Chapter 163 Identity Disclosure
"What did you say? Song Qingwan's grandfather and Song Dalin's father is the madman Song Qingshan from the Song family?!"
Mr. Song returned to the capital in a swagger, thinking that no one else knew about it. But in fact, because of Song Qingwan, everyone who should have received the news received it.
This matter was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was also reasonable.
No wonder. Song Dalin was just an official of the sixth or seventh rank. He could not be won over, but he could not be killed either. Apart from his own cunning, he was probably secretly recruited by the emperor long ago, for his own use and protection.
The source of Song Qingwan's powerful and terrifying strength also appeared.
The Song family is the dominant one in the Song family mansion, but there are countless talented people attached to it, from all walks of life, just like a small country. For example, the Confucian master like Hua Lao came from the Song family mansion.
Of course, Hua Yuansheng was not as famous as he is now, but without the help of the Song family, he would not have achieved what he has today.
The Song family were founding heroes of the Yuan Dynasty and enjoyed titles, but they were well aware of the dangers of becoming too powerful and shocking their ruler, so after the Yuan Dynasty was pacified, they decisively handed over their military power.
Later, members of the Song family generally only held honorary positions and lived a life of idleness for many years. They were open-minded and righteous, often bringing convenience and help to others. They made many friends inadvertently and gradually created a powerful force.
If they could gather more troops, they could definitely conquer the Li Dynasty. This would be a coveted piece of fat meat, and everyone would want to get a piece of it, so all kinds of conspiracies and plots followed.
However, no one from the Song family held an important position in the court. They had long since left the political center, and in the cruel battle for the throne among the Nine Dragons, they were divided up and plundered, without any ability to fight back.
Because until the last moment, the Song family did not gather the strength of talented people in the family to fight back, not because of their blind loyalty to the court, but because they did not want to owe favors to others.
After all, they can only give someone a meal or support them, but they cannot afford to take someone else's life. They are just friends, not servants who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their masters.
The Song family disbanded their clan, broke out on their own, and fought their way out of the capital. But even with the secret help of the clan members, in the end only Song Qingshan survived. It was a tragic scene.
And now, Song Qingshan has returned to Beijing. He only has his second son who has just been promoted to the fifth rank, and he holds a position in the Ministry of Works, which has nothing to do with military power.
Then there is the eldest granddaughter, Song Qingwan. She has the business talent of her maternal family and the bravery and fighting skills of the Song family. She is both civil and martial.
Below are the seven slave saints, and above, the little girl seizes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is known for his aloofness as a Buddhist, as soon as he appears.
Things gradually became clear, and the mystery of the Song family also surfaced. The chips in their hands were not very high, but they were not low either.
The most terrifying thing is that the Song family members all have crazy personalities and cannot be easily provoked. You must be more careful when you take action next time, otherwise once you are bitten, who knows if you will be doomed from then on.
In short, some old people who know the Song family well will hide their claws, just like King Ping.
The eldest princess, on the contrary, said, "Song Qingshan? Okay, okay, then let's get rid of this bastard as well!" It can be seen that there is still an old grudge between the two.

The turmoil in the capital did not affect the Song family's surprise reunion and warm conversation. Everyone was glad that they met each other alive.
However, life had to go on. There was not even enough space in this small house for multiple dining tables. Would they have to eat with bowls in their hands or sleep on the floor tonight?
"Second brother, I don't mean to criticize you, but you have been an official for so many years, but you can't even get a third-rank court. What's the point of being an official? You have worked in vain."
Uncle Song looked disdainful. The second son worked so hard for so many years, but he was better off sleeping. In his spare time, he went hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river, so that the family could have meat to eat every day. If it weren't for the natural disaster, he wouldn't want to come to this big capital. A fifth-rank official, yes, the second son of Song was promoted again. If his rank was placed in the local area, he would definitely be able to walk sideways.
But the fifth-rank officials in the capital are like fish and shrimp in the river, you can catch them in large quantities. The fact that Song Lao Er can live in a three-room courtyard is already the best outcome after careful calculation by my brother and sister-in-law. I heard that many officials rent houses.
But many people still try their best to squeeze into Beijing. Why? Is it because squeezing in is healthier?
"What do you know? I'm not very good at it, but I can give birth. My daughter is rich, but she was definitely raised by me with my hard work.
What about you? What skills do your two nephews have? They haven't gotten married yet, right? I can tell at a glance that they are delayed by your lazy father."
The two brothers are five years apart in age. Uncle Song is already forty years old, and the eldest wife has only two sons, one is twenty years old and the other is nineteen years old. However, they have no family members around them, which shows that none of them are married.
When the two older nephews heard themselves being mentioned, they immediately smiled innocently. They looked a bit like their second uncle, the kind who was cunning at heart, unlike their father who was tough and shameless.
"Hey, don't they have a capable uncle to rely on? Why should I worry about it? As the uncle who used the whole family's strength to send him to the capital, you won't have no response, right? You won't let your nephews have no house to live in and can't find a wife, right?"
Father Song was so angry at this rogue elder brother that his face turned red. If it was the second wife who had been in difficult conditions before, he would definitely have a good fight with this elder brother.
What does "the whole family's effort" mean? He didn't spend much money at home, okay? Later, he married a capable wife. He earned half of the money for travel expenses and household expenses, his wife earned half, and of course his mother supported half, but it definitely did not exceed the standard.
Whatever, his daughter made a lot of money, so he didn't need to bother about these details. "Humph, now I know that my second uncle is useful."
"Okay, stop arguing every time you meet. What are you going to do tonight? Where are you going to stay?" The old man completely forgot about beating his son before.
"Don't worry, Dad. Your eldest granddaughter is very promising. I bought a big house for you a long time ago. It has been decorated and servants have been arranged. You will be served by the master, mistress, young master and young lady. Are you satisfied now?"
Old Master Song didn't quite believe it. "Wanwan is running a small business, isn't she able to afford a big house? Is it because the prices in Beijing are low or did you get it through some other bad means?
For example, was it given by the prince?" If that was the case, the old man would never live there.
Song Lao Er froze for a moment. Everyone even knew about the prince? So it seemed that he must have met the prince on the way? The anxious Song Dad stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I have such a big factory, it's not an exaggeration to say that I make a lot of money every day, why do I need others' pity!"
"What?! Is the fine factory really owned by the Song family? The fine factory that sells down jackets?" For a moment, the Song family members widened their eyes.
"Yes, the Jing Factory belongs to Wanwan. It sells down jackets and coal, textile machines, sewing machines, water-powered drum machines, etc. Anyway, there are many products." He even got promoted thanks to his daughter's skills. Father Song was very proud.
Old Master Song glared at Song Qingwan and shouted, "You call this a small business?" Fortunately, he had a good heart, otherwise he would have been scared to death by his eldest granddaughter. The old man soothed his heart, just like Song's father who was scared at the beginning.
"Hehe, now is only the early stage, we are just doing small business, but I will work hard to make the business bigger and bigger in the future." After all, there are so many people to support, Song Qingwan made the guarantee very seriously.
The impact of advanced technology on the market may cause another batch of businesses to suffer.
