Chapter 698: Double Standards Mrs. Song
"Mom, I've been rejected once before. The only one who dares to marry me in Kyoto is Sheng Yi."
Song Jiuli's voice was very soft, and Mrs. Song was so angry that she tapped her forehead.
"What do you mean by breaking off the engagement? It's your ex-fiancé's family that was implicated. What does it have to do with you?"
"Anyway, the reputation has been damaged."
Song Jiuli winked at Jiang Wan frantically, and Jiang Wan reluctantly agreed:
“If Madam is worried, please invite Sheng Yi to meet the Song family in private.
Let the general personally examine her. If she fails, we will examine her on behalf of Li Er."
Song Jiuli: ???
She looked at Jiang Wan in shock, wondering why she changed her words. Didn’t she agree to speak for Sheng Yi?
"Okay, I'll talk to the prince later."
Madam Song glared at Song Jiuli, "As for you, just stay in the mansion obediently.
You are not allowed to go out these few days, otherwise I will not consider this marriage."
"mother!"
Song Jiuli was so angry that she jumped up and down. She and Sheng Yi had just expressed their feelings to each other, so how could she not let them meet?
"What mother? Your mother is busy."
Mrs. Song ignored Song Jiuli, but took Jiang Wan's hand and said, "Wanwan, you have good taste. Come to my house for dinner when the time comes."
"good."
Jiang Wan was not polite to the Song family, and now she also regarded this place as her own home.
"I heard from Yuan'er that you guys are still going to Jiangnan?"
Mrs. Song held Jiang Wan's hand worriedly, "I've always wanted to hold a wedding for you, but it's not a good idea to keep putting it off."
"Madam, good food is never too late."
Jiang Wan just thought that she was in love with Song Jiuyuan. In modern times, it is common for young couples to date for a few years before getting married.
"Sister Wanwan, how about you hold the wedding with us?"
Song Jiuli blushed with shyness, and Mrs. Song twisted her ear again in anger.
"What are you thinking? Even if the engagement is successful, you want to get married within a year or so?"
Song Jiuli: ...
Why is mother so hypocritical? That’s not what she said to Sister Wanwan just now.
"With your skills, can you embroider a wedding dress in half a year?"
Mrs. Song laughed at Song Jiuli crazily. Song Jiuli subconsciously looked at his fingers and said frustratedly:
"Isn't there still an embroiderer?"
"Can the embroidery made by an embroiderer be the same as your own?"
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes in annoyance. Jiang Wan, who was standing beside her, said hesitantly, "I can't embroider either. It was the embroiderer who did it."
"Wanwan, you are different. Your hands are used to save lives and heal the wounded."
Mrs. Song took double standards to the extreme, and Song Jiuli was so angry that she almost doubted who her mother gave birth to.
Fortunately, this person was Sister Wanwan, otherwise she would have to fight with the other party.
"Mom, you just have a problem with me."
"How dare I have any opinion on you?"
Mrs. Song's mouth twitched, "Forget it, your second brother keeps pestering us to go to the Chu family to ask for Chu Chu's hand in marriage.
If everything goes well, finish his business and then talk about your business."
"Mom, can we go together?"
Song Jiuli pouted, making Jiang Wan laugh and cry. It was obvious that she really liked Sheng Yi.
Jiang Wan had been staying at the Song family for dinner, while Song Jiuyuan was kept in the palace by the emperor and did not come back for dinner.
Jiang Wan simply didn't wait for him and went back home after dinner.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Yi came to find her. This time he did not sit in a wheelchair, but stood at the door of Jiang Mansion.
The first prosthesis Jiang Wan made was not very beautiful, so he covered it with his pants.
"Princess, this is a thank you gift."
He waved his hand, and Yinquan and the servants behind him brought a carriage full of things from the carriage.
Part of it was gold, silver and jewelry, and part of it was things left to him by the Sheng family.
Jiang Wan refused subconsciously, "Don't be so polite, we are all family from now on."
"One thing at a time."
Sheng Yi has his own pride. "If the princess doesn't accept it, I will be too embarrassed to say what comes next."
"Okay then, Qiu Yan, let's move to the warehouse."
Now, the things in Jiang Wan's space have piled up like a mountain, and some of them she didn't put into the space.
You have to be prepared for both and can't rely on space for everything.
Qiu Yan was busy with Yin Quan, while Jiang Wan took Sheng Yi to the flower hall for meeting guests.
Lushui brought tea and the two sat opposite each other.
"Is there anything difficult?"
Jiang Wan rarely saw Sheng Yi with this expression. After all, he was a young and famous major general.
"Li'er calls you Sister Wanwan, so I will call you Sister Wanwan too."
Sheng Yi placed his hands on his legs and rubbed them nervously, "It's like this.
I know Li'er's parents don't approve of me, but my parents are no longer around, and I don't know what to prepare when I propose.
If possible, I would like to ask Sister Wanwan for advice to avoid any mistakes."
Jiang Wan: ...
She has no experience in this matter.
“Actually, I don’t really understand it.”
Jiang Wan helplessly spread her hands, "You can hire a professional matchmaker, or... ask a few ladies from aristocratic families for advice."
"They didn't want to bother with my Sheng family when they were in decline, and I don't want to bother with them now."
It’s not that Sheng Yi has no living relatives, they are just distant aunts or uncles.
But every time he thought about how other people would be indifferent to him after his parents were gone, he didn't want to repair the relationship.
"If it doesn't work, you can go and ask the people in the Ministry of Rites for help."
Jiang Wan gave another suggestion, "The Ministry of Rites has hosted quite a few weddings over the years. You can follow their example."
“Good idea!”
Sheng Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he stood up suddenly, as if he had thought of something. He was unable to speak, and after a while he said:
"I hope Sister Wanwan can say a few good words for me in front of the Song family in the future."
"rest assured."
Jiang Wan thought that as long as Song Jiuli liked it, no matter how much others opposed it, they would still bless her in the end.
After Sheng Yi left, Qiu Yan said mysteriously: "Miss, this is the gift list.
General Sheng is really generous. He gave me such a big red coral as a gift."
"After all, he is a meritorious official who helped the new emperor ascend to the throne. He doesn't need these things now."
Jiang Wan thought that now that he had stood up, there must be countless young girls who wanted to marry him.
After all, General Sheng was the hero who supported the new emperor to ascend the throne. If he had not resisted the Second Prince's soldiers outside the city, the progress would not have been so smooth.
"Then Miss Song might have a sense of crisis."
Qiu Yan thought of Song Jiuli's feelings for Sheng Yi and couldn't help but worry about her.
While the two were chatting, Fuling's roar was heard outside, "Cheng Jin, could you please stop being so haunted!"
"Cheng Jin is here again?"
Jiang Wan clicked her tongue, and Qiu Yan's lips curled up when she heard it, "Yes, Master Cheng apologized but Miss Fuling did not accept it.
He comes every day these days, and Miss Fuling is getting annoyed to death."
"Come on, let's go out and take a look."
Jiang Wan is not the kind of person who meddles in other people’s business, but Fuling is her niece, so she has to keep a closer eye on her.
Outside, Cheng Jin was holding a box in his hand and apologized humbly:
"Fuling, I really didn't mean what I did before, please forgive me!"
