The next day, the good news about the Dingbei Hou Mansion spread quickly throughout the capital.

There is no need for anyone to deliberately publicize it, but everyone who saw the lively and festive engagement procession yesterday, even those who have not paid attention to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, heard the news of Song Xi's engagement one after another that day.

In the capital, everyone, whether they were relatives, friends, neighbors, or officials and dignitaries, were all shocked by this sudden and hasty marriage.

In their stereotype, although Song Xi is just a mediocre and low-key wealthy son, after all, he was born in a prince's palace and has a prominent family background. He is handsome, humble and polite, and has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. He has always been a powerful official and noble in the capital.

The candidate for a good son-in-law in the hearts of girls.

When they learned that Song Xi had returned to the Hou Mansion with the Yu siblings who were born in the countryside, everyone thought they were just taking care of friends from afar, or wooing high-yielding grain breeders for their father and brother in the northwest, but there was always something in their hearts.

Fortunately, I don't want to speculate on the relationship between the two of them.

Who would have thought that the dignified second son of Dingbeihou Mansion would actually condescend to marry a lowly country businesswoman?!

Even if the other party is the holder of high-yielding grains and sacred objects that benefit the people, and even received awards from the emperor for this, and established a certain degree of cooperative relationship with the Zhou Dynasty, it cannot change the world of difference between the two people.

!

The most outrageous thing is that the two elders of the Song family actually agreed to the marriage, and even couldn't wait to get engaged, completing most of the marriage process in just one day?!

What a stupid choice!

The unmarried ladies of the right age were greatly disappointed. They felt very sorry for the blind and blind Young Master of the Song Dynasty, while they were despised and jealous of the Yu daughter who had forced her way into the Marquis's residence.

If they had known that Song Xi's standards for choosing a wife were so low, they should have taken the initiative to see each other in advance, instead of waiting until the deal was done, then beating their chests and sighing secretly.

I don’t know what kind of beauty and character that Yu’s daughter is, that she can be so charming that the second young master of the Song Dynasty becomes dizzy?

During the New Year's Eve banquet, they had to see it clearly for themselves!

Those who felt shocked and disappointed were not only the dignitaries and ladies of the capital, but also Song's mother's natal family, Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning, I received the wedding cake and letter from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. When I learned that my daughter and grandson had made the decision without permission to arrange this inexplicable marriage, Weiyuan Marquis Zhang Tianhuan was extremely angry.

He had told his daughter repeatedly before that he wanted his granddaughter Zhang Ruoyun and Song Xi to get engaged as soon as possible. This would not only bring the two families closer together, but also fulfill Yun's long-term relationship with Song Xi.

Xi's admiration and Hate's long-cherished wish to marry.

The result? The daughter actually ignored her niece's wishes and the relationship between the two houses and allowed Song Xi to marry a country businesswoman of unknown origin?!

He didn't even say hello in advance, and didn't send a letter until the matter was completely settled. This is not taking his natal family seriously!

Marquis Weiyuan's face was gloomy, he was sitting in the main hall with his eyes lowered, and his whole body had a formidable aura. Anyone could see his anger and displeasure.

Zhang Ruoyun sat at the bottom and cried sadly, while the crown prince Zhang Mingke and his wife Zhang Yang also had angry and puzzled faces.

"Cousin, do you have any difficulties? I heard that the Yu girl is a breeder of high-yielding grain seeds..."

Zhang Ruoyun asked her grandfather with a sad face and choked with tears. She still can't believe that the cousin she has always admired actually married another woman.

Mrs. Zhang Yang gently patted her daughter's back to express comfort, and then scolded Yu Yalan, whom she had never met before, "In my opinion, it must be the orphan girl of the Yu family who threatened brother Xi with high-yielding grains. Song

In order to provide food and grass for my eldest brother-in-law in the northwest, my family had to marry such a lowly and despicable country woman!"

The crown prince Zhang Mingke also agreed with his wife's point of view, "Speaking of which, the eldest brother-in-law has been constantly asking the court for grain and grass reinforcements before, but he has become much quieter recently. I think brother Xi must have obtained a lot of high-yielding grain seeds to provide the northwest

That end alleviated the urgent need.

That orphan girl of the Yu family took advantage of the Song family's weakness and took advantage of it to force Brother Xi to marry her. She couldn't even wait for the Chinese New Year and hurriedly completed the engagement before the New Year."

Mrs. Zhang Yang sneered twice when she heard this, and sneered scornfully: "Perhaps I should marry my son! Otherwise, how could we have such an important marriage in such a hurry? Mrs. Yu is really a lowly fox, and she can't wait to get married.

She wants to hook a man onto the bed! She thinks she can wash away her humble background by climbing up to a high branch? Little does she know that all the powerful people in the capital are watching her joke!"

Zhang Ruoyun on the side heard her mother's guess, her tears instantly flowed more urgently, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

When she thought of her heroic cousin being defiled by a country businesswoman, and even being pregnant with a child, she couldn't help but feel jealous and murderous. She wished she could kill him on the spot!

Marquis Weiyuan saw that his daughter-in-law was getting more and more unpleasant as she spoke, and her sarcastic face was unbecoming of a wealthy lady, so he immediately slapped the table and shouted to stop her.

"Okay! Let him marry whomever he wants! I, the grandfather, can't control it anymore. You should show Sister Yun a suitable marriage as soon as possible. Don't let people think that we have to marry each other, which is detrimental to the prestige."

The face of Yuanhou Mansion!"

Outsiders may be deceived by the appearance of mediocrity, but his grandfather knew something about Song Xi. The child was as talented and martial as his father and brother. If he had not been concerned about the emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction, he would not have kept a low profile and kept a low profile.

, I just want to be a noble young man who is idle at home.

With Song Xi's ability, there is no way she would be threatened by a lonely country woman, let alone someone she hates, and would not rush to hire someone and apply for a marriage certificate. Her daughter Zhang Mingying's letter also mentioned the prince's surveillance in a subtle way.

Although the situation was tense, he was full of praise for the Yu family and was extremely happy. It seemed that this marriage was indeed a voluntary proposal by Song Xi, for fear that others would intervene and ruin his engagement ceremony.

Marquis Weiyuan didn't know whether Song Xi decided to marry because of the high yield of grain, or whether he really fell in love with the country businesswoman of unknown origin, but the matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much they argued, it was meaningless.

When everyone in the room saw that the head of the family had made the final decision, they immediately stopped discussing and cursing. However, the expressions on their faces were still full of anger, which showed how resentful and angry they were towards the Song family's actions.

Mrs. Hou, who had been silent all the time, lowered her eyebrows and asked her husband about the next arrangements with some hesitation: "Then... do you want to send a reply to the Song family to congratulate you? After all, it is also a great joy for Brother Xi..."

Marquis Weiyuan glanced at his old wife with a frown, and replied dissatisfiedly: "Ignore her."

"Yes..." Mrs. Hou agreed submissively, but she was a little worried about the daughter and grandson of Dingbei Hou Mansion.

She gave birth to only one son and one daughter in her life. The old Marquis only valued his legitimate son Zhang Mingke, but did not care much about his daughter Zhang Mingying who married into the Song family. Although she had the status of Mrs. Hou, she was timid and had no opinions.

I can only secretly care about my only daughter.

I just hope that this incident will not cause any discord between the two families, otherwise she will be in a dilemma.
