Song Min's face was full of anger, but he did not rush to speak, but went forward to serve Song Yu and drink medicine first.

The more Song Min didn't say that Mrs. Rong was more anxious, but she couldn't urge Song Min, so she had to sit aside and look at her two sons in front of her.

Song Yu and Song Min's eyebrows were both like Song Qizheng, with thick black eyebrows, big and energetic eyes, and very heroic.

Song Yu's face followed her, with a little more elegant and a kind of bookish atmosphere.

Song Min has a slightly wider jaw, a cheerful and straightforward temper, and she is particularly likable when she smiles.

Both of her sons are intimate and sensible. But now they are lying sickly on the bed, and the other is gloomy and full of anger.

Not to mention that the two of them were confined to their homes, they were also trapped in the mansion.

It's all because of Song Xian.

Song Min put the empty medicine bowl on the table and poured another cup of hot tea for Mrs. Rong.

Mrs. Rong tasted a bit of tea and barely held back the tears in her eyes. She thought that after the northern border was stable, the family could finally be reunited and happily together, but she did not know that this was the result.

Song Min said: "Song Xian had known that the court would send Shangguan to come and secretly handle the matter. Someone found a group of unruly people from somewhere to play in front of Li You. Now in Li You's heart, Song Xian is a good official who is dedicated to serving the country and the people, and his second brother has become a treacherous slander who exploits the people."

Song Min said about the papermaking workshop: "Li You sent the dried paper to Beijing, and he must be speaking for Song Xian. Li You is the person trusted by the emperor. In this way, the power of the military station in Zhenzhou will definitely fall into Song Xian's hands."

Although Mrs. Rong had expected it, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Song Min talk with her own ears. The master told her that she intended to let Brother Yu take over Zhenjiang, but now she is falling into Song Xian's hands.

Compared to Song Min's furiousness, Song Yu seemed much gentler. He interrupted Song Min: "Don't bother my mother with this matter anymore, I didn't do it well."

"What did the second brother not do well?" Song Min said, "Why did the second brother want money? Don't my father know? After the war with the Liao people this time, we lost so many soldiers and horses. If we want to raise soldiers, we have to spend money. Where is the money allocated to us by the court that explicitly allocated us enough? If we don't think of a solution, wouldn't we be strangled to the mouthpiece?

It would be fine if Song Xian didn’t help, but he had to cut off the firewood from the cauldron. Is he a member of the Song family?"

Song Yu frowned and warned his younger brother again: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, go out first, I will talk to my mother."

"I won't go," Song Min said, "I can't speak up some things without singling. Let's make it clear now. Only my mother will know about this."

Mrs. Rong didn't know what Song Min was referring to, so she raised her head and looked at her younger son.

"Mother," Song Min had a stern face, "Tell us the truth. My father said on the surface that he gave Zhenjiang to his second brother, but in fact, he had already decided to give it to his eldest brother?"

Mrs. Rong was very surprised: "Where did you say this?"

Song Min sneered: "This kind of thing is not once or twice. The gentleman invited by Song Xian when he was a child, the martial arts master is the best. He is the eldest son of his father. His father devotes all his efforts to him. Chang Yue, Chang'an and several generals around Song Xian were chosen by his father.

There are also people around me, but they are not as good as theirs.

If Song Xian has made so many military achievements, he would not have his father to help him? Can you believe this? It is not just the courage of the leader who can win the battle."

Song Min said as he picked up the tea and drank it all. He wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth: "We also have the opportunity to make achievements, but my father does not allow us to come forward, because he is afraid of stealing Song Xian's limelight."

When Mrs. Rong heard this, she retorted: "No... it's because my mother is afraid that you will be hurt. You are still young after all. Your father is away all day long and I'm worried about it. You go again... If something goes wrong, how will I live?"

"Mom should not be deceived by her father," said Song Min. "The most important thing for a family like us is not a rich family, but military merits. How can we convince the public without military merits? Just like this time, if Song Xian can do whatever he wants in Zhenzhou, we can only suffer a loss and cannot confront him.

After all, our brothers rely on their father's protection, and Song Xian has the official position of the court, his own military and horses, and can also directly interact with the imperial court officials.

The wealth is just a passing cloud. My father locked my mother in a corner of the house, but secretly taught Song Xian how to establish a foothold in the court. Song Xian inherited his father's ability. His father did not say it on the surface, but he had long given everything to his eldest son."

Mrs. Rong's hands and feet were cold when she heard it.

While he was talking, a manager came to report: "The master asked someone to send corn porridge and some side dishes to his wife."

Song Qizheng has been dealing with official duties outside. He was able to send these things back, but he was still thinking about their mother and son.

In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with food.

Mrs. Rong looked at the dishes and knew that these were for people to nourish themselves. The master didn't say it, but he was still concerned about Brother Yu.

Mrs. Rong felt weak and wanted to persuade her two sons.

Song Min spoke first: "My father knew that using these can stabilize his mother and our brothers, and we were also deceived by his father for so many years."

Mrs. Rong wanted Song Min to shut up, but this was heard by the master, and the master must punish him.

"Don't be afraid, Mother," said Song Min. "Even if my father knows, he will just beat me up. When Song Xian controls the entire Song family, my second brother and I still don't know what the outcome will be."

Mrs. Rong shivered.

Song Min continued: "Look at his natural affectionate appearance, he never laughs in front of others, nor gives us any face. Such a person will not spare our lives even if we kneel under his feet.

