Chapter 548 Agreement
"You are a good man, why do you become a thief?"
When Song Defu learned about Xu Yuanzu's background, he became even more confused.
With Xu Yuanzu's identity, there is absolutely no need for him to resort to such dirty tricks.
"It's true that my son-in-law fell in love with Miss Yuan'er at first sight, and I'm afraid something unexpected might happen, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
Xu Yuanzu smiled and said, "When it comes to marriage, if you hurry, you'll have it; if you wait, you'll have nothing. I don't want to use my power to pressure others, so I acted this way. If I've offended you, please forgive me, father-in-law!"
The marriage has not been decided yet, but Xu Yuanzu acts as if he has already become the son-in-law of the Song family.
Song Defu had lived for decades and had never seen such a person. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
Although Song Yuan was spoiled by Song Defu, because she was the only daughter in the Song family, Song Defu would teach Song Yuan some business matters in his spare time.
At this moment, Song Yuan's mind was working quickly as it concerned his own happiness for the rest of his life.
Song Yuan actually doesn't really believe in the so-called love at first sight.
But in the current situation, their family plaque fell into Xu Yuanzu's hands, and this marriage would have to happen regardless of whether she agreed or not.
It was obvious that Xu Yuanzu had already taken the initiative, so why did he insist on marrying into the family?
This is the point that Song Yuan can't understand the most.
Similarly, this is something Song Defu couldn't understand.
He had a decent background, and could even be said to be quite influential. For someone like him to marry into their family was unbelievable no matter how one looked at it.
But if Xu Yuanzu had other plans, Song Defu simply couldn't understand what in their Song family could be worth the other party's attention.
Although the Song family owns Songji Restaurant and has some property, this little property is probably not even a drop in the bucket for the Xu family, which has three officials.
"Father-in-law, I, Xu Yuanzu, can swear to heaven that I have no ill intentions towards you or Miss Yuan'er. I truly fell in love with Miss Yuan'er at first sight, which is why I had no choice but to do this."
Seeing that Song Defu and Song Yuan, father and daughter, remained silent, Xu Yuanzu spoke again, almost swearing to the sky.
Song Defu sighed and said, "Mr. Xu, my Song family is just a small family, and my daughter is not a beauty. With your background, my family cannot afford you!"
Although the old saying is true that a rich family marries its daughter, the gap in social status is too big nowadays.
"Father-in-law, don't say that!"
Xu Yuanzu smiled slightly, "My son-in-law is from Xujiazhuang on the Wei River, and is of the same clan as the Prince of Taiping. However, after several generations, I am now at the gate of the Xu Mansion, but they may not recognize us as their poor relative!"
"Yuan'er, what do you think?"
Song Defu couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to look at his daughter.
"My daughter's father has the final say in everything!"
Song Yuan smiled shyly and responded.
After hearing his daughter's answer, Song Defu already understood what she meant.
Xu Yuanzu had a good background, was skilled, and was a handsome man. However, the other party's strange attack method made Song Defu somewhat undecided.
But if his daughter is willing, Song Defu can only accept it.
But before finalizing this marriage, he still had to carefully investigate Xu Yuanzu's background. Although this person had taken the initiative to marry into the family, if there were any problems, he had to take precautions.
"Mr. Xu, I wonder who else is in your family?"
"Do your father and mother know about this marriage?"
After understanding his daughter's thoughts, Song Defu quickly calmed down. He had to keep a close eye on his daughter and not harm her.
"Let my father-in-law know that both my parents have passed away. I came to Beijing to stay with my relatives in the Xu Mansion!"
"I was passing through Xiling County and happened to meet Miss Yuan'er."
"I'm going to the capital now, and I don't know when I'll be back. I'm also worried that you, father-in-law, might have chosen a husband for Miss Yuan'er during this time..."
What Xu Yuanzu said was reasonable.
With a young mind like his, it is not impossible for him to do something impulsive on a whim.
"Then, if your marriage with Yuan'er is finalized, will you still go to the capital to live with your relatives in the Xu Mansion?"
Song Defu pondered for a moment and then asked a question.
If Xu Yuanzu is really related to the Xu family, then his marriage into the Xu family's family and his move to the Xu family's family could be a disaster for their Song family.
Son-in-law is not a nice term.
Normally, unless a family is desperate, they would never allow their son to marry into another family. This is shameful, and it is a disgrace to the ancestors.
"If my son-in-law and Miss Yuan'er's marriage is finalized, then I will not go to the capital to seek a relative. I can clearly distinguish the interests involved."
"Of course, the son-in-law has his own requests."
Xu Yuanzu looked at Song Defu with a serious expression, "When Yuan'er and I have children in the future, one of the boys must have my surname and carry on my family's legacy!"
"I hope my father-in-law can understand!"
Hearing what Xu Yuanzu said, Song Defu smiled slightly and said, "Since that's what you said, Master Xu, how about I marry Yuan'er to you? However, one of your future sons must have the surname Song to carry on the family line. What do you think?"
If Xu Yuanzu was an ordinary person, Song Defu wouldn't have said that. But Xu Yuanzu happened to be related to the Xu family in the capital, so he really had to think carefully about marrying into the family.
"Father-in-law, is this really okay?"
Upon hearing Song Defu's proposal, Xu Yuanzu's face immediately lit up with joy.
Song Defu has been running the Song Family Tenth Floor for decades, and he has a really good eye for people.
In his observation, Xu Yuanzu's various emotional changes were all normal, and he didn't seem to have any plans against their family.
This undoubtedly made Song Defu very happy.
"Of course!"
Song Defu smiled slightly and continued, "However, I will marry Yuan'er to you according to the formal marriage rules. Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts..."
"Of course!"
Xu Yuanzu responded quickly, "Father-in-law, please allow me to go to the capital. In a month at the latest, I will send someone to propose marriage!"
"Master Xu, this is easy to say. However, the plaque in my house..."
"Don't worry, father-in-law. The plaque is on the beam of the original house. I didn't take it away!"
Xu Yuanzu stood up, bowed to Song Defu again, and said, "Father-in-law, time is running out. I'm going to the capital now!"
"Does Mr. Xu have enough money for his journey?"
Song Defu was smiling and in a good mood. After all, the ancestral plaque had been found.
"I have enough money for the journey, so just wait for the good news, father-in-law!"
After Xu Yuanzu finished speaking, he bowed, glanced at Song Yuan again, and then turned and left.
