"If the melon is good, you have to praise it so that others can know about it. Besides, you are 20 years old. The love stories in the storybooks are all about people who are 16 or 17 years old."
"You said I was old?" Shen Heng couldn't believe it.
Seeing her long face, Xie Jian quickly took her hand and said, "It's late, go to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow."
That night, Chen Heng was so angry that she couldn't sleep. She was only twenty years old and was being called old? She also found that she was actually somewhat persuaded by Xie Jian.
There is nothing wrong with the logic.
She is not a love-brained person. Making money to live is the most important thing.
But she has never met a heart-warming person in her life.
In the middle of the night, Xie Jian opened his eyes and looked at the woman who leaned towards him subconsciously. He stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms. He continued to sleep peacefully, thinking that this trick of boasting should not be used often.
Don't be fooled by Ah Heng's easygoing appearance, she's actually quite stubborn. He's not in a hurry, take her time, and she'll eventually figure it out.
When Shen Heng got up the next day, Xie Jian had already left.
"Ajian can't drink, so you drink it." Xia felt that her sister-in-law was very tired after opening the shop. "I was thinking that since you two are so busy now, a little nourishment would be good for your pregnancy."
Shen Heng almost choked while drinking her porridge. Pregnant? She even wanted to sleep in Xie Jian's bed and room. She glanced at Aunt Feng who was drinking her porridge elegantly and gave up.
Nanny Feng's attention was focused on Zhenzhu and Achan, who were serving beside her. She was testing their posture. After hearing what Madam Xia said, she smiled and said, "In the hot summer, this warming and nourishing food is indeed easy to cause internal heat. Madam Xia is a little anxious."
Xia smiled embarrassedly.
Nanny Feng smiled at Chen Heng again and said, "It's true that the house has become a bit quiet. The old woman and Lady Xia both like to be lively and bustling."
Shen Heng lowered her head to drink the porridge. Nanny said nothing, but she said everything.
The wedding between Prince Ning's Mansion and the Si family of Yuezhou was a grand occasion. The dowry was lined up from Prince Ning's Mansion to the outside of the imperial city, like a red dragon winding for miles, majestic and magnificent. The loads of lacquer and gold painted on the loads really included everything.
The common people were all talking about the thousands of acres of fertile land and the ten miles of red wedding dress, which was as grand as the royal daughter's wedding.
Nanny Feng came to see her off to get married.
Chen Heng and Xia Shi were watching the fun and listening to gossip on the street.
As for Liu Zhiyue's husband's family, although Shen Heng had never met anyone, the surname "奍姒" left a deep impression on her. After all, it was rare. By the way, Meng Xuanlang's wife, Madam Peng, was also from Yuezhou and also a big family.
It seems that there are quite a lot of big families in Yuezhou.
"The Si family is the largest family in Yuezhou. I heard that it is more useful for the common people to listen to them than to the government." The common people were talking about it.
"Everyone says that the young lady from Prince Ning's mansion married into a wealthy family. Even a princess of the Emperor could marry into a family as rich as the Si family."
"But the eldest son of the Si family has set his eyes on the young lady from Prince Ning's mansion."
"How do you know?"
"My father-in-law's third cousin's aunt's daughter works as a servant in Prince Ning's mansion. I know all the inside story."
Xia, Chen Heng and the others all nodded as if they understood something. It seemed that what they heard was useful, but also seemed to be of no use at all.
Everyone watched the wedding procession leave the city, and even after the last box was out of sight, they were still enjoying this happy event.
Chen Heng and Xia Shi walked arm in arm on the way home, also talking about the dowry.
"It's truly eye-opening." Xia had never seen such a large dowry in her life. "These boxes aren't made of ordinary wood. I heard that just the boxes cost dozens of taels of silver."
"It's so expensive." Shen Heng sighed.
