Chapter 060 Chapter 60

"Did the Yan family agree?" Mrs. Shen found it unbelievable.

In her eyes, Yan Yingqi was not the kind of person who would compromise just because he felt he had done something wrong. Originally, Mrs. Shen had only come to ask a question.

She naturally discussed it with her husband: "Since the Yan family has agreed, let's set it in winter, so it won't be too cold."

Mr. Shen thought about it. Yan Yingqi was currently trying hard to get the position of Minister of Rites. He was simply having the best of both worlds and was considered a popular candidate. He might even make further progress in the future. Now that the Yan family had agreed, it might be to make up for the failure of the last marriage between the Yan and Shen families.

Frankly speaking, the third girl this time actually has a better family background and a more outstanding character, so her son is not at a disadvantage.

Looking at Yan Yingqi's lively appearance, he may have another 20 to 30 years of official career. This marriage to the Yan family is a very good one.

"Okay, you go ahead and take care of this matter." Mr. Shen also nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Shen came to negotiate again. Xie said, "Mrs. Shen, I have an unwelcome request. You know, if it weren't for your request, we would not have been willing to marry our daughter off so early. Miss Shen is an adult man, but Yao Niang is not yet of marriage age. If they consummate their marriage too early, it may be harmful to their health. So I would like to ask you to wait until she reaches marriage age before consummating the marriage."

Yan Yingqi taught Xie to say these words, and Xie added the latter part.

"That's as they should be." Mrs. Shen knew that the Yan family treasured their daughter very much. The more they valued their daughter, the better they would be to their son-in-law in the future.

Xie smiled and said, "Madam, you are so reasonable. To be honest, I only have them two siblings in my life, especially my daughter who has been with me since she was a child. I am very reluctant to let her go. But her father said that what happened before was wrong on our part. Now you have the right to ask for this. Linfeng has entered the officialdom and does need someone to take care of her. But she is too young. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive her."

Seeing Xie's earnest words, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but nod her head and said, "It's really pitiful how kind-hearted parents are. Don't worry, I will definitely treat your daughter well. I treat her as my own daughter."

When her daughter looked at such words, Xie had heard them from Old Lady Quan, and everyone knew what happened afterwards, so she didn't believe them.

But Xie said, "Mrs. Shen is obviously kind. Our daughter is lucky to have a mother-in-law like you."

Then Xie also talked about a lot of details, and the two set a date. The wedding date was on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, before the winter solstice, and Yao Niang would marry into the family.

This means that the divorce date is only two or three months away. Li was originally planning to marry at the end of the year, and Xie also changed the date with the Li family to October.

Even Yao Niang refused and got angry at her parents: "My daughter should get married at least next year. It's too early. Why should she follow her family's opinion? I won't agree. My daughter won't get married."

Yan Yingqi pointed at her and said, "That's it. Keep this attitude."

"Dad." Yao Niang was really angry.

However, Xie explained privately: "If you don't marry now and observe mourning, even if you say you are from the next room, your father is now the head of two rooms, and the grandfather of the other room is also your biological grandfather, so you can't marry for three years. You have to know that Shen Linfeng is now an official in the Hanlin Academy, so you can't be too relieved."

Only then did Yao Niang understand, but she had not heard anything before. Xie Shi had repeatedly urged her, and also said, "If your fourth sister wasn't too young, your father would have originally planned to marry her off as well."

Yao Niang is now at least fifteen years old, and she would have been fourteen and a half when she got married. Although she is young, it is unlikely that they would consummate the marriage so early. Ying Niang is one year younger than Yao Niang, so she is indeed too young.

"Doesn't that mean I'll be a bride in a few months?" Yao Niang was really speechless.

Xie said again, "What do you have to be afraid of? In terms of principles, you are a great contributor to the restoration of the Shen and Yan families. As for you personally, I will give you a portion of your elder sister's dowry as compensation to the Shen family. I will also buy you another portion of dowry. Your father will give you 10,000 yuan from the public treasury, and your grandparents will also give a portion. Silly child, you can save face, because you have to get married anyway."

Xie has now figured it out.

"Mom, I really can't accept it. There are so many people in the Shen family and I am completely in the dark. I don't know if Shen Linfeng will change his mind. Also, I wish I could get married at the age of 18." Yao Niang muttered. She still didn't want to leave her parents and brother and leave the familiar environment.

Xie smiled and said, "Silly child, a girl should not be kept at home when she grows up. Mother was also your age when she married your father and knew nothing. But your knowledge is more than ten times that of mine. The Shen family may not be a bad family."

Yao Niang felt that things were changing too quickly. Her mother even went to the Marquis of Jinghai's mansion in person to ask Commander Liu's wife to be his wife. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu agreed.

In order to express her gratitude to Madam Liu, Yao Niang specially painted a picture of a rose beauty. It is said that Madam Liu's name contains the word "Wei".

