Meng Jijiu said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be shy!"
"Dad, didn't you also inquire about it? You have copied and read the articles written by others, and you still ask me what I am doing? In terms of my character, I haven't found out anything bad about it anyway."
"In my opinion, this marriage is a good one. Although the other party has a lower status and is just a concubine, he has earned his own future. Madam Lian is generous and is willing to ask the eldest princess to be a matchmaker for a concubine, so she will definitely not be embarrassed. Future daughter-in-law.”
"Furthermore, the emperor intends to let him go out. Once my sister gets married, she will have no choice but to follow him and take office. Then she will not have to serve her parents-in-law. She will be the master of the family. Not to mention how comfortable her life will be."
Meng Shuang also said the same, and Meng Jijiu felt relieved.
"I also think this marriage is good."
After the words fell, someone came to tell them what Mrs. Meng had just said.
It seems that Mrs. Meng is also satisfied. If everyone is satisfied...
"Dad, I don't agree!"
Mengdie broke into the study. She didn't want to marry into the Lian family. She excused herself from not feeling well and didn't go out to see the guests today. However, she kept sending her maids to inquire about news from outside. When she learned that her parents were very satisfied with Lian Jiaying, she panicked.
"Die'er, what are you kidding about?"
"Dad, can't I express my opinion when you choose a marriage for me?"
Mengdie's tears came easily, "Marriage is a lifelong event. I want to marry someone who is of the same mind as me. I like him and he also likes me. I don't want to just find someone who is similar to me..."
It turned out to be the younger daughter's concern.
Meng Jijiu explained patiently: "You are my parents' sweetheart, how can we be willing to marry you off casually? We selected thousands of choices before we selected such a person who is satisfied with everything. Do you believe that my parents still have you?" Brother’s vision will definitely not be any worse!”
Mengdie knew that her parents would not harm her, and the candidate chosen must be extremely outstanding.
But she...
"Dad, brother, why don't you ask me who I want to marry?"
There was someone she had hidden in her heart for many years, and she never dared to tell anyone.
Meng Jijiu's forehead veins jumped.
"Nonsense, marriage is the order of the parents. Without a matchmaker, it can only be called adultery? Who is that person? When did he come to provoke you? Have you ever given anything to the other party? Have you ever been used by the other party..."
Meng Jijiu, an old father, could only think of so much. His simple and innocent girl was coaxed by the passionate and romantic libertine, and the other party took advantage of his girl and threatened...
Mengdie was stunned by his father's words.
Blushing: "Dad, what did you say?"
Meng Shuang stared at his father dumbfounded. Did these words come from his father's mouth?
His father, a serious old scholar who talks a lot, actually followed the trend and listened to the latest gossip?
"It's better if you don't have it!"
Meng Jijiu covered his heart, obviously frightened.
Mengdie knew that if she didn't find a chance to say what she wanted to say, she would never have a chance to speak again.
"Dad, I like Song Jingwei."
"What?"
Meng Shuang's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, "That's just a lump of stone. Are there not many people who have hit a brick wall with him over the years?"
Song Jingwei is much older than Mengdie, and Meng Shuang never thought that his sister would fall in love with him!
"How old are you this year? How old is he? When did you start liking him? Why didn't I know?"
Because of Chen Yongchuan's relationship, he and Song Jingwei were also good friends and met occasionally. However, Song Jingwei was busy with official duties most of the time and rarely made time to hang out with them.
He vaguely remembered that many years ago, when he was sending the crown prince of the Yongding Prefecture away from Beijing to take up his post, he secretly drank the fruit wine at the banquet and accidentally drank too much. Song Jing sent him back to the mansion. How old was this girl at that time?
How talented is Song Jingwei?
"Dad, brother, I want to give it a try. Brother, you have such a good relationship with Master Song. Please help me fight for it. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for me to listen to you..."
Mengdie's tears fell from her eyes after she spoke her mind. Her crying made her heart ache, and Meng Shuang agreed softly.
"I'm afraid, if someone agrees to marry you because of my friendship, will you be unhappy in your marriage?"
