"What is it? Good or bad?"
She looked at Qiu Yu, but her heart suddenly lifted.
"OK……"
Qiu Yu looked at her girl tangledly and said carefully, "No, no, no... it's a good thing but... I can't explain -"
Shen Yanjiao called Qiu Yu into the room and asked her to talk carefully.
It turned out that Mrs. Shen Er and others passed by Long'an Temple when they came back from the eldest princess's banquet. Although Longan Temple is not a national temple like the Great Buddha Temple, it is also a famous temple near Kyoto.
In particular, I heard that it is very effective in seeking marriage and health, and the female relatives of Kyoto have always flocked to it.
Mrs. Shen Er, probably thinking that she was on the way and being invited by a lady from other provinces, took Shen Yanrou and others to burn incense at Long'an Temple.
Unexpectedly, the carriage and horses encountered several wild boars on the mountain road to Long'an Temple. The wild boar broke into the convoy and startled the horse driving the car. The horse and the car began to rush on the road.
It happened to be Shen Yanrou's car. After hitting the rock, Shen Yanrou was knocked out.
Prince Anjun, who was passing by on horseback, got off his horse and picked up Shen Yanrou when she fell out of the carriage.
After listening to what Qiu Yu said, Shen Yanjiao asked: "...Is that so?"
She looked at the mist rising from the beast-head incense burner and was speechless for a moment: she never expected that even if she didn't plan for her sister to fall into the water, something would still go wrong for her.
"Girl? Girl?"
After Qiu Yu finished speaking, she saw that Shen Yanjiao was silent and screamed a little uneasily.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Shen Yanjiao lowered her head to wipe the tea cup that her mother had just handed over, and lowered her eyelids to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"I heard that the eldest girl is not seriously injured, she was just frightened,"
The grandma next to her hurriedly added, "The yard over there is busy at the moment... The doctor has already taken a look, and he should be fine."
Shen Yanjiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just... It was on the way to Long'an Temple, and there were probably a lot of people waiting... In full view of the public, I wanted to hide this, but I was afraid I couldn't.
"Who is saving people?"
Afraid that she heard wrongly, Shen Yanjiao asked again.
"I heard he is the prince of Anjun,"
Qiu Yu hurriedly said, "At this time, someone from Prince An's Mansion is also here——"
It is about the reputation of the daughter of the Shen family, and Prince Anjun's family will definitely not sit idly by.
"Prince Anjun..."
Shen Yanjiao muttered something silently and felt much more at ease. Not the playboy from his previous life, but the prince of Anjun.
Prince An is an idle prince among the princes of this dynasty, but he is from the royal family, not a king with a different surname. Therefore, even if he is idle, he is still a royal dignitary that no one in the dynasty dares to underestimate.
I heard that the Prince of Anjun was also brave and upright, a first-class good person among the royal family's children, and he was also at the age of marriage proposal.
It's just that in the past two years, I followed the general to suppress bandits in the northwest. When he was injured, he recuperated in Xizhen. He had never lived in Kyoto for a long time, so there was no marriage proposal for the time being. Moreover, when royal family members discuss marriage, the matters are complicated and cannot be settled at once.
"Old slave, tell me something you shouldn't say,"
Mammy looked at Shen Yanjiao's face from the side, smiled and said tentatively, "In terms of dignity, it is naturally much better than that of the British government."
The British Duke's wife was the step-wife. Gu Nazhang, who was raised in her name, was originally just a concubine, but Prince Anjun was the legitimate heir apparent.
Even if the prince of Qi'an County is not as good as Gu Nazhang in appearance, as a man... good looks are not too important.
Shen Yanjiao also knew this very well, and she lay on the bed at night but couldn't sleep: this time she was not worried about her sister-in-law, she was worried about herself.
I'm afraid that the British step-wife in her previous life had her thoughts in mind, and if her direct sister doesn't succeed, the step-wife will try to target her again.
I thought I would have nothing to do with Gu Nazhang in this life, but what I saw was a little disturbing.
…
This matter developed very quickly, and in just a few days, the marriage between the crown prince of An County and Shen Yanrou, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, had been decided.
