Chapter 2 Five Hundred Years of Dream

Song Nan's psychological contrast is very large and her mood is extremely depressed. Later, she graduated from a famous university. After entering a multinational real estate company, she sat on the throne of a senior with an annual salary of millions in just a few years. She was young and had more money. Just like the proud son of heaven, she was full of envious eyes. If she snapped her finger, she would have brainless and big breasts. A hug is the time when the spring breeze is proud.

In addition to his work, he travels around the world with paid holidays and likes all kinds of advanced high-end sports. Surfing, paragliding, adventure, etc. are his favorites, and the quality of life is also ridiculously high. Food, clothing, sitting and traveling are top luxury brands, enjoying life.

But now, the soul has traveled for hundreds of years and came to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. He looked at the four-walled houses, looked at the cotton gowns on his body, and drank a bowl of fish soup as a luxury. How can he adapt?

Moreover, he knew that even such days would not last long. The Song Nan he possessed was a sick man. In his days of illness, he had consumed the Song family's little money. This time, Song's mother used the last few jewelry as medicine and tonics, except for 30 mu of barren land rented to farmers. There is nothing at home.

There are still ancient books full of bookshelves at home, which are the only thing left by Song Nan, who is possessed. He began to study at the age of five. After ten years of accumulation, these books at home that exude a musty smell and can't eat or drink have accumulated.

'There is a golden house in the book, and there is a Yan Ruyu in the book. In such a situation, this sentence sounds ridiculous. Now there will be three meals at home. Do you learn to eat books like rats?

There are now a total of four people in the family, but the standard configuration of a large family, mother and herself, plus a maid named Ping'er and an old servant uncle. Under such poverty, there are servants and maidservants, which seems a little unreasonable, but it represents the past life of the Song family.

According to his memory, Song Nan learned that Song's mother and herself originally lived under the mansion of Songfu in Weizhou and lived a rich life of food and clothing. Song De, the master of Songfu, was an official in his early years. Later, he resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown in Weizhou, bought fields, run a business, and bought a huge family business.

My mother was originally a maidservant around Song De. She was beautiful and gentle. Song De liked her very much, so she wanted to take her as a side room. Unexpectedly, Yan, the eldest woman of Song, was jealous and not allowed to make a lot of noise. After a while, Song Nan was born, but the matter of taking a concubine was over, and Song Nan became a commoner. It's not as good as a maidservant to have children.

In this year, the name of the eldest child is a regular gift. Birth is more important than anything else, especially among large families. Song Nan's unexpected birth makes the eldest woman Yan very dissatisfied. Even if her son is born, Yan also cries and hangs three times. Song Dena and Song Nan's mother is never allowed to be a concubine, while Song Nan's mother and son are in Song Nan in Song The status of the house can be imagined.

Song De felt that he owed Song Nan's mother and son and couldn't stand the noise, so he placed a separate courtyard for their mother and son in the north alley of Dongcheng. He asked Mr. Private School to teach Song Nan to study and equipped him with a servant and maidservant. However, Song De thought he could live for a long time, but he unexpectedly died of an emergency when Song Nan was ten years old. I didn't have time to leave a word for Song Nan and his son.

Song De died, and Song Huan, the eldest son of Yan and Song De, refused to recognize the identity of Song Nan's mother and son. He not only did not allow Song Nan's mother and son to guard the spirit and filial piety, but also took back the house in Beida Lane and completely expelled Song Nan's mother and son out of the Song family.

Song's mother is weak. She was originally a maidservant and has never seen anything in the world. How dare she compete for short and has to take Song Nan to quietly burn some paper money in front of Song De's grave and kowtow a few times, which is regarded as a person.

Fortunately, Song's mother was thrifty and well-manage. She took good care of some of the money and silver things secretly stuffed for her before her death, but she also accumulated hundreds of taels of silver. After leaving Beida Lane, she set up this small courtyard on the small stone bridge where civilians live.

The servants in the family were also scattered as birds and beasts. Only Uncle Zhong and Ping'er did not want to leave and loyally followed the orphan and widow.

Although Song's mother can take over the family, she is a Taoist family. She took out her savings to buy 30 mu of land outside the south gate, but she was deceived by the mortgage. Thirty mu of land is not a good land at all, but an extremely barren mountain. Every year, it is rented to farmers for farming. The tenant in her hand is not enough to protect the family's food and drink, and she has to go inside. Five years later, the Song family is unable to continue.

Song's mother pinned all her hopes on Song Nan and spent money for Song Nan to study, but Song Nan was too weak. She had been sick for half a year. Although she liked to read, she couldn't survive the weakness of her body after all. After several struggles, she only gained the identity of a scholar. Going forward, the mountains and rivers were far away.

