Mrs. Song sighed: "I really don't dare to delay your marriage any longer. I'll ask your father to write a letter to Mr. Gong and let's settle it like this."
Chen Yanxin was reluctant to let her sister leave Beijing, and she should not hinder her sister's marriage.
"Another advantage of this marriage is that you don't have to be in front of your mother-in-law, and you can make the decisions on your own."
"But the Gong family doesn't have much property to begin with. Mr. Gong earns his own property. Mom will prepare a dowry for you. You can run the business smoothly and feel more comfortable than in the capital!"
After the beginning of spring, there are more sunny days than rainy days, and the wind is also strong, and it feels as cold as the wind on the body.
Qin Shiqiong appeared in Jiuxiao Tower wrapped in a brand new cloak.
"What's going on? I just went back to my grandfather's house with my mother, and you two got engaged?"
Mrs. Qin's natal family is a little far away. She originally planned to stay there for two days and then come back. Who knew she would stay there for more than ten days. When Qin Shiqiong came back, the news had spread throughout the capital.
Wang Jingkang, the eldest son of Qin Dinghou, who was originally going to propose marriage to Yongding Bofu, expressed his happiness at the banquet. The next day, he came to propose marriage with a betrothal gift but was rejected. He became a laughing stock in the capital.
The Yongding Prefecture finally made a marriage arrangement with the second son of Gong Zhifu's family.
Lian Suisui, who refused to marry, climbed up the ranks of the Nine Emperors Uncles and looked down upon the eldest son of Qin Dinghou Mansion.
How many people beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Can she be worthy of someone as charming as the Nine Emperors Uncle?
You know, the Nine Emperors Uncle back then was the dream in the hearts of many girls! Once he fell and lived in seclusion, even if he became disabled, many people wanted to marry him.
Why is it even cheaper?
"What means did you use?"
Qin Shiqiong's words came out of her mouth. Chen Yan was so excited that she spat out all the tea in her mouth and gave her a thumbs up.
There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. She asked the question that others have always wanted to ask.
Lian Suisui said speechlessly: "Can't I rely on my own talent to attract the attention of Uncle Nine Emperors?"
"Bah!" Qin Shiqiong was very disrespectful, "I think you are coercing out of kindness. Who doesn't know that you saved Uncle Nine Emperors' life on the street? It has already been spread outside."
Lian Suisui pursed his lips.
"Then why do you still ask me? Who should I ask?"
She is also very depressed, okay!
"Don't take advantage of it and still act nice, that's Uncle Nine Emperors!"
Qin Shiqiong remembered that her father and brother had talked together before, and said that if she hadn't already been engaged to her, they would have sent her to the Nine Emperors Uncle's house to be his wife or concubine, and let her pay off the debts of the Qin family.
She was young at the time and had never met Chu Zhiyi, but his achievements were still known in the army.
Uncle Nine Emperors has never failed in his life. If he hadn't become a cripple due to an accident, he wouldn't be so depressed.
Qin Shiqiong didn't know what her father and brother had done to disgrace Uncle Nine Emperors, but she respected the strong.
"Don't be ungrateful."
Lian Suisui admitted that she was a little ungrateful.
Others don't know, but she knows very well that Chu Zhiyi's leg has healed and the poison has been cured. She is no different from a normal person. She has a noble status like him. Why should she have to wrong herself to marry her?
You can't, you really like her, right?
Lian Suisui shivered.
"Forget it, don't talk about me anymore. When will my cousin get married?"
Chen Wanli shook her head.
"There's a letter from the Gong family, saying that the betrothal gift is on the way, maybe soon."
"I'm reluctant to let my cousin leave Beijing."
Lian Suisui hugged Chen Wanli's arm, but was squeezed away by Chen Yanxin.
"my sister!"
Qin Shiqiong took the opportunity to hug Chen Wanli's other arm.
Lian Suisui said speechlessly: "As for being so defensive about me? Even if the Nine Emperors Uncle didn't come to the rescue, I would not agree to the marriage in Qin Dinghou Mansion. Wang Jingkang is not a good person. I would like to see what will happen to him in the end. !”
"Be careful not to take it as fun and be plotted again!"
Lian Suisui covered his chest.
"I don't like poking people's lungs like this!"
Chen Yan was heartbroken.
"Why didn't you bring your concubine out when you went out this time?"
Lian Xiaoxiao?
She wanted to call, but she went to Miaoshou Hall in the morning. The Qi family's matter was resolved, and she seemed to be a lot happier.
Let her be.
"It's time to save money. I'll have to put on more makeup when my cousin gets married!"