Song Jing thought that it would be better if he came out of Dali Temple and became the governor of Jingzhao.
Who knows, he is still busy until late at night every day.
He has only been in office for a short period of time, but he has finally checked out the confusing accounts in his jurisdiction and sorted out the old files that have accumulated for many years. Even the security of the capital has been improved to several levels. There are no longer people begging for food with broken bowls on the streets. The beggar.
If he is so capable, why doesn't he become a high-ranking official in the border areas? He is so talented in the capital!
Meng Shuang once lamented.
He had witnessed with his own eyes that a young girl sent by others slipped into his arms, but she could not even touch the corner of his clothes!
In order to marry him, the Crown Prince's wife of the Yongding Prefecture had to drug him.
The prince of the Yongding House could not do anything to him.
Otherwise, his children would be sent to enlightenment!
"elder brother!"
Mengdie was pleasantly surprised, looking at him with wet eyes, full of hope, which he couldn't bear to refuse.
Meng Shuang sighed.
He once teased Song Jingwei that if any girl fell in love with him, she would definitely be frozen by his iceberg-like attitude.
This is not retribution. My girl doesn’t have eyesight. It’s not good for her to fall in love with anyone, but she fell in love with him!
Mrs. Meng is still waiting for a reply.
If the father and son go over to have lunch with Mrs. Qin, it will mean that they agree to the marriage, and the Lian family can start preparing the betrothal gift and come to propose the marriage.
But Mengdie likes Song Jing because this thing is too scary. Song Jing may not agree to it, and Meng Shuang is afraid that Song Jing won't agree and will break his sister's heart!
If the other end doesn't work out... we can't keep talking here.
Meng Shuang turned his attention to his father.
Meng Jijiu stared.
"Dad, I need to trouble you to tell mother that I have to wash up before I can meet the guests."
It means asking her mother not to commit yet and give them some time to think about it.
If the Lian family can't wait even a few days, his sister may not be happy when she gets married.
Children are all debts, Meng Jijiu sighed in his heart, got up and went to the flower hall.
Princess Huirong had been out for a long time and had a cough. Lian Suisui stepped forward and patted her on the back.
"I'm sorry, that traitor smells of alcohol. He has to wash up before coming to see me. My eldest princess, princess, and madam, please forgive me."
Meng Jijiu looked apologetic.
"How much alcohol did you drink? Why is this child so ignorant!"
Mrs. Meng smiled apologetically.
"Ren Shu is coming down soon. He hasn't officially taken office yet. We should let the children relax a little." Ms. Qin said, "They say you should get married first and then start a career. The children's marriages are not settled, and we as parents are not at ease. ."
Everyone had a great time talking today. Meng Jijiu and Mrs. Meng praised Lian Jiaying a lot. This was the right time to bring up the idea of getting married.
Mrs. Meng wanted to answer the question and agreed, but her sleeve was pulled by Meng Jijiu.
"My little girl isn't feeling well today. She didn't come over to see her. It was a sign of disrespect. In a few days, when she feels better, I'll ask her to come and visit her."
Meng Jijiu said before Mrs. Meng could speak.
There is something strange about this.
Lian Suisui observed the expressions of Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Meng seemed a little surprised. Mrs. Qin's face was calm and she didn't seem to notice anything strange.
Lian Suisui wanted to say that she was the doctor. If Miss Meng was not feeling well, she could help see...
"Since Miss Meng is not feeling well, we will not disturb her today. I have long heard that Miss Meng is beautiful and smart, and I have wanted to meet her for a long time. Unfortunately, it was an unfortunate coincidence this time. I will see you next time, and I will have enough time to prepare a meeting gift."
"Mrs. Lian is too polite, so there is no need to give a greeting gift..."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "As an elder, it is rare to meet a junior you like, so you should give the meeting gift no less. It is getting late today, and we have been bothering you for a long time, so we are ready to say goodbye."
Meng Jijiu and Mrs. Meng got up to see each other off.
Lian Suisui was confused. Didn't he say that it would probably work out? Why did she feel like she was rejected?
