The rebirth of the son-in-law

Princess Xianning and her party stopped in front of a house in the west of the city.Several people got out of the car and looked at this ordinary house. The gate and wall were not high, at most it was a middle-class family, and there was not even a servant guarding the gate.

Song Zhi felt strange, looked up and saw the word "Song Fu" written on the plaque.She felt uneasy and wondered, "Song House?"

Seeing her strange, Yu Du smiled and said, "This is Song Changsheng's residence."

Song Changsheng?Song Zhi thought of Song Shu, who looked a little like Princess Xianning, heaved a sigh of relief, and jokingly said, "I almost thought Mingzhi wanted to bring me to recognize relatives."

Dou Tu stepped forward to knock on the door, Princess Xianning was stunned for a moment when she heard Song Zhi's words, explained with a soft smile, and nodded: "The world can't write two Song characters. Maybe this Song Changsheng really has some relationship with you."

Song Shu opened the door, poked his head out from the inside, saw that it was a strange man, and asked with a strange expression: "What's your business, sir?"

"My lord is here to visit Song Changsheng." Dou Tu yawned in an extremely rude manner.

Song Shu opened the door, looked at the group of people behind Dou Tu, glanced at Zhang He and Yu Du, and landed on Song Zhi.But he quickly turned his head to look at Princess Xianning.

He cupped his hands and said, "I am Song Shu. Who are you?"

Dou Tudao: "Dou Tu, a common man, is a consultant. This is Tingwei Zheng Zhang Shuque, Tingwei Zuojian Qu Mingzhi, Zuojian's subordinate Yu Jiunian, and your son-in-law Song Zhi." He said one by one. introduce.

Song Shu suddenly realized, and saluted each of them respectfully and respectfully: "It is a great honor for you to come. Everyone, please come in."

Princess Xianning and others returned the gift, and followed Song Shu into the Song Mansion.The Song Mansion is very simple, with only a few houses and a yard with two peach trees planted in the yard.After entering the main hall, there were only a few seats, so Song Shu personally took out two half-old and not new seats and put them there. He asked everyone to sit down, and then brought wine and poured wine for several people.

"Several, the humble house is simple, and I have wronged you gentlemen." Song Shu said with a serious expression, raising his glass.

Zhang He is currently the highest official in this group of people, and he replied: "Where, it is enough to be entertained by Song Jun."

After everyone drank for a while, Song Shu asked carefully: "I don't know what's the matter for you to come to the door today?"

"Song Jun is from Changsha?" Princess Xianning smiled slightly and looked up at Song Shu.

Song Shu said: "No. Shu's ancestral home is Yingchuan. He came to Changsha when he was a child and has lived in Changsha for 20 years."

"From Yingchuan?" Song Zhi said in surprise, "Coincidentally, I am also from Yingchuan."

Song Shu was also pleasantly surprised: "My son is also from Yingchuan? This is a fellow villager. I don't want to see people from my hometown in Changsha. This is a great fortune. Let me respect my son."

Song Zhi was happy on the face, but he was muttering in his heart, could this Song Shu really be an offshoot relative of the Song family?Probably not, otherwise he would have been purged long ago.

"Mr. Song, why don't you see your father?" Zhang He asked without seeing Song Shu's family members.

Song Shu said: "My parents passed away when I was a child. They only left me this house and a healthy servant. The servant saw that I was young and deceitful, so she stole my money and left. I also I'm alone. Hey, it's meaningless to say these things, I don't know if you are here today, what advice do you have?"

"Song Jun's clothes are exquisitely stitched." Princess Xianning rubbed the earcup with her fingertips, and the lines on it gradually became clear in her heart. She raised her eyes to look at Song Shu, and said lightly, "I don't know where the patterns are made?"

"Did you say this?" Song Shu raised his sleeve, and there was a lotus flower embroidered on it, which was about to bloom, very elegant, but the clothes were a little whitish after washing, "This is the pattern that the maid embroidered for me before."

Zhang He took a closer look and found the pattern familiar, as if he had seen that pattern somewhere before.But he was tired recently, and he couldn't think of it for a while.

Princess Xianning seemed to be particularly interested in that lotus, and asked: "Oh? This lotus has profound embroidery skills and elegant patterns. I really like it. I want to ask Mr. Song, can we find that servant girl?"

Song Shu laughed and said, "Couldn't Supervisor Qu Zuo come to amuse me? That maid stole my money and ran away naturally. How can I find it?"

"Eh?" Song Zhi asked curiously, "That maid is too heartless, since she has been taking care of Mr. Song since his father's generation, she still did such a thing. Can Mr. Song report to the government?"

"It's just a little money. If she wants to leave, she can leave. It's a little pension money from me. It's fine to report to the official." Song Shu sighed.

Princess Xianning lowered her eyes all the time, looking at the wine in the glass, not knowing what she was thinking.

After leaving the Song Mansion, on the way back to the Qu Mansion, Song Zhi thought about it, and couldn't help asking: "Why did the princess go to the Song Mansion? So is Song Shu someone suspicious?"

Princess Xianning was still silent and did not reply, as if she was caught in a great mystery.It wasn't until Zhang He and Dou Tu left and she went up to the attic that she solemnly said to Song Zhi: "Azhi, I suspect that this Song Changsheng has a lot to do with the palace man who was killed in the palace. Moreover, it is very likely that the palace man She is the servant girl that Song Changsheng spoke of."

"Ah?" Song Zhi asked in surprise, "Why?"

Princess Xianning took a drawing from the desk and handed it to Song Zhi.Song Zhi took a look, the painting on it was lotus, isn't this the pattern on Song Shu's cuff!

