Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 139 Compromise
Song Ning waited for three days, and finally got the steward who was with her father. It seemed that her mother had told her father about it, and now her father wanted to have a good talk with him.

"Let's go." Song Ning straightened her clothes and followed the steward.

When she arrived at her father's study, Song Ning walked in alone. The huge study was very quiet, and a middle-aged man was standing at the desk writing something.

Song Ning didn't make a sound, just stood there, looking around, he hadn't been in his father's study for a long time, but the layout of the study was still the same as he remembered.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Yuan, Song Ning's father, finally put down his pen and raised his head, as if he had just seen Song Ning, he smiled slightly and said, "Come here, let's see how the word for father is written."

Song Ning walked over according to his words, and saw that what his father wrote was actually a piece of "Guan Ju". He didn't read the content carefully, but only glanced at it briefly, and praised without hesitation: "Father's writing has always been vigorous and powerful. , quite charming."

Song Yuanlang laughed twice, put down his pen, and patted his youngest son on the shoulder: "You can speak, but I don't think the word is very good, but this poem is good."

Song Ning heard the implication of Song Yuan's words, she just pursed her lips and did not answer.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent; a fair lady, a gentleman is so good..." Song Yuan glanced at Song Ning, and recited the content of the poem in a very slow tone, with a bit of frivolity, and then He laughed a few more times, looked at Song Ning and said, "You have grown up, and now you are almost as tall as me."

Song Ning lowered her eyes slightly, but still didn't speak. He knew that Song Yuan meant "grow up", not simply saying that he had grown taller.

Sure enough, after feeling a little emotional, Song Yuan said: "Speaking of which, you will be 15 years old soon, and it's time to marry a wife. I heard from your mother that you have a crush on a girl?"

"Yes, the boy likes that girl very much and wants to marry her." Song Ning admitted the matter without hesitation and expressed her position.

The expression on Song Yuan's face froze, and then changed into a kind father's smile: "This is a good thing, I think I married your mother when I was 15 years old, and then I took those concubines. Boy, do you know what is the most glamorous thing about a man's identity?"

Song Ning glanced at her father, he had already guessed what the answer his father wanted, but it was not the answer in his heart, so Song Ning just glanced at Song Yuan, but did not answer.

This made Song Yuan couldn't help complaining: "You child, you always don't like to talk, and now you grow up, it's even more so."

"I made my father laugh." Song Ning's mouth curled into a mocking smile. It's not that he doesn't like to talk, but in this home, he doesn't know who to say to.

Song Yuan smiled good-naturedly, sat on the chair behind the desk, and motioned for Song Ning to sit down too, as if he wanted to have a long talk with his son: "As a man, getting married and starting a business is a big deal, if you can think about it The blessing of Qiren is a beautiful thing. Ning'er, I know that you are sincere to that girl, but as a man, having three wives and four concubines is just a common thing. Even if she knew, she would only I forgive you for that."

This made Song Ning frowned, and he imagined how Han Duyue would react if he told him that he wanted three wives and four concubines.

Then Song Ning suddenly trembled all over, and couldn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Ning'er thinks I'm wrong? Look at your mother, hasn't she been doing well all these years?" Seeing that Song Ning was silent, Song Yuan thought that the other party was hesitant, so he showed up to explain, "Besides, what if If you really prefer that girl, you can give her more pampering, and she should be content."

Hearing her father say such words, Song Ning was a little dumbfounded, wondering how her mother would feel if she heard these words.

He thought about it for a while, and decided not to let his father continue talking: "Father, the boy really loves that girl, and there will never be another girl. I hope my father will be fulfilled."

Song Yuan talked for a long time, but finally got such a response from his son. He was a little annoyed at once, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "Didn't you listen to my words at all? It's not that I don't want you to marry her, it's just that you always marry her." You can't just have her alone, besides, she is just a peasant girl, her status is not worthy of you at all."

"Baier thinks she is worthy of him, there is no doubt about it." Song Ning's tone became a little blunt. Although he didn't want to talk back to his father, he had to say something.

He can be wronged, but he must never let Xiaoyue be wronged.

Song Yuan's face froze, and there was a little displeasure on his face: "What do you mean by this? What is the identity of that person, and why did you become so fascinated?"

"Father, please don't say that, it's just that I have a crush on her unilaterally, and she doesn't know about it yet." Song Ning resolutely defended Han Duyue's reputation, her tone undeniable.

