Chapter 79
Chapter 79
On that day, Duan Lingyao was going to marry a spirit tablet, the wedding venue was well arranged, and even invited many guests, but the groom disappeared midway, and the wedding was abandoned halfway, which became a new big gossip in the capital.
Duan Lingyao's cronies and dog friends are very concerned about whether he is still infatuated and wants to continue to be a widow for a dead man.
Duan Lingyao thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide the news that Song Sijin was alive. Anyway, he knew what he should know and what he didn't know, and Song Sijin had no need to hide.
What's more, everyone has heard that the day before yesterday he led someone to smash up Song Da Zhuangyuan's new home, and after a little inquiring, he knew that he was venting his anger for Song Sijin.
Therefore, the well-informed have already started jokingly asking Duan Lingyao when they plan to make up another wedding.
Before that, few people could have imagined that Duan Lingyao would fall on that taciturn and gentle man. Now that they have reacted one after another, they can't help being curious.
So they flocked to the Duke's mansion, arguing to get acquainted with Song Sijin.
Duan Lingyao said with a smile: "You want to know him, but he doesn't necessarily want to know you."
The second son of Zhenhai Hou's family joked: "In the future, you will be a family and everyone will be friends. Why don't you want to know each other? Could it be that he wants to be a good wife who doesn't leave the door and doesn't leave the house?"
Duan Lingyao hugged his shoulders and hummed: "Don't talk nonsense, getting married is not certain yet."
"What do you mean?"
"He doesn't necessarily want to marry me."
Everyone was shocked: How dare someone reject this little devil?
Seeing their incredulous faces, Duan Lingyao was a little ashamed, and couldn't help showing a little pride: "My elder brother Jin won't follow others, and as for me, I am so understanding and reasonable, so naturally I won't Reluctantly... What expressions do you have? I really love brother Jin, do you understand? You don't understand anything!"
Seeing him like this, everyone quickly echoed: "Okay, okay, it's true love. Since this is the case, why don't you think of a way for us?"
Duan Lingyao hesitated for a moment. He was afraid in his heart, worried that Song Sijin would be better off staying by his side than leaving, but he really didn't want to let go...
At this moment, a person carrying a food box appeared at the door.
When Duan Lingyao saw him, his eyes lit up: "Why are you here?"
Seeing so many unfamiliar people in the yard, Song Sijin was a little nervous: "My mother made chestnut cakes and asked me to bring you some."
Fan Wumei remembered Duan Lingyao's goodness, so she cooked delicious food and wanted to give Duan Lingyao a share.When Song Sijin went out, he was accompanied by the guards left by Duan Lingyao. When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he knocked on the door, and there were acquaintances inside. Seeing him coming, he was so knowledgeable that he let him in without even notifying him.
It's also a coincidence that Duan Lingyao has so many guests today.
Song Sijin had the impression of most people, he knew they were Duan Lingyao's friends, but... Song Sijin was a little afraid of this group of people, and always found it difficult to get along with them.
The second young master of Zhenhai Hou cleared his throat, and booed: "Sister-in-law, is there any share for us?"
Song Sijin glanced at Duan Lingyao in embarrassment, and didn't know how to answer. It always felt awkward to be called that.
Seeing his expression, Duan Lingyao guessed what he was thinking, and immediately kicked the troublemaker unceremoniously: "Don't yell, brother Jin is a man."
The second son of Zhenhai Marquis rubbed his nose: "Then what should I call it?"
"You don't know your first name? It's better not to use your last name."
"That's Mr. Song." The second son of Zhenhai Hou cupped his hands with a playful smile, "I accidentally offended you just now, please forgive me."
Song Sijin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, that, Lingyao, I'll leave first if I don't have anything else to do."
He has always disliked getting along with Duan Lingyao's cronies and friends. After all, the difference in value between them is too great, and they used to think that Song Sijin was Duan Lingyao's male favorite, even out of the mentality of "beating a dog depends on the owner" He had never bullied Song Sijin, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
This made Song Sijin very uncomfortable and conflicted, so he put down the food box and turned around to leave.
