It wasn't like this in my last life

The people who came to report the funeral took letters from the sixth generation of the Song Dynasty, and among them was Ah Fu, who used to serve the eighth generation of the Song Dynasty. , It's the third young master, not the second young master.Ah Fu is stupid, but his master insisted that he was right. As soon as he arrived at the Duke's mansion, he immediately asked Song Badai to see him.

The disciples of the Duke's Mansion received the instructions from Duke Lu, and submitted a letter to them for delivery.Ah Fu shook his head, determined to hand it over with his own hands.People from both parties started a quarrel, and Song Badai, who happened to be leaving the mansion, bumped into each other.

Well, I can't hide it now.

Ah Fu was very happy, and when he saw him open his throat, he howled, "Master, I am Ah Fu, Eldest Young Master asked me to come to you, madam, madam, she is gone."

If Song Badai didn't know his own life experience yet, Song Badai probably took the letter and went to Song Xi. His first reaction was definitely to worry about his second brother's sadness, not for Li's passing away.It's just that there are no ifs in the world. Song Badai opened the letter tremblingly, and tears came out after reading it.

"Three young masters?"

Ah Fu saw his young master going crazy and rushed back, and after a while, he rode out from the corner gate and galloped all the way.Ah Fu followed behind, "Third Young Master, wait for me..."

Song Dan, who had just entered the door, happened to see this scene, and pulled the doorman to ask, his heart skipped a beat when he heard it.Went into the mansion to find Song Xi's servant Quanxi, "Where's your master?"

Quan Xi was taken aback, "Master...is still in the palace and hasn't come back."

Song Dan explained him concisely.He conveyed it, as to whether to go back or not, it was up to Song Xi himself.

Song Badai's side waited for Ah Fu to delay for a while, but fortunately Ah Fu had a good sense of the road and did not encounter any trouble along the way.Along the way, eating and sleeping in the open, sometimes Song Badai would sleep for two hours a day, and when he closed his eyes, he would see Mrs. Li waving to him.In just a few days, the plumpness that had been raised for several months was gone, and there was a heavy shadow under his eyes.

"It's here, young master, we're almost there."

There were too many people in the city, and the horses were not easy to run. Song Badai jumped down and ran wildly all the way.Song's gate was getting closer and closer, and he came down while running and crying.

The gate of the Song family was not closed, and the eighth generation of the Song Dynasty appeared every time, attracting all the maids and boys to come out to look, muttering in secret, saying anything, "Why is it the third young master who came back? The second young master...will not recognize his relatives after adopting Are you a girl?"

"What are you arguing about? I want to be kicked out—" Song Liudai's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at Song Badai in front of him firmly, "Third brother, you are back, you are finally back!" He rushed forward and hugged him. Lived in the eighth generation of the Song Dynasty, and then wailed loudly, "Mother, my brother is back, he is back to see you... Open your eyes and see, he is back..."

With a sharp tug, Song Liudai dragged Song Badai to the mourning hall, "Mother, mother, Xiao Ba is here to see you."

On the huge mourning hall, Li's coffin is still here. Song and Six Dynasties opened the coffin lid, and Li's complexion was black and black, and he had already begun to smell.In order to wait for Song Badai to come back, Song Liudai guarded the coffin all day and night and would not let anyone approach him. The old lady scolded him and Father Song beat him, but he just refused to let anyone get out of the coffin.

"My mother wanted to see my brother before she left, and he will come back, definitely."

Song Badai became hoarse, bent his knees, knelt down and kowtowed, "Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety, he didn't come back in time..." For the first time in his life, he called her mother sincerely, and unexpectedly It is above her mourning hall.

Song Liudai wiped away his tears, and came over to hold Song Badai, his forehead was already bleeding. "Xiaoba, it's not your fault. They kept it from you and didn't want you to know. Get up and burn incense for mother. Let's keep vigil for mother tonight, and we will come out of the coffin tomorrow. I can win your heads, mother You can go away in peace."

Song Badai was dizzy, and was helped up by Song Liudai, who offered three sticks of incense to Mrs. Li.At this moment, he still couldn't understand why Shi Li left suddenly. Didn't Second Aunt Song Wanqing say that she was fine?

"Brother, why did mother... why did she leave suddenly?"

"My mother has been ill since years ago. When you came back that time, she probably saw that you were well. She was relieved and her body looked better. Later, I don't know who was the one who broke his mouth and told my mother about you in Jiangnan. No, she fell ill again as soon as she heard it."

Speaking of this, Song Liudai was startled, "I wrote many family letters and Song Xi, but he didn't tell you?"

Song and Eight Dynasties were silent.

Song Liudai punched hard, "It's not a thing!"

"You bastard, the Fifth Prince is someone you can insult?!" Father Song had heard the commotion inside and didn't dare to come in. After driving away all the servants who were watching the fun outside, he listened to the commotion for a long time, and saw The inside calmed down, and then I paced in.As soon as he looked up, he saw the glaring scarlet on Song Badai's forehead, and he couldn't bear it, "I don't want to bandage it yet. Your mother knows what you want, that's enough."

