Chapter 74: Finding a Husband's Family
Not long after, the people from the five rooms gathered in the main house.
The fifth old master and the fifth old lady were sitting in the middle, but the fifth old lady's arms were wrapped with herbs.
She is also one of the great contributors to obtaining the one hundred taels this time.
Therefore, compared to the past when he was yelling at her, the Fifth Old Master was more friendly to her.
Sitting on the right were Shang Yuding, who looked impatient, his timid wife Guo, and the unmarried Shang Qinnan, who also lowered their heads and did not step forward.
As for those sitting on the left were Shang Yu'an and his wife Ni, they did not have any special expressions.
It's just that Wulang's wife deliberately held her waist, as if she wanted to let everyone see her belly which was not very obvious, and she felt a little proud.
When everyone was present, the five old ladies began to speak.
"Goro, just say what you want to say. The whole family is waiting."
Hearing her speak, Shang Wulang looked at Shang Qinnan excitedly, and then said.
"Seventh sister is lucky. Your marriage is settled."
When he spoke, everyone looked at Shang Wulang.
Shang Yuding and his wife Guo, the biological parents, both had a look of disbelief in their eyes.
The former thought that Shang Wulang would not be so kind as to worry about his cousin's marriage, while the latter was surprised. Could it be that God took pity on them and wanted to give them a chance to live? Wulang's wife frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her husband's preference for his cousin from his second uncle's family.
However, everyone present was an elder, so she couldn't show anything, so she could only use a handkerchief to cover the disdain on her face.
Shang Qinnan, who was congratulated in person, had a single name, "Wu".
Just from her name, one can tell that her status is very low, as insignificant as the morning mist.
The fifth room was restrained and Mrs. Guo was even more impoverished, so she didn't have any nice clothes or jewelry to use.
But even wearing outdated old clothes and ordinary hairpins could not hide her beautiful appearance and slender figure.
She is indeed a beauty.
When she heard Shang Wulang's words, she lowered her head a little shyly, but there was a bit of excitement and worry in her eyes.
I thought I finally had a chance to leave this home, but I didn’t know where I would end up in the future?
Therefore, I felt very complicated for a while.
When everyone heard Shang Wulang's words, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
The first one to ask questions was the Fifth Old Master.
"Wu Lang, which family are you talking about?"
He didn't really care what family Qi Niang married into, the most important thing was how much betrothal gift she could get. The Hibiscus Cream was a good treasure, and he didn't have enough money to buy another box.
Therefore, if more betrothal gifts could be sent, he would naturally be happy to oblige.
Hearing this, Shang Wulang immediately said with some pride.
"Prince Min's Palace!"
"What? The palace?"
When everyone heard this name, their eyes lit up.
The girls from the third and fifth rooms married into ordinary families, either businessmen, small families, or people from other places.
Except for Aunt Shang who became the Princess of Fu, it can be said that compared with her, these cousins are like clouds in the sky and mud on the ground.
But will this great turn of events also happen to their fifth room? Therefore, one by one they asked excitedly.
"Is it the prince? Or one of the prince's other children? Is she going to be a concubine? Or something else? How much is the betrothal gift? When will the betrothal be made?"
A series of questions were raised, and everyone started talking at once.
Even Shang Qinnan herself had surprise in her eyes.
She really didn't expect that she would be so lucky.
When she thought about the time she went to Prince Fu's Mansion with Madam Wei a few years ago and saw how her eldest cousin was living now, she couldn't help but feel happy.
If she could live that kind of life, she would be willing to pay any price.
"Alright, alright, let me speak first. I don't know who to answer your questions."
Shang Wulang was somewhat pleased with himself, but he still suppressed the ecstasy that rose in his heart.
Then he said.
"He is neither a prince nor a bastard. If Seventh Sister can get this opportunity, she will marry the real Prince Min! She will be the real Prince's bedmate, not much better than those empty-headed ones."
"Your Majesty?"
"But didn't Prince Min just celebrate his birthday not long ago? He's several years older than me!"
The first one to speak was Shang Yuding. Since it concerned his own daughter, he finally spoke.
When he spoke, Mrs. Guo couldn't help crying.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She was scared of being beaten, so she didn't dare to speak casually.
No mother would be able to accept hearing that her daughter is going to marry a man who is almost older than her grandfather.
Moreover, although she didn't know much about what was going on in Prince Min's Palace, she had never heard of the death of Princess Min.
That meant that she would be a concubine after marrying him, which was even more unacceptable to Mrs. Guo.
Shang Qinnan, who was standing by, seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze without making any sound.
After all, God still didn't want or desire to favor their family.
Tears silently flowed down my cheeks, and I felt extremely disappointed.
However, Wulang's wife saw the tears of the mother and daughter. She stood on the same side as her husband and rushed to comfort them.
"Second aunt and Seventh sister, please stop crying. Since Wulang said it's a good match, let's listen to what happens next."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Shang Yuding's frowning brows and his eyes, which had always been obsessed with money, sex and wine, suddenly emitted a cold light.
He snorted coldly and said to Wulang's wife.
"I'm sure you're not talking about your Fifth Lady. You're actually good at finding a way out for your husband."
Wulang's wife blushed immediately after being rebuked by her second uncle.
But no matter how unwilling she was to accept it, he was still her elder, so she could only sit down angrily and stir the handkerchief in her hand to vent her anger.
Shang Wulang, who was standing by, saw this and wanted to vent his wife's anger, so he opened his mouth and spoke to Shang Yuding.
"Uncle, don't be impatient. The highlight is still to come. My wife only said this for my own good. Don't be offended, uncle."
Shang Wulang cast a look over, and Wulang's wife also looked at him with deep affection.
It’s a pity that this deep affection, in the eyes of everyone, is not as important as Qinnan’s marriage.
The first person to ask questions to break the deadlock was the Fifth Old Lady, who probably still had a little bit of pity for her granddaughter.
So he asked with a frown.
"Wu Lang, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us how it turned out to be a good marriage."
"Grandmother, do you know how much the betrothal gift would be if the concubine of Prince Min's mansion was taken in?"
The fifth old lady shook her head, and the others also followed suit in confusion.
"Ten thousand taels. A full ten thousand taels."
When they heard this, everyone present gasped.