Duan Lingyao frowned, anxiously trying to chase after her.
But his friends were very blind, and they surrounded him curiously and asked what kind of relationship Song Sijin had with him now.
Song Sijin had been living in the Duke's Mansion before, and his relationship with Duan Lingyao was definitely impure. Everyone knew that he belonged to Duan Lingyao, why is it different now?
For some reason, thinking of Song Sijin's appearance just now, Duan Lingyao felt very uncomfortable.
He used to always feel that he was not too bad to him, as long as Song Sijin was obedient, they could be together happily.Looking back now, I realize that he really hurt him too much. Even in aspects that he didn't deliberately do, Song Sijin has been wronged all the time.
Duan Lingyao felt remorseful and distressed for a moment. He straightened his face, and rarely said seriously: "Song Sijin is soft-tempered and easy to bully, but he is also a decent person. Be polite to him and don't make fooling around."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and chased after the man, leaving a group of old friends looking at each other in blank dismay.
I still remember that a long time ago, Duan Lingyao also reminded everyone not to tease Song Sijin, but what he said at that time was - he is mine, please don't bully him.
"He's really screwed up."
"I guessed it a long time ago, tsk tsk."
"Stupid, if I didn't really like it, would I be able to keep him for so long?"
"After that..."
"I guess we won't be able to see each other a few times in the future, so we'll just get along with each other normally."
-
Song Sijin walked slowly, Duan Lingyao chased after him before he went out.
He only needed to take two quick steps to hold him back, but when there was only this distance left, he slowed down.
Instead, Song Sijin stopped, turned around, and looked at him calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just thank you for the chestnut cake." Duan Lingyao hugged his shoulders and walked a few steps unsteadily, "Are you angry?"
Song Sijin shook his head: "No."
Duan Lingyao bumped his shoulder with a smile: "It's okay, you can speak up when you are angry."
Song Sijin shook his head again: "I'm not going to get angry over such a trivial matter, but you, do you have something else to say?"
"Cough." When Duan Lingyao laughed, he always gave people a very unscrupulous feeling, but at this moment he looked at Song Sijin seriously, "If you stay by my side, it is inevitable that you will meet this person again. If you don't want to be underestimated and coaxed by others, you should think carefully about it."
Song Sijin pursed his lips and smiled: "Lingyao, don't you really want me to stay by your side?"
Duan Lingyao laughed twice, pretending to be magnanimous and said: "No way, I just don't want Brother Jin to regret it."
Song Sijin said oh, and said I got it.
He didn't seem to take Duan Lingyao's words into his heart, and he left without hesitation, not knowing what was going on in his heart, Duan Lingyao stared at his back, and frowned unconsciously.
How did the investigation go, and I didn't give a psychological preparation, it would really torture people.
-
An important event happened in the court today.
After Yan Xuehui's identity was exposed and arrested, she was imprisoned in the Heaven Prison. Originally, the Holy Majesty hadn't figured out what to do with him, but His Highness the Crown Prince recklessly pleaded for mercy, even at the expense of contradicting the Holy Majesty. Gas sick.
So the atmosphere in the courtroom became tense again, His Royal Highness was grounded, and it was said that the Holy One was so angry that he wanted to behead Yan Xuehui directly.
There is an undercurrent in Yaojing, and Duan Lingyao is really worried. It is rare that after reuniting with Song Sijin, he is strong again, and invites him, Fan Wumei, and Mai Miao to the Duke's mansion as "guests".
Facing the strict government palace, Fan Wumei and Mai Miao stayed in their small courtyard all day, fearing that they would make mistakes.
Fortunately, with Song Sijin here, the people here treat them politely, and Duan Lingyao, a lovable junior who comes to accompany them from time to time, Fan Wumei and Mai Miao are not as nervous as when they were imprisoned by others.
