After Cheng Song left from the South City Gate, he went to the Beida Camp, called a few veterans to compete and beat for a few rounds, and then had a meal with the soldiers before returning to the mansion.

Seeing that Cheng Song was back, the little guy left behind in the Peace House hurriedly stepped forward to wait, and did not forget to tell what happened after the master left the house.

In the evening, the second, third, and fourth ladies came to greet the old lady with the girls and buddies in the house. The little guy said, "I haven't left Zhaozheng Courtyard at this time." ”

"Are they all here?" Cheng Song raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fresh!, but what's going on?"

The little guy took Cheng Song's dirty robe handed over by Jixiang and hung it on his arm, and replied, "The little one secretly inquired, it seems that it is for the uncle's engagement." ”

"Betrothal to the eldest brother?" Cheng Song looked surprised, he hadn't heard the eldest brother mention it when he was learning knife techniques with Cheng Rong in the morning!, "Do you know which family's daughter it is?"

"I don't know. The little guy bowed his head.

After Cheng Song quickly changed his clothes and tied his hair and dressed neatly, he went to Zhaozheng Courtyard, where Mrs. Cheng lived, to ask for peace.

In the Zhaozheng Courtyard, the wives, grandmothers, girls, and young brothers of the fourth room of the Lu Guogong Mansion gathered together, talking and laughing about Cheng Rong's family affairs. The voice of the little girl "Second Master Song is here" came from outside, and all the women stopped talking.

"Brother Song still loves to run outside like this. Mrs. Cheng Si covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Rong said about his family, and it should be his turn next!"

Old Lady Cheng pretended to be annoyed and shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's embarrassing to say goodbye to that magic barrier!"

Cheng Song bypassed the screen and entered the hall, and saw that the other three-room aunts, cousins, and young cousins who had passed through the branch were all over, so they were a room full of people!

Six years ago, before Cheng Yuan, the Duke of Lu Guo, went to Xiguan to guard the town, he divided his family and separated his three half-brothers! Because Mrs. Cheng was still there, she only said to the outside world that she was separated from each other, not from each other. The other three rooms all live in Beijing, and they will go to the Luguo Mansion to find out the news if there is anything.

stepped forward to salute the elders, and then saluted the cousins and cousins, Cheng Song asked: "I heard that the eldest brother is going to get engaged, why is it so sudden? I haven't heard any movement before." ”

Old Madam Cheng glared at him with disgust, "You ran around outside all day, what do you care about at home?"

Cheng Song grinned, "I don't care about the others, but I care about the eldest brother." I don't know whose daughter it is?"

Mrs. Cheng looked at the three concubines and daughters-in-law and smiled: "Look, look, this is a careful trial of me." ”

The ladies laughed again, and among the four wives who were seated, a middle-aged woman with a rich body and wearing an orange-gold silk satin placket walked up to Cheng Song.

The woman grabbed Cheng Song's arm and looked at Mrs. Cheng and said with a smile: "Our brother Song, this is a friendly brother, it's a good one." What I told your brother is the three girls from the Shaoqing Mansion of Taichang Temple, who are gentle and peugeot. ”

This woman is the third wife of the third room, and like the fourth wife, she is a perennial smiling person.

Cheng Song, the daughter of Lin Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, her eyes flashed, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"It's the matchmaker for the third wife, and your father and mother also agreed. Mrs. Cheng beckoned to Cheng Song and asked him to sit beside her, "When Brother Rong'er's family affairs are decided, you can't prevaricate me anymore with the excuse that my brother is not married and he is not in a hurry to say that he is married!"

Cheng Song was pressed on the couch by Mrs. Cheng, and when she heard the old man mention the matter of kissing herself, she immediately felt a headache.

Mrs. Cheng Si's eyes couldn't help but look at Cheng Song, "I haven't seen Brother Song for a month, so I think I'm more handsome." I heard that many noble ladies in Beijing are very fond of our Brother Song, and even the county lord of Minyi of the Liang Palace......"

