The Lady of Ding had wanted to do so for a long time, and originally wanted to go when the royal residence was repaired, but Xiao’er said she should wait a little longer.
When she heard that the Duke had just returned from court and said that Xiao’s title had been decided, she couldn’t hold back.
“Wait in peace, grandma will go now.”
The Duke of Ding had his grandmother dress her up and take her to the South City with ten maids and ten servants in the most expensive carriage in the house.
……
The gate of the Song family was open, and Grandma Song was playing with Song Rui in the courtyard, while Liu Cui Lan was washing clothes. Xiao Yao had gone to the shop, Song Si had gone to the Hanlin courtyard, Song Lin and Xu were at the Xu house, and Song Shu had also gone to help in the shop. It was just the three of them in the mansion.
When she heard the noise outside, Grandma Song only glanced outside, but Song Rui ran towards the door with his short legs, and Grandma Song hurriedly followed her.
“In-laws.”
The Duke of Ding’s wife just happened to get off the carriage, just in time to see Grandma Song and shouted out affectionately.
Song Rui knew this maternal great-grandmother and struggled to cross the threshold to go out, tilting her small face, “Maternal great-grandmother.”
Her heart melted at this shout, and with an “ai” she bent down to pick up the little one and walked towards Grandma Song.
As soon as she said “in-laws”, Grandma Song knew what she had come for and smiled as she let her in.
Liu Cui Lan, who was doing the laundry, saw that it was the Duchess of Ding, and got up quickly, wiped her hands on her apron and quickly stepped forward to take Song Rui, “Give it to me, the baby is quite heavy, don’t get tired.”
Although they had become in-laws with the Duke of Ding’s family, Liu Cui Lan and Song Shu were still very restrained when facing the Duke of Ding and his wife, afraid that if they said something wrong, they would annoy the Duke of Ding and his wife and bring trouble to their son.
The Duke of Ding’s wife gave the child to her in passing.
She did miss the child and wanted to hold him more, but she had more important things to do today.
When she entered the room and took her seat, the Duke’s wife opened the door, “My in-laws, I am here today to propose a marriage for my grandson, who was married to Yue’er with a different face, but now that he has regained his appearance, my lord and I feel that the marriage should be renewed.
“Naturally, yes.”
Grandma Song didn’t take Joe either.
The Ding Guofu had already given the Song family a great deal of face by coming to the house in person, so even if Grandma Song had any anger in her heart, it was gone now.
Besides, she also knew that Xiao’er had cheated death in order to protect the Song family.
“I’m going to ask the official matchmaker to come to the house tomorrow to propose the marriage.”
The Duke of Ding’s wife came and left as quickly as she could, going straight to the best official matchmaker and coming to the Song family the next day with great fanfare to propose the marriage.
Song Wangyue had already been betrothed to Prince Regent Chu Yunxiao, but now she had hired a new official matchmaker to come.
The news spread, and half the alley was filled with people who came to see the fun.
It was the hour.
Chu Yunxiao rode in slowly on his horse, followed by twelve soldiers carrying the marriage proposal two by two.
The matchmaker, wearing a large red flower on her head, followed behind with a red face.
She had been a matchmaker all her life, but today was the most spectacular time.
Song Si did not go to the Hanlin courtyard today, wearing a brand new blue robe, standing at the door, waiting for Chu Yunxiao to approach and was about to salute ……
Chu Yunxiao jumped off his horse and called out to the people first, “Big brother.”
Song Si’s salute couldn’t go on.
Suo couldn’t either.
Turning sideways, “Your Majesty, please come inside.”
Chu Yunxiao took the lead and went in, the matchmaker followed closely behind, and the twelve government soldiers carrying the box walked at the end.
The Song family were all present, sitting together in the flower hall, the stance was not like welcoming Chu Yunxiao, but rather like a court meeting.
The matchmaker, who had one foot inside the door, had a sudden surprise in her heart, and the smile on her face froze for a moment, then she put on a professional smile, “Congratulations to the Song family, congratulations to the Song family, congratulations to the Song family. …”
She wanted to say that she had been blessed in three lifetimes, but swallowed back in time.
The Regent was good, but Miss Song was even better than him, not to mention saving the new emperor and the people of the capital, she was more than worthy of the Regent.
“In short, ah, the two of them are a match made in heaven.”
As her words fell, Chu Yunxiao called out to people one by one, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, Second Uncle, Second Aunt.”
The attitude was as respectful as it could be.
The matchmaker felt that her eyes had been opened.
The Prince Regent was above all others, but he could put himself in such a low posture. It seemed that he was really in love with Miss Song and would not marry her, as rumours had it.
“Have a seat.”
Master Song slabbed his body straight.
Although Yue’er and Si’er had both said for them to behave as usual, but it was the Regent who had come, so how could he be as casual as usual?
Chu Yunxiao did not sit down, but bowed slightly towards the crowd, solemnly, “Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, don’t worry, I will treat little girl well for the rest of my life, and there will only be one mistress in the royal residence.”
“Mm.”
Song Lin nodded his head with little expression.
When Song Yin came to the door to ask for his hand in marriage, he was happy in his heart, because Song Yin promised that he would be wherever Yue’er was, which meant that even after the marriage Yue would not leave their side.
But now it was different, as Chu Yunxiao was the regent and would be living in the capital for a long time, and Yue’er would stay here after her marriage, so from now on, he and his daughter would be hundreds of miles apart.
Thinking of this, he was tempted not to agree to the marriage.
Once again, the matchmaker’s eyes were opened.
If it were any other family, the regent himself would still be fainting with joy when he came to the door to ask for a marriage? Miss Song’s father even had a bit of a black face, was he not satisfied with this son-in-law?
When she thought of this possibility, the matchmaker’s mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened.
Master Song coughed lightly and said once again, “Sit down.”
Chu Yunxiao sat down honestly, his hands resting on his knees in a disciplined manner, looking as if he was ready for a lecture.
The matchmaker’s mouth grew even wider, and after a long time she stammered, “I’ll, I’ll go wait outside.”
She was afraid her eyes would glare out if she didn’t go outside.
As soon as she left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief too, so tense were they for such a formal occasion.
“O Xiao’er, you must do what you say, if you dare to treat Yue’er badly in the future, we won’t be able to spare you.”
Grandma Song spoke up.
“Grandma, don’t worry, I will be good to little girl for the rest of my life.”
“No bullying her.” Song Lin stressed.
“Don’t worry, uncle. I won’t bully her.”
“Nor can I fail her.” Song Shu followed suit with emphasis.
“Second Uncle, don’t worry, I won’t let her down.”
“Let her down in every way.” Liu Cui Lan said
“I know, Second Aunt.”
……
Xiao Yao also wanted to say something, but swallowed her words back when she thought that this was her own cousin.
Outside the door, the matchmaker had listened in awe.
