Chapter 73 Song Cuixi's Engagement Was Rejected
He Ying arrived at Song Liu's house.
At this time, Song Liu had already returned from the market street. Because the marriage had been arranged, she was discussing with her husband Song Gaofu how much dowry she wanted.
The Zhou family is rich, and the young master of the Zhou family likes Song Cuixi's appearance very much. Based on these two points, they plan to ask for a large betrothal gift.
Other families want ten taels, but they plan to ask for thirty taels, so that they can pay off a debt.
Hearing someone shouting outside the house, Song Liu hurried out to see.
When she found out that the person coming was a maid from Yan Garden, Song Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly called out Song Cuixi to come and greet her.
"It's nothing serious. Our husband wants to meet Miss Song." He Ying said.
"Ah, yes, yes, then let her go with the girl." Song Liu was both happy and surprised. She invited He Ying into the house to have tea and wait, and then pushed Song Cui Xi into the house, and quietly reminded her daughter to dress up.
Song Cuixi was also extremely happy. She went into her bedroom and rummaged through her drawers looking for clothes and headdresses.
Only Song Gaofu frowned to express his disagreement.
He pulled Song Liu over and whispered, "This is not good. Cui Xi is talking to the Zhou family about marriage. If you ask her to meet the owner of Yanyuan, what if the Zhou family finds out and cancels the marriage?"
"You have such a narrow-minded vision, no wonder you have always been poor! He is the owner of Yanyuan, and his status is nobler than that of a county magistrate! Being his wife is better than marrying into the Zhou family, which is ten times more wealthy." Song Liu rolled her eyes at Song Gaofu.
"You just came over to talk, but you didn't ask me to be a member of the house, right?" Song Gaofu frowned.
"You are so stupid. You have come to invite me, but you are still a servant. Do you think the owner of Yanyuan has nothing to do?" Mrs. Song Liu sneered, "The last time Cuixi went to Yanyuan, the owner of Yanyuan was probably moved after seeing her, so he sent a maid to pick her up."
Song Liu said confidently.
After hearing her words, Song Gaofu felt a little shaken and agreed.
If their daughter were to be favored by the owner of Yanyuan, the whole family would become rich.
Song Cuixi dressed up and walked out of the house to show herself to Song Liushi.
"Very good, very good. Your father has borrowed a donkey, you can ride it and follow the maid from Yan Garden." Song Liu patted Song Cuixi on the shoulder and whispered, "Perform well and try to be a woman that the whole village will envy and hate."
Song Cuixi moved out of the big brick house and moved into a small, shabby house in the old residence. She had been feeling very depressed these days and had wanted to leave home for a long time.
Even without Mrs. Song Liu's reminder, she would have performed well.
"I understand, mother." Song Cui raised her lips proudly.
He Ying looked at the expressions of their family, curled her lips secretly, said nothing, and took Song Cuixi to Yanyuan.
On the way, they met Xia Xiaorou and Song Yuan who had returned from Zhou's house.
Xia Xiaorou glanced at He Ying and Song Cuixi, looked away, and continued driving the donkey cart.
Song Cuixi called out to her, "Xia Xiaorou!"
Xia Xiaorou raised her eyebrows lightly, "Song Cuixi, what's the matter?"
"Are you blind? Can't you see me?" Song Cuixi thought that she would soon become a member of Yanyuan, so she wanted to take the opportunity to teach Xia Xiaorou a lesson.
Xia Xiaorou said calmly, "I saw it. Is there anything wrong?"
"You didn't even say hello? How arrogant!" Song Cuixi rolled her eyes.
"Don't talk about my godmother!" Song Yuan jumped up and swung out his little whip again.
The whip hit Song Cuixi's forehead, and she cried out in pain.
"You little bastard, you dare to hit me? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Song Cuixi was furious and wanted to get off the donkey and teach Song Yuan a lesson.
