Chapter 347 Being left behind
Song Guangyan hadn't slept so well for a long time. After meeting his father, he finally felt at ease. After he was completely relaxed, he fell into a sleep without knowing what was going on.
Mrs. Xu called her several times, but Song Guangyan didn't answer. Later, Mr. Song couldn't bear it anymore and lifted his son off the kang by his ears.
Song Guangyan finally woke up completely and remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep in Zhao's house as soon as he entered the door.
Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing came over and helped Song Guangyan to the Song family.
After entering the door, he sat on his father's kang and watched Mr. Song familiarly move the kang table. Mrs. Xu put all the hot meals on it.
"Eat it," Mrs. Xu said, "We all ate it at Zhao's house."
A long table was set up at the Zhao family's place, and Xu and her children met a lot of people at once. At first, she thought they were all people of the same surname and clan, but later she found out that they all met on the way to move, and the sixteen families walked together.
When we arrived in Taozhou, we entered Fengxia Village together.
Song Guangyan looked at the peeled eggs in the bowl with hesitation on his face.
Song Er said again: "You can eat it, sir. Our old lady is not short of this."
Song Guangyan thought of the donkey cart and the smell of roasted eggs in the donkey cart. He didn't expect that the person in the donkey cart was his father.
Song Guangyan looked at Mrs. Xu and his children again.
This time Mr. Song said: "Don't look at it, everyone has eaten it, just a few eggs."
Just a few eggs?
Listen to how loud my father is. They must have had no shortage of eggs in the past. This is not because he was convicted. He collected some money from top to bottom. When my father and the others were moving, they encountered bandits again and lost all their food rations...
If he didn't have this, he wouldn't think so much.
However, despite his father's words, Song Guangyan would not really eat eggs casually as in the village. In such a village, everyone is finally full. The reason why he can take out the eggs is because of his father's face.
superior.
Song Guangyan peeled the egg and put it into his mouth. He thought it was really sweet, but he ate it too quickly and his mouth was dry. He choked when he swallowed it. Thanks to Mrs. Xu who brought him water, he swallowed it down.
Mr. Song said: "Look at your potential."
Song Guangyan smiled at his father. The champion still had some manners.
After dinner, the family gathered together, and Song Guangyan had the opportunity to ask: "Dad, what happened to the Zhao family you were in before?"
Mrs. Xu immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully. She also heard the girl from the Zhao family say that they were all students of her father, and they were villagers who couldn't give much support, so they took care of this place more on weekdays.
Mrs. Xu, however, felt that it was not that simple, because her father's temperament would not allow him to go to just any student's home, and there was a large gap in the courtyard wall between the two houses, so he could move back and forth without opening the door.
Mr. Song said: "I have accepted a girl from the Zhao family as a closed disciple. When I see her from now on, I will call her junior sister."
Song Guangyan choked.
"What?" Mr. Song glared at him, "Can't I accept students?"
"No," Song Guangyan said, "It's just a bit unexpected. Dad, you clearly said before..." The disciples are all trash, and I will no longer accept disciples.
Mr. Song snorted coldly: "I met her on the road and thought she had a good nature, so I just accepted her."
Song Guangyan wanted to ask something else.
Mr. Song stood up and said, "Let's rest early. We have to report to the government office tomorrow."
Mr. Song said and went into the house: "There is a kang in the back room. I will sleep over there."
Song Guangyan stood up and helped Mr. Song into the house, helped Mr. Song lie down, and then came back to rest.
The family of four finally got home after jolting for a long time. The two children lay down and fell asleep. Mrs. Xu whispered to the side: "Master, I always feel that dad is different. I still remember when the master was demoted.
The old man sold almost all the books at home and said he would never teach students again, so why did he accept a girl as a closed disciple?"
Song Guangyan nodded. In fact, when he first started gathering evidence to deal with the Feng family, his father said that he could only read and knew nothing about the rest. To put it bluntly, he was a loser who could write.
He struggled for a long time, but in the end he failed to sue the Feng family and was pushed out by the Taifu Party to take the blame, implicating several colleagues to suffer.
Now that I think about it, what dad said does make sense.
"Is it possible," Mrs. Xu said, "that Dad has put down his books and started doing farm work?"
Song Guangyan also thought this way. Maybe his father felt that studying was really useless, and he might as well farm, at least he could harvest food. But... who were the people who sent him letters? He was sent to Qiongzhou to take office, and he also wanted to do something practical for the people, but
I found that the local situation was in chaos, with bandits and pirates running rampant, and there were some local tribes that simply did not listen to the court's orders.
When he received the letter, he was about to go to one of the largest tribes in Qiongzhou. It was extraordinary that the messenger could find him. His father asked him to come to Taozhou, but he did not dare to disobey, so he asked his colleagues to help him transfer.
He thought it might take a few months to get any news, but he didn't expect it to go very smoothly. He got the official document soon, and he thought that someone would help him.
Song Guangyan sighed, it seemed that his father was not going to explain everything clearly to him, and he had to think about it slowly by himself.
The next day, when Song Guangyan heard the rooster crow, he got up and wanted to pack the luggage he had brought. When he got dressed and walked out, Song Guangyan met Wang Da.
Wang Dacai came back from outside and was cleaning the snow off my body. When he saw Song Guangyan, Wang Dacai said hurriedly: "Master, you got up so early?"
Song Guangyan nodded and said, "What are you doing outside?"
Wang Da touched his head: "When I first came here, I wanted to look around."
Speaking of this, Wang Daodao said: "Sir, the men in this village get up early every day and go to the woods to practice boxing."
Song Guangyan was very surprised.
"There are at least twenty or thirty of them. The youngest one, I think, is only thirteen or fourteen years old." Wang Da smiled innocently, "Sir, I think this village is different. They didn't even bother me when I was there. They also said, if
I want to go too, call me tomorrow morning."
Wang Ziranzhi wanted to go. He couldn't read, but he had a lot of strength.
Song Guangyan nodded: "You can go if you want. From now on... we will live here too."
Seeing how much his father liked Fengxia Village, he didn't want to move. Besides, they had to remember how kind they were in taking care of his father, right? And Song Guangyan touched his money bag, Zhuangyuanlang
No money.
Song Guangyan sighed, and after he went to the government office, he could come and talk to his... junior sister, and it would be fine to do something to repay the village.
Song Guangyan was meticulous in his work as an official. After arriving in Taozhou, he hurriedly reported to the government office. The official document said that he came to Taozhou to wait for the missing son. Before the appointment, he could only be idle. He was not as old as his father, but he could not
As soon as he stretched out his hands and feet, Song Guangyan lamented his uselessness again.
After unpacking his two boxes of books and tidying them up, Song Guangyan went to have breakfast. The No. 1 scholar walked into the house but his father was not there.
Song Guangyan was about to go out to look for it when he saw Mrs. Xu hurriedly entering the door.
"What's wrong?" Song Guangyan asked.
Mrs. Xu looked anxious: "When I went to pack the books, my father was invited away by the Zhao family, saying that he wanted to discuss something. Just now, the second brother of the Zhao family came over and said that Mr. Xie from Beijing sent someone to the village to ask someone to go to the Yamen.
Sign in."
Song Guangyan heard in his ears "Mr.
"
After he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Xu standing there with a strange expression and did not prepare as he said.
Song Guangyan cast a questioning look, and Mrs. Xu hesitated and said: "Sir, Mr. Xie invited my father and junior sister, and by the way, there are also people from Fengxia Village. I didn't mention the master."
Huh? Zhuang Yuanlang's whole body froze.
Has he been left behind?