"This morning, Dou Tu told me that he followed Song Jian's clues to find the owner of the Yiyuan workshop. He got a message from the workshop owner. The workshop owner recognized the lotus picture and said that it was on Song Changsheng's clothes. She saw Pass."

"Where did this picture come from?" Song Zhi asked in surprise.

"It was traced on the palace maid's handkerchief. There is also the medicine pouch on her body, which also has this pattern."

Song Zhiche realized: "So that's the case. In this way, Song Changsheng might be the person that the palace man wanted to meet outside the palace? Song Changsheng said that the servant stole the money and ran away, but if the palace man was the servant, why did he go back? See Song Changsheng? In other words, Song Changsheng lied, the palace man did not steal his money at all, but entered the palace directly. Then why did he lie? He just refused to reveal his identity because he didn't want to get involved with this dead man. Or is there something else hidden in it?"

Princess Xianning smiled lightly and said: "It was speculated in the past that the palace man gave birth to a child, and that child was Song Changsheng. Song Changsheng said he was from Yingchuan, but he was actually from Luoyang."

"This is all speculation. Whether it is true or not remains to be discussed." Song Zhi felt that there were still many puzzling questions in it, and he couldn't just rely on guesswork to determine the truth.

"So I asked Zhang He and Dou Tu to check Song Changsheng's identity. Don't worry, we'll find out if what he said is true." Because Zhang He said bluntly that Song Shu lied as soon as he left the Song residence, Xianning The princess simply asked him to investigate.

Just a few days later, the Yangzhou Governor's Department, reporting defeat, urgently reported to Luoyang, requesting troops to suppress the Shanyue rebellion.However, the general procrastinated and neglected at this time, and was vague about the emperor's dispatch of troops.

The emperor had no choice but to order the governor of Yangzhou to organize his own elite soldiers.But the mountains are getting more and more menacing, and there is no chance for the Yangzhou Governor's Department to recruit troops.Three days later, the emperor issued a decree from the sickbed, allowing Changsha to send troops to Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Before the people who announced the decree left Sizhou, the news spread to Changsha.But at this time, the King of Changsha, who received the news, was embarrassed in every possible way, because he found out that the Shen family was also involved in the increase in food prices.

Shen Yan stood outside the Liancheng princess's mansion, hesitating whether to come forward to see her.Before going out, the head of the Shen family told him earnestly that if he wanted to pay for his crimes, he had better change his ways, submit to the princess, and win the princess's heart, so that the Shen family could return to the court of Changsha Kingdom.The fate of the Shen family is in his hands alone, if he doesn't want to become a sinner through the ages, it's best to do this.

I have found all the excuses, just to thank the Princess for saving my life.When he thought of being beaten half to death by those dudes and lying on the ground in pain, but no one dared to come forward to rescue him, he shuddered and shivered deeply.

In fact, his injury has already healed, but as long as he thinks of the humiliation he suffered at the beginning, his chest is always aching.He made up his mind, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said to the guard: "Shen Yan, please see the princess!"

The guard recognized him and didn't make any trouble, just told him to wait a while, and then went in to report.

Chu Yan was listening to Wei Sanniang's story about her life experience. When the guard notified Shen Yan's arrival, Wei Sanniang stopped talking, with a smile on her face, as if she was a little happy.Chu Yan caught a glimpse of the excited tears in her eyes, thought for a moment, and said to the guard, "Let him in."

The guard went out to communicate, Chu Yan turned to Wei Sanniang and said: "Sanniang, you wait here first, I will explain to him why you are here."

Wei Sanniang couldn't see, and couldn't follow without anyone's support. She nodded and sat back in her seat obediently.

Chu Yan didn't go very far, just walked out of the gazebo, walked a dozen steps, and saw Shen Yan walking briskly towards this side.When the two met, Chu Yan unobtrusively blocked Shen Yan's sight.

Shen Yan saluted, lowered his head and said: "Common Shen Yan, I have seen the princess."

He made a gesture to bow down, but before he bowed down, Chu Yan stopped him: "It's alright, alright. Shen Yan, what are you doing here?"

Shen Yan respectfully said: "The common people came to thank the princess for saving their lives. If the princess hadn't come to rescue that day, maybe the common people would have died. The common people are grateful for the princess' kindness to the common people." He secretly lifted Looking at Chu Yan, seeing that Chu Yan was unmoved, he changed his mind, knelt down on his knees, and said excitedly, "If the princess doesn't dislike Shen Yan, Shen Yan is willing to lead the horse and kick for the princess!"

Chu Yan saw too many flattering people, and Shen Yan's sudden change of attitude surprised her a little.She frowned and kicked Shen Yan with little strength, but with some contempt: "Why are you crazy?"

"Princess, I..."

Chu Yan said impatiently: "I don't care what you think, I don't want you to lead a horse, and I don't want you to be a cow or a horse. If you stay away from me, you will give me the best reward. Do you understand?"

Shen Yan's face turned red.He had never bowed his knees to flatter others before, and was a little embarrassed by Chu Yan's attitude.

"However, I do have something for you to do." Chu Yan said with a smile.

Shen Yan turned his anger into joy, and quickly said: "Princess, Shen Yan is willing to go through fire and water for the princess!"

Chu Yan smiled without saying a word, turned around, and pointed at Wei Sanniang who was fidgeting in the pavilion.

Shen Yan was caught off guard, seeing Wei Sanniang's frail figure and her hesitant expression.His expression changed, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that he rushed over excitedly and hugged Wei Sanniang.
