239, Cong Rong
"What do you plan to do in the future?"
The Song family has more than ten people in total, so it is impossible for them to live with the help of the Jin family.
"In addition to being deprived of title and sentenced to exile, the Song family was also sentenced to three generations of ban on participating in the imperial examination. If they cannot participate in the imperial examination, how should the Song family be revived?" Song Wencai looked confused. After all, he was just a 15 or 16-year-old boy. He had always been in danger of being in the world. He suddenly suffered from the decline of his family, and had experienced all the warmth and coldness of human feelings and could not see the direction of the future.
"Do you still remember how the Song family started?" Xu Shu reminded.
"Join the army?" Song Wencai was a little uncertain. The Song family was prosperous in troubled times and was awarded the title of Count by military merits. But in this peaceful and prosperous era, how could it be so easy to make merits?
Xu Shu nodded, "There are many criminals who have been exiled to the army who have made their careers through military merits. You might as well think carefully!"
Song Wencai, Zheng focused his head, thought about it and took out an envelope from his arms, "This is a letter of break-up. I wrote it in my father's handwriting. I copied it for a long time, but no one could tell it was fake. The seal on it was secretly stamped with my father's seal! The Song family is like this now, and it can no longer drag the innocent anymore! I know that if your tenth sister doesn't want to marry me, you have hundreds of ways to get her out of this marriage. This letter of break-up is not very useful to you, but this is the only thing I can do for you at the moment. I will repay your kindness to the Song family bit by bit!"
Xu Shu did not take the envelope, "Since it's not very useful, there's no need! You're right. If the Tenth Sister doesn't want to marry, I will naturally have a way to let her not get married, but if she is willing to marry, I won't stop her!"
Song Wencai was stunned. What Xu Shu meant... Could it be...
"I talked to Shimei before you came. She had her own opinion on this marriage, so let her make the decision by herself! But I also hope you can promise me that if Shimei was unintentional, I hope you don't force others to do anything!"
Song Wencai nodded, lowered his eyelids to cover up his disappointment, "Okay, I promise you!"
"Your marriage to Duke Rong's Mansion..." Song Wencai suddenly said this, and he was shocked to be rude.
Xu Shu teased without any attention, "You have only been back for a while, but you are not idle at all. I even heard of this!"
Song Wencai blushed slightly. If it weren't for Xu Shu's connection, he wouldn't bother to listen to other people's gossip after dinner. "It's because the Qi family is not worthy of you!"
Xu Shu suddenly couldn't help laughing, her laughter was a little happy, "Your tone is just like an elder sister!" But when Xu Jing said this, she was protecting her shortcomings, so what was Song Wencai? Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Shu's face faded, and then she contacted Zhou's obvious avoidance just now, and the smile disappeared completely. Some things really made her avoid it.
Song Wencai saw the change in Xu Shu's face and couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Did he say something wrong? "I...I..."
"Mrs. Song Er should be back!" Xu Shu looked outside and shouted, "Taxue, call Yuanyuan and Jingjing back. After going there for so long, Mrs. Song Er should be tired!"
Song Wencai sighed softly, full of distress. Xu Shu was weird and elusive. She spoke well, but why did she suddenly turn against each other?
However, Xu Shu never said a word to Song Wencai again, until Song Wencai and his son left.
"Miss……"
After the Song family's mother and son left, Xu Shu leaned against the table for a long time, and Taxue couldn't help but scream.
Xu Shu turned around when she heard the voice, "Let's go see my elder sister tomorrow, and call my fourth sister up! I haven't seen my elder sister for a while, so I miss her!"
Taxue laughed and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? The fourth aunt passed the Jinshi this year and received a post as a foreigner. She is about to take office. I am afraid that the fourth aunt will not have time to come out!"
Xu Shu retorted, "It is precisely because she is leaving that she has to go even more. She can't come back after three or five years!"
Taxue smiled and shook her head, and went to make arrangements. I heard that she was going to see Xu Jing, so Xu Ru agreed without saying anything.
Since the showdown with the Sun family, Xu Jing moved to Xiangzhuyuan, she reopened the door from the wall next to her, and completely cut off contact with the Sun family.
Xu Shu first arrived at the side door, and then she heard another sound of horse hooves coming, stepping on the snow, "Mrs. Fourth, is here!"
Xu Shu hurriedly greeted her, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ruiming got off the carriage first, "Jin Mei!"
"Fourth brother-in-law!"
Zhang Ruiming got off the carriage first before turning around and helped Xu Ru down. He carefully supported her arm, for fear that he would knock it. His careful look made the girls beside him laugh.
"Nine Sister!" Xu Ru let go of Zhang Ruiming's hand and walked naturally to Xu Shu.
Zhang Ruiming reminded behind him, "Just play for a while, I will pick you up when I finish my work!"
Xu Ru blushed slightly, and nodded still. Zhang Ruiming said again, "I'm sorry, ninth sister, take care of her wife!"
Xu Ru's face turned redder and urged Zhang Ruiming to leave, "Don't you have something to do? Go quickly!" As he said that, he went forward and locked the door. Someone inside opened the door. Seeing that it was Xu Ru and Xu Shu, he hurriedly welcomed the two of them in. Zhang Ruiming left with confidence only when he saw this.
Xu Shu joked, "The fourth brother-in-law really loves the fourth sister!"
Xu Ru touched her stomach and said, "He doesn't care about me, it just hurts the piece of meat in my belly!"
"Sister Four, are you pregnant?" Xu Shu turned her head in surprise, "Why do you have to follow your fourth brother-in-law to serve in the office when you are pregnant?"
Xu Shu didn't say anything later, but Xu Ru already understood it.
"It was only now! He wanted to stay in the capital, but it was easier for him to achieve political achievements and be promoted faster. My parents-in-law used their connections to let him quit his job, but at this time I realized that I was pregnant. My husband wanted to resign from his job, but that would waste his parents-in-law's intention. After thinking about it, I kept this a secret and talked about it later!"
If the Zhang family knew that Xu Ru was pregnant at this time, they would definitely keep Xu Ru in the capital to raise their baby, but Zhang Ruiming could not be taken care of, so the aunt Tongfang followed him. After three to five years, Zhang Ruiming would come back, and then there would be countless concubines and a group of concubines around him. This was something Xu Ru didn't want to see, so she could only take the risk of hiding the pregnancy and go to office with Zhang Ruiming.
"Then you have to be extra careful!" Xu Shu looked at Xu Ru worriedly, running all the way, wondering whether Xu Ru's body could withstand it.
Xu Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm apt to behave. Besides, I've been used to being rough and healthy since I was a child. This child is also considerate. It's almost three months old, and I don't vomit or vomit!"
