It wasn't like this in my last life

Because of what happened the first night, Song Wenfei immediately became famous in the Duke's Mansion, and everywhere he went, people were courteous and courteous.Many children of the Song family gathered together because they started to learn etiquette, and there were many people who talked about it.Song Wenfei was very distressed by this, and slept in the empty wing room next to Song Qidai several times in order to escape.If it wasn't for Song Qidai's insistence, he would have shared a bed with the two of them.

Fortunately, the relationship between the three of them was not affected by the gossip from the outside world. They still went in and out together. When they went to school, they called Song Lian, and they were like four tyrants in the capital.

The etiquette class was a bit difficult. Due to time constraints, the master did not teach much, and focused on the three rituals-"Rituals of Pilgrimage", "Rituals of Meeting" and "Rituals of Meeting".As far as these three items are concerned, the amount of red tape in them has already caused headaches for the children of the Song family who were born in the countryside. Even Song and Eight Dynasties, who are very good at memorizing memoirs, sometimes make mistakes in their memorization.

Of course, it was not this that caused Song and Eight Dynasties the most pain, but learning swordsmanship, riding and shooting kung fu.Song and Eight Dynasties started to wobble after sticking a stick of incense in a horse step, white and tender fingers rubbed a few bubbles, it has been three days since the deadly riding and shooting, and the mare still refused to let him go up .

What about being meek and obedient? !

Song Badai felt the deep malice from all the horses in the Duke's Mansion.

Contrary to him, Song Qidai was like a duck to water in his studies.He is already good at reading and writing, and those etiquettes are just as easy as picking things out of a pocket for him.What is even more impressive to him is that his talent in martial arts is no less than the former.In just a few days, he has been able to ride a horse-drawn bow with ease, shooting nine out of ten shots.

Lu Guogong was a military commander, and many of the soldiers he invited to teach them were his former soldiers, all of whom had fought on the battlefield with their heads tied to their belts. Naturally, they didn't pay attention to the small troubles of the Song family's children. , but surprisingly, all of them praised the Song and Qi Dynasties.

Song Badai secretly suspected that they did this at the behest of the Duke.

However, it is undeniable that among the children of the Song family, Song Qidai is the most dazzling. Unlike Song Wenfei, who became famous by relying on his "face", Song Qidai's strength is obvious to all.

The days of study are boring, but fortunately Song Badai can handle it according to the current study progress, he doesn't want to be the first one to be brushed off at all.Soon, half a month passed, and the primary election officially began. It was divided into two days of examinations, answering papers on the first day, and the school etiquette examination by the ceremonial mother on the second day.

It was only two days after the exam, and the results of the primary election came out very quickly. Before everyone could react, they saw Song Rong, the housekeeper behind the nanny who taught etiquette, and several witnesses Zong Bo.

"The Duke of the State has not yet returned to the manor, and he only confirmed the results of the primary election through letters. Now the Zongbos are witnesses, and I will announce the list of candidates."

Without explaining, nor accepting excuses, Song Rong announced the list on the paper according to the script, and added: "If the young masters who have not entered the primary election choose to stay, all expenses will remain the same, and the ethnology will be opened in half a month, but as usual Go to school and study; if you want to leave, the Duke's Mansion will send guards to escort you all the way back."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling unreal.

Song Badai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed the test without insulting the old Song family's reputation.

Song Qidai and Song Wenfei were naturally on the list. Song Lian was not selected, but he was in a surprisingly good mood, and he seemed out of place among the moaning teenagers.Fearing that he would provoke criticism again, Song Qidai and others dragged him back to the wing as soon as the housekeeper and Zongbo left.

The four of them sat around the stove, Quanxi got them a small boiler, cut the leg of lamb and put it in the pan, and stewed it in a slow fire until it turned milky white, then threw the other meat dishes down and ate them hot .The weather is a bit cold, so it is best to eat like this, which warms the stomach and warms the stomach.

Quietly closing the door, Quanxi led his servants to guard the outside, not letting others approach.

The four people in the room didn't care about eating etiquette, and chatted while eating.

Song Lian's mouth was burning red, but he still ate with gusto, "The food here is much better than ours." They saw that the servings were the same, and each meal had three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, but There is a big difference in terms of materials and taste.

Song Wenfei raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you leave, you can live with me in the future."

Song Lian shook his head in fright, "No, no, I'm worried about my medicinal materials. Those things are precious, and it won't work if you water them too much or too little. I have to go back and look at them."

Song Badai looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't lose the election on purpose because of this, did you?" Seeing how he mentioned that those medicinal materials are as precious as his lifeblood, this is really possible.

Song Lian smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

Song Qidai came out to smooth things over, "Okay, everyone has their own aspirations. But once you leave, I don't know when we will see you next time. I will finish this cup of tea instead of wine, and I will have a long way to go in the future. Syria."

