Song Ke didn't expect Xianglan to ask like this, and fell silent for a while. Xianglan waited for a while, and seeing that Song Ke still hadn't answered, her heart slowly sank, she withdrew her hand from Song Ke's palm, and said with a forced smile: "You shouldn't be here for too long, just go back." ”

Song Ke hurriedly grabbed Xianglan's hand and said, "You and me...... After a while, I will slowly mention it to my mother. ”

Xianglan raised her head suddenly, and when she saw Song Ke looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help blushing slightly, and hesitated: "You ......"

Song Ke stretched out his fingers and scraped the bridge of her nose, and said, "Before going to Beijing, I will invite a matchmaker to propose marriage." ”

Xianglan only felt a warm fire in her heart, she wanted to say it but couldn't say it, her tears were about to turn out, there was a bitterness in her heart, and there was even more joy, like a little bird squeaking and was about to fly out of her heart.

Song Ke stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, why are you crying?" Tears of joy? ”

Xianglan Shi realized that she had already burst into tears, and hurriedly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, raised her face, and smiled at Song Ke.

This smile was like the rising sun, scorching the lotus flower, which made Song Ke a little stupid. Originally, he was extremely hesitant in his heart, and since he ordered the second-class message, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing learned that he had not yet married a wife, and they vied with each other to hire someone to be a matchmaker, and there were also some high-ranking nobles. If it was the original, he would definitely choose a family with a good character, and his father-in-law would have something to rely on, and find a backer for his career. But somehow, every time I think of this, I think of pandan. He always felt that Xianglan was his wife in his previous life, but he drank Meng Po soup and forgot about the past, but because of fate, he came to find him in this life. He was originally grateful and respectful to the Shen family, but now he repaid Xianglan even more, and loved her for being smart and lovely, so he couldn't let it go.

Today, Xianglan asked him how he decided, and he wanted to say that he would let him think about it for a few more days, but when he saw Xianglan's disappointed look, his heart moved, and he unconsciously said such a thing. After rushing out, he vaguely regretted it, but at this moment, seeing Xianglan so happy, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with marrying Xianglan like this - how many children of the poor family married bad wives, and they also survived step by step, and he Song Ke was not three points shorter than others, and with his own strength, he would definitely be able to make a career.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xianglan was just about to tell him about his past life, but he heard Mung Bean whisper through the door: "Uncle, the aunt of the Chen family is coming out of the neighborhood." ”

Song Ke hurriedly said, "I'll leave first, and I'll come back in a few days." With that, he opened the door and walked away.

The corners of Xianglan's mouth raised a smile, picked a rose flower and inserted it in her hair, humming a song and going to the house, leaving it at that.

said that Song Ke rode back to Song's house, and when he entered the door, he saw Juan Hua asking him to go to Aunt Song's room. As soon as Aunt Song saw Song Ke, she said, "Where did you go, come here, you haven't been at home for so long, I have a few things to discuss with you." ”

Song Ke sat down and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Aunt Song smiled and said, "Sister Xian of the Xianguo family, have you seen it, how do you feel?" ”

Song Ke was stunned.

Aunt Song said: "This time, you sent a lot of congratulatory gifts to the title of the gold list, and their wife and aunt also came, and praised you greatly. Zheng Baichuan was very unoptimistic about Song Ke, but Zheng Jingxian pestered him every day to be coquettish and stupid, saying that Song Ke was good, and now Song Ke ordered Jinshi again, Zheng Baichuan saw that he had such a creation at a young age, and he saw that he was a material that could be made, and he would carry a handful in his career in the future, and he was also a son who could seal his wife, plus he doted on Zheng Jingxian very much, knowing that she was arrogant and arrogant, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get into the eyes, and now it was easy to see one, and it was not that she had no future, so she acquiesced in her heart.

Song Ke lowered his head, raised his face for a while and said, "The young lady of the Zheng family is still a childish mess, and she is still a little willful, I don't like it very much." ”

Aunt Song said casually: "Hey, pampered girl, some little tempers are also reasonable, just teach them slowly in the future." I'm good at her, well-informed. ”

Song Keyan said: "Didn't my mother forget the time when we were orphans and widows? As soon as my father died, he went to the tea and cooled, and the prince of Xianguo didn't even come to the serious burial, and I asked to come to the door because of the separation of the family, but he didn't even see him. I really can't marry his daughter with such an old grudge. ”

Aunt Song was deflated when she heard Song Ke say this, and sighed: "Alas, it makes sense to say this, I just think that Sister Xian'er is a good one, and the family is also ......."

Song Ke said in a soft voice: "There is a saying that 'marry a wife and marry low, and marry a daughter and marry high', marry a daughter-in-law like this, and the mother will call and not move, wouldn't you want to be a mother." ”

Aunt Song said with a smile: "What do I ask others to do, as long as you two are good, I am willing to let me be a cow and a horse." Seeing that Song Ke shouldn't do this, she was faintly disappointed in her heart, and she expected to persuade slowly in the future, so she paused and said, "There is one more thing." Out of the New Year, a matchmaker came to the door to propose to Sister Tan'er, who was the only son of Wu Youwei, the only son of the Zhejiang Patrol Wu Youwei. I heard that it was a patrol of the adult's house, and it was still very decent, but I asked a few women in the Lin family, and they all said that they should take a good look at their character. After all, it's our family's business, and people don't talk much, but seeing that they are talking hesitantly, I am also hanging in my heart...... Later, that Wuliang came to the door once, and prepared a lot of things, I saw that he was not very tall, but he was decent and spirited, and his mouth was sweet and tight, so I was worried about whether he was a slippery ...... I heard that the family planned to donate to an official, and he also said that he had land and land, lived in a three-entry house, and a small garden. ”

Song Ke groaned slightly, and said: "Zhejiang Patrol, the official position is not big, but he has real power, and he can go directly to the Holy Hearing." The door is decent, but this black light doesn't know what the character is, so I'll ask someone to inquire when I go back. ”

Aunt Song nodded again and again.

