The engagement was a mess

On July 21st, the Song family was confused by General Mu's sudden marriage proposal.

Aunt He was hurriedly dressing up Qianqian in the backyard, not knowing what kind of character General Mu was.

Qianqian is actually calmer than her aunt. Apart from the initial panic, she now thinks more clearly: "Aunt! Don't panic." Qianqian held her aunt's trembling hand, "This matter must have been arranged by the third sister. That one

I heard that the Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities has a close personal relationship with His Highness."

"Your third sister...are you so kind?"

Song Qianqian looked at her slightly plain Xiaojiabiyu face in the mirror, looking a little lonely: "I am a concubine, and I am not as beautiful as the eldest, second and third sisters. Now my father has resigned, otherwise the literary

The eldest son of the family would not come so quickly to break off the engagement. The third sister must have begged Your Highness, and Your Highness went to General Mu to protect the matchmaker. Could it be that General Mu himself has taken a liking to me?"

Aunt He was a little discouraged when she heard what Song Qianqian said, but she still consoled her: "Don't talk about yourself like that! You are no better than your three sisters. Aunt He thinks you are better behaved and more blessed. You still follow your uncle's example

She has so many skills, whether it is embroidery, playing music, chess, calligraphy or painting, my aunt seems to be no worse than your second and third sisters."

"Stop talking about it, aunt! Third sister's kindness, we have to accept this marriage no matter what."

"But... General Mu is a military man, tall and thick-looking. What if he has a bad temper again and bullies you after marriage?" Aunt He still couldn't help but worry, after all, this was too sudden, and this

General Mu didn't even hire a matchmaker, he just came to the door and announced that he wanted to marry Qianqian. No matter how you looked at it, he felt that it was too casual and frivolous!

"Prince Xu is practicing martial arts, but he doesn't see his eldest sister being bullied. His Highness also practices martial arts, and he doesn't see his third sister being bullied. Auntie, we have to think on the bright side, what if General Mu is someone who loves others?"

Aunt He tied the last hairpin of Qianqian's hairpin and sighed: "Auntie, I'm afraid that your third sister will use you as a pawn to win over His Highness's ministers. If you are bullied in the future, you will have nowhere to complain."

Aunt He thought about her own life experience. The dignified eldest daughter of the He family was given to Song Jianming as a concubine by her grandfather. When she was young, she didn't understand and thought she was marrying some kind of fairy man. Now when she looks back, she is just a handful.

She shed bitter tears and couldn't express her pain. She was afraid that Qianqian would become like her.

Song Qianqian understood her aunt's deepest worries, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes suddenly became determined.

"Auntie, I remember that my third sister cried so miserably when she got married. Do you still remember how she almost fainted from crying? It's not easy for her in the palace, and if His Highness bullies her, she will have no place to complain.

For a person of Your Highness's stature, if the third sister is left out, or falls out of favor, or is even bullied by other concubines in the palace, I am afraid that even my father will not be able to save the third sister."

She turned to look at her aunt: "Aunt, if the third sister can live such a happy life now, there must be some way. I just need to ask the third sister for advice. Don't worry too much. The things that the third sister could do back then,

I can do it too!"

Looking at her daughter's eyes, Aunt He felt that she seemed to have grown up overnight, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Song Qianqian dressed up and prepared to go to the main hall to meet General Mu who had come to propose marriage. She felt that she should have met General Mu at a banquet, but her memory was vague and she couldn't remember what General Mu looked like.

What's it like?

At that time, her attention was all on the Wen family's eldest son. If she had known...then she wouldn't have behaved like that, causing the Wen family to think that she, Song Qianqian, was not married to Wen Shichang!

In the beginning, it was obviously the Wen family who first came to curry favor with their father, but as soon as his father resigned from office, he turned against anyone else!

It’s so deceiving!

Song Qianqian was just sad at first, but now the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes.

People, even if you don’t steam the steamed buns, you still have to fight for your reputation!

In the main hall, Song Jianming looked at Mu Lei's serious face and felt a little anxious. "I agree, it's too hasty. I don't agree because I'm afraid that such a good and rare son-in-law will run away."

In fact, Mu Lei was more nervous than Song Jianming. He clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were sweating!

The future father-in-law has been sizing him up for a long time. Should he agree or not?

What to do if you are rejected?

Even after seeing the faces of the two elders of the Song family this morning, Mu Lei remembered that it was only proper etiquette to invite a matchmaker to visit him first.

"Are you...really interested in my Qianqian?" Song Jianming stared at Mu Lei suspiciously.

Mu Lei nodded honestly: "I was lucky enough to meet him once during the peony banquet at the Princess's mansion on the ninth day of June. I wanted to come earlier to propose marriage, but I never thought that your mansion had already decided on the marriage of the fourth girl. Now that the marriage is gone,

, then... I quickly proposed the marriage."

Mu Lei took another sip of tea. He was tall and had a big mouth, so he drank most of the cup in one sip. Song Quan quickly filled it up for him. He didn't know if it was because his own tea suited the general's taste or something, but he saw it.

Little General Mu has already drank four cups.

Song Jianming pondered, feeling that it would be too hasty to just accept it. Wouldn't it be better to discuss it with Song Qingyue or His Highness first?

Just when he was about to say that he still needed to think about it, Song Qianqian suddenly stepped in and said loudly: "I am willing! Daddy... I... I am willing... I am willing... Daddy, mother."

Suddenly meeting Mu Lei's big bull-like eyes, Song Qianqian's little face suddenly turned red.

She quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding. She shouted so loudly. She was so reckless! So embarrassing! But this little general Mu seemed to be pretty good-looking, quite square. I didn't see it clearly. Do you want to see it again?

One look? So Song Qianqian quietly raised her eyelashes to take another look. When she looked, she found that General Mu was also looking at herself carefully!

He is so serious!

Song Qianqian felt shy, regretful and a little scared for a moment. Her whole body was shaky and her tears were about to fall out.

But in order to gain some ground for herself, she still tried to raise her voice and said firmly: "Father, mother, daughter, if you are willing to marry the general, just agree."

After saying that, he immediately ran out of the hall with small steps.

Mu Lei's heart was also beating wildly, and he suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate. He clamped his legs and nervously took another sip of tea, saying: "Master Song, in this case, Qianqian and I are in love.

Let’s make the marriage arrangements today, shall we?”
