pet marriage

Chapter 48

Rong Min acted very quickly, after he said that day, he searched for someone to calculate his birthday, a match made in heaven, and went to meet Shen's father at the hot spring village outside the city in person, and then invited the most famous matchmaker in Yangzhou to come to propose marriage.

Shen Qingjia hangs out with Zhang Xiulang and Wei Xuan these days and stays at home for a short time, and she didn't know about it until the matchmaker came to the door.

He was in a hurry to go home, Zhang Xiulang went back together with him, when he arrived at the door, he saw a carriage parked at the door, Shen Qingyue was getting off the carriage.

She is wearing lavender clothes today, her long hair is pulled up in a light bun, and her eyebrows are delicate and agile.

Zhang Xiulang's eyes lit up, and he saw Shen Qingjia walking over quickly with a smile.

Although there was no smile on Shen Qingyue's face, Shen Qingjia could still see that she was in a good mood. He knew something about Qingyue's thoughts, and he must be extremely happy now that things have come to fruition.

Shen Qingjia shouted from far away, causing Shen Qingyue, Gui Yu and others to look over.

Shen Qingyue turned her head sideways, saw him, slightly raised the corners of her lips, then quickly pressed them down, and waited for Shen Qingjia to come to the front before softly annoyed: "Fortunately, you still know how to come back."

Shen Qingjia chuckled and said, "As soon as I heard about you and sister Rong Min, I ran back to find you, congratulations."

Just as Shen Qingyue was about to say something, she saw Zhang Xiulang walking over, slightly curtseying, "Cousin."

Zhang Xiulang cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile: "I heard that my cousin is not feeling well these days, is she better now?"

The corners of Shen Qingyue's lips twitched politely, and she replied: "Cousin Lao is worried, it's over."

"That's good." Zhang Xiulang patted the fan in his hand, looked at Shen Qingyue slightly, thinking that the arrogant little girl before had become more and more beautiful.

When he was in the capital, he didn't meet Shen Qingyue very often, but now seeing Shen Qingyue's well-dressed appearance, he felt a little distracted.

Although there were some subtle thoughts in his heart, Zhang Xiulang still smiled slightly, listening to Shen Qingjia and Shen Qingyue's conversation, but his eyes glanced at Shen Qingyue from time to time.

Shen Qingyue felt a little awkward, said a few words to Shen Qingjia in a hurry, and went back to her room to rest on the pretext of being tired.

Shen Qingjia watched her leave, the corners of her lips raised slightly, her eyes were bright and happy.

When Shen Qingyue walked away, Shen Qingjia looked back and said to Zhang Xiulang: "I want to go to my eldest sister to ask how the marriage is arranged, can my cousin go with me?"

Naturally, Zhang Xiulang would not refuse, and immediately agreed.

Shen Qingjia asked a servant, and Shen Mingshu happened to be in the study.

The two walked towards the study room, Zhang Xiulang looked at Shen Qingjia's radiant eyebrows, and asked casually, "By the way, I don't know what will happen to my cousin-in-law's family in the future. I heard that his surname is Rong?"

"Yes," Shen Qingjia nodded with a smile, looked around, but there was no one there, and then said softly: "Cousin, do you know the salt merchants in Yangzhou City?"

"Of course I know that." Zhang Xiulang replied bluntly, the salt merchants in Yangzhou City are a big piece of fat, and the annual benefits make many dignitaries in Beijing envious.

Shen Qingjia narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and said: "The Rong family is the first salt merchant in Yangzhou City."

When Zhang Xiulang heard this, his surprise was obvious. When he heard that this in-law was a sister Qi, he couldn't help but despise him a little bit. It was also a pity for Shen Qingyue, but he didn't expect that there was such a big background.

You know, this salt industry is not something that ordinary merchants can get their hands on, let alone the first job. The Rong family's backer in Beijing is probably not small.

"I wonder if this Rong family is in Beijing..." Zhang Xiulang asked softly.

Shen Qingjia moved closer and said a few words softly, but Zhang Xiulang couldn't help but widen his eyes, he was so surprised that he didn't know there was such a relationship.

Thinking of the importance of that person in front of the Holy One, Zhang Xiulang no longer underestimated that sister Qi whom he had not met, but rather regretted it. If he knew about it earlier, he would have come to make friends with him earlier.

But fortunately, the daughter of the Rong family married Shen Qingyue, and they are also a family. Zhang Xiulang looked at Shen Qingjia's smiling side face, and clicked his tongue in his heart. This kid is also lucky. Who doesn't know that they are twins. Naturally, Shen Qingjia was indispensable.

There were many thoughts in his mind, but Shen Qingjia didn't know about them, the two of them did not slow down, and soon reached the door of the study room, the servants who were serving outside saw them and hurriedly saluted.

Shen Qingjia slightly nodded, then walked to the door of the study room, the door was open, Shen Mingshu was sitting behind the desk, Shen Liqiu was waiting in the room, and the housekeeper was also there.

He gently knocked on the door, Shen Mingshu raised his head, saw him, his expression slowed down slightly, and became indifferent when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Xiulang behind him.

