The second time he heard this woman say that his father was going to die, Wen Renjie became concerned.
But he never listened to one side of the story.
Looking back, he will ask for confirmation.
Wen Renjie stopped talking. No matter how much Song Li tried to tease him, he remained indifferent.
He was full anyway.
A class in ancient times was very long, a full two hours.
Wen Renjie ignored her again. Song Li felt dizzy and fell asleep leaning against the wall.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Song Li immediately stood up and knelt down to a standard.
Wen Renjie glanced at her, stood up and left.
Song Li was about to follow her, but saw Song Mei staring at her sadly.
Her current identity is that of a maid, so she has no choice but to go to Song Mei first.
At noon, the young masters gathered together to eat. Song Li was absent-minded and kept staring out the window.
Xiao Lingxi glanced at Song Li and pointed out: "Some people are smart and know that they can't climb those high branches, so they come to climb this crooked-neck tree."
Her maid covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's right. People recognize her as their adopted sister. What else can she do?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of virtue you have. If you put a bunch of bad fish and rotten shrimps together, you'd be right."
Song Mei's face turned red and white, she was angry and excited at the same time. She was angry that Song Li had embarrassed her, and she was excited that Song Li, a real daughter, had gotten so messed up. Is there any room for improvement?
Song Li also came to his senses and knew that they were talking about her. If she didn't explain a few words, she might not be able to be this maid tomorrow.
She pretended not to hear, gave Song Mei more tea, and asked in a low voice, "Second Miss, how come there are beggars in the palace? It's so refreshing, I feel like begging again."
"Pfft..." Xiao Lingxi almost laughed.
"Giggle..." The other girls also laughed.
Xiao Lingxi became interested, "What's your name? Were you a beggar before?"
Song Li looked at Xiao Lingxi when he heard the word "begging", "Yes, yes, yes, I have been begging since I was a child. I was sent to Charity Pavilion when I was six years old. I am eight years old this year. I took advantage of the second lady and was taken in by the Song family. Hehehehe .”
Seeing her stupid look, Xiao Lingxi knew that she had misunderstood her.
Although she is not said to be extremely smart, she doesn't look too different from others. This woman's eyes are clear and not at all flattering.
But no matter good or bad, to her, she is just a cheap maid.
"Why did you ask for food before? Give me a performance. If you perform well, you will be rewarded!"
Song Li immediately took an empty bowl and poured it on the ground, pretending to be lame, "Grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, please do me a favor and give me a little money."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The girls burst into laughter.
"It's okay to give it to someone who stutters. I'm going to starve to death... I'm hungry... Good Samaritan, you'll make a fortune with one bite, and you'll be promoted to a higher official with just one copper..."
"Hahahaha... Oops, I can't, I'm going to die laughing..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xiao Lingxi asked her servant to throw a purse to her. Song Li opened it and saw that it was a bag of golden beans.
Although she is not short of money now, and after spending all her money on Duan Wang's palace, she is even richer than the rest of the country, but there is no such thing as too much money, not to mention that there will be more places to use the money in the future.
Song Li's eyes shone brightly, "This aunt is really a fairy descended from the earth, and it almost dazzled the boy's eyes. You were born to be smart, spit out pearls every day, and boast in prosperity, and your fast horse carries you blessings for thousands of miles, and your happy fish brings longevity to thousands of families." …”
"Hahahaha..." Xiao Lingxi was flattered by a beggar for the first time, and it was so straightforward and refreshing.
"What makes you laugh so hard?"
Suddenly a male voice appeared, and several people turned around to see Xiao Yifeng and Song Haiming walking towards them.
Xiao Lingxi immediately pulled Xiao Yifeng over to watch the beggar beg.
When Song Haiming saw the situation in front of him, he was immediately furious and it took a lot of effort to hold back from taking action.
Xiao Lingxi rewarded Song Li with another bag of golden beans, and Song Li performed even harder, making Xiao Yifeng laugh out loud. He also rewarded Song Li with a thousand taels of silver notes.
