Chapter 44
When Song Yu got home, he saw a lot of carriages parked at the door as soon as Song Yu got out of the carriage, and the servants were busy unloading things from the carriages.
"Butler Song?"
"Oh, young master, you are back!" Butler Song is the old housekeeper of the Song family. He has stayed in the Song family for decades and watched the four brothers Song Yu grow up.Seeing Song Yu now, he stepped forward to salute excitedly: "This old slave pays homage to Fourth Young Master."
"What are you doing? Get up!" Song Yu helped the old housekeeper, also very excited: "Is my second brother here too, where are the others?"
"The second young master is inside, you go in quickly."
Song Yufei rushed into the house, and as soon as he ran outside the hall, he saw Song Yu's back, busy directing his servants to carry things.
"Second brother!" Song Yu came to the capital and looked forward to reuniting with his family every day. Now that he saw the second brother who was closest to him since childhood, he couldn't help but get wet.
"Young Yu!" Song Yu turned around to see Song Yu, stepped forward with a smile, reached out to touch the back of Song Yu's head and said, "Come on, let the second brother take a good look at you, um... you are tall, why do you feel thinner? , what's wrong with being here alone?"
"Why? I'm just a little taller, so I look thinner. Second brother, you have traveled hard all the way, let's go in and sit and chat!" Song Yu excitedly entered the room with Song Yu on his arm, and after sitting down, he dragged Song Yu to chirp Asked a bunch of questions.
"How is everything at home? How are your parents? How is your grandmother and grandfather? And..."
Song Yu smiled slightly, and answered one by one without haste: "All are well, all are well, my parents are very well, but I often miss you; the elders are also in good health; the family business is getting better and better in the hands of the elder brother. Well, look at how generous brother is now, this house is really nice!"
"Second brother, actually I also think this house is too big, just the two of us live in it, actually..."
"What's the big deal? Don't be afraid, big brother has plenty of money now, and he's about to catch up with his father-in-law, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people work hard to make money, and some people have to spend it. Let's spend money in a down-to-earth manner."
……
This dinner came with Song Yu, and Aunt Meng, the cook at home, made it. Song Yu had been out for so long, and it was the first time he tasted like home, so he couldn't help but eat more.
Seeing that he was still acting like a child, Song Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it because the cooks in Beijing are not good or Aunt Meng's cooking is too delicious? No matter how greedy you are, you should be more or less hungry. Eat so much, be careful not to overeat at night! "
"I haven't eaten the meal made by Aunt Meng for a long time, and I feel that today's meal is very delicious!" Song Yu replied embarrassedly: "Second brother, don't laugh at me."
"That's natural. The rice used for steaming rice today is the pearl rice specially brought from our Yangzhou." Aunt Meng brought a bowl of soup over and put it on the table, and said, "Silver fish soup is the fourth young master's favorite drink." Got it."
"Thank you Aunt Meng, I knew you were the best for me!" Song Yu saw the whitebait soup and couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl.
"Aunt Meng, you are partial, you only think about Yu, and you don't care what I like to eat?"
"Second young master is right. Didn't you cook it for you every day when you were at home? Young master hasn't eaten a good meal in half a year, and I don't like it. I love him! Besides, this sweet and sour pork ribs are not your favorite. what to eat?"
Aunt Meng has a bright personality, she is alone with no children, she really treats Song Yu and the others as if she were her own children.Now seeing Song Yu eating deliciously, rubbing his apron by the side, he smiled and looked satisfied.
Song Yu hadn't felt so at ease in a long time. The feeling of his relatives by his side made him feel warmer.Relying on Song Yu to talk for a long time, he went back to his room in the middle of the night, lay down on the bed and fell asleep contentedly.
The next day Song Yu returned home after finishing his official duties. Seeing Song Yu dressed formally, sitting in the hall waiting for him, he stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, are you going out for business?"
"I'm waiting for you to go out together." Song Yu took a sip of tea and explained: "Teacher Zhou's place, I have already brought the gift prepared by my grandfather to visit in the morning, and the greeting card sent to Qin's family is also I've already returned, and I'm waiting for you to visit me together."
"The Qin family? Second brother, are you going to the Qin family?"
"General Qin has helped you twice and three times. Since I have come to the capital, I should pay my respects! When I come, my elder brother has already prepared a generous gift. You go and change your clothes and let's go."
What Song Yu said was reasonable, and Song Yu was irrefutable, so he obediently went back to his room and changed his clothes.Before going out, he thought about it, and went back to take the koi he had painted before, and then went out and followed Song Yu into the carriage.
Song Yu usually looks at the loose personality and every shape, but in front of outsiders, he looks like a gentle and jade-like son.When they arrived at the Qin Mansion, the two paid a visit to the old matriarch, and they got a lot of compliments.
"Hahahahaha, if I have a chance, I'd like to meet your parents. I want to ask how they were born and how they were raised. Why are all the young masters so outstanding? It's very enviable!"
"Taijun's absurd praise, Zihua is just a grassroots person, how can he deserve such praise from the Taijun?" Song Yu saluted modestly, and said with a smile: "General Qin of your mansion is the pillar of the young heroic country, even if the grassroots are far away In a small place like Yangzhou, General Qin's prestige is like thunder!"
Song Yu has always been a talker, so he made the old lady happy.
Most of the gifts prepared by Brother Song were cloth and medicinal materials. Although they were precious, they were nothing to a family like the Qin family.Just the same thing, Song Yu has been holding it in his hand since he went out, and after the Qin family exchanged greetings, he solemnly stepped forward and handed it to him personally: "General Qin's kindness to the fourth brother's life-saving, the Song family can't repay it. It’s an ancient painting that my elder brother found recently, which is said to have disappeared long ago, and represents the little gratitude of the Song family, and please accept it!”
The legend has long been extinct, and this painting is extremely valuable, so the old lady Qin hurriedly declined: "If you can't do it, what Chengming has done is just his duty. How can you talk about kindness? You come to see me. Old woman, I am very happy, but I absolutely cannot accept such an expensive gift!"
"The old lady misunderstood. Although the Song family is a family of merchants, they also know that the Qin family has always been upright and upright! How could they use some worldly things to stain the Qin family? The preciousness of this painting does not lie in its The price, but its significance to the Qin family, is what the elder brother painstakingly found, and I hope the old lady likes it."
Mrs. Qin called someone to take the painting suspiciously, opened it, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was excited for a long time before she could speak, and three unexpected words came out of her mouth: "Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I will still be alive." If we can find this thing, even if we close our eyes, we will have the face to face our ancestors!"
