I'm not unlucky at all

"No."

Cui's expression remained the same, pretending she didn't see the refusal on Song Lianyu's face, she stretched out her arms towards her, clapped her hands lightly and said, "Bring Jin'er here and let mother hug her."

Song Lianyu hesitated to speak, and went up to hand Jin'er into Cui's hands.

She lowered her head, picked up a shoe sole that Cui Shi hadn't finished yet from the sewing basket next to her, and began to mend without saying a word.

Cui put her arms around Jin'er to coax her, and gave Song Xing a look, telling him to go out and do his own work first.

After all, she is a person from the past, Cui somewhat understands the scruples in Song Lianyu's heart, this year is not good, for a woman who is divorced from her husband's family, she always has to bear more gossip from other people.

But in the end, this life is for yourself, not for others to see.

Cui has been a widow for most of her life, so she is more open-minded than others, and she can't bear her daughter to see her daughter spend her whole life surrounded by these four walls in vain.

She had a plan in her heart, carried Jin'er to the couch, came back and held Song Lianyu's hand, and sighed softly: "If you don't want to go to Master Qin's birthday tomorrow, mother will not force you, but you can't do it anyway." I have to accompany my mother to pick out the clothes." Song Lianyu still had hesitation on his face, and Cui Shi made a face on purpose, "Our Yu'er has been my mother's caring little padded jacket since she was a child, and now my mother can't rely on you for help. .”

Song Lianyu couldn't answer, so he had to say yes.

Song Xing stood outside the door for a while, hearing no other movement in the room, and then walked away.

After eating breakfast, Li Sanyi carried the book basket and followed Song Xing to the private school. This kid just stayed at home and watched the door for a few days. He didn't see his husband, so he didn't know how much he had saved. I didn't understand it in class. With knowledge, one question after another popped out of his mouth.

"Li Sangou! Li Sangou!"

A few little beggars wearing rags and snot running down their mouths ran by the side of the road. They laughed and threw a few gravels at Li Sanyi and then ran away quickly.

Li Sanyi was startled when a stone was thrown into the book basket.

Song Xing frowned and stopped to look in the direction of the little beggar. The little beggar ran very fast and disappeared before he had time to catch up.

When he turned his head again, he saw Li Sanyi lowering his head and carefully picking out the broken stones in the book basket.

The child's expression was tight, and his lips were biting together and turned white.

Song Xing pressed his eyebrows and helped him pick up gravel from the book basket, "They usually play tricks on you like this?"

Li Sanyi's complexion was slightly pale.

Song Xing asked again, "They called you Li Sangou?"

Li Sanyi clenched his fists.

Song Xing said, "How many times?"

Li Sanyi said with red eyes: "...can't remember."

Song Xing frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Li Sanyi stood on the same spot, his head was lowered to his chest, and his voice was pitifully low: "Some of them were escaped together by us, and some were beggars in Sifang Town. When I was with them before, They all know that my name is Goudan..."

Song Xing said, "So, you just let them call you that?"

Li Sanyi pursed his lips and shook his head vigorously.

Song Xing looked down at him.

After the gravel in the book basket was picked up, Li Sanyi picked up the book basket again, and carefully pulled Song Xing's clothes.

"Sir, it will be late if you don't go."

Song Xing watched the child secretly touch the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, you bastards, and you bully the people who are under the protection of the young master while the young master is away?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the corner of the street, and Shen Yao was holding a little dirty child in one hand full of anger, Behind them were three trembling little quails, who walked aggressively across the long street and walked in front of the two of them, giving each of them a headache, "What are you looking at, sorry, apology!"

The beggars who were throwing stones at Li Sanyi were crying in front of Shen Yao just now because of the large number of people.

The most courageous little beggar was terrified by Shen Yao's stare, wiped his nose on the invisible coat, and cried at the top of his throat, "Li Sangou, I'm sorry!"

Shen Yao hit him on the head again: "You are also named Li Sangou?"

The little beggar was startled, and looked at his accomplice as if asking for help.

The other beggars glanced at each other, with hatred for Li Sanyi's good life flashed across their eyes, but they dared not speak out because of Shen Yao's skill, and tremblingly said: "Li Sanyi, I'm sorry!"

Li Sanyi looked at them and said nothing, but Song Xing only saw Shen Wang, who fell far behind Shen Yao, make a hissing gesture to him.

Shen Yao complacently looked at Li Sanyi from the corner of his eye, saw a few beggars apologizing, waved his hands and said, "Okay, get out of here, if I let the young master see you bullying people next time, It’s more than just beating you up.”

