It wasn't like this in my last life

After sitting down, Aqiao accompanied the old lady to say this, and Song Xi had time to ask Song Wanqing, "Is there something urgent for aunt to go to Beijing? Why don't you write a letter in advance so that we can pick you up?" "

Song Wanqing smiled, "It's just that there are some business entanglements in Beijing. Your uncle doesn't care about anything. I thought I was going to come over, so I brought your cousin here to learn more. By the way, your grandmother asked me to take it to you." I have brought a lot of things for you, and they are all in the carriage outside."

"It's hard for grandma to miss it." Song Badai also smiled, "Is the mother at home feeling better?"

Song Wanqing nodded, "It's getting better. The doctor told her to go out more, so it's fine."

Song Xi recalled the business entanglement that Song Wanqing had just mentioned. She and Aqiao were both women, and it was never good to show their faces in public, so she said, "Auntie, we don't know much about business matters, but there are a few housekeepers in the house He is very talented, if necessary, just speak up."

"It's not a tricky thing. If necessary, I won't be polite to you." Song Wanqing turned to look at Aqiao, "It's this child who is always my daughter's family, so I need to trouble you to take care of it."

Song Xi, Song and Eight Dynasties even said "should".

The old matriarch also interjected with a smile, "I have seen many girls in the capital, but this is the first time I have met such a smart and caring child as Aqiao, and he is very close to me. You can rest assured that Aqiao will stay in the house." Here, I will not let anyone bully her."

Song Wanqing and Ah Qiao hurriedly saluted, and Song Wanqing added: "It was the ancestor who loved him, so this child is somewhat blessed."

After joking for a while, Song Wanqing and Ah Qiao went back to wash up, and the things they brought were sent to Song Xi and Song Badai after a while.Lu Guogong and the old matriarch also gave some good tea, and other outstanding juniors, like Song Wenfei and Song Dan, also got some small things, and no one was left behind.

The dinner was served at the old lady's place. The old lady liked Aqiao, so she ordered someone to cook a lot of dishes. She was afraid that the two of them would feel cramped, so she asked Song Xi and Song Badai to accompany the dinner.Of course, Song Wenfei, the old lady's favorite, will naturally be there.This time the old matriarch had other thoughts, and kept giving Song Wenfei winks at the table.

Song Badai was very energetic at the next table, and the old matriarch's eyes were too obvious. Not only did the three of them see it, but even Song Wanqing saw it clearly. It's hard for people to tell the truth, just bow their heads and eat vegetables. I don't know.A Qiao only cares about serving dishes for the old lady, and has no time to deal with the turbulent waves on the table.

After dinner, Song Wanqing and Aqiao went back together.The old matriarch couldn't wait for Song Xi and Song Badai to resign, so she hurriedly took Song Wenfei's hand, "How about it, how is grandma's vision? Aqiao has a good temper and looks like a flower. But they are not inferior to the noble daughters of the capital."

The old matriarch spoke out loud, and there were Aqiao's two cousins ​​sitting below, saying that she came from a poor background... Although it was true, it was really embarrassing for Song Xi.Song Wenfei's face was full of embarrassment, and he turned his head to give Song Xi and Song Badai an apologetic look.

Song Xi and Song Badai knew about the old matriarch's temperament, but they didn't care much.Just looking at the posture, the old lady seems to want to match Aqiao and Song Wenfei.Although Ah Qiao is outstanding, but the old lady is right, her background is indeed lower, with Song Wenfei's current military achievements and the old lady's love for him, it is not impossible to choose a better woman.

The old lady would want to match them up, which shows how much she loves Aqiao.

Song Badai felt that this second aunt and grandmother were really similar, and they were both used to nurturing people.

Song Xi thought farther away, and lost his mind for a while.

After going back, Song Xi did not go back to the room for the first time, and followed Song Badai to touch it in.

"Second brother?" Song Badai was taking off his clothes, and saw his hands slapped, his clothes were half-smooth, and he was full of style.

Song Xi came in without changing his face, and closed the door, "Oh, I can't sleep after seeing my aunt today. Did I disturb you?" She turned around pretending to be melancholy, "Then I'll go back first."

"Farewell, second brother, you're here, let's rest here tonight." Song Badai quickly took off his underwear and patted the other side of the couch, "I also have something to say to second brother."

Song Xi let out an "hey" without even a moment of hesitation, and quickly undressed and went to bed.

"Second brother, what are you going to ask me today?" Quan Xi interrupted him in the middle of the conversation.Song Badai remembers that Song Xi was very serious at that time, and intuition is very important.

Song Xi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his Xiaoba to still think about it, but it's better to be simple and rude to Song Xiaoba.After thinking about it, he said: "It's nothing. Your majesty's decree of marriage may come down one day. I just feel a little hard to accept it. Sometimes I think it's good to just stay away from marriage." Yes. Xiaoba, do you think the second brother is quite stupid?"

