Lonely non-good minister

At the end of August, as soon as the Changshan incident was over, Song Yuan hurried to Zhongshan.

Her memory of Zhongshan still stays at the age of 15 when she followed King Zhongshan to Beijing to meet him, but now it has been four years.

Driving into the city, nothing changed much. Song Yuan looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, a man and a woman walking side by side, with their fingers interlocked, causing many people to point and stare, but they He didn't care at all, and left happily after chatting and laughing.

"Has the folk customs become so open?" Song Yuan asked casually, but Wei Yan couldn't answer.

When we arrived at the gate of the Wangfu, the main gate was closed, only the small gate on the left was open, and four or five soldiers stood guard in front of the gate. When they saw Song Yuan and his party, some people stepped forward immediately.

"Ninth Young Master?" The soldier was surprised when he saw Song Yuan.

Song Yuan got off the horse, put his arm on his wrist and went in through the small gate. The steward of the front yard quickly trotted over to welcome him: "Master, why don't you send someone to inform you in advance, so that I can arrange someone to pick you up outside the city?" .”

"When will the father arrive?" Song Yuan stopped in the Mingtang of the front yard to wash his hands, and then sat down to rest.

The steward hurriedly said: "It's the rainy season, the lords and the others have to slow down, and it will take another five or six days to arrive."

"Who is in charge of the mansion now? I'm going to pay my respects."

The steward personally brought hot tea to her: "It was Concubine Liu in charge, and Concubine Wang was originally in charge, but she caught a cold during the cold spring last year, and her bones collapsed immediately. Now she is so sick that she can't even go out of the house." .”

"So sick?" Song Yuan thought for a while: "Then I have to go to pay my respects."

After drinking tea, she went back to her yard to wash and change clothes. The steward hurriedly arranged for a maid to clean up the yard for her and changed her clothes. Song Yuan immediately went to Concubine Liu's yard.

Side Concubine Liu has a gentle personality, she is the dowry maid of Princess Shen, who was favored by King Zhongshan when she was pregnant, and was canonized as a side concubine after giving birth to two sons.

Seeing Song Yuan, her smile became more and more gentle: "My good boy, I'm back. I haven't grown a lot in many years, but I have lost weight. I heard that you are working for the emperor. It must have been extraordinarily hard."

"It's okay, is the side concubine in good health?"

Concubine Liu smiled: "There is nothing wrong with an elderly person. It is a blessing to be able to eat and walk. Speaking of which, the prince is coming back soon. You must have not seen the prince for a long time when you are walking outside." Now, can you still leave when you come back this time?"

"I'm ordered to inspect the reform of the fields, and I will leave when the Zhongshan matter is resolved, and I can't stay for a long time."

"You are also working hard."

She seemed to have nothing to say, and Song Yuan raised the topic: "Father is back, will the two sisters go home?"

Mentioning her two daughters, Concubine Liu's smile deepened: "Of course I want to go home. You can see them when they arrive in a few days. It's just that the eldest girl can't come, and the eldest son-in-law is transferred. Accompanied, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so there is no need to toss."

Song Yuan nodded and stood up: "I heard that Concubine Wang is also sick, so I have to go to pay her respects. It's getting late now, so I'll take my leave first."

"You child has always been the most polite, go."

Coming out of Concubine Liu's room, Song Yuan went to Concubine Wang's yard. He was really sick, lying on the bed with a haggard appearance, and even Song Yuan couldn't recognize him with dizziness. The maid beside him reminded him twice , she was also in a daze.

Song Yuan had no choice but to come out of the house: "If you are sick like this, can you write to your father?"

The maid shook her head and sighed: "I have written many letters but have not heard back, and also learned that the prince has added a new man in Jingzhao, so the side concubine told me not to write any more letters. Now I only hope to see our young master again, but the imperial court issued an order. You are not allowed to leave the station, and the servants don't know what to do."

As the maid spoke, she almost couldn't help crying.

Song Yuan couldn't bear to hear it, but she couldn't help this matter, so she had to leave.

In the evening, Concubine Liu sent someone to invite her to dinner. Song Yuan went, and there were three unmarried younger sisters at the table. to meet them.

"Although there are differences between men and women, my brothers and sisters don't have so many rules, so you don't have to stick to them." Concubine Liu greeted them to eat with a smile.

Song Yuan took her to pick up the food for himself, and his eyes fell on Chang Ning, the sixth girl next to her. She could not be mistaken, the person who walked side by side with the man's fingers on the street during the day was Chang Ning, but the girl was surrounded by waiters. How could she have slipped out of the backyard?
They ate in silence, and the three girls did not make a sound. Although Song Yuan was the closest in age to them among the brothers, even his own brothers and sisters, except for playing around when they were young, they had almost no social interaction. The elder brothers have their own husbands and masters, and they are also controlled by the nanny to learn about family management and financial management and various rules. When they are old, the elder brothers will leave home to make contributions, and they will also be arranged to marry. There is really nothing to do Opportunity to speak up.

After a dreary meal, Song Yuan sat with Concubine Liu again and Song Yuan left. After going back to the room to rest, Song Yuan noticed that there were many new gadgets in his room, and there were also many scribbled books on the bookshelf. , Look at the handwriting, it should be written by Guan Yan.

Song Yuan flipped through a few pages, and really couldn't understand what she wrote, so he put them all away, and then carefully searched the room carefully, and Song Yuan was relieved that he didn't see anything else.

After a good night's sleep, the next day, Song Yuanlai didn't go anywhere at home, Zhongshan was her own territory, she didn't worry that the people here would play tricks on her, she just wanted to do business in Zhongshan, and always had to wait for the King of Zhongshan to order Only the head can do it, otherwise it will irritate him again.

It’s rare to be so leisurely. Song Yuan came to the school grounds, asked someone to set up an archery target, and led Wei Yan and others to practice arrows. She hadn’t touched a bow and arrow for a long time. Not feeling well.

Taking aim again with the bow, she stared at the center of the target. Just as she was about to let go, she caught sight of a figure flashing across the wall not far away. Song Yuan immediately turned around and shot the arrow over. Wei Yan and the others reacted quickly and immediately chased after.

Soon, a man was escorted to the front. He had short, thin hair tied and wiped his forehead. He was held down and tried to struggle.

Song Yuan recognized him at a glance, isn't this the person who walked the street hand in hand with Chang Ning yesterday?

"Stealing things?" Song Yuan sat down and planned to have a good trial: "Search him."

The man struggled harder: "Let go of me, I'm not a thief."

Wei Yan searched him carefully and found an earring. Seeing that the earring was taken away, the man's reaction became stronger: "Give it back to me."

"He said it wasn't stealing." Song Yuan shook the earrings: "Red gold and emerald earrings, not everyone can use them."
