Mrs. Shen has dealt with noble ladies in Beijing for so many years, and there are not many who can get along with them. Mrs. Chen is one of them. The two have similar personalities and they get along quite well. affect the relationship between the two.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's serious expression, Mrs. Shen also became curious.

She sat beside Mrs. Chen, and asked with great interest: "What's the matter, it seems that it's not a trivial matter from your appearance."

Without further ado, Mrs. Chen took the box from the mother-in-law and placed it in front of Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was taken aback: "This is you?"

"For you." Mrs. Chen said.

Madam Shen's graceful face flashed a look of wariness: "If you have nothing to show courtesy, you can give me gifts if you have nothing to do, and if you have something to say, just say it."

This made her feel furious.

Seeing her cautious appearance, Mrs. Chen was annoyed, she didn't force it, and said instead: "I came today to talk to Pin'er. By the way, Pin'er hasn't made an appointment yet."

Whether you have it or not, you have to ask.

Mrs. Shen immediately got excited when she heard this: "No, which son are you talking about? Could it be your youngest son."

She was talking about the second child, Chen Shu'an.

"It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I mentioned this to Pin'er earlier, but she flatly rejected her. She doesn't like me as a mother and she can't force it, right?" Mrs. Shen looked slightly Explained with a touch of flattery.

Mrs. Chen didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

But seeing Mrs. Shen's careful explanation, she couldn't get angry.

"It's not Shu'an, it's Zhuangyuan Lang Qiao Yuan'an." Mrs. Chen gave her a helpless look and said with a light smile.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen was relieved.

She is sincerely on good terms with Mrs. Chen, if people feel resentment because of their children's marriage, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Qiao Zhuangyuan is not bad, but the family background of the Qiao family is a bit low." Mrs. Shen thought for a while and commented objectively.

Their Shen family is a century-old family, and the general holds a heavy army and is highly regarded by the emperor. The number one scholar is indeed good, but the Qiao family is a merchant, and she still hopes that her daughter will marry a son of a well-matched family.

Mrs. Chen took a sip of tea slowly, and was not in a hurry when listening to Mrs. Shen's words.

The Shen family is a well-known family, so they will have their own considerations, not everyone is rushing to have the number one scholar as their son-in-law.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, at least ask Pin'er what she means." Mrs. Chen said: "The Shen family is already prominent enough, so there is no need to plan for your daughter's marriage."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement.

In the matter of hiring a child, the first thing she considers as a mother is whether her daughter likes it or not, and everything else can be left behind.

I have only such a pair of children, if the general wants to marry someone, there are plenty of concubines in the mansion who can marry.

"So, this character must be good. The Qiao family used to be a merchant. Since Qiao Yuan'an won the first prize, this eyebrow has changed. I heard that the youngest son went to Changcheng to support this time. It seems that he may join the army in the future. Lu Zi, the sons of the Qiao family are both educated and military, if you don’t look at them, who knows what it will be like in ten years’ time.”

"Not to mention anything else, my master likes Qiao Zhuangyuan very much. The praise he spends every day and every day will make him take care of training. His future achievements will be immeasurable. Let's be honest, if a family wants to be prosperous for a long time, it depends on It's useless to be an official in the court. There are many important officials in the court, and their life is not as good as a small official. Isn't it just that they have no money. The boss of the Qiao family is a good businessman. He has become a big family in the capital after only two years in Beijing. With him behind him With support, coupled with Qiao Yuanan's own talent and ability, I believe he will be able to soar into the sky in a short time. Besides, the Qiao family is not without connections. The only daughter of the Qiao family is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Industry. The head of the family has a close relationship with Lu Xiang. I don’t need to say more about how much the empress likes Lu Xiang. Not long ago, An Guogong recognized Lu Xiang as his righteous daughter. The Duke's Mansion is related to relatives."

"More importantly, the Qiao family has a good family style. According to the ancestors' rules, the men of the Qiao family are not allowed to take concubines unless they have no sons at forty, let alone I don't want you. Many families in the capital are staring at you because of this reason. As for Qiao Yuan'an, if Mrs. Qiao hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come to you to mention this marriage."

Mrs. Shen's eyes changed a few times following Mrs. Chen's words.

I didn't feel disgusted at all, but after listening to her analysis, I immediately felt that if this daughter could enter Qiao's house, her life would definitely be comfortable.

The last sentence was more like a hook, which made Mrs. Shen feel itchy.

The Qiao family still has such rules?
"Mrs. Qiao likes to hire me. What about Qiao Yuan'an?" Mrs. Shen asked.

If Qiao Yuanan disagreed, everything she said would be nonsense. She didn't want her daughter to marry someone who didn't like her.

Mrs. Chen smiled and gave her a close look: "The one who really likes your daughter is Zhuangyuan Lang. He was afraid that it would be abrupt to ask someone to come to your door to say goodbye, so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to ask me to be a matchmaker. I thought this would be a good marriage. , this is not coming."

After Madam Shen listened, a look of satisfaction appeared between her brows.

The Qiao family is quite considerate in doing things.

"Hearing what you said, I think it's pretty good, but in the end, my family's Pin'er likes it. When I ask Pin'er, I will reply to you in two days." Mrs. Shen said.

Mrs. Chen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will wait for you for two days."

……

After Mrs. Chen left, Mrs. Shen immediately went to the backyard to look for Shen Pin.

"Mother." Shen Pin saluted and called out: "Hong Ling, serve tea."

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, pulled Shen Pin to sit down and said: "Don't worry about it, mother has business with you."

"What's the matter?" Shen Pin blinked and asked.

Mrs. Shen pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Chen came just now and mentioned your marriage to me..."

"What kind of marriage, my daughter won't marry." Shen Pin didn't wait for Mrs. Shen to finish speaking, and refused with a calm face.

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter helplessly and dotingly: "What's the matter with you child, you get angry when you mention marriage, how old are you, maybe you still want to be an old girl."

Shen Pin snorted: "When an old girl is an old girl, will mother despise my daughter for being old and drive me away?"

She didn't meet anyone she wanted to marry before, so she didn't want to marry herself blindly.

Later, I met Qiao Yuan'an, and I didn't want to marry someone else.

"I really want to." Madam Shen poked Shen Pin's head and smiled angrily.

Shen Pin turned to the side and smiled, and then wrapped himself around Mrs. Shen with a smile: "Mother, don't worry about me, you should worry about your elder brother's marriage if you have the time."

Mrs. Shen said: "You don't need me to worry about your elder brother. I'd better worry about you. I also went to see the number one scholar parading the streets. The second son of the Qiao family is also a good-looking talent no worse than Tan Hualang, and he loves you..."
