Chapter 240

240 Phoenix man with other intentions

In the final analysis, the mother and son of the little Jinshi in Song Dynasty only valued the power of the Regent's house, hoping to become the son-in-law of the Regent's house and take a shortcut to their official career. Perhaps if Mingzhu really married in the past, the Song family would treat each other politely in the face of the Regent's house, but over time, these two people with different backgrounds and different environments will inevitably have endless contradictions.

To put it bluntly, song xiaojinshi is a phoenix man, while Xu Mingzhu is a spoiled peacock woman. Don't say that the two of them had no emotional foundation. Even if they had feelings, they would inevitably stumble and have a lot of contradictions after marriage, not to mention the old princess's wishful matching?

The old imperial concubine was excited. Shen Qingru couldn't persuade her again, so she had to quietly command Mo Yu: "find a reliable person to inquire about the character and background of the young scholar of the Song Dynasty." Mo Yu quietly responded. Shen Qingru helplessly accompanied the old imperial concubine and looked at the private house of the old imperial concubine. The old imperial concubine loved Xu Mingzhu, She did not hesitate to use her private money to decorate Xu Mingzhu, but was the old lady too worried? Xu Mingzhu and song xiaojinshi haven't even met formally. Is it settled?

I think this marriage is too hasty.

Moyu quickly found the young servant Wei Qiwu and asked him to secretly follow the young scholar of song to inquire.

The little Jinshi of song lived in the suburb of the south of the city. This place was originally a place where poor people gathered. It seems that even if he won the Jinshi, the living environment of the Song family has not improved at all.

There are many people who know song xiaojinshi. Along the way, many people stop their work and say hello to song xiaojinshi. Most of them are small business people. Song xiaojinshi always has a stiff face and ignores coldly. Now that he has won the Jinshi, the next step is the imperial examination. If he can get a good ranking, he can become an official directly. Although he is likely to start from the seven grade official, his status is very different from those Dalits. If he can marry the princess of the Regent's house, he may be able to skip the seven grade official directly, or even seal a five grade inspector directly. At that time, his future will be unlimited.

Song xiaojinshi thought more and more beautiful. He couldn't help humming a little song. The whole man walked lightly. Wei Qiwu was very close. He couldn't help but change his face when he heard the song little Jinshi humming the "Eighteen touch" that brothel women love to sing. It seems that this song little Jinshi is a regular guest of Qinglou?

An uncle sweeping the floor looked cold and light. Looking at the body shape of song xiaojinshi, he snorted disdainfully in his nose and spit out a big mouthful of thick phlegm: "ungrateful thing!"

"Dad, people are happy now. Why do you have to make this unhappy?" the young man who picked dung on one side advised him that the name of the young Jinshi of song is song Qingyun, which means to go straight up, but most people here don't call him his big name, just his small name. Song Qingyun's nickname is Da Wa, a common name of ordinary peasant teenagers.

"I just can't stand the Song family's forgetful style. At the beginning, his family was poor and the neighbors couldn't see it. Today, Zhangjia sent a piece of meat and tomorrow, the Wang family sent a bowl of dumplings. No one has forgotten song Dawa. Who knows that this boy has forgotten his roots when he became a Jinshi master. He is really a wolf with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!"

Song Qingyun naturally saw the cold eye of Uncle sweeping, but he was too lazy to care. He song Qingyun is a noble scholar and the son-in-law of the future Regent's house. What do you care about with a floor sweeper? It's too demeaning. If the floor sweeper really annoys him, he will try to cripple the two little grandchildren of the floor sweeper after becoming an official in the future. Are you afraid he won't see the old guy's heartbroken appearance at that time?

Song xiaojinshi continued to hum a tune, and his good mood was not affected by Uncle sweeping. These neighbors who live around the Song family know that song Qingyun is about to make a real progress. They are extremely flattering to him, and there are very few like Uncle sweeping the floor.

The Song family's house is not big, but it is very clean and the environment is quite quiet. Song xiaojinshi shook his sleeve and went straight to his home. The door quickly closed, which worried Wei Qiwu outside. However, he soon found that the wall of the Song family was very short. Wei Qiwu, who knew a little Kung Fu, simply found a clean place to climb over the wall and enter the Song family's house quietly.

"Brother Qingyun, you're back." a woman's voice sounded softly. A young woman in a jingchai dress had a faint smile on her face. She took song Qingyun's robe and handed her home clothes.

Although Wei Qiwu didn't really see it, from the movement of the young woman, she didn't look like a servant girl of this family, but rather like the hostess of this family. Is it true that the little scholar of song has already married?

Song xiaojinshi's attitude towards the young woman was also very gentle. He patted the young woman's hand gently, and his tone was very caring: "Wan Niang, you've worked hard when I'm not at home."

The young woman named Wan Niang's face was sallow, her eyes were slightly sunken, and her big black eyes were full of fatigue, which seemed tired. Song Qingyun naturally knew why Wan Niang was so tired, but he could do nothing about Wan Niang's situation and could only verbally comfort her.

