It wasn't like this in my last life

"Brother is here too!" Song Badai greeted dryly.

I was so focused on the two sisters just now that I didn't notice that Song Liudai was there.

Song Liudai nodded arrogantly.

Song Xiniang glared at him, then turned to talk to Song Badai, asking him if he was used to going to school, paper and pen were enough, and told him to study hard, not to be like Song Liudai.

Song Liudai was very upset at being humiliated by his sister, but Song Xiniang had accumulated power for a long time, so he could only hum a few times beside him.

Song Xiniang didn't talk nonsense with him, "Take the third brother to play well, don't bully him." After speaking, she took the maid and left.

Song Mo Niang was really tossed about today, and now she was sitting on a stone bench beside her and let the servant girl rub her legs, beckoning them to talk, "Are you going to study tomorrow?"

The two nodded, Song Mo Niang sighed, and said casually to Song Liudai: "I used to hear that you had a lot of contacts with the young masters of the Zhao family and the Su family, but now you have to study all the time, so you can't be free."

Song Badai's eyes twitched and he glanced at her.

Since the second aunt was scolded by the old lady that day, Song Badai thought that their mother and daughter should give up, but unexpectedly...

Song Liudai seemed to feel the same way, "That's right. Zhao Ming and Su Guanyang don't visit the house now, and I'm always busy, so I can't go to them, alas!" He looked very troubled.

Song Mo Niang showed an undisguised disappointment on her brows.

The three of them each had their own thoughts, they didn't talk speculatively for half a sentence, and they broke up without saying a few words.Seeing Song Badai's full of worries, Xinghua comforted him and said, "When the young master grows older, he will be able to meet many friends."

Although the Eight Dynasties of the Song Dynasty were also thinking about the words of the Six Dynasties of the Song Dynasty, they were thinking in the opposite direction.

Before, he only guessed that the old lady rejected Zhao, Li and Su's family's marriage proposal, but now this guess is confirmed.It can be seen from the fact that the children of these three families no longer come to the door, not only the old lady, but also Song Li's acquiescence.

The Zhao family, the Li family, and the Su family can be regarded as the three outstanding families in Licheng. Not only are they big and successful, but their ancestors are also prominent.The Li family is still Song Li's natal family, and if Song Xi's mother married her, that would be a closer relationship, and it stands to reason that Song Li would not refuse.

With this attitude now, it can only be said that the news brought by the old lady from Beijing is sufficiently attractive.

In the previous life, Song Xiniang said that she got married relatively late, so she married Song Momiang's sweetheart, Su Guanyang from the Su family.And Song Momiang married Zhao Ming's younger brother Zhao Ji by mistake, it can be said that the marriage was very unsatisfactory.Song and Eight Dynasties would not believe that the aunt had done nothing wrong with that marriage.

Speaking of this, Song Badai suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Song Qidai was sent to his family in the capital. Could it be related to this matter?

Song Badai was thinking about this all night, lying in bed tossing and turning like pancakes.Xinghua got up and looked at it once, and threatened him that he would not grow taller if he didn't sleep at night.

Song Badai fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling that the sky was dawning just as he squinted his eyes.

Today's content is still a temporary post.Song Badai secretly yawned, and was distracted to listen to the old gentleman's lecture to Song Qidai while he was reading the post.Probably under some kind of care, the content of the old gentleman's lectures covers a wide range, ranging from classics and historical documents to geographical and weekly annals.The teaching methods are not stick to one pattern, and they are not taught according to the imperial examination method.

Song and Eight Dynasties listened with great interest, and he had read some of the content in books in his previous life, but he only read it as anecdotes, not as deep as what the old man said, and the angle of entry was different, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment .

The old gentleman talked for a while, assigned some topics for Song Qidai to do, and walked down to watch the homework of the two of them.After flipping through a few words described by Song and Six Dynasties, the old man shook his head and walked away without saying anything.It was the characters of the Song and Eight Dynasties. He circled a few words to show that they were well done. After reading them, he said: "One hundred more, and you can start writing yourself when you're done."

Song Badai was very happy, and no longer distracted to listen to the old man's lectures, but began to write in earnest.If so, the one hundred characters were not finished until ten days later.

Classes ended on this day, and the old gentleman announced that the next day would be a holiday.Song Badai felt strange, this is not a holiday, why is it a holiday all of a sudden? !After he returned to the small courtyard, Xinghua told him that the next day was the birthday of his aunt Li's father, and Father Song decided to bring the whole family there to celebrate his birthday.

After dinner, the whole family came to the old lady to talk.

"Let's all go, as long as my old lady is watching at home." The old lady looked at Mrs. Li kindly, "You have worked hard, so go and have a good day."

Mrs. Li smiled, "With my mother watching, I have nothing to worry about." As he spoke, he turned to look at Song Qianqian.

Song Qianqian coughed dryly, and said: "The elder sister and the second sister have reached their age, and the rules have not yet been learned, and the third son is a little younger, so there will be collisions when there are too many guests, why don't they go this time Just stay at home with mother, okay?"

Song Badai finally understood what Li said.The eldest sister and the second sister are all pretense, the key is him who is behind the scenes.Song Badai had never been to such an occasion before, and Li Shi used such an excuse to detain him into a half-mute.Now is Li Shi planning to do the same old trick again?Song Badai planned that the old lady would nod her head, and he would pounce on her and hug her thigh and roll around.

