At this time, Cai Feng came out to greet him and said: "The food and drink are ready, master and young masters, hurry up and take a seat." He accidentally looked at Song Yingbai, and quickly lowered his head guiltily.

"Let's chat while eating." Song Yingfei said to the servants waiting in the room: "Except for Caifeng, you all go down."

Soon, all the people left, and there were only three uncles and nephews and a cloth Caifeng Caifeng left.

Although this is Song Yingbai's residence, he looks like a guest at this moment. He has doubts in his heart, but holding on to his patience, he said nonchalantly: "Uncle and elder brother are coming to the capital, why don't you send someone to inform me in advance? Good to go out of town to meet."

Song Yingfei said: "I know you are busy with business, so I didn't bother you."

Song Yingbai smiled and said: "You guys are too out of touch." So probably Caifeng contacted you, otherwise how would you know where I live?

At this time, his uncle Song Yuye seemed to see Song Yingbai's doubts, and said with a smile: "The second housekeeper, Yu Liu, told us that we live in this area, so we came to inquire, but, by coincidence, we happened to meet Caifeng who was out shopping for vegetables. , and led us in. How about it, Caifeng didn't slack off, right?"

"No, Caifeng did a good job, thank you uncle." Song Yingbai glanced at Caifeng, "I asked how Caifeng came to my house, and he said that my father ordered me not to say, haha, it turned out that it was my uncle who took the lead. I went, deliberately wanting to surprise me."

"Back when you wrote to say that you were promoted, your father asked the second housekeeper to bring things to Beijing to see you. At that time, I happened to be at your house, thinking that you might lack a servant who could wash clothes and cook food. Caifeng happened to have a good hand and foot, so I asked someone to give it to you. You brought it. You are satisfied with Uncle's gift, and Uncle is very happy." Song Yuye stroked his beard and said with a gentle smile.

Song Yingfei was a little afraid of this uncle who was a high-ranking official, but he didn't expect his younger brother to be unrestrained at all. Sure enough, when his younger brother became an official, his knowledge was different. Adopting him to his uncle, he had a bigger tree to enjoy the shade. For him, he should is a good thing.

His father sent him here to act as a representative to explain the matter of adoption.

This kind of thing can't be delayed, the longer it is delayed, the harder it is to open it. He gave Song Yingbai a piece of food, "Uncle has been talking about it all the time, and I look forward to seeing you soon." He said to Song Yuye: "Uncle, Yingbai is The youngest of our brothers is still unmarried, and now he has a hundred households, you must help him find a good wife."

Song Yingbai felt that this was awkward. Marriage should be decided by the parents, and the uncle can only help from the side. What is he in charge of?

Seeing that the topic had been brought up, Song Yingfei struck while the iron was hot, "Uncle has no children, so you have to support him in the future."

Song Yingbai was stunned, of course it was okay to support his relatives, but why did he point out that he was the only one, not the brothers, they were all nephews, why was he so special.

Looking at the uncle himself, he stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, but looked at himself lovingly.

Song Yingbai felt more and more that the atmosphere was not right, so he deliberately smiled and said, "Of course."

Song Yuye sighed: "I am five years older than your father, and our parents left earlier. As an elder brother, I should take care of my younger brother, but when I was young, I was really confused. I made brothers fight over some trivial matters, which not only made Jiuquan My parents were sad, and I lost contact with your father. This loss lasted for decades.

We didn't meet again until our temples were graying.Fortunately, your father is better than me. He has five sons. The Song family's incense has been kept. If it was only me, the Song family would lose all sons and grandchildren.I have no children in my life, and I have married two wives successively, but they have nothing to do, and each of them has walked ahead of me. Now I am really a lonely old man. "

At the beginning, after the death of the parents of the two brothers, the elder brother used all the little money left for his own education, and the younger brother was not far behind, he took out the things in the house and sold them, fearing that he would lose money. Persuasion does not work.

Later, Song Yingbai's father simply took up the burden in a fit of anger, and went out to make a living by himself. Later, with his courage and brains, he became a deacon in the outer court of a rich man's family, helping to manage the land rent. The shopkeeper became a big shopkeeper, and later married the only daughter of a rich man. Since then, she has prospered and gave birth to five sons and two daughters in one breath.