Wan Niang was very pleased to hear song Qingyun's words and said with tears in her eyes: "brother Qingyun, you are too polite. Doing these is wan Niang's duty..."

"Wan Niang, you lazy thing, don't go to boil water to serve me to drink tea! Do you want to die of thirst?" Wan Niang's words haven't finished yet. A dry hoarse voice sounded unhappily. Wan Niang's face showed a look of panic and trotted all the way to the kitchen to cook tea.

"Yun'er, come in." the hoarse sweet and bitter voice softened a lot just now. Obviously, the object of speaking is different, and the old woman's tone is also different. Wei Qiwu guessed that the old woman talking inside was about song Qingyun's mother, that is, song Qingyun's mother who was "hardworking, gentle and kind, with all the good qualities in the world".

Song Qingyun obediently answered and obediently entered the house. After Wei Qiwu saw him go in, a kite turned over and landed neatly under the windowsill outside the house. This place can just have a panoramic view of the situation in the house.

In the middle of the room sat a middle-aged woman. She said she was a middle-aged woman, but the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were very deep, with white hair. She looked almost the same age as the old princess. If she didn't know, she probably thought it was song Qingyun's grandmother rather than her mother.

The woman was extremely mean to the students, with high cheekbones, a wrinkled face, and two hanging triangular eyes shining with shrewd light. At first glance, she was not a kind-hearted person.

"What does the Regent's palace say today?" the woman was obviously very anxious and asked song Qingyun again and again.

Song Qingyun showed a pleased look on his face: "it's safe to say that the old princess of the Regent's house likes him very much. She praises him for his good character and knowledge."

The mean old woman showed a pleased look on her face: "that's right. Don't look at how talented my son is. Don't say that the girl in her Regent's house is the princess of the emperor. My son is worthy!"

Wei Qiwu tilted his lips. What an old woman who doesn't know the greatness of heaven and earth!

The mother and son talked for a while. The focus of the conversation was nothing more than praising how talented and outstanding song Qingyun was. The girl in the Regent's palace was lucky to marry song Qingyun. It was really smoke on the ancestral grave. Wei Qiwu was so angry that he wanted to rush in and scratch his ears for this pair of mother and son who didn't know the greatness of heaven and earth!

"Niang, what can Wan Niang do here?" Song Qingyun said with some worry.

It turned out that Wan Niang was his childhood sweetheart. Song Qingyun originally lived in a small town in Qingzhou, and WAN Niang was the daughter of a rich family in the town. Song Qingyun did well in school since childhood, but wan Niang didn't know a few words. She most appreciated song Qingyun's talented scholar. Although Wan Niang's father didn't look down on the impoverished Song family's mother and son, she insisted because of Wan Niang's single mindedness Finally, she reluctantly agreed to marry Wan Niang to song Qingyun and gave a large dowry.

However, song Qingyun's mother postponed their marriage date on the grounds that her son failed to obtain fame, and agreed to marry Wan Niang when song Qingyun's name was on the gold list in the future. Song's mother also took a dowry from Wan Niang on the pretext that her son needed a lot of money to catch up with the exam.

Wan Niang is infatuated. She came to the capital with the Song family's mother and son. Although she is a spoiled rich lady, she is not Petite at all. Song's mother is stingy and reluctant to hire a servant girl. She also pushed all the housework to Wan Niang on the grounds that she is weak and ill. Wan Niang gets up early every day, first prepares breakfast for the picky song's mother, and then helps her Song Qingyun prepares meals, washes the clothes of the whole family, cleans the courtyard, and knits needlework all on her. Wan Niang is busy from morning to night every day, and she has to study hard with song Qingyun at night. Song Qingyun always likes to play "tea to add fragrance" "Yes, although Wan Niang didn't know a few big words, she still had to accompany him to study until late at night, otherwise song's mother would show her face the next day.

In this way, she worked hard every day from morning to night, and was tortured by song's mother from time to time. How could Wan Niang not be haggard after a long time?

"If Wan Niang knows, she will not give up. She must have a big fight with me. The Regent's house knows, and it's impossible to marry Princess Mingzhu to me." Song Qingyun asked anxiously.

It was really difficult to do. A haze flashed on Song's mother's face: "why don't you buy some rat medicine and I'll put it in Wan's meal."

Song Qingyun was shocked by her mother's idea, and his eyes widened: "mother, this is a great crime of murder! If anyone knows..."

"What are you afraid of?" Song's mother said faintly, "her family is thousands of miles away. We only say that she has an urgent illness and died of illness. You are already the master of Jinshi. Don't those common people dare to trouble you?"

"But the neighbors all know Wan Niang. There will always be people who have doubts about it. If the government finds out anything at that time, it will be in trouble." Song Qingyun said in a hurry. He really didn't expect his mother to have such a terrible idea. Wan Niang worked hard to serve her mother every day, and even song Qingyun saw it. He didn't expect that her mother could be cruel enough to kill Wan Niang! On the one hand, song Qingyun didn't have the heart, but more importantly, he was afraid that if the situation was exposed, killing was the most serious crime, and his just started Qingyun road could not be guaranteed Stay.
