Quick Travel: After the European Emperor can sign in

Chapter 50 The bastard in ancient times who wanted to concentrate on his career 14

Mrs. Song's real name was Li Wanqing, and she was from a wealthy family. The Li family's power in the court was no worse than that of the Song family. Although Mrs. Song was a concubine, she was also a concubine by direct lineage, and she had extraordinary knowledge. She was suppressed by her aunt at home, so she married Magistrate Song, who went to Beijing to take the exam but had not yet passed it.

Aunt Yun followed Mrs. Song and saw her dowry at the bottom of the box. Those gorgeous and dazzling jewelry are not as good as the gifts from her son.

After coming back to her senses, Aunt Yun turned pale as she thought of something, and asked: "Honestly, where did these come from?"

Yuan Xi said aggrievedly: "Mom, I bought it."

Aunt Yun slapped the table, "Nonsense, where did you get so much money? Be honest."

After being exposed, Yuan Xi directly threw the blame on his father.

"Dad gave it to me."

Aunt Yun hesitated, "Really?"

"Yeah." Yuan Xi blinked his big eyes, trying to let his mother see the sincerity in his eyes.

"That's not right. Your father is not good at running things. The expenses of the house are all thanks to my wife. The salary from the court is just that. Your father can only pay a sum of money from the accountant and save the rest. His private money will be like this. many?"

Ah, I never expected dad to be so useless.

But now that the words have come to this, Yuan Xi can't change his words, so he simply asks him, "My son doesn't know either. It was indeed given to him by his father. If you don't believe me, ask your father."

Aunt Yun was dubious, "Tell me, how much money did you spend on these?"

It’s over, I can’t hold it any longer.

How much is appropriate to spend?

Yuan Xi has been in this world for almost ten years, and he has never paid attention to the price of jewelry. He vaguely listened to the chat between the eldest sister and the second sister (men and women in the Song family are separated), and spent dozens of taels to buy a gold hairpin. Reference value.

Under Aunt Yun's gaze, Yuan Xi casually mentioned the price, "Two thousand taels."

Then without waiting for Aunt Yun to refute, he directly changed the subject by shouting that he was hungry.

Mother and son had a meal together.

Yuan Xi didn't give her a chance to ask questions, so he yawned a few times and almost closed his eyes. Aunt Yun also felt sorry for her son because of the long journey, so she asked him to go and rest first, thinking that it would be the same if she asked him later.

He successfully evaded his mother's interrogation, and also brought his eldest brother into the team, and the mission progress was increased by one.

Yuan Xi, who felt that the future was promising, slept happily.

Wake up from sleep.

There was a maid in the main courtyard who blushed and invited him to attend the family banquet.

He is the only one who can give him a family dinner to welcome the wind and wash away the dust.

Except for the eldest brother whom I met in the morning, the other brothers and sisters had not seen Yuan Xi for a long time, and they were all very enthusiastic at this time.

They also received the gifts that Yuan Xi asked Qingzhu to send.

"I would also like to thank my fourth brother. This beaded gold walking stick is really beautiful. My sister likes it very much." Song Shuyan said, touching the walking stick on her head.

"My butterfly gold hairpin is also beautiful and lifelike. My fourth brother has good taste. Third brother has poor taste and will buy some weird hairpins." Song Qingwan complained mercilessly.

After holding it and stepping on it, Song Yunzhi stared at the golden hairpin on the head of his biological sister, his eyes filled with confusion. They all had gold hairpins, so what was the difference?

Everyone pretended not to notice Song Yunzhi's doubts. It was a matter of personal aesthetics that had to be reworked. Others should eat and drink, and there were no rules about eating or sleeping during the family banquet. The children chatted animatedly, and the adults watched from the sidelines, occasionally paying attention to Yuan Xi, the real owner.

There was a lot of laughter and joy.

After the family dinner, Yuan Xi handed over the explanation to Aunt Yun to Magistrate Song.

