I'm struck by lightning and you may die

Gong Ye had just returned from Mr. Yu's house. He had just stepped into the gate of the Song Mansion before turning a corner when he heard two servants chatting in the corner. The word stumbled.After listening to the gossip word for word, his brows became a little darker.

From his standpoint, of course he was a little annoyed at Mrs. Song's "not knowing what is good and bad", but after thinking about it, no matter how "knowing what is good and bad", it is his own family's private matter. He is just an outsider working in the Song family, so naturally he has no He has no position to participate in what the next development will be.

However, in his heart, he has some confidence in Miss Song's methods, and he is confident that Song Xuehan can successfully deal with Mrs. Song.

Song Xuehan served dinner at her parents' house, and Song's mother asked a little worriedly: "Han'er, are you sure? Mother is a little worried that someone will spread nonsense outside and ruin your reputation."

Song Xuehan didn't care about these things, but she also understood Song's mother's mood, so she comforted: "Mother, don't worry, I told the servants to be strict yesterday, but even if it spreads, don't be afraid, there is a way to spread it. If there is no way to spread the word, my daughter is already prepared."

Song's mother sighed, and continued: "No matter what, the old lady will be very angry this time, I just hope there will be no big trouble."

Father Song said in a deep voice: "You have nothing to worry about what the old lady is doing, you might as well think about how to take care of your body so that Han'er and I don't worry about it."

Song's mother suffered a serious crime when she gave birth to Song Xuehan. She almost couldn't save her and hurt her body. Although she has been recuperated over the years, it is not as good as when she was young, often weak and sick.Father Song was terrified by his wife's life-and-death disaster, and Mrs. Song's health was not good, so he didn't do anything for so many years.

Old Mrs. Song was not happy about it. It was simply not her character not to get involved in this kind of thing.

Mrs. Song has never given birth to her eldest son. Of course, Mrs. Song, who likes to interfere in everything, is not willing to watch, and often thinks of ways to stuff people into Mr. Song's room.In the first few years when Mr. Song was still there, she used Mr. Song's name to stuff people into Mr. Song's house.

At that time, Master Song and his wife, who were still Young Master Song, were deeply in love with each other, and because of the matter of giving birth that almost made Mrs. Song die, he felt very guilty towards Mrs. Song, and refused to have it.When he was young and frivolous, he was always inconsiderate in his actions, and Mrs. Song caught several mistakes and made a run on her, so angry that Mrs. Song moved her family law several times.

Later, Mrs. Song was afraid that her husband would end badly if he disobeyed his father because of her, so the couple closed the door and chatted all night, which made the woman whom Mrs. Song had brought come to an end.

It's just that Mr. Song and Mrs. Song don't care whether they go to that person's house or not. They can't be forced to bed, can they?

Later, Master Song also simply refused to refuse anyone who came, you send me here, and I will continue, and thoroughly implemented the policy of writing concubines and reading them as maids.

Later, Mrs. Song's health was not good, and Mrs. Song's stomach had been unbearable and she couldn't keep a man and a half woman by her side, so she calmed down for a while.

After Mrs. Song drove to the west of Hehe, Mr. Song took charge of the house and dismissed all the concubines who had been stuffed in. Only then did the backyard completely stop.

Generally speaking, Song Xuehan has grown up peacefully and safely, and her father is indispensable, but there is still a problem: there is no son.

But fortunately, Master Song is very open-minded. One word to describe his mentality is: don't care about what's in front of you.

It is better to understand the life he is living than anything else. It has nothing to do with him whether the future Song family is prosperous or not.

Many people have also asked, why Mrs. Song didn't kick Mrs. Song out if Mrs. Song is so capable of killing her.

There are many reasons, apart from the etiquette factor, the main reason is actually that Mrs. Song's natal family has a great favor to Mrs. Song, and her natal family also suffered because of the Song family, leaving this daughter to be entrusted to Mrs. Song.

In terms of emotion and reason, the Song family should treat Mrs. Song kindly.

It was He Dayen, the Song family kept it a secret, and Mrs. Song didn't say anything.Even Master Song doesn't know much about it, let alone Song Xuehan.Most of the people who were in the know at that time gradually disappeared with the passage of time, and the entanglements of the past were buried in the dust of time and could not be traced. Blind guessing among vague words.

Master Song knew that Mrs. Song had a great kindness to his wife, but because he didn't know the specific kindness, his awe was not so strong.It was only because of the respect and filial piety to his father that Mrs. Song was allowed to make trouble.

