Chapter 446 From now on, he will be your greatest reliance
Upon learning that she was coming, everyone in the village ran to the village entrance to wait. Seeing the carriage approaching from afar, everyone, led by the village head Song Hongfu, saluted Song Yuntang.
"Greetings to the county lady."
Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain.
"No need to be so polite, I am just visiting my relatives in Rongshu Village. I hope everything will be the same as before."
Song Hongfu hurriedly followed the carriage.
"The county lady hasn't been to Rongshu Village for a long time. Are you here today because your mother's family has a new baby?"
"Yes." Song Yuntang looked at him. "The village head doesn't need to follow us. It's cold and the ground is slippery. There's snow falling from the sky. You better not fall. Let's go back."
Although it was quite unpleasant in the past.
After all, he is an elder of the Song family, so he still has to maintain superficial politeness.
I was very busy in the county town before, but after coming back yesterday, I suddenly relaxed and felt particularly lazy. I didn't even want to get off the carriage.
After she finished speaking, she lowered the curtain and asked Xia Ning to drive the carriage straight to the door of her house.
Song Hongfu watched the carriage go away, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
If people had not listened to Song Zhimei blindly in the past, Rongshu Village would have at least contributed a large part of the reputation Song Yuntang has gained today. It is said that Lushan Village has received many benefits from the county and provincial capital because of Song Yuntang.
He sighed.
I regret it.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the house, the sound of firecrackers was heard.
Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain and saw that her grandparents, parents, older brothers, two younger brothers, and her uncle and his/her families were all waiting for her at the door.
Seeing her getting off the carriage, Song Xingye and the old couple Lin wanted to lead everyone in paying their respects, but Song Yuntang quickly stepped forward to support them.
"Grandpa, please don't do that. It's not right for an elder to bow to a younger person."
Uncle Song Jinzhu laughed at the side, showing his big white teeth, "Tang'er is now the county lady appointed by the emperor himself. As someone who receives a salary from the court, it is reasonable for us to pay respects to the county lady."
"To the outside world, I am the county lady, but at home, you should just treat me as an ordinary junior." She took the bundle from Xia Ning and looked at the elders in front of her. "This time I came back, I brought some New Year's goods for my grandparents, parents, uncles, and uncles. I'll put them on the carriage. One person from each family should go with Xia Ning to put the things away."
Each family was given one stone of rice and twenty pounds of meat.
She thought that as it was a cold day, the meat could be kept for a while, so she brought some more.
In addition, he also brought some body-strengthening pills and warm clothes for winter for Song Xingye and the old couple Lin.
Song Jinbao, Zhao, their niece and nephew also prepared one each.
Lest Liu accuse her of being partial.
"It's snowing today, and it's cold outside. Tang'er, please go inside first." Zhao said, and walked happily to the kitchen, "I'll make you a cup of hot tea first."
Seeing this, Wang Hongying hurriedly took Song Yuntang's arm and walked into the house.
"Tang'er, are your parents-in-law okay?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "It's fine."
"A few days ago, my brother-in-law passed the imperial examination, but you didn't tell us. We only found out later that Lushan Village had held a banquet for him." Wang Hongying pretended to complain.
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head, "It wasn't a big deal. I just invited the villagers to have a simple meal on the day I got home. I didn't even notify my mother-in-law's relatives."
Lin was supported by her second uncle Song Jinwen and walked behind.
"Speaking of which, the girl has good vision. Before, your third brother and his wife did not agree with her marrying to Lushan Village. If it were an ordinary girl, she might have listened to her family's arrangement. Fortunately, she is a person with courage, otherwise how could she have such a good thing now."
Song Jinbao, who was standing by, scratched his head guiltily after hearing this.
Wang Hongying smiled.
"What mother said makes sense, but my uncle was not fully recovered at that time, and my third brother and his wife were also worried that Tang'er would have no one to rely on in the future, so they didn't have bad intentions."
She lifted the door curtain in front of her and pulled Song Yuntang into the house.
There was a kang in the room, making it warm. As soon as Song Yuntang came in, he took off his cloak.
Seeing this, Wang Hongying took it over before Song Yuntang even had time to react.
Song Xingye was the oldest in the family. He sat down in the main seat, looked at Song Yuntang and asked, "I heard that your son-in-law went to the capital? Is he planning to take part in the imperial examination next year?"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
Song Yuntang nodded, "I do have a plan, but I don't know what the result will be. I'm afraid I will go to the capital with him next year."
"That's fine." Grandma Lin said, "Your son-in-law has good looks and good character. If you and your wife are not together for a long time, it will be easy for seductresses outside to take advantage of you. Tang'er has to grasp the opportunity well. It's hard for a woman to live alone outside. He will be your biggest support in the future."
There are always many beautiful women around men who have some abilities in the world.
If my grandson-in-law really wants to take a concubine in the future, he has to have Tang'er, the legal wife, to watch over him and find some honest and reliable ones.
Otherwise there will be no peace in the rear house.
Song Yuntang did not refute Lin's point of view.
"Grandma is absolutely right."
If it were in the past, she might have said that she could live well on her own.
But the status of women in the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed awkward. Besides, she and Xu Qingye were now in love with each other, and he was a stable man, so she was willing to rely on him.
Zhao carried the tray from outside, lifted the curtain and walked into the house, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Tang'er will go to the capital next year. I'm afraid he will have fewer chances to come back, right?"
Over the past year, the mother and daughter have met less frequently, but they get along harmoniously despite not living together.
After finally easing the relationship a little, she has to leave again. As a mother, she is really reluctant to let her go.
Song Yuntang stretched out his hands, took the tea she handed him and held it in his hands to warm it.
"If grandpa and mom are free, you can ask your second brother to take you to see the capital. I will definitely accompany grandpa and mom to have a good time in the capital."
When Lin heard this, he said jokingly.
"The farthest place grandma has been in her life is Anyang County. If she could really go to the capital, she would brag about it to her old sisters until she is buried."
She didn't really want to go, but was just following Song Yuntang's words. At their age now, not being a burden to their descendants is the greatest blessing.
Song Jinbao was worried that his words might sound unpleasant, so he didn't say anything.
Zhao said, "My parents have lived in Rongshu Village all their lives. They don't know anything except farm work. I heard that there are dignitaries everywhere. I'm afraid that if I go there, I'll do something wrong or say something wrong and bring trouble to you."
Song Yuntang didn't say much. She put down the teacup in her hand, clapped her hands, and took Song Yi, who was already one year and one month old, from Song Jinyuan.
"Does Yi'er still remember her aunt?"
Song Yi couldn't speak yet, and could only look timidly at her pretty aunt in front of her.
