At this time, Zhaodi also stood up, and the afterglow of the setting sun outlined a golden edge on her smiling profile. Her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and she smiled peacefully and beautifully, like a fairy falling into the world.
Everyone instantly had the illusion that they had traveled from "the solitary smoke in the desert" to "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence".
What's even more surprising is that they actually saw the shadow of the Madam in this girl, especially when she smiled, the more she looked like the Madam.
Song Hailan opened his eyes wide, and Song Yannian couldn't help but frown in deep thought.
For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet, and only the sound of the river flowing quietly could be heard.
After a long time, Song Hailan was the first to break the calm, "Dad, could it be that I'm obsessed with thinking about it day and night? Why do I look like my sister to everyone?"
Vice General Liang rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "General Song? Let's just ask, is it possible that these two are your offspring?"
Song Yannian glared at him, "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"
"Go to the nearby inn first, and we'll talk about the marriage announcement tomorrow."
"yes."
The group of people rode away.
Zhao Di looked at their retreating figures, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
They left before she could reply.
Song Li was satisfied.
After all, their first glance was given to her. It is understandable that the second glance that fell on Zhaodi would not be so stunning.
whee.
Today's goal has been achieved.
You know, in the original article, Lieutenant General Liang directly crossed the river to pick up Zhao Di. Today, Lieutenant General Liang did not pick up anyone, but his attitude was obviously towards her, but the sudden appearance of Zhao Di made him dare not act rashly.
The two of them lowered their heads to wash clothes, without talking to each other. Song Li secretly looked at Zhao Di and found an unnatural blush on her face, and her eyes were filled with unwillingness and embarrassment.
After discovering Song Li peeking at her, Zhao Di looked at her suddenly.
"Why did you come out?"
"Why did you come out?"
"What are you doing out here?"
She sternly asked three questions from her soul.
Song Li blinked, as if he didn't understand why she was so angry.
"You are my best friend, and as long as I have any strength left, I cannot leave you to suffer alone."
Zhaodi looked at her stupid eyes, then looked at the clothes she had already washed half of. Filled with anger and nowhere to vent, she threw down her clothes and left muttering.
"If you don't come early, you won't come later..."
Song Li's mind was dizzy and his whole body was chilling, but he was in a wonderful mood.
The right people always appear at the right time and the wrong people always leave at the right time.
Just like this moment.
In the distance, Song Hailan walked slower and slower, already far behind the team.
Song Li lowered his head, rubbing his clothes carefully bit by bit, and ignored it until a long stream of mucus flowed from his nose, until a tall figure stood next to him.
Song Li raised his head and looked at him.
There were two strings of crystal snot hanging under his nose, his hands were red and swollen and trembling slightly, but his eyes remained determined.
Song Hailan was shocked again.
"you……"
He took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and was about to wipe her nose.
Song Li turned his head to avoid it, blew his nose into the river with his hands, and then washed his nose with the cold river water.
After everything was done, he asked calmly: "What do you want to do, young master?"
Song Hailan looked at her red face and nose, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"May I have your name?"
Song Li raised his eyebrows, "Why should I tell you?"
Song Hailan quickly explained, "I won't hurt you, I just want to know your name."
Song Li ignored him and put the washed clothes back into the basket one by one. Then his small body bent over to pick up the basket, and left with his hunched body under Song Hailan's sincere eyes.
Song Hailan looked at her thin back, which was not much taller than the backpack. His heart was so congested that it was difficult to breathe. He immediately followed her and lifted the backpack with one hand.
"Little sister, brother is really not a bad person."
"Brother just wants to talk to you."
"I'll give you this bag of pine nut candies first!"
"Brother will come see you tomorrow."
Song Li kept ignoring him, but he wasn't annoyed. When he walked ten meters away from the door, he stuffed a bag of pine nut candies into Song Li's arms without any explanation.
Just when Song Li was about to refuse, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Zhao Di walked out holding the hand of a big sister.
"Dare you ask this young master? But the little sister offended you?" The eldest sister asked softly with a pink and white flower on her head.