Song Yuan was irritated by this action, and couldn't help but slapped the table: "You really cared about that man, and you actually disobeyed me like this for a woman who hasn't even entered the house yet!"

"Father calm down, my son is just telling the truth," Song Ning lowered her eyes, but her tone was not soft at all. He really didn't want to engage in these useless verbal disputes with Song Yuan, so he simply stated his position directly, "Father, my son's heart has been decided." , presumably the mother has conveyed the child's thoughts to the father, and hopes that the father can fulfill it."

Song Yuan was sitting in front of the desk panting heavily, his eyes staring at his youngest son. He didn't expect that his youngest son would really refuse to do anything because of a woman, and even contradict him. to him.

What annoyed Song Yuan even more was that in the face of his younger son's behavior, he had to suppress his temper, and he couldn't really quarrel with the other party, because a large part of the Song family's expenses now came from this little son.

Even Song Yuan's eldest son's future, which has always been valued by Song Yuan, is partly hung on the youngest son.

This feeling was very bad for Song Yuan, but he had to suppress his temper, and put on a loving father who shared his son's worries again: "I know you must be very concerned about that girl now, but you are still young now , There are many things that I don’t understand. As your father, I need to show you a clear path. Ning’er, being a father is not to separate you. You must be clear about this. Hello."

"I know, but no matter what my father says, my mind will not change," Song Ning raised her head, looked directly at her father, and said word by word, "I will only marry her in my life, and I will never marry her." There will be other women, and I hope my father can fulfill her."

Being looked at by his younger son like this, Song Yuan was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up: "You bastard!"

"If the father hasn't figured out the answer, the child will leave first." Song Ning lowered her eyes again, and said threatening words in a light tone, "There is one more thing that I haven't told my father. I will go to various shops in the past few days. After leaving, I found that the business of several shops has not been very good recently, and I am afraid that they will not be able to provide the corresponding goods for the family."

Being threatened by his youngest son like this, Song Yuan was angry and felt ashamed, but what made him feel even more embarrassing was that this kind of threat just hit his pain, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't be angry at this time. angry.

"Ning'er, is that woman really as good as you think?" Song Yuan took a few deep breaths before he stopped yelling, "Perhaps it's because you have too few women? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days, Just in time for your mother to hold a banquet, so I can get to know a few more people..."

"Father, I think my meaning has been expressed clearly enough." Song Ning interrupted his father with a sigh before he could finish speaking.

Song Yuan choked, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to this sentence. He naturally didn't want to agree, but he had to choose to agree, or at least agree temporarily.

According to what his wife said before, the woman Song Ning was looking for seemed to be young, so even if Song Ning really wanted to marry him, she would have to wait a few more years.

So even if he verbally agrees now, with so many variables in the future, who knows what will happen?

Maybe after a year or two, Song Ning will get the hang of it and look down on that peasant girl?
Thinking of this, the anger in Song Yuan's heart dissipated a bit, and he was silent for a moment, as if he had figured something out, sighed and said in a fatherly tone: "Since you like that girl so much, it's not hard to be a father." Stop you, but you must know how to measure, don't ruin the reputation of the girl's family."

"Thank you father for your success, the child will definitely pay more attention." After getting the answer she wanted, a smile finally appeared on Song Ning's face, "Since the father has agreed to this matter, the child will go to the mother to discuss it." Proposing marriage."

Just as Song Yuan was about to nod, he froze suddenly: "What did you say? Propose marriage? Who do you want to propose marriage to?"

"It's the girl that Hai'er likes. Didn't Hai'er speak clearly just now?" Song Ning looked at Song Yuan calmly, with a soft tone.

Although Song Yuan knew that Song Ning had fallen in love with a peasant girl, and that he came back this time to force himself to express his opinion, but he had no idea that Song Ning liked that person, and he had already reached the point where he wanted to come to propose marriage!

This incident was completely different from what he had expected. After being shocked, Song Yuan suddenly became a little out of breath, feeling like he was being teased by someone, and that person was his son.

Song Yuan was held back by this anger for a long time, his face turned red, but he couldn't say anything.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Didn't you just promise me? Are you going to go back on your word now?" Song Ning looked at Song Yuan pretending to be puzzled.

Song Yuan glared at his youngest son angrily. Being asked such a question, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only hum: "You can make up your own mind!"
