Linglong

Chapter 18

Qiao Sirou felt angry when he left the capital, although time has changed, he is in a much better mood now, seeing Song Yong is still angry from his heart, how can he give him a good face?Ignore him.

Because Old Master Qiao was getting old, Qiao Sirou didn't want him to worry about his children, so he didn't tell him about the Heqinghou Mansion.Mrs. Qiao is just old and not confused. Can he stop thinking too much when his daughter suddenly returns to her mother's house?However, Qiao Sirou has been married for many years, and has two young, handsome and obedient sons, Song Changqing and Song Changchun, under his knees, the old man Qiao will not worry about her day and night, and have trouble sleeping and eating.Seeing her daughter's indifference to her son-in-law, and his son-in-law smiling all the time, he knew what his son-in-law had done.Anyway, knowing that Sirou can't suffer in Qiao's house, Song Yong is the one who is in trouble, and he just ignores the situation of the couple.

It stands to reason that the sons Song Changqing and Song Changchun should be able to say a few good words for their father, Mr. Song Yong, but they saw the suffering of their mother one by one, and what the Heqinghou Mansion wanted to do made them feel uncomfortable. The mother and the son were heartbroken, and their faces were dull. The two brothers were simmering with anger in their hearts. They respected Song Yong as a father, and pretended not to know anything else.

Qiao Sizhong, a nephew of his own family, who usually takes care of Mrs. Qiao, has a very gentle temperament and takes care of his uncle with all his heart.After Qiao Sirou returned to her natal family, he had to deal with buying and selling land in the countryside, so he went back to his hometown.At this time, in the old house of Qiao's family, apart from Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Sirou, Song Changqing, Song Changchun, mother and son, Song Yong looked around, but couldn't find anyone who could speak for him.

If Qiao Sizhong was around, he could still beg his uncle to help him with a few words of kindness, and besides, Qiao Sirou would not be able to quarrel with her husband-in-law in front of her natal cousin, so Song Yong would have to step down.It's a pity that after Qiao Sizhong went back to his hometown and bought the fields, he felt that the life in the country was leisurely and comfortable, and he knew that his uncle would be taken care of at home, so he could rest assured, so he lived in the country for a long time.

Song Yong hesitated, at a loss.

He's enjoyed it a lot over the years.Since Yan Yunqing entered the door, he began to enjoy the blessings of Qi people.After Qiao Sirou thought about it, he even brought in several beauties for him in one go. They were fat, swallows and thin, each with their own strengths, and Song Yong had enjoyed all the beauty.In the rich and noble field, in the gentle countryside, the spring breeze is intoxicating, full of ambition.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.Qiao Sirou was originally very gentle and considerate to him, but after Yan Yunqing's death, she gradually became indifferent and ignored him.Song Yong was not a shrewd person in the first place, but he was really confused at that time, and he couldn't figure out why.Could it be that the madam actually likes Yun Qing?When Yunqing came, she was considerate to me; when Yunqing left, she was disheartened, and she didn't even care about me?
How could he have imagined that Yan Yunqing, who was the most influential and threatening, was gone, and the remaining concubines were nothing to fear, Qiao Sirou felt at ease, and simply didn't even bother to socialize with him.

The relationship between husband and wife has long since faded away due to one trouble after another. In the end, Song Yong's status in Qiao Sirou's mind became lower and lower, and became less and less important.

Old Mrs. Qiao pretended to be confused, but Song Yong had nothing to do with him; Qiao Sirou was cold, but Song Yong had nothing to do with her; with his two sons, if he put some thought into it, he could actually save one or two—father and son are father and son, flesh and blood, interrupt The bones are connected to each other—but he is a father, and he has to maintain his dignity as a father. How can he let his sons know about indecent things?He refused.

After much deliberation, he could only speak kindly to Qiao Sirou in private, "Ma'am, I'm here as the deputy commander for my husband, and the term of office is at least five years. During these five years, we have no one around us, only you and me, isn't it very clean? "After speaking, the tone gradually became gentle, and the eyes were very lingering, just like the scene of the wedding.

Qiao Sirou couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

All these years in the Heqinghou Mansion, dealing with Yan Yunqing and the beauties, how long has it been since he saw such a beautiful time?In retrospect, apart from the few years when they were newly married, the husband and wife were still affectionate, and then they had Yan Yunqing, and they never lived a comfortable life.In addition to calculations all day long, it is still calculations, what's the point.

Song Yong practiced gentle kung fu, and tried to please Qiao Sirou repeatedly.Qiao Sirou is a practical person, knowing that he can neither reconcile nor let the two sons break with the Song family and leave the Heqinghou Mansion, how could he really want to fall out with Song Yong?However, no matter how strong she is, she is only a woman of flesh and blood, who can lose her temper, be petty, and resist struggle knowing that it is useless.

A heart is already cold, and it is not easy to warm it up again.

Qiao Sirou still ignored Song Yong.

When Song Yong was in Heqinghou's mansion, he was surrounded by seven beauties, and he was very proud.At that time, only beauties could please him.At this time, he arrived at Shuntian Mansion and Qiao Sirou's natal family, but no one paid any attention to him, and no one spoiled him.Song Yong is a mediocre talent, even after coaxing Qiao Sirou for a long time, it didn't work, he was listless, he didn't know what to do.

Qiao Sirou didn't allow him to rest in the inner house and kicked him out.Song Yong was resettled alone in the outer courtyard, and he was alone in a quilt and a cold pillow, so desolate.

