Chapter 410 Thick hostility

   "Father, where is Lixian? Why didn't you see Lixian?" Song Yi'an took the initiative to ask about his second brother.

   "He is working hard in his own yard. He said he wants to study hard and take the provincial exam. He hasn't been out of the yard for several days, but he is diligent." Speaking of the second son, Patriarch Song couldn't help smiling.

  Young people, it’s not a bad thing to experience some setbacks. After what happened last time, Li Xian became much calmer and improved. With his enthusiasm for studying, why worry about not winning the exam?

  Study behind closed doors? It's a guilty conscience!

Song Yi'an curled his lips again, feeling extremely ironic, "Father, the uncle of the Ma family not only plotted against the Zhang family, but also plotted against our Song family. He sent news to the Zhang family, and he also sent news to our family." news."

"He's looking for you?" Patriarch Song's expression turned serious, "When did it happen? Why didn't you come back and tell me about it? I mean about the Ma family looking for you, does anyone else know? "

  Song Yi'an stared straight at his father, shaking his head slowly, "No, the Ma family didn't find me."

"I didn't look for me either. You made a mistake in this matter. After all, Zhang's family has an inspector, and he is in charge of No. 100 people. It is understandable for Ma's family to drag his family into the water. What does our family have? They are all weak-handed scholars, and he looks down on our family.” The head of the Song family is very self-aware, and the reason why the Song family can be called the “Four Great Masters” together with the Ma, Yan, and Zhang families is because the family comes from I became a master of Juren. In terms of strength, the Song family is the weakest of the four.

   "I'm not mistaken, the person the Ma family sought was not you, not me, but the second brother."

   Patriarch Song's expression froze on his face, and he waved his hands immediately, "This is impossible, your second brother is studying behind closed doors, and has no contact with people outside at all."

   "When did the second brother start studying behind closed doors? The day after the pirates entered the city?" Song Yi'an's eyes were full of ridicule.

   "This..." Patriarch Song really didn't know when the second son started studying behind closed doors, so he couldn't help but look at the boy at the door, "When did the second master start working hard?"

  When gods fight, mortals suffer. The young man wished he could disappear in place, facing the master's unkind gaze, he answered bravely, "Go back to the master, on the day the master said."

   "Are you sure?" Patriarch Song didn't believe it.

   The boy plopped and knelt on the ground, "Slave, slave..." Should he say yes or not?

Song Yi'an smiled silently, "Father, don't embarrass the slaves. If you want to know if it's right, just ask the second brother? Tell him, don't try to lie, the Ma family, even the master and the slaves have a lot of things. They are all being held in the county government prison, and he doesn't want to confront anyone, does he?"

"No, Yi'an, your second brother, there must be a misunderstanding here, he is young, he doesn't know the seriousness..." Patriarch Song recalled the behavior of the second son these days, and knew in his heart that what the eldest son said was probably true, But he still couldn't help but argue for him.

   "He's weak, he's not young anymore!" Song Yi'an suddenly raised his voice, "Father, you always say that the second brother is smart, can he not understand the priorities of things? He knows! He knows everything! He just..."

  Song Yian closed his eyes, he didn't want to think so badly of his own brother, but human nature is complicated.

   "Yi'an..." Seeing the distressed appearance of the eldest son, Patriarch Song opened his mouth, but did not say a word of comfort for a long time.

  Although the eldest son is not very good at reading, he is not as good as the second son. Apart from that, he has always been very worry-free. Whether it is taking care of the family property or dealing with the tribe, he has done a good job. He had never seen him like this!

  Song Yi'an opened his eyes, his emotions had completely subsided, "Father, you can help your son to ask the second brother, does he hate his own brother so much?"

  After saying this, he turned around and walked out. If he stayed any longer, he didn't know what ugly words he would say.

   "Yi'an..." Looking at his son's back as he walked farther and farther away, Patriarch Song's outstretched hand fell down, "Sin, what a **** mess!"

