Chengdu Mansion, May, the time of flowers.

Large families often plant flowers for elegance, so when they come to Chengdu at this time, they only pass through the most prosperous streets. The aroma is even more refreshing.

"Shu Zhi" once recorded the grand occasion at that time, cloud: "Chengdu is a mansion, everyone loves flowers, thinks it is elegant, the sergeant cherishes it, the corporal admires it, and the pawn is profitable." ”

At this time, there are countless celebrities and visitors here.

In the city, there are endless streams of cars, horses and pedestrians, and the shops are walking and prosperous.

Not to mention, there are many young men and women in those beautiful lakesides.

At this time, the folk customs were far less conservative than those of later generations, at least young women could also show their heads.

Teenagers from large families, and even fewer people who don't know the style, can be seen on all major painting boats.

Qingping Lake, in this Chengdu Mansion three lakes and one park, the name is the most prosperous, the beauty of its scenery, is one, and the other is therefore the lake is located in the north of Fucheng.

There are many sergeants living in Beicheng, not ordinary men and women.

Even among the women who play by boat, there are also many daughters of large families, official ladies, and literary style, and lowly Qinglou girls often dare not come here.

Looking for flowers and asking willows, going to the south city, talking about poetry and songs, asking for the words of the talented and beautiful woman, come to the north city more.

This is a resonance among the children of large families in Chengdu Prefecture.

On May 16, there was rain.

The rain was not heavy, only dripping. But all celebrities and demented women like this kind of drizzle.

Whether it is pretending to be elegant or really liking, this breeze, drizzle, bright lake, beauty, and young man in gorgeous costumes are destined to be a realm pursued by young men and women.

"The drizzle is moist, the small lake is swaying, the wind is cool and the water is clear...... It's a good time to go out and play, but it's a pity that You'er doesn't like this tune, tsk, it's really nerve-wracking. ”

On the shore of the small lake, there is a high-rise building, three floors high, in this place, it is rare, and this building, is just an extension of a large house, this house covers a wide area, in the north city of Chengdu Mansion where every inch of land is valuable, it is really a symbol of identity and financial resources.

Standing on the highest floor of this high-rise building, looking into the distance, you can see the panoramic view of the northern city. Standing on the second floor and looking at the lake in front of you, you will see the beauty.

At this time, there is a jade table placed by the window on the second floor, with a few side dishes and a glass of wine, and the two of them sit opposite each other, chatting about the scenery.

This window on the second floor is huge, and when viewed from the inside out, the scenery is bright, and it is a rare place to view.

The two of them who were chatting looked to be in their early thirties, but because of the sergeant's good maintenance skills, their actual age may be older.

One person has a white face and a long beard, and the other has a yellow face and a short beard, all of them are dressed casually, but any ornament on their bodies is enough for ordinary people to chew their heads for a year.

It was the white-faced and long-bearded man who spoke, and the Yu'er in his mouth was his daughter, although it was a sigh, but there was a lot of pride in his tone.

"Big brother, what you said is not right. The yellow-faced man on the opposite side chuckled and said, "The children of my Song family are all full of poetry and books, and their knowledge is extraordinary, and You'er is even more able to understand the general situation, how can they be compared to those demented women?"

The demented literary woman, who mostly refers to the envy of the talented and beautiful woman, and the daughter of the big family who met before the moon before the flower, said it from his mouth, and there was more contempt.

"Alas, having said that, the more I am like this, the more ashamed I am of You'er. The white-faced man with a long beard sighed.

The person opposite was his second brother-in-law, and he knew what was on his mind.

Thinking that they are a huge Song family, there is only one young lady in this generation, and it is related to the interests of the family.

If it were other concubines, they wouldn't have to pay attention to it, or if this girl was an ordinary woman, they wouldn't be so guilty.

But this woman, since she was a child, has been knowledgeable and extremely filial, and the family marriage has long been known, and she does not object, although she has that extremely beautiful appearance and moving talent, but she acts in a low-key manner, in order to avoid causing trouble, so as not to disrupt the family marriage plan.

There is a woman like this, which really makes the two brothers of the Song family proud, and sighs.

The Song family brothers, the elder Song Han, and the second brother Song Heng are all well-known figures in Chengdu Mansion, and the Song family has a wide branch, and has gone through several dynasties, whether it is in the court or in the field, they all have connections.

There are many talents in Shudi, if there are ten talents, Chengdu Mansion accounts for four, and the Song family accounts for one of them, and its power is so great that it cannot be underestimated.

It's a pity that in this generation of the Song family, the people are withered, and the side branches are still prosperous, but this main family has a tendency to decline.

There are only a few people in this generation, although it will not break the inheritance of incense, or it is not weaker than other major clans, but compared with the past, it has indeed gone downhill.

In terms of talent and knowledge, these people are also good, after all, in terms of luck and courage, they can only be regarded as ordinary.

The best of the clan is a daughter.

Song Han, as the head of a family, is often worried about this.

After all, the Song family has a wide range of branches, and at the same time there are many hostile forces, if there is really a day when the family is defeated, it is inevitable that people will not take advantage of the opportunity.

This is like sailing on the sea, not thinking about moving forward, although it seems to be stable, but there will be a moment when the top is overturned.