......

That night, Song Nan sat depressed and idle in the wing. There was a soft voice of Ping'er and Song's mother in the outside hall. Song Nan faintly heard the sound of sigh, so she held her breath and listened.

"Madam, Uncle Zhong went to Nancheng to collect rent today and returned empty-handed. This summer, the pest disaster has been bad, and there is almost no harvest in the field. Uncle Zhong really can't bear to force them."

Song's mother sighed and said for a long time, "That's all. I knew it was the result. It's just a chance to ask Uncle Zhong to go."

Ping'er said, "However, what should I do if I can't get the rent? Seeing that winter is coming, how will we spend this winter? The young master's cotton robe has been broken several times, and he has no money to buy new ones. And you have pressed a few good winter clothes on the pawn. How can you go out in winter?

Song's mother sighed again and whispered, "It's nothing. I just don't go out without cotton-padded clothes. Instead, you and Uncle Zhong haven't made new clothes for several years and have no money to pay you. It's really hard for you. It's really a blessing for Nan'er and me to meet you."

Ping'er whispered, "What did you say? It's right to serve you. If it hadn't been for your wife's rescue, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death in the street, but it's a pity that the little maidservant didn't have the ability. If he was a strong man, she could at least go to the street to make some hard work to make money. Now now she can only do some chores, and can't help his wife with anything; Uncle Zhong When we are old, we can't do hard work. We have become a burden. Uncle Zhong said that the year is still like this, so he will find a place where there is no one to wait for death. He can't drag down his wife and young master.

Song's mother hurriedly said, "Tell Uncle Zhong, don't think so. We are all a family now, and no one looks at you as servants. If Uncle Zhong does that, it will be wrong for my mother and son."

Ping'er whispered, "I think Uncle Zhong is just saying it. He won't leave us alone, but how can we get through the current difficulties?"

Song's mother was silent for a while and said, "Ping'er, take this as a fool. Maybe you can survive this winter."

Ping'er was shocked and said, "No, madam, that's the only thing left by the master. I didn't think about it."

Song's mother smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of thinking about it? It's better to change the money and support the family. The master should not be blamed if he knows it. His son has no food to eat and clothes to wear, which is also his last duty as a father."

Song Nan felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Her family was already extremely poor. In any case, she replaced the identity of the only man in the family who can support her appearance. How could she stand by? In the past ten days, she went up to Song's mother to Uncle Zhong and Pinger to take care of herself meticulously, take good care of her, and left neighbor Youshe is also very good to herself. She is immersed in a huge gap, but she forgets that life has to continue. Can't she always sink like this?

Song Nan thought for a moment, got up and gently lifted the curtain and walked out of the wing room. In the hall, Song's mother handed it to Pinger reluctantly with an exquisite jade hand. It goes without saying that it was the last token left by her 'father' Song De.

Seeing Song Nan come out, Song's mother gently put Yuqi into her sleeve, and her face was instantly covered with smiles. She whispered, "Nan'er, are you tired of reading? It's good to go out for a walk. Although the autumn exam is approaching, your illness is just right. You'd better pay attention to your health.

Ping'er echoed, "Yes, the young master reads for a while and then went out with Brother Niu next door, which must be good for his health."

Song Nanjing said quietly, "Mom, our family is exhausted, isn't it?"

Song's mother was stunned and immediately said andly, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by the end of mountains and rivers? You can read your book. There are fields and land at home, as well as your mother and Uncle Zhongping. How can it be your turn to worry about it?

Song Nan said, "Mother, don't lie to me. I know the situation at home. Mom, you don't have to take the jade book that your father gave you. I'll figure it out. The child is a man of the Song family. How can you make your mother worry about dressing and eating? That child is too useless."

Song's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no jade book. Don't be distracted. Just study hard."

Song Nan said, "I can't read in this situation. I've already figured out a way. I'll get the money tomorrow."

Song's mother was stunned and said, "Do you have a way? What can you do?" In the eyes of the Song family, Song Nan is a thin, well-behaved and timid teenager. He doesn't dare to talk to other people. At this moment, it is really surprising to see Song Nan say such words.

Song Nan doesn't care about Song's mother's tone and said to herself: The Song Nan in your mind has long known where she has gone. Since I am attached to Song Nan and can't even maintain a livelihood, what else should I do?

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to work with Daniel. Wait for my good news." After quietly speaking, Song Nanjing turned around and went back to the wing room, leaving Song's mother and maid Xiaoping look at each other in consteration. She didn't know why.
