Chapter 159 The Two Elders of the Song Family
Li Minghe quickly flew out of the window again, while Song Qingwan, with messy hair, opened the door of the guest room.
She smiled as brightly as a flower, and said with a hint of apology, "Grandma, why did you come here in person? It should be me, the younger generation, who should go over to pay my respects."
The old lady of the Song family has no maternal family, and of course Mr. Song has no relatives in Jiangnan. The old lady is a few years older than the old man, and she has always been a quiet but shrewd person.
Although she is old now, she is still in good health. Her weather-beaten face is full of traces of time, and her eyes are like deep lakes, revealing wisdom and tenacity.
The old lady has always been very capable. She supports the whole family by her needlework. She is also good at raising chickens and pigs, and growing crops and vegetables is no problem at all. To be precise, the old lady is the head of the family.
On the contrary, Mr. Song is like a playboy who never grows up and relies on his wife. He hardly cares about the small matters at home in his daily life. Of course, nothing major has ever happened in the Song family, which makes the old man seem a bit incompetent.
But everyone in the Song family respected the old man very much, and even had a bit of awe in him, because the old man had a kind of majesty that emanated from his bones.
"When has our Song family ever paid attention to these things? What are you doing in the room? You look like you're laughing your ass off." Old Mrs. Song looked around the room curiously, but of course she found nothing in the end.
"No, I was reading a storybook and came across something funny, hehe~" This was the best excuse Song Qingwan could think of.
The old lady looked very strange. This child actually had a hobby of reading storybooks in the morning? Is this how Song Lao Er taught his children? What kind of quirk is this? I can only say that he is worthy of being a member of their old Song family.
There were all kinds of people with strange personalities. But the old lady still had a kind smile on her face. How could her eldest granddaughter dislike her?
She stretched out her rough hands and gently stroked Song Qingwan's face, asking with concern.
"Were you tired yesterday? Grandma didn't even have a chance to take a good look at you." Her eyes were full of love and pity, as if she could see through Song Qingwan's calm appearance and the tiredness deep in her heart.
The old lady and the fourth son's family were buried in the avalanche and did not see Song Qingwan's heroic performance on the battlefield.
It was only later that I heard from my eldest son and youngest daughter that Song Qingwan not only killed enemies on the battlefield, but also used their family's carpentry skills to make a huge shovel and dug out a carriage of people buried under the snow.
Otherwise, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could rescue them later, who knows how many of them would still be alive by then?
So, their lives were saved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but his granddaughter also contributed. Of course, other people who helped also made great efforts.
In fact, Old Master Song was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. It was obvious that the Song family had produced a great general. What should he do? This was obviously more shocking than the ambiguous relationship between his granddaughter and the Crown Prince.
Yes, it's terrifying! The Song family's ancestral precepts forbid recruiting military power. Song Qingwan is a girl, so she shouldn't go that far, right?
Therefore, the old lady was actually urged by Mr. Song to come here. She couldn't wait to remind Song Qingwan that she didn't know how Mr. Song taught his children that they even forgot the "heirloom"?
Song Qingwan helped the old lady into the house, saying, "This is nothing. As long as our family is safe, Qingwan's efforts are worth it."
If you have to take credit for something, you cannot take it lightly even in front of your relatives. This is not to be petty, but to make the relationship closer.
"Good boy, you did very well." Talking about the thrilling experience she had, the old lady couldn't help but shudder even though she had seen many scenes.
The death of several of them is not terrible. What is terrible is that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encounters an accident because of the Song family, it is conceivable that the rest of the Song family will not survive, and they will be completely wiped out.
Who would have thought that the person who rescued the Song family from the beginning was actually the wise and powerful Crown Prince? If he had known the other party's identity earlier, Mr. Song would definitely not have followed him, but would have continued to cling to the Red Escort Agency.
The royal family is also a taboo for the Song family.
Of course, Song Qingwan didn't know about these things, and the facts had already happened, so they could only~ cheat! Yes, anyway, Mr. Song would not give in easily unless Song Qingwan was disobedient and unfilial.
"Let grandma comb your hair. When you were little, you didn't like to wear makeup because you were very strong and you climbed mountains and walked rivers more wildly than other boys. Now you have become wild enough to be accepted by the royal family.
Wanwan, do you know what that means? This is a road full of thorns and on a cliff. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. "
Grandma pushed Song Qingwan down, took out a wooden comb she carried with her from her sleeve, and smoothed her eldest granddaughter's messy hair. Her movements were unusually gentle.
The tone was earnest and the words were profound, which did not sound like something an old country lady who had never seen the world would say.
This is Song Qingwan's new, clear and strong understanding of her grandmother. The old lady is not like an ordinary person, and the Song family is becoming more and more mysterious.
However, Song Qingwan did not feel any pressure at all and was full of confidence. "I'm not afraid, and the Song family is not afraid either, right?"
Grandma seemed to have guessed Song Qingwan's answer a long time ago, and was not surprised. "Yes, we are not afraid, but the Song family's ancestral precepts do not allow us to recruit military power. That is the fastest way to destruction."
"I only do business, grandma. I have nothing to do with military power. Don't worry." You can't go the martial arts route, right? Then you can go the literary route. My brothers are actually pretty good at studying.
Grandma knocked Song Qingwan on the head and said, "This is also what your grandfather meant, so don't take it lightly.
Look at the subordinates around you, the seven famous saints in the capital. Your father wrote to us and told us that it is no exaggeration to say that whoever gets the seven saints will get the world.
On the way to the capital, my family and I have witnessed the abilities of the Three Saints. It can be said that they have accomplished a task that could only be accomplished by an army of thousands of people.
With such powerful subordinates, are you really willing to just do business?" Once a person has ability, he will certainly not be satisfied with the status quo.
Song Qingwan chuckled, "That's right, your granddaughter is a loser. She just wants to make a little money and live a comfortable life. When the time is right, she will conquer the harem and occupy the position of queen. But there can only be me as the mistress in his harem~"
But how difficult is it to achieve this?
The old lady was shocked. Her eldest granddaughter had such a wish? She had originally come to persuade and seek reassurance, but now it seemed that she was even more worried.
But if Song Qingwan really succeeds, then wouldn’t the Song family be able to avenge their great hatred?
"Oh, grandma, don't worry, let's enjoy ourselves today, cherish the present moment, and we can worry about the future later.
It’s time to set off. My father and his family must be waiting anxiously, and there are two big happy events waiting for you at home.”
The happy events of the Song family in Beijing, of course, refer to the newborn child Xiaoqi and the father’s promotion.
And there is one more thing, which may be the biggest happy event for Mr. Song and Mrs. Song~