Unexpectedly, the old lady did not agree, and her tone was rare and sharp, "San'er will be seven years old after the new year. When you were seven years old, you were already running a business with your father." After a pause, she added: " As for the two girls, you can just take them to their grandfather's house and see if there is any girl who can compare them."

Song Qianqian nodded, and Li's face was also full of embarrassment.The Li family is even richer than the Song family, and they are naturally of this type of family. When it comes to the upbringing of the children, it is naturally not as good as the Song family, let alone the Song family has hired a nurturing aunt to train/teach.Even Song Qianqian, an old man, had to admit that the two daughters looked similar now, and they were no different from those young ladies from scholarly families.

In the end, this matter was according to the wishes of the old lady.

On the second day, probably with Papa Song's explanation, Li's complexion improved a lot.

Just the gift of congratulations was loaded into a carriage, and the whole family went out in a mighty way.Li's house was some distance away from Song's house, and it took an hour for the carriage to arrive.Because the subordinates were sent to report in advance, Li's nephews greeted them as soon as they arrived at the door.

"Uncle, aunt, father and mother are all here to entertain guests, so I sent my nephew to welcome you, come in quickly." The leader was a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, followed by a group of radish heads, some big and some The young ages are uneven, and the Song and Eight Dynasties don't know any of them.On the other hand, Song Liudai and Song Qidai greeted them one by one as soon as they got off the bus, looking very familiar.

The whole family of the Song family was welcomed in by the leading man, and the men and women were separated halfway. The two girls of the Li family and the Song family were led into the inner house by a little girl.Because Song Badai was young, he was given to Song Xiniang by Mrs. Li, and was carried all the way to the group of women.There is no old lady here, and Song Badai's protest is invalid.

Song Liudai wanted to follow, but was slapped away by Li Shi.

When he got to the inner house, no one looked at him.Song Xiniang was hugged by her grandmother and just called "heart", several sisters of the Li family also talked around, but Song Momiang was ignored.The training/teaching these days is still quite effective, Song Mo Niang sat quietly on the side, quite ladylike.

"Ah, grandma, look at these two girls, they look more cute than the girls in our family." Zhu Shi, Li's youngest sister-in-law, smiled, "Sure enough, the people in the capital are capable."

Mrs. Li smiled and didn't answer the words.

Mrs. Zhu's smile froze, and she couldn't get off the stage. Mrs. Zhu's daughter, Li Meiniang, was 14 years old this year, a month older than Mrs. Song. Her eyebrows and eyes were similar to Mrs. Zhu's, and her skin was darker. She looked like a country girl. Song Xiniang said with her hand: "Sister, you walk very beautifully, and you don't make a sound at all, can you teach my sister too?"

Song Xiniang showed a decent smile, "Your sister has won the award. It is not difficult for you to learn, but Aunt Ruan is from the capital, and even grandmother can't be her master. If my sister really wants to learn, I will go back and ask."

Li Meiniang immediately curled her lips, turned her head and threw herself on her grandmother, crying loudly, "Grandmother, look at my sister, she doesn't care about our sisterhood at all. Why can't we learn from the one raised by my aunt? This is not to look down on people." What!"

The phrase "raised by my aunt" made Song Momiang's face change drastically.

Li's face also darkened.Although she doesn't necessarily like these concubine children very much, but outside they call her mother, it is naturally related to her face.At this time Li Meiniang said this, it was like slapping her in the face.

"Did you talk like that?!" Fortunately, the old lady was clear, so she immediately shouted at her.

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly pulled her daughter over, and apologized: "It's common for children to talk nonsense, grandma, don't care about their children." Then she looked outside, "Oh, it's all about this, my wife has to Go to the front to entertain guests, mother, daughter-in-law will go first."

Seeing the hurrying backs of Mrs. Zhu and Li Meiniang, the remaining girls of the Li family were all embarrassed, and some of them showed sarcasm smiles more directly, obviously they couldn't get used to their room for a long time.

Song Xiniang patted Song Momiang's hand, and then said: "Grandmother, mother, my sister and I will go play in the garden pavilion." Then she looked at the sisters of the Li family, "There are too many guests outside, so the sisters may have to go to entertain them. , go to the garden to find us when you are free, okay?"

The Li family sisters nodded in agreement.

Song Xiniang held Song Badai's hand and led Song Momiang all the way to the garden.

"Mei Niang is also 14 years old this year. She is a month older than your younger sister. She has a temperament similar to that of your little aunt. She is very lively, and she will grab everything good in her bowl when she sees it. My younger sister is beautiful, but she is a sinner." Have you broken her taboo!"

A few joking words made Song Momiang laugh, "My sister also made fun of me."

The two talked and laughed, and the haze on Song Momiang's face dissipated a lot.As the sun was growing, Song Xiniang and her party took refuge in the gazebo, and the serving girl went to fetch some snacks and tea, and the three of them sat to enjoy the cool air.Not long after, the sisters of the Li family sent a maid to invite Song Xiniang—it turned out to be the governor's daughter.She has always been good friends with Song Xiniang, and today she has brought a distinguished guest to introduce her to Song Xiniang.

"Sister, just go. My third brother and I are enjoying the cool air here. It's very comfortable. No matter what her status is, even if the daughter of the Hou's mansion is here, I won't go." She is probably still remembering what Li Meiniang said just now, and she treats her wholeheartedly. The girl from the Li family was also not very happy to socialize.After a few words of advice, Song Xiniang left.
