Song Zhiyuan heard Qingcheng Marquis’s sympathies for his father, put down his teacup, and said with a smile: "It’s not like the Uncle’s Mansion, with many sons and grandsons, our Song family’s grandchildren are still a bit fewer."
Qingcheng Marquis waved his hand: "It’s not that few, just counting now, not including the husband, you three brothers each have two sons, in the future, when the branches spread, this mansion might not be big enough."
Not to ntion two, even with Pri Minister Song’s and the second one’s sons, they are all legitimate children.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Qingcheng Marquis’s eyes twinkled, he took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "In fact, my visit here, you with your cleverness must have guessed, is about the children’s marriage arrangents. Just yesterday I heard Bo Ning returned to the city, why don’t I see him today? Afraid he’s avoiding old brother ?"
The main topic finally ca.
Song Zhiyuan sighed and said: "To be honest with you, when father returned, he was severely scolded by my mother, was so angry that he had a sharp pain in his chest at midnight, and now he’s still lying in bed."
"Scolded?" Qingcheng Marquis raised an eyebrow: "What for?"
Song Zhiyuan feigned surprise: "Didn’t you just ntion the children’s marriage arrangents? Isn’t that why you ca, for the verbal agreent between my father and you to unite the families through marriage?"
Qingcheng Marquis’s throat itched: "Of course, your father and I get along very well, and it was during the Lunar New Year that we agreed on becoming in-laws, he even t my granddaughter, the second daughter of the second household, she’s fourteen and in her beautiful pri, suitable to match with your family..."
"That’s precisely it!" Song Zhiyuan clapped his hands and said: "My mother scolded him for this matter."
Qingcheng Marquis: "???"
I’m not even done speaking, what do you an by interrupting?
Song Zhiyuan said: "To be honest with you, my eldest is currently discussing marriage, with the Long Princess acting as the matchmaker. Such good news had to be shared with my father. He got overly excited, thinking that since the eldest grandson was getting engaged, the other grandsons shouldn’t be left behind, so he just agreed with you without consulting us."
Qingcheng Marquis had an inexplicable feeling sothing was off, his intuition told him the upcoming words wouldn’t be good.
"The Qingcheng Marquis Mansion has long-standing rit, your noble family’s young ladies are renowned, and are very fine girls, seeking them is certainly a great blessing. But my father was foolishly happy, I heard they agreed on this while drinking?"
Qingcheng Marquis’s old face ward up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yes, he saw my granddaughter, said she was extraordinary, insisted on arranging a marriage, I thought the Song family’s young n are good, so I agreed."
Song Zhiyuan sighed helplessly: "Alcohol leads to trouble."
Qingcheng Marquis’s ears were burning, was Song Yunzhi subtly mocking him?
He coughed and said: "A verbal agreent is still an agreent, not to ntion the tokens have already been exchanged, Yunzhi surely wouldn’t deny it, right?"
"What do you an by that? Our Song family is not unscrupulous, once agreed, it must be acted upon." Song Zhiyuan spoke with righteous certainty: "It’s just that my father is muddle-headed, while I, as the eldest son, cannot be muddle-headed, nor can I be a villain who hinders a good girl’s prospects."
Qingcheng Marquis frowned, waiting quietly for him to continue.
Song Zhiyuan glanced over and said: "You also know, our second young master on the surface went to study, but actually, he secretly joined the army, and who knows when he’ll return. If this engagent is truly to be settled, our Song Family is all for it, but we fear delaying your noble family’s young lady, don’t you think my mother would scold my father? This isn’t right!"