As expected by everyone, Prince An's Mansion was very satisfied with Shen Yanrou, while Shen's Mansion naturally had no objections either. Besides, things have already happened, and with such an outcome, it is the best arrangement for both parties.
Even the royal family Zongzheng opened the door for this unexpected marriage, and a series of etiquette procedures were quickly completed.
At this time, everyone inside and outside Shen's mansion, as well as inside and outside Prince Anjun's mansion, were filled with joy.
Shen Yanjiao even saw a long-lost smile on the face of her always strict father, who was obviously satisfied with the marriage.
As for the British government, they also knew that something unexpected had happened.
Moreover, the formal process of marriage negotiation has not yet been completed in the British Duke's house, and there has not been any acceptance or asking for names. Although they have lost their favorite marriage, the family will not lose face. It's just that the British Duke-in-law is regretful. Just a sigh.
After two days of sighing without the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, the British princess still wanted to get married to the Shen family.
Being married to the Shen family was not only beneficial to the British government, but also her natal family was from an imperial merchant family. Because she lacked some aristocratic literary popularity, she was looked down upon by some powerful people in Kyoto. If she were to marry someone from a noble and scholarly family like Shen Mansion, even she would lose face.
The last time she saw Shen Yanjiao, she felt that the concubine's behavior was a bit harsh, and that the legitimate daughter Shen Yanrou was better. But isn’t this legitimate daughter dead?
She pinched her nose and recognized this concubine. If she had thorns, she would have thorns. At worst, she would train her well after she got married.
Thinking of this, the British princess-in-law secretly sent another letter to the Shen family, regardless of what Gu Nazhang had told her privately before that she did not want to marry the Shen family.
After the Shen Mansion received the letter, Mrs. Shen personally called someone to call Shen Yanjiao to her side.
After Shen Yanjiao got Xin'er in Mozhuyuan, she could only bear the lawsuit on her head and came to the old lady's side speechless.
Shen Yanjiao saluted, and Mrs. Shen took her hand and pulled her to sit next to her.
"Why did grandma call me?"
Shen Yanjiao asked softly.
"Third girl,"
Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "Your luck has arrived."
If Shen Yanjiao can marry into the British Duke's palace, and Shen Yanrou can marry into the Prince Anjun's palace, wouldn't it be a double happiness for the Shen family?
Originally, the marriage of children was decided by the parents and the matchmaker, but the Shen family was from a scholarly family, but they would not sell their girls for profit. Among the noble families who really love their girls, which family would really marry blindly and dumbly?
It depends on family background and interests, but also on the fate of children. Otherwise, if you live a life of resentment against your spouse and live a miserable life, then you don't really love your children.
But I think the third girl should be satisfied this time.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen smiled and softly concealed the meaning of the British Duke, and then looked at Shen Yanjiao with a smile.
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
She lowered her head and said nothing, and then her tears fell down. She could still do this part of the show just by asking.
"How's it going?"
Mrs. Shen was surprised and said hurriedly, "You don't want to?"
Shen Yanjiao still cried and said nothing.
Mrs. Shen was extremely puzzled: "With such a family background, such character, such appearance... you don't even like it?"
If he couldn't even look down on Gu Nazhang, then what other man in the capital could fall in the eyes of the third girl?
"Yes,"
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yanjiao who had been crying silently. She frowned for a moment and then thought of something. She smiled and leaned back against the pillow, "How could I forget that you have been with me since you were a child?" You are so close to my cousin Yunshan. At that time, I thought I was just a kid playing around -"
Shen Yanjiao: "..."
She was stunned for a moment, Cousin Yunshan... Then she suddenly remembered that Cousin Yunshan was born to Mrs. Shen's only daughter Shen Ning, Fu Yunshan.
Fu Yunshan often came to Shen's house to play when he was a child. The sisters had been together since they were young. Later, the Fu family took up a post and went to Jiangnan. Moreover, he was a few years older and saw much less of him.
She is close to her cousin Yunshan...
It was obvious that Fu Yunshan was too stupid. She was close to Fu Yunshan because she could get some good things out of Fu Yunshan every time. That silly kid was the kind who helped her count the money after being sold by her.