"Ahem!" Mrs. Cheng covered her mouth and coughed twice, and the girl next to her hurriedly stepped forward with a spittoon.

Mrs. Cheng waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need a spittoon, and the maid on the other side served tea.

Mrs. Cheng Si is a smart person, and when she saw that her mother-in-law interrupted what she was about to say by coughing, she knew that it was taboo. With a slight embarrassment on his face, he raised his hand and pressed the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Cheng Er and Mrs. Cheng San, who had always been at odds with each other, both pouted faintly and laughed lightly.

"It was a little hot at noon today, and I ate two mouthfuls of ice bowls with my mouth, and then I had a cough. After taking two sips of tea, Mrs. Cheng raised her head and glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "You have to pay attention when you are young, don't try to be happy for a while, you will be cold and untaboo, and then you will suffer if you get sick! ”

"The daughter-in-law (grandson) wrote it down. The ladies stood up and saluted.

Mrs. Cheng nodded a few sentences, and pulled the conversation back to the family affair between Cheng Rong and Miss Lin, and the hall was lively again. After another pillar of incense or so, the people in the second, third, and fourth rooms all got up to take their leave and go home.

Cheng Song got up and gave a salute, and Mrs. Cheng San smiled and grabbed him with a few words of ridicule before leaving with everyone.

After sending off the female dependents and children who had left the third room, Mrs. Cheng's house quieted down. The servants and maids silently and neatly packed up the tea cups and chairs, and gently cleaned them.

Mrs. Cheng closed her eyes and leaned on the couch with a tired face, and the girl rubbed her forehead.

"You've been with you for more than an hour, aren't you?" Old Mrs. Cheng opened her eyes and looked at Duchess Lan of Luguo, and said helplessly, "Next time they come over, you just can't see your illness." ”

Lan lowered his head and said softly: "How can you let your mother deal with it alone." ”

"Alas. Mrs. Cheng brushed away the girl's hand on the corner of her forehead, "You also heard the words of the fourth daughter-in-law?

Mother said yes. Lan's face was sad, "But this person chooses ......"

There was a sound outside the door, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped talking and looked over, only to see that it was Cheng Song who went and returned.

Cheng Song came in and saw his grandmother lying on the couch with a tired look, and stepped forward to kneel on one knee and held on to the edge of the couch and looked at Mrs. Cheng, "Are you tired?"

Mrs. Cheng looked at her grandson with relief, "I am old, and I have been in good spirits for a long time." ”

Cheng Song stood up and sat on the pestle brought by the maidservant.

"Taichang Temple Lin Shaoqing's wife is Princess Liang's half-sister, and his daughter is Princess Liang's niece, will my father agree to this family business?" Cheng Song finally asked after holding back his question for a long time.

Mrs. Cheng knew that this grandson was a person who broke the casserole and asked the truth, and if he didn't give him an answer, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I turned around and asked Grandpa Guo and Cheng Rong!

"This family discussion is not suddenly decided in a day or two. Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "When the third lady came to protect the media earlier, I wanted to tell Miss Lin to you!"

Cheng Song raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"I know you're not happy!" Old Lady Cheng smiled and tapped Cheng Song with her finger, "King Liang has long expressed his intention to woo your father, and he had the idea of telling you the county lord of Minyi before, but your father refused. This time, I took the relationship between the three rooms, and I used the princess's niece as a matchmaker to our house, if I refused again, I was afraid that it would save King Liang's face. After thinking about it, it happened that your eldest brother was in his twenties and had not yet married a wife, and when he heard that Miss Lin was a well-read and demure girl, he said that it was better to tell Miss Lin to Brother Rong. The third lady didn't know how to say it when she went back, but she agreed. ”

Cheng Song's eyes are obscure!

King Liang doesn't trust the Duke of Lu? Again and again he wants to consolidate the relationship through marriage!