It wasn't long before Song Badai forgot that Song Xi was going to get married, and he brought it up again by himself.However, his second brother thought the same thing as him, and Song Badai was a little excited, "Second brother, I think the same way. There is an extra woman between us, so it will be more rewarding!"

Then Song Badai sighed again, "But we still have to get married after all. You are the grandson of the Duke's mansion, and you have to think about the Duke and the old lady if you don't think about yourself. Alas, can you not marry some princess? , at least pick someone I know, it’s best to be gentle, I can still live next door to you, even if she goes to look for you every day, she won’t be angry..."

Song Xi turned his face darkly, what was he expecting!

Song Badai poked him, "Second Brother, it's quite appropriate for me to look at Cousin Aqiao."

When Aqiao was mentioned, Song Xi immediately became nervous.He turned his head, looked carefully at Song Badai's expression, and after confirming that he had no other thoughts, he said: "My aunt brought Cousin Aqiao here at this time, I guess there is another plan in it, maybe, maybe it's to bring her She promised you, you see she is so nice, does she have other thoughts?"

Song Badai was taken aback, "Is this not possible?"

Song Xi looked at him sourly, "What is your identity, the fifth prince today! If she knows something, it's not surprising that she has this idea. What about you, do you really think her good?"

"How is it possible?!" Song Badai immediately retorted, and then realized that this seemed to be disrespectful to Cousin Aqiao, and hurriedly added: "Cousin Aqiao is very good, but I treat her as a younger sister, do you remember us The first time we met, how old was she at that time. It's really impossible, second brother, don't talk nonsense."

Song Xi snorted twice, "Do you even remember the first time we met?" A big stone was finally put down in his heart.

Song Badai stared at him, the two looked at each other, and time suddenly stopped.

After a while, Song Xi coughed, turned his head with his face flushed, and turned his back to him, his heart beat violently.Song Badai also seemed to feel something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.Seeing his second brother turn around, thinking that he must be sleepy, he also closed his eyes. After a stick of incense, he fell into a bubbling sleep.

It took Song Xi a long time to calm down. She felt a little embarrassed, and didn't know what his Xiaoba meant, so she pretended to be asleep and turned over, and then secretly squinted a crack to look out.At this glance, he knew that in addition to playing the piano to cows, there is also a saying of playing the piano to "pigs" in this world.

Turn around and fall asleep in anger.

In the early morning of the second day, Song Badai got up, Song Xi had just returned from practicing, the two of them washed up, and were about to eat something, when someone came to report, and the two of them were stunned—it was the Duke of the State who came A servant who needs to be around.

"My lord, my lord ordered you to go there immediately, there is a decree from the palace."

Song Xi's face changed, and there was a hint of doubt on his face.He glanced at Song Badai with a gloomy expression.Song Badai seemed to have guessed it too, and his heart sank suddenly.It was the first time for the two of them to have such a dull atmosphere, and neither of them spoke.Song Xi raised her hand to pat him on the head, hesitated for a moment, then put it down, and followed the visitor.

The decree came so urgently, maybe it was something else?Song Badai guessed wildly that there were not a few mouthfuls of food on the whole table.The wait was long, and it was so long that Song Badai began to get upset.

It's just that sometimes, what you wait for is often not the result you want.In less than a moment, the news spread throughout the Duke's Mansion—His Majesty personally decreed that Song Xi and the Princess of Zhenxi Wangfu be married, and the marriage would be completed after Song Xi performed the coronation ceremony.For the entire Duke's Mansion, this is a supreme honor and grace.The master is favored, and the servants are also happy.

It's just that the person involved is obviously not that happy.

in the study.

Song Xi held the imperial edict without any joy on his face.

"Grandpa, can you tell me why Your Majesty suddenly made an order?" When he entered the palace to meet, he made it very clear to the emperor that he didn't want to get married for the time being, and if he had to, he had to choose that person himself.Although the emperor was a little disappointed at that time, he agreed.

Now that he suddenly made an order, he was caught off guard.Why did His Majesty suddenly change his mind?

Song Xi stared fixedly at Lu Guogong.

Lu Guogong put away his smile, "That's right, I brought it up to His Majesty when I entered the palace. A Xi, could it be that you already have a sweetheart? If so, you can just say it, who is the girl from which family, who is the girl from which family, and waits for the princess. After passing through the door, if your grandfather comes to ask for your marriage, but you will not be able to be a real wife, your grandfather will give up his old face and go to the palace to ask His Majesty for a favor, and it is enough to give her an imperial order."

The grandparent and grandson looked at each other with astonishing coercion.

Lu Guogong was the first to speak, and his tone was unprecedentedly severe, "Axi, those who have achieved great achievements must give up something, you are too emotional. Obsessed with useless things, for you, for him..."

Song Xi raised her head abruptly, hiding the panic of being punctured, "Grandfather is worrying too much, I don't like anyone." The bright yellow symbol of power in his hand was wrinkled, but Song Xi's tone was unprecedentedly calm, "Since it is His Majesty's will, the king's order is the same, and the grandson must obey."
