Because Shi Langjun took the time to answer Qing'er's questions, the Shi family and the Sang family got closer.
The other families living in the same area couldn't help but whisper to each other when they saw this: a widower and a widower, the man is talented and the woman is pretty. It's just that the girl from the Sang family has not had a child for four years after getting married. I wonder if it is because of fertility difficulties?
If Shi Langjun had a son, there wouldn't be so much consideration, but Shi Langjun only had a daughter. If the two families get married, but Miss Sang cannot give birth...
Grandma Shi believed that Sang Nuanyue could give birth. After all, if there was something really wrong with her, she would be divorced by her husband's family before she could even wait until her husband was widowed. The reason why Miss Sang has never given birth is probably because she has no fate with her ex-husband. If she gets married to her own son, fate may come.
Maybe it was to silence everyone, or maybe she wanted to strike a deal while the iron was hot and quickly settle the marriage between the two families, so Grandma Shi ran even more frequently to Mei Shang Xuan. Basically, there were two trips a day. This was the result of her restraint, but it made Sang Nianyue even more miserable.
She also wanted her younger brother to ask Shi Langjun questions, so naturally it would be difficult to get things done. But Grandma Shi's intention was too obvious. If she kept pretending not to know, or simply lived in such a muddle, in Grandma Shi's eyes, it would mean that she had acquiesced in the marriage with the husband of the Shi family.
But in her private heart, she really had no interest in Shi Langjun and had no intention of remarrying.
Sang Nuanyue was worried and asked Sujin Suxin to work together to find a solution. But the third brother, the cobbler, couldn't stand up to Zhuge Liang.
The master and the servant are not very sociable people, so when they encounter such a head-scratching problem, they can only scratch their heads.
There was no choice but to give Qingzhuyuan more gifts in return, to show that it was not okay to bother Shi Langjun for nothing, and that these gifts were all sincere.
But she was worried that Grandma Shi would regard this "heavy gift" as a token of her love for the marriage between the two families. It's true...this matter is really a mess, and no matter how you deal with it, it feels inappropriate.
While Sang Nuanyue was struggling to entertain Grandma Shi, the old lady far away in Xishan was also tortured unspeakably by her aunt, mother and daughter.
The first two days were actually fine. My aunt and Wang Xiuwen were busy looking for candidates. They often went out for the whole day and rarely visited the old lady.
The old lady doesn't need the company of her daughter and daughter-in-law. She talks to her old best friends every day, which is quite happy.
But starting yesterday, the old lady's leisurely days came to an end.
Just because the mother-in-law and Wang Xiuwen had serious differences in their favorite candidates.
My aunt values the eldest son of uncle Chengyi's family.
Uncle Chengyi was also a hero who followed Taizu to conquer the world, but his descendants failed to live up to his expectations and gradually became a marginalized figure in the court.
Fortunately, the current Prince Cheng Zhenbo is a brave man, and His Majesty liked his honest nature, so he promoted him to the Royal Guards. Now he is also a fifth-grade Zuo Lang general, and he can be regarded as having a bright future.
To talk about the shortcomings of this prince, there are two points that have to be mentioned. First, he is a widower, but his first wife left no children. Secondly, he looks unattractive. His appearance is just like his character, very kind-hearted - in human terms, he is short but strong.
But the benefits of marrying this prince are also very obvious. Not only is the prince's wife not to mention his wife, but also his husband is motivated and not too frivolous. He is a good man who can live a down-to-earth life. Apart from the eldest son, the Chengyi Bo couple only have one married girl. The other relatives on the sidelines have long since been separated and separated.
It can be said that once you get married, you can live a comfortable life behind closed doors. There is no way for your sister-in-law to get in the way. If this marriage is not for the sake of the Marquis of Wu'an, it is hard to say whether they will agree to see each other.
My aunt has really put a lot of effort into finding such a good marriage for her daughter. It's a pity that the daughter is not pregnant, and the girl is not pretty?