When the beggars heard this, their eyes were full of joy, and they scattered and ran away.

Seeing them leaving, Shen Yao approached Li Sanyi with a smile and took a closer look, as if discovering the scene of surprise, he said, "Hey, you were bullied by those idiots to cry? Do you want it! I said Li Sanyi, are you fake?" Right? I see you are very brave when you ride on my head to shit every day!"

"The devil rides on your head and shit."

Li Sanyi's forehead had a twitch of veins, and he pushed Shen Yao away so angry that he carried the book basket on his back and walked forward.

Shen Yao smiled and waved to Song Xing, followed behind the child with a mean face, deliberately annoyed him.

Song Xing stood where he was, Shen Wang followed up and held his hand with his wide sleeves as a cover, saying, "Don't worry too much, children's affairs should be handled by children."

Song Xing frowned and looked at him: "But Shen Yao is not a child anymore."

Shen Wang said: "You have to believe that his brain is only as big as a three-year-old child."

Song Xing said again: "The reputation of Wuyashan disciples bullying beggars in public may not be very pleasant."

Shen Wang said: "It's okay, it's just a lesson to a few beggar gang boys, it's not too bad."

Song Xing narrowed his eyes, "The Beggar Gang?"

Shen Wang tilted his head to look at him, and said in surprise, "Young Master, you don't know?"

Song Xing said, "What should I know?"

Shen Wang smiled, and led him forward, "You underestimate the beggars all over the street, and the gang of beggars too much. Your little book boy was bullied by those beggars, maybe someone bought them, It's right to let them do this on purpose... From my point of view, your little book boy may have attracted the jealousy of some people."

Song Xing paused, and frowned, wanting to ask clearly.

Shen Wangjie only said: "You don't need to worry too much, little master. Didn't I just say that the children's affairs should be left to the children to solve. As adults, we just need to see that they don't make mistakes."

Song Xing pulled out the palm that was pinched by him, "Oh."

Shen Wangwan wanted to be freed by the young man, and said next to him: "Little master, let me touch you."

Song Xing said, "Your palms are all sweaty, and it hurts when you touch them."

Most of the arrangements for the private school in the morning were for the husband to lead the students to learn how to read. Song Xing took too many breaks these days, and Kong Sibo was surprised to see him go, so he put down the burden and went home to accompany his daughter-in-law Enai, who had never been married.

Shen Wang accompanied Song Xing early in the morning, and at noon suddenly a carrier pigeon flew in from outside, and he disappeared after that.

Song Xing didn't care where he went, and continued to lead the students to practice calligraphy and write large calligraphy in the afternoon.

Shen Yaoai and Li Sanyi got together, and they were serious about studying. Seeing that the room was quiet, Song Xing went to the tea room in the front yard to make a pot of tea. When he came back, he found that the school was still quiet, but there was one at the front table. The corner of the fat boy's mouth was a little bit more purple.

Song Xing called him out to ask what was going on.

Shen Yao secretly peeked out of the house while whispering to Li Sanyi.

Li Sanyi lowered his head, but there was not a word written on the copybook.

"Who bullied you?" Song Xing asked.

The little fat man is the youngest son of the owner of the jade shop in the town. He was raised with a round head and a round brain.

But today he was very obedient and said: "Sir, I accidentally knocked the corner of my mouth on the inkstone just now."

Song Xing naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that the little fat man didn't want to talk, he didn't continue to ask.

After sending the little fat man back to the room, Shen Yao immediately straightened his posture with a light cough, and Li Sanyi also straightened his back.

Song Xing glanced at the two of them indifferently, which really scared them into a cold sweat.

Shen Yao and Li Sanyi's inexplicable guilt lasted until after school, and Song Xing didn't question the two of them. Instead, he took the little fat man to the pharmacy to grab some medicine for him to take home and apply.

The little fat man was flattered.

Shen Yao and Li Sanyi scratched their heads even more and dared not look at their wife.

Shen Wang didn't know where he went, he had already changed into a set of clothes when he appeared on the street.

Song Xing leaned closer to him, and could vaguely smell the bloody smell on the man's body.

Shen Wang secretly squeezed his hand, shaking his head to express that there is no need to worry.

Song Xing pursed her lips.

"What, revenge?" Shen Wang set his eyes on Shen Yao again, and a big palm almost pressed Shen Yao to the ground.

Shen Yao muttered a few times, but he didn't dare to fight back.

