Chapter 155 The sinister bird of prey
She is tall and graceful, tall and delicate, not ugly, but her eyes are floating and there are some vain things in her eyes. Her family's Prince Chu once said that when you look at people, you have to look at their eyes. You can't hide things in the eyes. , sometimes your eyes will betray you and reveal your true nature.
Of course, this does not include the group of cunning and cunning old foxes in the court who would not change their expressions even if the sky fell.
But Song Huai was a thirteen-year-old boy after all. Even if he was mature and steady, when she looked at him seriously with a solemn face, he couldn't help but be nervous and might reveal something.
It seems that this is not a person worthy of entrusting him with his life.
Zhuo saw through Song Huai's true nature at a glance and knew that he was Chu Yu's fiancé and the person who would spend the rest of his life with Chu Yu. She couldn't help but feel a little heavy and worried about Chu Yu's future.
It is a pity that such a good child as Chu Yu was betrothed to such a hypocritical boy.
If...
Suddenly, she thought of her son, and she shuddered again. She quickly suppressed the thought deep in her heart, not daring to think about it.
Although she was not happy, etiquette was still required. Mrs. Zhuo gave Song Huai a jade pendant as a meeting gift, and asked him a few questions about his studies with a smile. Knowing that he had done well in his homework, he praised him generously. A few words.
The maid came in and announced that dinner was ready.
"There are no outsiders here. Let's all eat at the same table." Mrs. Zeng said.
Everyone moves to the restaurant.
Seven dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, the dishes were rich and exquisite, and several people ate quite happily. After the meal, Mrs. Zeng was used to taking a nap, and Mrs. Zhuo went to Xia Zihan's yard to talk, Song Huaihe Chu Jingqi went to the front yard.
Chu Jingqi didn't like playing with Song Huai, but he didn't want Song Huai to always cling to Xia Zihan. Thinking of Song Huai staring at Xia Zihan infatuatedly, he reluctantly sacrificed his time with Xia Zihan and went with Song Huai Play.
However, the two of them were both civilized and martial. One suggested reciting poetry and the other suggested riding horses and hunting.
In the end, neither one was convinced by the other, so the two simply played chess together and fought on the chessboard.
In the room, after the servants left and left, Mrs. Zhuo took Xia Zihan's hand and told her seriously, "Ayu, tell the truth to your aunt, what do you think of the eldest son of the Song family?"
Xia Zihan lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Gentle and elegant, a humble gentleman, he is considerate and attentive, and he knows how to care for others." This was just the surface of Song Huai.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhuo's face became more solemn, and her tone became more solemn, "You will marry him in the future, and you have to put a hundred thousand thoughts into understanding him. As the saying goes, you will marry him in the future." Well, knowing a person’s face but not their heart, it’s hard to paint the skin of a tiger but the bones. Some people are one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. They are a person in front of the face and a ghost behind the scenes. Even people who have been together for a lifetime, it is difficult to see through what the other person is like inside. People.”
"Auntie is telling you this because she cares for you as if you were her own daughter. Auntie doesn't want you to be bullied, deceived, and live a hard life in the future. Auntie just wants you to know more about the person you will sleep with in the future."< br>
"As long as you understand your man thoroughly and know what kind of person your man is, your husband and wife will live with less friction in the future."
Zhuo taught Xia Zihan earnestly and sincerely, not wanting her to be deceived by Song Huai's hypocritical appearance due to her young age.
"I know." Xia Zihan's eyebrows furrowed. Her aunt was really amazing. She could see what was in Song Huai's bones when they first met, and she described it very well.
Yes, Song Huai is the kind of person who is a human being in front of his face and a ghost behind his back.
In her previous life, she had known him for more than ten years, and it was not until the end that she discovered that he was a ruthless, hypocritical, indifferent liar.
He took so much money from her, but on the wedding day, he treated her with disdain, turned around and married her stepsister, and when she was framed by her stepmother, he didn't even say a word for her, and even wanted to She married far away.
The hypocrisy of such a villain made her sick. How could she not understand him? She knew him thoroughly.
Xia Zihan held Zhuo's hand and said softly, "Aunt, I understand what kind of person Song Huai is, but I'm still young. It's not too late to wait until a few years to talk about everything." In a few years, she won't need her. If Song Huai takes action, he will dig his own grave.
When he digs his own holes and jumps, she won't mind standing up and stepping on him a few times.
"Ayu, it will be too late in a few years." In a few years, she will marry into the Song family. By then, it will be too late to be wary of Song Huai.
Ms. Zhuo had a quick temper, otherwise she would not have anxiously pulled Xia Zihan to hide in the room to teach her after dinner. It was obvious that Xia Zihan was not impatient or impatient, but she was extremely anxious.
She is the emperor who is not in a hurry, but is in a hurry to kill the eunuch.
