Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525: The Boy’s Heart Has Yet to Awaken
The young lady of the Fu Family?
Song Lingjie’s mind flashed with a vague image.
When accompanying the Crown Prince out, he accidentally encountered two people. One was Guan Shuyan, and the other was unknown. Song Lingjie, wary of someone deliberately setting up an encounter, naturally made some inquiries and thus learned that the person standing next to Guan Shuyan was the younger sister of Fu Jieyuan, Miss Fu San.
Now, from what his mother seems to suggest, does she fancy her?
Song Lingjie said, "Mother, you also said my prospects are good; are you still worried they won’t take a liking to your son?"
Madam Jiang said, not too pleased, "Your prospects are indeed good, but not like Silver, loved by all. The Fu Family is a scholarly family, and that girl has a scholarly aura about her. Who knows what she thinks?"
"When taking a wife, one chooses a virtuous one. I’m not concerned if she comes from a scholarly family or has read a lot," Song Lingjie said casually.
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you think then, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want? Now that we’re having this conversation, let’s speak openly, so I know your standards when choosing."
"What’s being talked about here?"
Song Zhicheng entered with a slight smell of alcohol, noticing his daughter sitting on his son’s lap, making him uncomfortable. He walked over and picked up his little darling.
"How about a kiss for Dad’s sweetheart?"
Yuanyuan pinched her nose, "Daddy stinks, no."
Song Zhicheng seemed hurt, howling, "My daughter rejects her dad; if she doesn’t give Daddy a kiss, he can’t go on living!"
Madam Jiang and Song Lingjie: "..."
It’s everyday antics with too much drama to watch.
"So, out with it already," Madam Jiang urged Song Lingjie.
Song Lingjie came back to his senses and said, "As I said, taking a wife means choosing someone virtuous. As long as she’s reasonable, understanding, not too competitive, with delicate features, and can respect elders and love brothers and sisters, that’s enough."
His most important requirement for a wife was actually being low-maintenance.
Marrying someone competitive would cause endless trouble in the household, distracting him from his career.
Madam Jiang’s mouth twitched, "According to you, family background and looks don’t even matter?"
"Family background doesn’t need to be noble; the most important thing is character."
"What do you think of that Miss Fu San? I happen to know you ran into her when you were out with the Crown Prince. Such destiny," Madam Jiang said with an ambiguous smile.
"There’s a difference between men and women. Am I the kind of lecher that would stare at girls? I didn’t take a good look at her looks, just glanced, seemed quiet," Song Lingjie shrugged. "Mother, if you truly fancy her, you, together with Grandmother and Uncle, can discuss and propose."
Madam Jiang laughed in exasperation and looked at Song Zhicheng, "Look at this; who is it that wants to get engaged?"
Song Lingjie smiled and said, "Marriage is a major matter, requires parental approval and matchmaker arrangements. I’ll follow the family’s arrangements. I have a bit of homework to do, so I’ll take my leave first."
Saying this, he got up, bowed to the two, and quickly left.
Madam Jiang was so angry that her chest rose and fell, glaring at Song Zhicheng, "Look at your son, discussing serious matters, his own major issue, yet he doesn’t even care a bit."
"What can you say? This brat hasn’t even begun feeling such things. Didn’t he say he’d follow our arrangements? If you have your eyes on someone, you decide!"
"You’re not going to manage it?"
"How could I manage it? Should I get into a group of women and check out each girl’s appearance? Isn’t it your job as a mother?"
Madam Jiang grabbed a pillow and threw it over, "Useless, you go away too!"
All of them, none brings peace!
