...

At noon, Song Yanran, Tuoba Yue and Xia Miaoyin had a lot of fun in the street market. After three of them had lunch at a newly opened restaurant in the street market, they brought two "free" sled puppies and a large number of newly purchased goods to the Military Governor's Office.

There are many single women entering and leaving the market in Yong'an. This is the case under Liu Ce's rule. In other places in the Dazhou, these women who were shopping in the market would have been criticized for being unfaithful. After all, in this era, women generally cannot show up in public, which is contrary to the tradition.

However, the Military Governor's Office encouraged the people to go out to the streets to experience the changes in the city, and some places even allowed women to go in and consume. This move was advocated by Qin Mo, and for this reason, Qin Mo was secretly scolded by Confucian scholars for being completely useless.

Unfortunately, Qin Mo not only did not have any "constraint", but even drafted documents ahead of time, intending to appoint female officials in some unimportant places. This really made those Confucian scholars who read the Four Books and Five Classics unacceptable. They said that this move, "As soon as this example is opened, it will be punished by heaven", "Yin is strong and yang is weak, and the country is not a country", "Qin Mo's thief violates the teachings of the sages", and even Jiang Xun was affected.

Qin Mo ignored these public opinion at all. In fact, he only planned to use female officials in some unimportant positions, such as mainly in weaving, animal husbandry, medical and nursing homes, and education departments. This is also considered to give them a chance to show their talents.

It was very difficult and pressured, but Qin Mo still survived, determined to build Jizhou into an unprecedented prosperous scene to realize the agreement between him and Liu Ce, and even more wanted to show his lofty ambitions and ideals in his heart.

Now, this achievement has initially achieved results and is moving steadily in the predetermined direction. Now no one can extinguish the flame burning in Qin Mo's heart.

The three girls returned to the gate of the Military Governor's Office while talking and laughing. Song Yanran held Tuoba Yue's hand and said, "Sister Yue, don't leave, stay and have dinner with my sister. I bought a lot of fish. How about I make fish and fish soup for you to taste?"

"Okay..." Tuoba Yue was already generous in character. When she saw Song Yanran's invitation, she naturally would not be polite. She agreed immediately, "I can't forget Sister Song's craftsmanship. It seems that she will have a good time tonight..."

Just as Song Yanran was about to say something again, Xia Miaoyin knocked on the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Miss Song, look over there, this man has been wandering outside the mansion for several days..."

When Song Yanran heard this, she looked at Xia Miaoyin's eyes and her face suddenly became gloomy, because the person standing not far away was the person she least wanted and did not want to see.

Biological father, Song Wenkui.

Song Yanran snorted coldly in disgust, and then said to the two: "Sister Xia, you go in with Sister Yue first, I'll come later..."

Tuoba Yue didn't know the inside story and asked suspiciously: "What the hell is it? Who is that person? Do you want to bully Sister Song? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

Xia Miaoyin hurriedly said to Tuoba Yue: "Miss Tuoba, go in first, I will tell you in detail when you enter the house..." After that, he pulled Tuoba Yue into the military governor's mansion with a large bag and two sled puppies.

After the two girls entered the house, Song Yanran and Song Wenkui looked at each other for a long time. After several teams of security guards appeared not far away, they took a breath and walked slowly towards him.

After Song Yanran walked in, Song Wenkui, who looked down on his face, immediately said excitedly: "Ran'er, you are finally willing to see your father. I thought you would never see me again..."

Song Yanran didn't look good at all, but just turned her body sideways and said to Song Wenkui: "What's the matter if you come to me?"

Seeing that Song Yanran's tone was cold, Song Wenkui showed an embarrassing expression, and said to Song Yanran: "Ran'er, Dad just wants to take a good look at you and see if you are doing well..."

"That's it?" Song Yanran snorted coldly, "If this is the case, then please General Song go back. I'm fine, you won't bother..."

After saying that, Song Yanran turned around and was about to leave. Song Wenkui was in a hurry to pull Song Yanran, but she didn't expect that Song Yanran would be prepared. When Song Wenkui's hand was about to touch the corner of her clothes, she turned around suddenly, her pretty eyes were angry, staring at him in a daze, which made Song Wenkui stunned and dared not get closer.

But Wen Song Yanran snorted coldly and said to Song Wenkui: "General Song, please respect yourself. Don't pull on the street, so as not to misunderstand..."

"Ran'er, are you so ruthless? I am your real father..." Seeing Song Yanran's expression of keeping others away from thousands of miles away, Song Wenkui felt extremely uncomfortable, "Dad came here this time just to see you, just miss you..."

Song Yanran looked at Song Wenkui's expression and felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. She would not believe anything about what the man said: "Forgive, I am not worthy of General Song's concern. If you have nothing to do, please go back and don't give it to me..."

Seeing that Song Yanran was about to leave again, Song Wenkui quickly stopped her and begged: "Daughter, do you really not have any father-daughter relationship? I know I am sorry for you. I lacked care for you when I was a child, but I have really regretted it now. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just want you to be so ruthless for your mother's sake, can you not be so ruthless?"

"Do you still have the face to mention my mother?" Song Yanran said tremblingly, "Who forced my mother to death? Who still ignored me when my mother was seriously ill? Isn't even able to enter the Song family's ancestral tomb? Do you have the face to mention my mother to me now?"

