"Hmph, it won't be that easy for you to marry my daughter!"
"Dad! You're back!"
General Si is still on duty, so he still has to attend the morning court session!
Because it was agreed in advance that Yuji would come, General Si did not go to the army today, but went straight home!
"Uncle Si! I'm Xiong Er, the one you met yesterday!"
Because Yuji was worried that he hadn't made a good impression on his father-in-law yesterday, he made a special effort to dress up today!
He's brimming with confidence now!
General Si merely glanced at him, his gaze as if he were no different from yesterday!
He seemed very indifferent!
Xiong Er immediately sent a distress signal to Song Yan'er, but Song Yan'er said she was powerless to help!
The old lady was speechless. Last night, Old Man Si was very concerned about Si Mingyue's marriage. He even went over today's schedule late into the night and repeatedly told her not to go to her grandson's house to see Xiong Er in advance!
Why does Old Man Si seem so indifferent when it comes to crucial moments?
The old lady rolled her eyes at General Si, who, knowing his own temperament, helplessly touched his nose.
"Let's go inside and talk. This isn't the place to talk!"
"Okay, Uncle Si!"
Song Yan'er...
Why do I feel an urge to hit Yuuji every time I hear him call Tsukasa "Uncle"?
As the group entered the house, Yuuji quickly laid out the gifts he had brought. Old Man Si glanced at them but did not stop Yuuji from doing so.
"Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Have you discussed the situation with your parents?"
Upon hearing that General Si had begun inquiring about his home, Xiong Er quickly replied:
"Uncle Si, my father and mother are on their way, and they should be here in three to five days! I was originally going to wait for my parents to arrive before visiting them together, but I really like Mingyue so much that I want to have a legitimate reason to protect her!"
General Si thought for a moment about the news about Mingyue he heard from General Xiao, and then fell silent.
I was initially against Si Mingyue, a woman, joining the military, but she was naturally strong-willed and insisted on proving that she was no less capable than men!
General Si had considered intervening in Si Mingyue's affairs, but since girls are very sensitive, he was afraid of making things worse. So he spoke to General Xiao to make sure nothing serious happened to her!
But you can imagine how difficult it must have been for a girl like her to survive in the military!
Song Yan'er and the old lady exchanged a glance. They really didn't expect Xiong Er to have such complicated thoughts. Just look at this sentence, it directly earned General Si full marks!
"I understand your feelings, but everything still needs to wait until your parents come. I need to see what kind of people your parents are before I can entrust Mingyue to you with peace of mind!"
As the old lady said yesterday, if a woman's husband is of decent character, there are only two sources of grievances after marriage. One is the mother-in-law's neglect, which is the most important. After all, the concept of filial piety can be overwhelming!
Secondly, there's the annoyance caused by concubines. This is a problem that every woman experiences, so General Si couldn't really say anything. He couldn't very well ask Xiong Er not to take concubines, as that would seem a bit excessive!
Therefore, you must be very strict with your mother-in-law. If you don't pass the test with Xiong Erniang, then you can forget about marrying Mingyue!
Xiong Er immediately understood General Si's meaning and was genuinely happy for Mingyue, after all, she was someone who truly cared for her!
"Uncle Si, don't worry, my mother is very gentle and treats my sisters-in-law very well. Also, I'm worried that Mingyue might miss home in the future, so I've decided to buy a courtyard here. We'll spend most of our time here from now on!"
Unless my mother comes to live with us after we have a baby, she will not live with us!
And Uncle Si, I made up my mind before I even entered this house: Si Mingyue will be my only woman in this life. No matter what, I will never take a concubine or keep a mistress! I swear this to you! If I break this promise, may I die a horrible death!
It must be said that Xiong Er was one of General Si's more satisfactory sons-in-law!
The fact that he doesn't take concubines is enough to beat 99% of people!
When Si Mingyue was fifteen, her family, including herself, started looking for a suitable partner for her, but unfortunately, they never found someone who met their expectations!
Some people come from good families but have bad character; others have good character but their families are full of messy problems; and still others have decent character and family background but lack personal ability.
Over the past few years, General Si has seen many people, but there are always some flaws and shortcomings that make him frown!
When the old lady mentioned Yuji to him yesterday, he sent someone to inquire about his situation in the military camp. The evaluation was very good. As long as he doesn't cause trouble in the future, his future prospects are very good!
General Si thought for a moment:
"So what do you mean now? You want to get engaged right now?"
Yuuji looked at General Si very seriously:
"Uncle Si, I want to get engaged now and get married soon. I want to protect Mingyue openly and honestly. I will work hard to cultivate and climb higher. One day, I will be her pride for the rest of her life!"
Si Mingyue listened with red eyes. She never expected that Xiong Er liked her so much. Having such a husband in this life is worth it!
Si Mingyue really wanted to agree right now, but ultimately it was her father's decision! So she kept glancing in General Si's direction, seemingly without realizing it!
The old lady could tell what Si Mingyue meant just by looking into her eyes: she's really grown up!
"Can you be in control of your own life?"
The old lady broke the somewhat tense atmosphere! She asked Yuuji, who had a serious expression on his face!
"Of course, my parents have said before that I am the youngest in our family, so I don't need to make any contributions. As long as I like something, they will not object. So they have always spoiled me!"
Besides, Mingyue is so wonderful, my parents will definitely love her! They'll definitely treat her like their own daughter!
General Si and the old lady exchanged a glance. Parents who can say such things are usually very open-minded, so they generally won't make things difficult for the younger generation!
Seeing that the two were starting to waver, Yuuji immediately pressed his advantage:
"Uncle Si, my father has only ever had my mother as his wife. My eldest and second eldest brothers have only ever had their wives as their wives. So, Uncle Si, my mother once said that concubines can ruin the harmony of the family. She told us that as long as we find the person we love, we will be happy forever!"
Even now, Song Yan'er is already looking forward to Xiong Er's mother, let alone General Si and the old lady!
Song Yan'er felt it was time:
"If you ask me, let's just write an engagement letter and let the two children be together. Look how much they love each other, I can't bear to make them wait any longer!"
