A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

What the Crown Prince didn't know was that the Second Prince instigated him to attack the Song Family, not only for revenge against the Song Family, but also to benefit from it.

The two brothers discussed the following matters. The Second Prince was cunning and his words made the Crown Prince nod his head repeatedly. He said frankly that with a think tank like the Second Prince around, he would not have to worry about anything.

In the following days, the news of the marriage between the Song family and the Qin family also spread in Beijing.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 14th. Su Shunci prepared six carts of holiday gifts, intending to send two carts each to the Song family, the Shen family, and the Su family.

Of course, the two cars of the Su family are for Uncle San and Aunt San.

Just before she went out, Su Zhilan came to see her and gave her the mung bean cake made by her mother Hai.

After thanking her, Su Shunci asked Su Zhilan, "I'm going to give festival gifts to the Song family and my elder sister. Will you come with me?"

"I'll send you to the Su family last, and I can also send you home."

After that, he hesitated and said, "You are engaged to King Zhongyong, is it convenient for you to go to the Song family like this?"

Some families in Beijing would take these things into consideration, and after the engagement, the unmarried couple would rarely see each other.

Su Zhilan said nonchalantly, "Go ahead. It's a good opportunity to go see Sister Wanwan and pay respects to the old lady and Madam Song."

She and Song Hongshen had met privately several times because of the shipbuilding. She had also followed him to the Ministry of Works several times. So she didn't think it was against the rules to go to the Song family with Su Shunci.

A few days ago, Song Hongshen went to the Su family to give a festival gift, and her parents also returned the gift. She didn't need to worry about the festival gifts. This time, she was just going to play with her fourth sister.

On the way to the Song family, Su Shunci leaned against the wall of the carriage, with fatigue unconcealed between her brows.

"What's wrong, Fourth Sister? I haven't seen you for a while. Are you busy these days?"

It has been almost half a month since the Qin family's old lady celebrated her birthday. Su Zhilan went to Prince Ning's mansion twice, but didn't see her.

Su Shunci smiled bitterly, "I have been busy with sea transportation for the past half month. The first batch of goods was finally delivered yesterday. I can take a few days off."

"Ordinarily, this gift should have been given a long time ago, but I was too busy to do it, so I put it off until now."

She and Lin Wuchen worked hard for several months and finally delivered the goods successfully.

As for the shipping business, the two had divided their responsibilities. Su Shunci was responsible for cotton brocade and jewelry, while Lin Wuchen was responsible for porcelain and tea. The two made their own purchases and calculated their own profits. Only the expenses incurred by going out to sea were shared equally.

Su Zhilan held Su Shunci's hand and comforted her, "We are all family, who can find fault with you?"

"Now that you're done with your work, you should take a good rest for a few days. Fourth sister is only one year older than me, but she's already so amazing. If I had to say who I admire the most, it would be Fourth sister."

She wasn't saying it deliberately to sound nice, it was truly what she said. When she couldn't sleep at night, she had thought about it. If she had the same background and circumstances as her fourth sister, could she have made a name for herself in this world?

At that time, she subconsciously shook her head. She felt that it was not possible because she did not have the temperament and means of her fourth sister.

The fourth sister’s current status is due not only to the help of noble people like her eldest sister and third cousin, but also to her own resilience.

My father once said that everyone will meet noble people and have good fortunes in their life, but in the end, it all depends on oneself.

No matter how good a bricklayer is, he cannot support rotten mud on the wall.

Su Zhilan spoke slowly and calmly, looking at her with concern.

Su Shunci touched her cheek lovingly, "It's okay, Fourth Sister. When you get married, Fourth Sister will definitely give you a big dowry."

Su Zhilan didn't say no politely, but rubbed against Su Shunci again, "Well, then I will wait to enjoy the blessing of Fourth Sister."

When the two sisters arrived at the Song family, they first went to pay their respects to the old lady and the marquis' wife, Wang.

The old lady talked to the two of them for a long time, and then gave them Mid-Autumn Festival gifts separately. Each of them received a pair of white jade bracelets, which were completely translucent.

Song Wanwan got the news and they both knew that the virtuous concubine was hosting a banquet for the ladies of the capital today and that Lady Wang, the Marquis, had entered the palace.

The old lady of the Song family is particularly happy today. She has a biological granddaughter, a god-granddaughter, and a granddaughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.

They are all beautiful and charming girls, and she likes them all from the bottom of her heart.

Su Shunci originally planned to chat with her and then go to Shen's house so that she could have lunch with her elder sister at noon.

But Old Madam Song kept holding them and ordered people to prepare a banquet.

No one wanted to spoil the old lady's mood, so they had lunch with her.

After lunch, the old lady wanted to rest, so Song Wanwan took Su Shunci and Su Zhilan to her own yard.

Without the elders around, the few of them were more casual.

After entering and sitting down, Song Wanwan asked someone to bring her newly made rose perfume and asked the two to take it back and use it when bathing.

Su Shunci asked, "Sister Wanwan, why did you suddenly get engaged to Mr. Qin San?"

Ever since Song Wanwan announced her engagement, Su Shunci had always wanted to come and ask about it, but had never found the time.

The last time I was at the Qin family celebrating Old Madam Qin’s birthday, I hadn’t heard about this matter yet. I always felt it was a bit hasty.

Song Wanwan felt like she was dreaming these days. Sometimes she suddenly remembered that she was engaged and found it unbelievable.

Thinking of Qin Yuan, she pursed her lips and smiled, "A good husband must be taken quickly, what if he is snatched away by someone else?"

Su Shunci and Su Zhilan both looked at her in astonishment, then they looked at each other with looks of disbelief.

Song Wanwan didn't explain much, but she felt that it would be hard to find someone like Qin Yuan who would be afraid of pain and cry out in pain, and who would hurt himself because of considering her.

So when her father said that day that he would think about it for a few more days, it was she who suggested replying to the letter and settling the marriage as soon as possible.

My mother said that getting married was like gambling, and she was afraid that she would lose. But since marrying anyone was like gambling, it would be better to marry someone who was pleasing to her.

She counted all the noblemen in Beijing in her mind. Apart from her brothers, she liked Qin Yuan the most.

Even if she really lost the bet, Song Wanwan could afford it.

While they were talking, a maid came in to report that the lady had returned.

The three of them stood up and headed towards the main courtyard where Wang lived.

Before she even entered the door, Song Wanwan noticed something was wrong.

The two maids serving at the door were silent as a mouse, not daring to breathe.

After entering the room, Song Wanwan glanced at her mother and knew that she returned home in anger.

The three of them stepped forward and saluted. Song Wanwan asked, "What happened? What happened when you entered the palace today?"

Seeing that her mother had a sullen face and didn't say anything, she looked at the maidservant beside her mother, Rendong.

How could Rendong dare to explain? She could only give Song Wanwan a look, indicating that it was indeed a matter of the palace.

After a moment, Wang's expression relaxed, "Don't stand anymore, all of you, sit down."

Then he told Ren Dong, "Serve the tea, and bring up the big tangerines that were sent from the south a few days ago for the ladies to eat."

All the irrelevant people in the room were sent away by Wang.

When there were no outsiders around, she started talking about what happened in the palace today, and Song Wanwan was so angry that she almost smashed the teacup.
