Chapter 52: Making Trouble
Knowing that Lin Huo would continue to prepare for the exam, she bought some books in advance. Not only were there various books that would be used for the exam, but also some that might be useful to him.
Adhering to the principle of investing in advance, spending little money and achieving big results, Song Ci is deeply confident in his decision and feels that he will never go wrong.
When Lin Huo becomes successful in the future, he will definitely remember her kindness in helping him in his time of need.
If he asked him for a small favor, Lin Huo would be embarrassed to refuse when he thought about the favor he had done today.
Thinking of this, Song Ci smiled more sincerely.
That's a big, thick leg.
Wanxiang handed over a large bag wrapped in cloth.
Lin Huo took the thing and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his eyes widened a little. He flipped through the book quickly, his eyes flashing with surprise from time to time.
He found that this was not only a good book, but also contained annotations and analyses by some great scholars.
This is good stuff that shouldn't be passed on to others.
Many noble families would definitely keep this book secretly if they got it. With this kind of book, their descendants would get twice the result with half the effort in the imperial examinations.
Anything that can be circulated and sold on the market must be worth a lot of money.
This gift, regardless of its value, sincerity, or thoughtfulness, was truly invaluable. Lin Huo wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. He desperately needed these things, and they were incredibly hard to come by.
"This thing is precious, and I shouldn't have accepted it. But it is indeed what I need. Thank you, Miss Song San. From now on, if I can do anything for you, I will definitely do it without hesitation."
Yes, yes, she was waiting for this sentence.
Song Ci was overjoyed to hear the personal promise from the future Lord Lin.
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. You've helped me a lot. Besides, you and I are already friends, and friends should help each other."
Lin Huo was moved.
Apart from my father, no one has ever been so kind to me without asking for anything in return.
Miss Song San is a very sincere and kind person.
Wanxiang was watching from the side in amazement. The young lady was becoming more and more extraordinary. Didn’t she see that Master Lin was completely bewildered?
Only after the others left did Song Ci finally breathe a sigh of relief. Lin Huo was too clever to fool. She needed his help, but she also had to make sure he didn't doubt her or become suspicious. She felt completely exhausted.
"Wanxiang, give me a massage. It's really tiring to live in the same room with him."
Song Ci, now relaxed, slumped down on the chair, as if he had no bones, causing Tian'er and Wanxiang to laugh softly.
She ignored him and lowered her head, her eyes suddenly becoming gloomy.
If you don’t get enough rest, how can you watch the show tomorrow?
Once word of officialdom leaked out, it spread quickly. Furthermore, Boss Song was not known for keeping a low profile, so many people knew that after this year, he would be transferred next year.
Those who were on good terms with him sent him gifts to congratulate him, and those who were not on good terms with him even sent him big gifts.
After all, times are different now.
Seeing that the doorstep of the Song family was almost broken down in a few days, Old Mrs. Song smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she kept praising the eldest brother Song for his promising future.
Half of the room was filled with things, and Song Rouxi was also proud of it.
Recently, everyone in her circle of girlfriends is happy to praise her, and she also enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.
There was constant laughter in the main hall, and everyone was happy about Boss Song's upcoming promotion.
"When I gave birth to my eldest son, I calculated it in advance. Everyone said that he was destined to become a high-ranking official." Boss Song laughed happily. "Look, it turned out to be true. Not long after, he got promoted."
Boss Song was also happy, "Mom, how can you believe what the fortune teller said?"
Although he said this, he was also very satisfied in his heart.
"How can it be nonsense? Isn't he right now? In this Song family, you are the most promising one, my son."
Boss Song laughed and clapped Boss Song's hands. His eyes swept around and finally fell on Boss Song's face. His smile immediately faded.
"Hmph, unlike some people who have been a failure since childhood, unable to study or do anything. They are just unlucky." She sneered disdainfully: "Don't be unable to help at all, and then rely on our Song family for help in the future."
Song Laosan was happy for his brother just now, but when he heard what Old Lady Song said, his smile fell.
He frowned, and with great difficulty suppressed what he wanted to say, just pretending that he didn't hear it.
Song Ci chuckled and said, "Grandma always said that since my uncle has become a high-ranking official, we can also benefit from it and have a good future. I just don't know, is it the light, or..."
She meant something.
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't think I don't know you're up to no good." Boss Song was furious. "In the end, the entire Song family still depends on your uncle. I'm telling you, Song Ci, why can't you learn from your eldest sister? You act like the rest of the village all day long, disrespecting your elders. It's true that your third branch is the most hopeless..."
Song Ci ignored her nagging and cursing. She was waiting for time.
Seeing that she was silent, Old Lady Song thought she was scared. She snorted coldly and finally calmed down.
The third branch has become more and more disobedient these days. Now that the eldest brother has been promoted, let's see what they dare to say.
Half an hour later.
"Oh no, oh no, old lady, uncle, second uncle, please go and take a look, there is someone making trouble at the door."
The gatekeeper crawled in and lost one of his shoes. Without even taking a breath, he told the man what had happened at the door.
"Making trouble?" Old Lady Song was furious: "Who dares to make trouble?"
Song Rouxi quickly comforted her, "Grandma, don't be angry. With Daddy here, who would dare to cause trouble in our Song family?"
"Mother, if there is anything, let your husband go and take a look. Even if they come to cause trouble, knowing your husband's official position, would they dare not give face to our Song family?" Li Yao's words gave a lot of face to Old Lady Song and Boss Song.
Boss Song even looked very proud of his official position and stroked his beard.
Old Lady Song nodded. Her son was about to become a seventh-rank official. Who was so blind as to come and cause trouble?
"Boss, go and take a look."
Boss Song smiled, looking confident: "Son, go see who is causing trouble and chase them away."
The intention of doing this is to allow Boss Song to show off his power in front of Boss Song, so as to better intimidate the people in the third house.
Song Ci covered the sneer on his lips with the teacup. "Boss Song, this is just right, isn't it?"
"Where is the person? Take me there quickly." He urged hurriedly.
The servant guarding the gate quickly pointed in a direction: "Master, this way, this way."
Boss Song snorted coldly and shook his sleeves. He wanted to see who was causing the trouble.
Before I even reached the door, I heard a lot of noise outside, and faint crying. It was intermittent and I couldn't make it out clearly.
Boss Song stood at the door and said, "Push the door open. I want to see who is so brave."
The servant guarding the door dared not to respond, and hurriedly pushed the door open. The door opened, and Boss Song walked out. Everyone outside looked at Boss Song.
The noise that was noisy just now became quiet.
At the bottom of the three steps at the door, two people, one big and one small, were kneeling.
The older one was a man with black hair, but his face was covered with traces of life's hardships, and his hands were even rougher. He slapped the stone slabs beneath him from time to time, sobbing and shouting loudly.
