442 Hold your breath with a nest of fire (2 more)

Mr. Da couldn't believe that Wen Zhong would do such a thing.

"What you said is the truth?"

"Everything is true. If Mr. Big, I can accompany you to confront him."

Hearing his words convincingly, the eldest gentleman believed it completely, stood up with anger and walked out, and Sun Jin respectfully sent him out.

Seeing him go downstairs, Sun Jin sneered in the corner of his mouth.

The eldest gentleman directly ordered the coachman to go to the Ministry of Revenue. Halfway through the walk, he remembered that it was not time to go to the yamen, so he immediately ordered the coachman to go to Wen Zhong's mansion.

Wen Zhong's mansion is also in the east city, slightly to the west, not close or far from Xu's mansion. The coachman drove over and happened to Wen Zhong out of his home to go to the Ministry of Revenue. When he saw the Grand Master's carriage coming, he hurriedly came forward. After the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain himself, "Why are you here?"

"I ask you, why do you disagree with Sun Jin and Ling'er's marriage?"

Wen Zhong was stunned and subconsciously refuted. Thinking that he was on the street, he quickly took a step back and said, "Go to the mansion and talk."

The two went to the study room, and after sitting down, Wen Zhong asked, "Why do you say that? I have never opposed their marriage."

The eldest gentleman naturally didn't believe it, and he understood that Sun Jin didn't have the courage to lie to him.

"Have you ever asked Sun Jin to invite Song Si to Cuixiang Pavilion for dinner?"

Wen Zhong admitted frankly, "Yes."

The eldest gentleman slapped the table, "Don't you disagree with this? Don't you know where Cuixiang Pavilion is?"

"You misunderstood. I wanted Sun Jin to lead Song Si over, but I didn't say I had my own difficulties in doing this. At that time, I didn't know that Xu Qingwan had not recovered her memory. I did this to hold on to Song Si's handle and let Xu Qingwan not tell what happened back then. I had no choice but to do it."

After hearing what he said, the eldest gentleman was half angry and softened his tone, "Then you can think of other ways, or explain it to Sun Jin in advance, so that he would not cause his misunderstanding and mistakenly think that you did not agree with his marriage with Ling'er. So he proposed to marry the Sixth Princess in front of the emperor."

"He wants to marry the Sixth Princess?"

Wen Zhong was surprised that there was something wrong with the Ministry of Revenue today. He came out of the city and did not attend the Qionglin Banquet. He still didn't know what happened.

The eldest gentleman was angry again. Ling'er disagreed with saying such a good marriage, but because of the misunderstanding, it made people even more angry that the other party was a princess, and he didn't even have the chance to let Sun Jin go back on his word.

"Fortunately, the Sun family just came to propose marriage at the door and did not engage in marriage, otherwise we would be embarrassed."

Wen Zhong didn't say anything, his face turned heavy. He didn't expect Sun Jin to dare to do this.

...

The Song family is in a joyous scene.

Grandma Song had lunch early and brought all the money from the family and the 50,000 taels of money that Mr. Gu gave to Gu Yi. She took Liu Cuilan to Xu's house and asked Meng to help buy the noodles.

Meng hasn't gone out for so many years and doesn't know where it's sold, so she asked Madam Wu to call her second wife and the group went out on the street in a mighty manner.

After a while shopping, not only did I buy it, but I even bought a thousand taels of good wine and the remaining engagement gift. The Song family and Meng family separated and returned home, it was almost dark.

"Si'er, have you booked a date?"

"I've booked it, tomorrow morning."

"Okay, OK, OK."

Grandma Song walked into the room with her ears in her mouth. She stepped into the door and remembered something. Before the matchmaker invited her, she slapped her forehead and said, "It's broken, I forgot the most important thing."

"Grandma is talking about the matchmaker, right?"

Song Wanyue walked out of the house with a smile, "My elder brother and I went down to invite the official media, and she came to the door on time tomorrow morning."

"That's good."

Grandma Song entered the house and placed all the engagement gifts except the six jars of wine on the bed. She counted them one by one. After the inventory was still uneasy, she called Liu Cuilan and Song Wanyue in and asked them to count them each before they could put them back.

I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep much. The next morning, I got up before dawn and cooked, and called the whole family to get up and eat, and then waited for the matchmaker to come to my house.

At the beginning of the Mao hour, Xu came over in a carriage. Today she and Song Wanyue went to the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.

Chen Shichu, the matchmaker twisted his waist and held it over. When he met, he gave it a smile, saying that Grandma Song smiled, "I'll ask you for today's business. As long as it is done, your matchmaker's red envelope will be indispensable."

"It's certain, it's my blessing to match the top scholar. I will do my best to satisfy both of you."

Song Wanyue called the servant to come and move the engagement gift to the carriage.

The matchmaker took a casual look and knew that Song Si was a country man and didn't have much money. She thought that the engagement ceremony would not be very good, but whether it was pastries or wine, they were used by those wealthy families to get engaged. When she saw the box holding jewelry, her eyes widened. The size of the box should be the head and face. Even the cheapest one was four or five thousand taels.

The matchmaker had a new estimate of the Song family, and the smile on her face became more sincere. She sat on the carriage board in front of the carriage, shouting at the people on the roadside, "The new top scholar is going to get engaged to Miss Xiao from the Duke Dingguo Mansion. Everyone will go and watch the fun."

She shouted all the way, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of Dingguo Duke's mansion, she followed countless people watching the fun, which scared the housekeeper waiting at the gate of the mansion and hurriedly asked the servant to report to the Duke's mansion.

Song Si got off the carriage and immediately caused a big sensation. He was parading in the robe of the top scholar that day, but many people didn't see it. Today, he finally had a glimpse of his face.

Seeing people rushing towards the door of the mansion, the butler quickly let Song Si enter the mansion, and the commotion of the crowd calmed down.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and led the way in front, and all the way to the living room.

The Duke of Dingguo and his wife and Xiao Zheng had been waiting for a long time, and there was a young man who looked weak and had a white complexion sitting next to him.

The matchmaker congratulated her, and after receiving the Xiyin, she went outside with a smile.

After some greetings, Qin pointed to the boy and introduced him.

"This is the dog son Xiao Qian. Because he has been weak since childhood, he has lived in Qianshan Temple outside the city for a long time. Today, it was because of Yao'er's engagement that we picked him up."

Xiao Qian stood up and before he could speak, he just coughed, "Xiao Qian... cough cough... seen... cough cough cough... everyone."

Xu felt sorry for her. She was a mother. Naturally, she knew how uncomfortable she felt when she heard the child coughing like this. "I don't know what the specific disease of Mr. Xiao is. Yue'er understands some medical skills and can let her show Mr. Xiao."

For some reason, after Xu finished speaking, Song Wanyue clearly saw a little panic flashing in the eyes of the Xiao family.

She looked at Xiao Qian, who was holding a veil and covering her mouth.

Xu Shi noticed her gaze, but Xiao Qian burst into a violent coughing sound.
