Yanmenchun

Chapter 62

She didn't answer Princess Baoqing's question, and asked directly, "What about the other one?"

Princess Baoqing didn't understand why she avoided Huo Xiangxiang, so he said, "My mother's cousin has an eldest daughter who is very beautiful, dignified and generous, and her maiden name is Song Jinghong."

The imperial concubine's natal family was in the first generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and she was born in a famous family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Princess Baoqing explained: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, but no matter how rich they are, they are not as good as the center of power. My aunt is jealous that my mother is married well, so she wants my cousin to marry in Kyoto. I also have selfish intentions. This cousin gets along well with me, there is nothing wrong with her, if she can become Mrs. Hou at a young age, that would be great, if you don't mind, I'll go back and ask my mother."

For the cousin of Princess Baoqing, she wanted to call Princess Concubine Shizi her aunt, which meant she was married to Prince Gong's mansion. To be honest, it was a matter of mutual benefit, Shen Tuchan nodded.

Princess Baoqing smiled when she saw that she was willing, "Don't you have an aunt? I remember she is the wife of the minister of rites. Don't you know more about cousins?"

Shen Tuchan has an aunt who is the wife of Lu Peng, the minister of rites. Her maiden name is Shentu Fangxin. She gave birth to two daughters. During this time, she was not in the capital. She took the children to visit her mother-in-law in the ancestral house. If you can't have a son, you have to take a concubine for your husband.

Shen Tuchan was not close to this aunt, and she didn't even have any feelings for the two cousins. In addition, the old lady of the Lu family was a disruptive person, so she never considered the two cousins.

Not only did she not think about it, she also didn't think about this aunt's family when she looked at Shentu Danlin.

She was already very familiar with Princess Baoqing, so she said frankly: "My family is small, the family is simple, the Lu family has a big family, and the old lady loves to make decisions. I don't want my ears to be clean in the future."

Princess Baoqing rarely heard Shen Tuchan say such narrow words, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then I'll go back and ask my mother, and then deliver the letter to you."

Shen Tuchan nodded in agreement.

It was almost dark when she returned to the Zhenbeihou Mansion from Qingfeng Teahouse. The weather was unbelievably warm a few days ago, but there were some snowflakes falling profusely this evening.

As soon as Xiao Man spoke, Shen Tuchan could see the white air coming out of her mouth.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the palace has issued an edict to come in. In the third palace of junior high school, there will be a big banquet for all the officials, and the family members with titles will all enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

Shentuchan then went to Heshou Hall to tell the old lady about Shentu Danlin's marriage, just in time to prepare to enter the palace.

The old lady was accompanying Shen Tuqi to order the Nine-Nine Cold Dispelling Picture. Shen Tuchan had never played this before, so she moved her head very curiously.

Shen Tuqi found her there, couldn't help being a little stiff, and hid to the side.

Shen Tuchan walked away and sat on a chair beside her, the old lady also sat back to drink tea, and Shen Tuqi leaned over the table alone and continued to click the petals on the picture.

The old lady smiled and said after sitting down: "Today I asked someone to bring in a batch of materials. At the New Year's banquet, you juniors should wear brighter and more pleasing clothes. I have never seen you in red, so I made you a suit. "

This is a trivial matter, not to mention that Shen Tuchan didn't wear red, but she didn't wear it in the capital city, she smiled and said: "Grandma loves me, thank you grandma."

The two said a few more words about the New Year's banquet, Shen Tuchan didn't shy away from Shen Tuqi, and said directly: "Today, Princess Baoqing has proposed a noble daughter to me, I want to see what grandma thinks."

Her words were vague, but the old lady understood, and said, "Whose noble daughter is it?"

"It's the niece of Prince Gong's natal family. Her surname is Song. Princess Baoqing said that she is very beautiful, dignified and generous, and looks like a married woman." Shen Tuchan looked at the plum blossom that Shen Tuqi ordered from a distance.

The old lady nodded but said nothing.

This is a little strange, Shen Tuchan asked with a smile: "What's the matter, grandma, do you have any doubts?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Your aunt is going back to the capital after the Chinese New Year."

Shen Tuchan frowned, looking a little helpless.

The old lady knew her attitude just by looking at her like this, but Shentu Fangxin was her daughter after all, and she was also spoiled since childhood, so she had no choice but to say: "Let me ask Dan Lin again to see what he thinks."

Shen Tuchan nodded and stopped talking about the marriage.

After saying a few more words about the attire for the palace banquet, Shentuchan said goodbye and went back, just as she came out of Heshoutang, she saw Shentu Danlin coming towards her.

Shentu Danlin's complexion has improved a lot these days, and his face is even more rosy than before.

As soon as he saw Shen Tuchan, he smiled: "What are you doing standing here in such a cold day, why don't you go back soon!"

Shen Tuchan put on a cloak with a fox collar, she didn't feel the cold, she smiled and said: "Brother, you came just in time, I have something to tell you."

It was too cold in the corridor, so the two had no choice but to go to the flower hall to talk.

Shentuchan practiced martial arts and was young, she never liked to wear jackets, or had a hand stove in her hand, she felt it was in the way and bulky.

Shentu Danlin's injuries were not fully healed yet, but he was holding the stove in his hand. He looked at Shentuchan's hands with a frown, and passed the stove over.

Shen Tuchan didn't really want to pick it up, but she hesitated for a moment, and still held it in her hand. The silk felt warm and stuck to her palm, warm and soft.

Shen Tuchan felt as if she was holding a living organ, she swallowed dryly, and suppressed the feeling that made her a little hairy.

Shentu Danlin didn't notice her abnormality, and only said gently: "What's the matter, what happened?"

At this time, there were only Chunfen and Shuangquan behind them, and Shen Tuchan said directly: "Grandmother is starting to worry about your marriage. It stands to reason that this is beyond my control, but mother is gone. After all, grandma doesn't know much about the noble girls outside. , I had no choice but to participate in one or two."

Shentu Danlin didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and nodded.

The smile on Shen Tuchan's face restrained a little, and she said: "Princess Baoqing said that she has a cousin who is beautiful and dignified, and she is very suitable, but the aunt may...maybe want to get closer, not to mention the princess of Baoqing. , if it doesn’t work, you can look at other things, but, what does brother think?”

Shentu Danlin didn't speak, he raised his eyes and looked at the complicated wooden doors and windows in the flower hall.

Shen Tuchan stared at his expression, Shentu Danlin was really good, outsiders often said that Qin Wenyu was the most beautiful man, but Shentu Danlin was not inferior to him, what might be missing was the high-spirited nobility, Shentu Danlin was a little weak, and there was a gloomy look between his brows.

Shentu Danlin was silent for a while before saying: "Sister, don't worry, you can refuse at Prince Gong's Mansion, I don't want my cousin either."

Shen Tuchan couldn't help being taken aback, what does this mean?
Shentuchan didn't hide her thoughts all the time, for example, she looked at Shentu Danlin with some puzzlement now.

Shentu Danlin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will choose myself."

Shen Tuchan was taken aback for a moment, and asked in doubt: "Brother has a sweetheart?"

Shentu Danlin paused for a moment, but still nodded and said: "No, I didn't know how to tell grandma before, anyway, you don't have to worry about this, I will explain clearly to grandma."

Speaking of which, Shen Tuchan was a little curious: "I don't know which lady it is, or is it of ordinary status?"

Without waiting for Shentu Danlin to speak again, she comforted her: "Status is generally fine, as long as brother likes it."

Shentu Danlin shook his head and said vaguely: "It's okay, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Since he said that, Shen Tuchan nodded in reassurance.
