Chapter 1451: Get engaged sooner so you can calm down
After hearing what Madam Xia said, Xia Siya said reluctantly, "None of them are as beautiful as what Sister Fuya did."
This is inevitable!
Mrs. Xia glared at her daughter.
"Do you want your sister to make clothes for you? Look at how busy your sister is. As her elder sister, not only can you not help, but you also want to make things more complicated for her?"
After Mrs. Xia finished speaking, her face tightened.
He added, "Don't let your sister make clothes for you anymore! If you tire your sister out, I won't let you off!"
Xia Siya stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't want to tire Sister Fuya out! I was just thinking about wearing the summer shirt that Sister Fuya made for me last year. I've only worn that shirt once, and I haven't worn it in the capital yet."
She was reluctant to wear it for fear of getting it dirty.
When Xia Siya said this, Mrs. Xia also remembered her daughter's goose yellow summer dress.
That’s right…
Even if it were new clothes, they wouldn't be as pretty as that dress...
"In that case, go home and try them all on. Wear whichever looks best to you." Madam Xia said, "We'll go to the jewelry store later to pick out some jewelry to go with your outfit..."
Xia Siya discovered that her mother had been spending more and more money since coming to Beijing.
"Mom, there's no need to buy more jewelry." Xia Siya said, "Among my dowry, there are several sets of headwear that I haven't worn yet. And the hairpins that Sister Fu Ya gave me can't be bought in the jewelry store..."
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Xia felt that it made sense.
However, I still feel a little upset when I hear my daughter mention the dowry.
The furniture we made back then was all made of high-quality wood that we had saved up for many years.
However, the sizes are all made according to the Bai family’s house.
When my daughter gets married in the future, I will naturally have to prepare a new set of clothes.
There are also some other things that need to be purchased new, even if it is just for good luck.
Mrs. Xia felt that she would be busy again in the future.
Not only do I need to buy a new dowry for my daughter, but I also need to buy all kinds of things for my second son to marry...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia did not want to stay any longer and asked Xia Siya to go back.
"Don't tire yourself out. If you really can't make it in time, ask Aunt Gu to help you, or ask the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop to help with some of the edges and corners." Madam Xia advised Tang Bao, saying, "Time is so tight. Even if the Empress knew, she would definitely not blame you."
Tang Bao nodded obediently and said, "Godmother, don't worry, I won't tire myself out."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she remembered that before Mrs. Xia came, Xia Siya seemed to have something to tell her.
"Sister Siya, did you have something to say just now?" Tang Bao looked at Xia Siya and asked.
Xia Siya immediately shook her head and said decisively: "No!"
What a joke! There are some things she can say in front of her sister Fuya, but not in front of her mother and Aunt Su.
Tang Bao sent the Xia family mother and daughter away and continued to work hard on making Xuanyuan Jin's crown and robes.
After returning to her room, Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"What's wrong, wife?" asked Old Man Su.
Old Madam Su hesitated for a moment, then said, "My sister-in-law came over today and told me about Siya's marriage. Prime Minister Zheng's wife is interested in marrying into the Xia family. Tomorrow, Siya will visit the Zheng family as a guest. I'm afraid she's also interested in meeting someone. It's possible that in a few days, the two families will officially discuss the marriage..."
When Old Man Su heard this, he thought about it and said in confusion, "This is good news! I remember that the child from the Zheng family passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. He is also a leader among the children of the aristocratic families in the capital."
When Old Man Su said this, he thought of Bai Shuzhi.
He added, "At least, it's better than that idiot from the Bai family! That guy brags about his knowledge all day long, but in the end, he still failed the imperial examination. It's better than this one from the Zheng family who quietly passed the imperial examination."
Old Man Su became furious whenever he mentioned Bai Shuzhi.
Old Madam Su said somewhat ambivalently, "The Zheng family's marriage is naturally a good one on the surface. My sister-in-law has also sent people to secretly inquire about the situation of the Zheng family's child these days."
Mrs. Su paused and continued, "Although two maids in the room were taken away, Master Zheng disciplined them strictly, so nothing out of the ordinary happened."
"Furthermore, because of the previous marriage negotiation with Prince Rong's Mansion, the Zheng family promised that they would send those two maids away before the newlyweds entered the palace..."
In fact, this kind of thing is also very common in wealthy families.
However, Mrs. Su felt a little uncomfortable.
She understood it intellectually, but was disgusted emotionally.
When Old Man Su heard this, he also frowned.
"So this guy hasn't even gotten married yet, and he already has someone else in his house!" Old Man Su raised his voice and said unhappily, "No matter how good a person like that is, we can't accept him! When our daughter is looking for a son-in-law in the future, anyone with someone else in his house should get out as far away as possible!"
Old Mrs. Su nodded.
My little girl can't bear this kind of injustice.
What if the man still has an affair with the maid because of their old relationship? That would be disgusting!
"From what my sister-in-law said, she and the Zheng brothers are very satisfied with this marriage." Old Madam Su said, "Looking across the entire capital, I'm afraid there aren't many families better than the Zheng family..."
Because of this, Old Lady Su didn't say anything in front of Madam Xia.
The couple is very satisfied, so she, as an outsider, can't object, right?
Even if she treats Xia Siya as her own daughter, she cannot decide Xia Siya's marriage, right?
Unless she can find a better marriage than the Zheng family.
But where to find it?
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Old Man Su also calmed down.
In terms of family background, the Zheng family is better than the Bai family.
Although the Bai family is the Empress Dowager's maternal family, the Empress Dowager is very old.
The Zheng family is different.
Prime Minister Zheng holds a high position of power, and the Imperial Concubine in the palace has been in charge of the six palaces for many years. She should have already established her own network of connections...
If the Bai family is yesterday's news, then the Zheng family is at its peak.
After Old Man Su thought this through, he could no longer say anything against it.
After all, Xia Siya is not his biological daughter, so he has no say in the matter.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, my dear. If that brat dares to mess around with the maids after getting married and makes Siya suffer, I'll have my daughter take Dabai over and give him a beating!" Old Man Su said forcefully, "If one beating doesn't change him, I'll beat him twice, three times... and keep beating him until he changes!"
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
Can my daughter still get married? Who would dare to marry her?
Old Mrs. Su looked at her husband speechlessly.
In his heart, he was thinking of his eldest grandson.
It’s time to put the eldest grandson’s marriage on the agenda.
It would be better to get engaged and marry a wife as soon as possible so that you can calm down and avoid getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
