"What do you think?"

Seeing that Sun Jin had not responded for a long time, the eldest gentleman silenced.

Sun Jin came back to his senses and stood up in a hurry, "It is only an honor for the student to be loved by Mr. Da. But this matter must be told to my father, I..."

He is not an ordinary student without knowledge. If the granddaughter of the eldest husband was really good, the threshold of the Xu family would have been broken long ago, and it would be his turn to come to a small place? What's more, every time he enters and leaves the Xu family, he always goes with Song Si. If he really wants to choose, he should choose Song Si instead of him.

"This is easy to say..."

I don't know if I didn't hear his refusal, so the eldest gentleman interrupted him, "I'll send you to the inn to pick up your father and ask him in person."

Sun Jin was in a hurry and sweated all over. If his father came, he would definitely respond immediately.

"Are you unwilling?"

Huo seemed to notice something and asked gently.

"No, no, the student is just..."

"Afraid that we will deceive you?"

"No, no, no, no," Sun Jin waved his hand in panic, "That's not what the students mean, the students are just too surprised."

"Mr. Da is your blessing. Many people ask for marriage in the capital. I have never been engaged because I can't bear to leave her. The reason I chose you is because your family is not in the capital and there are fewer troubles in the future. Of course, we will not let Ling'er go out to suffer and find a way to keep you in the capital."

Stay in Beijing?

Sun Jin was moved. The capital city was a place where many students yearned for, and everyone wanted to stay here, but with his current grades, he was released from the palace examination at most and became a local small official, so how could he compare to staying in the capital?

"Of course..."

Huo said slowly again, "Mr. Da and I are both enlightened people. We will not let you get married blindly. You can hide from the screen. I will let Ling'er come over and take a look at you."

Since Sun Jin had this idea, he did not refuse and went behind the screen.

Huo ordered the maid standing at the door to go, "Go and ask Miss Sun if the soup for her grandfather has been stewed, and let her send it after it has been stewed."

The maid responded, but the door was pushed open for a while. Xu Ling'er walked in, followed by the maid who was holding the soup.

"Grandfather, grandmother."

Xu Ling'er's voice was cheerful and lively, and she didn't know that there was someone behind the screen.

Sun Jin saw her face clearly through the screen, and his heart suddenly thumped. It turned out to be the girl he saw outside the old man's door that day. He was shocked at the sight of him at the moment. He thought about it for a few days, but he didn't expect it would be her.

Xu Ling'er personally brought the tonic soup and put it in front of Mr. Da, "Grandfather, how did I stew it?"

"I didn't say that the weather is getting hotter and the maid can do such things."

The eldest gentleman was both distressed and relieved. This child has always been so filial that the things he made for himself were never by others.

"They don't have the best stews for me. They need to stew them over low heat for an hour, so you can't be impatient at all."

The eldest gentleman picked it up and took two sips, and praised it, "It's delicious."

"Since it's delicious, my grandfather will drink it all. I haven't finished practicing my calligraphy today, so I won't watch you drink it."

"Go."

Xu Ling'erfu withdrew from behind.

Sun Jin came out from behind the screen, and all his doubts were dispelled. A big gift was carried out to the end. "Student thanks Mr. Da for his love. The student will go back and discuss with his father about asking a matchmaker to propose marriage."

"It's better to be simple together, don't be too arrogant."

...

On the other side, Song Si went to Song Wanyue's house and told them the two of them that Xiao Yao invited them to Dingguo Duke's Mansion for dinner.

Song Wanyue was very happy and immediately urged Song Si and Gu Yi to go back to the house to change clothes. She also changed into new pink clothes, put on a cloak of the same color, and left the door. When Song Si and Gu Yi came out, they went downstairs together and got on a carriage to the Duke Dingguo Mansion.

The housekeeper got the order and had been waiting at the door of the mansion. When he saw their carriage coming, he immediately ran to meet him. When the carriage stopped, he opened the curtain, "Young Master Song, please wait."

Afraid that Song Si would see the clues, he did not dare to look at Gu Yi at all.

"Thank you."

Song Si got off the carriage, turned around and followed Song Wanyue, and finally Gu Yi.

Gu Yi had just come out of the carriage, and the housekeeper could no longer help, and his eyes fell straight on him. In just a few days, Master Coffin looked a lot thinner, and he had to tell the master to make more food in the kitchen that Master Coffin likes.

"Please follow me."

The butler took them to the living room.

Duke Ding had already met Gu Yi last time and was still calm, so Xiao Zheng couldn't do it anymore. He kept walking around. He heard from the servants that Song Si and the others had arrived, so he barely sat back and stretched his neck to look out.

"Restrain and don't let Song Si see anything."

Dingguo Duke warned him.

Xiao Zheng sat down seriously, but he couldn't help but twist his body and look out.

The housekeeper came in with a young man of fifteen or sixteen, with beautiful eyes and a bookish atmosphere all over his body. Needless to say, Song Si, Xiao Zheng only glanced at him, and his eyes passed over him and landed on Gu Yi behind him.

The twelve-year-old boy is only half shorter than Song Si, with a face...

Xiao Zheng almost couldn't help but jump up, and instantly turned his head to look at his father, wondering how he could see from Gu Yi's current face that he was as good as his elder sister.

Duke Ding was very calm. The marks on Xiao'er's face had already gone down a lot, and it was even more scary than this when he came that day.

"Dude, uncle."

Song Si looked at Xiao Zheng and Duke Ding Guo who had some similar faces, guessed his identity and saluted him.

Song Wanyue and Gu Yi also saluted.

"Okay, okay, okay, sit, sit."

Duke Ding stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes skipped over Gu Yi without any trace, and fell on Song Si, "I see that you have reduced your cleaning a lot in the past few days. What do you like to eat? I will tell the people in the kitchen to make it for you."

"Thank you, Duke."

"What's the name of "Dude"? Grandfather."

"grandfather."

The Duke laughed happily, his eyes falling on Song Wanyue, "This is your sister, what a little girl with pink and jade."

"Thank you, Duke, for the praise."

"I heard Yao'er say that day, saying that she is very close to you. If you have nothing to do in the future, you will come to the mansion to play and treat it as your own home."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite."

Duke Ding laughed again, and his eyes fell on Gu Yi, "This is..."

"I am Gu Yi, I am the little girl's fiancé."

Obviously, I didn't expect Gu Yi to have such an identity, so Duke Ding and Xiao Zheng were both "slightly stunned".

Song Siwei was afraid that they would misunderstand something. Just as he was about to explain, Gu Yi had already continued, "I almost died after accidentally falling into the water. It was the little girl who saved me. I had no choice but to repay me, so I promised me."

Duke Dingguo,...

Xiao Zheng,...