Magistrate Song reluctantly accepted the pot, and had to find a way to carry it steadily on his back.

Early the next morning, Magistrate Song ran away from Aunt Yun's Ziyun Courtyard, clutching his old waist.

He also cursed a few words, "You little bastard, I'll blame your father for everything.", "You've committed sin," and other words.

Yuan Xi sneezed several times in the morning, "Who is scolding me behind my back?"

Before Yuan Xi could use the intuition of a cultivator to identify the candidate, Qingzhu came in to report that someone was looking for him.

"Master, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master are here."

"please come in."

"No need to invite, the second brother is here." Song Xuanwen didn't know what politeness meant at all. He sat down and started eating and drinking like a master. He even asked Song Zhiyi and Song Yunzhi who were coming with him to sit down.

"Second brother, have you not had breakfast?" Yuan Xi watched as Song Xuanwen finished a plate of dim sum in a short time, and then moved on to another plate of dim sum.

"How dare I eat? I'm afraid I'll be kicked out if I eat too much."

Yuan Xi:? ? ? Is your family already so poor?

"Fourth brother, don't pay attention to him. He deserves it. A while ago, he and Siming played too much, and he was scolded by his mother. I remember this sentence now, and it is true."

"Brother, your back hurts when you stand and talk. I went out to play with my cousin because of the pressure." Song Xuanwen took a big bite of the pastry, rolled his eyes because he was choked, and drank two glasses of water before swallowing.

"Ahem, cough, cough, you and the fourth brother have both passed the examination. This pressure is not only on me and the third brother. You see, the dark circles under my eyes are the result of staying up late and studying hard."

"Nonsense, when did my family ever put so much pressure on you?"

"It's because I didn't give it. Isn't it because my third brother and I have a burden on our hearts?"

"I, I don't have the burden." Song Yunzhi said.

Song Xuanwen stared at him with hatred, "We are two together, why are you tearing me down?"

"But I really don't have any burden in my heart." Song Yunzhi told the truth.

With such an honest man by his side, Song Xuanwen's attempt to pretend to be pitiful and gain benefits from his elder brother failed.

"Second brother, didn't I give you a few talismans? Remember to take them with you. One of them is called the Qingxin Talisman. It can refresh your mind and make reading more effective."

The gifts that Yuan Xi gave to everyone were roughly: a bottle of health pills, a diamond talisman, pen, ink, paper, inkstone or jewelry, and others were added according to the situation. For example, the second brother and the others added a Pure Heart Talisman, and Mrs. Song and others added Baihua Pills and Jade Face Cream.

"Fourth brother, I know your good intentions, and I will put them in my pocket next time." This coaxing tone showed Song Xuanwen's disapproval. He thought that Yuan Xi had obtained these talismans from some Taoist temple or Buddhist temple, and for the sake of his brother's goodwill, there was no harm in taking them with him.

Who doesn't have the peace charm that the elders asked for? You can also bring two more talismans that your brother asked for, and stuff them all into your purse.

Song Zhiyi, who knew how magical these talismans were, said seriously: "You must carry the talismans given by your second brother, third brother, and fourth brother with you. You are not allowed to take them off even if you take a bath."

Seeing his serious face, Song Xuanwen did not dare to act casually, and nodded honestly together with Song Yunzhi, promising to carry it with him.

"What's different about the talisman given by the fourth brother? The eldest brother is so serious about it." Song Xuanwen asked curiously, his eyes turning back and forth between Yuan Xi and Song Zhiyi.

Yuan Xi immediately looked at his eldest brother, and sure enough, the next second Song Xuanwen also focused all his attention on his eldest brother, and even the third child Song Yunzhi also looked at his eldest brother.

Song Zhiyi didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. His face was calm and he said, "Be obedient, this is what dad wants."

Magistrate Song suddenly felt a weight on his back for some reason.
