The word “Song family” entered his ears and Master Zhang commanded, “Let him go!”
The watchman and the boy let go, and Huang Si ran quickly back to Master Zhang.
“Tell me more.”
Huang Si told the story of Song Lian picking up the boy’s belongings that the Zhang House had thrown out, and of Song Wan Yue’s visit to the door.
Master Zhang narrowed his eyes, “Your daughter-in-law’s surname is also Song?”
“He is Song Si’s aunt, you know Song Si, the one most famous in the academy, don’t you?”
He didn’t know that Song Si had been thrown out of the academy, but he knew that the young master of the Zhang family and Song Si were in the same academy, and thought that it must not be easy for Song Wan Yue to come to his door and ask for those things.
“A real aunt?”
“No, it’s a cousin aunt, Song Si is from the eldest house’s side.”
A cousin is also an aunt, and people in the countryside pay a lot of attention to family ties.
“Go get your daughter-in-law and help me go do something.”
What a blessing it was to be able to help Master Zhang, Huang Si instantly forgot the purpose of his visit, agreed, turned and ran home.
Master Zhang lifted his feet and entered the house, instructing the gatekeeper to lead them in directly when they arrived.
Huang Si ran home in one breath, and without saying a word, he pulled up Song Lian who was unpacking the bedding he had picked up, “Quickly, come with me to Master Zhang’s house, something good is happening.”
Song Lian still had the scissors in her hand, so she threw them on the ground and followed him out, leaving the door unlocked, to Master Zhang’s house.
The money was placed on the table without any cover, and it was white and eye-catching.
The two men saw it as soon as they entered and unconsciously gulped.
Master Zhang looked at Song Lian and really saw the resemblance to Song Si, confirmed that Huang Si was not lying, and then pointed to the silver, “You just need to go back and persuade Song Si to marry my daughter, and these fifty taels of silver will be yours.”
Five, fifty taels!
Gulp!
Song Lian and Huang Si swallowed a good-sized mouthful of water at the same time.
“No ……”
Huang Si was just about to say “no problem” when Song Lian grabbed him, “I’m afraid it’s not easy to say.”
Not to mention the fact that Song Si is the hope of the eldest family, just based on the relationship between their family and the eldest family, they would not trust him, let alone agree to this marriage.
Huang Si was so anxious that he kept giving her a wink. Fifty taels of silver, they would never earn that much in their lifetime.
Song Lian was also dazzled by the silver, but she knew that the marriage could not be done at all.
Was this too little?
Master Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked a little uncomfortable.
Huang Si sensed that Master Zhang was about to get angry, so he hurriedly dragged Song Lian behind him, “Master Zhang, don’t listen to her, we can definitely get this done, we can definitely get it done.”
Only then did Master Zhang’s face ease up, “In that case, get on with it.”
Huang Si nodded his head and replied, but after turning his eyes twice, he said, “It’s getting late today, and we don’t have a carriage, so even if we went, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to return today.
It would cost a lot of money to hire a carriage from the county town and back. Since the Zhang family was in a hurry, if he said so, perhaps Master Zhang would let him go in the Zhang family’s carriage?
Sure enough, Master Zhang called the housekeeper in, “Give him a carriage.”
Huang Si nodded and thanked him, dragging Song Lian out of the door of the side hall, whispering as he walked, “This is a good thing that fell from the sky, we have to do it no matter what.”
“It’s not like you don’t know our relationship with the big house side, I’ll be beaten out by them before I even enter the door.”
“Are you stupid? That little girl came to the door today to ask for those things, she obviously has an agenda, let’s use that to blackmail them, as long as they can agree to the marriage with Miss Zhang, we’ll give them those things.”
Song Lian wanted to say something else, but was dragged out of the Zhang household by Huang Si.
The carriage was already waiting at the door, although it was not as good as the one Master Zhang had just sat in, it was still better than the one hired.
Huang Si climbed into the carriage, and Song Lian had no choice but to follow.
The carriage slowly made its way towards the city gate.
“The door to the house is still unlocked.”
“If it’s unlocked, it’s unlocked, in broad daylight, no one will come up to the house to steal anything.”
“There are children.”
They had a daughter who had gone to play at a neighbour’s house today.
“The carriage is fast and will be back before it gets dark, it will be fine.”
Huang Si finished and poked his head out and said to the coachman, “Let’s hurry, we’ll go early and return early.”
The coachman raised his whip and drove the carriage fast.
All the way to the carriage, Huang Si was thinking about how to spend the fifty taels of silver when he arrived.
Song Lian was not as optimistic as he was, and tried to persuade him to go back several times, but when he saw that he was thinking about it with great enthusiasm, he did not dare to say anything.
When they arrived at the Song family home, the rest of the family had gone to the fields and only Song Lin and Xu were at home.
Song Lin shook the jar of mint oil while Xu dried the mint leaves.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law was also very capable, picking a lot of them every day, and now the yard was full of mint leaves drying.
When they heard the sound of the carriage, they stopped moving at the same time and looked towards the door.
Song Lian and Huang Si entered the door.
Huang Si was in front and Song Lian was behind.
Once inside, Song Lian hurriedly called out to the others, “Big brother and sister-in-law.”
Huang Si followed suit and shouted.
Song Lin limped over, “What are you doing here?”
He and Huang Si were of equal size and about the same stature, but Huang Si
^0^ One second to remember [ ]
Somehow, fear arose in his heart, unconsciously took two steps back and put on a smiling face, “Of course there is something good to come to big brother and sister-in-law.”
They can have good things?
Song Lin didn’t believe it at all, “If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, say it quickly!”
Huang Si pushed Song Lian.
Song Lian shivered and spoke, “Yes, it’s like this, Master Zhang asked us to come and make a match for Si’er, wanting to marry, marry Miss Zhang to him.”
The Zhang family?
Song Lin’s anger rose and he looked around to find something to take advantage of. Xu handed over a broom and Song Lin raised it and struck the two of them with his head, “Even you dare to come and fight against Si’er.
The Zhang housekeeper had run away too quickly, he had not hit anyone, and he was still angry in his heart, when Song Lian and Huang Si came to his door.
He hit them with his broom and the yard resounded with the screams of the two.
Song Lin didn’t care about this, he just hit them head on, one broom after another, using all his strength on them.
Song Lin and Huang Si were too late to even run away, and they fell to the ground, clutching their heads and screaming.
Xu didn’t even try to persuade them, but just watched from the side.
People like that deserved to be beaten!
“Big brother… Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!”
Song Lian held her head and begged for mercy.
“Do you dare to come back later?”
“I don’t dare, never again!”
“Get lost! ”
Song Lin stopped his broom and glared at them angrily.
The two men rolled and ran out the door, scrambling to climb into the carriage first.
It was this coachman who had just driven the carriage to bring the housekeeper here, and had long been prepared for this, turning the carriage around as soon as the two men got off, the whip gripping tightly inside, and just as the two men climbed into the carriage, his whip fell hard on the horse, which hissed and instantly dashed out a long way.
Huang Si and Song Lian had not yet sat down, their bodies hit the wall of the carriage heavily, and there were two more miserable screams, “Ah ……!”