Song Liudai snorted coldly, "My father knows my mother's heart, but I don't understand. Before my mother left, I wanted to see Xiaoba. Why did my father turn a deaf ear to it?"

"Disobedient, are you questioning me?" The guilt in Song Qianqian's heart disappeared in an instant, "You really think..."

"Father, this is in front of mother's spirit. Do you want her to go away in an unsafe manner?" Song Badai put on a stiff face, and turned around to change into the white clothes that Ah Fu sent. His whole face was as white as the clothes on his body.

Song Qianqian finally held back what he said, and only hummed twice, "Sit down with your grandmother later, she has something to tell you." After speaking, she shook her sleeves and planned to leave, and then watched the two mourning I couldn't help but get angry again, "I'll change this clothes when the time comes, there's no bad luck."

Song Liudai was so angry that his face turned pale.

Song Badai patted him, "It's useless to be idle. Brother, I don't know many things. Tell me, our mother..."

Song Liudai immediately vented his anger, "Xiaoba, I know you blame yourself for not catching up, but you are the most innocent one in this matter. Don't blame your mother, what mother in the world is willing to let you Her child suffers, and she is absolutely unwilling. But you have seen in our family, the mother has no control over her, the father... the father listens to the grandmother in everything, and our grandmother...haha, that has great ambitions. "

"Xiaoba, my mother is suffering. Every time I wanted to give you something, I was afraid that my grandmother would see it, and I would give it to you. Mother Li didn't know that she always gave you a hard time at the beginning, and my mother felt sorry for you. You have to tell her about it secretly. That's when I hid in the house and secretly heard it. "

What he said, Song Badai also remembered it intermittently. Once, Li's mother gave him some rare snacks behind everyone's back. He was passing by the old lady when he was about to eat. Li's mother immediately knocked over the plate and said again. The old lady heard some harsh words and gave her a scolding.

When Song Badai was young, he always thought that Li's mother wanted to embarrass him on purpose, but he didn't expect that there was another reason behind it.

Song and Six Dynasties are still rambling, "My mother didn't let you learn to read, because she was afraid of bringing you disaster. In front of outsiders, she never dared to speak for you..."

Song Badai's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he didn't even have the strength to shake his head, "I really don't blame her, brother. And I remember, my mother said something for me, do you remember, I was seven years old that year, right? It was the first time I went back to my grandfather's house to celebrate her birthday. Because of my second sister, Li Meiniang was upset and called me "a bastard raised by my aunt, born to be unworthy of the stage". At that time, my mother suddenly became angry with her. I was I think... my mother thinks that I have been wronged... so it's not an illusion."

Both brothers laughed, with a bit of bitterness and nostalgia.

"Where's the eldest sister?" Song Badai suddenly thought of the eldest sister, Song Xiniang.

Song Liudai smiled wryly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time." After a short pause, he suddenly said, "Xiao Ba, I have never married, but I am afraid that one day my wife and children will be at the mercy of others. I will get married, But not now, at least until I am strong enough to protect them."

enough power?Song Badai nodded slowly.

At this time, the nanny next to the old lady walked in and blessed her, "Third young master, old lady, please go over and talk."

Song Liudai glared at her, Song Badai shook his head, "Yu Li, I should be the younger generation's past." He patted Song Liudai on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the situation in Beijing has been settled, and I am no longer of any use." Even if there is, it depends on whether he is willing or not.

The old lady's Yu Jingtang is still the same.

Seeing him, the old lady waved her hand, "Sit down and talk." After waving back, the old lady said: "Back then you were only a few months behind the fifth prince born by your empress, and you were still thinner. , in order to protect the fifth prince, we had to replace you."

Seeing Song Badai's indifferent face, the old lady sighed again, "Originally, I only planned to wait for him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, so that you can return to the Song family, but I don't want the court situation to be critical. I am worried about the safety of the fifth prince today, so I am going down here." If we are ordered to keep our mouths shut, this drama can only go on forever. Grandma knows that you have resentment in your heart, so I have made an agreement with the Duke of the country. Once the fifth prince recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan, you will inherit the Duke of Lu. It can be regarded as your compensation."

Song Badai raised his head, "I understand, so the grandmother sent Aqiao's cousin to the capital to go to Mrs. Yipin of the Duke's Mansion. Is the grandson wrong?"

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and then said after a while: "Ah Qiao and you are cousins, your second aunt is not easy, if you can marry her and kiss her, it will be considered as a help to your second aunt. Grandma does this, I just hope you all are doing well.”

Song Badai chuckled, "Grandmother is very strategic. But after seeing what happened to my mother, my grandson dare not let my grandma worry about me anymore. As for the position of grandson in Lu Guogong's mansion, grandma can give it to whoever she wants, and grandson asks himself if there is no such thing Good luck. If there is nothing else, grandson will leave first."

When Song Badai walked a long way, he could still hear the sound of throwing plates behind him in the Jingtang.
