illegitimate child

When Song Ling came out of the old lady's yard, he wouldn't go directly to pay respects to Mrs. Tian. He would go back to his own yard or read a book or practice calligraphy. When the pointer on the hollowed-out enamel clock on the wall pointed to the quarter past, Lord Luo had almost finished kneeling. Start from Qizhuyuan to Tian's yard.

The Tian family didn't want to see him, and Song Ling knew which mistress would like an illegitimate child. He was still a nine-year-old illegitimate child. It would be magnanimous not to wear small shoes for him.

The mistress of another family might have been thinking about how to kill him, an unsightly little bastard. The mistress of the high school and deep courtyard has a lot of tricks. If you really meet the sweetheart above, Song Ling, the little ant, can do it with a little finger Press to die.

Although Tian didn't see him, she didn't feel sorry for him. Song Ling knows good and bad.

He stood at the gate of the courtyard, stood upright, saluted meticulously, and then bowed and retreated.

Zisu picked up the door curtain to watch, waited for Song Ling to go away and put down the door curtain, lit an oil lamp and put it on the small table on the couch, and said, "My lady, Song Ling is here again."

Wearing only his underwear, Tian half-lyed on the couch, took a military book in his hand and turned the pages from time to time, without raising his head, he replied: "He knows the rules."

"There's no need for him to be hypocritical." Zi Su whispered.

Seeing Tian's silence, Zisu couldn't help but said: "I know you're sad, but it's not a good idea not to go out like this. The master is partial. If you have a young son, you will forget about our young master. If you don't go out, then Song Ling They can even climb on top of the young master."

Tian's hand that turned the page paused, she raised her eyes to look at Zisu, and said in a stern tone, "Zisu, who is at fault in this matter, you and I know in our hearts, don't blame a child, since the beginning of Jinnian, ten Three, there is no need for me to worry about everything for him."

His tone softened, and he patted Zisu's hand: "I know what to do, and I will go out when it's time to go out."

Zisu's eyes were sore, and she choked up, and said: "That Luo Qingshan said nicely back then, but now he humiliates the lady so much, slave, slave, I really want to stab him a few times to vent my anger on the lady."

Mrs. Tian smiled when she heard her outrageous words: "If you want to stab it, I will stab it, your wife. Zisu will help me cover it up so that my father won't find out."

Zi Su burst into laughter immediately.

When Song Ling returned to the yard, Jiaozi was standing at the door waiting for him, holding a fox fur cloak in his hand. Seeing Song Ling from a distance, he hurriedly came up to him and bent down to put it on Song Ling. He moved his hands gently and complained: " Young master, why did you go out in so little clothes again? The fifth lady said that you are too weak to catch the cold, why didn't you listen to my advice. "

Song Ling smiled helplessly, and then heard Jiaozi say, "Fifth Madam is here, and she is waiting for you to bring something for the young master."

"Fifth aunt is here?" Song Ling didn't dawdle any longer, and hurried inside after Jiaozi put on the cloak for him, he didn't want to keep the elders waiting.

Bai Shi was holding a cup of tea and sipping it carefully, when she heard the footsteps, she recognized the person coming, she put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Ling'er, run slowly, you may fall carefully."

"Why is Fifth Aunt free to visit my nephew today?"

Every time Bai sees Song Ling's young but immature appearance, she can't help laughing, and makes a gasp from her throat, "Your fourth aunt asked me to bring you something, the Wang's caravan just came back from the sea." There are a lot of good things, and I chose a few rare things to bring to you."

It was only then that Song Ling noticed that there were two sandalwood boxes on the table next to Mrs. Bai, and he said with a stern face, "Aunt Lao, please worry."

Since Song Ling came to Luo's house, even the small storeroom was almost full of rare treasures sent into the courtyard. Song Ling also became accustomed to it from being anxious at the beginning, and even thought blankly that the storeroom was full of things that should be done. Where to put things is a real headache.

The enamel clock imported from the Western Regions hanging on the wall in the study was sent by my fourth aunt. It is said that it is a first-class precious thing. There are only five in the entire Li Dynasty, three in the palace, one in Song Ling's study, The remaining one was originally at Luo Jinnian's place, but now it's a pile of rubble and he doesn't know where he threw it.

Song Ling finally knew where Luo Jinnian's arrogance and extravagance came from. After all, it had something to do with this wealthy fifth aunt.

The ladies of the Luo family all have some background.

The old lady’s boudoir name is Song Ningshuang. Song Zaili’s surname was the surname of the country, and the old lady’s status is even more precious. Her father, King Anle, is the half-brother of Emperor Yongshun. Emperor Yongshun can be regarded as the great-grandfather of today. , the old Prince Anle has a weak heir, and only the old lady is a prostitute. Song Ningshuang is also the princess of Yongfu personally appointed by Emperor Yongshun.Because the old prince had no children, he picked an heir from among the children of the same clan whose parents died early, and this was also the one who inherited the throne. Since the old concubine passed away, the old majesty has cut off contact with the Anle Palace. In short, now The Anle Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with the General's Mansion.

The eldest lady is an orphan girl. She was originally the daughter of a county magistrate in a small town near the junction of Di Rong and Li Dynasty. Later, the small town was slaughtered by Di Rong people. Uncle Luo was ordered to investigate the situation. The only survivor, Ji Yujin, was found in the ruins and sea of ​​blood, and brought back to Luo's house.Since Uncle Luo died on the battlefield of Di Rong five years ago, she built a small Buddhist hall in her courtyard and burned incense every day to worship the Buddha. Song Ling only saw him once at a family banquet.