Song Li thought about it for a moment. The eldest sister's name was Luo Yu, which was given to her by her mother in charge. She had just turned fourteen this year. She was quite pretty and was about to be sold. , I heard that the buyer is an old man.
Luoyu knows her fate, and she doesn't mind being sold. For her, this is a road to glory and wealth, but she seems to be dissatisfied with the buyer and has been sighing recently.
She behaved so gracefully and generously that Song Hailan found it hard to leave.
"No," he replied with his hands raised, "I just felt that I liked this little sister, so I chatted with her for a few words."
Luo Yu smiled sweetly, with the corners of her mouth just right, "That's good! It's getting late, so I'll take my little sister home."
Song Hailan nodded, and Zhao Di also took this opportunity to say goodbye to him with a smile, her eyes still very similar to her mother's curved into a crescent shape.
But Song Hailan's heart could no longer feel any emotion. This kind of smile measured with a ruler made him feel boring. Only the small figure carrying a big backpack always touched his heart.
He kept staring at the back, expecting her to turn around and say goodbye to him, and also wanted to take another look at her stubborn face.
But until the door creaked shut, Song Li didn't look back.
Song Hailan stood outside the door in despair.
In the haze, he seemed to hear a voice, [Small, let’s see if I don’t charm you to death! 】
Maybe it was some girl at the door. He didn't pay attention and turned around and walked back.
Song Li's determined eyes and those two stubborn little noses were all in his mind.
It was like a balloon that kept inflating, pushing the other two fake smiles that were not very clear out of his mind until they filled his mind.
"Tomorrow, we can meet tomorrow." He told himself.
…
At this time, in the room, Luo Yu suddenly shook off Song Li's hand and sneered: "This is because the nobles have taken a fancy to him, and they are not willing to talk to us."
Song Li sneered inwardly. She was not a madam. Now she was just an eight-year-old child. How could she be expected to bridge the gap?
How ridiculous.
"Sister, don't make fun of me. How can he be a noble person? How can I be favored by him? He just came to ask me Zhaodi's name and begged me to give this bag of pine nut candies to Zhaodi!"
Song Li looked at Zhao Di teasingly, opened the pine nut candy, grabbed a small handful and handed it to her, "I don't care, I brought it back for you, I want to eat a few more!"
Zhaodi's originally gloomy face suddenly bloomed into a flower-like smile.
"You're the only one who's not doing anything right! If you don't lie down properly even when the wind is cold, you're asking me to worry about you!"
Song Li hurriedly begged for mercy, "Good Zhaodi, good sister, I know I was wrong. Please help me hang my clothes, and I will go and lie down on the kang."
Zhaodi's smile was slightly stiff, but she quickly returned to her happy look, "Go and lie down quickly, leave this little thing to me."
Song Li was lying comfortably on the hot bed with pine nut candy in his mouth.
People often come here to donate money, and they still have to work hard to save face. The quilts are thick enough, and they pick and chop the firewood themselves. The kang is warm at night, so she doesn't have to suffer.
But in a place like this, pine nut candies are a rare good thing. The little sisters were very happy and gathered around Zhaodi to eat the pine nut candies.
Zhaodi smiled and distributed candies to everyone, but Luo Yu snatched them away.
Zhaodi didn't dare to say anything, so she took her clothes and went to the yard to dry them.
The room suddenly became quiet, Luo Yu was in a bad mood, and the little sisters didn't dare to breathe.
Charity Hall has always taught children to climb high. The children compete openly and covertly. How can there be any deep sisterly love?
In addition, the original article mentioned that there are several honest-looking children in this room who have been bribed by mysterious people. Once the Song family asks them about the jade pendant, they will insist that the jade pendant belongs to Zhaodi.
Song Li glanced at the faces of all the girls, and there were indeed a few honest-looking girls.
But even if she knew who it was, it would be useless because she had no money to buy him back.
Therefore, she had no way to prove herself and could only adopt roundabout tactics to avoid confrontation with Zhao Di.
I went through several emergency response plans in my mind, my head felt dizzy, and I fell asleep after a while.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she was sleeping deeply, she was shaken awake.
When he opened his eyes, the sky was still dark, but Zhao Di's soft voice sounded in his ears, "Song Li, it's time to drink medicine."
