New widow

This small acapella group, including teachers, only has eight members, and is very famous in the capital. There are also people who specially invite this small group to sing a cappella when there is a banquet.

Since Song An's death, these eight people have naturally been in panic. It is certain that they will be deported from the mansion, but the expulsion from the mansion also depends on the owner's thoughts. There was the owner who paid for the trip and allowed him to take away the money he had saved over the years. There are also those who are mean. Not only do they not pay for travel, they are not allowed to take away the money they have saved. What they are saying is that they have been greatly favored in this house for so many years. Every piece of grass and branches are given by the master, and the money naturally belongs to the master.

As for the most mean person, of course he regarded them as a rare commodity and asked around if he would be willing to buy them all in exchange for more money.

Therefore, these eight people also thought about how to keep peace. If Aunt Su had not had a miscarriage, they were still undecided. Although they were very loyal to Mr. Song, they still hoped that Aunt Su would give birth to a son. Naturally, Su Qiao took the decision in the house.

Women are always soft-hearted, and when the time comes, they can ask for Su Qiao, and they can leave with their travel expenses.

The news of Aunt Su's miscarriage came yesterday. They knew that they could not count on Aunt Su, so they naturally followed Mr. Song even more.

Before Su Qiao and Song Zhen entered the house, while the servant was still holding the curtain, she heard a flattering voice: "Sir, please look, this is the side of Mo that the Duke of Guo loved most during his lifetime. It is said that there are already It’s been a hundred years. The Duke of Guo has collected this square ink and would not open it easily at ordinary times. Only during the Chinese New Year did he take it out and use it. At this time, his face could not get past the thin layer of ink.

layer. "

Are you planning to divide things up before you decide on an heir? Suqiao's eyebrows furrowed. Mr. Song was admiring the square ink in his hand: "Okay, okay, if you want to buy this ink from outside, it will cost several hundred taels of silver."

"Money is not a big deal, I'm afraid I can't buy such good things even with money." The person who spoke was the teacher of the small a cappella singing class. He also had two other brocade boxes on hand, and he wanted to show them to Mr. Song. . As for Master Eleven and the other two clan elders, they were sitting there sipping tea, as if they didn't care at all. But if you look carefully, you can see Master Eleven's eyes, but they have been looking at the items on the Duobao Pavilion. Those antique treasures.

Everything that Song An could place here was all his favorite things. Su Qiao glanced at it and said to the boy on the side: "Does the furnishings in this study usually have an account?"

"Yes, this account belongs to the butler, Uncle Li." The boy said respectfully. A smile appeared on Suqiao's lips: "After the funeral is over, we will reconcile the accounts. If there is anything missing, I will ask you for it."

"Madam, you have wronged me. How dare you touch the things here?" The boy was still so respectful. Now Mr. Song couldn't cover his face and carefully put down Fang Mo. The teacher hurriedly put the ink into the brocade box.

Mr. Song glanced at Fang Mo reluctantly, and then said to Su Qiao: "Third brother and sister, I just waited for you for a long time and just wanted to enjoy it."

"It's human nature for uncle to enjoy these things." Suqiao smiled lightly, but changed the subject: "If uncle likes it, just say, I can make the decision to send it out."

, I gave it to my uncle as a gift, which was considered a favor. "

Suqiao's words were full of sarcasm. Why didn't Mr. Song hear it? However, a clan elder put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to Su Qiao: "My niece, I'm choosing an heir today, so I don't need to invite you. My nephew said, always There's no reason why you wouldn't come forward to choose a son for you, so I invited you here."

"I can't understand what Uncle Wu said." Su Qiao was respectful, but the sarcasm in his words was clear.

Of course, Uncle Song knew that Su Qiao's unintelligible words were meant to be sarcastic, so Uncle Song's face twitched: "We, the Song family, have been here in the capital for hundreds of years. The selection of an heir is naturally within the clan. Tell him. Mother will do it.”

"Really?" Suqiao asked back. Uncle Song's face became more and more confused. He stood up and scolded: "Of course, yes, niece-in-law, you grew up in the country. I guess your father didn't teach you much, so you don't know that we are like this." People..."

"I grew up in the countryside, but I also read the Four Books and Five Classics and understand the principles of the world." Su Qiao interrupted Uncle Song, saying that according to the wishes of Uncle Kuang and his wife, they were not willing to let Su Qiao study. After all, studying costs money. But before Su Qiao Niang passed away, she had already taught Su Qiao how to read a few words. Uncle Kuang invited his husband back to teach his sons and nephews.

In the spirit of one person being a teacher, several people are also teachers. After all, this money cannot be wasted. So Uncle Kuang asked his daughter and Su Qiao to study with his husband.

When this country gentleman saw that his students were both boys and girls, it was natural for the boys to teach them more and be more attentive, and the girls would teach them how to read.

A few words count.

Suqiao was smart by nature, and Mr. Kuang’s bookbox was always placed in Suqiao’s house. After she knew a few words, Suqiao went to look through the books in the box. After studying for three years, the teacher said that the girl had grown up, and she couldn’t It’s time to learn from your husband again. Uncle Kuang asked his daughter and Suqiao to come back.

Suqiao did housework during the day, and secretly read the books at night. Over time, she read them several times, and realized that the truth of the world was different from what the uncle and his wife said. After marrying a scholar, the husband and wife also talked about the principles in those books, and the husband marveled at Su Qiao's knowledge.

At this time, Su Qiao said such words directly. Uncle Song couldn't help but stretched out his finger, pointed at Su Qiao and said: "You, you, you are so brave, you dare to disobey your elders."

"Uncle Fifth, before I even said a few words, you said that I was disobedient to my elders. Does it mean that I am disobedient just because I am standing here?" Su Qiao asked back, and Uncle Song became even more angry: "Okay, okay, look. Come on, you want to be kicked out of our family."

"Reason?" Suqiao asked again. Uncle Song was stopped by the question and stood there angrily.

Su Qiao had already said softly: "Does Fifth Uncle want to imitate other uneducated families, who bring a group of people to rob the master before his body is even cold? He wants to drive away the widow and seize the family property?"

Su Qiao's words made Fifth Uncle Song take a step back, but Mr. Song had already taken a step forward and said to Su Qiao: "Third brother and sister, third brother and sister, please sit down. Fifth uncle didn't mean that."

"I don't mean that. What does Fifth Uncle mean?" Su Qiao didn't look at Mr. Song, but asked softly.

Master Song suddenly hesitated, what should he say?

Let Suqiao catch the loophole in her words?
