Twin Brocade

Chapter 401 A Great Happy Event

Si Lansheng smiled, and asked Caixia to bring those boxes of rouge to choose colors for her.Caixia leads the way and goes out, Yanxia goes forward to continue a round of tea and retreats to the side.

The air in the room suddenly became quiet, and Si Lansheng didn't speak, only sipping tea slowly.

Mrs. Ju San gritted her teeth, and finally couldn't hold back, she said: "Sister Si, I remember your family secretary, you are going to meet for a marriage?"

"She has just turned 12 years old. Her father told me that she wants to stay for a few more years. There is no rush."

Si Lansheng held the teacup in his hand, and said the words back without being soft or hard.According to her relationship with Mrs. Ju San, when the other party suddenly mentioned Fang Jinshu's marriage, she instinctively told her that it was not a good thing.

This Mrs. Ju is the third daughter-in-law of Dali Temple Minister Ju Lihui.

As both ladies in the capital, when they were in the boudoir, the relationship between her and Si Lansheng was not harmonious, and she always wanted to get rid of her limelight.But helplessly, Si Lansheng always takes the lead in everything, even marriage.

After Fang Shuyu won the number one prize that year, she secretly promised Fang Shuyu, but Fang Shuyu never paid her any attention from the beginning to the end.Not long after, she heard the news that the Fang family had gone to the Si family to propose marriage, which made her hate it.

Later, when she married into Ju's family, she wanted to overwhelm Si Lansheng.After all, Si Lansheng's father was only the young minister of Dali Temple, and her father-in-law was the minister of Dali Temple, firmly ranking the Si family one level.

Naturally, Si Lansheng would not fail to understand her intentions.After both of them got married as wives, because of these grievances, there was almost no communication.

It's just that she suddenly handed over a greeting card yesterday, and since the Ju family is her father's boss, Si Lansheng couldn't shirk it.

What can such a person tell Shu'er that a good marriage will not work out?Therefore, she can't answer this question.

But Mrs. Ju San came here today prepared, she would speak up if Si Lansheng didn't pick up the conversation.Immediately she laughed coquettishly, and said: "My sister's words are wrong. The male college should be married and the female college should be married, and the daughter is Jingui. I'm afraid that if you stay here, you will become enemies."

"We women are in charge of these things, what does it have to do with men." She rolled her eyes and giggled: "Sister, aren't you afraid of your family?"

This is really frivolous enough.

Si Lansheng was furious in her heart, but a blush flew over her face, and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, our mother's affairs are all decided by the husband, and I've always been used to it."

She knew Mrs. Ju San was jealous, so let her be even more jealous!

Mrs. Ju San's complexion changed slightly, unexpectedly, she would admit it like that!This made her grit her teeth with hatred, took a breath, and said firmly: "Then please ask my sister to ask for me, is the county prince in the prince's mansion worthy of your Fang Jinshu?"

"The prince of the county?" Si Lansheng's heart jumped, and he asked, "Which prince of the county?"

"Look at what my sister said, who else is there?" Mrs. Ju San said: "The second son of the Crown Princess's knee, the age just matches your sister's son, and he looks good."

"Sister, tell me, did I come to congratulate you?"

"It's about the royal family, my sister can't talk nonsense." Si Lansheng felt his heart was in a mess, trying to stabilize his position, and said: "Where do you start with this?"

"Oh, of course you can't talk nonsense." Mrs. Ju San covered her mouth and said, "This is what the Crown Princess told me personally. Sister, look at it, this is a great joy."

Before talking about marriage, ask someone to come to the door to find out the news. This is indeed a common communication method used by wealthy families in Beijing.This proves from the side that the prince's mansion is really serious about this matter.

Because of this, Si Lansheng felt scared in his heart.

The second son is Wei Jiahang whom Fang Jinshu met that day in Meiyingtang.Although she hadn't heard of his bad reputation, after that incident, he still came to propose marriage, which always made her feel uneasy.

What's more, if Fang Jinshu married into the prince's mansion as a daughter-in-law, it would be like choosing a political position for the Fang family in disguise.The Fang family has just gained some foundation, and it is not a good thing to express their attitude prematurely.

"My sister was joking." Si Lansheng concealed his emotions, and said with a smile, "It's not like you don't know how our family can afford the Prince's Mansion."

"What's the matter, raise your head to marry a daughter and lower your head to marry a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Ju said with a smile, "Don't you think that the county prince is only the second son?"

Si Lansheng resolutely denied this remark, "Of course not. It's our honor that the Crown Princess can think highly of our sister Shu. It's just that this is a big matter, and our Fang family just can't afford it."

Of course she can't let go, once there is a flaw, Mrs. Ju San will take the blame.Fortunately, she took the initiative at the beginning and overwhelmed Mrs. Ju San, so she had room to maneuver in her speech.

Caixia came back early in the morning with the rouge, but waited by the door and did not come in.Seeing this, she came in with a small tray, bent her knees and said, "Ma'am, the rouge you want."

Si Lansheng gave her an approving look, motioned her to hold it in front of Mrs. Ju San, and said with a smile, "I made a few colors this time, and my sister chose carefully. If you like them all, I'll give them all to you."

"It's so rare that the two of us sisters can sit down and talk, how can we make my sister happy?"

Hearing that there was something in her words, Mrs. Ju San asked the maid who was serving her to open the lid, looked at it carefully and said: "Sister, you treat me as a blind and greedy person, one box is enough."

Next, Si Lansheng tugged on some clothes and jewelry with her, and finally said: "I hope that my sister will return to the Crown Princess. Marriage is a big event here, and I am really flattered to hear that I am here suddenly. The family status is too far apart, let us think carefully."

"Anyway, the two children are young, so there is no hurry at this moment."

What she said was reasonable, the marriage of children, especially the first-born children in the family, was a top priority.No matter which one is placed, there is no one who immediately agrees to it.

Mrs. Ju San didn't expect to solve the problem in a single trip. She accepted this job in front of the Crown Princess because she wanted to take advantage of the power of the Crown Prince's House to get rid of Si Lansheng.

So, this is just the first trip, so what if you don't come a few more times.

As Yanxia sent Mrs. Ju San out, Si Lansheng's smile disappeared instantly.If you look closely, you can see that her whole body is trembling slightly, and the hands that are holding on to the chair appear white from the excessive force.

She never cared about Mrs. Ju San.

What frightened her was that the crown prince had his eye on the Fang family!Although Wei Jiahang is the second son, his marriage cannot be decided by the Crown Princess alone. This matter must have passed the Crown Prince's approval.

Maybe it was the prince's instruction.

She only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and the heat released from the charcoal basin in the flower hall could not warm her body.The other party has taken a fancy to Sister Shu, is this going to gouge out her heart?
