CHAPTER XXXVI

Master Song thought she was afraid, so he slowed down his speech and said again: "You don't have to be nervous and afraid, this is your lifelong event, Daddy hopes that you can marry the person you want to marry, don't make compromises." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

It was the first time for Master Song to speak to Song Qiuniang like this, Song Qiuniang was excited for a while, her hands unconsciously wrung the corners of her clothes, and said, "I, I, I listen to my father." ”

"Forehead......" Master Song was speechless, the other three daughters were all the type of what to say, and he was helpless when he met Song Qiuniang such a stuffy gourd, "I think Meng Tan is a good person, although he listened to his mother's advice before and quit his family, but later he also helped clarify the rumors, and then in order to ask for our forgiveness, he repeatedly came to our door to guard." Generally speaking, he is affectionate, and if he has no feelings for you, he will not do it in the future. Qiu Niang, do you have feelings for Meng Tan? ”

Song Qiuniang's face was flushed, and her head was buried lower, "I, Daddy, I ......"

"It's okay, you tell the truth, I'm your father, I won't blame you."

Only then did Song Qiuniang muster up her courage: "Meng Gongzi is a good person, but the second sister's face is ruined because of me, if I still marry Meng Gongzi, is it unfair to the second sister?" ”

Master Song sighed, "You can't blame Meng Tan for your second sister's matter, you can only blame the girl from the Deng family." Besides, if your second sister's temperament is very opinionated with Meng Tan, she will not let him help clarify the rumors. You just have to choose your family according to your own heart, and you don't have to worry about your second sister. ”

Song Xianiang is a person who must repay her teeth, if she really has an opinion on Meng Tan, she will indeed not accept his help.

Song Qiuniang thought about it and figured it out a little, but she was still entangled, always feeling that her happiness was based on the pain of her sisters, she gritted her teeth, and finally said: "Daddy, I don't want to get married, I want to take care of the second sister, otherwise how pitiful will she be alone in the future?" ”

"Who said I was pitiful? Who told you to take care of me? Song Xianiang pushed the door in, and I don't know when she stood at the door.

"Second sister, why are you here?" Song Qiuniang was surprised.

"It's been a while. Enough to listen to your conversation. Song Xianiang pouted and sat straight to the other side of Master Song, "Daddy, you can marry her, she tortures herself every day, and she can't stand me if she wants to make up for me, I can't stand it!" ”

"Second sister, I'm sorry......" Song Qiuniang looked at Song Xianiang with tears in her eyes.

"Look, here we go again. Third sister, you are always like this, and my mood is not good. Every day I think about how pitiful I am, and I have to rely on others to survive. If it goes on like this, I'm depressed. Third sister, you're doing a good thing for me and harming me......"

Song Xianiang was half mocking and half joking, thinking about smiling according to her usual habits, but because of the scars on her face, she couldn't squeeze it out.

Master Song looked uncomfortable in his heart, took his beloved daughter's hand and said, "Why did you run out and not rest in the house much?" ”

"If you rest any longer, it will rust. Daddy, you don't want to see me just because I'm ugly, do you? Song Xianiang looked injured.

"How is that possible!" Master Song hugged his daughter in his arms in distress, "In the eyes of my father, you will always be the most beautiful daughter." ”

"But the third sister is still worried that I won't be able to get married, and she will take care of me for the rest of my life!"

Song Qiuniang's tears were about to fall: "No, second sister, I didn't dislike you, I just did something wrong and wanted to make amends." ”

Master Song also hurriedly reassured: "How can the daughter of the Song family not get married?" If I let it go, how many people will line up to marry you! We'll have to pick and choose! If you can't pick the right one, it's no problem for your dad to raise you for a lifetime. ”

Song Xianiang curled the corners of her mouth and broke free from Master Song's arms, "The third sister heard it, I don't have any worries at all." Don't worry about me. For the Meng family's family affairs, you just follow your heart, marry if you want, and don't marry if you don't want to. ”

"But ......" Song Qiuniang's face was still struggling.

Song Xianiang ignored her, and said to Master Song again: "Daddy, don't you always treat me as a glass doll, isn't it just that there are more scars on your face?" It's not that I lack arms and legs, I will live as well as before, and I will rub you for the rest of my life. ”

Master Song was relieved and scratched her nose, "Daddy, you can rub it as you like." ”

Song Xianiang didn't forget her sister's lifelong event, glanced at Song Qiuniang, and asked, "Third sister, how are you thinking about it?" Do you want to get married? ”

Song Qiuniang's face was embarrassed, and she stopped talking.

"Qiu Niang, if you have anything to say, you will tell the truth." Master Song looked at her lovingly.

Song Qiuniang twisted her handkerchief, smacked her lips, and struggled for a moment before saying, "I, I, I really don't know, daddy, you are in charge......

When it comes to this, Song Qiuniang is still hesitant and can't make up her mind, which can only show that she is too indecisive.

Master Song couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although the marriage contract of his children was decided by his parents, but he still wanted to give his daughter as many choices as possible, and Song Qiuniang was obviously unwilling to make this choice.

