Chapter 37 Song Rui lost his wife and his army
"I'm going to see my grandparents soon, so I can't go empty-handed. I'll go to the county and pick out some good gifts for them."
Song Yu looked at Song Rui with a smile.
If I'm not mistaken, he must have been planning something bad just now.
"Brother Rui, is this your sister?"
"Yes, it's my sister. It's rare for her to come to the county. I'll chat with her for a while. You guys should go back to the academy first. It's almost noon now."
After sending his classmates away, Song Rui asked, "Are you here alone?"
"Of course not." Song Yu raised his eyebrows. "Dad and Mom are here. They are inside choosing gifts for grandpa and grandma."
"Brother Rui." Song Mingen came out of the shop with a serious expression. "Why are you here? Not at the academy?"
Song Rui was most afraid of Song Mingen's serious face.
I was once caught skipping classes by Song Mingen in the county.
"Uncle, I'm here to visit a classmate at the request of the Headmaster and Master Meng."
"Is he the young master of the Chen family that the people in the city were talking about today? I heard that he is a student at your academy?"
Song Yu suddenly interrupted, and passersby looked over.
A surge of hot blood rushed from Song Rui's dantian to his brain, burning his face, reddening his ears, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Song Rui reacted quickly and quickly opened the fan in his hand to block the sun above his head to hide his extremely complicated emotions at the moment.
Song Yu must have done it on purpose!
This is the street!
"Yes... yes... he's a student of our academy. The old man of the Chen family was a kind man. He donated a library to the academy and built dormitories for students from poor families. Young Master Chen has done something like this. We at the academy are naturally unwilling to believe that he could do such a heinous thing. Now we can only wait for the government to investigate thoroughly."
"My eldest brother came home last time and asked me to come to the county..."
"Uncle, sister." Song Rui interrupted Song Yu anxiously, "The juniors and seniors have gone far away, and I have to go back to the academy."
Song Rui turned around and was about to leave. If Song Yu continued talking, it would be troublesome.
Song Yu is stupid, but passers-by are not necessarily stupid!
Song Yu curled his lips slightly. Are you scared now?
Song Yu turned and went into the shop. Now that they were on the street, she stopped there.
"Brother Rui." Song Mingen called out to Song Rui, "It's already noon, so let's go have lunch together."
Seeing Song Yu enter the shop, Song Rui felt relieved. "Okay, uncle."
"Your grandmother is ill, so please take a break from your studies at the academy. Please take some time off and go back to spend more time with her."
"Sick? Grandma was in good health before nephew left. How could she suddenly become sick?" Song Rui looked anxious, and he guessed in his heart that his grandmother was probably pretending to be sick.
Seeing that he was reacting normally, Song Mingen seemed unaware of the situation. "Don't worry, she's fine now. It's just that your grandmother is old and needs to rest for a while to recover from the cold. Your aunt said that once your grandmother recovers, we will all go to the capital."
Song Rui was very surprised. "Then my nephew went to the academy to ask for leave after lunch, and returned to the village to accompany his grandmother in the afternoon..."
The family of three took Song Rui to Cuican Building for dinner.
While waiting for the food to be served, Song Yu said to Song Rui, "Brother, now that I'm in the county, shall we go to Fuxianglou after lunch?"
"Big brother has already bought you a white jade hairpin. I'll bring it back to you when I get it back from the academy."
Song Yu smiled, "Then I won't buy it when I go to Fuxianglou. Big Brother, can you give me some other nice jewelry?"
When Song Rui heard this, he remembered the boast he had made before, and felt that he had lost both the wife and the army.
This is a huge sum of money.
It’s not that he is reluctant to spend the money, but the money cannot be wasted!
Alas, Mr. Chen is such a waste!
"Big brother said that he would give you any other accessories you like in Fuxiang Building."
Song Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled happily, "I knew that big brother doted on me the most."
"You are my only cousin, so I must pamper you."
Song Yu looked at Song Rui with a smile. If he wanted to pamper her, he couldn't just say it.
After lunch, Song Yu took Song Rui to Fuxiang Tower.
"Ming En, are we going to follow too?"
"Of course I have to go. I'm worried about Sister Yu and Song Rui being alone together."
Jiang Yunwan immediately arranged for Caiwei and others to deliver all the purchased items to Xianlai Inn, and went to Fuxiang Tower with Song Mingen.
At first, Song Rui helped Song Yu to carefully select with a calm face.
Half a minute later, my heart was bleeding.
Didn’t Song Yu just pick one or two items?
I've already picked eight items, and they're all expensive!
This adds up to almost one hundred taels.
His monthly pocket money is only three hundred taels!
If I keep picking like this...
"younger sister……"
As soon as Song Ruifu opened his mouth, Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan entered Fuxiang Building.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Song Rui pointed at the pair of earrings in front of Song Yu's left and said insincerely, "This pair of ruby earrings, big brother thinks they will look great on you."
Song Yu smiled and picked up the earrings. "Since big brother said it looks good, I want this one."
"Okay, big brother will give it to you, and you can take a look at the others."
Song Rui wanted to slap himself when he said this.
He couldn't be too stingy in front of his uncle.
From now on, he will have to rely on his uncle to work hard for him.
"Then let's go to the second floor and take a look."
Song Rui:!!!
The second floor costs at least one hundred taels!
"Okay." Song Rui forced a smile, "Then let's go upstairs."
"Brother, you are so nice."
Bai Lan, who was following behind, was so shocked that she didn't dare to say a word.
It seemed like this was the first time that the young master was so generous.
The jewelry Song Yu selected totaled exactly three hundred taels.
Most of it was given to him by Chen Chunhua, so today he will make Song Rui feel the pain.
Song Yu directly pulled Song Rui to the first floor to pay the bill.
Song Rui subconsciously looked at the figures of Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan.
His uncle and aunt are here, it's impossible for him, a junior, to pay for it, right?
At this moment, Song Mingen was holding a gold hairpin for Jiang Yunwan to try on and talking to her in a low voice.
He didn't even glance at the checkout counter.
"Brother, hurry up, you still have to go to the academy to get me the white jade and emerald hairpin."
"Oh, okay."
Song Rui paid the money and hurried back to the academy in pain.
I feel so sorry for him.
Three hundred taels!
Forget it, from now on everything that belongs to my uncle will be his.
Don't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
"Daddy and Mommy, let's go back."
Jiang Yunwan raised her eyebrows, "Don't you plan to stay in the county for another night?"
Song Yu still had a lot of things to do. "The inn is too noisy. I'd better go back to the village and get a good night's sleep."
＊
Chen Chunhua saw the light in the room growing dimmer and dimmer, her heart beating unsteadily, her breath weak, "Ming... well... they won't be coming back today either."
Nanny Wen comforted her, "The eldest master sent a message yesterday saying that he stayed in the county town because he hadn't bought all the items he had for you and the Jiang family. He must have finished shopping today and should be on his way back."
"real?"
Chen Chunhua always felt uneasy.
It seems that I really can't control my eldest son.
She was seriously ill, but he stayed out overnight.
This has never happened before!
"It's definitely on the way. You're bedridden right now, so I'll have to buy all the supplies on time. I can rest assured and stay by your side until you get better."
"Madam." Cui Liu, the head maid, walked in. "The master and his companions are back. They're at the village entrance..."
Chen Chunhua's uneasy heart calmed down, "Hurry... prepare... dinner."
