pet marriage

When Mrs. Wang came to the main hall, she saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the bottom with a young man dressed as a scholar. The middle-aged woman was dressed very ordinaryly. It was Zheng Shi, the widow of her concubine brother. He was a little anxious while waiting, but the young scholar got his own fun, and looked at the maid who poured tea for him with a smile.

Wang Shi kept this scene in her eyes and disdain Wang Hengliang even more, but it is this kind of talent who can control it better. With a smile on her face, she stepped into the main hall.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly pulled her son up to say hello. Her husband died of illness in the early years, and she raised her son alone. Finally, she reached the age of imperial examinations. Naturally, she had to take care of the relationship between Beijing and China. Unfortunately, although the Wang family had high-ranking officials in the court in the early years, the affairs of the world Impermanence, now there is only a son-in-law with a foreign surname left.

Although her husband was only a concubine back then, and his relationship with Wang was not close, Zheng could only take the initiative to curry favor with Wang for her son's imperial examination path. She greeted Wang with a flattering smile, "All these years No, the eldest girl still looks the same as before."

Mrs. Wang smiled, and her tone was slightly affectionate, "Sister-in-law was joking, Heng Liang has grown so old in the blink of an eye after so many years."

Wang Hengliang stood up to greet him, "My nephew has seen my aunt."

He has a handsome face, but it's a pity that the flirtatious and frivolous between his brows has passed away. Mrs. Wang has also heard about this nephew's situation. He is a little clever but it won't be of great use, but he is still needed now , then smiled and let him sit down.

The abacus in the minds of these two people was really seen in Wang's eyes. After chatting for a while, they talked about Wang Hengliang's imperial examination. Being an official is a capable person, and Heng Liang will have to rely on him a lot as an official in the court in the future."

Mrs. Wang smiled, stroked her temples, and said lightly: "Naturally, but getting a family and starting a business means that it is easy to start a business after getting married. I think Heng Liang is getting old, so I wonder what plans my sister-in-law has?"

Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and she was overjoyed. Could it be that Mrs. Wang wants to arrange a marriage for her son?If Heng Liang can get a noble daughter from the capital, then this status will rise to the top. In the future, only those who enter the officialdom will be smooth. How can anyone dare to look down on them? Wang Hengliang's eyes are also bright, staring at Wang Shi.

Mrs. Zheng said quickly: "Not yet! Madam, did you make some plans for Hengliang?"

Taking their reactions into consideration, Mrs. Wang smiled gently and said, "Sister-in-law also knows that although Heng Liang has good knowledge, it's hard to say in this capital. After all, apart from knowledge, he also has to look at his family." She paused for a while, seeing Zheng's uneasy face, smiled again, and said: "Actually, this is also for my own plan, so I will speak directly with my sister-in-law."

Wang said lightly: "Sister-in-law also knows that there are two young ladies in my mansion, and the second young lady is from a concubine's room, and her mind...is a little lacking. If she stays in the mansion, there will inevitably be some gossip, and it will be hard for me. "

She had a look of embarrassment on her face, which made Zheng's heart skip a beat, she had already heard about the reputation of this second lady when she first came to Beijing, how could her son marry such a person?There was some hesitation on his face.

However, Wang Hengliang had his own plans in his heart. He was naturally romantic. If he really married a noble girl, he would be under strict supervision. Who cares so much about outsiders, what's more, using this to curry favor with Mrs. Wang will benefit him a lot.

Having made up his mind, Wang Hengliang took his mother's hand, said a few words in a low voice, and then said, "Auntie wants to marry this second young lady to my nephew?"

Mrs. Wang guessed that Wang Hengliang would definitely agree, so she nodded slightly. Sure enough, she heard Wang Hengliang readily agreed. Mrs. Wang sent someone to send the two of them back, and gave them some good things. .

Thinking of the maidservant of the Shen family who had been guarding by that fool's side, a dark light flashed in Wang's eyes. As long as she lured this maid away, Luo Xin would still be under her control, and Shen Mingshu would suffer from this dark loss. Movement can not be small.

If this matter can be taken down, it doesn't matter if you lose some face. After all, Luo Xin was not brought up by her, but if she didn't control it for a while, who can blame her? Thinking of this, Wang sneered , and ordered the big maid under her hand to fetch some paper notes.

In a few days, the Yangzhou Baian master she sent to invite came to Beijing, and it happened that the wives and ladies from various families whom she had made good friends with were invited to Luo Mansion for a gathering, and the excitement would become even bigger by then.

After the invitations were written one by one, and after the incense had been smoked, Wang ordered his servants to carefully send them to each house. Seeing the maids packing up the paper and pens, Wang sneered, and waited for a good show.

……

In Zhang's mansion, Shen Qingyue was left by the old lady to live in Zhang's mansion, and she stayed with the old lady these days, unlike Shen Qingjia who went out every day.

On this day, Shen Qingyue and Zhang Biyu were accompanying the old lady to listen to books. Mrs. Zhen came in from outside, holding a red invitation card in her hand, and said hello to the old lady, "Old lady, where are you listening to books?"

The old lady nodded with a smile, saw something in her hand, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Madam Zhen smiled, and handed the invitation to the old lady, Shen Qingyue and Zhang Biyu went over to have a look, Madam Zhen said: "This is an invitation from the Luo Mansion, and it is said that there will be a famous Master Baian in Yangzhou in a few days Come here, let's go and have a look."

Madam Zhen looked at Shen Qingyue and smiled kindly, "Bi Yu will go too, Qingyue wants to go together?"

Shen Qingyue thought about it, she has seen most of the famous Baian dim sum chefs in Yangzhou, and she has no interest in them, but that Luo Xin is in Luo Mansion, is it possible to meet him?

While Shen Qingyue hesitated, the old lady said, "Qingyue, go for a stroll with your aunt, and meet the little girls in the capital. It must be exhausting to be around my old woman every day, why don't you go for a walk?" Walk."

The old lady loved Shen Qingyue who lost her mother when she was young, and liked her filial piety, so she naturally took Shen Qingyue's affairs to heart, and bringing Shen Qingyue to this kind of gathering was also to open up her social circle, which was only beneficial.

Zhang Biyu also begged Shen Qingyue to go together, "Qingyue, let's go together, you can also talk with me, I heard that the plum blossoms in Luo Mansion are beautiful, let's go and have a look together."

Shen Qingyue thought for a moment, then nodded, she would always be able to see what Luo Xin looked like.