"Daddy, Qiu Niang didn't say she didn't want to, you just watch it."

Master Song didn't know Song Qiuniang, but Song Xianiang knew a little.

If Song Qiuniang is still unwilling, she will inevitably refuse, but now, she didn't say she agreed or disagreed, in fact, she didn't exclude it. It's just that she is thin-skinned and can't speak.

Old Man Song's mind turned, and he was a little clear, stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, then I'll look at it." ”

On the second day, Meng's mother came to the door again, with a dowry that was a little heavier than before, and Meng Tan came to propose marriage very formally.

Although he knew his daughter's intentions, Master Song didn't want to agree to his relatives so happily, and deliberately made it difficult for a few points, so he pointed out that the Meng family's family background was not good, and Meng Tan was the eldest son, how would he support the faΓ§ade in the future?

Meng Tan immediately expressed his determination, and he would work hard to pass the examination, find an official and a half-job, and let Song Qiuniang live a good life.

No matter what the future holds, Meng Tan's sincere attitude satisfies Master Song, thinking about Song Qiuniang's cowardly and soft temperament, he should find an honest man, if he marries into those solid but complex families, it is not good.

In this way, Master Song was more satisfied with Meng Tan.

Then Meng's mother also said that she would treat Qiu Niang well, and also took out the bracelet passed down by the Meng family to her daughter-in-law as a gift for Song Qiu Niang.

Between the words, the attitude is much better than before, maybe Meng Tan's persistence made her mother give in and compromise, right?

All in all, the Meng family's performance this time was good, and Master Song also had the heart to agree to the family affair again, the two families were polite, had a pleasant conversation, and then finalized the family affair, and this meeting could be regarded as a perfect ending.

Before leaving, Meng Tan said solemnly: "Master Song, I will go to Beijing to catch the exam in a few ****, please tell Qiu Niang, let her take care of herself, I will definitely come back with good news." ”

After negotiating the family matter, Master Song looked at him like a prospective son-in-law again, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "You have to pay more attention when you go out, and the affairs of the imperial examination should go with the flow, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Qiu Niang will not have anything to do at home. ”

Meng Tan nodded heavily: "Thank you, Master Song." ”

The news of the engagement soon spread to the inner courtyard, and Song Dongniang and Song Xianiang both came to congratulate Song Qiuniang.

"I didn't expect the third sister to have such a fate with Meng Gongzi, and she still settled on his family after going around and around." Thinking of the previous ups and downs, Song Dongniang sighed for a while.

Song Qiuniang is faint, after all, this time the engagement has gone through twists and turns, even if the person has not changed, the mood is different.

"I didn't expect this result, I can only say that fate is destined."

"I don't know where my fate is......" Song Dongniang lay on the bed and was melancholy.

Song Xianiang said coldly: "Yo, the fourth sister is also starting to want to get married?" ”

Song Dongniang's face turned red, and she bent her neck to defend: "What's the matter!" I'll just tell you, how can you keep thinking about it? ”

"Where am I deluding? Obviously you just said that. How? Forget about it? You don't have a good temperament, and if you don't change it, you don't know which son can stand it. ”

"Humph! What's wrong with me? You can't get married! The temperament is so bad, if it weren't for the good looks of the face......" Song Dongniang reacted and said the wrong thing, her voice disappeared immediately, and she didn't know what to say.

Song Qiuniang immediately changed the topic: "It's autumn, the weather is cool, let's talk to our mother one day, let's go to the suburbs to play in Zhuangzi." ”

"Yes, yes, I want to go too......" Song Dongniang also said. The two cheered each other on the stage and tried to hold up the scene.

Song Xianiang suddenly felt very bored, since she was disfigured, her family has been very careful about herself, and she is very evasive in what she says and does, even Song Dongniang, a big leak who is open-mouthed, speaks forward-looking.

Although she understands that this is the painstaking work of her family and is afraid that she will be unhappy, she is always treated like this, which makes Song Xianiang feel very awkward, as if she wants to forget all this, but there are always people around her to remind her of her sorrow.

It's really uncomfortable.

Song Xianiang felt suffocated for a while, and couldn't help but stand up.

"Second sister, why did you stand up? Uncomfortable? Song Qiuniang immediately cared.

Here it is again, and this pitiful and caring look again.

Song Xianiang said coldly: "It's okay, I'll go back, you continue to talk." With that, he walked out.

"Fourth sister, you're too careless when you speak!" As soon as Song Xianiang went out on her hind feet, Song Qiuniang began to educate her sister.

Song Dongniang pouted unhappily, "I've already paid attention!" Whoever asked her to provoke me, she was hurt like this, and she spoke so harshly, I was already very patient! ”

"The second sister has always spoken like this, but she treats our sisters with a good heart, otherwise she wouldn't be hurt for me. Fourth sister, we can't help her, so let's make her more comfortable. Otherwise, the second sister is really pitiful......"

Song Qiuniang said as she spoke, tears were about to flow down again.

"Okay," Song Dongniang deflated, "I'll pay more attention in the future..."

Song Qiuniang put away her tears and nodded with a smile: "That's the best, our sisters must love each other." ”
