Su Wan chatted with Sun Xiang for a while, then gave her the tonics he had brought for her, then said goodbye and left.
Sun Xiang looked at Su Wan's leaving figure but felt a little distracted.
In fact, she looked down on Su Wan at the beginning. The rich and noble girls who came from the high-end mansions were all very delicate and well behaved. They would always use their nostrils to look at people and say who this girl was.
Su Wan is naturally a bit delicate, but she is a reasonable and tolerant person. She rarely puts on airs on weekdays, and she is very caring about her maid and the people around Li Lin.
No matter who it was, when talking to her, they acted like they were friends. Occasionally, when they were laughing and joking, their words were a bit insulting, and occasionally they would insult each other. The atmosphere was always harmonious.
Everyone seemed to like her and respect her.
For example, Jiubian, despite being a serious person with a smile on his face, dared to make fun of that couple, he had almost the same respect for these two people.
Later, Sun Xiang really liked this lady and thought it would be good to stay in the Li family all her life. She had a bad temper and a somewhat deviant personality, but she didn't know if Su Wan looked at people like Jiubian and others. Even more, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her.
Sun Xiang did some research on his own, and roughly understood the lady's mentality: As long as she doesn't hurt me, everyone can be friends happily, and everyone can be tolerant of their personalities.
It's really magical.
Sun Xiang met many noble people. Either they bowed their heads in front of her and begged her for help, or they ordered her condescendingly to do this and that. If she couldn't do it well, what would happen.
Like the queen.
When getting along with Su Wan, although she sometimes gets a little annoyed when hearing the truth, she is still very relaxed and thinks she is very good.
Su Wan went to the embroidery room to see the progress of the wedding dress, discussed the details with Madam Zhang, and after coming out, asked Jiubian to see if he was there and ask him how the preparations were.
She went to the outer courtyard and waited for Jiubian to come back. She sat on the Arhat chair and ate pine nuts while talking to Li Lin: "You can go to the Shi family with gifts later. Just walk to both families. There is no need to stay for dinner. "
"By the way, I would like to ask the Shi family what they think of Shi Huixin's marriage. If you are interested, it will be decided when the results of the palace examination come out. If he does well in the examination, there will be more people who want to marry him. Yes, if he agrees, he will definitely offend the other party, which will be detrimental to his future career."
"Of course, if he feels that he has the ability, he is not afraid of anyone, and he is not afraid of others stirring up trouble and adding insult to injury. Just persevere."
Just imagine, if an official falls in love with a student, and then says that there is a girl in my family who is just the right age, well-born, well-educated and polite, and asks you if you want to be my son-in-law.
If you are already engaged or married, that's it, and others won't bother you. After all, you are not the only good man in the world.
But if you are not engaged or married, and you say that you have no ideas for the time being, people will think in their hearts, do you despise my girl or do you despise me? If you meet someone who is narrow-minded and vengeful, you may immediately remember it in your heart. Your stroke.
Some people will ask you a second or third time, but you still refuse, and they are also unhappy in their hearts. They feel that you look down on them, so they will not have too much contact with you anymore, and they even keep you in mind.
If you meet someone else's girl and you fall in love with her, and you put aside the entanglement of identity, then the matter will be even bigger. If you don't agree, the girl's reputation will be bad, and you will become an enemy.
Since it's a hot cake, there are so many people watching, and if you think you can handle it, it's okay, just go for it. If you think you don't have the ability and don't want to offend others, then get engaged and get married to keep yourself safe. If you have a master, no one will keep an eye on you.
For example, Song Zhan was the top scholar at the time. The Qu family of Shangshu Mansion took a fancy to him and contacted him. The two families were interested in each other and put it out there. Naturally, no one bothered him anymore.
Li Lin nodded: "I will raise this matter with them. Yesterday I wrote a letter and asked someone to hand it over to him after he finishes the palace examination. His marriage should indeed be put on the agenda."
"You will marry sooner or later, so why not do it now? Besides, I see that he also wants to marry a wife who is beneficial to his career. Now is just the right time."
After a while, Jiubian came with Manager Zhang, and then talked to Su Wan about the process of preparing for the marriage. The furniture and other items in the yard had already been delivered, and now they only had to hang up the red silk and red gauze. I'm afraid it's going to be windy and rainy these days, so I want to wait two days before the wedding to arrange it.
The utensils for the wedding were all prepared, and the food for the day was arranged with the help of Zhang, the manager. Dried fruits and preserved fruits were bought early, and they just had to be put on the table. The seasonal fruits had to be picked the day before the wedding.
"Then have you agreed on how many tables to host for the banquet?"
Jiubian said: "I asked her several times before, saying that she didn't want to make it big, but it was really troublesome, and the marriage was in a hurry, and many people over there couldn't come, so I discussed it with her and went to the courtyard in the courtyard. Just set up a few tables inside and let the people from Jingpingyuan go there and liven it up."
"As for the folks from the village who came to congratulate us, we will prepare some dried fruits and preserved fruits, plus a piece of meat, and give them to them when the time comes. It can be considered a blessing."
Su Wan nodded and thought it was okay: "She said she wanted two maids earlier, but you found them for her? If you can't find them, you can pick two from Jingpingyuan."
"She has to be strong-tempered, and the people you are looking for should be smart and obedient, so as not to make her angry again."
Jiubian laughed and said: "Thank you madam, I will borrow two people from Jingpingyuan. The people in Jingpingyuan were all selected previously. When the time comes, I will send two more to madam to make up for it."
"That's not necessary. There's nothing going on here. We don't need so many people to serve. Even two less people will be enough." Su Wan thought for a while and asked again, "Have you found a matchmaker?"
"Matchmaker?" Jiubian glanced at her, confused, "Isn't this matchmaker you, madam?"
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that she was helping with many things. It seemed that she had done all the matchmaking work, including horoscopes, picking dates, looking at betrothal gifts, and arranging for people to decorate the new house...
Li Lin coughed slightly, and then said: "You need a matchmaker on the wedding day. If the wife is not suitable, you can find another one."
"There is a sixth aunt in the Shi family. Her parents-in-law are still alive. Her son is also married and has given her a pair of grandchildren. She is an extremely lucky person. You can go and invite her."