She nodded to signal them to come in, and Shen Qingjia stepped into the study, and asked with a smile: "Eldest sister, are you busy?"

Shen Mingshu nodded slightly, "I'm talking about Qingyue's marriage arrangement, do you want to come and listen?"

Shen Qingjia smiled briskly, and said, "I was just about to ask how to arrange the marriage? Do you need my help?"

Before Shen Mingshu could speak, Zhang Xiulang interjected and said, "Jiadi, what you said is wrong. You are getting old now, and you will be the pillar of the family in a short time. How can such a thing make you feel uncomfortable?" The reason for stealing time, not to mention that you and Qingyue are twins, if you want me to tell you that this matter will naturally have to be arranged by you."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room froze.

The butler was smiling and listening to Shen Qingjia and Shen Mingshu's conversation, but now when he heard the words of the young master of this family, he felt a little delicate.

After returning from Beijing, Shen Li told him about the delicate relationship between the two brothers and sisters. He thought that after returning to Yangzhou, it would be nothing serious, but he didn't expect that when the young master Biao came, there would be another change.

The meaning inside and outside the words was as if the young lady was suppressing the young master and not letting him take care of things. He said that, the young lady originally wanted the young master to take care of things, but he wanted to come here as an exception.

He really thought about it, and looked up at the young lady's expression.

The atmosphere in the room was a little delicate for a while, Shen Liqiu lowered his head, while Shen Qingjia looked at Shen Mingshu with flickering eyes.

Shen Mingshu looked at Shen Qingjia indifferently for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Xiulang at the side, smiled lightly, and said, "My cousin is right, this matter naturally does not give you a chance to take a break, and you are indeed old, since You also have this idea, so Qingyue's marriage can be arranged by you."

She gave the butler a few more instructions, asking him to help Shen Qingjia make arrangements.

The housekeeper bowed in response, this matter was settled, and there was no reason for Shen Qingjia to stay in the study.

Shen Qingjia and Zhang Xiulang withdrew together, just now after Shen Mingshu agreed, Shen Qingjia's expression was a little subtle, as if he was in a daze.

The housekeeper bowed and said, "Master, since the second lady's marriage is arranged by you, why don't I tell you about the current situation?"

The steward shouted, Shen Qingjia was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and quickly nodded in response, "It's only natural."

He turned his head to Zhang Xiulang and asked in embarrassment, "cousin, do you have time to listen to it with me, maybe there is something wrong with my little brother."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiulang patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of this errand properly."

Thinking of Shen Mingshu's expression just now, Zhang Xiulang felt happy in his heart, and this time he will use this opportunity to give Shen Mingshu a hard time.

He smiled and looked at Shen Qingjia who was talking to the housekeeper, now that Shen Qingjia trusted him so much, the benefits in the future would only increase.

After they left, Shen Mingshu hung the pen on the paper and wanted to write something, but she couldn't write until the ink dripped from the tip of the pen.

Shen Mingshu was silent for a moment, put the pen back on the pen stand, got up and left the study, she was originally dealing with the marriage issue, now she doesn't need to worry, and she doesn't need to stay in the study anymore.

She walked out of the study room, the weather outside was fine, Shen Mingshu squinted his eyes to look at the sun, then turned to Qiu Nong and asked, "Where is Madam now?"

Qiu Nong bent his knees and replied, "Madam should be making snacks in the small kitchen."

Shen Mingshu nodded. Ever since Shen's father started teaching Luo Xin how to make snacks, she saw that Luo Xin was really interested, so she specially asked someone to set up a small kitchen in her yard, so as to save herself the inconvenience of staying in the big kitchen.

When she walked outside the small kitchen, she saw Luo Xin's hands were kneading the dough, rubbing and kneading, and the dough was constantly deformed and turned back into a ball under her hands.

Seeing Shen Mingshu, Lan Yin hurriedly saluted, "Miss."

Luo Xin turned her head quickly when she heard the words, smiled at her, and shouted sweetly, "Sister!"

Luo Xin's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible. Looking at Shen Mingshu, her eyes were sparkling, as if they were filled with twinkling stars.

Shen Mingshu met her gaze, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He walked forward, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped away the fine sweat from Luo Xin's forehead. "How long have you been working here? You're all sweating profusely." , take a break."

Luo Xin raised her head to cooperate with her movements, looking at the dough with some embarrassment, it's not easy to give up halfway through kneading the dough, but she had to listen to her sister's words.

Shen Mingshu smiled lightly, stroked her hair, and said, "Go and rest, I'll knead your dough for you."

As she spoke, she pushed Luo Xin to a chair beside her and sat down, rolled up her sleeves, cleaned her hands, and took Luo Xin's place to continue kneading the dough.

Luo Xin sat on a chair beside her and watched quietly for a while. Seeing that her sister's lips seemed a little dry, she couldn't sit still and poured a cup of tea for Shen Mingshu, pressing it against her lips, "Sister, drink some water."

Shen Mingshu was taken aback, smiled at Luo Xin, lowered his head and took a few sips cooperatively, and said, "Thank you."
