The next morning, there was a commotion outside.
Song Qingci vaguely heard some noise outside, yawned, and asked Feng Xundao, who had already gotten up, "What's that noise outside?"
"Bai Ya is being shameless and doesn't want to leave." Feng Xun said, "She's clamoring to see the Third Master."
This is also expected.
Song Qingci said "Oh", stretched, and slowly sat up from the bed.
"Miss, why don't you ask if the Third Master has seen her?"
"I care more about what to eat this morning than their feuds."
She was worried about her family. She didn't sleep well last night, so how could she have the mind to care about others?
"I heated up the leftover buns from yesterday and cooked some millet porridge."
"OK."
After the master and servant washed up and had their meal, Feng Xun knew what Song Qingci was thinking, so he said, "Miss, do you want to ask Dongzi to help you find out about your family?"
"I can't find out anything." Song Qingci shook his head. "My mother is very low-key."
"Then, we can only wait for news from Sister Hoshino?"
"And Xingwei."
The sisters Xingye and Xingwei acted separately, one went to the capital to inform the Song family, and the other crossed the sea to Dengzhou to find Xu Jinzhu who should be doing business there.
But up to now, no one has sent back any news.
It can't be that something happened to both sisters.
Hoshino himself is fully capable of protecting himself.
When Xing Wei left, Song Qingci assigned someone to protect her.
Considering that my sister is very suspicious and may not believe the letter if someone else delivers it, Xingwei needs to show up.
All the news fell on deaf ears.
Song Qingci was indeed considering how to contact his family in other ways.
"How about asking the Third Master for help?"
"I'll think about it."
After dinner, Feng Xun went out again to get some information, or to be more precise, to watch the fun.
Song Qingci sat on a small stool, holding a small brush, and carefully washed the snails that Dongzi had sent him earlier in the yard.
After spitting out the mud and sand for two days, I can make some stir-fried snails with sauce today.
Yesterday someone sent Master Fu San a basket of crabs. We couldn’t finish them, so we can make some more dishes today.
I don’t know whether he eats drunken crab or not.
It’s a pity that you can’t find the best Huadiao in the mountains.
Huadiao is more fragrant, and the pickled crabs have a mellower flavor and taste more delicious.
However, whether it is snails or crabs, it is troublesome and laborious to handle them.
Anyway, she had nothing to do today, so she could find something to do to stop her from thinking too much.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Song Qingci looked up and saw Jin Yue standing alone by the screen wall, looking at her.
Jin Yue wore a white and blue double-breasted embroidered jacket today, and a striped skirt underneath, looking fresh and clean.
There was something unnatural about her expression. I wonder if it was because she had tricked Song Qingci last time and now felt a little embarrassed.
Song Qingci ignored her and continued to wash the snails with his head down.
"Sister Song? Are you still angry with me?" Jin Yue came closer with a bit of flattery.
"Talk to me?" Song Qingci said calmly, "Why should I be angry with you?"
"It was last time..." Jin Yue bit her lip and said carefully, "I was wrong last time. I'm sorry."
"Got it. Anything else?"
Song Qingci's reaction was beyond Jin Yue's expectations.
How could she be so... indifferent?
She could either accept her apology or reject it and scold herself.
But now, it's like nothing happened, and it's like I don't know her at all. It's really uncomfortable.
"Sister Song, are you still angry with me?"
"What do you think?" Song Qingci asked back, "Should I be angry?"
"She has the right to be angry, but the child is young. Just forgive her this time. She won't do it again." Jin Yue said shamelessly.
Although Song Qingci wanted to be cold to her, he couldn't bring himself to lose face after hearing her serious last sentence.
This child is quite adaptable.
Jin Yue pulled a small stool and sat down opposite her, then tilted her head to watch her wash the snails.
"Why, no one is forcing you to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting today?"
"How could there not be?" Jin Yue sighed, "But today, my father was very angry about something, so they didn't dare to complain."
This "they" are obviously the people who taught her things.
Song Qingci never got close, nor did he try to understand.
But Dongzi was such a chatterbox that he wanted to spill everything he knew.
So Song Qingci knew that although Mr. Fu San was in a bandit's den, he still wanted his daughter to become a successful person. He probably wanted his daughter to marry into a wealthy family in the future, so he had her brought up strictly, hoping to raise her into a rich lady who would never leave the house.
Song Qingci thought to himself that it seemed that Mr. Fu San did not quite agree with the story of Meng's mother moving three times.
Why didn't he think about raising a child with outstanding moral character, good manners and skills in a bandit's den, and then who could he marry her to in the future?
Who would marry a wife without seeking a match for her?
In short, in Song Qingci's opinion, it was ridiculous for Mr. Fu San to raise his daughter in this way.
"I came here to thank you." Jin Yue suddenly said seriously.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for driving Bai Ya down the mountain. I have hated her for a long time!"
Song Qingci: "Thank you for thinking highly of me, but I'm not that great. Bai Ya's coming down the mountain has nothing to do with me."
"But why did they tell me that it was my father who loved you and was afraid that you would suffer, so he drove Bai Ya down the mountain?"
Song Qingci: "Have you heard of 'Three people make a tiger'?"
“No.”
Song Qingci: "Forget it. Just remember, I have nothing to do with your father."
"You're lying. You live in my father's yard, and you say you have nothing to do with my father?"
Song Qingci gritted his teeth and said, "We'll move out soon."
Now that Bai Ya has gone down the mountain, Mr. Fu San no longer needs her as a shield.
However, I am a little disappointed that food is really scarce in the mountains. Without the welfare provided by Mr. Fu Sanye, the quality of the food will decline a lot.
Although pine nuts can bring back meat, fish, shrimp and crabs will probably be hard to come by in the future.
"Then move to my place." Jin Yue said.
Song Qingci: "...I don't want to go."
"Are you still mad at me?"
"Is it not possible?" Song Qingci asked back.
Jin Yue: "I've already apologized, but you still can't forgive me?"
"Why don't you wait until the day your father kills me, and then come to my grave and ask me to forgive you?" Song Qingci said bluntly.
Who isn't a baby?
She also wants to pamper herself a little.
Jin Yue was speechless after being confronted by her. After a long while, she stammered, "I'm sorry, please forgive me just this once..."
"Your father is back."
Jin Yue instantly jumped up from the stool.
When she saw clearly that no one was coming behind her, she couldn't help but said angrily: "You lied!"
"You are guilty as a thief. Go back quickly, and don't wait until your father comes back, or you can blame me for something."
