Chapter 19 in the future
(kneeling for collection)
Song Nan spent the whole afternoon here. She also drank a lot of wine in her stomach and got up and left. In the evening, diners also came one after another. Song Nan saw that Aunt Fang was very busy and did not say hello to her.
Aunt Fang's hands are busy, but her eyes look at Song Nan's back, and her expression is a little solemn. Although she doesn't know what Song Nan and Jiang Bin are secretly talking about, from their expressions and movements, she is obviously planning a secret.
Aunt Fang is not interested in knowing what it is. She just thinks that Song Nan, a little scholar, is not suitable to mix with a ruffian like Jiang Bin. Song Nan has a good impression in her mind. After hanging out with Jiang Bin for a long time, it is inevitable that she will become the kind of person she hates.
Song Nan returned to Xiaoshiqiao's house with the wine. The family was already waiting in a hurry. The atmosphere of the Song family has been a little discordant recently. It was all because of Song Nan's fall. Song Nan locked herself in the room to study all day, and there was no smile on her face, which made Song's mother, Xiaoping and Uncle Zhong very worried. Today is so unacceptable. It was easy to see him go out for a walk. When he came back, he was full of alcohol, and several people were even more worried.
Song Nan said hello and returned to the room and fell quietly recalling today's events. For Song Nan, there was nothing good or bad about studying and doing business in the army. He just wanted to have a way out. The situation of the brocade guard arresting people in the small restaurant of Datong Mansion that day brought great shock to Song Nan, and he often remembered that in his mind. In one scene, I also always remind myself that this is not a future generation that advocates equality for all, but a feudal dynasty divided into nobles and riches. If there is no power in hand, everything will not be guaranteed.
That's why Jiang Bin invited him today. Song Nan is willing to help him come up with ideas and help Jiang Bin out of his predicament. He can really get Jiang Bin's help. Whether he is a civilian or military position, as long as he can step into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, he will try it.
The plan to help Jiang Bin is not small, but Song Nan pursues the principle that the greater the risk, the richer the reward. The only thing to consider is the arrangement of details, how not to leak the news, and how to force Wang Dan to comply. In later generations, Song Nan firmly believes that her law is still applicable in this era. , no high-ranking and rich man will break the net with a bachelor who has nothing. It is the same in ancient and modern times. I hope Wang Dan is not an alternative.
Song Nan lay in ** and racked his brains to think. This was the first time he came to the Ming Dynasty to seriously think about one thing, because it was very important and related to his future life.
It was dark, and there was no light in the room, and the dark hand was out of sight. The door was gently pushed open, and a ray of light shone in from outside the door. The light moved, and a figure gently walked in with a bean candle fire.
Song Nan did not move. He could tell from his footsteps that his mother had come in. Originally, he wanted to discuss with Song's mother about becoming an official under Jiang Bin tonight, but before the details of the plan were well considered, he could not rashly tie up with Jiang Bin, so he didn't say anything.
The sound of the candlestick on the table came from my ear. The footsteps were rustling, and a warm hand gently stroked Song Nan's forehead. Song's mother sat gently on the edge of the bed, looked at Song Nan lovingly and sighed gently.
"Nan'er, are you still angry with being a mother?" Song's mother saw Song Nan's eyelashes shaking and knew that she was not asleep and whispered.
Song Nan opened her eyes and looked at the loving and dignified face in front of her, and slowly shook her head and said, "How dare you be angry with your mother?"
Song's mother raised Song Nan's long hair and said, "You don't know it as your mother. You must be unhappy if you force you to study and take the exam for your mother. Otherwise, why did you go out and return drunk? You should know that in the past 16 years, my mother has never seen you drink like this."
Song Nan got up and held Song's mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't think so. It's just that I met a friend for a few drinks. There's nothing unhappy about my son."
Song's mother sighed, "Mo Ruo's mother, how can your mother not notice your thoughts? Since you recovered from your serious illness, your temperament has also been very different from when you were a child. When you were a child, you vowed to study for the exam, and you were also very hard to study. My mother doesn't know why you are not interested in reading now. Uncle Zhong said that when you went to Datong Mansion to take the exam, you said that you would not pass this exam, but you were afraid that your mother would be unhappy that you would reluctantly go. I don't understand why this is?"
