Chapter 321

Song Xiaomei sat down with a satisfied smile on her face and said with emotion: "I used to say that when my third sister-in-law gave birth to a child, I would take care of her. Now Liangchen is two or three years old, and this is the first time I see you."

"It's better to meet now. He can call you sister-in-law." Su Wan said, teasing her son to call someone. Song Liangchen held the fingers that touched her cheek and stuffed them into her mouth.

When Su Wan pulled it out, two clear tooth marks were left on her fingertips, and saliva in one hand. Su Wan wiped her hand with a disgusted look on her face and stared at Song Liangchen: "Put everything into her mouth, it's so dirty!"

Song Liangchen grinned and smiled at Su Wan.

Song Xiaomei couldn't catch her eyes: "Liangchen is so smart."

Song Liangchen seemed to understand Song Xiaomei's words, looked up at her, her eyes like crystal grapes blinked, as if they were talking, Song Xiaomei was even more happy and said softly: "Liangchen, I am your sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law?"

A flower responded with a smile on her face: "Hey, good baby!"

Song Liangchen stayed in Song Xiaomei's arms for a while, and then became impatient. He threw himself into Su Wan's arms again. Seeing Song Xiaomei's face was disappointed, Mrs. Su smiled: "He has no weight on his hands and often kicks people into pieces. If you are pregnant, it will be bad if you are kicked to the stomach. If you want to have a boy in this baby, you don't have to hold him. Turn around and ask your sister-in-law to find a small dress that Liangchen often wears. You will be fine when you sleep."

Song Xiaomei was not shy about this matter. After hearing Mrs. Su's words, she responded openly: "Then I'll trouble my third sister-in-law."

After a few people exchanged greetings in the hall, Su Wan personally took Song Xiaomei to the house, "Before my parents and the others came to live, they didn't move in a few yards. We squeezed and lived here, which was very lively."

Song Xiaomei said, "There is nowhere to be crowded. The yard is big and there is still room for the house. This yard is not much smaller than our hometown."

"It's good if you like it. You're tired from traveling a long distance, why don't you take a break?"

"No, I've been sitting in the car all the time, and I haven't suffered much." Song Xiaomei said, taking out something from her sleeve and stuffing it to Su Wan. "It's not convenient for many people outside just now. This is the meeting gift for Liangchen by my sister-in-law. Liangchen is young, so it's better for him to keep it first."

Su Wan looked down at her hand and found a silver note of fifty taels. Su Wan took Song Xiaomei's hand to the fortress back: "There is no need for such a thick meeting gift, please take it back."

"Why is it not necessary? My third sister-in-law gives me more than this? I can fully afford this good meeting ceremony." Song Xiaomei refused to take over, "My sister-in-law doesn't want it, but she looks down on me?"

"Why are you here? Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we don't take these seriously. However, you are different from your brother-in-law. Now that my brother-in-law comes to Beijing for the exam, he saves it little by little as his master's Shu Xiu. You get the money and save it for emergencies. Wouldn't it be just right?" Su Wan said helplessly, "It's not that I look down on you, but you are going to have a baby too. After raising a child, you know that everything has to be careful and cost money."

But Song Xiaomei touched her stomach and smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my husband said that he will be responsible for the birth of the child and the family life in the future, so he will definitely not give me any headaches."

Su Wanxin said that the juren who has been a lifelong scholar and has students all over the world is right. Later generations have evaluated him as a great writer, but he has nothing to do with now. He is poor for the rest of his life until he dies and will not be unable to support his family. But it is absolutely impossible to expect him to live a good life.

However, Su Wan thought about it but still didn't say anything. Looking at Song Xiaomei's firm eyes, she silently put the bill away. Song Xiaomei pulled her and asked, "I don't listen to it clearly at home. I'm confused. I still can't understand what the lady of the Liu family is here to ask you for? What's the matter with the second sister-in-law?"

Su Wan explained Miss Liu's story and fooled Song Xiaomei with the words that fooled Su Dad and the others. Song Xiaomei was relieved: "Since that's the case, I'm not worried anymore. When I returned to my parents' home, I heard that my sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were not sincere. When I asked them, I refused to say more. My parents said it was nothing, but it didn't seem like nothing. I thought it was a big deal, and I was really worried for a while."

Su Wan didn't want to continue to be confused about this topic, so she smiled and changed: "You and your brother-in-law came to Beijing this time. We should have spent more time with you, but seeing that your brother's errands are about to be released. They will leave one month in advance and go back to their hometown to see their parents and the others."

"It's okay, you guys go back to your hometown earlier. My parents are looking forward to it." Song Xiaomei smiled, "The second brother and sister are all here."

"I said the same thing. My elder sister is safe. She has given birth to two nephews. It's okay to take care of you. And my mother is also in Beijing, so she can help you."

After the Lantern Festival, Song Ziheng returned to the Hanlin Academy to serve on duty, and his appointment was soon taken down. Sure enough, he was still released. Song Ziheng compiled the sixth rank and was promoted to two levels in a row. Ren Cong's fifth rank magistrate. Compared to some people who died of old age in the Hanlin Academy for their entire lives, Song Ziheng was actually promoted faster. The only bad thing is that he was released - Qiongzhou.

When Su Wan and the others first heard about Qiongzhou, they had not yet realized where they were. In this regard, Mr. Su was well-informed and pointed to the general location. It was at the southernmost point, near the sea, and the land was not good, so it was inconvenient to farm. Therefore, most of them were fishermen and rely on the weather to make a living. In this way, they could only fill their stomachs. Mr. Su shook his head and sighed. The land was poor, and the journey was really far away, which was inconvenient to travel. More importantly, because the sky was high, the emperor was far away and inconvenient to manage, the area was a place where bandits gathered.

Everyone was very worried when they heard what Mr. Su said, but it was fine for Song Ziheng. Since the appointment was over, he only felt at ease to do his job well and do more practical things for the people below. Therefore, he was not too worried, but instead comforted everyone.

Su Wan's reaction was more calm than everyone. Poor places have the benefits of poor places, and they are difficult to manage. Once they do well, their political achievements will be even more prominent. As for whether Song Ziheng can do it well, it is not a problem she should worry about. Her task is to pack up her luggage and prepare to go on the road.
