Shen Yuezhang not only knows how to do business, but also does a thriving business. It's obvious at first glance that he is a man with no shortage of money.
In addition, she has parents, brothers and sisters, so she can be considered a blessed person.
Shen Yi has made outstanding political achievements, and promotion is only a matter of time. He is also related to the Marquis of Yong'an in the imperial capital, so he can be called a noble.
Fu Lugui is already there, so it's okay for her to be a good match for her son. Of course, the most important thing is that Murong Jue likes her.
It was not she who protected her son from the wind and rain these years, but her son who worried about her all the time. As a mother, she felt indebted to her son since he was young. As for his marriage, she hoped that her son would marry someone who was satisfactory within the feasible range.
Murong Jue burst into laughter on the spot, "So mother also likes Miss Shen?"
Princess Huai'an nodded with a smile, "Miss Shen will paint a picture for me after the New Year. When the portrait is finished, I will propose to Madam Shen."
Murong Jue stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Princess Huai'an, "Thank you, mother!"
Amber waited until Murong Jue left before whispering to Princess Huai'an: "Princess, although I also think Miss Shen is very outstanding, the Shen family is not too low. If the young master marries Miss Shen, it seems that it will not be of much help to him."
Princess Huai'an slowly lowered her eyelids, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Assistance? Isn't my status and position high enough? But you also saw that I dare to interfere in my son's affairs?
The emperor hates forming cliques for personal gain and abusing power for personal gain the most. Over the years, Ajue has been able to gain a foothold in front of the emperor with her own abilities. He does not need a wife with a prominent family background!
On the contrary, the emperor will be relieved if I find him a wife from an undistinguished family. Maybe if he is happy, he can even give my son some practical benefits!"
After being immersed in the palace for many years, no one knows the way to survive better than her.
Hearing this, Amber's expression became more serious. "I understand! I won't say such things again in the future."
Princess Huai'an's expression immediately eased a lot, and she said thoughtfully: "Send some small things to Yue'an later. Since we are going to be in-laws in the future, we naturally can't be as casual as before."
Amber hurried to do it.
That night.
Shen Yi returned home from the government office.
The maid brought the dinner to him, which really surprised him, "Wife, you cooked for me yourself?"
Yu Mei quickly praised, "Master, you have a good eye. You can see this!"
Shen Yi was very proud at that moment.
Su Tai laughed twice in a reproachful manner, "Mrs. Xue brought Yue'an back today. I have to entertain distinguished guests with all my heart! Mrs. Xue had a great time at our house today, and she even made an appointment with Yuezhang to come to our house to ask her to paint on the third day of the New Year.
Look, your daughter has established a good relationship for you in no time."
Now that Madam Xue is here, the commander will definitely come as well.
With the give and take of each other, the two families have developed some friendship, which is the network of contacts.
Shen Yi praised Shen Yuezhang greatly, and then said: "I heard that Commander Xue got married relatively late, and Madam Xue should be relatively young, so it is understandable that she can talk to our girl."
After these words were spoken, Su Tai and Shen Yuezhang's eyes widened.
"Dad! Are you mistaken? The Madam Xue who came today is a little older than Mom, but she is very well maintained. And she came back with her sister. My sister called her aunt, so it must be right."
After Shen Yuezhang said this, it was Shen Yi's turn to be confused. He touched his chin thoughtfully, "Could it be that the news is wrong?"
The family of three couldn't figure out the reason, so they just put the matter aside.
It was a busy year at the end of the year, and Su Tai was busy interacting with the ladies of various families.
Shen Yuezhang also has his own little sisters to keep in touch with.
Add to that business stuff, and the New Year is pretty busy.
The third day of the Lunar New Year.
Su Tai and her family got up early to prepare to welcome Princess Huai'an.
Out of curiosity, Shen Yi decided to follow them out to greet them.
It was New Year's Day and the villagers were free to visit each other. Seeing Shen Yi waiting outside the door with his family, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shen Ying asked, "Will there be a distinguished guest later?"
Shen Yi nodded with a smile, "Yes! Where are you planning to go, uncle?"
Shen Ying glanced at Shen Yuezhang next to Shen Yi, and laughed, "I met someone for my granddaughter a few years ago, and I plan to go over and ask about the situation on the man's side.
Your Yue Zhang is grown up now, can we say he is your relative now?"
When the villagers nearby heard this, they all pricked up their ears.
Shen Yi laughed and shook his head, "Not yet."
Shen Ying disagreed and advised: "It's time to meet! It's too late. All the good ones have been picked!"
Su Tai quickly replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, good things are worth waiting for! We have to wait and see!"
Shen Ying changed his mind and realized that Shen Yi was now the county magistrate, so he had to find a suitable match for his daughter. There weren't many families to choose from in their area.
If you don’t choose here, you have to go outside and know everything about it. It’s difficult!
After realizing this, Shen Ying stopped trying to persuade him and drove the ox cart out of the village quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw a group of people coming towards Shenjia Village. He took a closer look and found that those people had an extraordinary aura and were obviously not ordinary people. He hurriedly drove the ox cart to the side to take a closer look.
When the carriage entered the village.
Shen Ying's wife, He, immediately asked, "Is this the guest that Shen Yi is waiting for? What a grand guest!"
Shen Ying nodded thoughtfully, "It's probably true! The people that Shen Yi's family is in contact with now are not people we can ask. Someone asked you to be a matchmaker before, luckily you turned him down!"
Not long ago, many wealthy businessmen and gentry came to Shenjiazhuang to look for his wife, and sent many valuable gifts, saying that they were asking He to go to the house of Shen County Magistrate to act as a matchmaker.
The other party was very generous and any one or two of the things he gave were worth several taels of silver.
Fortunately, He was not blinded by money.
If they really help with matchmaking, they will be the ones who make a fool of themselves.
The old couple looked at each other and continued on their way.
At this time, the carriage had arrived outside Shen Yi's house, and Princess Huai'an got off the carriage with the help of Murong Jue.
This scene really stunned the three members of the Shen family.
Before they could come to their senses, Shen Congyu and Shen Yuean jumped off the carriage at the back.
The two little ones first greeted their parents and elder sister politely, and then hugged one of them and acted coquettishly.
Shen Yi patted his youngest son on the back, stepped forward and bowed, "I greet Commander Xue and meet the young master!"
When it was Princess Huai'an's turn, Shen Yi paused, not knowing how to address her.
Murong Jue stepped forward and introduced with a smile: "Sir Shen, this is my mother, her surname is Murong."
Shen Yi was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his eyes were straight, and he knelt down with a plop.
Princess? Princess? Or something else? What should he call her?
Amber said solemnly: "My master is Princess Huai'an."
Su Tai immediately pulled her children to kneel and pay their respects, but her heart was in turmoil, and she kept wondering if she had neglected the princess in any way before.
"Everyone, get up!" Princess Huai'an said gently, and stepped forward to hold Su Tai's hand and explained, "I came to Zhaohua County just to see Ajue. I don't want to make it public, so I call myself the mistress of the Xue family. Madam Shen doesn't need to worry too much." (End of this chapter)
