Chapter 185 Retiring for the next best thing (Qin Xiaochen's spirit beast eggs +2)

Of course, they were all here for the second girl of the Shen family.

It is humane to marry a wife who is unvirtuous and bring harm to the children and grandchildren. Miss Shen is neither humble nor aggressive in the school field, and she fully demonstrates the quality and self-cultivation of a lady.

Such a girl is worth more than her family background itself, not to mention her family background is not weak.

But since the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, they have nothing to say.

Apart from sighing secretly that he didn't know who would pick up the advantage, he forced himself into the palace to thank him.

The rest of the slow-moving ones, although they haven't realized that the marriage offer has something to do with their posting to the Shen family, they also began to secretly cheer up, knocking out a group of opponents, and naturally going to the Shen family to discuss marriage will have a great chance of winning.

The only one who can't be happy is of course the Lin family!

Before Lin Pei returned to the mansion, the Lin family had already exploded, and he didn't know why the little emperor arranged such a marriage for him.

And Lin Pei knew that the matter was completely broken after being scolded by Shen Xi, so he went back to the mansion, and when he heard the news, he just sat there in a daze, speechless.

Wen Chan heard the news when she woke up from her afternoon nap.

The purpose of setting up a civil and martial arts school at the Dragon's Birthday Banquet was to show the demeanor of the younger generation of Da Zhou, so it is not surprising that there will be a marriage gift afterwards.

However, so many marriages were bestowed all at once, and some of them were noble sons with excellent backgrounds, so she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy after hearing this.

Song Jiao originally had the opportunity to marry into Yan Wang's mansion as the eldest concubine, adding another layer of honor to her, but who would have thought that not only her marriage would be ruined, but she would also lose such a big face in the school field?
This is great, the little emperor even bypassed her in bestowing the marriage.

The cousin of the Han family has fallen to this point, where does this put her face as a grandmother?
It would be a lie to say that Song Jiao is not annoyed, but if she is all to blame, he will not be ruthless.

After all, she was the one who urged her to end at that time, Han Ning suggested, but who would have thought that she would go after Shen Xi?

And actually kicked such a hard iron plate?
What annoyed her was that she accepted it without knowing what was good. If it was Han Ning, she would never be like this when encountering such a thing.

After all, the surname is not Han.

She sighed.

Han Ning, like the Han Dun brothers, was brought up by her when they were young, the only difference is that Han Dun stayed in the Zhang family for a few years.

But Han Dun, who had stayed in Zhang's house for a few years, still spoke with her, while Song Jiao, who was in her teens under Song's parents, could never inherit her calmness.

If a person is too arrogant and sharp, he will always suffer.

If she didn't know how to hide her claws in the Zhang family in those years, how would she still have the current scenery?
But it's a pity that Song Jiao's arrogance was spoiled by her mother in the Song family, and it can't be changed in her hands.

Qingluan brought lotus seed soup.

She took a half sip and said, "Give one to the girls too."

Qingluan nodded, and said again: "My cousin hasn't come out for two days."

Wen Chan frowned.

Qingluan looked at Mi Xiang who was tending orchids under the window.

Mi Xiang came over, bowed and said: "Young lady, she just has a hard time in her heart, and it will be fine in a few days."

Seeing that Wen Chan didn't make a sound after speaking, she turned her head and told Qingluan: "The girl just won't come out, the old lady's wishes will always be conveyed. Why don't you send a snapshot?"

Qingluan quickly said yes.

Wen Chan finished eating the lotus seed soup here, pointed to Xiudun'er beside her and asked, "What's going on with this marriage?"

"It's strange to say."

Mi Xiang sat down on the embroidered pier: "It is said that among the nine marriages granted today, the men are all families who are planning to discuss marriage with Shen's residence."

"The Shen family?" Wen Chan raised her eyes, "That girl named Shen Xi?"

"Exactly." Mi Xiang nodded, "Ever since that girl from the Shen family made a big splash in the school grounds, the official households in the city have been posting posts to the Shen family one after another in the past few days.

"It's only been two or three days. It's said that a dozen or so households have already expressed this intention. But before this, no one cares about this girl from the Shen family."

Wen Chan's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.

That girl trampled on Song Jiao so hard that she lost her limelight, and even the officials and households in the city ran after her!
She pinched the fan in her hand, then thought of what Mi Xiang said, and said, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"It is said that the son of King Yan asked to give a marriage to the daughter of a young lady who took the civil and martial arts examination in the school. Later, after the market was found, there were still so many young men in the city who were waiting to be married, so these were selected."

"Really?" Wen Chan frowned, always thinking it was too coincidental.

Mi Xiang saw it, and said again: "At first, I also thought that Prince Yan did it on purpose. But after thinking about it, I felt that there was no reason.

"These sons who were given marriages are all from good family backgrounds, and the family's reputation is not bad. It will be of great benefit to the Shen family that Miss Shen's family will marry one of them.

"Although it seems that the relationship between Shen Ruopu and Yan Wang Shizi is acceptable, if it is said that Xiao Shizi is trying to help the Shen family solve the dilemma, Shen Ruopu is obviously missing something."

Wen Chan took it for granted, and nodded without showing any signs.

Xiao Huai didn't just give face to others casually, otherwise, how dare he run on Han Dun in Qianqing Palace in front of the emperor and ministers?

He helped Shen Ruopu - it's hard to say.Maybe Shen Ruopu has to blame him for ruining his Shen family's good deeds!
But is it really a coincidence that he did so?

"My servant thinks, maybe it's because we sent Sister Jiao to her to discuss marriage last time, which made him wary?"

Mi Xiang tried to speak again.

When Wen Chan heard this, her heart brightened.

Xiao Huai is used to not wanting to suffer. Last time they were tricked, so how could he not guard against it this time?

He was guarding against the Empress Dowager and the Han family taking advantage of this civil and martial arts school to plot against him in different ways, which is not impossible...

Although there was too much speculation involved, she couldn't think of any other possibilities other than this.

But that's good too, the families who came to ask for marriage were given marriages one by one, which made Shen Jiabai happy, which was equivalent to giving her a sigh of relief.

She felt a little better, and after thinking about it, she said, "Go and find out who other young masters are suitable? It's time for Sister Jiao to make up her mind."

The concubine of King Yan is already hopeless, but there are still many powerful and potential ministers in the court, so let's settle for the next best thing.

Han Ning is still up for grabs, but it doesn't make any sense for her to procrastinate.

Mi Xiang immediately led the order to go out.

She just got up here and went around half a circle in the garden, and Mi Xiang came up again: "I found out that there are still the sons of Guangchenghou, Pingnanbo, the eldest grandson of Qi Shangshu, and the eldest grandson of Wu Shangshu." , are not yet married."

Marquis Guangcheng and Uncle Ping Nan are both heroes with military exploits. Although they are subordinates of the Yan Palace, they are very powerful among the officials.

"Go back and bring their children's name cards, and ask Mrs. Chen to walk around and have a look." She ordered.
