husband and wife

Chapter 328

However, the situation is different now. Now she is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is the only one among the several daughters-in-law who stays with her parents-in-law to serve her. There is no need to do it, the mother-in-law is simply free, spends the flowers on her every month, asks her to take care of the housework, and she takes care of the servants. As the days get longer, she also learns to be more capable.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang saw that all the servants were looking at her parents-in-law, and hurriedly persuaded them to stop talking.

Although Song's mother buried Father Song, seeing that he insisted on going up the mountain, she didn't object, and changed him into old clothes herself, while Mrs. Zhang went to arrange for people to prepare water and snacks, in case Father Song was hungry on the mountain, It can also cushion the stomach.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the Song family's gate, and the gatekeeper came in with dozens of villagers from Song's family village. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang rushed up to greet her: "Why is the old man here, but something is wrong?"

The old uncle who is already the head of Songjia Village nodded with a smile on his face, and said: "No, someone outside the village saw a carriage driving here, didn't they say that Ziheng would go back to his hometown to visit relatives, I thought it should be them gone."

Mother Song's clothes fell to the ground, and she didn't notice. She looked at Uncle Song excitedly: "Are you sure? Are you really coming to our village?"

"I saw it, that's right!" a man behind Uncle Song said loudly.

Mother Song took Father Song's hand: "Father, Ziheng is back, they are back!"

Father Song's eyes lit up with excitement, and his already dark and red face looked darker, but he couldn't bear to see his old wife being so excited, so he made up his mind to hold on, coughed lightly, and pretended to be so excited. He said calmly, "I'm listening."

"Who's coming back? Are you talking about my family?" In the room, the white-haired Grandma Song was helped out by her great-granddaughter from left to right, with an excited expression, "My family's children are back?"

Father Song and his brother went up to help the old mother in person, and Uncle Song said, "Someone saw a carriage driving towards our village, there seemed to be several of them, except for Zi Heng who is an official in Beijing, I don't think there was anyone else."

Grandma Song pursed her lips, her eyes could not hide her pride: "My three sons are five-rank officials, who can afford the carriage he rides in?"

The villagers who followed Uncle Song to deliver the news were in an uproar.

"Ziheng is already a fifth-rank official? Isn't that even more powerful than the county magistrate!"

"You country bumpkin, the county magistrate has to bow down in front of Zi Heng. You're a bird compared to him!"

Mother Song heard everyone's expressions of awe and pride, and suddenly felt a little more proud. Her son was promoted, and she told them in the letter, but the old man and Da'er said that the officialdom was complicated, and her family was too high-profile. Well, for fear of causing trouble to her youngest son, no one except her close family members knows that her youngest son has been promoted to a high official.

Hearing everyone's reactions at this time, Song's mother felt unprecedentedly satisfied. She took a look at everyone and said to Song's grandma: "Mother, you are wrong. Our Ziheng is from the fifth grade, and there is a regular fifth grade on it." The official of the product."

Grandma Song laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Anyway, they are all five grades."

Someone in the crowd asked loudly: "Uncle Song, what kind of official is Ziheng now?"

His sons have all returned home to visit relatives, and there is nothing to hide on purpose. At this moment, because he is in a good mood, Father Song has a look of pride on his face, and he throws out two words loudly-"Zhizhou"!
There was another commotion among the crowd, all wanting to know what the concept of state is. Cai Funiang next door patted Song's mother's hand and said, "I said earlier that Ziheng is a promising man. He is only in his 20s, and he already knows the state. Master Guan, in people's minds, not all officials are masters, and it is really rare to see such a young official as Zi Heng."

Song's mother was really proud, but she didn't want to show it, so she smiled and said, "What kind of official, no matter how old an official is, he is also my son, and he is a person from our Song family village. I am excited because I am almost three years old. The little grandson I haven't seen once!"

The topic of the people turned to Song Ziheng's son again. Although he had never seen him before, everyone wanted to boast about the little guy. Father Song and the others were even more beaming when they heard it, and wanted to go out to greet him immediately.

On the one hand, a group of people walked out of the Song family compound, where almost the entire Song family village had already gathered, and the village chief ordered people to go door-to-door to notify them, and there was hardly any drums or gongs.

Grandma Song's hand supported by her son began to shake, and she kept saying, "Here they come!"

Everyone also looked excitedly at the approaching carriage. Before the carriage stopped, a troublemaker rushed to the front: "The official from Songjia Village is back. Which of you is the official's family?"

Father Song finally couldn't stop his excitement, and shouted loudly: "Zi Heng!"