But after so many years, Mrs. Song didn't make any incidents that were too outrageous to damage the fundamentals of the Song family, so Master Song just turned a blind eye. It can be seen that Mrs. Song still has a measuring stick in her heart. .

If she really annoyed Mr. Song's family, she, an old and frail woman, would definitely not get any benefit.

Sure enough, except for the huge battles in the first two days, after the third day, Mrs. Song didn't make any troubles anymore, but every day she caused the maid who served her to throw two plates and two bowls at the door of Master Song's study every day. To protest, it doesn't seem to be serious, but it seems to be going through the motions seriously.

The people in the mansion thought it was unbelievable at first, but after seven or eight days, they were no longer surprised. If they didn't hear the sound of plates and bowls breaking every day, they would feel inexplicably empty.

Empty......emmmm.......It's like missing a meal every day, except that the former is the emptiness in the heart, and the latter is the emptiness in the stomach.

Thanks to Mrs. Song, the opening of the Wenju Pavilion has not been settled yet, but this time it is well known.

Every branch of each house wanted to share a piece of the pie regardless of the status of the concubines. Master Song also used this stone to call the heads of the various branches of the Song family to discuss and study this matter all night. Some opposed it and some supported it.

Needless to say for the supporters, most of the opponents' claims are still on the distinction between the concubine and the concubines.

But this is not something Song Xuehan needs to care about.

As soon as the old lady made it, the Song family was inevitably affected, but fortunately, the problem was not serious, but the Song family courtyard was located in the outskirts, so it was not very convenient to get in and out. Mr. Yu's house was only one street away from the Song residence. It's not just a matter of a few streets.Song Xuehan was afraid that Mr. Yu would be too bumpy and tiring to toss back and forth, so in the recent period of class, she always got up early and took a carriage from the other courtyard to Mr. Yu's house.

It's just that when she arrived today, she met an acquaintance, which surprised her.

Usually Song Xuehan and Gong Ye didn't attend class together, and today I don't know what kind of evil wind was blowing, but unexpectedly saw Gong Ye who was making a post at Mr. Yu's house.

Mr. Yu said: "Gong Ye came here to send you a message. Your old lady seems to have stopped today, and there was nothing in the morning."

Song Xuehan nodded, and said, "Isn't it sick?"

"Miss, I'm worrying too much. Old Uncle Li went to ask his elder sister who was serving in the old lady's room, and said that everything is fine." Seeing Song Xuehan, Gong Ye stood up and said.

"Oh...then grandma is going to stop." Song Xuehan put down the book in her arms, turned to Gong Ye and continued to ask: "Did the old lady do anything to make you sad these few days?"

Gong Ye shook his head, and said: "Never, recently Uncle Li told me not to appear in the yard, for fear that the old lady would see me and get angry with me, so Uncle Li helped me do all the work these few days."

Song Xuehan laughed when she heard the words: "Old Uncle Li is quite protective of you, and will help you with everything."

Gong Ye lowered his head and said seriously: "Gong Ye always remembers the kindness of Old Uncle Li and Mrs. Madam."

"Oh, that's all right, all right, what are you doing with those useless polite words here, open the homework I left for you yesterday, I want to check." Mr. Yu put the ruler by his hand, and listened to the two people going back and forth for a while Whispering, said impatiently after listening to it.

Song Xuehan and Gong Ye respectfully handed over their homework with both hands.

While watching, Mr. Yu said, "I will combine your two classes from now on, and you don't have to worry about those twisted and broken rules here. I can tell you, you all know my class. The rules are your homework, if you don't pass the test, don't expect to have good fruit!"

"Han'er, after the matter of Wenju Pavilion is finalized, you can report to me the list of those who participated in the examination and admission. Please provide detailed information, so that I can decide on the topic."

"Yes, sir."

"However, if we want to open Wenju Pavilion, I must allocate part of my energy. I will try my best to separate your courses. If there is not enough time, I will open a small stove for you two."

Song Xuehan said with some hesitation: "But if this is the case, sir, is it too hard? I'm afraid..."

Mr. Yu raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and said earnestly: "As long as you are successful, you are better than anything else. Besides, don't look at the old man, I am not young, and I have a strong body. I will definitely live longer than your old lady." Now, you don't have to worry about it."

Song Xuehan listened, covered her lips and smiled lightly.

