Song Qian comforted himself that he didn't have the same experience as this old naughty slave, and it was more important to do business.
After sitting down in the front hall, Cuiwei served tea and Song Qian started to attack.
"You don't know about the commotion between Yu'er and Jing'er before, right?"
Aunt Wei blinked and looked confused: "What's going on?"
Song Heng said: "Father, my mother has been out of the house all day and doesn't know anything. My son heard about it in the academy and was afraid that it would affect her rest and recovery, so he didn't tell her."
"Fourth brother has made great progress since he came to the capital, and his lies are getting smoother and smoother. How could my aunt know that you are so close to Jiang Wanning?" Song Jing questioned.
"Brother Er, I don't know. My mother and Lady Jiang reunited because of the pox epidemic. Fifth Street in the south of the city was the first to have the pox epidemic. Cui Wei was among the first to be infected. Lady Jiang was sent here immediately. , she only knew that we lived here. This time my mother and Cuiwei got sick and wandered on the road to hell. Thanks to Madam Jiang’s all-out treatment regardless of past grudges, we were able to escape. Today I heard that Chen Qilang and others were going to celebrate Madam Jiang, My mother felt it necessary to go and thank her in person, so she went to the Jiang family. It was not as close as you said. "
Song Heng's eyes were calm, his face was sincere, and he had an honest face, making it difficult for anyone to think that he was lying.
Song Qian snorted coldly: "Since you know that your eldest brother and second brother are in trouble, why don't you help? Even if you can't help, as a brother, it is always necessary to show concern!"
Song Heng looked embarrassed: "Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The eldest brother and the second brother acted too recklessly. I was irresponsible and insisted on causing such embarrassment. They were taken to Dali Temple, beaten in public, and even lost. Fame. Even if the child wants to help, he can't help, let alone get involved in the slightest. Now the prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Chen Qilang both have a good impression of the child. If not for his mother, the prince would still want to invite the child to his Live in the house.”
Song Qian took a breath, but he didn't expect Heng'er to be promising and even befriend the prince.
"The Crown Prince treated Lady Jiang like his own sister. When the Crown Prince found out, he was very angry and had a fight with those who spoke ill of Lady Jiang in the academy. It's not like the child didn't help the eldest brother and the second brother to fall in love, so he was beaten cruelly by the Crown Prince. After scolding him harshly, the prince said that if he didn't know the child's nature, and if it wasn't for Chen Qilang's sake, he would break off the relationship with the child. The prince also warned the child that if he found out that the child was with the eldest brother and the second brother, If we still have contact with my brother, we will break off the relationship."
"The boy was thinking that the futures of the eldest brother and the second brother were cut off. If the boy's future was ruined again, then the Song family would really have no hope. Therefore, the boy thought it would be better to keep a distance for the time being and wait until things change. .”
Song Qian was silent and actually agreed with Song Heng's move.
All the children of the Song family cannot be buried.
Thinking of this, Song Qian glared at Song Jing and Song Yu fiercely. It was these two brainless idiots who caused such a big trouble.
Song Yu and Song Jing's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Song Heng, who was once the least promising member of the Song family, is now shaking, and he started shaking by stepping on their heads.
"Did father come to the capital as soon as he received the letter?" Song Heng asked. Just now his father said that he caught up with the outbreak of the pox as soon as he arrived. Counting the time, he was afraid that his father would miss the official document from the Ministry of Personnel.
"Exactly."
"Then father shouldn't have received the official document from the Ministry of Personnel, right?"
Song Qian was confused: "Official document from the Ministry of Personnel? What official document?"
Song Heng hesitated and said: "My child heard what Chen Qilang said. After discussion with the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they all agreed that the bad conduct of the eldest brother and the second brother was the fault of the father and his son. My wife has purchased so many properties in the capital. It also made the officials suspect that my father was involved in corruption and bribery, so my father was removed from the post of Xuancheng Tongzhi and demoted to Jiangcheng magistrate. The official documents were sent out before the outbreak of the pox."
"What?" Song Qian was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
He rushed to the capital in a hurry, thinking of making some plans to preserve the reputation of his two sons and prevent himself from being implicated. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had already issued an official document demoting him to be the official of Jiangcheng.
It was like pressing his face to the ground and rubbing it.
He walked out of Jiangcheng, and was asked to return to Jiangcheng to work as a pawnbroker, where he was constantly criticized and laughed at. Might as well kill him!
"Oh, this is fine Ru Kiln white porcelain. It belongs to the Chen family. That's all..." Aunt Wei cried out in distress.
Then he seemed to come to his senses and asked his son in a daze: "Heng'er, what did you just say? The master was demoted to be a pawnbroker in Jiangcheng?"
The sincere words must be emphasized again and again.
"Why didn't you tell mother about such a big thing earlier?" Aunt Wei scolded.
Song Heng looked at her mother's exaggerated acting skills and wanted to laugh in her heart, but she held it back: "Mom, when the child knew about it, the pox epidemic had already broken out. The child just came home today, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Aunt Wei looked at the master worriedly: "Master, what should we do? Oh, it would be great if Da Lang and Er Lang could think twice before acting. After all, they are young people with a bit of impulsive temper. But why didn't Madam persuade them? Madam has been with the master for many years, so she should learn a little bit of the master's stability."
Song Qian was so angry that he couldn't speak. It was over, everything was over.
It was not enough to lose face in Jiangcheng, so he went to the capital to lose face.
Half his life's business, all hope was in vain.
Seeing their father stunned, as if turned to stone, Song Yu and Song Jing also became anxious.
"Father, father..."
Song Qian didn't respond.
Aunt Wei was crying while rubbing her back to comfort the master: "Master, you must be more open-minded. The pian is also an official after all. It is better than being slapped to the end..."
Add some more oil to the fire.
Song Qian's hands were shaking in anger, and his mouth was visibly crooked.
Song Jing yelled at Song Heng anxiously: "What are you still doing? Call the doctor, call the doctor quickly..."
Song Heng said, "I'll go right away."
After taking two steps, he remembered: "I don't have a carriage."
"Take our carriage." Song Yu said.
Song Heng took a carriage and deliberately traveled a long way, several miles away to ask for a doctor.
It was already more than half an hour later when the doctor was finally called.
After looking at it, the doctor sighed and said, "The patient was originally depressed in the heart, and the depressed Qi blocked the liver and lungs. Now the anger attacks the heart, causing a stroke."
Song Yu and Song Jing were struck like five thunders.
They just came to see Aunt Wei, hoping that Aunt Wei could put in a good word with Jiang Wan Ning. However, their goal was not achieved, and their father was so angry that he had a stroke.
The two of them have no hope of official career. If their father suffers another stroke, the sky of the Song family will collapse.
What should I do?
Jiang Zhai, just after the banquet ended and everyone left, Grandma Liu came back again.
Grandma Wang was surprised: "Why are you back?"
Aunt Liu said depressedly: "Master Song took the two gentlemen to Aunt Wei's place. Aunt Wei asked me to come and report a message to Mrs. Jiang."
