A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

The Second Prince's words puzzled Song Zan, "What does your Highness mean by this?"

He is the daughter of the Song family, he can marry whomever he wants, why is it that it is most suitable for her to marry him?

Sensing a hint of displeasure in Song Zan's tone, the Second Prince just smiled.

"Uncle, please don't be offended. Let me explain slowly. During this period of time, the Song family should have introduced a lot of families to cousin Wan, right?"

"In addition to the dukes and earls, the other high-ranking families are the royal family. The relationships between the families are complicated and intertwined. My uncle must be afraid that the Song family will be involved in the fight for the throne, so he has not dared to make a decision yet."

"Needless to say, my uncle also looks down on those from lower social classes. It's not that my uncle is snobbish, but those families educate their children differently from families like ours, so my uncle would definitely look down on them."

Song Zan chuckled, "The Second Prince is also a member of the royal family. Why are you suitable when others are not?"

The second prince also smiled upon hearing this, "Uncle forgot, I will never be able to hold that position in my lifetime."

"I believe my uncle does not want the Song family to have another queen. If he does, the Concubine Xian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be happy about it."

"Uncle also knows that I don't have any big ambitions. Now I am in charge of the west, and I am also a local lord, and I am very comfortable. I treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Cheng equally. No matter who comes to power, they will treat me, a brother who poses no threat, well."

The second prince's biological mother was from Xiyue, and it was impossible for a prince with foreign blood to ascend the throne.

Among all the princes in the past, the second prince was also the most low-key one. He had guarded the western border for the past two years and maintained peace in the border city, and was only crowned king today.

Song Zan carefully considered the Second Prince's words and admitted in his heart that the Second Prince was indeed an excellent candidate.

Born as a military general, he is a righteous and open-minded person. He is a descendant of the royal family, but he is not involved in the dispute over the throne.

Moreover, he also heard that the Second Prince returned to the capital today and went to the Eastern Palace and Prince Cheng's Mansion to deliver the earth ceremony. This was consistent with the Second Prince's behavior for many years, and he only talked about brothers with several princes and did not discuss state affairs.

Seeing that Song Zan was still in deep thought, the second prince said again: "I know that the Song family has only this one daughter, and they are very precious."

"Whether she wants to live in the border town or stay in the capital, it's up to her."

Song Zan and his two sons looked at each other. Although they were somewhat moved, since it was a major event after all, they were at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

The second prince was good at observing people's expressions and added, "Marriage is not a joke. I am not forcing you by bringing it up today. I just hope you can consider me when choosing a husband for your cousin Wan."

Afterwards, the second prince changed the topic and talked about the customs of Western Vietnam.

It did not put the Song family in any difficult position and also gave them enough face.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Song Zan ordered his servants to prepare a banquet and invite the Second Prince to have dinner.

I thought the Second Prince would be happy to stay and take the opportunity to get closer to the Song family. But the Second Prince just stood up and said goodbye, and did not stay for dinner.

After the second prince left, Mrs. Song Wang walked in from outside.

"My Lord, the Second Prince is coming here to ask for marriage so openly?"

A few people sat down and a servant brought in more tea.

Song Zan said: "I think what he said today is quite fair."

Wang's tone suddenly became anxious, "My Lord, do you mean that you have chosen the Second Prince? Didn't My Lord say that he would not marry into the royal family?"

Her daughter's marriage had become a major concern for Wang. She would meet with any suitable man she saw, but after meeting them, she would feel that none of them were worthy of her daughter.

He has been so worried these days that he has not been able to sleep well. Last night, he even talked to Song Zan for half the night, saying that children are all debts.

Song Zan comforted his wife, "What the Second Prince said makes sense. If the Song family marries him, it can really save a lot of trouble."

"Besides, the Second Prince is a person who can hardly be faulted."

Song Zan also asked the brothers Song Hongyuan and Song Hongshen what they thought about the second prince's proposal of marriage.

Song Hongyuan pondered and said, "We still have to think about it. This is Wanwan's lifelong matter. We can't be careless."

Song Hongshen's eyes were dark, "Father, do you think he is upright? But I think he is a man with a very deep mind, a loyal man who may appear treacherous."

"Over the years, he has indeed been hard to find any flaws in. But it is precisely because he has no flaws that he has a problem. Even saints have some bad qualities. Unless... he is pretending."

Song Zan thought Song Hongshen was overthinking and glared at him. "Am I the one who is looking for your sister? Is there anyone you like?"

"If I listen to you, your sister won't be able to get married."

Song Hongshen said disapprovingly: "Is this a matter of urgency? At least the character, talent, and family background must be worthy of my sister."

"I don't even want to tell you, what was the identity of the man you showed me the other day? He was a poor student with nothing at home. Even if he gets the top score in the next high school entrance exam, he's still not a good match for my sister."

Song Zan glared at Song Hongshen, "What's wrong with being a poor student? Do you still look down on poor students? Our ancestors were all poor, don't forget your roots."

Seeing his father getting angry, Song Hongshen also slowed down his tone, "Dad, I don't look down on poor students. But we are not selecting officials, we are looking for a marriage for my sister."

"We don't care whether the other party has money or not. The dowry we give to our sister is enough for her to spend in her lifetime."

"But my sister is married into a family. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and has never suffered any hardship. Apart from other things, is it possible for her to get used to the food and other things she eats after marrying into a family?"

"For example, the bamboo salt my sister uses to clean her mouth in the morning, the amount she spends in one day is enough to feed others for a month. What we consider to be ordinary things is considered a waste of money by others."

In Song Hongshen's opinion, the marriage must be between people of equal family background, and the difference cannot be too big. Even if his father and mother were in a hurry, they should not let Wanwan see such a family.

Wang secretly gave Song Hongshen a thumbs up. She was the one who asked Song Hongshen to find an opportunity to say these words.

In the past few days, Song Zan has introduced several young men from poor families to his daughter, which has frightened Wang and made her even more anxious.

Of course, Song Hongshen's "bare bones and four walls" was only compared to the Song family. In fact, those poor students in the countryside were considered to have a small fortune.

After hearing what Song Hongshen said, Song Zan coughed lightly and said, "I didn't think so much. My original intention was to let her marry down so that she wouldn't be wronged."

Song Hongshen snorted, "Whether you feel wronged or not has nothing to do with whether you marry down or not. Rich families still care about their reputation, but small families don't care so much."

Song Zan was at a loss for a moment, "Then what do you say we should do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an imperial decree came from the palace, ordering a palace banquet to be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the evening to welcome the Second Prince.

Wang thought, "My Lord, why don't I bring Wanwan to the palace tonight. Let her talk to the Second Prince and then listen to what Wanwan means."
