"Let's see and then talk about it." Wang sighed and handed the matter over to Su Xun.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the gates of the Imperial City were opened, Li Lin left the Imperial City in a carriage. When he left, he only took Yuanyou with him, who also acted as the driver (car driver).
As the sun rose, the carriage slowly walked out of the city, getting further and further away from a flowery capital.
Li Lin took out a piccolo and played a tune slowly.
The sound of the flute is lingering, and the red leaves of autumn fall in the wind. As time goes by, they turn into nutrients in the land.
Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides. The cycle of four seasons passes slowly, telling the story of each year.
After the song, the world became quiet for a while, except for the clatter of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels turning.
"Sir, there are two roads ahead, which one should I go to?"
"Let the horse go wherever it goes."
"okay!"
...
Li Lin had just left, and Su Wan was indeed a little worried, but it was only a few days, so he could do whatever he had to do next.
After getting engaged, she also had some things to do. Although it would be a long time before the wedding was put on the agenda, there were still some things that needed to be prepared.
What's more, she has to learn to manage a shop. She learned a little bit from Mr. Li before, but now, Mr. Wang has directly given her two shops and asked her to manage them.
The business of those two shops was average. Mrs. Wang said that this was another dowry she gave to Su Wan. If she managed it well, all the money she made would be hers. If she didn't manage it well and closed the shop, it would be lost.
She must be interested in Bai De's shop. Although she already has a lot of things, no one can have too much money.
Then there was the matter of repairs to Li Lin's house, which she had to take a look from time to time.
In other words, after a few days, it was the end of September.
The weather has cooled down by now, and the family has begun to prepare for Su Fu's marriage.
The dowry prepared by the family was passed over and over again. Wang felt resentful because of what happened to Su Fu and did not give her anything more. According to the standards of the legitimate daughter, she should give her as much as she should.
But the daughter-in-law of any family only has those things when she gets married, let alone the daughter-in-law of Jinning Palace. Doesn’t this make outsiders laugh? !
For a legitimate daughter of a high family like Su Fu, there is no one who doesn't get married in a glamorous manner, and Su Fu is marrying to Prince Zhao's Palace. In this case, the little things from the palace's father-in-law are not enough.
Mrs. Yang went to beg Mrs. Wang twice, but when she saw that Mrs. Wang really refused to let go, she just said that she, as a biological mother, should prepare it. Her family was poor and had nothing to give.
Yang had no choice but to fill it up with some or all of her own dowry, which seemed to be acceptable, but when she looked at the few things she had left, she felt a little empty. Without money, how will she live her life...
Fortunately, the family helped arrange Su Jian's marriage. Otherwise, she might not even be able to get a decent betrothal gift.
Because her wedding was approaching, Su Fu had more smiles on her face. She looked like a peony flower that had just bloomed, with a rosy face and a high-spirited look.
Even if the betrothal gift given by the Li family to Su Wan is more than hers, it doesn't matter, but how her life goes depends on her husband and her husband's family. Li Lin is just a small official, but he has the Jing family as his backer. That won't cause any trouble.
And the person she is going to marry is the palace of the dignified Prince Zhao, and Zhao Mingyan will be the powerful Prince Zhao in the future.
How can these two people be compared?
Thinking of this, Su Fu felt a lot more balanced.
The only bad thing was that the two maids beside her were replaced by Yang. The previous Bai Zhi and Bai He were married off by Yang. Yang said that the two of them had a good relationship, and she was afraid that there would be something wrong with her uncle in the future. I am dissatisfied and want to climb up and become my aunt.
Su Fu thought about Zhao Mingyan's handsome appearance, and thought about how well-born the two maids were, so she agreed, and then gave her two ordinary-looking ones as dowry, one named Bai Chun, and the other Called Bai Xia.
Bai Zhi and Bai He were benevolent. Bai Zhi married the steward of a shop, and Bai He married the steward of a village. These two marriages were not too bad. They could live a down-to-earth life. .
At this time, Su Wan and the two girls were eating melon.
It’s really melon eating, holding the cantaloupe in your hand while eating the melon outside.
"Then Miss Song San is really married?!"
"She is indeed married. The wedding procession left the Imperial City today."
After all, Song Pingting was married far away. Because of the scandal between her and Zhao Mingwen, the imperial city was full of rumors. Not to mention King Ming or Qian Wulai, no one even wanted to marry her, even ordinary children. .
The Song family was unwilling to marry her to that bastard Zhao Mingwen, so they asked Taifu Song to come forward, find the son of one of his students, explain the reasons, and marry Song Pingting off.
The other party was out of town, so after learning the news, he made a trip, directly and directly set the wedding date privately, and took the bride away a few days later.
Now it is most suitable for Song Pingting to marry far away.
"Girl, my cousin is here." Someone shouted at the door of the yard.
"Cousin is here, please invite her in." The only person in the house who could call her cousin was Wang Weixi. This girl had a good personality and was clever, so Su Wan was willing to walk around with her more.
Speaking of Wang Weixi, Su Wan couldn't help but think of Wang Weixi's marriage. Her marriage was initially decided. The other party was not Zhou Ranjie as mentioned before, but a student named Du Songling, who was also a Jinshi this year.
After Su Xun checked Zhou Ranjie, he felt that this person was quite good, so he thought about it and asked him secretly. However, Zhou Ranjie refused the marriage.
Zhou Ranjie said that he is jealous and short-sighted, and does not want others to be kind to him.
Now he and Li Lin also have some friendship. Li Lin is engaged to Su Wan, who is the legitimate daughter of Duke Ning of Jinning and was conferred the title of princess. And if he marries a cousin from the palace, the two will be very different. , he will definitely feel unhappy in the future.
Li Lin was a life-saving benefactor to him, and he wanted to get along well with his benefactor in the future. It would be bad if there were any barriers!
So he refused.
After hearing these remarks, Su Xun was speechless for a while, and then stopped mentioning the matter.
After some research, I finally decided on Du Gongzi from Dusongling.
Du Songling's family was also well off. He was a student from Qingzhou and ranked high among this year's Jinshi. Because of his good ability, he was noticed by Master Fu of Dali Temple, who called him to be a minor official in charge of copywriting in Dali Temple.
He couldn't be more upright as a person.
Su Xun asked Mr. Du in private. Mr. Du thought about it and thought the marriage was good. He just asked to meet Wang Weixi. If he thought it was good, he would settle it.
Wang arranged this matter after Su Fu left the cabinet. If there were no problems, this Mr. Du would most likely be his cousin.