Because of anger, he has not contacted his brother. Later, his brother Song Yuye had no children. He thought of his younger brother and asked someone to inquire. After several rounds, it took several years, and finally found the place where his younger brother got married and started a business. The two brothers saw each other. It looks like a white hair on the temples.

They are all old, and decades have passed since the incident, blood is thicker than water, and they have shaken hands since then.

One has no children, the other has a lot of surplus, and what happens next is very natural.

But it was an accident to inherit one to my brother.

At this moment, Song Yingfei got up, took a long box, opened it and took out a few neatly folded papers, and handed it to Song Yingbai with both hands, "This is a letter from my father, and... Anyway, you can read it yourself."

Song Yingbai had a bad premonition, so he quickly opened it and read it carefully. It was a letter written by his father. It was concise and to the point. You have been adopted out. From now on, your father and I will not be your father. Your uncle will be your father. Even the letter from the ancestral hall The genealogy has been changed, so you can be his son with peace of mind, support him during his lifetime, and enshrine him after his death.

He thought he had read it wrong, so he closed his eyes hard, and looked again. The word "adoption" was clearly written in black and white.

He obviously didn't drink alcohol, but he felt dizzy at this moment. Although he came from time travel, he had always treated him as a family, and this sudden and unexpected operation caught him unexpectedly.

The most important thing is that he didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, which made him feel disrespected and abandoned.

Song Yingbai closed the letter and looked at another piece of paper. It turned out to be a document of adoption, with the names of the three parties on it, and a notary named Song, probably an elder in the clan.

This document was originally reserved for Song Yuye. He was afraid that Song Yingbai would not believe it, so he gave it to him. After all, he is not an ordinary person. He entered Jinyiwei's door to see the evidence.

Song Yingbai only felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, and he was uncomfortable because he couldn't get up and down. No wonder they behaved strangely from just now. It turned out that it was because he was adopted out.

No wonder the uncle looked at him like that, not his nephew, but his "son".

Song Yingbai put down the paperwork, looked up at his elder brother, then at his uncle, no, the father in name said with confused eyes, "I was adopted?"

Song Yingfei immediately said: "You should be happy. Uncle is a high-ranking official in the capital, and you will have protection in the future. Also, don't get me wrong, you are adopted because of my brothers, you are the best, the third Wanting to be my uncle's son, and flattering me every day, my uncle never considered him at all."

The uncle had no children, so he was adopted as his son, not to mention the benefits of his life, as long as he waits for a hundred years, all his property will belong to this adopted son, and the inheritance of the family property is unimaginable.

But if he stays with his biological father, he has to share the family property equally with the other brothers, which is not much at all, and even less.

In fact, Song Yingfei knew that his youngest brother was not such a greedy person, so he was worried that he would have resistance.

But the fact of adoption can't be changed, it's a done deal, try to give the younger brother some benefits.

If Song Yingbai was a little impulsive at home in the early years, then when he entered the city, especially after the baptism of the past half a year, he was much more stable.

The matter has already happened, even if he puts on his face and disobeys now, it can't change anything. On the contrary, his uncle is a member of the imperial court, so it is impossible to become stiff.

At this time, Song Yuye pinched his beard, looked at Song Yingbai with a smile, remained silent, and waited for Song Yingbai's own reaction.

Song Yingbai hesitated for a while, then put down the paperwork, got up and walked to Song Yuye, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down in front of him, "My son pays homage to Father." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed.

Song Yuye showed a big smile, and bent over to help Song Yingbai up, "Good boy, get up quickly, the ground is so cold."

Song Yingfei breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, it went well, originally thought that his younger brother was stubborn, and worried that he would be a little emotional.

Song Yuye helped Song Yingbai to the table, and said happily: "I also have a son, and I don't have to worry about no one offering sacrifices after death."

"Father, you are in good health, and your life expectancy is more than 80 years old." With a stranger who suddenly became a father-son relationship, Song Yingbai tried his best to play the role of a son well.

"Oh, it can't be done. I have bad health from studying in the early years, and it has become worse and worse in the past few years. I don't know how long this servant of the household department will be able to work." Song Yuye said: "I originally wanted to serve as governor, but I have been an official all my life, but it is always a pity not to be an official in the capital, and I heard that you were a Jinyiwei in the capital, so I came here."

