Xiling County, located in the southwest of the Tang capital, is one of the six counties under the jurisdiction of the capital.

Because it is close to the capital, at least 60% of the fields in Xiling County are controlled by the nobles and officials of the capital. The people of Xiling County either became professional tenant farmers, or they could only escape from Xiling and hide their names in remote places far from the capital.

South Street is the most prosperous street in Xiling County, and the pavement along the street is rare.

Songji Restaurant, located on South Street in Xiling County, is a time-honored restaurant that has been passed down for several generations.

It is said that the plaque of the Songji Food Building was written by Emperor Taizu, the founding country of the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this honor that although the Songji Food Building has no big backers, it can always stand on the South Street of Xiling County.

However, success is also a plaque, and defeat is also a plaque.

Song Ji Restaurant, a plaque inscribed by Emperor Taizu, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, is now gone.

Losing such a treasure, the Song family was completely panicked.

Once the news is known to the court, a disrespectful charge will be detained, and the whole family will be finished.

Song Defu is the current head of Songji Restaurant.

After knowing that the plaque was stolen, he immediately blocked the news and took care of the guards who guarded the plaque and the Song family.

"Father, you can't wrap fire in paper!"

Song Yuan is the apple of Song Defu's palm and his only heir.

Originally, Song Defu was going to recruit his daughter.

But now, Song Defu just wants to quickly marry his daughter.

Married daughters pour water out of the door.

In this way, even if the incident broke out that Song Ji Restaurant lost the plaque written by Taizu, his precious daughter would not be implicated.

"This kind of thing, the more you hide it, the more difficult it will be in the future."

"In the opinion of my daughter, it is better to report to the official directly!"

"Daughter, you can't report to the official!"

Song Defu's face was as if it was plain, "If the plaque is lost, even if it is stolen, if a charge of poor custody is detained, our family will be ruined."

"If we are charged with other crimes, our family will not be able to survive!"

Song Defu looked at his daughter bitterly, "It doesn't matter what my father does, but my daughter, my father promised your mother that he will take good care of you."

"father!"

Song Yuan couldn't help crying when he heard Song Defu say this.

"Daughter, now, father can only find you an in-law's family. As long as you get married, then even if our family suffers a great disaster, it will not affect you!"

"It's just that without the support of your parents' family, you will have to swallow your anger when you live in your husband's family in the future!"

"Father, I'm not married, I'll accompany you, no matter what disasters or crimes you suffer, my daughter will accompany you!"

"Silly girl, you are stabbing your father's heart with a knife!"

Song Defu took a deep breath, "Listen to Dad, get married!"

"The sin of losing the plaque given by the Emperor Taizu, father alone will do!"

Song Defu has already made up his mind, and he will take care of it alone. Whether it was exile or beheading, he recognized it. Their Song family, relying on this plaque, has been able to live peacefully for several generations, and it is also profitable.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, someone is looking for you!"

Just when Song Defu and his daughter were sad, the concierge came.

"who?"

Song Defu quickly cleaned up his face, returned to his usual appearance, pushed the door and walked outside.

"Xiao didn't know him, he didn't say it, he just asked Xiao to bring this to you!"

The concierge quickly handed the envelope in his hand to Song Defu.

"You invite someone to the living room first, and I'll go there right away!"

Song Defu took the envelope and sent it to the concierge first, then opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The letter paper is very thin and soft, with a line of text printed on it.

The text was scribbled and difficult to read, but Song Defu's expression changed instantly, because this rubbing was exactly the inscription of Taizu on the Taizu plaque that his family lost.

In an instant, Song Defu's body trembled.

At this moment, he didn't know whether it was excitement or fear.

"Daughter, girl!"

Suddenly there was news of the stolen plaque, Song Defu's head shook a little, and he felt that he could no longer think.

"Father, what happened?"

Song Yuan hurriedly came out of the room, and when he saw Song Defu's excited and trembling appearance, he was also taken aback.

"Look, look!"

Song Defu put the paper in his hand into his daughter's hand.

Song Yuan quickly opened the thin piece of paper and saw the rubbing on it, and was also excited.

"Father, we are saved, saved!"

Since someone sent the rubbing of the plaque, it means that the other party is about to make a condition.

"Dad, I'm with you!"

"well!"

Song Defu's spirit was very chaotic at the moment, and he was also worried that he would be fooled by the other party when he saw that person later. Thinking that his daughter would be able to follow along and take care of him, he did not refuse Song Yuan's request.

Soon, the father and daughter went to the living room of the Song family mansion and saw the person who sent the letter.

The visitor looked at his age, at most in his twenties, and looked like a talent. He was wearing a robe that only scholars and scholars would wear, and was sitting calmly on a chair.

Seeing the arrival of Song Defu and Song Yuan's father and daughter, the man immediately stood up and bowed to Song Defu very politely.

Song Defu and Song Yuan's father and daughter returned the salute one after another, and then the host and guests took their seats.

"what do you want?"

Song Defu simply looked at each other directly, got straight to the point, and went straight to the subject.

"Father-in-law is on top, and the youngest son-in-law proposes himself, and is willing to be the son-in-law!"

Hearing Song Defu's question, the man actually stood up and saluted Song Defu again.

Hearing this person's words, whether it was Song Defu or Song Yuan, they were all dumbfounded.

It's no secret that Song Defu deliberately recruits people. After all, he doesn't have a son, so there must be an heir to this huge family property.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Although Song Defu wanted to recruit, but he hadn't put it into action yet, this person came to the door himself, and also stole the family heirloom of their Song family.

Such behavior, such a person, being his son-in-law to Song Defu, he was really a little scared.

"Father-in-law, don't get excited, the younger son-in-law just fell in love with Miss Yuan'er at first sight, so he had to do this."

"To be honest with my father-in-law, my son-in-law's surname is Xu, his name is Yuanzu, his ancestral home is Xujiazhuang, Weihe River, and he is also somewhat related to the Xu residence of the three princes in the capital."

Xu Yuanzu looked at Song Defu sincerely and reported his family.

Song Defu was really stunned for a while when he heard Xu Yuanzu's self-introduction.

Xiling County is under the jurisdiction of the Capital Government. Although it is a little far from the capital, the matter of the capital is not a secret to the Song family who have been operating in Xiling County for several generations.

Taiping King Xu Zhengqi came from Xujiazhuang, Weihe River, and Song Defu naturally knew it.
