Song was reconciling accounts in the inner room, and the abacus beads under his hand made a crisp sound.

"Madam, the second girl is here." Fangju entered the inner room.

Song immediately felt his heartstrings tighten, but he hurriedly said: "Tell her to wait outside first, and wait until I finish settling this account......"

She was worried that after talking to her daughter, if she was stimulated again, she would have to slow down, and she would definitely not have the heart to settle any more accounts.

Song thought precautionally.

Zhang Meishou didn't notice his mother's worried heart, and when he got the words, he sat outside and waited peacefully, talking to Ah Hao on the side.

For fear of disturbing her mother, who was busy with business, her voice was lowered.

After a quarter of an hour, Fang Ju walked over.

"Girl, madam, please go in and talk to the inner room."

Zhang Meishou nodded, and then got up and walked to the inner room.

As soon as the Song family sorted out the account book, when they saw their daughter come in to salute, they withdrew all the maids in the house—it was Aunt Zhao, who also went out.

Zhang Meishou sniffed out an unusual breath.

"Does the mother have anything to say to her daughter alone?" The girl asked with a slightly puzzled look in her eyes.

"Sit down first." Song gestured to the chair next to him.

Zhang Meishou sat down as he said.

"The Dingguo Mansion intends to marry our Zhang family...... Song Shi spoke at this time, his voice low but clear.

Zhang Meishou was surprised to hear it.

The Dingguo Mansion wants to marry their Zhang family?

Isn't it...... Did you fall in love with her eldest brother?

Who is that for? - Is it Wanxi, or is it a cousin in Wanxi's family?

Zhang Meishou was thinking about it, and he heard Song say bluntly: "Dingguo Mansion, I have taken a fancy to you...... Yesterday, it was Mama Hua by the Duchess of Dingguo who came to mention it to your grandmother in person. ”

“……”

Zhang Meishou couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did this fire suddenly burn on itself?

"It was mentioned for Xu Ergongzi...... Your grandmother said that the Dingguo Mansion intended to mention you as the wife of the main house. As Song spoke, he looked at his daughter's expression.

But she waited for a long time, and she didn't see the slightest hint of joy.

Even...... Still seems a little helpless?

Seeing that his daughter's mouth came to her mouth, but she was embarrassed to sigh, Song already had the answer in her heart.

“……”

There was an eerie silence in all directions, and the mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment.

"Mother, I don't want to get married."

The girl opened her mouth, and although her tone was not heavy, there was no room for half a minute to turn around.

Song was silent for a while, without accusation or persuasion, but just asked, "Mother wants to know the reason, are you willing to say it?" ”

In terms of family background, looking at the capital, I am afraid that few families can surpass the Dingguo Mansion, and the second son of Xu, as the eldest son of the Dingguo Prince, will definitely inherit the Dingguo Mansion in the future.

When the daughter marries, she is the wife of the main house.

If you talk about people, Xu Ergongzi has changed his reputation in Yongfang in recent years, and he will not be able to become a great talent in the future, but he was born here, and he doesn't have to worry about his future at all.

And this family affair was mentioned by the Dingguo Mansion on its own initiative, and it was full of sincerity.

Of course, there are good and bad sides to everything, and there are naturally drawbacks.

It's just that such a family affair is indeed rare to be measured from the eyes of the world.

But the daughter didn't want to think about it, so she didn't want to marry......

The Song family is not very optimistic about this family business, and she wants to promote it - she wants to use this matter more to find out her daughter's true thoughts.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the girl next to her turned around and hugged her, putting her forehead on her shoulder.

The girl opened her mouth and said in a serious tone: "Mother, the matter of marriage should be the order of the parents, and the daughter should never be dedicated to herself—but the daughter has promised someone to accompany him." ”

She wanted to be with him.

I also want to be accompanied by him.

Song's body was slightly stiff.

She didn't expect her daughter to be so direct, and she would be so clear with her, without even the slightest concealment and avoidance.

"Is it Peace?" Song asked with a sigh.

The person her Zhen Zhen really wants to marry-

"Yes."

The girl's voice was soft but powerful.

Hearing this unsurprising answer, Song closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he said in a complicated tone: "Did you make up your mind early in the morning, and then you didn't want to consider the Dingguo Mansion?" ”

Zhang Meishou shook his head.

"With or without His Highness, I will not nod my head in agreement."

She only marries the person she really wants to marry, and the second son of the Xu family is just a gentle brother to her, just a young man who lives in the same Xiaoyongfang.

She has always known what she wants, and her choice must be based on her heart, not from comparison.

Besides, she is not qualified to compare others, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness, and Second Prince Xu is Second Prince Xu.

The people she likes, in her mind, are naturally the best.

But what she doesn't like doesn't mean it's bad.

To put it in layman's terms, it's just that there is no fate.

“……”

Song understood the meaning of his daughter's words, and sighed slightly: "In fact, your father and I have no intention of agreeing to the family affairs of the Dingguo Mansion......"

She and her husband have also thought it through.

Even mother-in-law, too.

Although the Dingguo Mansion is good, it is not suitable for Zhenzhen.

But in the hearts of her and her husband, the Dingguo Mansion is not suitable, and the palace is even more unsuitable.

"What did Anke secretly promise you?" Song asked with mixed feelings.

Even if it is safe, the identity of the prince is too heavy for them-

The position of the crown princess is still vacant, and she has secretly heard recently that the imperial court is now preparing for the draft......

She didn't want her daughter to compete and calculate like this.

Zhang Meishou said noncommittally: "Mother, between me and him, there is no need for this. Now, I want to ask my father and mother for their consent. ”

She could have just waited and dragged on until that day.

At that time, father and mother were destined to have no way to refuse.

In contrast, she thinks she should tell her parents first and try to get their consent — she knows it won't be easy, but she wants to do it.

As a second girl who is sincerely loved and tolerated by her elders in the Zhang family, this is also something she must do if she is reasonable and reasonable.

"Don't blame your mother for not clinging to you, but mother ...... I really can't agree to this. Song's eyes were slightly red, and he said bitterly: "You are still young now, and you are not so thoughtful, have you ever thought about what kind of problems you will face in the future, what kind of situation?" If one day, his heart is no longer in you, and you are alone in the deep palace, who can you rely on? ”

Every time she thought of this, she felt that her heart was being grabbed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she just wanted to cry.

She wanted to hear how her daughter would answer, whether it would be the same as she was back then—
