On the way to look at the shop, Song Lao Er said to Song Xia, who was sitting opposite him, "Xia'er, your second uncle wants to change Zhao Di's name. Can you help me think of one?"
I learned that he wanted to change Zhaodi's name.
Song Lao Si opened his mouth and said, "Second Brother, why did you suddenly think of changing Zhao Di's name? Everyone has been calling her Zhao Di for so many years, it will feel very strange to change it..."
He had barely finished speaking.
Song Xia stared at Song Lao Er and asked, "Second Uncle, do you want to find a better family for Sister Zhaodi?"
Song Lao Er's silence was taken as tacit agreement.
Song Lao Si smirked slightly and said, "Second Brother, not to be rude, but your Zhao Di is still quite a bit inferior to our Xia'er. You should be more realistic. Besides, she's not young anymore..."
I'm almost nineteen.
Isn't it quite big?
Song Lao Er had long forgotten how old his daughter was.
After hearing what Song Laosi had to say, his expression paused.
no.
He needs to find a husband for his daughter quickly, otherwise what will happen if she can't get married?
Song Laosan and his group were equally anxious.
Song Xiaocao is a bit older than Song Xia. Although she's not as old as Song Zhaodi, she's still eighteen, isn't she?
then.
They went together to find a matchmaker to arrange a better marriage for their daughter.
When Jiang, the matchmaker, heard about their situation and that they had a nephew-in-law who was the adopted son of a princess, she immediately agreed to the marriage.
The next day, I found one for each of them.
The family that Jiang, the matchmaker, found for Song Zhaodi was a businessman. They owned a restaurant in the capital, and while the business wasn't great, it wasn't bad either.
The family she found for Song Xiaocao was also in business, but unlike Song Zhaodi, the man she was considering was still a student.
He was twenty-one years old and still a student without a degree.
Both of their families have some money.
Song Lao Er and his family, however, looked down on them and preferred to find someone whose family had an official or who was a scholar.
Although Jiang, the matchmaker, was somewhat speechless with them, she still tried her best to help them find a match.
I initially thought the chances were slim.
But unexpectedly.
Someone approached her and asked her to arrange a marriage.
The person looking for her was a woman named Yan Rong. Her husband worked in the Ministry of Rites as a fifth-rank official.
She has three sons. Her eldest son works in the Hanlin Academy, her second son is a member of the Imperial Guard in the palace, and her youngest son is still studying. He is twenty-two years old and has just passed the imperial examination.
She wanted to say Song Zhaodi.
Jiang, the matchmaker, was stunned when she heard what she said. She really didn't expect that a family like theirs would choose Song Zhaodi as their daughter-in-law.
Ask around to make sure there's no mistake.
Jiang, the matchmaker, rode in a carriage straight to Song Lao Er's house.
When Song Lao Er and the others found out, they were also quite surprised.
I came to my senses.
Qiao Lianhua said with a smile in her eyes, "I knew my Zhaodi would find a good family."
Song Lao Er looked directly at Matchmaker Jiang and asked, "Matchmaker Jiang, can a family like that really work? Or is there something wrong with their son, so..."
Seeing him say that.
Matchmaker Jiang said irritably, "You were the one who asked me to find a good husband for your daughter, and now that I've found one, you're saying this! If you're not happy with it, then forget it..."
"Yes, yes!"
Qiao Lianhua said urgently, and then asked the matchmaker Jiang when they would meet.
"tomorrow."
After answering, Jiang the matchmaker continued, "Madam Yan said she wants to meet you at the Mingfeng Tea House in the capital. Don't be late."
She had just finished speaking.
Song Lao Er then asked her, "Matchmaker Jiang, you found such a good family for our Zhao Di, but what about my third brother's family? What kind of family did you find for Xiao Cao?"
It can't be any better than theirs, right?
Matchmaker Jiang coughed and said, "Do you think it's so easy to find a good family? They haven't even found one yet. If I hadn't thought your Zhaodi was prettier, would I have proposed to you?"
She left.
Song Lao Er and the others then told Song Zhao Di about it.
Song Zhaodi had considered her marriage, but when she heard that they had found such a good family for her, her expression changed immediately: "Father, Mother, this won't do."
Qiao Lianhua glanced at her and said, "Why not? Our family may not be doing so well, but things will get better in the future, won't they? Besides, you have a cousin who is a general's wife, so what's wrong with finding a husband who might become an official?"
"that is."
Song Lao Er echoed.
Seeing that she couldn't reason with them, Song Zhaodi had no choice but to secretly go out to find Song Xia.
"Sister Xia, please help me. I can't reason with my father and the others. No matter what I say, they insist that I go to that teahouse tomorrow to meet someone."
Song Xia pursed her lips and said, "It's not settled yet. If they want you to go for a matchmaking, just go. I'll secretly follow you."
Jin Beichen came back.
Song Xia then told him about it.
Jin Beicheng frowned: "I'm not familiar with the Assistant Minister of Rites, but this does seem like a problem. I'll send someone to investigate."
"good!"
Song Xia thought so too.
Jin Beicheng sent Chang'an and Changfeng out to investigate.
As soon as I got back.
They then reported the situation of the family of the Assistant Minister of Rites to Jin Beicheng and his group.
After they left, Song Xia said, "Husband, there must be something wrong here. Their eldest and second daughters-in-law are both daughters of officials in the same court. There's no reason why their third daughter-in-law would marry a peasant girl."
"I'll have them check again."
Jin Beicheng said.
Song Xia told Jin Beichen her plan: "I plan to go and take a look tomorrow."
"What you're doing is too dangerous."
Jin Beichen was worried and insisted that she take Chang'an and the others with her when she went.
The next day.
Song Xia disguised herself as a man and went with Chang'an and the others.
They arrived before Yan Rong and the others.
After determining which private room they wanted.
They wanted the private room next door.
The Mingfeng Tea House has a decent layout, but its location is a bit out of the way, so not many people come here to drink tea. Overall, it's quite quiet.
We entered the private room.
Song Xia pressed himself against the wall to listen to what was happening next door.
But I didn't hear anything.
I don't know if they weren't talking or if the soundproofing was just too good.
The conversation after Song Zhaodi and the others arrived.
They didn't hear it either.
Undoubtedly, the sound insulation of this house is quite good.
next door.
When Song Zhaodi entered the private room, she was a little unsure of what to do with her hands and feet. Although the man she was dating was handsome and he and his mother treated her well, she was still a little flustered.
Thinking of what Song Xia had said before.
After sitting in the private room for a while, Song Zhaodi found an excuse and left.
I heard a noise.
Song Xia opened the door and peeked out, her eyes meeting Song Zhaodi's.
Song Zhaodi was about to walk towards her.
Song Xia waved to her.
Song Zhaodi looked puzzled. Wasn't Song Xia wearing a veil? What was she afraid of?
Song Xia looked around, then came out and pulled her to the side.
Walk to a secluded corner.
Song Xia asked Song Zhaodi, "How did the physiognomy turn out? What did you all say?"
