Song Tuanyuan's head was buzzing and hurting, but what needed to be solved now was the problem of the Chen family's three taels of silver, otherwise the whole Song family would have to go to the Yamen!
Looking up at this shabby house and shabby clothes, not to mention three taels of silver, that is, even a dozen copper coins cannot be scraped together!
"Mom, Double Happiness is back, what will the Chen family do with their money?" Song Fugui was thinking about the same question.
The three taels of silver were given to him by his second son, Song Fuxin, and now that Song Shuangxi is back, the money must be returned to him.
Song Tuanyuan closed her eyes and thought about the years she spent fighting cancer. How much she longed to live. Now, no matter how fucked up life is, she still has to face it!
Song Tuanyuan opened his eyes, cheered up and told Song Fugui: "Today you will be watching Song Shuangxi at home. If anyone from the Chen family comes to ask for money, just tell them that I will return it to them in the evening!"
Song Fugui asked worriedly: "Mom, where did you get three taels of silver?"
Song Tuanyuan sighed: "Go to Lao Er's place first and see if Shu Jin has been handed over. If not, take it back first!"
Song Tuanyuan made plans. First, he went to the academy to ask Song Fuxin, the second eldest son of the Song family, if he could pay the three taels of silver later. After all, the money was sold to Song Shuangxi, so it should be returned to the Chen family.
After Song Tuanyuan finished speaking, he ignored the surprised looks of Song Fugui and Song Shuangxi. He packed up a small baggage and went out to the village entrance to take an ox cart to the town.
"Brother, what did you hear mother say? Mother said to go to the academy and ask the second brother to come back to Shujin!" After a long time, Song Shuangxi whispered.
"I heard it too!" Song Fugui came back to his senses.
The second eldest son, Song Fuxin, was the hope of the entire Song family. When his father was alive, he said that no matter how poor the family was, they would still provide for the second eldest son to study. That's why the original owner sold Song Shuangxi. But today, Song Tuanyuan actually said that he would go and sell Shu
Get the gold back first!
"Brother, do you still remember the legend of the Great Immortal Weasel?" Song Shuangxi whispered.
There has always been a legend in the countryside that the weasel immortal transformed into a human and pretended to be a family member. Song Shuangxi felt that the girl in front of him must have turned into a weasel!
"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Fugui scolded Song Shuangxi in a cold voice.
Song Shuangxi secretly stuck out his tongue.
As soon as Song Tuanyuan got on the bullock cart, everyone in the village stayed away from her.
Before, when Song Xiucai was alive, the village children needed Song Xiucai if they wanted to study, write books, beliefs, charters, etc., and they also had to respect the original owner. Now that Song Xiucai is dead, even though there is a scholar like the second son of the Song family.
, everyone usually dares to be angry but dare not speak out, but if nothing happens, they stay away from Song Tuanyuan.
Song Tuanyuan didn't mind at all. She was fat and prone to drowsiness, so she happened to take a nap against the car.
Song Tuanyuan was snoring and sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a noise.
Song Tuanyuan got up and found that he had arrived at Chen Village next door. He had set up a stall at the head of the village. He said that the Chen family had invited a young man named Ji from the capital to collect herbs and rare items in the village.
"It is said that the old man Wang who sharpened the knife in Wang Village next door picked up a small knife on the mountain a few years ago and sold it to Mr. Ji. He got ten taels of silver and paid it off instantly!"
"No, I've also heard that Mr. Ji is a young man from a wealthy family in the city, and he's very generous with his money. I don't remember that a few years ago, there was a silver lock plate delivered to the eldest girl at home. I'll go
I want to come back to the town and show it to Mr. Ji Changan!"
"Is Mr. Ji a fool if he has too much money?"
…
As Song Tuanyuan listened, she thought of the three tombs outside Qingshan. She remembered that in her previous life, three tombs were dug out on the other side of the mountain. It was said that they contained good things.
Song Tuanyuan shook his head. This tomb robbing was not a serious matter. It should not be done unless it was a last resort. He had to ask Song Lao Er first.
The oxcart drove for more than an hour and arrived at the town near noon.
The academy where Song Fuxin studied was the largest academy in the eight villages within ten miles. All the noble sons in the town, who were good at learning, rushed to attend this academy.
Song Fuxin is the only one from several nearby villages who can attend this academy. It has been a great honor for the Song family for a long time.
The original owner used to like to hang around the academy when he had nothing to do. He liked to look at the academy gate and imagine how Song Fu would look like the top scholar in his letter. So Song Tuanyuan found the academy based on his memory and the familiar route.
It's spring, the academy has just started school, and the weather is nice today. There are a few students chatting around the entrance of the academy.
Just when Song Tuanyuan was about to go up and ask them if they knew Song Fuxin, he heard one of the students say: "I heard that there is a flower viewing bureau at Sufangzhai today, and even Mr. Lu, the great writer in the town, will go!
"
"Mr. Lu? But Mr. Chengfu's mentor, Mr. Lu?" Another student immediately became interested.
"In the nearby towns, who else can be worthy of the title of Mr. Lu, besides Mr. Lu?" The student looked at the other student with disdain.
"Mr. Lu is an elegant and elegant person. Every spring when the peonies bloom in Sufangzhai, he invites three or five friends to a banquet to enjoy the flowers, write poems and appreciate the beauties. It is said that some students from our academy are also invited to participate!"
"Who's gone? How did such a good thing come about? If Mr. Lu takes a fancy to him and helps write a letter of recommendation, then he will definitely go to high school next year!"
…
The more Song Tuanyuan listened, the more he frowned. Mr. Lu had some impression in the memory of the original owner's rebirth that he was an arty old lecher who had brought trouble to many students by writing letters of recommendation for students.
"Song Fuxin, Song Fuxin has been selected!" A student's words gave Song Tuanyuan a blow. Would the second son of the Song family go to that kind of place?
Song Tuanyuan thought about it carefully and found that he had never heard Song Fuxin talk about this matter in his previous life. He only remembered that Song Fuxin successfully passed the imperial exam the next year, won the first prize three years later, and then married the daughter of the current Protector of the Country.
, although the couple was not very loving, they never had children, and later they rebelled...
Song Tuanyuan's eyes suddenly widened. I heard that King Liang was also a seductress. Could it be that Song Fuxin was raped by this thief Lu and then had sex with him, so he could not live a good life and had to follow Liang?
The king went to rebel?
Song Tuanyuan frowned, no, no matter whether this happened or not, the second son of the Song family should stay away from this thief Lu!
Song Tuanyuan was about to step forward to ask where Song Fuxin was when he heard someone shouting: "Mom, why are you here?"
Song Tuanyuan looked back and saw a young man in his prime of fifteen or sixteen years old walking out of the academy. He was wearing a lake green gown, a natural white jade belt around his waist, and white silver silk shoes.
Cleanliness, dawn breeze and clear moon, fragrance of Mingzhi tea...
Wait, Song Tuanyuan frowned slightly as she looked at Song Fujin's outfit. Every year, the Song family was struggling to collect money for Song Fujin. This year, they even sold their daughter. Where did Song Fujin get the money to buy a white jade belt and silver boots?
Seeing Song Tuanyuan looking at his outfit, Song Fuxin quickly said: "Mom, these clothes and belt are... borrowed!"
Song Fuxin said, lowered his head and squinted his eyes.
