Fourth Master Song returned to Beijing very proudly. He felt that with his achievements in donating potatoes and corn, he might be able to compete with the people of the Yi branch.

He doesn't feel that he is inferior to the direct descendants. He has been a genius since he was a child, and now God has rewarded him with Yue'er. Why should he make way for the direct descendants? Why?

In his hometown in Jiangling, he was his father's bastard, and his aunt came from a little-known family. At that time, his maternal grandfather was just a rather poor wandering doctor, but he still relied on his own efforts to get ahead and bring his family to the forefront.

Are the direct brothers here stepping under their feet?

He felt that when he arrived in Beijing, he could also kill his cousins ​​from the direct branch and rise to the top. At least, none of his peers from the direct branch could compare with him.

The servants of the Song Dynasty who went to greet him at the pier in the south of the city were obviously stunned when they saw the large ship and a large family. He did not expect that Song Si would bring so many things to the capital.

Damn it, there are not enough carriages and servants to move things!

A foreign steward of the Song Mansion hurriedly asked people to go home and send more people over.

Li Gui, the chief steward of the Song Dynasty, frowned immediately after hearing this and murmured in his heart: What does Song Si want to do? Does he think that he can stay in the capital by donating some potatoes and corn? He is overestimating his capabilities!

So he immediately reported the matter to Mr. Song, who was sitting by his pond fishing for koi.

The old man of the Song Dynasty served as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet before he retired from office. After he retired from office due to health reasons, the emperor gave him a false position as the Crown Prince to show his respect.

The direct branch of the Song family is a top-notch family in the capital, with a profound foundation. There are not many children of the Song family who have been admitted to the imperial examinations. Those who have only won the imperial examination are embarrassed to say it. If they are just scholars, they are basically illiterate in the Song family.

The Song Family School is even more popular among aristocratic families in the capital. Any family with a poor foundation will try their best to build connections and send their children to the Song Family to take classes.

When Song Jianming married the eldest daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, he was just a handsome but poor concubine of the Song family. The money in his pocket was only enough for him to dress decently, but he could never buy a decent house in the capital.

of.

The Liang family helped buy the house. The father from Jiangling's hometown only subsidized 3,000 taels of silver. The direct descendant in the capital was more generous than his biological father. Mr. Song gave a subsidy of 5,000 taels, but in total, even the decoration

Not even enough to spend.

Fortunately, Mr. Liang, the minister, loved his daughter. Liang's mother was born in a noble family and was not short of money. She just spent nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy Song Si a very nice house near the ancestral home of the direct descendant of the Song family.

House.

In order to allow her three legitimate sons to study in the Song family, Mrs. Liang refused to go to Lingnan with Song Jianming. She and her husband had not seen each other for nearly six years, and she was both excited and a little panicked.

Song Jianming mentioned in his family letters that Chun He and Qiu Yu had a child. Song Jianming also told her about carrying Aunt He into the house. However, Song Jianming told her that he only accepted Aunt He because he had just arrived in Guangzhou and was not familiar with the place where he lived.

She was a local wealthy businessman, and she only wanted to get Aunt He in order to gain a foothold quickly, and she also made her mistakenly worry too much.

"A husband's heart lies with his wife." Song Jianming wrote in the letter.

Fortunately, Song Qingyue didn't see this letter. If she saw it, she would definitely scold her father unfilially: Scumbag! Master Pua!

Mrs. Liang read this letter from home over and over again, and she read that sentence over and over again.

In the past six years, she had wavered countless times, not knowing whether her decision was right or wrong, but her mother and grandmother always comforted her. Women can only rely on their sons for the rest of their lives, and men are unreliable!

"Think about it, your sons are all from the Song family school. How can those little bastards born in Lingnan compare with your sons? Even if you followed Song Si to Lingnan, do you think you and him are really good?

Can we live with Hemeimei for the rest of our lives?"

