Three snatches Tanhualang

Chapter 48 Distress

When Song Yu asked this, Song Yu just put a mouthful of porridge into his mouth and swallowed it. He almost didn't choke, and said calmly, "Second brother is worrying too much, it's just that the chilling cicadas in the yard were screaming so badly last night. That's why I didn't sleep well "Really?Then I will ask Butler Song to send someone to deal with it today, so as not to disturb my brother's dream every day. "Song Yu took a steamed bun made by Aunt Meng and gave it to Song Yu, and stopped asking, and started to eat on his own.

Song Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, always felt that he had done something bad, and worried from time to time that his second brother would catch him.

After breakfast, Song Yu went to the Imperial Academy. At first, he thought that if he met Li Mu, he would explain to him what happened yesterday, but when he arrived at the Imperial Academy, he learned that Li Mu had asked for leave today. The wind and cold seem to be quite serious.

Song Yu thought about it, Li Mu usually took good care of him, but yesterday he was so embarrassed in front of his friends, since he was sick, he should visit him and explain to him what happened yesterday.

Having made up his mind, Song Yu asked his colleagues where Li Mu's family lived in the afternoon, and left the Imperial Academy early, asked Xiao Liu'er to buy some gifts, and the two went to Li's residence.

Li Mu's family is a scholarly family, a family with high officials in the ancestors, but it is a pity that it has declined. In Li Mu's father's generation, Master Li studied diligently and vowed to honor his ancestors, but he passed the imperial examination at a young age. Before he could make a big plan, he died of a serious illness, leaving Mrs. Li alone with Li Mu, who was in his teens.

Mrs. Li grew up studying female taming since she was a child. After Master Li left, she devoted herself to raising Li Mu.Li Mu was quite up-to-date, he became a Jinshi at the age of 25, and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a classic book, but within three years he was promoted to a sixth-rank minister.

Seeing that her son was so promising, Li's mother felt that she had a good face and was worthy of the Li family's ancestors, so she began to show up slowly, and often walked around with some officials and wives.However, Li's mother is rigid and serious, and not many people like her. Everyone is very optimistic about Li Mu, who is gentle, courteous and progressive, and there are also enthusiastic ones who want to protect Li Mu as a matchmaker.

Helplessly, Li's mother was high-minded and high-minded, girls from ordinary aristocratic families looked down on her, and how could someone from a high family marry into such a down-and-out family, so Li Mu's marriage was delayed until now.Fortunately, Li Mu himself was not in a hurry. He knelt down in front of his ancestors and swore to Li's mother that a man should first establish a career before starting a family.

Li's mother is even more pleased to see her son so ambitious. It doesn't matter if you don't marry those shallow-sighted girls, do you want any kind of marriage when my son is promising in the future?

Song Yu asked people all the way, and finally found Li Mu's house.Although Li's mansion is a wealthy family, the house has been in disrepair all year round, and it looks a bit dilapidated.

Xiao Liuer stepped forward to knock on the door, and the person who opened the door was a thin old man. Song Yu went up and explained the purpose of his visit. The old man heard that Li Mu's colleagues came to see him, and asked Song Yu's master and servant to wait at the door, then closed the door and turned around to report. .

After waiting for a while, no one came out to reply, Xiao Liu'er complained: "Master, their family is too rude, why did they make us stand outside the door and wait for so long?"

"Not much to say, we are here to visit a sick person today, he is the host, we are the guests, and we are free to follow their rules."

As soon as Song Yu finished speaking, the door opened, and the old man just bent over and said to Song Yu: "My young master invites Mr. Song in, Mr. Please come with me!"

"Thank you old man."

Song Yu walked along with the old man. When passing the garden, although the layout of the garden is good, the vegetation in the garden grows a bit randomly, the roadside is overgrown with weeds, and even the fallen leaves on the stone path have not been cleaned. It looks a bit random at first glance. .

The old man led Song to the main hall and retreated. Song Yu and Xiao Liu'er stood in the middle of the hall and waited. After a while, an old lady who looked about sixty came out from the inner room.