Mother, don’t forget how Song Xian instigated someone to assassinate his father, even his biological father could do it, let alone us.”

Mrs. Rong was completely out of her mind when her son said: "What should I do?"

Song Min glanced at Song Yu on the couch: "My mother wants to tell her father to give her second brother some of the family generals around her. Whether we can save our lives in the future depends on how many soldiers we have in our hands."

Mrs. Rong understood what Song Min meant that she wanted to find a way to protect the two children.

After saying that, Song Min hurriedly got up and went out: "I have to go inquire about the news."

Mrs. Rong was worried: "Don't do it nonsense."

Song Min smiled faintly: "You can't be at the mercy of others. Even if I can't do anything, I have to check what Song Xian wants to plan."

Mrs. Rong wanted to hold Song Min, and Song Min smiled and said, "Mother takes good care of her second brother."

After saying that, Song Min walked out of the house without looking back and came to a teahouse.

Song Min went up to the second floor, and someone had been waiting there long ago.

"Third Master."

Song Min looked over and said that someone had been waiting there for a long time. After seeing him, the man looked excited on his face and hurriedly came forward to salute.

Song Min's face was full of smiles, which gave people a very friendly feeling. He lifted his robe and sat on the chair first: "Sit down and talk, there is no need to be too polite."

Mr. Dong responded, sat down tremblingly, and waited for Song Min to speak.

"How is it? You've found out?" Song Min asked.

Mr. Dong immediately said, "I asked clearly. The one who presented the prescription in the paper shop was Xie Shaoshan's niece. Xie Shaoshan was a scholar in the 12th year of Yuanping. He had some business in Zhenzhou. His niece was abducted by a child since he was a child. He was found back."

Mr. Dong carefully reported the matters of the Xie family to Song Min, especially Xie Liangchen's life experience.

After saying this, Mr. Dong continued, "I asked Xie Shaoshan. They didn't know the Song family's uncle, and they didn't know where the prescription came from."

Song Min looked at Mr. Dong: "What are they telling the truth?"

Mr. Dong did not dare to say anything: "Some day ago, Xie Shaoshan asked me to do business for the second and third masters. When Manager Xu was arrested, Xie Shaoshan and I waited for Manager Xu in the restaurant.

It was also the day that Xie Shaoshan's niece left the Xie family and followed her grandmother to Chenjia Village."

Song Min turned the teacup in his hand. This matter sounded more like a coincidence. Xie Xianfang happened to help Song Xian.

Mr. Dong whispered: "I mentioned Xie Shaoshan and asked him to go to Chenjia Village to inquire about the news."

Song Min raised his eyes: "If things are done, there will naturally be benefits for you."

Mr. Dong stood up and hurriedly thanked: "It is our blessing to be able to do things for the third master."

Song Min stopped talking, and Mr. Dong bowed and slowly withdrew from the teahouse.

There were no one else in the teahouse. Song Min picked up the tea bowl and put it in his mouth and tasted it. The tea was not as bad as he thought. It was really as Dong Jiang said, so Xie was not difficult to deal with.

As long as Li You knows that there is no "discounting" that Song Xian has arranged in advance to deceive Shangguan, everything will be a turn.

Song Min did not take the people of Xie and Chenjia Village seriously. Even if Xie happened to "promote the prescription", it was Song Xian who contributed the fire. Without Song Xian, the villagers could not do anything.

Xie's family is just a farmer girl, so it's more than enough to let Dong Jiang go, and he would stare at Song Xian here, and it would be best to catch someone in front of him when Song Xian ordered the Chenjia Village to do business.

...

Chenjia Village.

Old Mrs. Chen listened to her granddaughter chattering in her ears.

"The eggs can't be sold out in the future."

"You have to store some good things at home."

"Look at General Song is here this time. When he leaves, can't he find any good things to give to others?"

Xie Liangchen decided to borrow Song Xian's banner and change his grandmother's habits.

Old Mrs. Chen wanted to refute her granddaughter, but she felt that her granddaughter's words made some sense.

Old Mrs. Chen finally couldn't help but say, "That's General Song, would you like us to send eggs?"

"Why aren't it rare? That's the intention," Xie Liangchen said. "We can collect four eggs a day. We can eat three and keep one. When General Song comes next time, cook a few for General Song to bring."

Old Mrs. Chen calculated carefully. The granddaughter's account was wrong. She kept the eggs to thank General Song, but three of the four eggs were inserted into their stomachs. No matter how you look at General Song, they are all matched.

Xie Liangchen worked quickly and occasionally talked to his grandmother. When he saw his reluctant expression, he secretly laughed.

"If grandma can't bear to bear it, we'll eat all the eggs."

Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "I'm willing to give up." My granddaughter's belly was a bottomless pit and she couldn't fill up any number of eggs.

There are more and more medicinal materials in the yard. Xie Liangchen looks at Chen Yongsheng: "Second uncle, it's time to send them to the city. Let's go three or four times, and it's going to dark."

Chen Yongsheng nodded and ordered someone to carry the medicinal materials to the paper shop.

Xie Liangchen looked at Chen Zigeng: "My brother went there and remembered the number of medicinal materials. If there were other families who sent medicine to the paper shop, they would separate them from them. In short, after all, the managers of the paper shop were clear, they would clear their wealth."

Chen Zigeng nodded.