The second wife, Mrs. Du, is the daughter of a subordinate of Lord Hou.

The third wife, who is now the mistress of the house, has a surname of Tian Dan and a Wan character, and is the daughter of Tian Guogong.

There are now two major confidantes in the Li Dynasty, Di Rong, who is eyeing a tiger in the north, and the evil, who has ulterior motives in the west.

The Dirong people were nomadic, and they were divided into different tribes. Each tribe has its own exclusive totem. No matter which dynasty or generation it is, it is a serious problem for the people of the Central Plains. The surrounding areas of the Li Dynasty were plundered wantonly. In order to survive, Di Rong's soldiers were all extremely brave and unstoppable.

Every invasion will bring immeasurable losses to the Li Dynasty. Perhaps the one who pays the most attention to the condition of the water and grass on the northern grasslands is the Li Dynasty, except for the Dirong people. There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between these two ethnic groups, unless the Li Dynasty is willing to open the door. It is obviously impossible to allocate part of the fertile territory to the Dijon people, and there is only one road left between the two.

Ji is really the name of a country. It used to be a small country in the Western Regions. The citizens mostly relied on business for a living. The relationship with the Li Dynasty was not good, but it was not too bad. Until a large number of vicious people came from all over the world because of various reasons. The reasons for fleeing to the Western Regions, the addition of outsiders brought advanced technology, but also brought ambition.The Western Regions are not as fertile as the Central Plains, and the precious water resources are inexhaustible. They can't even compare with Di Rong.

At any rate, Di Rong has endless grasslands, cattle and sheep, what do they have?There is only yellow sand all over the sky, and the ever-changing bad weather. Like Di Rong, he is also attracted to Li Chao's fat, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite.

General Zhen Guo guards Di Rong, Duke Tian Guo guards Ji Zhen. Unlike the Luo family who is stationed in Shangjing, the Tian family guards the power struggle in Yuanjing on the border of the Western Regions all year round.

Because of the in-law relationship between the Tian Luo family and the outside world, they are regarded as a family, and the Tian Luo family together control almost half of the military force of the Li Dynasty. If they have two minds, they don't need to do it themselves, as long as they withdraw from the border, let Di Rong and the fierce army drive straight into the country and overthrow it in an instant.

The fourth wife, Wang's boudoir name is Wang Qingdai, and her family is the world-renowned No. [-] royal merchant. The Wang family are all experts in business and settlement. They have built business roads from Dirong to Jizhen in the north, and they have done business well. , Even at sea, they have their fleets, and the gold and silver they bring back every year are as high as mountains. There are folk rumors that one-third of the wealth in the world is in the Wang family.

The annual income that the Wang family brings to the Li Dynasty treasury is even more astronomical. Song Ling also heard a gossip from Dumpling.

Nowadays, there are countless corrupt officials in the court, and the annual military expenses are exploited layer by layer, and there are not a few money left in the hands of the soldiers. The annual military expenses of the Tian and Luo families are actually paid by the Wang family.

Song Ling was speechless, no wonder Lord Luo's status in the general's mansion was so low, eating other people's food and using other people's food, no one would be hardened.

The fifth wife, Bai Qi, is the daughter of the Bai family in Liuzhou, Jiangnan. The Bai family is a famous medical family. Runs a medical clinic called Jishengtang.

"Ling'er, come here and I'll take your pulse," Bai said to Song Ling with a smile.

Dumpling swiftly moved a chair from the room and placed it opposite Bai Shi, Song Ling responded, and sat on the chair with her robe lifted.

He is really short, a small man sitting on a chair with his feet hanging in the air, but he is acting serious, Bai finally couldn't help chuckling, leaned forward and pinched Song Ling's soft tofu-like face , Angrily said: "Fortunately, there is no mark on his face. When we grow up, we Ling'er will fascinate so many girls. If Luo Jinnian's bastard leaves a mark, let's see if my aunt will take his skin off."

Song Ling felt the touch on his face, and didn't know what expression to make was the right one. Lady Song, let alone being close to him, was not willing to even give him a look. The closest she was to him was probably the day he left.Mr. Shi is a man, and he is treated as a free range, and he has never been so close.

He is used to other people's eyes of contempt, disdain, envy, respect, and hatred, but facing Bai's gentle and loving eyes, Song Ling is full of fear. He has received too little love, and now that he has received it all of a sudden, it makes him uneasy. Song Ling The body tensed even tighter.

Seeing his expression, Bai thought that he was not used to being close to people, so she withdrew her hand after a while and began to feel Song Ling's pulse.

"It's not a big problem, but you still have to be careful not to catch a cold." Bai said to Song Ling with a smile after taking his pulse.

Before leaving, he shouted, "Jiaozi, come here and I have something to tell you."

"Hey."

"Ling'er is still in poor health. I'll leave you a medicinal recipe. You can fry it twice a day. Come to me after eating enough for seven days."

"I have recorded the fifth lady."

"Take good care of the young master."

After Bai Shi left, Song Ling sat on a chair in the study room, with his hand resting on the side of his face, the soft touch of his fingertips remained on it, the corners of his mouth curled up, and there was a smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed.
