Old Master Song lay weakly on the hospital bed, his entire body was so thin that only a bag of bones remained.
When he saw Song Shuqian, he smiled weakly, his eyes full of tolerance.
With just one glance, Mr. Song knew that the person in front of him was not his Shu Xi. Shu Xi's eyes were cleaner and purer. She was well protected and had a naivety that was not in line with her age.
"Girl, come here to grandpa," Old Man Song said in a gentle tone, as if he was afraid of scaring the person in front of him.
Seeing this old man, Song Shuqian's memories came back to her mind. There was an old man who taught her, and she also dressed up to entertain her parents and make them happy. She walked quickly to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I'm Song Shuxi."
Mr. Song understood the seemingly unclear words. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Has Xixi told you about the current situation?"
"We talked about it."
"Do you mind telling grandpa about yourself?"
Song Shuxi could feel that the old man had no ill intentions, and although he was sad about losing his granddaughter, he did not take his anger out on other people.
She spoke softly about her life in another world, trying to speak lightly, and of course omitted many things, such as the gourd space.
She always remembers not to show off her wealth.
"…That's it, Grandpa. Before I came here, I was 18 years old, and the princess was planning my marriage, looking for a family that would benefit her and look glamorous on the outside but dirty on the inside.
It's difficult for her. "
Grandpa Song touched Song Shuxi's head with heartache. This child had a harder life than their own Xixi. She had to learn to read people's expressions and protect herself at such a young age.
She was able to find evidence in such a huge general's mansion, which shows her ability.
Grandpa Song brought Song Shuqian to the secret room and said, "Put everything here into your space."
Song Shuqian looked at Grandpa Song in shock, her eyes wide open.
"Don't be nervous. Only your grandmother and I know about this. When Shuxi was little, she couldn't keep a secret. She came to tell us early in the morning. The jade gourd is a family heirloom of the Song family. Each of them is a space."
Song Shuqian confirmed that he really knew and was not trying to trick her, so she accepted it openly. Anyway, no one knew that people could enter the space now. At worst, she could just hide in it and not come out.
Afterwards, she followed Mr. Song to collect things from three secret rooms in total. Fortunately, there was no height limit for the space, otherwise so many things would not have been able to be stored.
"Girl, the situation outside is chaotic now. Our family is safe now because grandpa supported the revolution in his early years and donated all his property. Your uncle was a pilot during the war and died in the mission. Your mother is also a hero who saved several leaders in her early years.
The only variable in the family is your father, this strange grandfather, who was soft-hearted in his early years and did not use harsh methods to discipline your child. A few years ago, I published an announcement in the newspaper to cut off ties with him and removed his name from the family tree. I hope it will be useful.
Now you have 3 options.
First, when you go to the countryside, grandpa will send you back to the Song family’s ancestral land. Our family has always helped people in the family, and we have a sense of loyalty to the family.
Second, for marriage, grandpa has found several suitable blind date candidates. You can go and meet them and choose the one that you are most satisfied with.
Third, sever ties with your grandpa and he will help you change your identity, and you will live in hiding from now on. "
After a day of tossing and turning, Song Shuxi has already gained some understanding of this era.
"Grandpa, I want to get married, and I hope my partner will be a soldier. Family conditions and appearance don't matter, as long as he has good character and good abilities."
She never dared to underestimate human nature. The Song family had received favors from the Song family, and they might help her or kill her.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. The Song family is wealthy and powerful, and in the eyes of the country people they are like a glittering gold brick.
She was weak and helpless, and going to the countryside rashly was like walking into a tiger's den.
You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance, and she is used to assuming the greatest malice towards others. It was this caution that allowed her to grow up safely in the General's Mansion.
As for severing ties with her family and living under a different identity, she didn't want to do that either.
In this world, if you do something, it will leave traces. She is 18 years old this year, which means she has lived here for 18 years and has met countless people. If she changes her identity rashly and is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would be like handing over evidence, which is very unwise.
In fact, after saying so much, the most important thing is that she wants to marry someone. In the Dayong Dynasty, girls could get married after they turned 15. However, she was worried that Princess Zhaoyi would do something bad, so she hid for three years under the pretext of mourning for her grandmother.
If she had not come here, she would now be the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which she had spent three years planning. The young master of the Zhenguo Mansion has been unable to speak since birth and is a difficult candidate in the marriage market. The person who wants to marry him has bad character and family background, and no one wants to marry someone with good character.
Song Shuqian had met the young master. He was a gentleman who doted on his concubine and had a son out of wedlock.
When discussing the marriage, the two agreed that the other party would provide her with shelter and she would cover for the other party so that he could live with his beloved woman.
This was the best marriage Song Shuxi could have gotten at the time.
In this world, she can finally find someone who cares about her and spend her life with her.
Being together as a couple for life is something that Song Shuxi of the Dayong Dynasty would never dare to think about.

After a busy day, Song Shuxi returned to the bedroom and began to sort out the messy memories in her mind.
She was very curious about what kind of dynasty this was, where people were proud of being poor and the poorer they were, the more glorious they were.
Song Shuxi, who had been studying history books since childhood, soon discovered the problem. She thought that the country might have taken the wrong path and it would not take many years for things to be put right.
Seeing the rejection and destruction of feudal superstition here, she decided to hide herself. Coming from the Dayong Dynasty, she was the biggest feudal.
Song Shuqian took out a book of quotations, looked through it carefully, and memorized its contents. People here will add a quote before speaking. For example, when buying something, they will first say "Serve the people, comrade, I want to..."
There's nothing wrong with learning more.
There are many interesting things in this era. The watch she is wearing now is very good. It is so small but can display the time accurately. According to her memory, Song Shuqian learned how to recognize a watch and how to use a radio and electric fan.
She also discovered that Song Shuxi was really talented and was good at mathematics, and those symbols were new to her.
There are also English, German and Russian. In Song Shuqian's understanding, everyone can speak Dayonghua. She didn't expect that there are so many languages in the world.
There was a lot of knowledge in Song Shuqian's memory that required her to spend time relearning it.
After sorting out her memories, Song Shuqian began to plan her life in the near future.
The first point is to fully integrate into this era and become the real Song Shuqian; the second point is to take grandpa to the hospital for treatment, go to give grandpa spiritual liquid early tomorrow morning, and then go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Right now she needs Mr. Song’s help, and his purpose is not important.
The third point is to live in a different place, preferably a remote village with a good environment. Only by staying away from the center of power can you ensure safety.