  He has only two legitimate sons in total. How did the two brothers come to this point?

  Patriarch Song remembered what the eldest son said, and his face sank, "Go, see what the second master is doing? Call me that evil person."

   "The slave obeys orders." The young servant was about to call for someone, but was stopped by Patriarch Song, "Forget it, I'll go by myself." For some reason, doubts suddenly arose in his heart, is Lixian studying hard?

  Song Lixian is really reading, but this book is not the other book. He didn't read a single page of the Four Books and Five Classics, but read the eclectic words. The scholar went all the way to the imperial examination gold list, fell in love with several beautiful women at first sight, and fell in love for a lifetime, just like the kind of male protagonist who takes the harem.

  However, Patriarch Song did not find out. why? Song Lixian received the news in advance.

  As soon as Patriarch Song entered the courtyard, he pretended to be a servant sweeping the floor and recited the "Three Character Classic" aloud, "Where people are, their nature is good, their natures are similar, and their habits are far away..."

  Song Lixian in the study heard it, and immediately changed the book, pretending to be studying hard. This person is indeed smart, but he uses it in crooked ways.

   Patriarch Song is very satisfied. A boy doing chores in Lixian's courtyard can read articles, which shows that Lixian taught well. He was even more relieved when he saw his second son sitting on the desk writing hard, and half of the anger before he came was gone.

   "Lixian, how are you working hard? Dad won't bother you, right?" Patriarch Song had a smile on his face.

   "Is it dad, are you here? Are you busy?" Song Lixian seemed to see his dad just now.

  Patriarch Song looked at him with a sad expression, "Lixian, you are so confused! Why did you get involved with the Ma family? At least you should tell Dad."

  Dad knows? Song Lixian's eyes were flustered, and he pretended to be calm, "Father, what are you talking about? Why did you get involved with the Ma family? Why can't I understand?"

  Patriarch Song's heart fell to the bottom, and he was heartbroken, "Father knows about the fact that the Ma family approached you. Lixian, why didn't you tell father about such a big matter? Then what good intentions can the Ma family have?"

   "Father, I..." Song Lixian panicked even more.

"You said you, you knew in advance that the pirates would enter the city, even if you didn't tell dad, at least tell your elder brother, he is in the yamen, that is your eldest brother, Lixian, you... how did you become like this? ?” Patriarch Song roared in a low voice.

"Father, I didn't. I didn't do it on purpose." Song Lixian argued anxiously, "I didn't take the information leaked by the Ma family seriously at first. It was the county government. How dare the pirates? Later, the pirates really entered the city , Dad, I'm afraid, so I dare not say anything. Dad, I didn't mean to harm my elder brother. He is my own elder brother. How could I harm him? Dad, what I say is the truth, you have to believe me. "He grabbed his father's arm, extremely anxious.

   "Really?" Patriarch Song stared into his eyes.

  Song Lixian nodded again and again, with a sincere expression, "It's true! I swear, if there is even half a lie, call me..."

   Halfway through swearing, his father covered his mouth and said angrily, "You child, can you swear casually?"

  Song Lixian could hear the looseness in his tone, "Father, do you believe me?"

  Patriarch Song hummed, "Although you didn't do it on purpose, you have to explain this to your brother yourself. You are brothers, and you should support and help each other, you know?"

  Song Lixian nodded obediently, "Don't worry, I will apologize to my eldest brother."

  Patriarch Song believed the second son's words. In his heart, how could a clever son who can read be a vicious person?

   "Since the matter is clear, then you can continue reading, and Dad will not bother you."

  As soon as Patriarch Song left, Song Lixian's straight back relaxed. Why was he anxious and anxious? There was only strong hostility in his eyes.

  But Patriarch Song suddenly remembered that he had something to do with looking for the eldest son, and he forgot to tell him just now. He glanced at the eldest son's yard, hesitated for a while, and decided to forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

   Thank you for sending Hehe monthly tickets, I love you!
