The irrepressible emotions made Song Qiuniang's tears flow unconsciously, "How to make up for it?" How do you say to compensate for it? Such a beautiful second sister, what will she do in the future when she becomes like this? Who will marry her? You say? You say! ”

Meng Tan was a little at a loss by Song Qiuniang's questioning, and stammered before squeezing out a few words: "I, I, there are many classmates, all of whom are excellent in character and learning, and there are always ...... who don't mind their unexpected appearance."

Song Qiuniang was still crying, "What if there is no suitable one?" How many men can there be who don't mind their appearance? Can't my second sister ruin her face and become a scumbag, right? ”

"Then ......" Meng Tan scratched his head, "It's okay if you don't marry." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info me, I study hard, strive for the autumn promotion, and when I have an official and a half-job, I have a good fortune, even if the second lady doesn't marry, let's raise her, is this okay? ”

Song Qiuniang felt better in her heart, and stopped sobbing a little, "That also depends on whether my second sister is willing or not." ”

Although it was still provocative, his tone had softened a lot. Meng Tan rarely heard the nuances, and when he was happy, he was busy and promised: "Qiu Niang, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to earn money, so that you and the second miss can live a good life!" ”

"You unfilial son! My mother is here, I don't honor my mother, but I go to unrelated people to be courteous, how can I raise such an unfilial son as you! Meng Mu's mournful voice interrupted the conversation between Meng Tan and the two.

"Mother!" Meng Tan was shocked, "Why are you here?" Are you not feeling well and don't have much to rest in bed? ”

Meng Mu walked in front of Meng Tan in three or two steps, and scolded with a cold face: "I'm afraid that if I lie down again, I'm afraid that you won't know what to do if you turn against the sky!" ”

"Mother, what are you talking about! What can I do? Out of the corner of Meng Tan's eyes, he saw that Song Qiuniang was frightened by Meng Mu's momentum, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

"You secretly ran to Lord Zhou and asked him to help the Song family for the sake of your father's death in the line of duty, do you think I don't know? Meng Tan! I really didn't expect you to use your father to talk about things, just for a woman who doesn't know how to check! Don't you feel ashamed? ”

"Who said that our young lady was indecent!" Cui'er couldn't bear to see her master cowering, and stood up in front of Song Qiuniang, "This lady, our young lady is innocent now!" The previous rumors have been clarified! Please pay more attention to what you say! ”

"Cui'er, don't talk about it." Song Qiuniang was afraid of many things, so she pulled the maid's sleeve and begged.

"Who are you? It's just a subordinate, what do you interject when the masters speak! Mother Meng was reprimanded by a little girl, and she was also very angry.

"My master is surnamed Song, is this lady also surnamed Song?" Cui'er has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she will not give in at all.

"You!" Meng Mu glared angrily, and took a deep breath before returning to her normal expression, "Meng Tan, look at this girl, she speaks so rudely, it must be that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, how good can the master be?" Although our Meng family is down, it is also a scholarly family, and it should not have married the daughter of a merchant in the first place, and now these things have happened, which is enough to prove that if you marry her, you will not have peace. When your father was alive, he hoped to see you raise the glorious lintel, marry a satisfactory wife, and live a peaceful life as a family, but if you have to marry her, don't you want to find trouble for the family? How does your father rest under the Nine Springs? ”

Meng's mother brought out her deceased husband to persuade Meng Tan, hoping to use her husband's residual power to suppress her son's thoughts. Unexpectedly, Meng Tan didn't cooperate this time, and said firmly: "Mother, someone deliberately dealt with the Song family before, and only then did the rumors spread to slander Qiu Niang." Our family did not recognize it in time, but came to the door to withdraw from the family, which is already a loss, and now the rumors have been broken, and we have not corrected it in time, isn't it a joke? The most important thing for a gentleman is faithfulness, and he still keeps his promise to his friends, let alone a marriage contract? Mother, if we really cherish our family reputation, we should bear the guilt and ask the Song family for forgiveness. ”

"However, you have helped them before, if you hadn't taken our family favor to invite Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou might not have helped." Meng Mu held on to her face, she just didn't want to admit her mistakes, but her confidence was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

"Although I invited Mr. Zhou out in the name of my father, didn't Mr. Zhou have any plans in my heart? Can this help be helped, doesn't he know in his heart? If he really doesn't want to help, he can shirk it, and I can't help him. Mother, Lord Zhou's willingness to come forward already shows the importance of the Song family. Mother, although our family has a reputation for being a scholarly family, if it is really compared with the Song family, it may not have a good reputation! ”

Meng Mu looked at him deeply, "You, do you really want this family business?" Even if my mother doesn't agree, can't I? ”

Meng Tan nodded heavily, "Yes, mother." I don't marry Qiu Niang. ”

Song Qiuniang blushed and her heart beat when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything, she only raised her eyes and looked at Meng Tan fixedly.

Could it be that this family business will really come full circle? Song Qiuniang unconsciously had a little expectation in her heart.

