Chapter 62 Engagement
Three days later, Song Qingyue returned home to the capital with her father.
The sisters at home seemed to be very enthusiastic about her return, especially the eldest sister and the second sister, who often came to her room to chat with her and talk about business in the south.
In the past half month, things were calm in the Song Mansion, but there was a turbulent struggle in the capital.
Song Qingyue, who was hiding in her hospital to "recuperate", could hear some new gossip from her eldest sister and second sister every day.
The biggest gossip recently is that the elderly grandsons of several princes are getting engaged, and even the eldest son of the eighth prince Gongjun, who has just turned thirteen, is starting to choose a wife!
In the palace, Li Zhao heard the report from his servants, smiled understandingly, and continued to play chess with his escort Ning Yuan leisurely.
"What do you think?" Ning Yuan asked.
Li Zhao sneered: "What do you think? It must be the Queen's advice. Since she couldn't make the emperor decide to reset the uncle, she could only muddy the water before she died. There is still a glimmer of hope for the East Palace. But you
, Young Master Ning, do you want to go home and see which lady your grandma has chosen for you?"
Ning Yuan was also a quick thinker. After hearing this, his eyes widened and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Li Zhao, wait for me!" After saying that, he ignored the half-played chess game and hurriedly
He put on his shoes, jumped up from the Arhat bed, and rushed out like an arrow.
Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting outside the door, was confused. He was still a little confused about the situation. Why did Mr. Ning go home just now?
His master, Eunuch Lin, scolded him: "Stupid!" and then explained to him, "Every official of fifth rank or above in the capital must submit a list of girls of suitable age and unmarried family members to His Majesty and all the princes.
Choice. But the variables of marrying the emperor's grandson are really too great.
The ministers who don’t want to take risks are gathering together to make betrothal arrangements for their children! Can the emperor and the princes still forcibly snatch the betrothed girl to be their daughter-in-law? Young Master Ning has already reached the crown and has not yet been married. Zhenbei Hou Mansion
Doesn’t the old lady want to take this opportunity to arrange a marriage for Young Master Ning?”
Xiao Huangmen suddenly understood and quickly complimented: "Master, you are still well-informed."
Of course, Mr. Song was among the people who hastily arranged for his daughter to betrothed.
Although he is not a cabinet minister, he is inseparable from it now. At least the emperor takes him with him every time he goes to the cabinet. Moreover, the emperor intends to give two more seats to the seven-member cabinet and let him serve as the Minister of Household Affairs.
As a member of the cabinet.
However, the old cabinet ministers are definitely not willing to divide the power so thinly. They are still wrestling with the emperor, so it is not easy to settle it.
In short, Mr. Song himself also knows that he is now a piece of cake that everyone wants to take a bite of. Therefore, in addition to the third girl in his family who has already registered his name with His Majesty and must submit her name, the eldest girl and the second girl
The girl must settle the marriage as soon as possible. If the first girl and the second girl are targeted by a young master from any prince's palace again, then Song will no longer be human inside and out.
Now that you are standing in line, you have to stand firm and stick to it. No one likes people who are at both ends of the spectrum.
Fortunately, the marriage of the two girls did not bother Mr. Song for too long. I don’t know what Li Zhao did, but he unknowingly put a note in his study. There was a person on it who he thought was a very suitable candidate, Mr. Song.
It only took one glance to understand. That afternoon, someone was sent to those stores to deliver the post. The next day, Mr. Liang personally came to check on the news.
Song Yaxin didn't expect that her marriage would be settled so quickly. It was Empress Xu's natal family, Xu Youzhong, the eldest son of Wei Guogong.
On the day when the Geng Tie was exchanged, it was raining outside, the weather was a bit cooler, and the trees in the yard began to lose their leaves. She and Song Yuxi gathered in Song Qingyue's house to make tea and chat, and marinated the newly arrived sunflower seeds this year. When fried, the aroma is very unusual.
Song Yaxin was a little melancholy. After all, she had not been able to see her future husband in person, so her parents hurriedly arranged the marriage for her.
"Sister, don't be sad. I think even the cousins in the Song family over there will be jealous of such a good marriage!" Song Yuxi comforted her.
Speaking of this, Song Yaxin finally had a smile on her face. This matter was deeply felt by her and Song Yuxi, two girls who first grew up in the capital.
Song Yaxin said to Song Qingyue: "Third sister, you don't know. Back then, all the ladies in the Song Mansion over there had their nostrils turned upward. At first, the second sister and I would give us small gifts every time we went there to play. We also I was quite happy to play, but when I got older, I saw the contempt in the eyes of the adults. After that, we were not very willing to play anymore."
Song Yuxi said: "The eldest sister is pretty good, but I am even worse! I remember that I was only five years old at that time, and there was a sister over there who said that if she asked me to learn how to bark a dog twice, I would give her a silk flower on her head. Give it to me. I didn’t know anything at that time. I learned how to bark twice and was scolded by my mother when I came back. After that, my mother never took me out for a whole year."
Song Qingyue suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, where are those two families over there? Why are they so quiet recently?"
