The workers had long since taken their leave, and in the workshop, apart from Master Chu, Song Yi to Song XII and others, there were only the guards of the Ding Guo Mansion left.
When they heard a commotion at the gate, a few guards came out alertly and saw that it was Song Wan Yue and Song Shen, they hurriedly came out to greet them and suddenly saw that they were followed by their own brothers, they immediately stared at them, “Why did you follow them here too?”
Of the guards from the Ding Guo Mansion, Song Wan Yue had left six behind and ten followed her to Qing Yun County, all of whom had now also stayed here to recuperate from their wounds, with ten more behind her.
The guards behind her returned, “We are escorting Miss Sun and the aunt back.”
“It’s just as well that you make company and return together when the New Year is over.”
Song Wangyue said as she walked inside, and after she finished asking, “Where are Song Yi and the others?”
“They were taken by Master Wei to the mountains to practice martial arts.”
Song Wan Yue walked towards the mountain, saying as she did so, “You guys help pack a room out, it’s at ……”
Originally thinking of arranging it next to the master, she changed her mind halfway through the sentence, “The further away from everyone the better, just clean up the room and light the charcoal pots.”
An escort answered.
Song Shen followed Song Wan Yue up the hill.
Before they reached the top of the hill, they heard the sound of fighting. When they got to the top of the hill, they saw that everyone was separated by two and two, each fighting.
Master Wei was standing to one side, holding his sword, when he heard the footsteps, he took one look at them, then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the fighting crowd.
Song Wan Yue walked over, “Master.”
Master Wei nodded slightly and didn’t respond to her.
Song Wangyue also didn’t say anything more and stood beside her to watch together.
In addition to Song Yi to Song XII, Master Wei bought thirty more people back, making a total of forty-two people in black.
But in a moment, someone was knocked to the ground, and the rest laughed.
It was Song San.
“He has good qualifications, he’s a good martial arts practitioner, he’s just a bit older.”
Twelve or thirteen years old, still a child to an ordinary person, but a little on the older side for a martial arts practitioner.
One by one, people were being knocked to the ground, and the winner was full of triumph.
“After the New Year when the ice melts I want to make a trip to Jiangnan, can Master pick out someone to protect us.”
Master Wei glanced at her, did not speak, only a slight frown, these talents trained for more than three months, the hands are still far from being able to do a general guardhouse can, if the protection of people …….
It seems that she will have to intensify her training during the New Year.
In the end twenty-one people won and their eyes burned at Master Wei.
Master Wei lifted his chin and the men walked towards a nearby place where a box was kept, grabbed a slip of paper out of it one by one, paired them up again in pairs and competed again, leaving one lucky man, full of dejection, watching from the side.
This was repeated several times, and eventually there were three left, standing woefully shaken, but with burning eyes looking at Master Wei.
Master Wei threw them a money bag, “Give you three days off, I want to see you in the early hours of the first three days.”
The three answered loudly and ran down the hill amidst the envious gazes of the rest.
This was their reward, fifty taels of silver for one person and a three-day holiday.
The rest of them went down the mountain one after another with their heads hanging, Song Shen followed them down, Song Wan Yue and Master Wei walked last, and when they had put some distance between them, Song Wan Yue said, “My third uncle and Qi Ying will come over later.”
Master Wei looked at her.
She naturally knew who Qi Ying was, but Xiao’er had explained when she left, so she didn’t do anything to Qi Ying, and Song Wan Yue should have guessed a thing or two, so how could she arrange for someone to come to the workshop?
Song Wan Yue told her about Qi Ying’s miscarriage and being brought back, and finally said, “There is no place to live at home, so grandma said to let them come and live here, so I agreed.
Hearing her say so, Master Wei withdrew his eyes, “It’s good that you know what’s going on in your heart.”
The two of them returned to the workshop and saw a horse-drawn carriage coming from afar. Song Wangyue stopped where she was and waited for the carriage to approach, calling out to the guards to come and lead the carriage over, while she slowly followed behind.
When she passed, Song San Xiao had just finished laying out the bedding and came out of the house. When she saw Song Wan Yue, her footsteps subconsciously stopped and her eyes dodged, not daring to meet her eyes.
After Song Wangyue had said those words to him that day, he did not dare to ask his mother to bring Qi Ying into her home to take care of her, but when she mentioned it later, he did not object. He was afraid that he might not be able to take care of Qi Ying and never have a child again.
“Third Uncle.”
Song San Xiao’s body trembled and he spoke with trepidation, “Yue, Yue’er.”
“Is the house still okay?”
“Yes, yes.”
Song Sanxiao replied in a panic, walking quickly to the carriage to carry Qi Ying, who was wrapped up tightly, down and into the house,
Song Wangyue followed her inside, but the house was warm and clean, with charcoal pots lit, but there was nothing inside, and it looked empty.
“The house is empty, but there is nothing inside. “Today is New Year’s Eve, so there is no time to buy things.
“That’s good enough. ”
Qi Ying leaned her back against the wall, and Song San Xiao stuffed a pillow behind her to cushion her, her eyes lost their former sparkle and looked lifeless.
Song Wan Yue, however, did not console her and said to Song San Xiao, “I’ll go to the village chief and ask him to find someone to cook for you, fortunately it’s New Year.”
The Song family village was not close to the workshop, so if the rice was cooked and sent over, it would be cold, and the cooks hired by the workshop were so-so.
Song San Xiao took out ten taels of silver and handed it to her.
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows.
Song Sanxiao didn’t dare to meet her eyes, “Please, I’ll pay for the hire.”
“Is this Third Uncle getting rich, or is he trying to punch the family in the face?”
Song Sanxiao waved his hands in panic, he used to be closest to this niece, but ever since he insisted on breaking off relations with his family to be with Qi Ying, he couldn’t help but start fearing Song Wangyue, he couldn’t say why.
“I, I, I, I ……”
I also half a day, but did not say anything.
Qiying’s lips quirked and his voice was weak, “This is what we should take.”
“Is that so?”
Song Wangyue looked at her with a smile, her tone sharp, “Since you have done your calculations so clearly, you should also know that it is untimely for Grandma to take you back, so why don’t you refuse? With silver you can find someone to take care of you in the county too.”
Qi Ying pursed her lips.
Song San Xiao subconsciously stepped in front of her, “Yue’er, it’s, it’s me ……”
Having said these few words, meeting Song Wan Yue’s gaze, the words that followed stayed in his throat.
Song Wangyue gave them a deep look, turned her head and walked out, “Rest well, I’ll go get someone to come.”
