Finally waited until the dinner was over.
Zhaodi was arranged in an exquisite attic. She gently stroked the gorgeous and supple brocade, put the hairpin on her head, and looked at the bronze mirror to admire it carefully, feeling her mind wandering.
She is a time-travelling girl, and she is so beautiful. She must be the protagonist of this world.
Her presence is significant.
She doesn't want to replace Song Li, but she has to do so because she upholds the way of heaven!
…
At the third watch, Song Yannian was fully clothed and lying on the bed, when Lieutenant General Liang suddenly came to report.
"General, as you expected, the charity hall caught fire in the middle of the night. Someone poured tung oil on it. The fire was huge and it was completely destroyed in a short time."
"Fortunately, we arrived in time and all the children were rescued. Twelve boys and twenty girls. Only four of them suffered some flesh injuries."
"I have already asked people to take them to Shuoyang. The men will join the army and the women will wear shoe soles."
Song Yannian: "..."
"Have you asked them about their wishes?"
Vice General Liang: "Of course I asked. I said since you have nowhere to go, you might as well serve the country."
"None of them objected, they all agreed."
Song Yannian: "..."
That’s all.
"Did you see the person who set the fire?"
"I didn't see it. It was ignited by a rocket. When we chased it, the people were gone."
Song Yannian nodded, "Pay more attention to your surroundings these two days to protect Song Li's safety."
Vice General Liang rolled his eyes, thinking about the meaning of Song Yannian's words, "General! What you mean is...Song Li is..."
Song Yannian couldn't say it clearly, so he only said: "I also speculate that Song Li's poisoning is too strange. Both children are good children. We can't blame either one wrongly, so we investigate secretly in private."
"That's true!" Vice General Liang was convinced. "These two children, one is kind and the other is tough, it would be great if they were both yours."
"General, if you think about it again, will you miss one person?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Song Yannian quickly waved him away.
——
After three consecutive days of rest, Song Li finally recovered his health.
During this period, Zhaodi wanted to see Song Li many times, but Song Hailan coaxed her away.
"She is poisoned and has a cold. Don't let her illness pass on to you. Sister, you have to adapt to your role as a master in the future. When a servant is sick, there is a doctor, so why do you need to put down your body and take care of her yourself?"
"Let's go, brother will take you to buy some sweets."
Zhaodi: "..."
Three bags of sugar a day.
She also pretends to love eating.
Sooner or later she will develop diabetes.
Finally, when Song Li recovered from her illness, Zhao Di went to see her with two bags of osmanthus candies.
She also has more than a dozen bags of such candies.
"Song Li, you are finally better. I brought you your favorite candy."
How could Song Li dare to eat the food she gave him and put the candy on his pillow, "Zhao Di, you are so kind. Not only did you take me out of the charity hall, but you also treated me. Just like you said at the beginning, just live in wealth and honor. Don’t forget, you really did it, you are worthy of being my best friend!”
Zhao Di's face was stiff, and then she was filled with helplessness, "Song Li, actually I am very conflicted inside. I want to take you away, but I also want you to be free. Now I ask you formally, are you willing to work as a maid in the Song family? "
Song Li was about to answer, but she raised her hand to stop him.
"You should think about it for a day, don't be in a hurry to reply to me, and follow your inner thoughts."
She hugged Song Li gently, seemingly with infinite reluctance, and could only whisper in her ear, "But remember one thing, if you go to the Song family, your life will be handed over to the Song family, not to you." You can make the decision yourself. If the Song family wants you to die, you must die. If the Song family wants you to marry, you must marry. Of course, the Song family will not be so unkind. Under normal circumstances, you have nothing to offer. There is a high probability that she will become a foot-washing maid."
Song Li was shocked, "What? The Song family wants me to be a foot-washing maid?"
[Or do you want me to be a foot washer? 】
[You will feel uncomfortable every day until I die, right? 】
[This is the kind, simple and optimistic heroine in the book. I am really drunk. 】
"Shh..." Zhao Di pinched Song Li's waist hard, "Keep your voice down!"
There are four guards guarding the door outside!
Song Li covered his mouth and said timidly: "I don't want to be a foot washer. I...I can chop wood, fight, and make fires. I know a lot. Go tell your father and tell me, Let’s be accommodating.”
