The old lady waved her hand, and upon seeing this, Xu Jining led Song Xiang out of the room.

When he reached the small kitchen at the back, he couldn't help but ask: "Cousin Xiang'er, do you like me?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me. If we get along for a long time, you will always like me!"

Song Xiang smiled and said nothing. After finishing the meal, she said to Xu Jining: "My cousin is a smart person. He must know why I took the initiative to marry him. Although I have no admiration for my cousin, but If you marry your cousin in the future, you will have to be responsible for your cousin!"

"I will try hard to learn to love my cousin, try to like my cousin, and give my cousin a stable life!"

"If my cousin can't accept me like this, I can tell my grandmother and find a better girl!"

Xu Jining hurriedly stopped Song Xiang's words and said softly: "Since cousin Xiang'er treats me with sincerity, I will tell you. I am willing to live a stable life with cousin Xiang'er, as long as my cousin remembers what I said now. , just love me and try to like me!"

Song Xiang promised: "I will definitely not let my cousin down!"

"It's just that I'm going back to Fucheng tomorrow. I wonder what my cousin has planned?"

"What?" Xu Jining said in panic, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Song Xiang said truthfully: "The prefect betrothed her son to me, and also assigned me some things to do. I can't go back soon!"

"What's more, I've been here for many days. If I don't go back, I'm afraid something will happen!"

"What about our marriage?" Xu Jining said worriedly, "I am already sixteen years old. If I don't get married, I will be an old man. People will gossip about me!"

"Cousin Xiang'er, I want to go to Fucheng with you. You won't be able to come back for a while, and we don't know how long our affairs will be delayed..."

Song Xiang frowned and felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle. She said tentatively: "I will marry my cousin sooner or later. If I can't run away, why don't I stay at home with my grandmother and wait until I pass the monthly exam?" Send someone to pick you up?”

Xu Jining shook his head and said: "Cousin, this method won't work. Please don't abandon me, okay? I can skip the wedding and just sign a marriage contract with you. Just take me away!"

"Grandma will never leave me at home!"

Song Xiang could only compromise: "Okay, let's go see grandma together!"

When he arrived at the front hall, Song Xiang found Tan Yan talking to his grandmother in a sincere manner, and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.

"Sister Tan Yan, why are you here?"

Hearing Song Xiang's voice, Tan Yan turned around and said, "I will ask the old lady to marry Mr. Song again!"

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said: "Ms. Tan has a good family background, good knowledge, and a good family background. I am very much in favor of this marriage. I am just waiting for Miss Tan to come back to the city and make an appointment!"

Tan Yan said respectfully: "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the old lady. When I go back and report my mother and father, I will come over to marry the eldest son of Song!"

"Okay, okay!" The old lady responded, looking at Song Xiang, and said angrily, "Just now, Miss Tan said that the prefect married her son to you. Why didn't you do such a big thing? Did you tell grandma that you knew?"

Song Xiang said hurriedly: "Grandma, don't blame me. I came here in a hurry and took care of household matters, so I forgot about it. If I hadn't talked about the marriage with my cousin just now, I wouldn't have been able to remember it!"

"Grandma, please don't be angry! I never meant to hide it from grandma!"

The old lady said kindly: "Grandma didn't mention this to blame you. She was afraid that you would make a mistake and lose etiquette in front of the prefect!"

"Although our Song family is not a wealthy family, we should still have the dignity that should be given to the prefect. You can't be arrogant just because you are a scholar. The prefect admires you very much, so you can't treat her poorly. The son of the family!"

Song Xiang nodded repeatedly.

The old lady then ordered Mrs. Qian next to her: "Go and get the wooden box beside my bed!"

Mrs. Qian went to the inner room in surprise, and came over with a box after a while: "Old lady, these are the pairs of hairpins you gave to the old lady when he was still alive..."

"You use it every day to see things and think about people..."

The old lady stared at the box with soft eyes, and finally handed it to Song Xiang's hand and said: "Take it, give these hairpins to the prefect's son and Yan'er. They were born in a wealthy family, so they cannot give ordinary things. !”

Song Xiang slowly took it, feeling that the box in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Her grandmother did not give the pair of hairpins to Song Yun, but gave them to herself alone. It was self-evident what she thought, how could she let her down?

"Grandma, although I dare not say no to the gift from my elders, these hairpins are very precious to you. If I give them away, you won't even have the last thought of them!"

"Silly boy, my affection for your grandfather is all in my heart. I can't take this thing with me forever, so why not give it to your husbands so that we can have peace and harmony!"

Song Xiang said with tears in his eyes: "Xiang'er thanked grandma for both of them!"

Seeing this, Xu Jining stepped forward and said, "Grandma, cousin Xiang'er is going back to Fucheng tomorrow. What should I do about my marriage to my cousin?"

"Cousin Xiang'er will stay in Fucheng for a long time and will definitely not be able to return to Fengbian County for a while. How will Xiang'er and I see each other in the future?"

The old lady calmed down, thought for a while and said: "Who said grandma would leave you in Fengbian? If you follow Xiang'er to Fucheng, you can also take care of her daily life. You are cousins, so you are better than others. My husband is close to me, and I am very relieved that you will take care of Xiang'er!"

"You go to the Yamen to get the marriage contract first. When Xiang'er comes back at the end of the year, how about I solemnize the marriage for you?"

Xu Jining was overjoyed and immediately agreed: "Grandma is considerate of me, she is afraid that I will become an old man!"

"Don't you feel aggrieved?" the old lady asked curiously, "Which man was not married by three matchmakers and six betrothals? I only asked you to sign a marriage contract and become husband and wife. It saved so many joints. You really don't care. ?”

Xu Jining smiled sincerely and said: "Sooner or later, cousin Xiang'er will organize a replacement wedding for me. Even if it doesn't work, my grandmother will do justice for me. How can I care about these false gifts!"

"Good boy, grandma will not wrong you. You go to the back and write down your birth date first, and then ask Mrs. Qian to get married!"

After saying this, he said to Song Xiang: "Xiang'er, you still need to handle the Yamen Gai Qi matter. You must finish it today, lest I go to Fucheng with you and be criticized!"

Song Xiang held his hand and said, "I listen to my grandmother!"

The old lady smiled and said: "You can't let Miss Tan sit here with you and listen to me talk about an old woman. You should take Miss Tan back to rest quickly!"

"After Mrs. Qian finds someone to write the marriage contract, she will ask you to get it done!"