Wang Xiuwen had previously agreed with her mother's criteria for selecting a son-in-law, but when her mother gave in on the most important issue of "first-class talent," Wang Xiuwen was naturally furious.
The person she chose was the fifth son of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The Fifth Young Master was of the same age as Wang Xiuwen, and because he had paid filial piety to his grandparents one after another, the marriage had been delayed until now.
However, the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel. This is a hot stove that will always be burned. Therefore, even though this fifth son has passed his crowning years, he really has no worries about his marriage.
Moreover, this fifth young master is not as plain-looking as his parents. This young master can be said to have a genetic mutation and his appearance is very beautiful.
However, his shortcomings are also obvious. He is the youngest in the family, and his elders do not expect him to support the family. In addition, he is sweet-tongued and can talk, so he is spoiled to the point of being spoiled.
This fifth young master failed in studies and martial arts. He was idle all day long. He was not hanging out with his friends in the garden, listening to ditties, or playing chickens and dogs, drinking wine... He didn't dare to do anything that was harmful to the world, but he was serious about things. He didn't get involved either.
For such a playboy, he has become the favorite of many girls in the capital. But who can fancy him as a girl who has a plan in mind?
For a person like this, it was okay when his parents were alive. But if his parents were gone, he wouldn't be able to support his family, and the girl's family wouldn't have to endure hardships if they followed him?
Unfortunately, Wang Xiuwen cannot understand things that a discerning person can understand.
No matter what the aunt said, Wang Xiuwen could not hear a word.
The girl angrily scolded her for being crazy and being deceived by a pig's heart. She also said that she was short-sighted and only looked at today and not tomorrow. In the future, she would not go to her parents' house to catch the autumn wind when she settled down.
Wang Xiuwen was also ashamed and annoyed, so she said that the only solution was for the fifth son not to marry. Even if they went to the streets to beg for food, they would not go to the door of Wang's house.
The mother and daughter choked, and became more and more angry as they talked. Finally, one of them was so angry that she had a headache, and the other was buried in the quilt and cried hard.
The old lady tried to persuade her to do this and that, but the aunt's complaints gave her a headache, and Wang Xiuwen's cries sounded like a demonic sound to her ears.
The old lady had always been pampered. She was already a little tired after meeting so many people these past few days. After being tormented by the mother and daughter, her face turned sallow that night and she lay in bed unable to get up.
She moaned feebly "Ouch" and "Ouch", which made Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Tingyi could not be more loyal and modest. Because he lost his mother when he was young, the old lady treated him as her own son and never treated him unfairly. Shen Tingyi was very filial to the old lady. As long as he was at home, he would greet the old lady sooner or later. Whenever the old lady was sick, he would take care of everything. It was common for him to stay vigil in front of the old lady's bed until dawn.
Shen Tingyi had deep feelings for the old lady. Seeing how uncomfortable the old lady was now, he couldn't sit still anxiously and asked softly, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Tell your son, please tell me. The doctor is here."
Shen Tinglan looked anxious beside him, "Hurry up and ask someone to find the eldest brother. The eldest brother is in front of the emperor and should be back soon. Have someone wait at the entrance of the palace and tell him the matter when he sees him."
The two brothers had no other choice but to massage the acupuncture points on the old lady's head over and over again. At this moment, the curtain outside the door was suddenly opened, and Shen Tingjun strode in from the outside with a chill all over his body.
Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan shouted "big brother" excitedly. The second lady, who had been anxiously beside him, and Zhou Baolu, who was pretending to be anxious, also stood up quickly and greeted Shen Tingjun respectfully.
Shen Tingjun had no time to take care of this. He was swept to his mother's bed like a gust of wind.
The old lady seemed to sense that her eldest son, whom she relied on most, was back. She opened her eyes slightly and called out, "Da Lang".
Shen Tingjun grabbed his mother's skinny palm and squeezed it tightly, "My son is here. Mother, if you are not feeling well, please tell your child. My son has invited the imperial doctor, who will be here soon. Please bear with me a little longer, and I will let you know later." The doctor will give you an acupuncture."