But He Ying stopped him, "He is Langjun's apprentice, you are not allowed to say anything about him."
Song Cuixi was stunned for a moment, and had to swallow her anger and left with He Ying.
She snorted in her heart with dissatisfaction. When she entered Yanyuan, she would see how she would deal with that kid Song Yuan.
"Look, I can protect my godmother, right? Godmother? I will beat anyone who scolds you." Song Yuan raised his little eyebrows proudly.
Xia Xiaorou patted his shoulder with relief, "Well done, but you have to do what you can. If you meet a strong opponent, you must not act stubbornly. After all, you are still just a child. When you grow up to be as tall as your godmother, you can truly protect her."
Song Yuan nodded obediently, "I understand, godmother."

Song Cuixi happily followed Heying to Yanyuan.
It happened that Yan Heng was about to go out, and he met her at the gate of Zhuangzi.
"My lord, this is Miss Song Cuixi. Madam Xia's sister-in-law." He Ying walked forward and bowed.
Yan Heng's face suddenly darkened.
He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Song Cuixi without saying a word.
Song Cuixi was so excited that she turned over and climbed down from the donkey's back, "How are you, Mr. Yan? Cuixi greets you."
Song Cuixi didn't know whether it was because she was so excited that she couldn't stand steadily, or because she sprained her leg when she climbed down from the donkey, but she just felt a sudden pain in her calf.
Her legs slipped and her body fell to the ground.
The weather was fine these two days and there was no snow. The snow on the ground was trampled by people passing by and mixed with the soil to form muddy water.
Song Cuixi just happened to fall into a mud puddle.
Most of the clean clothes were dirty.
She was embarrassed and panicked, and was about to cry.
Yan Heng frowned, got into the carriage and left.
"Mr. Yan, I... Mr. Yan..." Song Cuixi cried and waved at Yan Heng's carriage, but the carriage showed no intention of stopping and soon drove away.
He Ying sighed, walked up to him and helped him up, "How come you can't even get off the donkey? Look at you... You made Mr. Yan angry. He wanted to talk to you, but how can you meet people like this? You should go back first."
"Can I go back and change my clothes?" Song Cuixi said crying.
"No, let's do it another day. If Mr. Yan wants to see you another day, he will send me to pick you up. It's not possible today. He is unhappy and will not see anyone." He Ying said.
Song Cuixi was even sadder.
As a last resort, she had to ride back on her donkey.
Seeing her come back in such a mess again, Mrs. Song Liu was shocked and angry and asked, "What happened? Did you see Mr. Yan?"
Song Cuixi cried and told Song Liu what had just happened.
Song Liu was so angry that she pinched her and said, "You are useless. You ruined such a good opportunity!"
"Okay, why are you arguing? Maybe there will be another chance in the future." Song Gaofu also cursed his daughter in his heart, calling her a waste. She missed two chances in a row. How could she be so stupid?
Song Cuixi wiped her tears and swore secretly in her heart that she would seize the next opportunity.
The next morning, someone came to Song Liu's house again.
Seeing the person coming, Song Liu's eyebrows almost rose to the sky, "It turned out to be Matchmaker Hu, why are you coming to my house so early in the morning?"
Matchmaker Hu gathered her sleeves and walked up the steps with a faint smile. "The Zhou family asked me to bring you a message. They said that they heard that your daughter has a boyfriend. They feel that they are not worthy of your daughter and want to cancel the marriage. Anyway, the two families only talked about it verbally, and there is no formal date discussed, and there is no exchange of engagement letters, so it can't be considered a formal marriage."
Song Liu's face darkened, "If you want to withdraw, then withdraw. My daughter will marry into a better family!"
"Then congratulations to your family." Matchmaker Hu smiled and turned away.
I was mocking him in my heart, wondering how dare I covet the owner of Yanyuan without even looking at what I look like?
I'm afraid it will be a futile effort!
A joyous occasion.