Li Sanyi wanted to step forward to stop him, but Shen Yao first stretched out his hand to stop him.

Shen Yao gritted his teeth at him, turned his head and said coquettishly to Shen Wang: "Senior brother, you have to trust me, I didn't make a move." After a pause, he said bitterly, "Senior brother, please be less aggressive. Is it okay to treat your brother and sister with strength?"

Shen Wang sneered and withdrew his hand.

Shen Yao really wanted to speak in grief and indignation, but he heard a man and a woman coming out of a small restaurant.

The girl is about sixteen and seventy-seven, wearing a bu yao on her head, with flowers printed between her eyebrows, wearing a blue skirt with a waist, her beautiful eyes are full of smiles, and she is intimately holding a middle-aged rich man The man's arm, with his face sideways, seemed to be whispering something to the maid behind him.

"Brother, look, isn't that Boss Tao's daughter Tao Qiaoxiang?" Shen Yao looked carefully with his eyes wide open, "Who is that man beside her? Isn't that Boss Tao?"

Hearing this, Shen Wang looked towards the door of the opposite restaurant, was also taken aback for a moment, and frowned slightly.

Song Xing saw the middle-aged man next to Tao Qiaoxiang, looked for it in Yuanshen's memory, and said softly, "It's not Boss Tao, it's the second master of the Qin family."

Shen Yao rubbed his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong, looked at Tao Qiaoxiang and then at the man beside her, and said in disbelief, "No way, why did Tao Qiaoxiang walk with the second master of the Qin family, when Boss Tao's inn caught fire, Isn't it indirectly because of Second Lord Qin?"

Shen Wang and Song Xing looked at each other, but didn't speak.

Back then, the Sifang Inn caught fire and Ximei's body was thrown into the well on the same day.

Second Lord Qin wanted to accept Ximei as his concubine by nature, and was approached by Second Grandma Qin with Ximei in the Sifang Inn. Later, there was a dispute between them, and Ximei was killed soon after, although the murderer of Ximei was once killed by Second Master Qin It was identified as the second wife of Qin, but there was no evidence, and the fire in the Sifang Inn was caused by the dispute between the second master Qin and the second grandmother of Qin, who accidentally pushed down the candle on the candlestick and ignited the oil tank placed at the corner of the inn lobby.

After that, Boss Tao didn't escape from the scene of the fire in time because he was reluctant to part with his belongings. His brain was blown out and he became crazy.

It is because of these causal relationships that Tao Qiaoxiang, the daughter of Boss Tao, should never stand so intimately with Master Qin Er, who caused the Sifang Inn to collapse, and even laughed at Yanyan.

It's nothing more than a big enmity between the two of them.

"I remember you once gave Miss Tao a token to find a good doctor." Song Xing turned his head to look at the thoughtful man beside him, and asked slowly, "I don't know how Boss Tao's condition is now. .”

Shen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Across the street, Tao Qiaoxiang said a few more words with the servant girl before she turned her head. She smiled and put Second Master Qin on her arm, with the shyness of a woman seeing her sweetheart on her face, and asked coquettishly, "Second Master, what are you doing?" Are you planning to marry Xiang'er in at that time?"

Qin Erye smiled, there were shallow wrinkles around the slender phoenix eyes, and his upright and handsome features were imbued with indescribable implication.

"Xiang'er, don't worry, once my father's birthday is over, Second Master, I will definitely carry a big sedan chair and marry you into my Qin family. You will be the second grandma of my Qin family."

Tao Qiaoxiang was very satisfied, raised her arms to reveal her thin wrists, and said coquettishly, "Second Lord, Xiang'er sees how empty her wrist is now, and wants to go to Zhenbao Pavilion again."

Qin Erye's eyes were dark, he brushed the woman's delicate skin, and said in a pitiful tone: "Xiang'er's wrist is very beautiful, only a jade bracelet is missing to match it."

Tao Qiaoxiang said: "Then the second master must choose carefully for me."

Qin Erye laughed loudly: "Naturally! Naturally!"

Behind the two of them, seven or eight attendants and servant girls all lowered their heads, respectfully daring not to make any other movements.

After the two left the entrance of the restaurant, many passing people began to point and point at Tao Qiaoxiang and Qin Erye in twos and threes.

Shen Wang and Shen Yao had excellent ears, but after a while, they heard all the gossip of the people around them.

"Miss Tao is really shameless. How long has this father been crazy, and he fell in love with a man."