Song Nan said silently: If I tell you that I'm not your son at all, can you accept it? Your former son can read ancient books and write good articles. I don't have that ability.
Mother Song whispered, "Well, my mother is thinking that the reason why you are very different from before may be because you have grown up. My son is already a man and has her own ideas. My mother doesn't want to see you unhappy, so my mother doesn't force you to study. You have been in business. There are still more than 1,000 taels of money last time. You can count all. Take the capital; in fact, there is nothing wrong with doing business. Our Song family was originally from the business family. Your father was an official, and later he also went to business, didn't he?
Song Nan was surprised and said, "Did my mother actually allow me not to study and take the exam?"
Song's mother smiled bitterly and said, "Reading is your father's last wish. If you don't want to study, you can't force her to do it. It's not a way to pass the imperial examination again. Mother has fulfilled your wish. In short, it's good to make my son happy."
Song Nan was moved. He could see Song's mother's regret. In his heart, he still hoped that she could study seriously and become an official, but in order not to make herself unhappy, she still chose to compromise. Mother's love is sometimes so unprincipled, even if she knows that it goes against her wishes, even if she knows that her son's choice. It is not a normal road.
Song Nan jumped out of bed and bowed her head and said repeatedly, "Thank you for your understanding of the child. The child is not that the child does not want to make progress, but that the child can't get through the road of reading, so he chooses another way. The child will definitely not teach his mother to be disappointed. He will definitely teach his mother to live a good life. Please rest assured."
Song's mother smiled and pulled up Song Nan and said, "Son, you have to remember what you said today. The day your mother is waiting for happiness. When you grow up, your mother can't force you to do anything. As long as you think you have done the right thing, you can make your own decision. Just remember your mother's words: Whenever you want to be an upright and don't give it to you. The ancestors of the Song family will be smeared.
Song Nan said firmly, "You should keep it in mind."
......
The next morning, Jiang Bin really came to visit Xiaoshiqiao. A thousand households of Weizhou Wei sent more than a dozen soldiers to the residential area into Song Nan's yard, which really scared the neighbors. Everyone thought that there was something wrong with the silver Song Nan took back from Song's mansion last time. Now the military master came to him. Obviously, something was missing. .
At the beginning, the neighbors who took Song Nanyin were scared. At that time, the women who encouraged their men to take over the silver began to complain that their husbands were not smart. Why did they accept Song Nan's gift? If there was really a leak, would they not be implicated?
Someone quickly took out the silver hidden in the rice jar and under the ashes of the stove and kicked it in his waist to return it to the Song family. Those people who spent money stamped their feet and regretted it, but they were not willing to be implicated. They secretly probed around the Song family to inquire about the news and decided that if Song Nan was locked and took out the door, he would smash the pot to sell it. The iron also gathered all the money and returned it back.
However, the situation in the courtyard of the Song family stunned everyone. More than a dozen soldiers stood under the wall, while the Nan of the Song family drank tea in the yard with the fierce thousand households. The thousands of households were tall and tall, sitting on the low wooden piers looked a little funny. From time to time, the two of them Laughing, there is no way to take a person.
The neighbors took a look at the opportunity to pull the little sister of the Li family who lived in the Song family to help pour tea and pour water, and the answer was even more shocking to everyone.
"Can't you look forward to others? The Lord Qianhu didn't come to find fault. He personally invited Master Song Nan to work in Weili. Don't look at it. Go home quickly and work. Be careful to make the Lord Qianhu angry.
The little sister of the Li family ran away with two small braids like a gust of wind, leaving the neighbors looking at each other. Is the little brother of the Song family so big face? Did Lord Qianhu come to invite him in person? What the hell is going on?
In the yard, Song Nan was pouring tea for Jiang Bin in person. Jiang Bin hung two black eye bags and his eyes were full of blood. Obviously, he didn't sleep soundly last night.
Song Nan understands that it is strange to fall asleep in Jiang Bin's situation, especially after finding that there is hope to survive this disaster, it is even more impossible for him to sleep soundly.
