MTL - The Male Lead Doesn’t Cooperate-Chapter 52

Before Chu Mingjia's death, his parents entrusted Chu Mingjia's marriage to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu also treated her niece as her own daughter, but Chu Mingjia's grandmother is still alive, and there are other people in the Chu family. The Chu family said.

Mrs. Liu took Chu Mingjia to Chu's house and talked about it with Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu pondered for a while, then said: "Ming Jia's mother entrusted Ming Jia's marriage to you, you are the ones to decide this matter. You are Ming Jia's aunt, and you will only take care of her in everything, I can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked slightly relaxed. Although she and the master valued Song Cun and could see his nature from his behavior, others might not value it. After all, he is just a young scholar now, and the Chu family was very dissatisfied. normal. Unexpectedly, the old lady did not obstruct the marriage.

Mrs. Chu glanced at her, and said lightly: "I, as a grandmother, can understand Mingjia's character. She is my granddaughter, how can I not love her? What's more, she has no parents at a young age. As long as she Live a comfortable life, and let her do the marriage."

Mrs. Liu was a little touched, she said: "Mingjia is really the greatest blessing in her life to be your granddaughter."

Chu Mingjia's eyes were also slightly red. When she came, she was full of anxiety, fearing that her grandmother would not agree to this marriage. She doesn't want to marry as high as her two cousins, and she doesn't want to live with a mask. She just wants to find a husband who won't underestimate her when she talks about the script, and can make her feel at ease.

Mrs. Chu looked into her granddaughter's wet eyes and said, "Your greatest blessing is to marry well. Grandma hopes that you will be blessed."

What is a good marriage, until the last moment, no one can be sure

"You are Song Cun?"

After school, Song Cun walked to the carriage that came to pick him up at home. He was about to get into the carriage when he heard a voice. He followed the voice and saw that it was a man who had reached a weak crown. He glanced at him and said, "I'm Song Cun, I don't know who you are?"

"I'm Chu Mingcheng!"

Chu Mingcheng heard that his younger sister had taken a fancy to him, and that the man was a disciple of his uncle. He was studying in the Imperial College, and after inquiring about the man's name, he came to the Imperial College after he was sent to the Yamen, intending to meet him. What is the difference? Let uncle and aunt tell him to his sister. What's more, he only has one younger sister, so he can't make a marriage in a muddle.

Song Cun blinked, Chu Mingjia, Chu Mingcheng, probably Chu Mingjia's elder brother, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "So it's Brother Chu."

Chu Mingcheng snorted, and pointed to the front: "This is not a place to talk! Fang, there is a restaurant over there, let's talk in the restaurant?"

Song Cun nodded.

The two sat down in the private room of the restaurant, and the waiter came up and asked, "What do you two guests want?"

Song Cun ordered a few dishes, looked at Chu Mingcheng, Chu Mingcheng waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want."

Song Cun said with a smile: "Bring me the best tea you have here."

The shop clerk smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I'll be here right away."

When the shop waiter went out, Chu Mingcheng looked at Song Cun with critical eyes, and said, "Why didn't you call for wine?"

Song Cun said without changing his face: "I thought Brother Chu came to talk about something with me, and it's a waste of time to drink, so let's drink tea."

Chu Mingcheng snorted softly, but didn't say anything. Looking at his smiling face, he asked, "You are just a scholar now, what qualifications do you have to marry my sister?" His tone was aggressive, his eyes were tight Staring at Song Cun.

Song Cun smiled again, and asked calmly, "I don't know what kind of man Chu brother thinks is qualified?"

Chu Mingcheng said: "Don't talk about anything else, just talk about family background. Our eldest daughter of the Chu family married the eldest son of the Yu family. He is now a fourth-rank official. The second daughter of the Chu family married the eldest son of the Zheng family. Earl. Although you are the son of the Marquis Mansion, you are a concubine, and your family has been separated, and now you are only a scholar. Compared with them, you are far behind, and there is no one better than them."

Song Cun said: "Brother Chu, you are wrong."

Chu Mingcheng looked at him with raised eyebrows, and asked, "You think what I said is wrong?"

Song Cun said: "I said Brother Chu is wrong, not because you said that the facts known to everyone are wrong. Compared with them, my status and status are far different, and there is really nothing comparable."

Chu Mingcheng glanced at him proudly.

Song Cun didn't take it seriously, glanced at him, and said instead: "I marry a wife just to marry a wife, not in a marriage, I don't know how to take a concubine, a wife is someone who will spend my life with me, I will respect her, love her, let her Live the life you want as much as you can.”

Chu Mingcheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help stabbing: "Why don't you let her live the life you want?"

Song Cun said, "If Ms. Chu was a power grabber, we wouldn't be sitting here talking at this moment. As Ms. Chu's elder brother, I think you should know what kind of family she is suitable for. I don't think anyone can match her." I'm more suitable for her."

Chu Mingcheng was offended by his cheekiness, and said, "You don't have any self-knowledge."

Song Cun smiled slightly! She smiled and said, "I think this is just a manifestation of my self-knowledge. If you really love Miss Chu, you will seriously consider which man is qualified to be your sister-in-law."

Chu Mingcheng had never seen such a thick-skinned young man.

He knows his sister, she is not a girl who can take offense, she likes to live an unfettered life, and he also knows that she is reading books such as storybooks and travel notes in hiding. I know that if she is not strict with her, she will be wronged because of this matter after she gets married in the future. After all, the world is harsh on women and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

What's more, in the entire capital, only the Zhou family has the family rule of thirty childless concubines, and other families, even the Chu family, don't have this rule. Since Song Cun was able to say that he would not take a concubine before the engagement, even if he broke his promise in the future, he would not take a concubine in the first few years when he wanted to get married. At that time, his sister had already established a firm foothold, and that was enough.

What he needs is not a high-ranking sister-in-law, but a brother-in-law who can respect and love his sister.

Song Cun said with a smile: "This is inevitable."

For Song Cun, Chu Mingcheng was basically satisfied, and said in a slow tone: "Since we have already negotiated, let's find a time to come to the house to propose marriage."

Now that his younger sister has agreed to the marriage, he has also tested Song Cun, and there will be a family in the future, so there is no need to make things difficult for him.

The matter was settled, and after going back, Song Cun hired an official matchmaker, went to the Chu family to propose a marriage according to the rules, and got the woman's character. The Gengtie keepsake was exchanged.

The matchmaker went to the Chu family to ask for a date, and after counting the days, the two parties agreed that the wedding date would be set in half a year. At this point, Song Cun's marriage was settled.

After Song Cun and Chu Mingjia fixed their marriage date, Mrs. Liu did not give him more preferential treatment just because he was his future niece and son-in-law, and treated every student equally. Next year is the year of the competition, gentlemen needless to say, the students who are going to take the provincial examination will all get nervous.

The rural exam is more difficult than the college exam, and Song Cun didn't dare to take it lightly. In order to make better use of his time, he moved directly to the Imperial College to live in. He lit up the lights every night and read a lot of books. He not only had to review the Four Books and Five Classics, but also read history books. He had read the history books of this time and space before, and he planned to memorize them so as not to be confused with the history of the previous world. During the exam, I wrote the names of people who should not appear, so I couldn't explain clearly