"Shh, keep your voice down, I heard that Boss Tao died a few days ago, but I don't know why Miss Tao went crazy and didn't even bury her father."

"Hey, don't talk about it, we don't know whether Boss Tao is dead or not, but isn't it because of Qin Erye and the second grandma Qin in front of the Sifang Inn? Miss Tao doesn't regard Qin Erye as an enemy, why? Are you still on good terms with people?"

"Don't tell me that Miss Tao is bewitched, right? I used to think she was quite a girl."

"That's right, I heard a maid from the Tao family who came to my place to buy vegetables a while ago say that her lady is returning the entire family business in order to suppress the group of people from the branch of the Tao family!"

"Why is this nice girl suddenly acting like this? Go face to face and make a sequel to Master Qin Er."

"Speaking of which, the three sons in Second Master Qin's family are not easy-going lamps. If Miss Tao really marries into the Qin family, her life will be very difficult in the future."

"Who said it wasn't."

Hearing the whispers of the people around him, Shen Wang's eyes sank, feeling that he had overlooked something.

Shen Yao was very impatient to hear that, he didn't like Tao Qiaoxiang's kind of charming lady, so he curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

Obviously looked down on the other party.

Song Xing probably also heard some people's gossip, frowned and said, "Would you like to go and see how Boss Tao is doing? I always feel that Miss Tao is acting too weird this time..."

Shen Wang said with deep eyes, "Go and have a look."

Tao Mansion is located in the west of Sifang Town, and there are two gatekeepers standing at the gate, looking listless.

Shen Yao went up to knock on the door, and the two servants immediately became vigilant: "Who are you? Our master is seriously ill now, and all the guests are gone. If you come to look for the lady, she has not returned yet, please come back another day. "

Shen Yao frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Shen Wang.

"In that case, forget it, let's go back, it's not too late to come to the door after making an appointment with Miss Tao some other day."

The tension on the faces of the two boys visibly relaxed a bit.

"It seems that Boss Tao is in danger now."

On the way back, Shen Yao kicked the stones on the side of the road and said.

Shen Wang was noncommittal: "Go again at night, it's too early to judge."

Song Xing asked: "Is this matter related to Mr. Yumian?"

Shen Wang pulled out two stalks of dog's tail grass from the ground, imitating Song Xing's technique that day, tied them up and handed them to him: "Recently, Yumian Langjun's subordinates have become more and more irritable, probably he is looking for That baby finally has a clue, and because we don't know who he is, that's why we're so fanatical."

"So now any strange and suspicious things in Sifang Town cannot be let go." Shen Yao also said seriously.

Song Xing pursed her lips, played with the dog's tail grass and said nothing.

The autumn is cool, the willow trees on the roadside are blown by the wind, and the willow branches are swaying in the air, like a group of demons dancing under the dark sky.

Back at Song's house, the two maids had already prepared dinner.

Cui was wearing a newly made dress in front of the square table, and a bright red hairpin and Bu Yao were inserted into her gray hair for a time.

"Mother." Song Xing stood at the door and called out.

Cui immediately took off the jewelry on her head shyly, and said with a smile, "My son is back? Are you tired today?"

Song Xing said he was not tired.

He took another look at Song Lianyu who was standing beside Cui Shi with a relaxed expression.

Song Lianyu took the jewelry that Cui Shi handed her, put it back into the wooden box, and said with a smile: "Little brother, let's see if the clothes on mother look good."

Song Xing took a closer look and said with a smile: "Mother looks good in anything."

Song Lianyu said: "Do you see that my mother is wearing this dress, is it more condescending than those ladies outside?"

"As long as you can talk, I, an old woman who stepped into the coffin, can still compare with other young ladies." Cui spat at him, but there was unconcealable joy and faint heartache on her face: "This dress is a mother's dress." Today, I took your sister to a tailor shop to pick it out for a long time before buying it, and it cost five taels of silver."

"It's worth it." Song Xing stepped forward to smooth the folds of Cui Shi's cuffs, "Mother looks very nice, she looks like she is ten years younger."

The wrinkles on Cui's face seemed to be stretched.

The old lady was happy, and everyone was naturally happy too.

But what surprised Song Xing even more was that not only the old lady bought new clothes, but also her sister Song Lianyu, but they didn't wear them.

Song Xing asked in surprise, "Did my sister agree to go with my brother to celebrate the old man Qin's birthday in the future?"

Song Lianyu pushed back her hair from her temples, and pursed her thin lips slightly.

On the contrary, Cui said with a smile: "Go, go, the whole family will go together."
