The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 62 Engagement
Three days later, Song Qingyue followed her father back to her home in the capital.

The sisters in the family seem to be very enthusiastic about her return, especially the eldest sister and second sister, who often come to her room to chat with her and talk about business in the south.

In the past half a month, the Song Mansion was calm and calm, but there was a turbulent wrestling in the capital.

Song Qingyue, who hid in her own courtyard to "recover from illness", could hear some new gossip from the elder sister and second sister every day.

The biggest gossip recently is that several older grandsons in the palace are going to be engaged, and even the eldest son of the Eighth Prince Gongjun who has just turned thirteen is going to start choosing a wife!

In the palace, Li Zhao heard the servant's report, smiled knowingly, and continued to play chess with his companion Ning Yuan in a leisurely manner.

"What do you think?" Ning Yuan asked.

Li Zhao sneered: "How can I see it? It must be the remonstrance of the empress. Since she failed to make the emperor make up her mind to restore the uncle, she can only muddy the water before she dies. The East Palace still has a glimmer of life. But you , Young Master Ning, do you want to go home and see which lady grandma has chosen for you?"

Ning Yuan is also a quick thinker. After hearing this, his eyes widened, and he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Li Zhao, you wait for me!" Put on the shoes, bounce off the Arhat bed, and rush out like an arrow.

Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting outside the door, looked dazed, and was a little confused about the situation. Why did Mr. Ning go home?

His master, Eunuch Lin, cursed at the side: "Stupid!" Then he explained to him, "All officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must hand over the list of unmarried girls of the right age in their family to His Majesty and all princes. Choose. But the variable of marrying the emperor's grandson is really too big, and the ministers who don't want to take risks are getting together to betroth their sons and daughters! Can the Holy Majesty and the princes still grab the betrothed girl to be their daughter-in-law? The young master has reached the crown and is not yet married, isn't the old lady of Zhenbei Hou's mansion going to take this opportunity to arrange a marriage for young master Ning?"

Xiao Huangmen suddenly realized, and quickly complimented: "Master, you are well-informed."

Of course, Mr. Song was among those who hurriedly engaged his daughter in marriage.

Although he is not a cabinet minister, he is almost the same 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, allowing him to join the cabinet as the minister of the household department.

However, the old cabinet ministers are definitely not willing to do this kind of thinning of power, and they are still wrestling with the emperor, so it is not so easy to settle.

In short, Mr. Song also knows that he is now a sweet pastry that everyone wants to have a bite of. Therefore, except for the third girl in his house who has already registered with His Majesty, she must pass her name up. The girl must settle the marriage as soon as possible, in case the eldest girl and the second girl are to be targeted by some prince in the palace, then he, Song, will be a different person inside and out.

Now that you are in the team, you have to bite the bullet and stand down. No one likes people with two ends of the head.

Fortunately, the marriage of the two girls didn't bother Mr. Song for too long. I don't know what trick Li Zhao used to put a note in his study without anyone noticing. It was clear at a glance, that afternoon, someone was sent to those few houses to deliver the post, and Mrs. Liang came to the door the next day to find out.

Song Yaxin didn't expect that her marriage would be settled so soon. It was Empress Xu's natal family, the son of Wei Guogong, Xu Youzhong.

On the day of exchanging geng posts, it was raining outside, the weather became a bit cooler, and the trees in the yard began to drop their leaves.She and Song Yuxi gathered together in Song Qingyue's room to make tea and chat, as well as the sunflower seeds that arrived this year, marinated and then fried, the fragrance was very unusual.

Song Yaxin was a little melancholy, after all, she didn't even get to see her future husband in person, so her parents rushed to help her decide the marriage.

"Sister, don't be sad. I think even the cousins ​​in the Song Mansion over there would be jealous of such a good marriage!" Song Yuxi comforted her.

Speaking of this, Song Yaxin finally had a smile on her face, and she and Song Yuxi, two girls who first grew up in the capital, felt the deepest about this matter.

Song Yaxin said to Song Qingyue: "Third sister, you don't know. At the beginning, all the ladies in the Song Mansion over there had their nostrils upturned. In the beginning, my second sister and I went to play every time because our aunt and aunt would give us small gifts. We I was quite happy to play, but when I got older, I saw the contempt in the eyes of those adults. After that, we were not so willing to play anymore."

Song Yuxi said: "The elder sister is not bad, but I am even worse! I remember that I was only five years old at that time, and a sister over there said that if I asked me to bark like a dog twice, I would give her a silk flower on her head. Give it to me. I didn’t understand anything at the time, learned how to bark twice, and was scolded by my mother when I came back, and my mother never took me out for a whole year.”

Song Qingyue suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, what about those two over there? Why are they so quiet recently?"
