Su Qingyu wasn't surprised to hear that the Emperor was personally visiting Prince Ning's residence. Given the Emperor's regard for and fondness for her brother, it was not surprising that he personally officiated at the wedding.
It was an honor for the Ning Palace to have the Emperor personally visit it, but it also made things complicated. Not only did the Ning Palace have to prepare for the Emperor's visit, but the entire palace also had to be extremely well-protected.
"I'll go and take a look tomorrow and help my mother with the arrangements for two days." Su Qingyu said.
The affairs of the inner chambers of Prince Ning's mansion now fell to Mother, with Aunt Lian helping out. Although she could handle the situation, she was afraid that something might be overlooked if she was too busy.
In the ten days before Shen Yue's wedding, Su Qingyu was busy running between the two mansions.
It was not until three days before the wedding that everything at Prince Ning's Mansion was ready, and Lin Wanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the family sat down to drink tea and chat, Lin Wanyin said with lingering fear: "It's a good thing Qingyu is back, otherwise it would be difficult for me to deal with all this."
Although she had been the mistress of the Marquis's mansion for twenty years, the Su family had already declined by then and could not compare with the royal palace. She was also from a merchant family and did not know much about the etiquette of aristocratic families.
Although the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department assisted in this marriage, there were still many issues that required her to make decisions.
Fortunately, Su Qingyu had been here for a few days, so she was able to relax a little.
Su Qingyu knew that her mother had been on edge these days, fearing that she would make any mistakes or act disrespectfully.
Hearing her mother say this, she smiled and comforted her, "You've just never been exposed to these things before. This is much simpler than running a business."
Knowing that her daughter was trying to comfort her, Lin Wanyin looked at her daughter lovingly and said with a smile, "I still like doing business."
Su Shunci, who was eating candied fruit and wiping her fingers with a handkerchief, smiled and said, "I've inherited this from my mother. I also like doing business."
"Don't marry me off to one of these wealthy families in the future. I can't stand these rules."
Only after spending the past few days with her mother and sister did Su Shunci realize that there were so many rules and regulations for getting married. This was because Sister Yue had to observe mourning, otherwise there would be many times more things to do.
Hearing Su Shunci say this, Lin Wanyin suddenly remembered what her brother Lin Wanli said yesterday. She smiled and teased her, "If you look at it that way, the Lin family is still better. There's a lot of business, but few rules."
Su Shunci didn't understand her implication and said with regret, "It's a pity that I wasn't born in the Lin family."
If I were born in the Lin family, would I be able to be a daughter-in-law like my mother? That would be much more interesting than being a daughter of a marquis.
Lin Wanyin coughed lightly, then said seriously: "Even though you were not born in the Lin family, you can still marry into the Lin family."
Yesterday, her brother mentioned to her that he wanted to propose marriage to Lin Ziyu, and he praised Su Shunci throughout his words. He wanted her to first talk to Su Shunci and Bai Sulian, and then find a chance to get Lin Ziyu to Beijing.
The two are of similar age, and if this marriage can be successful, it will be a good one.
Su Shunci had just taken a sip of tea to get rid of the sweet taste in her mouth. After hearing Lin Wanyin's words, she almost spit out her tea again.
She looked at Lin Wanyin with resentment, "Mother, I'm still young. Let's talk about it in two years. I don't want to look for a marriage yet."
She had been busy with Lin Wuchen's shipping business for a while, and all she could think about was the money she would make in the future. Anything that would hinder her from making money had to be put aside.
And once the marriage is decided, will she be confined to the inner house to learn the rules? How can she do business with her third cousin?
By then, the money would have gone into her third cousin's pocket, and she would have suffered a huge loss.
She couldn't do a business that would lose money, so the marriage had to be delayed as long as possible.
Bai Sulian tapped Su Shunci's forehead and said, "You're not a child anymore. Even if you're not in a hurry to get married, it's time to settle down."
Su Qingyu was a little anxious. Why wasn't her third cousin making any movement yet?
He is a very free and easy-going person, and procrastination is not like his personality.
When they went to the side hall to eat, Su Qingyu and Lin Wanyin walked together and asked in a low voice: "Mother, our third cousin hasn't even gotten married yet, and you've already arranged a marriage for our fourth cousin?"
"Have you ever thought about bringing together your third cousin and fourth sister?"
Not knowing what her third cousin was thinking, and afraid that her mother would notice something, Su Qingyu spoke of this in a joking tone.
Lin Wanyin smiled and said, "I actually asked your uncle. Although Wuchen is a few years older than Ah Ci, they are familiar with each other, so it's not impossible."
"But for some reason, your uncle refused immediately without giving a reason."
Su Qingyu was puzzled. Could there be some hidden secret?
After entering the flower hall, the mother and daughter didn't talk about this matter anymore, and the family sat down to have lunch.
After dinner, Su Qingyu got up and prepared to go home. The Shen family still had many things waiting for her to decide.
Su Shunci saw her out and said with a smile, "Big sister, I have sent two pieces of fabric to your carriage. They are the newly delivered cloud and mist silk."
"Big sister, you can use it to make summer dresses. They are the most beautiful. They are your favorite emerald green and lake blue, and they also have some of the latest popular styles in Jiangnan. Big sister, please take a look at them when sewing and making clothes, so you can have a reference."
Su Qingyu suddenly remembered the shipping business after hearing this and asked curiously, "I heard that the Jiangnan Bai family is now doing a booming shipping business. Are the materials they ship overseas the same as those they sell to us? I wonder what styles people overseas wear."
Su Shunci was stunned at first, then laughed.
"Big sister, this isn't the Bai family's material. I haven't gotten material from the Bai family for half a year. The cloud and mist silk this time is from another brocade merchant."
