Chapter 490 Engagement
Author: Wen Qing
At the end of October, the cool autumn wind blows and the sunshine is warm. It is a rare good weather.
It is advisable to recognize a relative, and it is advisable to make an engagement.
There was an endless stream of guests at Fu Guogong Mansion.
Shen Hua was sitting in front of Mrs. Fu Guogong, smiling so hard that she almost died.
The news that Duke Fu Guo's house had recognized his adopted daughter had spread completely. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits, but privately they were talking about it.
"If I remember correctly, shouldn't Mrs. Shen be the cousin of Yanglinghou Mansion? Why are she related to the Xie family again?"
Mrs. Cheng Bohou felt sad and jealous. Her chest was heaving.
She looked around and remembered that when her son married that bitch, the guests there were not as complete as they are today!!!
"She is so good at it that she has been valued by both houses. Didn't you see that this time everyone from the Cui family came. Even Mrs. Cui, who doesn't go out all year round, also came. The two families had a good chat, and Princess Ruian also came. Do you dare to believe it when you welcome guests at the door of Xie’s house?”
Cui Rong was licking the candied haws. She was dressed in red and looked very beautiful. From time to time, she would say a rare and gentle word: "Please come inside."
But when I see her!
He actually said it with a stinking face.
——"Why do you appear everywhere? You are still there. Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you older than my grandmother?"
When people around her saw her complaining, they just smiled and naturally it was difficult to talk to her.
"A cousin girl is so virtuous and capable. Those who didn't know it thought the two houses were about to get married."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and Ji entered wearing casual clothes.
He spared everyone's greetings and did not go to the main seat. Instead, he went to the empty seat next to Cui Yun and sat down: "Junior, come here to support the occasion. You don't need to be polite. Have you reached an agreement on the marriage between the two houses?"
"I originally thought about granting a marriage, but Ayun refused. After thinking about it, I simply let him go. After all, it is best that the marriage is done naturally. There is a precedent of the late emperor's 'marriage grant', so it is not auspicious after all."
Only then did everyone realize that the Cui family had caused such a big fight because they wanted to marry each other.
Mrs. Cheng Bohou took a breath.
This marriage! She is not very satisfied!!
Looking at the smile that filled the corner of Cui Xuan's mouth, it became more and more dazzling! She rolled her eyes and wanted to roll her eyes to the sky, but she could only comfort herself, at least Xuan Shuyu died as a man.
Everyone gave their blessings and praised Shen Hua to the heavens without hesitation.
Mrs. Cheng Bohou thought that a girl like Shen Hua could only rely on her sharp mouth to open her mouth. She had never seen a big scene. She was afraid that the fox's tail would be raised to the sky and she would not be able to get on the stage.
She was waiting for Shen Hua to make a fool of herself.
However, Shen Hua responded appropriately.
She was so good that few people could resist her. She talked about health care with those highly respected ladies, and then turned around and mentioned educating young children to young women.
What does she know about education!!!
Can a naughty boy still obey her words?
Mrs. Cheng Bohou didn't look any further, turned around on the spot and waved her sleeves to leave. But before she left the Duke Fuguo's mansion, she saw a scene she would never forget.
A group of high-status, manipulated and lawless little carrots were gathering together and making noises. The most conspicuous one among them was the golden grandson of Duke Wen. He warned one person.
——If you cause trouble again, I will let the officials punish you!
Carrot No. 1 has no fear.
——Am I afraid?
Jin Sun turned his head.
——The next time I take the Master's exam, you talk nonsense and don't answer any of the questions correctly. You are ignorant and unlearned and you like to commit crimes. If you cheat again, you will be picked up by a wolf and eaten alive.
Carrot Head No. 2 looked dismissively.
——Who are you trying to scare?
Just then, Cui Rong came over.
Cui Rong raised his chin and told them.
——Be honest, otherwise I will call Shen Hua.
No. 1 and No. 2 immediately hugged each other and cried.
——Uuuuuuuuuuah, so scary.

The elders of Xie and Cui Mansion invited Ji Li to go to the main courtyard to discuss the marriage, leaving Qiao Si and other juniors to greet the guests.
Shen Hua helped Mrs. Cui to the main courtyard. She was interested in listening, but Mrs. Fu Guogong was afraid that the girl would be uncomfortable, so she pushed her away.
The girl slowly glanced at Cui Yun, the old monk who was motionless over there. After noticing Shen Hua's gaze, he raised his eyes and looked over.
She pursed her lips and moved out in small steps.
When I first stepped out of the threshold, I could still hear Cui Xuanshi's gentle voice.
"Brother Yun means that Yangyang is still young, so it's better to stay for a few more years. Qin Tianjian faces the horoscope, so he can still live a good life. The most recent auspicious day is July of the next year, and some are March of the year after that."
"I also think March of the year after next will be better, and July of the following year will be a bit late. Besides, it's hot and it's hard to wear wedding clothes and sit in a wedding sedan."
After Shen Hua walked out, she glanced at the sky. She didn't want to go to the front hall to deal with the guests, so she took a path and walked aimlessly.
Wei Yingying did not come this time and had the baby in the palace. Seven days ago, she was in the small courtyard. She was sulky and had nowhere to vent, so she had to drag Shen Hua and the others around for several nights. She was diagnosed with physical discomfort.
I was one month pregnant at the time.
With signs of miscarriage, Wei Yingying was also frightened.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the uncontrollable crying in front of her.
"Why is the prince about to get married? I am really sad. Since that person is not me, I would rather he die alone than to take advantage of others."
Shen Hua recognized it.
This is the daughter of the Langya Wang family who was re-promoted and returned to Shengjing again.
There were people around her busy trying to comfort her.
"Sister Yu, please don't cry. I think Shen Hua is far inferior to you. She only relies on her face."
Shen Hua, who was in the distance, had no intention of being offended. She even took out a small mirror with satisfaction and was intoxicated with herself.
When Wang Yingyu heard this, she burst into tears.
She sniffed.
"That's not true."
"I think she has great connotation."
Everyone:??
"Why are you saying that! She is very willful and acts arrogantly. The golden grandson of Duke Wen was punished by her not long ago."
Wang Yingyu: "Isn't this a good thing? Jin Sun from Duke Wen's mansion has been very unruly these days. I heard he is also serious in school."
"The person that the prince likes is certainly not bad!"
Her eyes were swollen to walnut kernels, and it was difficult to frown, but she did not forget to say: "There is no need for you to belittle others just to appease me. This is really in poor taste."
Everyone's faces darkened, especially when a chuckle came from behind.
Seeing that it was Shen Hua, several people turned into chattering and found an excuse to leave.
Wang Yingyu took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I can afford it and let it go, and I will never covet the prince again."
She searched hard for a husband who was not married yet, had a similar family background, and was not yet married.
"Now that I think about it, Captain Yuan is also pretty good."
Shen Hua nodded noble and coldly. She didn't want to talk more and turned around to find Xie Yining.
Wang Yingyu also turned around to look for Yuan Shaoqing.
But he didn't want to go round and round, and the two of them would eventually meet again by the small lake.
Both eyes fell on one place.
Not far away, Xie Yining, a well-educated man, stood there, raising his head and looking at Yuan Shaoqing hesitantly, guilty and helpless.
"How are you."
Yuan Shaoqing's eyes were wet, and his face was pale and fragile. The wise man was in a panic at the moment. His clothes were dripping with water, and his black hair was messy.
Chapter completed!