I'm afraid that Mr. Yu has also thoroughly appreciated the power of Mrs. Song's life, and he is still in fear.

***

Xiong Hongwu yawned. Jing Chuhu had talked for a long time and hadn't talked about the time span of a year. He almost wanted to talk about eating, drinking, and sleeping like reporting a running account. It was so boring and made him dizzy sleep.He couldn't help but said to Jing Chuhu: "Boss, when will your story get to the main line? I'm a little sleepy, otherwise I'll sleep for a while, and who will wake me up when we get to the main line?"

Hearing what he said, Jing Chuhu was not angry, and said slowly: "I know it's a bit boring, but I'm not too old for being lonely. I always want to pour out the bitter water in my stomach for you to taste."

Xiong Hongwu said helplessly: "I don't feel bitter at all when you are always suffering, I just feel sleepy!"

Jing Chuhu glared at him, "You have to listen to me even if you're sleepy, or I'll take out the dantian in your belly and feed it to the dogs!"

Xiong Hongwu didn't take it seriously at all, and cut out: "Boss, next time you scare people, can you find a reliable reason to scare people? Take a look at this shabby place except us few living things. Still have to breathe!"

"It's too simple for you to take a breath. Don't forget that the owner of this secret realm is me. I have complete control over this secret realm, which means that as long as I want to have it, I will appear somewhere in the secret realm the next moment." " Jing Chuhu smiled: "Do you want to try what it's like to be bitten by a dog?"

Xiong Hongwu was about to continue the bar when he was kicked hard by Wei Fang. He hissed in pain and kicked back again: "Little bastard, you are going to die with such strength!"

Wei Fang dodged casually for a while without being kicked by him, and gave him a cold look, and Tang Di slapped hard on the back of the head before he could make a sound.

"Calm down for me, too." Tang Di looked at these two careless people in a bad mood, and made a few foolish things regardless of the occasion.

In comparison, An Jue was simply a well-behaved baby, Tang Di sighed, feeling very heartbroken.

The two people who caused the trouble were stunned, and they took advantage of the situation to be honest, so Jing Chuhu then dug out the old stories that I don't know if there is any mildew and continued to talk.

Aside from the boring daily life in the Song Mansion, there is really nothing to talk about about Jingchu Lake in his youth, but the life of "living under the fence" in his youth is indeed the day he misses the most.

Although the matter of Wenju Pavilion went through some twists and turns, it finally went as Song Xuehan and Master Song wanted.

Of course, because these students in the Song Mansion are good and bad, except for those who have passed the first test and are really not qualified for admission, the level of their studies is also different. In order to unify the teaching progress, Mr. Yu still made some Adjustment.

A few months passed like this, and one day after class, Mr. Yu left the two of them alone.

"I called the two of you here today, I think you should have some ideas." Mr. Yu took a sip of tea and continued slowly: "Qiu Wei is coming soon, I think you are all thinking about it. I am open to the imperial examination system. Men and women, regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, businessmen or businessmen, can participate. The purpose of asking you to stay today is to ask you two, but do you have any thoughts about these things?"

When they are not in class, the atmosphere between the master and the apprentice is still very relaxed. Usually, when the three of them chat, they can talk about everything, but when it comes to today's topic, the other two keep it secret.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Mr. Yu was a little anxious: "You guys should talk about it."

Song Xuehan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, showing no expression on her face.

Song Xuehan didn't speak, and Gong Ye was even more silent.

Mr. Yu was already impatient, and when he saw that the two of them looked like gourds, he became angry: "Usually you two dare to say anything, but why are you acting like that saw-mouthed gourd with such a trivial matter today?"

Song Xuehan said helplessly: "Students are still thinking about it. You also know that I will take over such a big business of the Song family. I'm afraid that if I get involved in the imperial examination, I'm afraid that I will be a bit incompetent."

After listening to Mr. Yu, his expression was not very good-looking, he turned his head and asked Gong Ye, "What is your plan?"

Gong Ye bowed his head: "Students don't dare to think too much, I just want to help the Song family solve their problems and repay the Song family's life-saving grace."

After listening, Mr. Yu put the teacup heavily on the table, and said angrily to the two of them: "Short-sighted, short-sighted!"

He pointed at Song Xuehan angrily and said: "I called you here today to ask how you are preparing for the matter of Qiu Wei, but you two turned out to be fine, my old man really did not expect it!"

"I thought you two were the talents of Kunpeng, but how could you be watching the sky from a well! Let me ask you, Haner, is there a lord in the ancestors of the Song family?"