"I heard from the housekeeper that Mu'er's colleagues came to see him. The young master has a heart. I thank you in advance." Although the old lady's words were polite, her expression was very serious, her eyes were even a little arrogant, and she straightened her back. Raising his head, he glanced at Xiao Liu'er and then looked directly at Song Yu.

Song Yu was not sure if this was Li Mu's grandmother, and the age seemed to be a bit wrong, so he had to go forward and salute first: "Meet the old lady, the younger generation heard that Li Shi said that he had a sudden cold, and he was worried, so he came to visit. I hope it doesn't disturb you."

"How come? My son can win the hearts of his colleagues and prove that he is very popular. I am too happy. Please come with me, my son." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, turned around and led the way.

Only then did Song Yu realize that it was Li Mu's mother.I heard that Li Mu was brought up by his widowed mother alone, so Mrs. Li must have endured a lot of hardships in order to bring up Li Mu, so that she was born prematurely, what a pity for the parents of the world.

Following Mother Li to Li Mu's room, Li Mu looked up and was very happy to see Song Yu. He didn't expect Song Yu to come to see him specially. When the old housekeeper came to report, he was so excited that his headache improved a lot.

In fact, Song Yu didn't have much to say to Li Mu, and now that Li Mu's complexion was not good, he thought that he should find an opportunity to explain the matter another day, so he just sat by the bed and asked about Li Mu's health.

After a while, Mother Li knocked on the door again and came in: "Mu'er, it's time to drink the medicine."

Since Li's mother came in with a bowl of medicine, she still said to Song Yu with a serious expression: "Mr. Song, I'm sorry, Mu'er is not in good spirits and needs to rest quietly. Today, thank you for coming to visit him."

Song Yuzheng sat with nothing to say, and was very embarrassed. Hearing this, he got up and left.

After the two of them left, Li's mother said with a straight face: "Mu'er, how many times have I told you that this kind of businessman comes from a family, so don't deal with them! We are a scholarly family, and we have to deal with such a small family. Dealing with each other, you don't have to humiliate your family status!"

Li Mu was a little disappointed that Song Yu left so soon, but now that his mother started nagging about those things again, he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Mu was frowning, Mother Li quickly changed her tone to a gentle one, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, but it still hurts? Hurry up and drink the medicine while it's hot."

After leaving Li's residence, Song Yu didn't have any ideas, and had other entanglements in his mind.It was Xiao Liuer who complained a lot in front of Sun Hu when she got home.

"Brother Sun Hu, you don't know, that Mrs. Li's eyes are going to grow to the sky, and she doesn't even look at us. She is also very rude to our young master. After going in for such a long time, I don't even serve tea. , After sitting for a while, I kicked him out! When has the young master been treated like this? I'm so mad!"

Seeing Xiao Liu'er's cheeks bulging with anger, Sun Hu suddenly felt his mind wandering, so he had to deal with Xiao Liu'er casually.

Before Song Yu came back at dinner time, Song Yu ate alone, didn't even read the book, went back to the room early and fell asleep.

As for the Second Young Master Song, he naturally refused to stay at home obediently, and was currently discussing piano skills in Miss Muyan's room in Qingfeng Building.If this scene was seen by the princes, grandsons, nobles, celebrities and rich gentry in the capital, would it be okay?How many people spend a lot of money just to have a cup of tea with Miss Muyan, but this little boy who came out of nowhere has entered Miss Muyan's boudoir?

Song Yu was chatting and laughing with Miss Mu Yan, coaxing the beauty into trembling, when suddenly the door of the room was pushed open, a man in brocade clothes broke in, quickly closed the door and put the bolt on, and quickly walked to the second room. in front of people.

Song Yu was about to speak when suddenly his neck felt cold, and a sharp dagger was pressed against his throat.

"Stop talking nonsense, do as I say, or I won't have eyes with this dagger!" The man threatened them fiercely.