Qiao Sirou was extremely indifferent to Song Yong, but Yu Wenhui didn't know about this inside story.Hearing that Song Yong had arrived at Qiao's house, she discussed with Su Youting, "Thanks to Linglong's aunt's help this time, Aunt Linglong is here, we have to put down the wine for the show, please invite them?" When it's time to be passionate, how can you not want to make friends with Song Yong, the younger brother of Marquis Heqing?He agreed with all his mouth, "What the lady said is true, it should be!"

When Su Youting's appointment came down, Yu Wenhui was overjoyed, and wanted to have a few days of theater and wine at home to entertain relatives and friends.The old master Su refused, "The Su family is not a frivolous family, what kind of high-ranking officials are you doing, and it deserves such publicity?" Yu Wenhui had no choice but to give up resentfully.This time for Song Yong and his wife, Yu Wenhui expected that Mrs. Su would have nothing to say, after all, they are relatives by marriage and have benefited from others.Sure enough, after Su Youting reported, Mrs. Su nodded.

Yu Wenhui excitedly prepared a treat, and sent invitations to both the Qiao family and the Yu family.

The invitation was delivered to Yu's family. Linglong was leisurely cracking melon seeds on the big kang by the window. She looked at Mrs. Qiao's hand and said, "...As soon as the deadline comes, I'll beg you to tell me about it. Let's make it for two days." Knowing Yu Wenhui It was for a treat, so I couldn't help shaking my head, "Auntie is here to make trouble again."

Although I didn't meet Qiao Sirou and didn't communicate with each other, I could figure out with my fingers that my aunt definitely didn't want to pay attention to Song Yong.No, it's been two days since Song Yong arrived at Qiao's house, and Qiao Sirou has never gone out with him, not even Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu have come to visit.

Song Yong came all the way, probably not to blame his aunt, but to ask for peace.Since you want peace, you have to show some sincerity, right?The Heqinghou Mansion can't bully Qiao Sirou's mother and son so openly. Even if they are really determined to adopt Song Changlin, and they are determined to hand over the Heqinghou Mansion to Song Changlin, they must give Song Changqing and Song Changchun brothers an explanation.

At least, there must be some compensation.

Before the Song family and Qiao Sirou's conditions were negotiated, Yu Wenhui started to entertain guests. It wasn't trouble, it was what.

"Won't Auntie send someone over here to talk to us before you post the invitation?" Linglong kowtowed deftly at her melon seeds.

Qiao gave her a serious look, "Daughter, don't you bother me after knocking on the melon seeds for a long time?"

Qiao Shi was already muttering in her heart, don't eat more melon seeds, okay, it will dry mouth and get angry.Daughter, mother has long wanted to talk about you.

Linglong chuckled, "Not annoying, not annoying."

Cracking melon seeds, once started, can't be stopped.

Linglong took a look at the plate in front of her, saw that there was still half of the plate, and grabbed another handful under Qiao's watchful eyes, and discussed with Qiao while knocking on it with relish, "Mother, think about it, aunt As soon as there is a treat, auntie doesn’t go, it’s obvious that she doesn’t give face; if she goes, she’s going to be with uncle. She and uncle must still be competing with each other.”

"Long'er is right." Qiao Shi agreed with Linglong's idea, "Then what should we do? Long'er, who is so smart, do you have any good ideas?"

Linglong opened her small mouth and spat out the melon seeds, and said triumphantly: "Of course there is a way. Mother, let my uncle have something to do and can't go, why not? The land under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, Baiwang Mountain, Shangfang Mountain, Baihua Mountain and other places are all There are strong people infested. The officers and soldiers didn't make any big moves last winter, but they started to encircle and use troops this spring. My uncle came just in time, and I guess it is necessary to lead the soldiers out of the city to wipe out the bandits. Anyway, he is here to show his skills, but don't bury him This general's son, hurry up and let him be a hero."

"Long'er is so smart." Qiao was puzzled while boasting about her precious daughter, "But we also ordered the bandits not to move."

Daughter, what you mean is naturally that if the bandits make any changes, the officers and soldiers will have to leave the city.However, the bandits did not listen to our orders.

"We have to order my cousin." Linglong giggled, "My uncle has not gone out to visit my grandfather's house, nor has he taken up a post in the guard. Let the two cousins ​​urge him to put business first and go to the guard to meet him." Commander. This commander is about to send troops to suppress the bandits, and he is ready to make contributions. How can he be idle after seeing him? He will definitely not have time for banquets by then, so my aunt will not have to talk nonsense with him."

Qiao smiled softly, and held up Linglong's little face, "Let mother see, how can my Long'er be so smart?" Linglong's smile trembled, "Where is it, mother, Long'er is so ordinary?" , Ordinary." Although the mouth is so modest, the expression is very proud, and it looks very interesting.

Coincidentally, Song Changchun followed Qiao Sirou's order and sent several jars of fresh fruit wine from the country. Qiao was very happy, "It just so happened that your second cousin came." Linglong told her cousin in detail, "...Since the Heqinghou Mansion intends to seek peace, my aunt and the two cousins ​​must live with rare goods and cannot easily compromise. Second cousin, you can get as much benefit as you want. There is no such shop in this village. My aunt only cares about being grateful to my aunt, and has already sent an invitation to my aunt without knowing the inside story. Second cousin, you are like this..."

Song Changchun smiled, "Why is my cousin so smart? I really envy you."
