Chapter 838 He's also henpecked.
"I was drunk at the time. You know Lao Hu, he said he bought some good wine and insisted that I bring back a few jars of it."
After tasting it, I confirmed that the wine was indeed divine, so I asked them to go and fetch it while I went to relieve myself. I tripped and fell into the He Li (a place name, likely a shrine or shrine).
Prince Gong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam, I will definitely keep someone by my side from now on."
"Then why is this young master Qiu suddenly appearing at Uncle Hu's residence? Was he invited by you?"
Chu Qingli looked serious. She felt that things were not so simple. Rather than suspecting that Young Master Song's rescue of her was a staged act, she suspected that Young Master Qiu had a problem.
"I asked Lao Hu, and he said that this was his nephew, whom he had met while playing chess before. He admired him very much, so he let him stay at his residence for a few days."
I chatted with him for a few minutes and found that he was refined in his speech and quite learned. However, because of his status as a son of a concubine, he was not well received in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
The reason he's staying at Old Hu's residence is because he had some conflict with his eldest son.
Prince Gong was well aware of the struggles between the legitimate and illegitimate sons. He knew that if an illegitimate son didn't have outstanding abilities, he would never have a chance to rise in the ranks.
However, once they become capable, they will become a thorn in the side of the eldest son, so it is ultimately not easy for them to stand out.
The group exchanged glances. For Qiu Xingxue, who was in this predicament, if he could marry Prince Gong's daughter, the oppression he faced in the Marquis's mansion would naturally disappear.
If he's open-minded, he could marry into the family directly. Although it might damage his reputation, the benefits would be real.
However, they could understand this mentality. After all, given the circumstances, if you wanted to climb out of the mire, you naturally had to seize every possible means.
However, Qingli has found someone she likes now, and he is good in every way and can take good care of her, so he is naturally the best choice.
"Father, please find a way to cancel this matter. I... I have already promised Young Master Song."
Chu Qingli's voice was gentle, but her attitude was very firm. She had long given up the idea of getting married, but now that she had finally found someone she loved, she would not give up.
"Let me think of a way to handle this."
Prince Gong sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He had returned full of joy, thinking that his wife would be happy, but he had made a big mistake. However, he then became curious about the Song family.
"Madam, it's only been two days, and you've already become familiar with Madam Song?"
Jia Yueying got excited as soon as she started talking about Gu Ruyan. "I had only heard that Madam Song was a good person before, but I had never actually met her. It was like we had known each other for a long time until we met this time. It was like we had known each other for ages!"
If I had known earlier that she had such a good personality, I would have become friends with her years ago.
No wonder Lady Luo, who had severed ties with the Song family over the issue of her child, eventually forgave them. Lady Song's character is truly impeccable.
You should also know General Song. I've heard he has a good temper, and the most favored member of his family is Princess Chu. What does that prove?
Prince Gong looked bewildered. "What does this prove?"
Jia Yueying clapped her hands, "This proves that their family doesn't discriminate against girls! When Qingli marries into their family, it won't be a problem whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl!"
Although people never talk about this kind of thing openly, Jia Yueying knew very well that many families still preferred boys, and families like the Song family were rare.
Chu Qingli was also very much looking forward to hearing her mother's high praise for the Song family, but she didn't expect to get such a result. Her pretty face blushed.
"Mother, what are you saying?"
Jia Yueying, with the air of someone who had been through it all, said, "You're not married yet, so you don't know about these things. Your mother has been through it all, and she knows all too well how important this is."
Take Song family's eldest daughter-in-law, Luo Qingyin, for example. When the doctor diagnosed her as infertile, the Song family didn't care. Song Yanzhou even promised never to take a concubine, and at worst, they would just adopt one.
Such families are rare.
"I have heard about this matter. At the time, many people were sighing that Song Jia Da Lang and Miss Luo's good things had many obstacles, but fortunately, the lovers were finally able to get married."
At the time, I felt that Song Jia Dalang had indeed wronged Miss Luo, but at least he was a responsible person. I heard that after they got married, their relationship was excellent, and now they even have children!
Chu Yingmeng quickly recounted the rumors she had heard, after all, the commotion caused by Song Jia Dalang's divorce was quite significant, and the subsequent developments were even more dramatic than those in a play.
"The Princess Consort of Chu is a miracle doctor. I heard that Luo Qingyin was originally in poor health, but thanks to the Princess Consort of Chu, she gradually recovered and even became pregnant."
The more Jia Yueying talked, the more she felt that the Song family was a good in-law family. After Qingli married into the family, not only was her husband reliable and her parents-in-law good, but even her sister-in-law was first-rate.
Besides, the Song family is currently at the height of its power; who would be so blind as to bully her?
impossible!
Prince Gong felt that his wife's words made sense. "I haven't been to the court for the past two years, so I'm not very familiar with General Song. However, I've heard of his reputation, and his character is absolutely impeccable."
So, I'll go see Lao Hu first and cancel the marriage we agreed on. I wonder if that guy Lao Hu will turn against me..."
……
Song Ruozhen was taking a nap in the room. After calculating the time, she also performed a divination for her third brother.
"What are you calculating?"
Chu Junting walked into the house with grapes in his hand. "These grapes were just transported to the capital. Everyone says they taste very good. You should like them."
"Let me try it." Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. "I was just doing a fortune telling for my third brother. There's actually a change in his marriage, and it's happening right now."
If this variable is resolved smoothly, there's nothing to worry about, and the two can live a harmonious and happy life together. But if it isn't resolved, then it will be a regrettable situation.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Chu Junting's eyes. "What kind of variable could lead to this result?"
"A person's fortune is ever-changing, and a single decision can alter the outcome. However, I already reminded my mother and third brother yesterday."
Logically, there shouldn't be a problem, but I've already thought it through. My third brother has been so good to me, and now that he finally has someone he likes, even if I have to steal her, I'll help him succeed!
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. If her third brother and mother hadn't done anything yesterday, the variables would indeed be great. But they not only did something, they also made things clear, which reduced the variables.
"By the way, does Prince Gong care more about his reputation or his daughter?"
Chu Junting understood Song Ruozhen's implied meaning and said, "He definitely cares more about his daughter. Actually, we don't get too involved in the affairs of our elders."
Back in the day, Prince Gong was a doting husband, and even now, he's still henpecked.
This point was often brought up and teased by other senior princes during royal banquets.
