Chapter 334 Song Ying comes to cause trouble
Song Lan was going to take the palace examination. These days, in addition to taking care of his own business, Song Lao San was also reading in the house. He had not read for many years, but he had a foundation when he was young, so it was not particularly difficult for him to continue reading.
"Dad, have you really been reading this recently? How come you can recite this already?" Song Lan looked slightly surprised.
"You said your father had good talent, but why is it so difficult for you to learn? You didn't inherit even a little bit of it." Song Lao San looked at his son proudly and was in the mood to tease him.
Normally, if an ordinary family had a child like Song Lan who was good at studying, they would hold him in high esteem, but who could blame him for having a father who was even more talented than him?
He scratched his head. "Lin Huo's teacher said I had good talent, but that was because he didn't see my father. If my father had studied hard, he would have been a high-ranking official by now."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurried to look at Song Laosan. Seeing that Song Laosan didn't seem to mind at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I was young, I was also impatient and irritable. The fact that I can read so smoothly now may not be unrelated to my years of experience. Everything has its pros and cons. Don't always see the bad side of things. Think more about the good."
"Yes, Dad. I understand." Song Lan felt that what he said made sense and accepted his advice with an open mind.
On this day, Lin Huo, who had not been seen for a long time, reappeared in front of everyone. He was thinner and did not seem to have recovered well. His face was a little pale, and his eyes were as black as ink, deep and unfathomable.
He glanced at Song Ci, then turned and bowed to Song Lao San and Qiao Xianglan, "Uncle, Aunt, thank you for worrying about me."
During the time that the Song family was with him, they not only asked Song Lan to visit them, but also sent a lot of food supplements and high-quality ingredients to the Lin family. Lin Huo was very grateful.
"I'm glad to see you. Today is the palace examination. It's different in the palace than outside. You and Song Lan need to take care of each other."
"What my uncle said, Lin Huo will remember it in his heart."
Song Lan stepped forward and looked him up and down. "Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved. Have you been neglecting your studies these days?"
His voice was bright and clear, and Lin Huo couldn't help but smile, "Nothing was left behind."
"That's good!" Song Lan smiled, revealing his white teeth, but his eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of Qiao Yu in the crowd.
Lin Huo understood and said slyly, "It's been a while since we last met. Brother Song has found a sister-in-law for me."
His voice was very low, but Song Lan heard it clearly. He was always extroverted, and it was rare for him to blush.
He breathed a sigh of relief and admitted directly, "She is very good. I want my mother to arrange a marriage for me." He wanted to ask whether the Lin family had already helped Lin Huo find a suitable partner, but after thinking about it, he did not ask in the end, for fear that Lin Huo would still be thinking about his own sister, which would only add to his sadness.
Lin Huo smiled and said, "It seems that the good day is not far away. I congratulate Brother Song in advance. I will definitely come to ask for a glass of wedding wine when the time comes."
"You and I are brothers, and you must be present at my wedding." The two smiled at each other, and their affection was self-evident.
Finally, he said goodbye to everyone and watched the two people's carriage slowly drive away.
From beginning to end, Song Ci didn't say a word to Lin Huo, and even tried to avoid looking at him. However, he could still sense his gaze on his face from time to time, so hot.
"Da da da da da..." With a burst of hurried horse hooves, an extremely luxurious carriage stopped. Le Yi got out of the carriage in a hurry, holding her skirt and looking around.
"Where is Lin Huo?"
Song Ci: "He just left with my elder brother."
Le Yi seemed to be deflated, complaining a little, "I tried everything to get out, but still didn't meet him."
Song Ci smiled and looked at Le Yi's bright eyes and eyebrows. She thought of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was more experienced and had the majesty of having been in a high position for a long time. Le Yi was bright and her eyes were like the morning sun, making people unable to look away.
She was certain that Le Yi didn't know about this, otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn't appear in front of her so calmly and say such heartless words as before.
Le Yi complained for a while, then added, "I sent people to the Lin family to give him things, but he didn't keep any of them. In the end, after much persuasion, he did keep a few rare ancient books."
"What rare ancient book?"
She described in detail which books they were. Song Ci pursed her lips and didn't know what to say for a moment.
They both loved reading, and when they chatted occasionally, Song Ci complained that the ancient books he liked were so rare that he couldn't even buy a single copy. Among them were the books Le Yi had mentioned.
Le Yi couldn't find anyone, so she said goodbye and went back to the palace. She came with great fanfare and left with great fanfare. The audience gathered around her, and the princess, who knew Le Yi's identity, was talking about it even more.
He looked at the Song family with more awe.
After seeing the person off and about to go back, I saw a woman with a sallow face, skinny body, and dark circles under her eyes getting off a carriage. Her belly was very big and it looked like she was about to give birth.
Qiao Yu muttered, "What's going on? Carriages are coming one after another."
She didn't recognize him, so naturally she didn't realize that the person in front of her was Song Ying, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Without even glancing at anyone else, she walked straight to Song Ci and actually knelt down with a "thump", her knees touching the ground with a crisp sound.
Song Ci frowned, "What do you want to do."
Seeing her kneeling down to her in public and being pregnant, she already had some guesses.
"I'm begging you, third sister, please save my father!" Song Ying burst into tears and kowtowed. She kowtowed so hard that her forehead swelled up. In addition, her face looked ugly, which made her look very scary and weird.
"How dare you come to my house!" Song Lao San looked at her coldly.
"Third uncle, my father and you are brothers, you can't just stand by and watch him die! The court has sentenced him to immediate execution, and he is dying!" Song Ying's skinny fingers dug into the hard soil, his face full of dejection.
"Your father is dying, it's all your own fault!"
"Don't you care about the blood relationship?" Song Ying's face, which was sad just now, was instantly covered with a layer of anger.
"What a family love!" Song Ci smiled coldly.
Song Ying's expression was a little unnatural, but she was still confident. "What's wrong with what I said? Song Lan is studying now. If people knew that he didn't care about his family, what future would he have?"
"You are threatening us!" Song Laosan looked at her with increasingly cold eyes.
"As long as you help me, we will definitely not appear in front of you in the future."
More and more people were watching around. Recently, the Song family first issued an imperial edict and then made friends with the princess. Everyone had been curious for a long time. Seeing someone kneeling down and crying so pitifully, there was suddenly a lot of discussion.
Everyone sympathizes with the weak. No matter how you look at it, Song Ying now seems like a weak person. Everyone looks at the Song family with strange eyes, which is exactly what Song Ying wants.
Song Lan studied, and Song Lao San also studied, all in order to pass the imperial examination and become an official.