The betrothal gift from the Gong family arrived in the capital on the third day after the letter was received. The Gong family did not have much property, and they almost emptied their wealth in order to marry the daughter of the Chen family. Because they were both in office and both families were anxious to get married, the people sent by the Gong family were close confidants to Gong Cheng and their attitude was very sincere, and the Chen family did not deliberately embarrass them.
Time was tight, the six rites were completed, and a good day was chosen. The Yongding Mansion sent the newlywed bride into the carriage and said goodbye with tears.
Time flies so fast. After finishing Chen Wanli's wedding, it's already February.
The air was warm, and after taking off their heavy winter clothes, the streets were filled with young girls wearing light gauze clothes. However, it was still very cold at this time, and the spring day kept in good health, and Suisui was still wrapped in a cloak and holding hot tea.
"I'm also getting a wife over there today."
Qin Shiqiong has been paying attention to the situation in Qin Dinghou Mansion.
"I heard that Prince Wang originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the emperor relented. One time, the eleventh prince accidentally mentioned something about the Chu family girl, so the emperor transferred him to Shanglin Garden."
"Why is the emperor not happy when the Chu family is mentioned?"
Lian Suisui is puzzled.
The emperor can't interfere with his ministers' family affairs...
Chen Yanxin answered: "Chu Liniang's uncle used to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but his home was confiscated and exiled because of corruption. Her family was also implicated. Her parents and brothers died one after another in accidents, leaving only an orphan girl who was adopted by the Qin Dinghou Mansion."
There is a fat gap in the household department. Young men from aristocratic families are trying hard to get into the household department. The emperor doesn’t want to raise moths!
"Then which family did he marry a girl from?"
Qin Shiqiong said sarcastically: "I married a businessman. I didn't inquire carefully. I only heard that the woman brought a lot of dowry, but I didn't realize that the Qin Dinghou Mansion was so poor!"
No wonder they are targeting the Chen family. The Yongding family has a great business and needs status and wealth. Chen Wanli is also dignified, generous, virtuous and kind. If she can marry the daughter of the Chen family back home, the Qin Dinghou family will have a bright future. Even if you don’t say it, you can get actual benefits.
"Business women have a low status. When a new daughter-in-law comes in, she doesn't know how to be handled."
Chen Yanxin sighed and didn't want to say any more.
"Eldest brother is also getting engaged. Mom and the Si family have already agreed verbally."
She glanced at Lian Suisui and didn't say the rest of the sentence.
The Si family was an aristocratic family. The Si family girl's grandfather had been Emperor Chen's teacher. He was somewhat disrespectful in front of Emperor Chen. Marrying a daughter of the Si family would also help Chen Yongchuan's career.
Now I can put my heart in my stomach, and don't have to worry about being pestered by Lian Suisui.
Lian Suisui: "..."
She provoked whomever she provoked.
Gan!
Coming out of Yongding Bo's Mansion, the sunshine was very good today, and Suisui didn't even want to go back to his home.
"Xiao Tao, let's go to Miaoshou Hall to have a look."
In order to attend Chen Wanli's marriage, she had not been to Miaoshou Hall for several days. Moreover, Ning Er sent someone to tell him that he had found out something about Yishan Hall this morning. He was undecided and wanted to wait for her to go over to discuss.
It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I happen to be free at this moment.
The weather was very comfortable in the afternoon at this time of year. Lian Suisui wanted to get out of the car and take a walk. It happened that there were many stalls selling gadgets on the street, and they were colorful and attractive.
There are two children in Miaoshou Hall. Lian Suisui wants to buy a gift for Qian Hao and Xiaowei.
"Miss, look at how beautifully made this little Temari ball is!"
Cuju became popular after the Chinese New Year in Beijing. There were many temari balls wrapped with colorful threads for people to play with on the streets. They were brightly colored and suitable in size. They could be hung around the waist in place of sachets.
Lian Suisui came over.
"How much does a Temari ball cost?"
She was also wearing a colorful braided bracelet she bought at the lantern festival on her wrist. After wearing it for so long, the color was a bit old. She was about to put it away, but she was afraid that Lian Xiaoxiao was sensitive.
Wait, give the fourth sister a beautiful Temari ball, just in time to put away the rope.
"Thirty cents each. If you buy a few more, I will give you a cheaper price1"
"I want four, twenty cents each!"
After some haggling, the boss tearfully agreed to the price she mentioned.
"Xiao Tao, help me put it away."
Last time, because she was afraid that Fourth Sister would think too much, she didn't even negotiate the price and spent dozens of pennies on two rope bracelets. I felt so sorry for her!
Xiao Tao packed up the Temari balls she picked, paid and turned around. When she saw the person behind her, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"Miss!"
