Song Qingci couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Because even if my mother didn't mention where to celebrate the New Year, she didn't seem to have thought about returning to the capital.
She has been enjoying it for a long time.
This is not good, not good.
However, after self-reflection, Song Qingci thought again, it was her mother who didn't allow her to go back, so she might as well stay happily.
After the beginning of next spring, she will return to Beijing with her parents.
Her only concern in the capital is actually her sister.
Her elder sister found a man like that, and in the past two years, he only reported good news and not bad news. She was very worried and always wanted to go see her elder sister in person. Only when the two sisters had a good talk could she feel a little relieved.
Song Qingci wrote back to Xu Youyou, saying that he understood, and brought her some local specialties. Then he stayed in the mountains and waited for the New Year.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the summer of the following year.
Xu Youyou is indeed a liar.
She had said she would come since the spring, but kept putting it off until summer, when she asked Jin Ge to bring a letter saying that they had set off from the capital.
Xu Youyou complained a lot, saying that she had a conflict with someone as soon as she left the capital.
The reason was that she booked an inn for some quiet and comfort.
As a result, he was forced to use several rooms for free by a eunuch who had left the capital.
Xu Youyou was indignant in her heart. Those who eat the emperor's food are so awesome! Aren't they all supported by people like me who work hard?
Song Qingci rolled his eyes as he watched, thinking to himself, how did you work so hard?
You've been lying down and traveling around the mountains and rivers for a long time, and you have to book an inn every time you go out. How dare you say that you're working hard?
Can you be more low-key?
How could her father, who is such a low-key person, spoil her mother?
"Xingye, what do you think happened to my mother? She wasn't such a high-profile person before!" Song Qingci asked in confusion.
What Xu Youyou despises most is the behavior of nouveau riche, but this time when she left Beijing, wasn't she being a little too high-profile?
After thinking for a moment, Xingye said, "Maybe he wants to give you face."
"Give me face?" Song Qingci couldn't understand. What kind of face did she need?
Besides, isn't this face-saving thing a bit out of reach?
If you want to show off your wealth, wait until you get to Huaishan. At least it will benefit the people on Huaishan.
It's a thousand or two thousand miles from the capital to Liaodong. Do we have to show off all the way?
"Yes." Xingye said, "This way, when you get married in the future, others will know that you come from a wealthy family and it won't be considered too high a price to marry."
"You say that as if I'm going to marry the emperor."
Hoshino said silently in his heart, you are not marrying the emperor, you are marrying the emperor's son.
Song Qingci couldn't help but mutter again, "Didn't my mother always want to match me up with the Third Master? Could it be that she has changed her mind again?"
Oh shit!
Don’t let any monsters come.
Her mother has a unique imagination and can do anything.
"Then, girl, do you hope that Madam will change her mind, or do you not hope that Madam will change her mind?" Xingye smiled and looked at Song Qingci.
Song Qingci's face turned slightly red.
She hadn't thought about this question.
But if I had to answer...
She hopes her mother will keep her original intention.
Although she and Mr. Fu Sanye have been apart for nearly a year.
Mr. Fu Sanye basically only comes back once every one or two months. After resting for a few days, he leads his men out again. However, every time he comes back, it is the happiest day for Song Qingci.
Mr. Fu Sanye would bring her various gifts, and even if they were not precious, they were very thoughtful.
Once, he even brought back a window for Song Qingci, just because the style of the window lattice was unique and rare, and he wanted to let her see it.
The sight of him coming back with his back to the window was very funny, but Song Qingci could understand his intentions.
——He wanted to share with her all the good things he had seen and eaten.
Just like how Dad always forces the delicious food he has tasted into Mom's mouth.
If his mother didn't taste it, he would be restless.
Song Qingci thought that she had finally found a man, and the relationship between them would be like that between her parents, long-lasting and full of warmth.
"Xingye, do you think my mother will beat me if I don't go back to Beijing?"
Xingye: "No, Madam will be so happy that she will set off firecrackers. Besides, how do you know that the Third Master will not go to the capital in the future?"
"What is he going to the capital for?" Song Qingci asked, "Do you mean to have the Third Master recruited by the imperial court?"
No, she didn't think that was a good idea.
She prefers her current life.
She couldn't imagine that the proud and free Third Master would be bound by the court.
Even if he was recruited, Mr. Fu San could at most be appointed a third-rank official?
A brick fell from a building in the capital and killed three third-rank officials.
Although being able to become a third-rank official was already a great honor, there were still too many princes and nobles above him, which restricted his ability to do things and he had to bow his head.
Song Qingci always felt that Mr. Fu San should be free.
He shouldn't be groveling to anyone.
After hearing what she said, Xingye suddenly smiled: "Miss, your idea may be realized if you return to the capital."
"Hmm? How do we do that?"
Is she going to ask her mother to pay to dig an underground paradise for them, just like escaping from the end of the world, to isolate themselves from reality?
Apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Third Master is capable, he is above ten thousand people."
Song Qingci: "...you are so bold in thinking and speaking."
"Why is this impossible? The Third Master's power has grown so strong that he already has tens of thousands of men available."
"There are only people, no horses." Song Qingci said unhappily.
Although Mr. Fu Sanye was indeed powerful, Song Qingci always felt that he was deceiving people because he could gather such a large team.
——Attract people by offering them a full meal.
The silver that Xu Youyou gave several times was enough to buy food for the time being, but buying horses was just a pipe dream.
One hundred taels of silver for a horse is already the cheapest.
The requirements for war horses are even higher. Ten thousand taels of silver can only buy five or six hundred horses, and two hundred thousand taels of silver can only buy ten thousand horses.
Where can Mr. Fu San get another 200,000 taels of silver?
Besides, weapons don’t cost money? Armor doesn’t cost money? Raising horses doesn’t cost money?
The people led by Mr. Fu Sanye are still a makeshift team. They don't have the money to buy any equipment.
"Xingye, you think too simply. The Third Master's small-scale actions have only been going on for a little over a year. They won't become a big deal now."
You can't get fat in one bite.
Even if you really have ambition, you have to accumulate it slowly, right?
If nothing else, money cannot be created out of thin air.
"I guess if that day really comes, I may not be able to survive." Song Qingci rolled his eyes.
Hoshino did not refute, but thought to himself, Girl, you know nothing about the lady's ability and courage.
Yes, the two hundred thousand taels of silver were used to buy grain.
But the lady is willing to give everything for her two daughters.
What is a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver?
Although the lady and the third master had never seen it, silver had been delivered to them in an endless stream like water.
In other words, the girl doesn't care about what's happening outside at all, otherwise she would definitely find that the situation is completely different from what she imagined.
