Chapter 162 Chapter 162 I can’t listen any longer…
Song Ling couldn't bear to listen any longer and just stood up and left.
After leaving, Song Ling did not go to buy rouge nor look for Su Li. He first went back to his house to change clothes, and then rode his horse out of the city.
By the lake, a jujube-colored Arabian horse was strolling leisurely, occasionally eating fresh grass.
Song Ling lay on the grass and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
To be honest, Song Ling almost forgot how long it had been since he had relaxed like this, and also how long it had been since he had galloped freely on horseback.
He remembered that when he was young, whenever he felt upset, he would ride out of Chang'an, find a secluded place, hold a piece of grass in his mouth, lie quietly for a while, and wait until it was dark before he would lead his horse back in the afterglow of the setting sun.
At that time, Song Ling never thought that he would be separated from his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, nor did he ever think that one day he would become the person he hated the most, dull, hesitant, indecisive, and full of calculations.
I never thought that one day I would fall in love with a young lady but I wouldn't even dare to say that I liked her.
The young man who dared to love and hate and was so unrestrained would definitely laugh at my current self if he saw this, right?
Song Ling could even imagine what he looked like. He would definitely hold his head high, look at him with contempt, and then say, "Coward."
Song Ling knew that he would.
Maybe he would even curse, saying that you are hiding your true identity and are a rat.
He knew him so well and missed him so much that in the years that followed, he prayed to God almost every moment that time would stay at that moment forever.
If possible, he would be willing to pay any price.
But perhaps God was too busy to care about the suffering of all living beings in this world, and his prayers ultimately became extravagant.
Song Ling could only see him occasionally in her dreams.
He was still full of vigor, holding a silver spear, and looked like he didn't know how high the heavens were. Then, he saw Song Ling hiding in the shadows and laughed at him, "Song Ling, how did you become like this?"
.
Song Ling pressed the corners of his eyes before opening them. He didn't know how long he had been lying there. The sky had turned gray and a cold wind was blowing from the woods.
Thinking of the dream just now, Song Ling was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.
He stood up, called the colt, hesitated for a moment, and finally rode his horse to Wen Mansion.
"Uncle Meng, why are you here? Have you had dinner? Why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Lin looked at Song Ling with some surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that Song Ling would come so late.
"Aunt, I'm here to take Cheng'an back to stay for a few days." Song Ling did not agree and directly explained her purpose.
Lin didn't stop him when she heard that. After all, it was possible that Uncle Meng missed his nephew after not seeing him for so many days. After all, there were only two of them left in the Song family, so it was normal for them to have deep feelings for each other.
Call the maid to bring the child over.
When the man came and saw Song Ling, he rushed over happily. Although the child could not speak, Lin knew that he missed the other person very much.
"Look how happy he is." Lin said with a smile.
The old woman next to him also smiled kindly, "Yes."
Before leaving, Lin asked again, "Are you really not staying for dinner?"
"No, I'll take Cheng'an to...Su Ji Restaurant to eat." Song Ling paused but still said it.
When Lin heard this, something flashed through her mind. She was a little bit unbelievable, but she quickly reacted and said happily, "It's time to go. Go ahead and eat more."
Song Ling's ears turned red when he saw this, but he did not avoid it like before. Instead, he nodded calmly, led the horse and helped Cheng An away.
Lin watched the two men and their horse disappear at the end of the street until they could no longer be seen. As dusk fell, Lin suddenly felt like crying for some reason. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes. "He finally figured it out."
Seeing this, the old woman next to her comforted her, "This is a good thing, my lady, don't be sad anymore."
Lin smiled, "I'm not sad, I'm happy."
"I still have to prepare the betrothal gifts for Uncle Meng."
.
Su Ji Grilled Fish Shop,
"Mr. Song."
"Xiao An, you're here. Long time no see!" Su Li first greeted Song Ling, then squatted down and greeted the little boy next to her.
Speaking of which, Su Li hasn't seen him for a long time since they last met in Wen Mansion. Back when they were in Qinghe County, the little boy would come to the restaurant almost every day, rain or shine. As Su Li's youngest and most loyal diner, Su Li liked him very much and would make delicious food to feed him and Lian Gu from time to time. Every time Su Li saw the two little guys' eyes shining because of the food, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Unfortunately, Lian Gu now stays in Qinghe County, and Xiao Cheng'an no longer comes every day like before. Su Li still feels a little sad.
Just as Su Li was sighing, a cold voice suddenly sounded above her head.
"He bought you a present."
A gift? Su Li looked over and saw that Song Ling was holding a box.
Song Ling's voice sounded again, "He asked you to open it and see if you like it."
Su Li stood up, took it and opened it, and saw a peach wood hairpin lying inside?
This surprised Su Li a little. She thought it was a handicraft made by a child, but she didn't expect it to be a hairpin. However, Su Li was still very happy and turned to Xiao Cheng'an.
"Thank you, Xiao An. I like it very much."
The wooden hairpin shouldn't be a very valuable item, so Su Li accepted it. Then, in return for the favor, she turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare something delicious to feed the two of them.
After Su Li left, Xiao Cheng'an looked at the man in front of him speechlessly.
