The Song Family had been keeping a low profile for so many years, mainly because the Old Master was very strict with his family. Just like the Yan family motto, "Born in troubled times, grown up in the army, wandered about, and learned much." The Old Master's life was like this. He was born in that unstable era, grew up in the merciless war, and finally climbed out of the pile of corpses. He lived at the top of the court and witnessed the process of the country and its people going from troubled times to prosperous times.
The Old Master cultivated his moral character, took care of the family, and pacified the world. He never dared to be negligent, because he often thought about why he was still alive, while his comrades, brothers, and friends died in troubled times. He did not dare to attribute his current position to his own hard work. It was fought for by thousands of people, so he was strict with himself and his descendants. If they had any pride of being born in this family or used the family's achievements for the slightest benefit, they would be scolded and reprimanded by him.
Therefore, the second generation of the Song Family was very ordinary and did not have any great achievements. Basically, they all worked in the government offices. However, in the third generation, there were two outstanding juniors.
One was Song Hesheng, who was sitting below. Many people had high hopes for him, and he was one of the core figures among the young people of this generation in Sijiu City. After graduating from graduate school, he started training at the grassroots level. He took one step at a time. Whether it was the leaders or his colleagues, they all spoke highly of him. Moreover, he was willing to do practical things, and his conduct was excellent. Now, he was already a deputy director of a department with real power, and his future was limitless.
The other was the woman who had just pushed the door open. She was the youngest granddaughter of the Old Master and also Song Hesheng's cousin. How did many people evaluate her? Just like her name, Song Ruyu, she was a gentleman, gentle as jade.
If a woman was described as a gentleman, then this woman was not simple. She was an extraordinary woman in the world, and also a clear stream in this impetuous society.
At this moment, Qin Sheng did not know who this woman was, but he was attracted by her temperament. He did not know how to describe this woman's temperament. It was like seeing a stranger and knowing that she must be a good person at first glance.
The woman was very beautiful, no worse than his sister. However, Qin Sheng felt that it was an insult to pay attention to her appearance at this moment, because her temperament had already covered her beauty.
She tied her hair with the most common black hair band, without any makeup. Her clothes were also very simple. She wore a gray sweater and a light-colored coat, and white jeans, and a pair of black cloth shoes. Qin Sheng was surprised. When Qin Sheng was young, he loved to wear this kind of cloth shoes the most. They were not the old Beijing cloth shoes that could be bought outside. Instead, they were the layers of soles made by the aunties in the village. They were especially comfortable and sturdy. However, he had not worn them in recent years. Therefore, when he saw the woman in front of him wearing black cloth shoes, Qin Sheng was absent-minded.
The Old Master's eyes were full of love when he saw his granddaughter. This kind of cloth shoes made by the aunties in the village was very comfortable and solid. He had not worn them in recent years, so he was absent-minded when he saw this woman wearing black cloth shoes.
"Yu 'er, are you in the study again?" The Old Master's eyes were full of love when he saw his granddaughter. Yu 'er was the youngest of all his grandchildren, but she was also the one he was most satisfied with and appreciated. The Old Master sometimes wondered if the old man of the Qin family had already seen through the secrets of heaven, so he had played such a joke on him.
Song Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled without showing her teeth, but her eyes were full of smiles, like the warm sun outside, which made people feel very friendly.
"Sister Ran, long time no see. You look a little haggard." Song Ruyu walked to Qin Ran and Qin Sheng and smiled. Her steps were very light, like a spring breeze. Wherever she walked, the grass and trees would flourish.
Qin Ran liked this woman from the Song family very much. She was used to all kinds of women, but Song Ruyu was unique. Her character seemed to be incompatible with the secular world, but she had a unique way to blend in. Qin Ran could not help thinking that it might be a good thing for such a woman to marry into the Qin family.
Qin Ran did not know why she felt ashamed every time she saw Song Ruyu. She smiled faintly and said, "Ruyu, I am haggard, but you are getting more and more beautiful."
Song Ruyu lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "Sister, you are joking again."
She actually did not like to be called beautiful by others, especially by strangers. But she was relatively familiar with Qin Ran, so she was not angry.
"Yu 'er, do you know who he is?" Old Master Song pointed at Qin Sheng and said calmly. They had met several times when they were young. But those memories were a little distant, so they probably could not remember them.
Song Ruyu did not know who would come to pay New Year's greetings today. After all, many people came to pay New Year's greetings every year. But she was not here most of the time. She knew that Uncle Qin and Sister Ran would come to pay New Year's greetings on the morning of the first day of every year. She had met them a few times.
