Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 24

It was Mrs. Shen's younger sister who came to proclaim her marriage, Tang Xin who was married to the youngest son of King Kang Ping. After Tang Xin got married, the two sisters didn't see each other very often. This time King Kang Ping returned to Beijing with his sons and family Back together, King Kang Ping happened to have a grandson who was of marriageable age. During the peach feast, the second wife of King Kang Ping's family had a good impression of Shen Yingyun, so she entrusted Tang Xin to come and propose a kiss.

Mrs. Shen dragged Tang Xin into her room, dismissed the maid, and the two sisters talked privately. Tang Xin also had some unspeakable secrets. It was not because of the Tang family's ability to marry her into the Kangping Palace because of her father's official position. It is the decline of the Kangping Palace. Unlike other princes and dukes, King Kangping is a very upright and fair person. He will say what he should say and what he should not say. In the report, the students have dug up things that other people's families shouldn't say, even the emperor's family can say a few words.

Although what he said was reasonable, he was not happy when he heard it. The emperor gave him a fief after weighing it up. Those who take bribes and have to support a large family are usually very short of money. Tang Xin only knew about this situation when she married into the Kangping Palace. Now that she returns to Beijing, the expenses are even higher. .

"So this is because Uncle's family is in business?" Mrs. Shen couldn't believe it, and Tang Xin felt embarrassed when she said it. A mother-in-law can't help it, and they are not used to it after staying abroad for a long time, and the daughter of your uncle's family will definitely be married if she marries in."

The dowry will definitely not be missing.

Mrs. Shen continued what she hadn't said. Although she was surprised, it makes sense now that she thinks about it. King Kangping's throne is to be passed on to the eldest son, and the second son has no official position. It just so happens that King Kangping If you don't live up to your expectations, I won't worry about it for you. Now the mansion is still ruled by King Kang Ping. Once King Kang Ping is gone and the eldest son decides to separate the family, the worst life will be the two. Madam's family, it is better to marry someone who is of the right family than to marry someone who is more practical.

"Then you are living back in the old house now?" Mrs. Shen wanted to stop worrying about her sister's residence. Tang Xin drank a sip of tea and felt relieved, "I have to go back, I just come back temporarily, father-in-law and the others live back in the old house, It was repaired before I came back."

"I have to talk to my sister-in-law about this, why don't you stay here and eat."

"No, the second sister-in-law is still waiting for news from me. I'll come to see Huier and Qizhi another day." Tang Xin hurried back, but Mrs. Shen didn't hold her back much. After sending her out, she went to look for Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li hesitated a little after listening to Mrs. Shen's words, "I've never heard of this Kangping Palace."

"King Kang Ping has been stationed abroad all year round, and it is a coincidence that he returned to Beijing this time. We also met the second lady at the Peach Banquet."

"Isn't it true that the second son can't get any seat." What Li Shi coveted even more was the position of the heir apparent, and thanks to her being a dare-to-think, she wanted to embrace everything that was good, a typical one who had never seen the world.

Mrs. Shen saw that she still had to pick and choose, so she stopped going around and said, "Sister-in-law, let me be honest, don't be angry, Yingyun's condition is already here, the concept of the capital's family is heavy, especially the prince Although my uncle has a lot of business and earns a lot of money, he is a merchant after all. In this capital, he can't be said to be famous. If the Kangping Palace doesn't come to say goodbye today, based on the conditions of our two families, we can only find him. If you are in the right family, at most you can find a high-grade." Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand to signal her, Li's face turned cold instantly, this grade is not even comparable to Shen Heye's.

"Since the Kangping Prince's Mansion can take a fancy to our family's Yun'er, then this Ruyang Prince's Mansion is not impossible!" Mrs. Li was still thinking about the young boy she met by chance, and Mrs. Shen sighed, "Sister-in-law, unless you want We must marry Yun'er there as a concubine, otherwise the marriage in the Ruyang Palace would be impossible."

There are many people in the capital who want their daughters to fly to the branches to become phoenixes, and those who have money to do business will marry their daughters into the aristocratic family as concubines. Maybe, but whoever has nothing to do is willing to spoil their own children, and it is difficult for one of the thousand people added to achieve good things, not to mention that Shen Yingyun is still Li's darling, this dispute in the mansion, how can you feel it when you think about it? of.

Mrs. Li was a little frightened by Mrs. Shen's words, and it wasn't because she didn't have any self-knowledge. After thinking for a long time, Ainuodi said to Mrs. Shen, "Then what does King Kangping's second wife do?"

"Then Gongsun Kangcheng is the same as Qi Rui, and now he has entered the Imperial Academy. Think about it, with King Kang Ping here, isn't it a matter of time?" Mrs. Shen talked to her lightly, and after a while, Li Shi has the meaning of talking, "The people in this family are not so attractive, right?"

Mrs. Shen covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law sees what you said, you don't know if you are not in the capital, this King Kang Ping was a lady who was fascinated by him when he was young."

Only then did Li breathe a sigh of relief, "I have to think about it carefully, and I have to discuss it with her father."

"The important matter of marriage needs to be discussed with uncle." Mrs. Shen didn't say any more, seeing that she was interested, it counted as something.

After Shen Heye came back, Mrs. Shen told him what happened during the day again, "Sister-in-law seems to have to think about it again. I think this marriage is still good, and we are all climbing high branches."