Meng Mu looked at Meng Tan, then at Song Qiuniang, and then said faintly: "Then let's decide it first." ”

"Great!" Meng Tan, who had received his mother's approval, was so happy that a red light appeared on his face, "Qiu Niang, let's, we can be together again!" ”

Things changed too fast, Song Qiuniang couldn't react, and stood dumbfounded.

"Who said your family affair was decided?" Song Chunniang came back, and saw several people gathered at the door of her house from afar, and when she took a look, she realized that it was Meng Tan's mother and son and her third sister.

"Big sister!" Song Qiuniang saw the savior and ran over.

"Gongzi Meng, Mrs. Meng, you were treacherous and came to my house to withdraw from your relatives, which made the family restless. Although it was affected by rumors, as in-laws, don't you have any trust in each other? Now that the rumors have subsided, you guys come over again, stand at the gate of my house, and say a few words casually to get engaged? How did I never know that courtship was such a thing? ”

Meng Tan's face turned pale for a while, lowered his head, and said several words in a row: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”

Meng's mother was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't even make waves in her tone: "Miss Song, I admit that our Meng family listened to the rumors and misunderstood your family and Miss Song San, which is our fault." However, our Meng family has always regarded itself as strict and self-disciplined, and after the death of her late husband for so many years, there has not been a trace of rumors. But before, the neighbors criticized me and even came to my house to talk nonsense, I was really a widow, and more importantly, I couldn't let my children be affected. I made the decision to quit the family, not impulsively, but after careful consideration. Meng Tan was filial to me, so he obeyed the decision. Now, the rumors have dissipated, and Meng Tan insists on marrying Miss Song San, and as a mother-in-law, I can't ignore my son's feelings. Since we want to bring up family affairs again, we will not be perfunctory, and we will inevitably come to the door as ceremoniously as we did at the beginning. ”

Song Chunniang hooked the corners of her mouth, "Okay, then I'll wait for Mrs. Meng to come to the door!" ”

Neither said yes or no, Meng's mother's face sank, Song Chunniang ignored it, and took Song Qiuniang's hand, "Third sister, even if you are at the door of your own house, you shouldn't show your head and talk to a foreign man, so as not to be accused and criticized by rules and regulations, let's go, let's go in." Mrs. Meng, Mr. Meng, farewell. ”

After speaking, he dragged Song Qiuniang and left.

It wasn't until the door closed that Meng Tan came back to his senses, took Meng's mother's hand and said, "Mother, let's go back too." ”

Meng Mu shook off his hand, "Look, you whispered down and begged others, your mother could talk badly, but people didn't give a word, and finally put down the ridicule, do you think it's still necessary to marry his girl?" ”

Meng Tan was extremely firm: "Mother, I really like Qiu Niang, just promise me about this matter." ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruomu, Meng Tan's expression and eyes fully showed his thoughts, Meng Mu sighed, "Okay, I depend on you, but I also remind you that this family business may not be a good thing, if there is anything wrong in the future, don't blame me." ”

"Mother, Qiu Niang is a good girl, I believe she will get along well with you in the future, and there will be no inappropriateness." Meng Tan assured again, "Moreover, the previous thing is indeed that I failed her, if I don't make a little remedy, then I will be a man in vain." ”

"Okay, I'll find a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow, and it depends on God's will whether it will be successful or not."

"Thank you for your success!" Meng Tan bowed deeply to Meng Mu.

On the second day, the Meng family came to propose marriage again, and with the previous dowry, Meng's mother went to the door.

Mrs. Song still hated her previous retreat, and said that she was unwell, so she avoided it, so she just pushed the matter to Master Song.

Master Song and Mrs. Meng talked behind closed doors for a while, and finally confiscated the dowry.

Meng Mu took away the dowry as it was, her face was still as indifferent as ever, and she didn't seem to be angry.

Song Qiuniang was anxiously waiting for news in the house, but without waiting for the result, a mother-in-law came to pass the word, saying that Master Song wanted to see her.

Song Qiuniang didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed the mother-in-law to the study. Along the way, she was apprehensive.

Playing small, Song Qiuniang and Master Song are not close, there are few opportunities to meet alone, and Song Qiuniang is still a little afraid of her father, so she called herself at this juncture, and I don't know what is going on.

"Third Miss, the old slave will lead you here, the master is waiting inside, you can go in."

Song Qiuniang came back to her senses, thanked the mother-in-law, and knocked on the door and entered the house after making up her mind.

"Daddy, are you looking for me?" Song Qiuniang stood solemnly not far from Master Song, and stood respectfully after saluting.

Master Song frowned unconsciously, this daughter is the quietest among several children, and she is also a child that she has neglected for a long time, how long has it been since she took a good look at this child? Why is she so afraid of herself?

"Qiu Niang, come here." Master Song beckoned her and asked her to sit beside her.

Song Qiuniang let out an "oh" and walked over quickly with her head down.

"Qiu Niang," Master Song tried to communicate in the most amiable tone, "what do you think of the Meng family's family affairs?" Their family is proposing marriage again today, and I want to know if you still want to marry into their family. ”

Song Qiuniang didn't expect Master Song to come to ask for her opinion, so she was stunned and didn't say anything.
