Chapter 1948

Only half an hour later, Song Yuanjiu came back with a bunch of things.

As he stepped through the threshold, he smiled and said, "The princess has punished me by making me write ten thousand words a day in exchange for one day's hard labor."

To him, this was not a punishment, but a reward.

Mrs. Song's tense shoulders finally relaxed.

The two sons smiled and took the big bag from their father, which contained brushes, inkstones, rice paper, books, and even ancient books.

The Song Shenzhi brothers were immediately attracted by the ancient books and picked them up to read them.

Song Yuanjiu added, "The princess also asked me to teach the young marquis every day, and I get one ounce of silver per month."

With his knowledge, he was worth more than one tael. But he was a criminal, so the one tael he had was a gift from the princess.

He was very grateful, and Madam Song also clasped her hands together, "Buddha, may the princess and the young marquis and princesses be healthy and safe."

Song Yuanjiu said to his two sons who were only busy reading, "From tomorrow on, Shenzhi will follow Master Qiu to do some odd jobs, and Xizhi will go to the school to serve."

Song Shenzhi looked up in surprise, "Does this count as military service?"

Isn't military service just moving rocks and mining? Working with Mr. Qiu is like a step to heaven.

Song Yuanjiu nodded, "Only if you have a sharp eye and strong hands can you live up to the princess's good intentions. You must also be able to withstand the cold stares and provocations of others. The princess's move will definitely attract objections from those with ulterior motives. We can't discredit the princess, understand?"

Both sons nodded in agreement.

Song Yuanjiu was very relieved to see the whole family gathered in front of him. He also remembered that his mother was originally healthy and had a voice like a bell, especially when she scolded people, she was full of energy and twisted people's ears.

If I were still here... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live like this, with curses all the time.

Song Yuanjiu felt inexplicably guilty, and actually felt that his mother seemed to have left at the right time. Especially when he saw his wife's peaceful smile, he remembered that his mother had been trying to find him a concubine every few days, and had forced his wife to persuade him.

If he had not been so strong and persistent, there would have been a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters in this house, and the lady would have been nowhere to be seen.

His wife suggested several times that she wanted to return to her hometown to live alone... Song Yuanjiu's thoughts were in turmoil, and he gradually developed the illusion that "life is getting better and better."

The family gathered together for a reunion dinner. The food was delicious, although there were not many varieties, but the quantity was sufficient and the taste was good.

The princess also gave an extra pot of tea. Tea was expensive, and ordinary people could not afford it.

For the Song family, tea is no longer just tea. It is the hope of life and the confidence to start over.

Mrs. Song drank her tea with tears in her eyes.

When she went to bed with her husband at night, she held his hand, "It was like a dream."

"Han'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer." Song Yuanjiu said, "I once promised you a life of luxury, but in the end..."

"It's not bitter." Mrs. Song interrupted her husband, "I've been the one who made my husband tired all my life."

"You don't have to say these words. We are husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace." He paused, and then reminded her tenderly, "There is only one thing you have to remember."

"Husband, tell me."

"From now on, be nicer to Shenzhi. He did nothing wrong... He is my, Song Yuanjiu's, biological son, and he will always be."

Song Shenzhi outside the door paused, his hands and feet were cold.
