Chapter 367 Very Matched

Seeing her like this, Xia Ning was not angry, but just smiled and said: "It's not that I'm interfering in your family affairs, but there is a merchant family in the west of the city who has taken a fancy to your daughter."

Just when the woman was about to sneer, Xia Ning didn't give her a chance.

"I can't say this merchant family is that good, but they are willing to pay a betrothal gift of 100 taels."

Of course, out of the one hundred taels, eighty taels were paid by Song Qingyan.

In Song Qingyan's words, it was like using eighty taels of silver to buy peace of mind for herself.

There is nothing worth clinging to in Miss Lin's family, so how could the other party be willing to give her one hundred taels of silver?

When she heard about the one hundred taels of silver, the woman's eyes widened and even shone: "Really?"

"Of course I do."

The matter ended so simply, but it caused quite a bit of discussion among the Great Chu Emperor and his entourage afterwards.

"I never thought that a father could sell his daughter for just a few dozen taels of silver. It's really tragic." Jinyu has always been by Song Qingyan's side. Her mother is an old lady who works in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. She never has to worry about money.

Naturally, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen among the people.

Even when I knew that Lin Xiaochun's man went out to work for five taels of silver, I was not so shocked.

"He's a sixty-year-old old man! How could her father bear to do that?" Jinyu now looked like Jinxin, muttering to herself.

[Sister Jinyu, I am fifty years old. ]

[Although that man is not a good person, he is not yet sixty years old.]

【Look, this is a rumor. 】

[Thinking about it this way, my father is only in his early forties now, so it is not too bad for him to take in a few more concubines. ]

[In this entire harem, there are really only a few people left, some are crazy, some are dead. ]

Wei Cheng smiled and looked at Jinyu and explained, "Miss Jinyu has always lived in the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she doesn't know the lives of these common people."

"The Queen and the Marquis' wife are both very kind to you, so the monthly allowance is naturally not small. But among the common people, Miss Jinyu's monthly allowance is probably equivalent to the income of an ordinary family."

Jinyu stared at Wei Cheng and listened to what he said carefully.

Song Qingyan stood beside Lu Xingwan and watched the two of them talking.

"Mother." Perhaps because she was watching too intently, Song Qingyan was startled by Lu Xingwan's sudden voice.

However, it did not affect Wei Cheng and Jin Yu who were talking on the side.

[Mother, come to think of it, Wei Cheng and Sister Jinyu do seem to be a good match! ]

[Mother, please ask Commander Wei if he is still married. I think it is okay.]

[Sister Jinyu is 18 years old now! You should have said goodbye to me a long time ago. Is it because mother is holding me back? ]

Song Qingyan complained in her heart: I swear to God, I asked my mother to arrange marriages for Jinxin and Jinyu a long time ago. These two girls even raised knives in front of me and said that if I drove them away, they might as well die.

How dare I?

I never thought that mother is such a person in Wanwan's heart. I am really sad as a mother.

[Of course I'm joking! How could my wise and powerful mother be such a person! ]

The mother and daughter squatted on the ground, looking at the person in front of them, and seemed to see the figure of the Emperor of Great Chu standing beside them.

Song Qingyan picked up Lu Xingwan from the ground and ran towards the Great Chu Emperor: "Master, Master."

The Great Chu Emperor hurriedly took Lu Xingwan over and tapped Song Qingyan on the head: "Be gentle, don't fall, Wanwan is still young!"

It seemed that since leaving the palace, the Emperor of Great Chu had seen the appearance of Song Qingyan, his former concubine.

The little girl who always follows her sister.

Lu Xingwan, however, burst into laughter because of Song Qingyan's action.

Song Qingyan shook her head nonchalantly and looked at the Great Chu Emperor: "Your Majesty, how old is Commander Wei? Does he have a family?"

"What? Do you have a suitable candidate?" The Emperor of Great Chu did not notice Wei Cheng who was talking to Jin Yu over there, and just asked with his head down.

"Master, please speak quickly." Song Qingyan was in a hurry, so she addressed the Emperor of Great Chu as "Master" and sometimes as "Your Majesty", but she herself was completely unaware of it.

[Wow, could it be that mother and Wanwan are so in tune with each other that they both think that Sister Jinyu and Commander Wei are a perfect match.]

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, the Emperor of Great Chu turned around and looked at Jin Yu and Wei Cheng who were talking.

Speaking of which, Wanwan has good taste, and they do seem to be a good match.

Then he said, "Wei Cheng is twenty-five years old, which means he is younger than you."

"A few years ago, his family arranged two marriages for him. But strangely, the girls from these two families, one after the engagement and the other during the marriage negotiation, had accidents one after another."

At this point, the Great Chu Emperor sighed and said, "From now on, it will be difficult to talk about marriage. Wei Cheng no longer has that kind of mind and is completely focused on the court."

[No wonder! For someone like Wei Cheng to be able to become the commander of the Yulin Army at such a young age, he should have a happy family.]

"Why, do you think Wei Cheng is good and want to give him to Jinyu?" The Great Chu Emperor looked at Song Qingyan with a smile.

The Great Chu Emperor also looked over. To be honest, Jinyu was just a maid in Qingyun Palace. Compared with the commander of the Yulin Army, she was really not worthy.

But considering Wei Cheng's current situation, and the fact that Jin Yu came from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, it should be fine as long as his status is raised.

Song Qingyan looked at the Great Chu Emperor in surprise: "How did your Majesty know?"

[Mother, your eyes are almost glued to those two people. Father is not blind, how could he not see it? ]

The Emperor of Great Chu felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words. Why did it seem as if he was scolded by Wanwan?

After all, I really didn't see it just now, and I only noticed it after Wanwan reminded me.

Seeing that the Great Chu Emperor did not speak, Song Qingyan continued: "Your Majesty... My Lord, please do not think that Jinyu is of low status and is not worthy of Wei Cheng."

"Jinyu has been studying with me since she was a child. Although she is a few years younger than me, she is a smart girl."

"She is decent looking, but her family background is a little poor," Song Qingyan seemed to be worried that the Great Chu Emperor would not approve of her marriage, so she continued to explain, "But Jinyu is a very good girl."

Seeing her so nervous, the Great Chu Emperor smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "You don't have to be nervous. Anyway, you have to ask their opinions first, right?"

Knowing that the Great Chu Emperor's words meant that he had no objection, Song Qingyan felt much happier: "Leave this matter to me, Master, just wait for the wedding banquet."

For some reason, she was certain that this marriage would be successful.

Just looking at the looks of Wei Cheng and Jin Yu, she felt full of confidence.
