388 The token of love (2 more)
"Old lady, madam..."
The maid ran into the house, "Master, you have someone bring Mr. Song here."
"What!"
The wife of Dingguo Duke was surprised. She knew that Duke Dingguo went to the government office and thought that he was just going to support Song Si, so why did he bring the person back? And he even asked someone to bring him to Yao'er's place.
Qin was also very surprised. Before he could say anything, the housekeeper's report had already sounded in the courtyard, "Old lady, madam, the master asked me to bring Mr. Song to see Miss Sun."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and Qin hurriedly dropped the veiled bed curtain to cover Xiao Yao, while the wife of Dingguo went to the painting hall outside, "Please invite Mr. Song in."
The housekeeper led Song Si in.
Qin also came out of the inner room, and the eyes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell on Song Si at the same time. Even if Gu Yi said that Song Si was so good, they made up their minds to marry Xiao Yao to Song Si, but they were still uneasy. Until the moment they saw Song Si, their hearts were completely at ease.
"This is our old lady, madam."
Introduction to the housekeeper.
"I've met the old lady, madam."
Song Si bowed, and the young man's body was slightly bent, but his back was straight and his attitude was just right. He did not deliberately please him, nor did he feel dwarf because of his identity.
The two of them immediately fell in love, and the wife of Dingguo Duke was so happy that she couldn't stop talking, with a smile in her voice, "Young Master Song is here..."
Duke Ding did not ask someone to deliver the letter in advance. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not know that Duke Ding had invited Mr. Xu to come and serve as a mediator for Song Si.
"Song Si was able to save his life in the morning with Miss Xiao's rescue. Here we come to thank him. There are a few more words to ask Miss Xiao in person."
"Go, Yao'er is inside."
"Thank you, Mrs.
Song Si walked into the inner room.
Hearing his footsteps, Xiao Yao's heart thumped quickly, and her body was filled with blood almost pouring on her face, and she could still drip with blood. At this moment, she was very glad that there was a bed curtain, and Song Si could not see her red face.
When Song Si stepped in, he saw that there was no maid in the room. He felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to withdraw. A faint smell of medicine floated into his nose, and his feet that he wanted to step out suddenly stopped.
Xiao Yao held her breath and listened to the movement outside.
After a long time, the unique voice of the boy rang clearly in the house, "Ms. Xiao, I am Song Si. Today I am thanking you for your rescue in the West City."
"It's just a matter of raising hands, Mr. Song doesn't have to take it to heart."
Xiao Yao's voice came from the bed curtain, with a little weakness.
Thinking of the words that Duke Ding said that her arm might be disabled if she couldn't keep it well, Song Si felt nervous, "Is Miss Xiao better?"
"It's much better, don't worry, young master, do you have anything to say to me?"
Listening to her generous tone, Song Si felt inferior for the first time in her life. Such a noble girl should marry into a wealthy family and have no worries for the rest of her life. She should not marry herself and endure hardships with herself in the future.
"I……"
Xiao Yao pricked up her ears, but didn't wait for the words behind him, and was a little anxious, "Young Master just say something."
Song Si took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. "Today's in Xishi, I was in a hurry at that time, and I didn't mean to offend Miss Xiao."
"I know."
Song Si's hands hanging beside him tightened slightly, loosened, tightened again, and loosened again. After a few times, he mustered up the courage to speak again, "I want to ask Miss Xiao if she is willing to marry me."
There was silence in the bed curtain.
Song Si's eager heart also cooled down a little bit, and he spoke again, full of bitterness, "I..."
"I do."
Song Si looked over in disbelief. Although he was separated by the bed, he seemed to be able to see Xiao Yao's firm expression. His lips trembled. For the first time in his life, he could not control his emotions. "You, are you really willing?"
He saw Xiao Yao clearly, "I am willing, not because Mr. Song ruined my reputation, but because I secretly agreed to Mr. Young Master Fang at first sight, otherwise I would not meddle in other people's business and save Mr. Young Master."
Song Si felt that his whole body was floating up, "Really, is it true?"
"Um."
"Then, that, that..."
Hearing his excited and at a loss, Xiao Yao pursed her lips and smiled. The feeling of being suppressed in her heart in the past few days was swept away, and she was replaced by full of joy. Although she knew that she would not decide on her marriage after she became sensible, she was a girl after all. Even though she knew, she could not help but look forward to it. After learning that her grandfather had made a decision on Song Si for her, although she was not very disappointed, she was finally under a stone in her heart. Until now, the stone in her heart was completely gone.
"Is there anything else that Mr. Song wants to ask?"
"No, no more, Miss Xiao is well recuperated, I will come to see you in a few days."
"Young Master Song walked slowly."
Song Si came out of the house in a daze. After giving the Duke of Dingguo to Qin, he returned to the living room with his footsteps.
Seeing his appearance, Duke Ding and Mr. Xu looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Mr. Xu stroked his beard and said, "Duke Dingguo, you have a good vision. Among so many students, you are the one who is outstanding. You have chosen it."
Duke Ding did not hide his cover and smiled happily, "Old sir, you have a good attitude to each other, you have such a good student."
"Dude, old man..." Song Si stood up and gave the two great gifts. The joy in his voice could not be suppressed, "Miss Xiao agreed to marry me."
"good."
Duke Ding was happy, "A man will be a witness. If you go and invite a matchmaker to come, we will decide on the marriage as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly he would say this, Song Si was stunned for a moment and saluted again, "Dude, I don't want to be so urgent. Please wait for Song Si for some time."
"What's the meaning?"
"One is that Song Si's parents are not in the capital, and two is that I want to wait until the results of the test come out. After all, Song Si is now just an juren. If she gets engaged with Miss Xiao, she will inevitably be discussed. I don't want her to bear these things. Third, I want to make a big fuss and come to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage openly, and I don't want to feel so wronged Miss Xiao."
"good."
The Duke was very happy, "Just listen to you, but in order to avoid trouble, you must leave a token of love in front of the old man, and then wait for the test results to come out before talking about it."
"The Duke and the old man wait a moment, and I will go back and get it right away."
After saying that, Song Si bowed and hurried out from the mansion. After getting on the carriage, he went back to the inn and took all the silver notes in his house. Then he went to the next house to shout at Song Wanyue, "Yue'er, hurry up, lend all the silver you have on to your elder brother, and the elder brother is going to buy the love token of love."
Song Wanyue,...