The little boy really didn't understand why his uncle said he bought the gift.
He obviously bought it himself. …
However, what Xiao Cheng'an didn't expect was that for many days afterwards, his uncle bought gifts every day and gave them to him in his name.
On this day, Song Ling used the name of Xiao Cheng'an to pick some red plums and gave them to Su Li. These red plums were extremely rare in Jizhou City. Su Li didn't want to accept them at first, but she couldn't help but took them.
"Xiao An, Young Master Song, please don't send me anything in the future." Su Li felt a little embarrassed to receive it. These days, the two of them either gave her cute clay figurines, or rouge, powder, and small things like hairpins. There were so many that they couldn't even fit on the dressing table at home. If she didn't clearly know the gap between her and Young Master Song, she would have suspected that he wanted to pursue her.
But...that shouldn't be possible, right?
Not only Su Li didn't believe it, but the Su family members didn't believe it either. Even though Song Ling's behavior was very obvious and even Chen Shi had noticed something, Su's father still said, "It must be that the child likes Wu Ya."
Su Qingshan, "Yes, mother, how could Mr. Song like the fifth sister?"
Su Qinghe, "Yes, mother, you must have seen it wrong."
Seeing that her usually clever third son thought she was overthinking things, Chen couldn't help but wonder if she was really overthinking things. Could it be that it was just a child who liked Wu Ya?
No, that's not right. As a woman, Chen still feels that something is wrong with her sixth sense.
Fangcao, who was sewing clothes, stood beside Chen this time and said, "I think what mother said makes sense."
Fangcao had met Mr. Song several times. She had seen the way he looked at her younger sister, which was different from the way he looked at other people. She had never found evidence, but now she had found it.
"Sister-in-law, you are also meddling in mother's affairs." Su Qingshan was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Fangcao and his mother were overthinking it. Young Master Song didn't do anything. He was just accompanying his nephew.
Hearing this, Fangcao shut up.
Su Qinghe was unhappy, "What are you talking about? You are the only one who can speak, but we Fangcao can't, right?"
Su Qingshan: …
When did he have this intention? Isn't that...
Oh, he has a point but can't explain it clearly.
Su Qingshan just stood up and walked out.
However, it was also a coincidence that they ran into Su Li bringing Song Ling and Xiao Cheng'an in.
"Mr. Song? Little sister!?"
Su Qingshan was confused. How could they be together?
Su Li didn't know how to explain it. Thinking of the decision she had just made in a hurry, she began to regret it.
Why did I take the initiative to ask them to go back to my house to celebrate the New Year just because they felt sorry for me?! What the hell is going on here?!
But whenever Su Li thought of the man's lonely expression and the child's expectant look, she couldn't bring herself to ask them to go back.
Forget it, just consider it as a good deed...!
After all, strictly speaking, Master Song and Xiao Cheng'an are also orphans. During the Chinese New Year, their only relative, Madam Lin, returned to Qinghe County. The two of them are really pitiful.
Su Li told Su Qingshan the whole story. Su Qingshan just said "Oh" and obviously didn't recover from the incident.
Seeing this, Su Li took Song Ling and Xiao Cheng'an into the yard. After seeing her mother, she repeated what she had just said to her second brother Su Qingshan.
So the Su family was stunned.
In the end, it was Mrs. Wu who reacted quickly. "Come in and warm your hands. Qingshan's mother, go make some tea."
"Sorry to bother you all." Song Ling looked well-behaved, and the little Cheng'an next to him was the same as him.
Mrs. Wu now loves children the most. When she saw the little Cheng'an, her heart softened. She quickly went to bring him over, gave him some candy, warmed his hands, and fed him water.
It was similar on Song Ling's side. After Old Man Su and Su's father reacted, they hurried forward to welcome the person into the house.
"Mr. Song, have some tea."
"Mr. Song, have some candy."
"Mr. Song, here is a hot water bottle..."
For a moment, everyone in the Su family surrounded the two of them. Seeing this, Song Ling quickly told everyone to stop.
Here, Su Li was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and Chen and others were helping her.
"By the way, Wu Ya, how are you and Zhao Jia Sanlang doing recently?" Chen asked casually.
Although what she really wanted to ask was what was going on between Su Li and Young Master Song.
Su Li paused while cooking and thought seriously, "He's a good person, but I don't think he and I are a good match."
At the beginning, Su Li actually thought that Zhao Sanlang was quite good. He was good-looking, spoke humorously, and was generally a good person. But after a few contacts, Su Li discovered that this man was actually very patriarchal in nature, especially the things he said and did inadvertently, which made Su Li feel uncomfortable.
It was also at this time that Su Li discovered that this world was still a feudal dynasty after all, and many things were engraved in people's bones, such as men's contempt for women and their abnormal demands on women.
But these are what Su Li doesn't want. If she marries such a person, Su Li dare not imagine what the future will be like.
It is possible that the Zhao family will strip her of her bones and eat her until not even a bone is left. However, it is likely that she does not want to be skinned and eaten, and both sides will suffer in the end.
In short, after Su Li seriously thought about the fact that there would be no good results if the two of them were together, she mentally passed this person over.