Song Ke went to visit Lin's house the next day, and after meeting the elders, he had tea with Lin Jinting. Talking about Wu Liang's proposal for marriage, Lin Jinting said with a smile: "It turns out that Wu Liang moved his heart and actually proposed his marriage to your house." This kid has always played with flowers, and he fell in love with his cousin, but it was the first time he had a vision. ”

When Song Ke heard this, he furrowed his brows and asked, "'Game Flowers', what do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Jinting said: "It's just that there is a romantic name, there have been a few friends in the hook column, and he is a person who loves to eat wine and play money." But he is not a mediocre person, his brain is very shrewd, and he looks at his father as a little pedantic, he is indeed a person who can collect money, and he has earned a lot of silver under the banner of his Lao Tzu, and he can eat up and down. A few days ago, I caught a salt merchant who sold smuggled salt, and the minimum sentence was to be allocated, and the salt merchant somehow took the line of Wu Liang, Wu Liang was also black-hearted, and almost let him pay half of his filial piety to the family property, and then walked up and down, guess what, the salt merchant went home in two days, and found another unlucky egg to be guilty, although the unlucky egg was also guilty of small illegal salt, but who would have expected that there would be such a big deal, and the family would go bankrupt for him, and finally bent into a trick and sent to Zhangzhou, and the case was concluded. ”

Song Ke sank his face and said, "This thing is not good, does Wuliang still have the Heavenly Principle King Law?" The toad wants to eat swan meat, and such a character can't marry his sister to him! Otherwise, not only will my mother and sister complain about me for the rest of my life, but it would be shameful enough to be a relative of such a person. I don't have half the ability, but I am ruthless and calculating, and I am just a prodigal, pulling his old son to be a big banner, corrupt and pervert the law, and be a traitor, and sooner or later there will be a day when I will fold in. There is a saying that 'the son does not teach, the father's fault', and his father even indulged him. ”

Lin Jinting said: "Wu Youwei has a middle-aged child, and he is like a baby with eyeballs, and he is reluctant to take care of it...... And Wu Youwei is busy with government affairs, and Wu Liang is a person who can coax people to behave, but I am afraid that his father will not know about the good things he has committed outside. Yifei, if he refuses to find a better way to say it, this person will repay him, don't be worried. ”

Song Ke smiled: "I know, and thank you for telling the truth." He said it again and took his leave. Later, it was deduced that Song Tanchai was still young, and Song Ke had not yet discussed marriage, so he could not cross over, so he rejected the Wu family.

This was the end of the matter. It's just that when drinking tea in the study that day, Lin Jinting's little servant Lu'er was serving tea next to him and listened to the conversation between the two. Lu'er is a person who has no bundle in his mouth, and later got drunk outside, and told others about it with oil and vinegar, at that time it was just a joke, who thought that this matter would spread out, and it was blown into Wu Liang's ears, Wu Liang jumped up angrily, and said secretly: "Okay, you are Song Ke, but you are just a little official who has just been admitted to the Jinshi, what is 'toad wants to eat swan meat'?" Dare to blatantly not take your Uncle Wu in his eyes, spread rumors everywhere that I am so unbearable, see that I seize the opportunity to rectify you, and let you know that I am amazing! "I secretly hold a grudge in my heart.

No further ado.

Song Ke returned home, and in the past few days, he was busy socializing every day, and selling the property, thinking about how to talk to Aunt Song about mentioning Xianglan, and he was so busy that he was very busy, and there was something in his busyness. It turned out that Song Ke wanted to sell a Zhuangzi in Jinling, and the buyer called Li Jia, who had already negotiated the price, who wanted Li Jia to regret it again, and wanted to buy it at a low price, the Song family naturally did not sell, Li Jia came to the door to make trouble, sprinkling and rolling, and there was a dispute between the words, and the Song family's steward missed Li Jia and injured Li Jia. Song Ke hurriedly prepared gifts to visit, and Li Jia died down after getting the benefits.

Originally, it was good that a turmoil was exposed, but who would have thought that rumors would spread outside in a few days, saying that Song Ke was "not strict in discipline, indulged in sexual indulgence and servants", "bullied others, and oppressed the people", Song Ke only thought that someone was bored and made trouble, because the rumors damaged his reputation somewhat, so he personally prepared gifts and visited Li Jia's home. Then Li Jia turned Song Ke away, and repeatedly declared how innocent he was to the outside world.

What Song Ke didn't expect was that this matter provoked the imperial historian to write a letter of impeachment, pointing out that he was "rampant and unusable". Song Ke had no foundation in the court, and the young man Dengke had already aroused the jealousy of many people, so for a while, a lot of ghosts and charms jumped out and waited for the opportunity to fall into the ground. Naturally, there are righteous people in the DPRK and China who speak for Song Ke, and there are even people with ulterior motives who use this to attack political opponents. For a while, this small dispute over right and wrong sparked a spark and intensified. RS