It was probably the words "your father" that pleased Zhao Di. She didn't scare Song Li anymore. She straightened her waist, and with her newly changed Shuiyue brocade dress, she looked a bit like a condescending young lady, "Okay. , you should think about it yourself, it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. I can’t tell how long I can protect you.”
"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Please give me an answer before leaving."
After Zhao Di left, Song Li put his chin in his hands and thought quietly. Suddenly he heard a "squeak" and looked up to see Song Hailan pushing the door open and walking in.
The three men from the Song family came frequently these days, and she suspected that her stunning appearance played a role. Although Zhao Di took out the token, the Song family still had a good impression of her.
"Brother Song, why are you here?"
The Song family's life-saving grace was in front of her, so she slowly tempered her sharp edge and changed into the attitude of the little sister next door in front of the Song family.
Song Hailan raised his eyebrows. He was lying on the roof and heard every word of what Zhao Di said just now.
This faker is so arrogant! How dare he say such things to his biological sister behind their backs.
Seeing Song Li weak, lonely and helpless, he felt really distressed.
But he couldn't say it clearly yet.
The three of them have already agreed not to let Song Li know that they can hear her heart.
People live in this world with all kinds of constraints, but they can only think freely and freely. If Song Li knew that her voice could be heard, she would be wronged and have distracting thoughts in the future, and she would not be able to even think about it.
Song Hailan poured himself a cup of tea first, then drank it carefully, and then said carefully, "The Charity Hall has been burned down, and you have nowhere to go. Why don't you come back to the Song family with us."
Song Li had a sad face, "But I don't want to sell myself to the Song family, let alone wash people's feet on my knees."
Song Hailan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to tear Zhao Di into pieces, "You are Zhao Di's good friend, how could we humiliate you like this? You think so badly of the Song family!"
"I'm sorry, you are all good people. What I mean is that I don't have any skills. I don't know what I can do in the Song family?"
[If I go to the Song family, Zhao Di will definitely try her best to make me a foot washer. 】
[But if I stay, the mysterious person will kill me directly. 】
【what do I do? 】
【Oh, life is hard! 】
Song Hailan couldn't help but hold her hand. Although she was only eight years old, her palm was covered with calluses and the back of her hand was covered with rough barbs.
"It just so happens that I want to talk to you about this matter. I think you are a good match, so why don't you become my personal maid."
Song Li's eyes lit up, "Is it okay? But I don't know anything, and I don't even know what the personal maid wants to do?"
Song Hailan patted her shoulder comfortingly, "You don't need to do anything, just follow me, accompany me when I write, practice with me when I practice martial arts, eat with me when I eat...that's all That’s a lot!”
【……】
[I don’t need to sleep with you when you sleep, right? 】
【Oh my God. 】
[Why do I think my brother is attracted to me? 】
【We are brothers and sisters! 】
[And I'm only eight years old...]
"Ahem...ahem!" Song Hailan quickly interrupted her nonsensical thoughts, "When you have learned enough, you can go back to Zhaodi. I know you like to be with her."
As soon as he heard the word "Zhao Di", Song Li immediately woke up.
[Being Song Hailan’s personal maid is the best choice now. 】
【Not only can you save your life, but you can also give Zhaodi eye drops at any time. 】
"Okay! Brother Song, no, Master Song, I agree! I will be your personal maid from now on."
Song Hailan exhaled and finally got it done.
But this little girl has a dirty mind and must be repaired.
"Although Song Haiming is an adopted son, he is the eldest young master. I am the second eldest son, so just call me the second young master."
"From now on, I will call you young master and eldest brother. I sincerely treat you as my sister, just like Zhao Di. Don't think too much about it."
"Ten taels of silver per month. If you perform well, you will be rewarded."
"I don't need you to sell yourself, I don't need you to wash my feet, I don't need you to kneel down and serve me."
"If you have any other requests, you can make them now."
Song Li shook his head.
"That's enough."
[Not only is it enough, it’s simply too outrageous! 】
[In the past, the monthly salary for watching the TV series Maid was only a few hundred dollars, but my brother gave me ten taels at once! 】
[No need to sell oneself! 】
[It seems that we are bound to be brothers and sisters. 】
[Brother, don’t worry, I’m here to ensure that you survive the disaster of death in one year’s time. 】