"Ayu, a woman's marriage is a major event that affects the rest of our lives. You are engaged to Song Huai and marrying him is a certainty. What you have to do now is to understand your husband's character. He must have a good character. , you will follow steadily from now on If he has a bad character in his life, then you should hold on to everything that belongs to you. When you have a child in the future, put everything on your son and teach him well. When your son gets married and starts a career, your life will not be in vain. ”
"After all, we women can guard only three acres of land in the inner courtyard. If we marry a good man, he will be considerate to you and will not cause trouble for you. If we marry a heartless man, he will cause trouble for you. It’s not easy to be a woman.”
After saying that, he sighed again and again.
Xia Zihan tugged at her lips, feeling bitter in her heart.
She understood Zhuo's good intentions, just like when she reminded Zhuo that the person who assassinated Prince Chu was someone close to them, they all had good intentions. And if a woman marries a bad husband, what kind of end she will end up with, she has already experienced it in her previous life.
Not only was she disfigured by her husband, but she was also beaten and scolded at every turn. Even if she was bedridden, she still had to earn money to support him.
Those days were simply hell for her.
However, if she is reborn, she will not let herself end up with such a tragic result in this life.
If she was still forced to marry Cao Zian in this life, she would readily give Cao Zian a knife and let him go to meet the Lord of Hell early.
If one of her and Cao Zian had to die, of course Cao Zian would die.
"Ayu, what's wrong with you?"
Oh my god, this child's eyes are so sinister and scary. Could it be that she scared Ayu?
Mrs. Zhuo panicked and said hurriedly, "Ayu, aunt is just talking casually. Don't get into trouble. If you don't want to get to know Song Huai, then we won't go. There are aunts on your side to help you." If you are your backer, he won’t dare to bully you.”
Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly hugged Xia Zihan, patted her back and coaxed her softly.
Xia Zihan's anger gradually calmed down, and then there was a burst of annoyance.
Damn it, when she thought of Cao Zian, she couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart. She even forgot about her aunt beside her. She was so frightened that her face turned as white as snow. If her uncle found out, he would have to skin her. No.
My aunt is the person who is dear to my uncle's heart.
After coaxing Mrs. Zhuo, Xia Zihan and Mrs. Zhuo went to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of fresh vegetables. They filled a basket with the fruits picked in the morning. Chu Jingqi, the Zhuo family, took them away when they went home. .
At the Song family, Xia Zihan also packed a basket for Song Huai to take back.
When Song Huai saw that Xia Zihan treated him the same as he treated the Chu family, Song Huai felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. When he left, he told Xia Zihan, "I'll come back tomorrow."
"My cousin hopes that you can take the imperial examination next spring. It's time for you to study hard. I don't want to distract you, so I'd better wait to see you when I'm free."
Although he said it beautifully, Xia Zihan actually didn't like Song Huai's swaggering in and out of the Chu family.
The Chu family was her territory, and she didn't want Song Huai to come here as casually as she did at home.
This makes her uncomfortable.
Song Huai thought that Xia Zihan was concerned about his studies, and he was very happy, "Don't worry, I will definitely be admitted as a scholar."
Song Huai is the son of a distinguished noble, so he doesn't actually need to go to great lengths to test for fame. When he grows up, the title of the Song family will naturally fall on him.
Once you have a title, what else do you need to do with the fame? This is a common understanding among everyone in the noble family.
But when Song Baiqing saw that his son was studying hard and doing well in his studies, he insisted that Song Huai take the scientific examination. He said that if Song Huai passed the examination and inherited the title of Marquis of Anyang in the future, he would be the first person in a noble family to have a reputation. Mr. Hou.
Song Huai is thirteen years old this year and will only be fourteen next year. If he really passes the exam, there will be fourteen-year-old scholars in the Great Sheng Dynasty, but not many. When the time comes, Song Huai will definitely become a scholar. Reputation.
In his previous life, Song Huai was admitted as a scholar at the age of seventeen. At that time, the Song family had just squeezed into a first-class noble family, and Song Huai had gained the reputation of a scholar, which was a double happiness.
In this life, the Song family did not have the help of the Chu family, but Song Baiqing still entered the Yinlin Guards and became a fellow scholar.
She found out about this matter when she sent Chu Zong and Chu Fei to inquire about it while she was recuperating in Qing'an Town.
The matter of Song Boqing entering Yinlin Guard was only a month ago.
Did the Song family join the Lu family?
In the previous life, the Song family had taken refuge with the Lu family. Without the stumbling block of Concubine Lu, they had the help of Concubine Lu, which made Song Baiqing's career smoother.
In this life, the Song family was able to successfully work in Yinlin Guard without the help of the Chu family. She would not believe it if there was no help from the Lu family.
The Song family and the Chu family are relatives, and even more so by marriage. If the Song family had not taken refuge with the Lu family, the people from the Lu family would have definitely hindered the Song family's career.
Song Baiqing wanted to reorganize the Song family, but there was no way he could even think about it.
As for the Song family, a down-and-out noble family, the emperor had never paid attention to them at all. If the Lu family wanted to eradicate them, they would be able to do so easily.