At this time Song Yingfei said: "It's all right now, with Yingbai taking care of you, your health will definitely get better and better."

Song Yingbai echoed, "Brother is right. Come on, let me offer a toast to my father. I wish you good health and a longer life than Nanshan."

"Son is right, I drank this glass of wine for my father!" Song Yuye drank the sake, and then said: "I have already bought a house in the capital, you can move there tomorrow."

"I've been very busy recently... I'm afraid I won't have time until I take a rest in three days."

"Hey, silly boy, why bother to move? You can do it yourself. Tomorrow, just ask the housekeeper to move all the things here to the mansion. You can go straight to our new home after you release the office." Song Yuye said: "What do you think?"

Song Yingbai had no reason to refuse, "It's all up to my father."

"That's it."

After deciding to move tomorrow, the three drank a few more cups to cultivate their relationship, Song Yuye left and returned to live in his mansion, leaving Song Yingfei and others to stay at Song Yingbai's house that night.

Song Yingbai suffered from insomnia without accident that night. According to reason, this adoption is a great thing. His father is a servant of the household department and his father is a rich man in a small city. The impact on the future is not a little bit worse.

But he still felt uncomfortable that his future fate was being decided without his consent.

Moreover, the benefits that a new father can bring are indeed obvious, but who knows what kind of character this new father is, and whether he will get along well in the future.

His life became more and more complicated, Li Zhen, son-in-law, adoptive...

big head……

The next day, Song Yingbai was physically and mentally uncomfortable because he didn't sleep much all night, so he ate with a blank expression, said hello to his elder brother, and went out with Yao Lingyao.

Today, he didn't have to protect the son-in-law, he was supposed to go to Jinyiwei Yamen to work, but when he passed by a restaurant that was already open, he hesitated at the door, and strode in.

He patted a piece of silver on the counter: "Yajian, serve me the strongest wine!"

Seeing Song Yingbai's attire, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say no, and he didn't dare to criticize the dog he was leading, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Please come to the second floor." It just so happened that we recently brought in a batch of wine from a merchant from the Raksha Kingdom, and it was really drunk after just one sip."

He sat in the private room and took out another piece of silver, "If you have any good dishes, just serve them, and the wine should be the strongest!"

Because it was morning, there were no other diners besides him, and the food and drink came very quickly.

The wine was colorless and tasteless, and it looked very inconspicuous. Song Yingbai just wanted to drink a few glasses to relax and relax, so he took a sip.

After taking this sip, I felt a burning sensation all the way from my throat to my chest cavity.

"...Okay, enough!" Song Yingbai slapped the table and took another sip.

If there is any bad emotion, there is only one way to solve it - hold back.

Just like facing Li Zhen, the other party was nervous, dissatisfied, right? Hold back.

His father adopted him to his uncle whom he had never met, so if he didn't want to, he had to hold back.

Anyway, no one considered his emotions and thoughts, and they could do whatever they wanted with him.

All he can do is drink in here.

Seeing that his cheeks were flushed from drinking, Yao Lingyao worriedly bit the hem of his clothes, signaling him to stop drinking.

Song Yingbai pointed at it, "Gouzai, don't you like to bite calendars? Come on, I'll give you money, go buy almanacs and play around, don't bother me here anymore." He touched his body, it didn't matter, only to realize , The two pieces of silver I had on my body were all given to the shopkeeper just now.

This is troublesome, can't checkout.

Song Yingbai didn't like to pay on credit, so he said to Yao Lingyao: "...you go to my office...there is money in the drawer, you take it, come back quickly...don't go home to get it, you know?!" I don't want to disturb my brother , Let the other party know that he is here drinking.

Yao Lingyao felt helpless for the drunkard, and went downstairs while shaking his head.

And Song Yingbai drank until his cheeks were flushed, and poured himself another glass in a daze.

-

Li Zhen knew what it meant to be self-confessed. There were bloodstains on the documents Song Yingbai submitted, but he didn't mention the injury at all, which made Li Zhen very worried.