The melancholy of parting was suddenly replaced by lofty aspirations, and everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.Song Lian wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "When I bring the medicine house to the capital, I will ask you to drink three hundred cups."

"Okay!" Song Wenfei laughed loudly, "At that time, I will definitely be named on the gold list, and I will wait for you to grab the wine."

The three of them enjoyed a practical banquet, and Song Lian went back to pack his luggage. He had already decided to leave tomorrow, so everything should be packed in advance.As soon as Song Lian left, Song Wenfei followed him back.These days, the old matriarch would invite him to talk every day, and it seems that the time is about the same today.

Song Qidai ordered Quanxi to open all the windows of the house, and the smell of sheep in the house was dispersed.After the two of them washed and changed into clean clothes, Song Qidai went out for a trip, and when he came back, he waved to Song Badai mysteriously as soon as he entered the door.

"A letter from home."

Song Badai lost all sleepiness, and immediately got up from the bed and stretched his neck to look over.The letter was written by their elder brother Song Liudai, the handwriting is so ugly, but at this time, Song Qidai and Song Badai only felt kind, holding three big sheets of paper and carefully flipping through them.

"Everything is fine at home, my grandmother is in good health, my third sister and fourth brother can all stand up... Ah, the eldest sister gave birth to a boy, and we are now uncles!" More information was pulled out from inside, "Brother said that although my little nephew was born prematurely and thinner, he was brought back in half a month, and he also said that he looks very similar to him when he was a child..." Little nephew, who do you look like? , just like a meat bun? !

Song Qidai has already watched it once, but he is not bored at all. He listened to Song Badai with a smile on his face. That's right, it's the young master of the Fan family in Fengtian City, the one who opened the medicine house."

Song Badai suddenly remembered what Xinghua said, and hurriedly turned to the last page to read carefully, "The wedding is set for next month? So soon?" Song Badai counted with his fingers. It has only been more than three months, and so many things have happened at home.

For a moment, the two felt the emotion of "there is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the cold is so cold that we don't know the year".

After reading the letter back and forth several times, the two of them folded the letter and put it in the box with great care. Seeing that the sun was still early, Song Qidai asked Quanxi to cut the wick of the oil lamp and light the lamp. Brighten it up a bit, turn your head and suggest: "Let's write a letter back to our family."

Song Badai nodded again and again, both of them wanted to write, but after arguing, they finally decided to write their own, and then just send them back together.There were thousands of words in their hearts, but they were speechless when they reached the tip of the pen. The two raised their pens, looking at each other. After a moment of silence, they still moved to write together.

"Report to grandma and them that they are safe first." Song Badai took the lead in writing.

The Song and Seven Dynasties felt sorry for their wrists, and they were given the advantage. "Then let me tell them about Song Wenfei. They must not believe that there are such similar people in the world."

The two discussed for a long time, and each wrote two big sheets.Don't compare it with Song Qidai, Song Badai's handwriting is still good, juicy, elegant, and clear, just like him.The two family letters were merged into one, sealed with wax and sent out by the servants.Both of them breathed a sigh of relief after finishing this matter, and began to look forward to the arrival of the next letter from home.

Days pass faster with anticipation.

Song Badai's hard work finally moved the mare, and she was willing to carry him for a lap, and sometimes she would run for a short distance when she was in a good mood.After Song Badai fooled the horse riding, shooting became a little troublesome—he couldn't draw the bow at all.The masters didn't force it, anyway, the practice is in the individual, and a little white fat bun like Song Badai can ride around on a big horse is enough to surprise them. They once thought that he would hold the reins and run behind during the competition.

Song Badai also felt that it was almost the same, so take it slowly, anyway, he will not be able to pass in the end, and it doesn't make much difference which level is cleared.His current goal is to grow taller, taller, taller.

Song Wenfei is a little weird these days.This person's feelings are all out of place, he gets along with the old matriarch every day, and the old matriarch loves him like a grandson, she is so earnestly hoping that he can become the heir of the Duke's mansion.Being so loved, trusted, and looking forward to by the supreme old lady of the Duke's Mansion, even the clay figurines have the temperament to strive upward. Anticipate and start working hard.

Song Wenfei has no problem with his homework, but in terms of martial arts, even if he flatters him, he can't keep up with Song Qidai.Probably feeling the pressure, Song Wenfei has avoided seeing them these days, practicing hard secretly by himself.

In addition to Song Qidai and Song Wenfei, there was another named Song Dan who also attracted the attention of Song Badai.This person is not as good as the previous two in reading and calligraphy, but he seems to be born with supernatural power, capable of carrying a tripod, and he is also good at riding and archery. The master who teaches martial arts praised him as "extraordinarily good in root and bones, and he is the material for martial arts." .