But this year, she was a little confused about why Grandpa asked them to come so early on the morning of the first day of the first day of every year. She thought there would be some distinguished guests, but she had not seen them until now. Of course, she did not think that Sister Ran and this man would be distinguished guests that Grandpa would pay so much attention to. Maybe only those leaders or old friends could make Grandpa pay attention to them.
Song Ruyu first smiled and nodded at Qin Sheng. She did not look him up and down impolitely. Then she slightly frowned and looked at Qin Sheng a few times. It was not long or short, so Qin Sheng did not feel disgusted or looked down upon. From these little things, Qin Sheng could see Song Ruyu's character.
Then Song Ruyu looked at Grandpa, smiled and shook her head. "Grandpa, I really didn't recognize him. I'm afraid that I haven't seen him for many years. Otherwise, I would have remembered him."
Old Master squinted and smiled. Then he explained to his granddaughter, "Hahaha, even I didn't recognize him. Yu 'er, of course you didn't recognize him. In fact, you haven't seen him for 22 years. He is the naughty boy who brought you candied fruits every time when you were little."
Originally, Song Ruyu looked very calm. But after hearing Grandpa's words, she became a little absent-minded and murmured, "Qin Sheng?"
Old Master had done what he should do. The rest of the things were left to the two children to catch up. So he said, "Yu 'er, take Qin Sheng to the yard. I have something to ask your Sister Ran."
Although Song Ruyu was still in a daze, she nodded and said softly, "Okay."
When she turned around, Song Ruyu couldn't help but look at Qin Sheng. It had been more than 20 years. She didn't expect to see Qin Sheng again. She had heard about the past of the Qin Family from her grandpa and knew that the boy, who always smiled from ear to ear, had disappeared. She didn't expect to see him again today.
Qin Sheng looked at Qin Ran and smiled at Grandpa Song. Then he nodded to the others and followed Song Ruyu out of the yard.
In the yard, the sun was just right. The flowers and trees were stretching their muscles and bones, enjoying the rare sunshine.
Song Ruyu, who was walking in front, happened to be standing under a tree. The sunlight shone on her through the gaps between the trees, which made Qin Sheng feel like he had seen her somewhere. Of course, it was not when he was little. After all, he had long forgotten about it.
"I didn't expect to see you again." Song Ruyu turned around and looked at Qin Sheng. She smiled shyly and said, "I only remember what you looked like when you were little. I really can't recognize you now."
Qin Sheng didn't know why Grandpa Song asked him to follow this woman. Although Grandpa Song said that they knew each other when they were little, Qin Sheng had long forgotten about it. He really didn't know what to talk about with this woman. He didn't know why he didn't have any confidence in front of this woman.
"I almost forgot everything when I was little. I can only remember my mother. I can't even recognize my sister. I didn't expect life to be so magical." Qin Sheng smiled bitterly. He didn't want to talk about the past. It was all in the past, and there was no right or wrong.
Song Ruyu could feel the sadness in Qin Sheng's words. She focused on her mother. She knew that Aunt Zhu had passed away when Qin Sheng was little. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. She also knew that anything she said would be hypocritical and polite, so she didn't say anything.
"You know my name, but I don't know yours." Qin Sheng heard Grandpa Song calling her Yu 'er. He couldn't call her Yu' er, so he took the initiative to ask.
Song Ruyu said lightly, "Song Ruyu."
"Running away, shining brilliance. A gentleman is like a jade, precious for his elegance. A gentleman is like a jade, gentle as jade. A gentleman is like a jade, cut and chiseled. Is that Ruyu? " Qin Sheng had a good impression of this name, but then he said, "I'm not showing off. I just said it subconsciously."
Qin Sheng's cautiousness made Song Ruyu laugh. "Yes, it's Ruyu. But I'm not that sensitive."
"Good name." Qin Sheng couldn't help but say. He didn't think it was inappropriate. It was a good name for both men and women. Confucianism emphasized the golden mean and worshiped gentlemen. The two words "Ruyu" matched the original meaning.
While Qin Sheng was speaking, Song Ruyu was still looking at him up and down calmly. Especially when Qin Sheng was speaking, she kept staring at his eyes, trying to find out something from him.
She had recovered from the initial absent-mindedness and surprise. In fact, when she guessed Qin Sheng's name, she already knew why Grandpa had asked them to come so early today. Obviously, the others should have known the reason, but they just hid it from her.
Everyone thought that she didn't know the past between the Song and the Qin family, but she had known it a long time ago. Her grandmother, who had passed away many years ago, had once spilled the beans. At that time, she thought it was interesting, but she didn't take it seriously. Moreover, she knew that the man of the Qin family had been missing for many years, but she didn't expect that the Qin family would find him, let alone see him today.
