Chapter 41: Appreciating Flowers and Catching People in the Suburbs
"They said it was sent by the old lady from the main house." Wanxiang was also a little confused about what the main house was up to. In the past, they didn't even think about sending things or taking something away from the third house every day.
Song Laosan thought about his mother's lecture this afternoon and felt that his mother was afraid that he would be sad, so she sent him cakes to comfort him. He laughed foolishly again.
Song Ci noticed this keenly and pursed her lips.
In the following days, the Song family seemed to have a really hard time.
The dishes prepared by the cook almost had no meat in them. Song Laosan's face became even uglier. He felt that everything was due to him. He was incompetent and had no ability. Not only did he not make any money, he also lost a lot, making life difficult for his family.
At night, inside the Song Porcelain House.
Wanxiang was chewing on the big elbow, and her mouth was covered in oil.
"Miss, let's just eat like this...would you really rather not invite Madam and Master to join us?"
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Wanxiang swallowed the pork elbow in her mouth, feeling a little guilty.
The mistress of the third house only had one or two large pieces of fat meat in her daily meals, and she was gnawing on a large pork elbow in the young lady's room late at night.
Song Ci picked up a large piece of braised pork with chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.
"The first wife is acting, and my parents believe it. They are kind people, so they will definitely not enjoy it alone."
Wanxiang thought about it and agreed. The Third Master must have the personality to think that if there is something delicious, the whole family should enjoy it together and not eat it alone.
"Then...Miss, how long will this play end?" Wanxiang wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth, widened her eyes, and asked curiously.
If there is a time limit, she will look forward to it a little longer. She loves this big pork elbow!
"Very soon." Song Ci smiled faintly, and his eyes seemed to be dancing with small flames under the candlelight.
Tian'er on the side looked at her new master, with an ambiguous light flashing in her eyes, as if this Third Miss Song... was not as weak as the princess thought?
Three days later, Old Mrs. Song asked to go out and relax on the grounds that she was not feeling well.
The eldest and second sons of the Song family were taking a break, so they immediately decided that the first and second wives would accompany Old Lady Song together.
Song Laosan originally thought that the three rooms would be together, but Old Lady Song told him that it would be better to leave some people at home to look after the family. Song Laosan was envious, but he also understood that someone had to stay at home, so he could only nod in agreement.
Finally, with envious eyes, I watched the family leave.
Lunch on the second day.
Song Ci glanced at her unhappy father and said with a smile, "Dad, do you want to go out and relax too?"
Song Laosan scratched his head, feeling a little ashamed that his thoughts were known by his little girl. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"I haven't been out for a long time."
"Why don't we go out and play as a family? Daddy hasn't taken me out to play for a long time."
Song Lao San was stunned for a few seconds, then he felt a little annoyed: "But your grandmother said that someone should stay at home to look after the house."
"Why don't we just go back and forth on the same day?"
When Song Lao San heard this, he realized that it made sense. He should go quickly and come back quickly. Besides, he was often away from home and rarely accompanied his wife and daughter. He immediately said, "Okay, Xiao Ci wants to go, Daddy will accompany you."
There was only one carriage in the house, which had been taken away by Old Lady Song and others.
Song Lao San found a way to rent a carriage. It was simple, but it couldn't stop the family from going out happily. He immediately took his wife, daughter, and Wanxiang out happily. Tian'er stayed behind.
The sound of horse hooves echoed through the downtown area. Wanxiang excitedly lowered the curtains, and people chatted and laughed inside the carriage.
Song Ci said without hesitation: "I heard that the flowers outside the city are blooming beautifully recently, and many people go to see them. Why don't we go there, Daddy?"
Song Lao San always agreed to his daughter's requests, so he naturally had no objection when he heard this.
Qiao Xianglan smiled and said, "This is my first time visiting these bustling places in Beijing."
As soon as these words came out, Song Laosan felt a surge of guilt in his heart. It seemed that since coming to Beijing from the village, his wife rarely went out. She had lived here for two years and had never gone out for a walk or a look.
"From now on, I will spend more time with you and Xiaoci."
He lowered his sleeves and shook Qiao Xianglan's hand.
Qiao Xianglan's cheeks were slightly red, and Song Ci on the side had a smile on his lips and looked into the distance, as if he didn't notice the couple's little thoughts at all at the moment.
It was not far from the outskirts of the city, and the Song family's house was not originally located in the center, so it was even more convenient to go there.
When they arrived, they heard the bustling sounds outside. Wanxiang lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, saying happily, "There are so many people."
"It's a good time to see flowers, so there are naturally many people."
Song Laosan jumped off the carriage first, and then helped his wife and daughter to get off the horse. As they watched the lively scene of flower viewing, they all had smiles on their faces and felt a little better.
"This flower is beautiful and smells so good." Wanxiang is a lively girl, looking here and there.
Song Ci: "Be careful, there are a lot of people here. Don't get lost."
Wanxiang responded and followed behind obediently.
Qiao Xianglan's eyes were shining brightly. Since she came to Beijing, she had never gone out to see the world. Her mother-in-law said that women should stay at home and did not allow them to go out often on weekdays.
She was of a gentle nature, so naturally she agreed.
It's rare for me to go out, and this feeling is unprecedented.
Song Laosan had been paying attention to his wife's expression. Seeing her like this, he was happy but also deeply aware of his neglect of his wife and daughter.
"Hey, those people in front...are they the old lady and her group?"
Wanxiang exclaimed in surprise, and several people looked over immediately. Just by looking at the backs of the people and the color of their clothes, they were sure that they were undoubtedly members of the Song family.
Song Lao San thought for a moment and said, "Since we've met here, I might as well go up and say hello to my mother and brothers."
He took two steps forward and was grabbed by Song Ci's sleeve.
"Dad, there are so many people here now, it's better for us to go together. If we meet again later, it won't be too late to say hello." Song Ci said softly, and Song Lao San agreed after thinking about it.
Among them, she is the only male and the rest are female. What should she do if something happens?
Thinking of this, he nodded, "Okay, Xiaoci is still thoughtful."
Song Ci narrowed his eyes, thinking of the scene that might happen later, and quickly suppressed the reluctance in his heart. If he couldn't bear it now, he would die in the future.
Daddy was sad, but this was just the beginning.
The few of them walked and stopped, buying some snacks. Qiao Xianglan knew that the Song family was in financial difficulty and was reluctant to spend money, so she just took a look and walked away. However, Song Laosan kept his eyes on them. When his wife passed by, he stayed behind and bought the things his wife had just seen, and then followed her.
"Give."
Looking at the things Song Lao San handed over, Qiao Xianglan glared at him and said, "What are you spending all this money on? What a waste."