It's a pity that there is nothing to worry about. I said at the beginning that Song Yingbai was not allowed to come to see him, so I don't know how injured he is, and I am too embarrassed to send my subordinates to inquire, so I can only feel depressed.

In this way, from the day when I received Song Yingbai's paper, I was irritable until night, and from night to early morning.

After breakfast, he asked the servant girl to put on the flying fish suit, the luan belt, and the black gauze hat, and he went out with a sullen face.

When he was passing by the narrow alley, he saw the housekeeper slapping a little girl, she slapped her face, and then slapped her backhand again, which made the little girl in her teens shed tears, but she didn't dare to cry. , Li Zhen happened to pass by, and looked at him timidly, as if asking for help.

"You still dare to look around!" Seeing Li Zhen passing by, Mammy didn't dare to be rough in front of him, and gave the little maid a straight look.

Duke Jing's mansion is notoriously lenient to his servants, especially Li Zhen, who is used to bloody torture, is even more unwilling to punish people at home, so he asked dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong?"

"Master, this little maid hid needles in her quilt, and even accused the other two maids who lived with her of doing it. After being exposed, she still refused to admit it. In a fit of anger, this old slave taught her a lesson."

Li Zhen said: "Okay, stop beating, if you don't behave well, don't let her serve you in the inner house."

"No, Master." When the little girl heard that she was going to be sent to the outer courtyard, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yuhong was originally a friend of this servant, but when Luzhu came, she got along with her, and it was all because of that girl Luzhu." Picking up trouble in the middle! By the way, she said more than once in front of others that she doesn't like slaves and thinks that slaves like to grab jobs and show off, and now the two of them are united to run on slaves, and it is slaves who are framed."

Mammy picked up the servant girl from the ground, "You girl, how can the young master have the time to talk about your nonsense, why don't you just shut up."

Unexpectedly, when Li Zhen heard the word "like", she was startled suddenly, "She said she doesn't like you? Then you... like her?"

Although the servant girl didn't know what Li Zhen meant, she immediately defended herself, "This servant girl doesn't like her either. She came and snatched away my servant girl's original friend Yuhong. Yuhong was originally the best friend with this servant girl. The needles were set, but in the end they beat them back, saying that the slaves set them up by themselves, and wanted to frame them."

Li Zhen was startled, he thought he thought of something, "...you like your friend Yuhong, and then Luzhu came and snatched your friend away...so you hate her."

The little maid kept nodding.

It was like a mirror covered in water mist. At this moment, the water mist on it was brushed off, revealing the originally bright and clean mirror surface, and Li Zhen suddenly became transparent.

Yes, he likes Song Yingbai, but this little girl also likes her friend Yuhong.

It must be so, he regards Song Yingbai as his first friend, and it is inevitable that he will find Song Yingbai's other friends, such as Cheng Dongyi, displeased.

This little girl is only in her early ten years, so it is unlikely that the word "like" has other meanings.

It's all because of his two chattering followers who gave him bad hints, and he has no friends since he was a child, so he doesn't know what it's like to have a friend he likes. hobby.

In fact, that's not the case at all. When you choose someone to be your friend, of course you have to choose someone you like.

Yes, yes, it must be, and friends can be jealous of each other too.

He didn't have anything to Song Yingbai at all, he was hinted at, and then he was wrong.

It's all Zhao Chong's fault, talking nonsense, disturbing his mind, the culprit is him, even if his wife gives birth, don't come back.

Like a newborn, Li Zhen said to the nanny, "Look into this matter carefully, don't wrong people." After speaking, he felt refreshed and went out happily.

After struggling for so many days, at this moment, my mood is finally smooth, and I can't help feeling refreshed.

In this case, there is no need to hide from Song Yingbai... Ah, no, let Song Yingbai avoid himself.

Isn't he injured? Just go and see him with confidence.

But before reaching the Jinyiwei Yamen, Li Zhen saw Song Yingbai's ugly black-spotted dog with something in its mouth, walking leisurely on the road, in the opposite direction from the Yamen.

Li Zhen couldn't help but wonder, Song Yingbai always took this dog by his side, so why is it just wandering outside by itself.

Li Zhen let his followers go in first, turned his horse's head around, and followed the dog to see what was going on.

