Chapter Twenty-Five: The Daughter of the Bride
The eldest lady frowned, but shook her head: "The Zhang family's refusal to welcome is not a good match." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Mother, what do you want to do, anyway, now that they are willing, then it will be fine. Shen Rutong was anxious, and was a little unscrupulous: "People have spent a lot of effort—"
Stopped.
The eldest lady's eyes flashed suddenly, and then her face turned cold: "What have you done, you are not honest!"
Shen Rutong looked at Shen Qiulian.
The eldest lady's eyes were slightly condensed, and she said lightly to Shen Qiulian: "She doesn't say it, you say it." ”
Shen Qiulian had no choice but to whisper: "My sister really admires Young Master Zhang's talent, after the last time, Qiu Lian saw that her sister was really sad and thought that with her sister's knowledge and temperament, it is also a good match for that Young Master Zhang." The only thing my sister owes is her looks. Since ancient times, men have been lustful, but men marry wives and seek talents, and concubines seek sex. My sister is naturally virtuous and dignified, so why is Young Master Zhang unwilling? Qiu Lian felt that Young Master Zhang probably felt that the Zhang family was weaker than the Shen family, and her sister was the only daughter of the Shen family, so she was worried that her sister would be intolerant and difficult to tolerate people. So-" She secretly glanced at the eldest lady's face: "Qiu Lian gave her sister an idea, and asked her to tell Young Master Zhang that if the marriage is completed, the Shen family is willing to marry a daughter......
She stopped, looked at the eldest lady a little nervously, and felt that her throat was dry.
If there is anyone in this mansion who wants Shen Rutong to marry the most, it must be her. For the sake of this wish, she felt that it was worth taking such a risk.
She knew in her heart that Zhang Shaohan should be the best choice in any aspect, and the eldest lady was not optimistic because the eldest lady also understood in her heart that Zhang Shaohan might not be willing to get married.
But now...... She was seven points sure, and the eldest lady should agree.
The eldest lady was silent for a long time.
Neither girl dared to make a sound.
"Qiu Lian went out first. The eldest lady spoke.
After Shen Qiulian went out, the eldest lady asked Shen Rutong: "Is it really as she said?"
Shen Rutong nodded.
"Marrying a daughter—it definitely won't be Qiu Lian," the eldest lady raised the curtain again, "Who are you planning to do?"
I only heard Shen Rutong say: "It's not Qiu Ling, it's Shen Nishang." ”
"She?" Obviously, the eldest lady still had an impression of Shen Nisheng, and she frowned: "Why did you hit her with the idea? She seems to be only fifteen this year." ”
"Fifteen is good!" Seeing that the eldest lady's attitude seemed hopeful, Shen Rutong sat down on the other side of the Luohan bed, and her voice was brisk: "I'll marry first, and she will marry again in two or three years, isn't it just right." ”
The eldest lady squinted at her: "You went to her yard a few days ago just for this?
Shen Rutong used a silver hairpin to make a candied fruit, and took a small bite, with a vague mouth: "Why did you tell her, I asked her to meet Zhang Shaohan, and promised her a pair of fifty taels of silver, and she went." Mother, you didn't see the dilapidated appearance in her house, I don't see any good things in her, let her follow her to Zhang's house, and it can be regarded as her blessing in her last life. Could it be that she still refuses to do it? With her identity, can she have a better blessing than the Zhang family? As soon as the Fang family was defeated the year before last, those concubines were not sold for sale, but given away, so I still promoted her. ”
"Eat and eat, say anything! How old are you, you can't eat or sleep, and you forget it!" The eldest lady patted her hand, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Are you really determined to want that Zhang family?"
Shen Rutong hurriedly put down the candied fruit and showed joy: "Mother, did you agree?"
The eldest lady squinted and glanced at her angrily: "My daughter's elbow turned out, raising you so big, it's really for nothing!"
Shen Rutong smiled happily, holding the eldest lady's arm and coquettishly.
The eldest lady shook her head helplessly and sighed: "You have such a temperament, let me say that you are good." Fortunately, you chose someone else, if Qiu Lian is like this, I am really afraid that you will be eaten. ”
"Mother, you are stupid to me. Shen Rutong said with a smile: "Qiu Lian is recorded in our room, and it can be regarded as a concubine, and there is no such thing as letting a concubine marry her daughter." Even if she wasn't a descendant, I didn't like her to be with me for a long time. That Shen Nishang is very good, he doesn't talk much, and he is very interesting. ”
Since getting older, Shen Rutong has become more and more obedient, it is even more rare to be so obedient, and it is even more rare that she speaks in a very orderly manner, and the eldest lady is very pleased.
Of her three children, she worries her most about this daughter.
The purpose of recording Shen Qiulian in her name is to make Shen Rutong understand things better. Her daughter looks too much like her, and she is also indebted in her heart. Shen Rutong's dissatisfaction with her appearance, including her dislike of looking better than her, is very clear to her.
But it was precisely because she knew that she deliberately accepted Shen Qiulian, the best-looking person, under her name, and she wanted Shen Rutong to understand a truth, that is, she had to learn to tolerate it.
The eldest lady understands better than anyone else that if a woman with a bad appearance learns to tolerate other women who are more beautiful than herself and are favored by men more than herself, then the final outcome will never be good.
Shen Qiulian is the whetstone she specially selected for Shen Rutong.
Now that the matter has been decided, she will not say more, and instead began to teach Shen Rutong some tricks and means of doing things.
Since you are going to get married, you have to start teaching your daughter these things.
As for Shen Nishang, the concubine from the outer room, the eldest lady didn't take it to heart at all at this time.
Within the scope of her measurement, only Shen Rutong's preferences and the character and family style of the young master of the Zhang family were considered.
Undoubtedly, she recognized the character of the young master of the Zhang family, even if she knew that the young master of the Zhang family would not have much sincere affection for Shen Rutong, but what was that?
Back then, Shen Chongshan was only general to her, but even today, he has to respect her.
Even if Shen Rutong is not as smart as her, as long as the Shen family does not fall, Shen Rutong's position as the wife of the main house will sit firmly.
###
The Shen family and the Zhang family have begun to move around in the past few days, and everyone has seen that the eldest lady has a trace of joy on her face these days.
Everyone is secretly speculating that there will be a happy event in the house soon.
Yuchun also got the news, and she went back to the courtyard as soon as possible to tell Shen Nishang.
"The Zhang family really wants to marry Shen Rutong?" Shen Nishang was also surprised.
Could it be that she thought too much, Shen Rutong didn't lie to her?
"It should not be settled yet, people like us get married, even if both parties are interested, they will not immediately go to the courtesy to finalize, and they always have to go back and forth a few times before they can show the dignity of the daughter's family. Yuchun is familiar with these: "The slave maid will have a few days." ”
In this way, it seems that things are really about to be decided, since it has nothing to do with her, Shen Nishang let out an "oh" and threw it away.
In the afternoon of the second day, she took Yuchun directly to Mairanzhai.
