiao.

Su Qiao knew that Mr. Song wanted to use Mr. Wu to suppress her. If there was anything bad about the heir, Mr. Song still had a lot to say, so Su Qiao said softly: "This is the heir, please uncle." Master, take a look."

"Why did you choose such a young child?" Mr. Wu frowned and asked when he saw an infant child. Su Qiao already smiled: "This is my idea, pick a smaller one, keep it by my side, and be intimate with me in the future."

"This is a good idea." Mr. Wu only said this. When he saw Mr. Wu

He didn't say anything else. Mr. Song became more and more disappointed. Su Qiao already said: "Since the heir has already met his uncle, it is time for the girl to come out and meet his uncle."
