Song Si swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Sun Jin's expression was so happy, why should he pour cold water on him?

"Nothing, congratulations."

Sun Jin felt something was wrong with him. Although he said congratulations, he didn't look happy for him at all. On the contrary, he was a little heavy.

Sun Jin looked serious, "Brother Song, I have always regarded you as a brother. If you have anything to say, I feel very uneasy when you do this."

"What did Mr. Big said to you?"

After hearing his question, Sun Jin immediately forgot his anxiety and became excited again, "Mr. Big Mr. has given me a lot. I came to you to tell you the good news about Ms. Xu and I just wanted to tell me what Mr. Big Mr. TikTok."

"Thank you, Brother Sun, but since you are the Grand Master's advice, you don't have to share with me. I'll wait for the good news of your palace examination."

"What's wrong with you!"

Sun Jin leaned forward a little and stared at his expression carefully, "Since I told you about my proposal to the Xu family just now, you are not right. Brother Song, what's wrong with you?"

"Maybe I'm tired today."

Song Si changed the topic and said, "The food is going to be cold, let's go for a meal."

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Sun Jin stared at his back for a while before getting up and going to the dining room.

The chef of the Dingguo Duke's Mansion is indeed good, and the whole dining room is fragrant. Sun Jin is really hungry and eats it without hesitation.

After eating, I thought of something wrong with Song Si on the way back to the inn in a carriage. I frowned and thought about what happened to Song Si but couldn't figure out what happened to Song Si. When I saw Mr. Sun, my brows still didn't stretch.

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Sun thought something was wrong with the marriage, so he asked worriedly.

Sun Jin told him about Song Si's abnormal reaction. After hearing that, Master Sun stroked his beard and pondered for a while, "Young Master Song is not a stingy person. There must be some reason why he cannot tell us when he does this. In this way, you can go there again tomorrow and ask him carefully."

Sun Jin nodded.

...

When Song Wanyue was having dinner, she found that Song Si was a little absent-minded. She didn't even hold a few bites of her usual favorite dishes. After Sun Jin left, she went to knock on Song Si's door, "Big Brother."

Song Si was sitting at the table and wondering what she was thinking. He heard her voice and sang, "Come in."

Song Wanyue pushed the door open, turned around and closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Brother, do you have any worries?"

Song Si opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

"About Sun Jin?"

Song Si was stunned, "How do you know?"

"Obviously, my elder brother was very happy after sending Sister Xiao back. When he entered the dining room with Sun Jin, he couldn't find out the taste. It must be related to him."

Song Si sighed, "It's true that it's related to him, but my elder brother doesn't know what to do?"

"Brother, come and listen."

Speaking out means telling him that the eldest husband is planning his thing. Song Si hesitated for a moment, but he still said it. He really didn't know what to do. Sun Jin had already proposed marriage. If he told him what happened that day, he would undoubtedly make things difficult for others. But if he didn't tell him, he would be sorry for Sun Jin's affection for him.

"That day, I..."

The world-famous scholar actually did such a thing. After hearing this, Song Wanyue was stunned for a long time.

"So they designed you, and they designed Sun Jin again?"

Song Si nodded.

"No, just with the reputation of the Xu family, Xu Ling'er would not worry about marrying. Why did they design you?"

Song Si shook his head again. Since that day, he has never been to the Xu Mansion, nor has he inquired about any information about the Xu family.

Song Wanyue felt that there must be something they didn't know about here.

"In this way, after breakfast tomorrow, I will go to Sister Xiao to ask. When I come back, we will decide whether to tell Sun Jin."

That's all.

The next morning, several people had breakfast. Before Song Wanyue could go to Dingguo Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yao came over in a carriage.

After she came back last night, she went to find her mother and told her that Song Song Wanyue wanted to open a pastry shop and hand it over to her. Of course, she also said that Song Si would take care of her with her.

My mother was very happy to hear this and told her about her experience in managing the shops in the mansion over the years. After hearing this, Xiao Yao returned to her house, thought about it in the middle of the night, wrote down her plan, and after breakfast, she couldn't wait to come over.

"Sister Xiao."

Song Wanyue quickly walked out and held her arm, "I'm going to find you. You're here just in time. I have gossip to ask you."

“Goggle?”

Xiao Yao was puzzled.

Song Wanyue said it casually. After finishing her words, she remembered that this place was not modern, "I just asked you for some things."

Xiao Yao understands.

The two went into the house to sit down, and Song Wanyue said, "The friend of the elder brother who Sister Xiao saw yesterday will soon be engaged to Mr. Xu's great-granddaughter. I was puzzled. With the reputation and status of the Xu family, his great-granddaughter wanted to say what kind of family he couldn't say, so why did he say it to a student from another place?"

"You don't know this. Xu Ling'er is not Mr. Xu's great-granddaughter. He was born to the daughter brought by Mr. Grandma's wife. He should have the surname Li, but Mr. Grandma missed his lost daughter and insisted on letting Xu Ling'er have the surname of the Xu family. But after all, she is not the relative of the Xu family, so the marriage is not high or low. A family with a good family is unwilling to marry her, and she doesn't like her."

"The daughter brought by the flat wife?"

"Yes, I heard from my mother that this incident caused a lot of sensation in the capital. No one expected that the famous Mr. suddenly wanted to marry a fair wife, and this fair wife was a woman with a son and a daughter. At that time, rumors in the capital..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao subconsciously lowered her voice, "It is said that the son and daughter of the flat wife are originally the eldest son. He raised an outdoor room outside early in the morning. Seeing that his children grew older, he married the outdoor room as a flat wife and took his children back to the mansion with justice. Therefore, many families in the capital look down on the family tradition of the Xu family."

Song Wanyue knew it.

No wonder they had to design the eldest brother and Sun Jin one after another. With such a reputation, Xu Ling'er really couldn't say anything good in Beijing.

"Actually, there was another incident in the Xu family. Mr. Grandpa's biological daughter suddenly disappeared before he married his wife. She was alive and died. The old man had always liked that granddaughter, and he almost went there. The eldest lady had been lingering in sickness, guarding a remote courtyard in the mansion, praying all day long that his daughter could come back. Even the power of the family was handed over to let the plain wife manage it. The eldest master of the Xu family gave up his official position in the court and traveled with his wife and children. He only came back once a year to visit the eldest lady and the old man."