"There are too many high climbers. It may not be good for Yun'er to marry in the past. After all, there are many rules in the palace."

Mrs. Shen took off his coat with a smile, "You said it's too high, I don't think my sister-in-law thinks it's too high, but thinks it's too low. She still wants to talk about Ruyang Palace."

"The Ruyang King occupies such a high position, how could the son's marriage be settled like this, this sister-in-law really dares to think about it, if she is allowed to enter the palace, wouldn't everyone dare to think about that position."

From mid-June to mid-June, the weather is gradually getting hotter. Yingxiu got up early in the morning and heard Baoqin talking about the marriage proposal at Prince Kangping's mansion. She was also surprised by her cousin Yingyun, but in January, Shen The family and Gongsun's family settled all these matters, and the wedding date was directly set in the spring of the next year, after Yingyun and Jiji.

"Miss, this Miss Yingyun is married so well, what will happen to Miss's marriage in the future?" Baoqin was a little upset, and Mrs. Shen only cared about others, and put Yingxiu aside, "How do you know that marrying into the Kangping Palace is not easy?" It must be good."

"Why not? That's as famous as the Pingyang Palace. Haven't we been to the Pingyang Palace? We've also been to the Nanyang Hou's Mansion. How big is that house."

"You look at its gorgeous appearance, but only the people who live in it know whether you are happy or not." Baoqin looked at the expression on her lady's face and didn't quite understand what she meant, "Can you live in such a big house?" The house, why isn't it happy?"

"I see, it's you Sichun who wants to get married." Yingxiu turned around to Baoqin, and the little girl stomped her feet and ran out with a blushing face, almost bumping into Qingbi who was opening the curtain to come in, " What are you doing in such a hurry!"

Seeing her coming in with a small brocade box in her arms, Yingxiu suddenly twitched her brows, with a bad premonition.

"Miss, it was delivered by someone from the back door early in the morning." Qingbi handed her the brocade box, and when she opened it, there was a pair of jade bracelets inside, and there was a letter on the lower cover of the box.

"Who sent it, which woman was guarding the door this morning." Yingxiu put the letter in her arms, and before Qingbi could answer, the curtain was pulled open, and Shen Yinghui rushed in with a rather unkind expression.

"What happened in such a hurry?" Yingxiu calmly pressed the letter under the cushion, gently closed the brocade box and put it aside, beckoning Qingbi to bring some food.

"Haven't you heard that my mother said she would prepare a marriage for cousin Yingyun, and build another attic next to me." Mrs. Shen originally wanted Shen Yinghui and Yingyun to live together. It will take so long until they get married next year. She couldn't live in the guest room all the time, but Shen Yinghui didn't want to, so Li threw away the banknote and wanted to build another attic for her daughter to marry. It happened to be vacant next to Yinghui, so she was even more unhappy, "Why? She has to let her get married, this is still my family, what's the big deal, I will marry better than her in the future!"

Qingbi quickly brought up scented tea and snacks, and Yingxiu poured her a cup, "That's natural."

"Mother also asked me to accompany her more, she still needs my company, sitting next to the rockery all day, I can't see her away even in the wind and the sun!" Yinghui was tired of talking, took a sip of tea and continued. Said, Yingxiu couldn't restrain herself, and laughed out loud.

These days when Shen Yingyun was in the Shen Mansion, she really had nothing to do and went to the rockery to sit in a daze and didn't speak, but when she came out of Yinghui's mouth, it became more interesting.

"What are you laughing at? She's almost taking this as her own. You can still laugh!" Yinghui is a child with a full temper. Seeing Yingxiu not only did not share the same hatred, but smiled, she suddenly felt This front is not unified, the problem is very serious.

"This cousin is going to marry sooner or later. How could she take this as her own home? Why are we all from the Shen family? If we don't do well, won't we let outsiders tell us?" Yinghui heard this That's right, but I just can't swallow that breath, and I don't see what I see when I look down, it's already not pleasing to the eye.

"What is this?" Yinghui was thinking, she looked down at the brocade box that Yingxiu put aside, reached out and opened it, "This is so beautiful, where did it come from?" She said she wanted to put it in her hand Put it on, but the two of them are quite different in age, Yinghui's hands are much smaller than Yingxiu's, the bracelet is too loose to wear.

"Second Miss, this is a birthday gift from Young Master Biao to Miss." Seeing whether she liked it or not, Qing Bi hurriedly answered, "Miss' birthday is coming soon, so Young Master Biao sent the gift over in advance."

When Yinghui heard that it was a gift for her birthday, she put it down with some reluctance, and muttered, "If my sister doesn't like it, give it to me. I can wear it when I grow up."

Yingxiu got off the couch, went to the cabinet, took out a small brocade box, opened it and put it in front of her, "The birthday gift my cousin gave me cannot be transferred to you. Do you like this jadeite pendant?"

Yinghui looked left and right, and finally picked up the pendant and tried it on her arm, with a little reluctance, "Then this is it."

After taking the things and finishing talking, Yinghui left her yard and sent Yinghui away. Yingxiu took out the crumpled letter and read it again, and then took another look at the bracelet, and asked Qingbi to bring it. Pen and ink wrote a letter and handed it to her, "Go yourself and deliver this."