Hearing that the Holy Majesty fell ill, and the condition was very serious, Song Sijin was shocked, and found that this time point was almost exactly the same as the time when the Holy Majesty suddenly became seriously ill in the original book!
It's just that in the original book, Yan Xuehui asked Xu Qingshan for treatment, and pulled the Holy One back from the gate of hell. This time, Yan Xuehui was in prison, and Xu Qingshan was in the Duke's mansion...The fate has changed. I wonder if the Holy Majesty can survive this difficult time. .
Duan Lingyao started to get busy. At the beginning, he had time to play the investigation game with Song Sijin, but recently he was so busy that he almost forgot about it. During the day and night, he would not see anyone, and he would run away. Where did it go.
Today, Song Sijin was reading in Duan Lingyao's study - don't ask him why he is here, but there are only Duan Lingyao's study in the Duke's mansion. There are many kinds of interesting books.
Song Sijin was fascinated by watching it for a while, and watched it very late, and it was time for dinner that he remembered to go back to the small courtyard where his mother was.
As soon as he walked in, he suddenly found that the low-key old master of the Duke's Mansion had come over at some time.
I saw the old lady, Fan Wumei and Mai Miao sitting at the stone table, admiring autumn chrysanthemums, eating fat crabs, chatting about something, and they all looked like they were talking and laughing.
"Old lady, why are you here?" Song Sijin was a little nervous, a little afraid that the old lady would bully her family.
Fortunately, the old lady was very kind most of the time, she smiled and waved to Song Sijin: "If it wasn't for the wind and cold a few days ago, the old lady would have come here to entertain the distinguished guests."
Fan Wumei rubbed her hands in embarrassment: "It should be us who greet you."
Song Sijin looked at Fan Wumei curiously: "Mother, what were you talking about just now, smiling so happily?"
Mai Miao covered her mouth and laughed: "He's talking about Brother Jin and Brother Yao's childhood."
It turned out to be two female elders, each talking about the embarrassing things of their juniors when they were young. Song Sijin didn't know what his mother said, but when he thought of his stupidity when he was young, he was somewhat embarrassed: "Hey, how do you say this..."
The old lady said with a smile: "Don't you want to know what stupid things Lingyao has done?"
I have to admit that Song Sijin's curiosity was suddenly aroused. Duan Lingyao is such a smart person, would he be stupid when he was young?
Seeing that he was curious, the old lady chatted slowly. In fact, she didn't have much to say. Before she was ten years old, Duan Lingyao spent most of her life in the palace. I don't welcome myself.
He is sensitive and proud, and rarely allows himself to make a fool of himself in front of others.
One of the things that the old lady remembers most is the year when Duke Xin was about to go on an expedition.
At that time, Duan Lingyao was still very young, and his cruel and stubborn temperament had already been revealed. Perhaps Duke Xin also knew what kind of person Duan Lingyao wanted, but he still couldn't help being disappointed deep in his heart.
Duke Xin has a calm and introverted personality, and he doesn't hate Duan Lingyao like the Duke's wife. He rarely reprimands and beats his youngest son, but he is also not close to Duan Lingyao.
On the day when Lord Xin Guo went out for an expedition, Duan Lingyao rode away his beloved horse overnight. At the age of eleven or twelve, he ran for nearly a hundred miles at night, squatting in the middle of the road, waiting to block the way when Lord Xin Guo came.
He wanted to play tricks on him once, to see Duke Xin's frightened look when the army arrived, so that he would know what would happen if he underestimated himself.
But Duan Lingyao didn't know that the route of the expedition had changed, and Lord Xin Guo didn't look for his beloved horse. Someone had told him that Duan Lingyao was leaving on a horse, but he didn't care.
The little boy was starving and hungry on the side of the road, and he was blown by the wind and rain. He waited all day, and came with the stars and the moon, only at dusk and dusk to find his attendant.