Mrs. Liu was also very moved when she saw Yao Niang: "I never thought that you two would become husband and wife now. Don't worry, you will definitely live happily together this time."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Yao Niang suddenly felt that she had grown up.

Mrs. Liu took the portrait and looked at Yao Niang again: "Third Miss, with your looks and temperament, and your kind heart, I think you will definitely be able to live a good life."

Yao Niang stood up and thanked him: "Last time you took care of our family's affairs. This time I'm sorry to bother you with our affairs." She also liked this Commander's wife Liu very much. If most people had failed last time, they would definitely avoid her as much as possible, but she came over with a smile and said that she would definitely do it well.

When Mrs. Liu heard her thank you, she waved her hand and said, "Don't say that. I am willing to take the trouble for you."

"Excuse me, ma'am."

"Why are you embarrassing me? To be honest, Miss Yan San, I have traveled all over the provinces, and I have never seen a girl prettier than you. The Shen family is very lucky to marry you." Mrs. Liu seemed to be particularly appreciative of the girl in front of her.

Yao Niang blushed and said, "You are really too flattering."

Mrs. Liu looked at the girl in front of her who was painted as a rose fairy. The clothes made of flowers made her look like a fairy from heaven. What was even more interesting was that she was holding a yellow oriole in her hand, which made her look even cuter. She had been to the Yan family before and had a good impression of the third girl. Now she was given a painting of her and made so beautiful. How could she not like her?

Originally, she sympathized with Shen Linfeng. After all, it was her target Yan Ningxin who ran away from the marriage, and Shen Linfeng was the one who suffered the most.

But now she feels that this boy is really lucky, this one is much better than the previous one.

It seems that sometimes you really can gain something in return for a loss in one place.

The marriages of Yao Niang and Yan Jingzhao were carried out at the same time, and the eldest wife Zhen was also busy helping Qian Niang with her wedding. Of course, Zhen was not happy with Yan Yingqi marrying Yao Niang to such a talented man like Shen Linfeng, and also gave Yan Ningxin's dowry to Yao Niang.

She hinted at it, and Yan Yingqi's attitude was very clear: "These are all compensations to the Shen family. We were wrong in the first place. They don't want the dowry, so we can't refuse to give it to them. Yao Niang is suffering on behalf of Ning Xin."

Zhen thought that this was not a punishment for others, so why not let her own daughter suffer the punishment?

She finally realized that her husband was really partial to her, to such an extent that she had nothing to say. She couldn't even make a fuss, because if she did, it would let others know that she was not liked in this family.

All the women in this mansion are based on the status of the head of the family. Yan Yingqi is a man who will not be persuaded by soft or hard tactics. If you irritate him, it is hard to predict what the consequences will be.

"Yes, you are right." Zhen said, and she mentioned it casually: "I remembered that Miss Xin is not young anymore. Master, you are praising the young man from the Zhou family. If the two of them can be together, I think it would be great."

Yan Yingqi shook his head and said, "No, Zhou Lingguang is young but ambitious. My niece should find a more honest man. Forget it. You should take care of my second sister's marriage. I have already told the accountant."

"Yes, sir." Zhen replied with a smile.

Compared to the Yan family's Yao Niang who was beginning to accept the fact, Shen Linfeng felt that this matter was simply a wish come true. He laughed loudly and asked: "Mother, is this true? Will the Yan family let the Divine Concubine marry me?"

"Sister Goddess? Is she the third daughter of the Yan family?" Mrs. Shen was a little stunned after hearing the name.

Shen Linfeng nodded excitedly: "Yes, this is her name, and I just heard it for the first time. Mom, do you think her name is nice?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned: "It's just a little magical."

Shen Linfeng stood up again and said, "Mother, Sister Shenfei likes to play on the swing. I'll have someone put a swing in front of my yard later."

Seeing her son so happy, Mrs. Shen felt a little sad: "At least be at peace. I haven't seen you like this in years."

Shen Linfeng couldn't hide his smile: "My son is not young anymore. It's not easy for him to get married now. Shouldn't he be happy? I hope mother won't blame me."

"I didn't expect that the Yan family actually agreed to marry someone here, and they invited Commander Liu's wife to be Mrs. Quanfu. Although Mrs. Liu is young, she is talented." Mrs. Shen smiled and chatted with her son.

Shen Linfeng was not very interested in these trivial matters. He just said "Oh". His mind had already flown to other places. He had to ask his uncle to send some Sichuan brocade, which made clothes with bright colors.

Then Mrs. Shen said, "Silly boy, your wife is still young, and I'm thinking that you should have two more women to serve you. I've talked to the Yan family about this, and Mrs. Yan agreed. When their daughter gets married, we can just send the two away. Don't worry, the two girls I found for you are both very dutiful."