Song Wenkui lowered his head and said, "I know I have no shame to mention your mother now. I have always felt a lot of guilt towards you over the years, but Ran'er, my father really knows that he is wrong now. I just want to compensate you well and give him a chance to make up for it?"

"No need, General Song, have you finished saying it? Please go back after what you said..." Song Yanran still rejected Song Wenkui's words expressionlessly. She had no slight affection for Song Wenkui.

Song Wenkui's expression became extremely ugly. Song Yanran now had a faint transcendent and unworldly aura, which made the gap between herself and her bigger and bigger, and the gap became bigger. I don't know when it started, Song Yanran's identity had made him a little unattainable. All of this changed because of Liu Ce's appearance.

Seeing that Song Wenkui didn't say anything, Song Yanran said to him: "I guess you came to me not for the sake of family affection. You must have encountered something and need my help, right?"

Song Wenkui was stunned. He didn't expect that Song Yanran was so smart. He knew what he was thinking so quickly. He really had a major difficulty now and needed Song Yanran's help, but he really didn't know how to speak for a while.

Now that Song Yanran pointed it out, he had to bite the bullet and said to her: "Ran'er, Dad is really in trouble at the moment, but it's hard to talk to you for a while..."

"Then don't speak, please go back..." Song Yanran said bluntly when she heard this.

Song Wenkui hurriedly said, "Ran'er, your brother Song Qingshan is about to marry the daughter of the Huang family in Dingzhou. You also know that your father has lost most of his property by his clan members and cannot produce so many betrothal gifts. So can you ask Qingshan to help him with his brother's sake and get a betrothal money?"

Song Yanran sneered: "I have nothing to do with your Song family. Don't be so intimate. I am nominally just the daughter of Bo Song (Song Lian) now. Why don't you go to Bo Song if you have any difficulties?"

Song Wenkui sighed and said, "You Uncle Song has a deep prejudice against me and is unwilling to help you. Now you are the only one who can help your incompetent brother. He is already twenty-two. This marriage cannot be delayed any longer..."

Song Yanran smiled and said, "I remember General Song's family property is 10,000 yuan, and he would never be so poor that he could not take out the bride price. Even if the land and store were taken away, he would have a lot of savings under his name, right?"

Song Wenkui was stunned when he heard this and shook his head lonely: "Oh, it's all my fault for neglecting money and everyone in the family spends too much money. Your elder brother and second brother owed a lot of debts because they are good at gambling.

To be honest, the family’s money and food are only enough to maintain daily expenses. There is really no extra money to raise 400,000 taels of silver betrothal money. The people from the Huang family said that if you can’t raise all the money in a month, your brother’s marriage will be ruined..."

"Four hundred thousand?!" Song Yanran frowned, "Do you know how many people can support 400,000 taels of silver? But the bride price actually costs so much money, do you go with a conscience?"

Song Wenkui kept showing his pity: "Ran'er, just help your father once. I know that you are responsible for the daily finances in the Military Governor's Mansion. Dad only asks you to be able to help your brother in terms of your bloodline as the Song family?"

Song Yanran said angrily: "Brother Liu handed over the money in the mansion to me because he trusted me. I will not spend the money in an unknown place. I am sorry that I can't agree to you. You should think of another way. I have something to do, so say goodbye..."

After saying that, Song Yanran turned around and walked quickly towards the backyard gate of the Military Governor's Office, without giving Song Wenkui the opportunity to continue asking for each other.

"Ran'er, are you really willing to see your father be ruined? I'll wait here until you agree to help!" Song Wenkui shouted loudly at Song Yanran's figure.

At this moment, he regretted it very much. He never expected that one day his abandoned girl would have such a status. If he had been better with him at the beginning, maybe he would have been able to take her back and follow Liu Ce to gain a lot of benefits. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world to buy...

Although Song Yanran does not know a lot of poetry and songs like a famous daughter, her growth experience is much deeper than that of those famous daughters, and she will not easily be influenced by trivial matters. In terms of wisdom and principles of dealing with things, she is not inferior to anyone, and even many things need to be seen more clearly.

Back at the mansion, Song Yanran took a long breath and muttered softly: "400,000 taels, he is so embarrassed to open the exit. He loves to go there..."

After calming down, Song Yanran walked straight to the backyard. As soon as she entered the yard gate, she heard a puppy howling. Xia Miaoyin and Tuoba Yue looked at the two sled dogs locked in the cage with a confused look on their faces.

Song Yanran stepped forward and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Tuoba Yue pointed to a sled dog with his head clamped on the wooden cage and said, "I think there is something wrong with this dog. Look, the cage door next to it is open, but it insists on squeeze out the gap of the wooden cage, but it just barked like this if it can't come out..."

When Song Yanran heard this, she was confused. The door of the dog cage was open next to her, but the puppy insisted on squeezing in the crack of the door, and she was speechless at the moment...

"Forget it, it's quite fun. I don't have any money anyway, so I'll just keep two pets to relieve my boredom..." Song Yanran stretched and said with a smile, "Let's go, come with me to see how the black fish is like."

After saying that, Song Yanran pulled the two girls up and walked towards the kitchen, and thought to herself: "Xiao Yin is weak. After giving birth, she needs to repair her body urgently. By the way, make a bowl of fish soup for her and send it to her. Oh, my General Liu, you really have you. I asked you to take care of Xiao Yin and took care of all the children. You should give Xiao Yin a name!"