Mrs. Liang has been conflicted and entangled, but she has also spent these years at ease. She has no parents-in-law to serve, no sisters-in-law to serve, and apart from her as the main wife, there is only one Aunt Lin who gave birth to the second young lady in the family.

The niece of the fourth master of Song Dynasty.

Song Si didn't like this Lin at all, and she basically had no affection for him. She also sent away all the maids and personal girls arranged by Song Si's aunt in the past. She gave Song Si the spring, summer, autumn and winter that she took to Lingnan.

Everything I brought from my mother's family is easy to handle.

On the other side, Aunt He was wringing her handkerchief uneasily in the carriage, and she broke two of the handkerchiefs along the way.

When she was at the dock, she wanted to get Fourth Master Song to ride in a carriage with her, but Fourth Master Song just said: "Okay, don't make trouble, you and Grandma Qin are in the same carriage."

As gentle as his tone was, his heart was so cold and unyielding.

He originally wanted to take his third sister, Song Qingyue, with him in the car, but he thought carefully about it, fearing that his wife would be irritated when she saw him getting out of the car with a strange little daughter, and she would not like Song Qingyue in the future.

He also wanted to give Song San the status of his legitimate daughter. Such a big treasure would be wasted if she married at a low age. He also hoped that Liang could buy more dowry for Song Qingyue.

If Song Qingyue knew her father's plan, she would stick a bowl of beef ramen on his head and expect her aunt to spend money to buy a dowry for her concubine's daughter. Is she crazy?

She can save her dowry herself without asking anyone!

Now she already has nearly one thousand taels of silver in the profits from the chicken farm and the chili sauce factory, and will continue to receive about 500 taels of silver in dividends every year. With this capital, how can she spend money on the wedding?

Free up your own dowry!

In the carriage, Song Chenfei, the fifth brother who was one month younger than her, was sleeping soundly in Aunt Qiu's arms. Song Qingyue was not close to her biological mother, Aunt Chun. She was not only illiterate, but also had some depression tendencies.

Song Qingyue didn't want to be so cold to Aunt Chun. After all, every time she fell ill and fell into a coma, Aunt Chun always tried her best to take care of her.

But in fact, every time she stayed with Aunt Chun, Aunt Chun treated her as an emotional trash can and dumped her negative emotions and all the sorrows on her. After Song Qingyue tried to persuade her many times to no avail, she decisively gave up.

Although she pitied her, Song Qingyue felt that she would be crazy if she really lived with Aunt Chun.

Moreover, Aunt Chun spent all day spreading her half-understood Christian ideas to an atheist like her, who had incompatible views and could not communicate with her.

She proposed to Mr. Song that she wanted to live alone in a courtyard, but her handsome father agreed without even thinking about it.

She sat next to Aunt Chun, and opposite Aunt Qiu stared at her blankly.

Originally, Aunt Qiu felt that having given birth to a son would be better than Chun He, who had given birth to a daughter. Who knew that the Fourth Master actually liked this damn girl opposite her so much? She had been angry so many times, but now she has calmed down, but she just couldn't think of it.

I understand why Fourth Master values ​​Third Sister so much, more than Fifth Brother and Aunt He, the twins.

She clearly remembered that when she learned that Aunt He had given birth to a boy and a girl, Fourth Master was extremely happy and said it was a good omen. He specially carved a small statue of Aunt He and a pair of children and three children out of peach wood and gave it to Aunt He.

Aunt He was deeply moved.

But gradually, my father became less enthusiastic about Aunt He, and instead devoted himself to doting on the third girl born to Aunt Chun.

Why? Why exactly?

Song Qingyue felt uncomfortable being stared at by Aunt Qiu, so she turned around and opened the curtain to look at the street scene.

It is said that the capital city is prosperous, but this is an area for the rich and powerful. There are very few pedestrians on the streets. They are all high walls and blue tiles. I don't know how extravagant the gardens inside will be.