Song Xuehan pursed her lips and said, "300 years ago, Song Yu, the ancestor of the former dynasty, was a princess and was named Zhong Yubo."

Mr. Yu continued: "If I remember correctly, it is recorded in the history books that Zhong Yubo, who was conferred by Song Yu back then, was a hereditary title. Am I right or not?"

Song Xuehan said in a low voice: "Yes."

Mr. Yu was so angry that he patted the table straight: "Then you tell me why the emperor deprived the title of a good title after passing it down for three generations?"

Song Xuehan didn't speak.

"What was the Song family in its heyday back then, and what is the Song family now? Haven't you weighed it in your heart?! But a small Song family can trap you in this city for a lifetime?! According to your Thoughts, work hard for the Song family all your life, bow to your best and die? I can't see that you have such a dedication that can only be praised."

"I think the Song family will be passed on to you, and it can last for decades at most. Once your father lets go, you and your Song family will change positions!!!

It's not that you don't know that your little cousin Song Yun, the concubine of the second bedroom's family, is as smart as you were back then. He carried forward your Song family and let a bastard from a side branch ride on the neck of your direct line? ! "

Mr. Yu took a deep breath, and continued: "You are all my students, I will not hide my secrets from anyone, if you are still so stubborn, don't blame me for not reminding you."

He was completely disappointed. Originally pointing to these two precious students to obtain fame, one is for their bright future, and the other is to fulfill his obsession when he was young, but these two people gave him such an answer, which really made him heartbroken. !

Mr. Yu was angry, and asked Gong Ye coldly, "And you! Don't think that I don't know the little things in your heart."

When Gong Ye heard this, she panicked.Did Mr. Yu see it?What did he see?Mr. Yu could see it all, would that lady... his mind went blank for a moment, he couldn't imagine what would happen if Song Xuehan found out about the thoughts in his heart that couldn't be put on the table, what if...

Before he could imagine all the terrible consequences, Mr. Yu continued: "You said you wanted to repay the Song family for saving your life, but I want to ask you, what kind of favor did you repay? Let the Song family's name go down in history or carry forward the Song family's family business? Besides coming to class every day, what else do you do? Eat the Song family's food and live in the Song family's food and then do nothing, you call this repaying favor? This is called moth!! !"

"Do you think that you are repaying the Song family by doing chores all day long? Absurd! If you really want to repay your kindness, you should learn a trick and carry forward the Song family. This is repayment, not Like a follower, follow your lady all day long and be a fool!"

Mr. Yu scolded fiercely, but Gong Ye heaved a sigh of relief...

Fortunately, I didn't find out...

He was tense before, for fear that his thoughts would be exposed, but it turned out that what the husband said was not about this matter, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.In the end, Mr. Yu mistakenly thought that he couldn't listen at all.

An angry Mr. Yu pointed at him and said, "Stubborn!"

Mr. Yu blew his beard and stared, Song Xuehan and Gong Ye were afraid that he would be angry, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and admitted their mistake.

During the short journey together, Gong Ye endured it, but still couldn't help asking: "Is it true that Miss didn't want to participate in Qiu Wei because of the reason just now?"

Song Xuehan glanced at him and sighed lightly: "Do you think I really don't want to?"

"Then why..."

She looked up at the blood-red setting sun in the sky, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.She said softly: "You also know that I am the only direct descendant of the Song family. After all, the daughter's family is different from yours. If my parents had not only had me as a child, I would not be struggling like I am now. The officialdom is like a battlefield. , not to mention how I can take over the big business of the Song family, but how to deal with myself in the ever-thirsty officialdom is a big problem. While I want to continue this thin bloodline of the direct line, I have to be on guard at all times. It’s impossible to make a wrong step.”

"But in this world, how can we not make mistakes? I'm afraid that once I do something wrong, if it's just my life, it's nothing. If it involves the entire Song family, then I will ruin the entire Song family." A sinner of the Song family."

"Miss, you're overthinking. Today's son is virtuous, as long as you are honest and upright, Gong Ye thinks that you will not be able to have the day that Miss said..."

Song Xuehan was silent for a long while, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "You said that I didn't even pass the provincial examination, so I'm talking big here."

"Miss has real talents and learning, so why are you talking big?" Gong Ye said very seriously.