He didn't wait for his father, and he couldn't send him off before he set off.
When mentioning this matter, the old lady still sighed with emotion, and she joked that she still looked at Song Sijin meaningfully with her clear eyes: "Do you think he is stupid, so hard for nothing?"
It's a pity that Song Sijin didn't understand her deep meaning, touched his head, and said, "It's stupid."
Maybe when he was very young, he felt that things like his father were not necessarily good things, and that's why he felt that Duan Lingyao, who was trying to attract his father's attention, was stupid.
The old lady sighed softly, seeing that it was getting late, she asked Song Sijin to send her back.
It was obviously in the Duke's mansion, and the distance was not too far, but Song Sijin felt strange to see her off by himself, but with the mentality of respecting the old and caring for the young, he got up and sent the old lady back to the hospital.
Halfway through the walk, the maids and maids unknowingly fell back halfway, and the only ones beside the old lady were Song Sijin and Madam Xu who supported her from left to right.
"Si Jin, the old man shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs between you young people, but there have been so many twists and turns before, and the old man also wants to know, what's going on with you now?"
Song Sijin was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, we're fine."
The old lady asked again: "Can the marriage contract be counted?"
Song Sijin said truthfully, "It's being discussed."
Hearing this, the old lady laughed: "My grandson has always been domineering, and it is really rare that he would even discuss it with others. It seems that he really likes what you like."
Song Sijin was somewhat embarrassed to be ridiculed by his elders like this, but he suddenly remembered something: "Madam, my mother doesn't know about us yet, if you chat with her, can you not mention it?"
The old lady was a little surprised: "She didn't know? Well, it's your mother after all. If you want to, it's better to let her know earlier."
"The juniors know."
Sending the old lady back to her yard, before parting, Song Sijin said goodbye and wanted to leave, the old lady suddenly said: "Actually, when I saw your mother today, I couldn't help but think of Lingyao's mother, Si Jin , do you know why Axue hates Lingyao, his own son, so much?"
Song Sijin shook his head obediently. He heard some explanation from Duan Lingyao, but he still didn't quite understand why the Duke's wife thought Duan Lingyao had killed his two older brothers.
There was something in the old lady's words. I don't know if she wanted to warn Song Sijin to be careful about Duan Lingyao, or just wanted him to know more about Duan Lingyao: "Ah Xue gave birth to her second child back then, and she didn't plan to have another child. Lingyao conceived by accident When he was born, he almost bled profusely, and the Qin Tianjian judged Lingyao's life was hard, and he needed to be suppressed and maintained by dragon energy to grow up healthily.
At that time, Lingyao was sent to the palace when he was still young, and it was not convenient for us to see him for a long time.He is alone, even if he is taken care of by the imperial concubine, he is not at home after all, so he must be careful everywhere... Fortunately, although he has a bad nature, His Majesty is very tolerant and pampered.
When he was five years old, he uttered wild words and asked why he was the son of Lord Xin Guo, but he was not in the mansion of Lord Xin Guo, nor was he the son of Lord Xin Guo. .The Holy Majesty gave him a reprimand, rewarded him with countless treasures, and promised that even if he was not the heir, he would definitely make him a prince for fun in the future.
When he was nine years old, his two older brothers were killed in battle one after another. Hearing that the second child was gone, he laughed in front of the servants who came to report the news, and asked if it would be his turn to be heir next.How can you not hate this mother who is called Axue? "
A fallen leaf floated onto Song Sijin's shoulder, and the cold air of Liang Qiu came up from the ground little by little after nightfall.
Song Sijin pursed his lips and said, "Madam Guo naturally has her own emotions, and the younger generation should not judge at will."
In the night, the old lady let out a long sigh, and there was a lot of vicissitudes in an instant: "Si Jin, after hearing this story, do you also think that Lingyao is an incurable evil?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"But it doesn't matter."
Song Sijin pursed his lips, showed a helpless smile, and shook his head slightly at her.
