Blood Chronicles – Chapter 10: Phoenix

In the middle of the South River, there is a place where mountains and rivers are suitable and tender, called Phoenix City.

Folk drama says:

Nanjiang beauty out of the phoenix, light gauze pink feminine lady.

The heroes of the world are nostalgic and drunk, tender and sweet to send lovers.

A clear river runs through the city, flowing quietly and slowly from west to east. There are seven stone bridges on the river, connecting the citizens of the north and south banks. Among them, most of the places on the south bank are yarn-making workshops, and their yarn fabrics are sold well in China, and the famous nobles in various cities are highly sought after. And the north shore is really a blessed place for men in the world, and there are many beautiful people hidden in all kinds of flower buildings, which attract people who are admired by the world to bend their waists.

Although Phoenix City was the weakest city in the Sixteen Cities of nanjiang, no one dared to come to cause trouble. The Song clan that controls the city is even more revered by all factions in Nanjiang and various chambers of commerce. And the origin of all this is only because the Song clan has produced two beautiful women with complete talents, and now the eldest daughter and second daughter of the old city lord Song Bingnuo!

His eldest daughter married into the Liu family, and in October she was pregnant with Liu Qingyun and gave birth to her only son, Liu Mohan! Unfortunately, he died of heavy bleeding during childbirth!

Secondly, the daughter was married by Lin Zhan, and her whereabouts are unknown after living in Beiwu City for many years, and it is rumored that she was robbed by Lin Zhan's enemy family, and her life and death are unknown!

Although he lost two daughters, he gained two sons-in-law. One controls the business community, the other controls the martial forest, so where it is relied on, among the cities of the South River, who dares to attack!

However, today's Liu family has already existed in name only, and in the eyes of the eye, Song Bingnuo can only rely on the Lin family to let the Song family continue to survive. As for the grandson whose life and death were unknown, Song Bingnuo had never thought about it.

In recent days, the Song family's Shanshui Manor has been busy, and the family members have repeatedly cleaned it inside and out, and even the bluestone slabs under their feet have been polished.

On the stone hill of a small lake in the garden, there is an exquisite two-story small attic. Next to the window on the second floor stood one or two old men with white sideburns, eight feet tall, slender in stature, and although their appearance was slightly old, their handsome and resolute features all showed the dashing of their youth. This old man was Song Bingnuo, the old lord of Phoenix City, although he was too old to be old, but he still had a straight waist and a strong temperament.

At this time, Song Bingnuo was condescending, looking at the carp swimming in the blue lake water, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Suddenly, a woman dressed in light blue men's clothes appeared in the corridor by the small lake, Nian Fang was in her early twenties, with a graceful posture and a good face. Although it is not a beautiful woman, its fresh and elegant attire and pure and lovely smile make people glance at it and can't help but want to look at it again.

This woman is Song Bingnuo's young daughter, Song Jiaqi. There is also a brother who is wandering around, Song Jiahao. These two sons and daughters are the only children left by Song Bingnuo, but his son Song Jiahao is obsessed with swordsmanship and has no intention of engaging in family business, and after Song Bingnuo has repeatedly exerted pressure without results, he fled Phoenix in one breath and went to the East China Sea cruise, and once he left, he was four years old, although there were letters exchanged, but he did not go home. Therefore, the young girl who is only around is Song Bingnuo's heart meat, and she is pampered and pampered in every way.

Song Jiaqi crossed the corridor to the hill in the lake, and shouted softly to Song Bingnuo upstairs: "Old Song! It's time to eat..."

Song Bingnuo looked at his daughter downstairs, shook his head with a smile, sighed helplessly, and muttered: "The bigger it is, the more there are no rules!" Then obediently turned and went downstairs.

When Jia Qi saw her father go downstairs, she ran up and took Song Bingnuo's arm with both hands, dragged it hard, and asked angrily, "Old Song, what did you just mutter?!" ”

Song Bingnuo laughed loudly, looked at his daughter who was at the height of his shoulders, his eyes were full of love, and then replied: "I said, Kiki is really getting more and more beautiful!" ”

Jiaqi snorted and muttered, "Liar..."

