Chapter 75 White Joy

Even if you tie them all together, I'm afraid they wouldn't be enough to sell for ten thousand taels.

Joy burst out from everyone's eyes, especially the Fifth Old Master and Shang Yuding, the biological father.

It seemed that they had already thought about how to spend the betrothal money, so they were naturally very happy.

Shang Qinnan was originally crying sadly, but when she heard about the betrothal money, she couldn't help swallowing.

She is now lucky to have two or three taels of silver a year.

Ten thousand taels, she never dreamed that there would be such an opportunity.

Suddenly, I felt that King Min’s age was not such a big deal.

The handkerchief concealed the panic and confusion in his eyes.

What she was thinking about more at this moment was how to save the betrothal money from these ruthless relatives and take it away.

Among all the people present, probably the only one who felt heartbroken was her mother, Guo.

While she hated herself for being incompetent, her three daughters were married off like goods and animals by people in the family, but she didn't know how to refuse.

At the same time, I feel sorry for my daughters. None of them can find a good man. What sin have they committed?

It’s a pity that the arm cannot twist the thigh.

Even if she cried to death in this room, I'm afraid no one would care.

After all, when hearing about the betrothal gift of 12,000 taels, no one cared what the consequences would be if Qinniang got married.

Everyone just wants to get things done quickly and then reap the rewards.

Therefore, the Fifth Old Master no longer cared about his face, and even though this "grandson-in-law" was only a dozen years younger, he still felt that it was a very good marriage.

So, I asked again and again with great excitement.

"Wu Lang, such a good marriage is indeed beyond our reach. When will the palace come to propose?"

His anxious look was hard to look at, but what he asked was what everyone wanted to know, so no one thought he was being excessive.

When Shang Wulang heard this, his originally confident expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

So he coughed twice before speaking.

"Grandfather, don't panic. This matter has not been decided yet. I am afraid that my seventh sister will have concerns. That's why I rushed to send the news home as soon as I heard it. Therefore, the palace is still not sure who will have the opportunity to enjoy this blessing."

Hearing this, everyone present felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured down on them.

Especially Shang Yuding, who couldn't wait to step on Shang Wulang a few times.

He wanted to make his nephew, who always stole the limelight in front of his father, feel better by getting scolded a little more, so he rushed to say it.

"After all this time, you still can't get Qi Niang into the palace? Then what nonsense are you talking about here? You're wasting our time!"

There was so much disdain in his eyes that he almost uttered the word "waste".

Shang Wulang and his second uncle were not on good terms. If his biological sister Wuniang had not been married, would it have been Qi Niang's turn? The second uncle did not thank him for sending the news back, but also made up a story, which really made Shang Wulang a little angry.

He wanted to quit the job immediately, but Shang Yu'an came out to smooth things over.

"Don't worry, second brother. Although nothing has happened yet, it's a good thing to know the news in advance. Otherwise, when the palace finds the person, there will be no chance for our Qi Niang, right?"

After he said this, Shang Yuding's anger was no longer so strong.

However, the fifth old master protected his son and scolded him.

"As a father, you don't even think about finding a good marriage for your daughter. Not only does Wulang have to work hard outside, but you are still here being picky. Humph, go back. I find your father annoying!"

When he got angry, Shang Yuding's face turned pale and blue.

Then he looked at his younger brother and nephew angrily, and then left in anger, leaving no way out for himself.

Anyway, he has no status in this family, so he might as well go out and drink and have fun.

So, he walked out of Yingjuan Courtyard without looking back.

Once he left, Mrs. Guo and Shang Qinnan were left without any support.

They were like two lambs to be slaughtered, feeling very uncomfortable here, while the butcher who was about to swing the knife at them seemed much more amiable.

For example, Shang Yu'an started to attack Madam Guo and spoke in a calm tone.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you think of Qi Niang's marriage?"

Mrs. Guo has been married for so many years, but few people have asked for her opinion, so she has long developed a silent personality.

“I, I, I…”

After talking for a long time, his face turned red with anxiety, but he couldn't say anything.

The Fifth Old Master and the Fifth Old Lady were very unhappy about this and regretted having married such a daughter-in-law to their son.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He can't give birth to grandchildren, and he can't speak eloquently.

It's of no use at all.

Therefore, the fifth old lady cursed without giving any face.

"You cry all day long, no wonder you can't win a man's heart. Look at what Ding'er has become because of you. Even the teachers said he was talented, but since he married you, he can't pass the imperial examination, and he doesn't have a son. Pah, you are a scourge to people, you deserve to be divorced!"

After she said this, the already timid Mrs. Guo was scolded even more and could only cry.

Although Shang Qinnan hated her mother's weakness, she still took good care of her.

Therefore, although she was a little scared, she still helped out and spoke to the fifth old lady.

"Grandma, please calm down. If this can be accomplished, your granddaughter is willing to marry him and contribute to the family."

Hearing her statement, Mrs. Guo, the mother, burst into tears.

However, the Fifth Elder Lady and the others looked much more relaxed and spoke with some relief.

"Qiniang is a good and sensible child. If you can really enter the Prince Min's Palace, it will be a great thing. Although the Prince Min is older, he will definitely love you."

"That's what Grandma said."

Wulang's wife next to him also stretched her head and said when she saw this.

"With Seventh Sister's beauty and ability, she will definitely stand out in the Min Palace. Didn't the eldest sister rise to the top in the same way? Seventh Sister's blessings are definitely yet to come."

When she said this, others nodded in agreement.

However, Shang Yu'an's wife, Ni, felt a little regretful. She felt a little sad that such a good child had to use her beauty to please others.

But she couldn't decide the affairs of the fifth room.

Therefore, she didn't say much.

At this point, the people from the fifth house reached a consensus to send Shang Qinnan to Prince Min's palace.

But how to send it? That was another problem.

Shang Wulang thought about it and felt that he might have to find some connections to solve this matter.

Otherwise, with the connections of the fifth house, let alone entering Prince Min's Palace, it would be a problem whether they could even meet a second-class steward there.