-

Song Yingbai supported his head with one hand, continued to pour the wine with the other, and drank it down in one gulp. The wine was so hot that he almost shed tears, but let alone, he felt much happier after drinking so much alcohol.

The feeling of depression has been relieved a lot, the crazy Li Zhen, the son-in-law who will be questioned if he doesn't protect well, the new father who suddenly appeared...

Fuck him all!

At this moment, he heard movement at the door, looked back, and saw Yao Lingyao walking in with silver in his mouth.

It spit out the silver on the ground, spit several times, and then looked at Song Yingbai with a face of "why are you still drinking".

"You...don't look at me like that...just this time...I've been worrying too much lately...just this time..." Song Yingbai muttered to himself in a daze while propping his forehead.

He felt that the things around him were getting farther and farther away from him, and his head became more and more dizzy. At the moment when he was drunk, he felt that someone had entered the room. He tried to open his eyes and saw a corner of the big red flying fish suit.

He lifted his heavy head and looked up, it was Li Zhen, who was so frightened that he sobered up by three points, but because he was really drunk, three points went away, and there was still seven points left, still drunk.

Part of the reason why he came here to drink was because of Li Zhen. At this time, he came to arrest him for "running away from work". Song Yingbai just felt so bored that he didn't want to say a word.

But the part of my consciousness that was slightly awake told me not to say no, "...Master Li, I gave myself a holiday today..."

Seeing that he had no obvious trauma, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, sat next to him, and persuaded him, "You don't have to worry too much about the matter of Concubine Zhai, and I will investigate with you about the strange bird in a few days. Get to the bottom of it." He thought he was worried about Concubine Zhai's accident, that he would be implicated, and that he was under too much pressure to come here for a drink.

When Song Yingbai heard that Li Zhen was so kind, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Zhen didn't understand, "What are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at... I'm laughing at Mr. Li, you are normal again..." Song Yingbai poured the wine again, lowered his head and smiled mockingly, "But the next moment he will suddenly change his face again."

Because of his drunkenness, the skin around his eyes was rouge, as if he had cried.

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed, "It won't happen in the future."

Song Yingbai sighed, bowed his head and bit his lips, as if he was planning something, suddenly, he looked at Li Zhen sideways, grabbed his hand and greeted himself, "Please, if you don't like me, just hit me Come on, you can beat yourself to death, stop engaging in cold violence, I can't fucking take it anymore."

Li Zhen broke away from his hand. He was so drunk that he couldn't say anything clearly, so he took his wine glass, "You sober up before talking, go, go back."

"Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go, of course it is home, can I send you back like this to handle official business?"

"Which home do you want to go to?"

Li Zhen forcibly helped him up, "Stop talking nonsense, you drank too much."

"I won't go!" Song Yingbai broke free from his support angrily, grabbed Li Zhen's hand and beat himself, "Unless you beat me up, please, Mrs. Li, give me a good time, you beat me up After a meal, walk out of this door, let's settle the matter, okay?"

Li Zhen wrenched his hand out, "I won't hit you."

"Oh my God!" Song Yingbai hugged his head, "Please forgive me, the road is fine, since you returned to Beijing, you have always looked at me disliked, sometimes you stand up for me, sometimes you don't look right at me, and sometimes you come to my house for dinner , and leave after a while."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Zhen had no choice but to say: "I had a little misunderstanding before, but I figured it out this morning, and I promise it won't happen in the future, okay?"

Song Yingbai narrowed his eyes to look at him, "Really?"

Li Zhen nodded again and helped him go out, "Stop drinking, since you don't want to go home, let's find a place to sober up."

Song Yingbai walked with him unsteadily, and stretched out a finger to shake in front of Li Zhen, "We're reconciled, aren't we?"

"Yes, we're reconciled." Li Zhen pressed his finger down and led him out.

Song Yingbai suddenly grabbed the door and stopped moving, "I don't believe it."

Li Zhen thought for a while, grabbed his two arms and put them on her shoulders, "You carried me before, now I carry you, we are really reconciled!"

Being carried on someone's back is indeed easier than walking by oneself, Song Yingbai leaned on his back, lowered his head, and murmured: "...Yes, we actually had a revolutionary friendship..."

Seeing that he stopped struggling, Li Zhen went downstairs with his back on his back.