"Okay, let's not talk about me, what about you? What do you think about Qiu Wei that Mr. said?" Song Xuehan's eyes were clear, but she was very serious.Frankly speaking, Song Xuehan should have nothing to do with Gong Ye's attitude.Although the two are in a master-servant relationship now, Song Xuehan doesn't think that he is inferior to her academically.

After getting along with Gong Ye for so long, Song Xuehan really saw Gong Ye's savvy and talent, and was truly convinced.

It would be a real pity if he was really as he said and had no idea about fame.

But looking at Gong Ye's usual thoughts of studying, if it is what he said, Song Xuehan would not believe that he has no interest in Qiu Wei.

"You don't need to consider my factors. After all, although the two of us are master and servant in name, we can actually be called 'best friends', right? Tell me the truth, is it okay?"

Song Xuehan asked the question sincerely, and Gong Ye also replied sincerely: "Gong Ye only wants to follow Miss to repay her life-saving grace."

He really thought so, but when he heard the word "best friend", his mood fluctuated uncontrollably.

But fluctuations are only for a moment, he is very clear about his position and situation, and doesn't want to think too much about other things.

Song Xuehan's normally smiling eyes turned slightly colder, and she said with a half-smile: "Why, if you don't participate in Qiu Wei, then you don't either?"

Gong Ye said: "Yes."

"What if I participate?"

"Gong Ye listens to Miss."

Song Xuehan completely restrained her smile: "Are you trying to tie me up?"

Hearing the displeasure in Song Xuehan's tone, Gong Ye did not change his position: "Gong Ye is willing to do the Song family's heart and soul."

Song Xuehan laughed angrily, and she said coldly: "The Song family can't afford to use you as a child to ruin your brains. The matter of Qiu Wei is all up to your own wishes. Don't blame me. I don't want to blame you. You also At this age, you should have your own thoughts when doing things, and I will not be responsible for your actions."

"Besides, Gong Ye, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say it or not, but I think it's okay to say it now. My father told me since I was a child that people who have no self-respect live in this world. You don't owe our family anything. It’s nothing more than your life, and it’s just a matter of raising your hands, and it’s like our Song family built a seven-level pagoda to accumulate Yin virtue. To put it bluntly, if you have regrets in the future, don’t count it on my Song family.”

Sonorous and powerful, every word punishes the heart.

After finishing speaking, Song Xuehan turned around and left. Zhe Liu, who was walking behind her, glared at Gong Ye, who was a little lost in his place, and hurriedly followed her as soon as she raised her footsteps.

Gong Ye was a little at a loss, felt very uncomfortable, and didn't show anything on his face, but stood until dark, and returned to Song Mansion in a daze.

Old Uncle Li saw that he was a little absent-minded, and thought he had encountered something serious.The sense of mission as Gong Ye's guardian arose spontaneously. He moved a small stool and sat beside Gong Ye, showing a face of a caring old uncle, and asked in a soft tone: "Is Ye'er encountering any troubles? Shall I talk to Uncle?"

Gong Ye was staring at the ants on the ground in a daze, and old Uncle Li was not in a hurry and waited for him slowly.After a while, Gong Ye hesitated and said: "I..."

Old Uncle Li: "...um...?"

Gong Ye: "You said..."

Uncle Li: "What did you say?"

Gong Ye said: "Is it wrong for you to say that I want to repay the Song family for saving my life with all my heart?"

Old Uncle Li said with a look of reason: "Of course there is nothing wrong with it! It is a life-saving grace, but it is a great kindness. I can't take any repayment too much."

Gong Ye was a little confused: "Then why..."

Then why does the lady say that I have no self-esteem?

Halfway through the conversation, there was no sound again. Seeing that the soul of the person in front of him had gone to nowhere, Old Uncle Li was a little anxious.

Seeing that he hesitated for a long time and couldn't understand, Old Uncle Li asked tentatively: "Did you suffer some grievance from Mr., or did you have difficulties in your studies?"

Gong Ye shook his head after returning to his senses.

Old Uncle Li asked again: "That's why the young masters in Wenju Pavilion made things difficult for you? If they make things difficult for you, just tell Missy, Missy will definitely clean them up clearly."

Hearing the word "Miss", Gong Ye felt uncomfortable again.

After holding back for a long time, he still couldn't help asking: "Uncle Li, why do I want to repay Miss all my heart, but Miss thinks I'm a burden?" After all, he was very wronged in his heart, and he tried not to lose his composure in front of his sweetheart, and replied When I got home, I couldn't help complaining about one or two.

He was also a little dazed.
