pet marriage

Soon it came to the day when Luo's family invited them. Shen Qingyue changed her clothes and asked Gui Yu to put on a set of expensive and gorgeous jewelry. After finishing her makeup, she heard a servant girl come to report that the eldest lady had come.

Shen Qingyue raised her brows, responded casually, got up and walked towards the door, and saw Shen Mingshu walking from a distance from the corridor, wearing a light blue dress, with a straight back, looking capable and reliable.

Seeing Shen Qingyue, Shen Mingshu had a faint smile on his indifferent face, walked up to him, looked up and down, "Are you going out today?"

Shen Qingyue raised her head and raised the corners of her lips, "I will go to the Luo Mansion for a banquet with my aunt Biyu later."

Shen Mingshu was taken aback for a moment, she already knew the news from the Luo Mansion, but she didn't know that Shen Qingyue would go with her, she smiled and said: "It's rare that you are so well-dressed today, you really should."

Seeing that she was so calm, Shen Qingyue curled her lips and said, "When the time comes, I will see that Miss Luo Er who is on your mind is coming, don't you worry?"

Shen Mingshu looked at her gently, she knew very well her sister's soft-spoken and soft-hearted temperament, "She is very good, you should be able to play with her."

Seeing that Shen Qingyue didn't take it seriously, Shen Mingshu changed the subject and said, "I'll pick you up after the banquet. A batch of jewelry designs have arrived, so take a look first."

"Okay," Shen Qingyue nodded, and asked: "You didn't come to Zhang's residence today just to talk about this matter with me, did you?"

Shen Mingshu smiled: "I have already made an appointment with my uncle, and I want to ask him something today, don't worry, I won't miss the hour."

Only then did Shen Qingyue feel relieved, just when Zhang Biyu came over to call her, the two had a quick exchange, and Shen Qingyue led Gui Yu and other maidservants out.

Shen Mingshu watched Shen Qingyue leave before heading towards the study. When she reached the door, she knocked lightly on the door, and only then slowly pushed the door open when she heard "Come in."

The old man of the Zhang family was writing a large character. Seeing her come in, he put down his pen and called her over, "Ming Shu, come and see if my handwriting has improved?"

Shen Mingshu lowered his eyes and looked carefully. There was a straight character on the rice paper standing upright. The pen was full of ink and ink, and the strokes were smooth. From the shape of the characters, one could see the character of the elder.

"Just like my uncle is a human being, correct yourself so that you are not afraid of foreign things."

The elder of the Zhang family chuckled, and led her to sit down, and let the boy serve tea, "You said you want to discuss something with me, why don't you talk about it."

Shen Mingshu put down his teacup, and said seriously: "My uncle must have heard about my marriage. I am in the middle of Beijing, and the only elders I can rely on are my grandmother and two uncles. I can only ask my uncle to make decisions about the marriage contract."

The elder of the Zhang family looked at her expression carefully, heaved a long sigh, and said: "I don't agree with this matter, but you have always had an idea, so I can only accept it."

Seeing that he responded, Shen Mingshu showed a faint smile, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is one more thing, now that Qingjia is getting older, and will get married in a few years, I know my grandmother has been worried, so..."

She was about to speak, but she saw the elder of the Zhang family waved his hand to stop her words. The elder of the Zhang family waved his hand and said, "Since Qing Jia is old, you should discuss it with him. This is your own business. How to get others to intervene."

Shen Mingshu had some helplessness on her face, but what the elder of the Zhang family said was also reasonable, so she didn't mention it anymore, and only discussed the details of the marriage with him.

Coming out of Zhang's mansion, Shen Mingshu heaved a sigh of relief. With the elders of the Zhang family around, nothing will happen in the overall situation. What she wants to watch now is what's going on with Mrs. Wang. Fortunately, Lan is with her. With Luo Xin by her side, she can rest assured.

On the other side, in the Luo Mansion, Shen Qingyue's mood was not so good. Mrs. Zhen led her and Zhang Biyu to the Luo Mansion and was welcomed inside.

The banquet was held in the attic next to the plum blossom grove. Looking around, blossoming buds had appeared among the branches of plum blossoms, and some precocious ones had already bloomed with heavy petals.

There were already several wives and ladies sitting on the attic, and they were obviously familiar with Mrs. Zhen. Mrs. Zhen led Shen Qingyue to meet them one by one, and then let Shen Qingyue and Zhang Biyu play with those girls.

In Shen Qingyue's fine attire, even the bu yao in her hair is more gorgeous than others, especially her gorgeous appearance. As soon as she greeted those daughters in Beijing, Shen Qingyue was keenly aware of the attitude of these noble girls in Beijing Somewhat ingenious.

Not all officials and eunuchs have the capital of the Shen family, among them there are many officials who have just risen in recent years, even a hairpin in Shen Qingyue's hair is rare, let alone those who have such capital are not as good as Shen Qing Yue's appearance, so naturally no one wants to talk to her.

Luo Xixiao was one of the organizers of this banquet. The atmosphere was awkward at this time, and she could only come out to say a few vague words. She was wearing a light pink dress today, with a gentle smile on her face, and said: "Shen Please sit down, girl, I have been hearing about the sign of filial piety for Miss Shen, and I finally saw someone today."

Shen Qingyue took a look during the banquet, since others didn't like her, she didn't bother to show their face, so she nodded and sat next to Zhang Biyu, talking to her in a low voice, ignoring others.

Shen Qingyue took a cursory look at the girls present, but felt that few of them were pleasing to the eye, so she asked Zhang Biyu in a low voice, "Is that Luo Xin here?"

Zhang Biyu looked around and shook her head slightly, "She's not here."

Shen Qingyue came here for Luo Xin, when she heard this, she frowned slightly, waved her hand to call Gui Yu, and asked her to go to Madam Zhen's side and whispered a few words, seeing Madam Zhen smiling and nodding at her from afar. Nodding, he stretched his brows and eyes.

The wives present here have seen a lot of excitement in Beijing when they have nothing to do on weekdays, but now they get together and talk about all kinds of interesting things.

Madam Zhen took a sip of her tea and said slowly, "Madam Luo, there is something very interesting in the bustle of central Beijing these days."

Hearing what she said, the other wives showed some subtle expressions on their faces. Mrs. Luo smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that even all the sisters heard about this. It's really embarrassing."

A lady interjected kindly, "Are those things really true? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's really hard to believe."

Mrs. Luo hesitated for a while when she heard this, and said: "I have had people teach her well these days, I just hope that you don't scare the nobles."

As she spoke, she ordered the maid behind her to invite the second young lady to come over. Madam Zhen lowered her eyes and put down the teacup. If she hadn't listened to Shen Mingshu's words, she might not have seen Madam Luo's intentions. She was deeply afraid that others would not know Luo Xin was a Silly.

Conflicts between wives and concubines, concubines and concubines are not uncommon in Beijing, but it is absolutely unacceptable for Mrs. Luo to substitute concubines for wives, and Mrs. Luo's methods are even more contemptible, but a concubine , Can actually play such a trick.

Mrs. Zhen suppressed these thoughts in her heart, watched the servant girl take the order and went away, sat on her seat and drank tea calmly, just took this opportunity to let her take a closer look at this girl's character.