Song Haiming was angry, clenched his fists, and slowly walked forward. He knew he couldn't do anything, but he could still pull Song Li up.
However, the moment he looked at Song Li, he paused again.
He actually saw the warning in Song Li's eyes.
[Show them you can't do it when you can, show them you don't use them when you use them, show them how far you are when you are close, show them how close they are when you are far away; use them to lure them if they are profitable, take them when you are in chaos, prepare them when they are strong, avoid them when you are strong, and scratch them when you are angry. Be humble and arrogant, lose and work hard, get close and leave. Attack the unprepared and take them by surprise. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed down first. 】
Song Li's heartbeat was deafening, Song Haiming's chest seemed to be hit, and his brain buzzed, followed by unprecedented clarity.
My sister is indeed no ordinary person.
He slowly got out of the chaos, took off the money bag from his waist, and threw it into Song Li's bowl, "Hahaha, I didn't know my little sister was so interesting."
[Big brother understands me. 】
[I didn’t kneel down, and I didn’t suffer any loss. I just pretended to be disabled and recited a few jingles and got so many rewards. Why not? 】
If it were placed in modern times, this job would be worth a lot of money.
Xiao Yifeng turned to him and asked, "Is this woman your sister?"
Song Haiming smiled slightly and said, "She is Mei'er's former friend, and we recognize her as our adopted sister."
Xiao Yifeng ignored him, he was just a jerk.
Song Mei sat in the back and looked at Song Li, who was covered in dirt, and then at Song Haiming, who was smiling happily. She felt extremely happy for a moment.
She also said that they have been like brothers and sisters all day long, and they have such a good relationship.
Wasn't it because he was promoting Song Li to pave the way for her?
If you really like it, when you see others making fun of Song Li, you can't step forward and fight for it?
At this time, she understood more deeply how good the Song family was to her. To really love someone is to make her live a noble life, just like she was sitting on the stage while Song Li was acting in the audience.
One day in the future, she will sit on the highest position, and where will Song Li wallow and laugh?
"Hahaha..." Song Mei joined everyone in laughing together.
In the end, it was Xiao Lingxi who got tired of laughing and asked Song Li to stop, "Okay, okay, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard."
"If you come here tomorrow, you don't have that wooden face. It's not interesting at all."
"It's an honor for Cao Min to like the Sixth Princess. Cao Min will definitely come tomorrow."
Xiao Yifeng pretended to scold Xiao Lingxi, "Don't kill people for fun."
Xiao Lingxi also replied casually, "I know, brother Huang."
Outside the window, Wen Renjie slowly crawled away.
He suddenly had a bold idea.
…
At dusk, the day's schoolwork ends.
The young masters left the palace one after another and went back to their homes in carriages. Wen Renjie also changed into gray cloth and walked out of the palace.
He can go out normally, but he must return before the palace door is locked.
He first went to Prince Duan's Mansion and asked Prince Duan to help him investigate his father's current situation. He also used the toilet to release a messenger crow from Prince Duan's Mansion.
Xirong has a secret method that can carve letters on the feet of birds, so even the secret guards cannot find out the clues.
After leaving Prince Duan's Mansion, he went for a walk to the south of the city. He smelled the steamed bun shop and the haggis soup. Finally, he spent two pennies on a piece of briquettes and was scolded by the boss as a poor man.
After returning to the palace, he cooked some rice with this piece of briquettes. Halfway through the cooking, he put out the fire and saved it for next time.
…
In the evening, the secret guard reported Wen Renjie's whereabouts throughout the day to the emperor as usual.
After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand casually and said, "Go down."
It has always been obvious that Duan Wang had a relationship with Wen Renjie, and it was nothing more than a transaction between some women.
Others are also reasonable.
The Song family, on the other hand, has been a bit dishonest recently and has been eyeing the position of Ling Li Yulin.
Since they want it so much, let's take it, as long as they can hold it securely.
