Chapter 179
Chapter 179
It's not like he hasn't thought about Song Anning's marriage.
It's just that her last marriage turned out to be like that. Seeing Song Anning's intentions, it seemed that she didn't want to find another one, so he didn't rush to ask.
Song Anning is only 17 years old now. If she gets married for the second time, it will only happen in two years.
The main thing is that my daughter is happy.
As soon as Mr. Song saw him like that, he knew that he hadn't thought about it.
Immediately some hated iron but not steel.
"You, you, what do you want me to say about you? If you don't care about such a big thing, why do you expect others to worry about it for you? You are so old, you don't know how to think more about it, ugh …”
Song Hexing was a little confused and at a loss, "Dad, didn't I think that Ning'er is still young and she can play at home for a few more years? Our family is not short of money and can afford to support her..."
"Is this what I said?"
Before he could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Song interrupted him directly and said with a fierce face: "Look at your potential, you can afford to support her, then you can support her for the rest of her life and let her stay at home and become a child." Old girl, being ridiculed by the world and dying alone, are you happy?"
Song Hexing dared not speak.
Old Mrs. Song snorted coldly: "I know you guys are unreliable. Fortunately, I have already planned for Ning'er. Do you know that there is General Li Shuli in the Li family's military camp? He is the one who killed the man in charge a few days ago. What a traitor, he is so powerful. He has a distant cousin who is only 25 years old this year. Although he is six or seven years older than Ning'er, he comes from a good family background, a family of officials, and his father's position is higher than that of Jiang Rongsheng. Gao, I asked someone to ask about his appearance, and he is also very talented, very handsome, and he is a perfect match for Ning'er."
Song Hexing was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"With such a good condition, can you like our Ning'er? Our Ning'er is married for the second time."
Old Mrs. Song waved his hand, "Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige, okay? What happened to the second marriage? As long as the other party likes it, the second marriage is just as happy. And as far as I know, Ning'er hasn't consummated her marriage with Jiang Hua yet, right? ? If the marriage is not consummated, it will be no different from the first marriage. At most, the reputation will be spread out, but the Li family is a family of military commanders. They have seen swords and blood on the battlefield, so they don't care about this. "
Song Hexing frowned even deeper.
"General, is it too dangerous to go to the battlefield? Ning'er's life is hard, and he has already met an unsatisfactory one. What if there is another problem with his future husband... Forgive my son for being selfish, but he doesn't want his daughter to guard him anymore. A widow for once."
Old Mrs. Song's face completely sank.
His eyes widened, his beard twitched, and he said: "Will you think about it in a good direction? If you come from a family of military generals, it doesn't mean that everyone will go to the battlefield. As far as I know, the boy from the Li family has been I don’t have an official status yet, I just rely on my father’s cover to live my life, otherwise do you really think he can take a liking to your daughter?”
Song Hexing breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out he is a playboy.
Well, dude, even though he may be out of tune, at least he won't die easily, and his daughter won't be left a widow.
As for character issues...
He asked: "What is that man's character like?"
Old Mrs. Song's eyes flashed, "Of course it's good, young people are like that, so don't worry, Ning'er is my granddaughter, will I harm her?"
Song Hexing thought about it and thought so.
If Song Anning marries well, the Song family will be able to rise as high as the chickens and dogs. If Song Anning doesn't marry well, everyone will poke the old man's back. According to the old man's character, he will not do such a thing.
So he relaxed.
"Okay, I'll talk to Jiao Niang about this when I get back and see what she means. Then I'll ask Ning'er. If they don't have any objections, I'll get back to you."
Old Mrs. Song disliked his third son even more.
He has to ask his wife and daughter for their opinions on everything. He is a grown man who is the head of the family, but he still can’t make the decision in this matter?
You have to ask your daughter what she wants when it comes to business, and now you also have to ask her daughter what she wants when it comes to marriage.
Old Mrs. Song said angrily: "You don't have to ask, people may not be interested in Ning'er. After all, Ning'er has been married once and suffered a love injury. If she is rejected by others again, she will inevitably be even more shocked. , In this way, the Li family will hold a flower party next month. You go back and ask Ning'er to prepare it. Just say that it is a gathering of the ladies from the back house. Don't tell her that it is a blind date. Ruo Li's family will take a fancy to us by then. It's not too late to tell Ning'er. If you don't like it, you can avoid Ning'er being heartbroken again."
Song Hexing thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.
But he was still a little worried.
"But this is a bit too obvious. Ning'er has never attended a gathering of official ladies before. If we let her go rashly, will she find anything?"
Old Mrs. Song said: "Don't worry, I will let Yue'er go when the time comes. Yue'er has attended many such banquets in the past, so it's okay to let her take care of Ning'er."
Song Hexing felt relieved.
He also didn't want his daughter to be a girl for the rest of her life, so he just gave it a try and agreed.
"Okay, then let's do what the father wants. The son will go back and make arrangements."
"Go."
Old Mrs. Song waved his hand.
Song Hexing left.
After he left, an old servant came in from the outside with medicine and whispered: "Old Master, do you want me to report to you?"
Old Mrs. Song squinted his eyes, blew on the medicine, and said: "Go, remember not to let anyone find out that this is the boss's idea. If the disaster stays in our Song family, it will only bring us bad luck. It is also good to leave home. "
"Yes."
After returning home, Song Hexing told Song Anning about this matter.
Song Anning was a little surprised.
"Li family? Why do they call us when they hold a flower party? General Li is a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He holds military power. Even if they want to hold a flower party, they will invite young ladies from the same official family as us. What does it have to do with it?"
As she spoke, she picked up the tea cup and blew the foam on it.
Song Hexing had his own considerations.
In fact, others may not notice it, but he does.
After all, if Song Hexing wants to do business, he has to travel all over the country. He may not be at home for half a year. Because he travels to many places, he naturally sees the people's livelihood and conditions in each state. He finds that the court is becoming more and more luxurious and the taxes are getting higher and higher. As the country gets higher and higher, the people everywhere are getting worse and worse.
In recent years, it has developed to the point where many people are selling their sons and daughters. In the barren areas of the North, it is even common for people to exchange their sons for food.
Not to mention that the enemy in the north has been ready to make moves in recent years. They only fought a war last year. Just after the war this year, insect plagues and plagues broke out in various places.
He had an intuition that the country wrapped in sugar-coated prosperity was already unstable, and troubled times would come sooner or later.