After a few simple words, Song Jiaqi took old Song's arm, happily bypassed the small lake, and went straight to the Ruizhen Building in the courtyard.

During the meal, the father and daughter talked and laughed, and they were happy and harmonious. Just as Song Jiaqi was picking vegetables for her father, a well-dressed middle-aged housekeeper slowly walked to Song Bingnuo's side, leaned over and said a few words next to the master, and then smiled respectfully at Jiaqi, turned around and hurried away.

After the housekeeper left, Song Bingnuo's face showed a little joy, but his eyes did have a deep meaning. Song Jiaqi on the side saw the situation, did not ask, just muttered: "Day by day, all gods are mysterious and mysterious... The rice is not delicious either! ”

Song Bingnuo looked at her daughter sideways, and after happily eating a few mouthfuls of food, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Kiki, I have an important reception for my father tonight, so I can't accompany you to appreciate the lights..."

Song Jiaqi heard the words, snorted while eating vegetables, glanced at her father and said sullenly: "If you don't go, you don't have to listen to nagging..."

Seeing that her daughter did not make too much trouble, Song Bingnuo smiled and took out a few golden tickets from his arms, placed them in front of Song Jiaqi, and then stood up and leaned over and said: "Good daughter, go shopping, buy whatever you like..."

Looking at the golden ticket on the table, although Song Jiaqi was happy in her heart, her face was still sullen and unhappy, and she put down the bowl and chopsticks with a look of disgust and said casually: "I am full!" So he took the golden ticket and got up and left. When he went out, he did not forget to say to his father: "I will forgive you this time!" ”

Song Bingnuo looked at this eccentric daughter, and his face was filled with the kind smile of the old father. But when the housekeeper entered the house again, Song Bingnuo's face returned to the coldness and depth of the past, and then he said coldly to the housekeeper: "When you accompany Jiaqi to dinner, don't bother me in the end!" ”

The butler heard the words, bowed down and saluted, and respectfully replied: "The little man knows the mistake!" ”

Song Bingnuo looked at the scenery outside the door and asked, "Where are you?" ”

The butler replied, "Back to the old master, I have already passed the Fall Fengpo, and the time has come." ”

After hearing this, Song Bingnuo walked out of the door and walked toward another courtyard, followed by the old butler. After taking a few steps, Song Bingnuo said again: "Go and arrange it, Jiaqi will go out tonight and send more people!" ”

The old butler snorted, took the order and went to make arrangements.

It is said that Song Jiaqi carried the golden ticket, and happily returned to her own courtyard, and the six little girls were very happy to see the master, so they also happily surrounded them.

Although Song Jiaqi is a thousand golden ladies of the Song family, she does not have the kind of pampering and habitual temperament, but is very close to the people below, often playing in the courtyard together, and from time to time will help those who are in distress at home. Therefore, he is deeply loved by the people under the beard.

The servants entered the house happily with the master, and when the master sat down, the servants surrounded her, both serving tea and water, and rubbing their shoulders and legs. On the other hand, Song Jiaqi's face was full of enjoyment, and the corners of her mouth were also full of pleasant smiles.

After a moment, Song Jiaqi suddenly stood up, held her head high and said in a high voice: "It is quite hard to see a few people..." Then paused and said: "So Miss Ben decided... Take you out tonight to see the lanterns! ”

This was followed by a room full of happy cheers and thanks, and after the silence, Song Jiaqi said, "But... Everyone has to wear men's clothes like me! This was followed by a few crisp responses, without any hesitation.

These ladies who have been in the manor for a long time, even if they still care about men's and women's clothing, as long as they can accompany the young lady to play, they are also happy to dress up as Hanako!

After the happy decision, everyone is looking forward to the night coming soon...

……

As night approached, four black horses galloped through the quiet woods north of Phoenix, and the birds resting in the forest scattered in all directions! The leader wears a black cloak and merges with twilight in the gallop. The three people close behind them, although they were also wearing cloaks, the solid muscles on their bare arms all revealed the brutal strength they contained!

The four of them walked through the forest and sped away in the direction of the Shanshui Manor in Phoenix City...