Song Heng, who is Song Han's second brother, also understands this.

"Alas, as a child of the Song family, you need to take responsibility, and it is indeed a bitter You'er. However, ordinary children will never be able to match her, and when the time comes, choose a good son-in-law for her. Song Heng smiled bitterly and said.

In his words, there may not be no reminder.

Song Han felt a pang in his heart, knowing that he was a little too childlike, this children's marriage, in the big family, is the weight of interests, as the head of a family, how can he be too indulged in this?

Then he nodded and said, "What the second brother said is very true. ”

The two lost their interest in chatting for a while, and lowered their heads and drank sullen wine.

Because the window was open, the sound of music outside could be faintly heard.

Song Heng turned his face to look out, and after a while, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that there is no one worthy of You'er in this Chengdu Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Song Han also looked at the lake, only to see the large and small boats on the lake, leisurely and swinging, on the boat, or a young man in Lihua, or a handsome man, all of them are a talent, but these can only fool some ordinary people, in the eyes of the people of the big family, but it is just a gorgeous appearance.

The big family is very profitable, and this profit, how can it be advisable to have just a few articles?

Now that the imperial court is declining and the princes are frantically annexing, Chengdu seems to be a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, singing and dancing everywhere, but in fact, there are crises.

Even if he occupies Chengdu and has Wei Cundong, the marshal of the three counties, he is the strongest person in the towns of Shu now, but he is also walking on thin ice, of course, if this momentum continues, and then he occupies the second town, it will be out of control.

But Wei Cundong is also in his fifties and old.

At this time, the warrior is more refined than the scribe, and when the sword is on the neck, a few poems can solve the problem and cause the enemy to abandon the armor and retreat?

snorted coldly, Song Han really didn't look down on these future generations, and he thought deeply of the words of the second brother.

His heart suddenly moved, Song Han remembered something, and said: "Second brother, some time ago, Wang Zunzhi's third brother Wang Yan came to visit me, unfortunately, you and I were not in this city, they pounced and returned, do you think, at this time, Wang Zunzhi's third brother came, what will be the reason?"

"Although my Song family is based on Shu several dynasties undefeated, but the focus is on civil and commercial affairs, in this troubled times, after all, it is not as good as before, although the connections are still there, will not be driven by others, but it is also full of dangers, this Wang Zunzhi's third brother came to look for you, I am afraid, there is some deep meaning. Song Heng pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Or ......" Thinking of the rumors about the Marshal Mansion of Wenyang Mansion during this period of time, Song Han's face changed a few times.

"Wang Zunzhi originally had three sons, but unfortunately two sons died young, and the eldest son died unexpectedly some time ago, and there was no heir in this house. I heard that Wang Zunzhi plans to choose one person from the clan to inherit the handsome position, and three people have been selected, although it is not clear who the heir is, but the two are unknown, and one person declares that he is rising, who is this choice, everyone has long known in their hearts. Some time ago, Liu Siming passed away, and there was already an undercurrent in Shudi, and there were some changes in the situation, this Wang Zunzhi and that Liu Siming are both heroes, but the heroes are late, and it has been a matter of the past few years, and the matter of this heir is just imminent. The fox is old, and he is a fox after all, how can he not know how Wang Zunzhi's body is? I'm afraid, this is paving the way for ......the heir" Song Heng pointed out the current situation in Shu.

Song Han nodded and agreed with the second brother's comment.

"At this time, Wang Yan came, I was afraid that it had something to do with this matter. ”

Song Heng said directly: "Perhaps, this Wang Yan is here for You'er." ”

"Alas, this is a difficult thing to do. In fact, as early as when he received the news, Song Han was not completely unpremonitive.

Now the second brother thinks the same way, which makes him a little embarrassed.

Wang Zunzhi's heir, this status, is also worthy of his daughter.

But now the situation is undecided, what is this person, he is a little uncertain, he only has this concubine in his own family, if he really marries with that descendant, the Song family will inevitably be tied to the warship, and he will never be able to go down again.

Now that the troubled times are coming, it is about the survival of a family, and he must think about it.

Seeing that the eldest brother was pondering, Song Heng did not speak.

After a while, Song Han said: "It's okay to do this, but you have to collect some news about this son, and after careful consideration, you can make a plan." ”

"Actually, eldest brother, this matter is just a guess for you and me, whether Wang Zunzhi has this meaning or not, not necessarily, make some arrangements early, just to avoid panic. Seeing the eldest brother's solemn face, Song Heng hurriedly said.

"Hehe, what I said is very true, come, drink. Suppressing the worry in his heart for the time being, Song Han smiled and raised his glass to say.

"Yes, drink. Song Heng raised his glass and drank it all.

After waiting out of this Wanghu Tower, Song Heng got into the carriage, but did not return home directly, but ordered the carriage to go straight to the south.

The carriage he was riding in was just ordinary, so it was not noticeable when he traveled on Nancheng Road.

In front of an ordinary alley, the carriage stopped.

Song Heng stepped out of the carriage and entered a house under the escort of one person.

Although the outside of the house is ordinary, the interior of this house is very elegantly furnished.

Under a few flower trees, there was a person standing early, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, this person turned around and hugged his fist towards Song Heng with a smile.

Then, he asked, "Brother Song, can things take a turn for the better?"
