He suddenly mentioned the marriage, but before that, Xiao would have agreed happily.

Now……

She couldn't help but hesitate.

She had a letter with the Shen family, but was told by her second daughter Yan Yunqi. The Shen family had already learned about Yun Ge's situation and was not very satisfied with Yun Ge.

Even though the Shen family has fallen, they are still very persistent and principled when it comes to marrying their daughter-in-law.

We must let Chen Shuwen marry a virtuous wife who can manage the family.

It's not like Yan Yunge who can cause trouble.

They can't stand it.

Of course, in order to maintain the friendship between the two families, the Shen family said it implicitly in the letter, mainly criticizing Chen Shuwen for his lack of talent and lack of value for Yan Yunge.

Xiao's seven orifices are so delicate that she naturally understands the implication of the Shen family.

Getting married is a good match for two surnames.

If the other party’s parents are unwilling to do so, she will naturally not marry her daughter to suffer.

My daughter Yan Yunge is not bad, so there is no need to stick it on.

She coughed lightly and asked Chen Shuwen, "Have you contacted your family recently? Do you want to get married, what is your family's idea?"

Chen Shuwen bowed slightly, "Reported to my cousin, my family hopes that I can make a decision as soon as possible. Just wait for my cousin to nod, I will discuss with my family that my father and mother will come to the capital to propose marriage."

oh!

Xiao did not comment.

She called Chen Shuwen for tea, and then said slowly, "You have just received a recommendation from a noble person and started your career. My advice is that at this time you should focus on your errands. Your parents will take care of your marriage. They will definitely choose a good marriage for you."

Chen Shuwen is not a fool.

On the contrary, he is smarter than many people.

He heard something was wrong from his cousin's tone.

He was a little confused and asked boldly, "Why are the younger generation acting badly? Will it make my cousin dissatisfied?"

"No! I've always been very satisfied with you."

"Then why... my cousin seemed to have changed his mind?" he asked carefully.

Mrs. Xiao picked up the teacup and covered her embarrassing expression.

It is not a good thing to be too keen on the person you talk to.

She thought for a long time and didn't know how to speak.

In front of Chen Shuwen, he said that his parents were not, which is not appropriate.

Chen Shuwen saw her embarrassment, "Any reason, my cousin can tell me. I can bear it. I want to know the real reason."

Why did the talks were done well before, but when things were about to come, there was another change?

He wants an answer.

Xiao coughed lightly, "Shuwen, have you really asked your parents about their opinions? They agreed to marry Yunge of my family?"

Chen Shuwen suddenly realized something.

"My cousin and my parents passed the letter, and they objected, right?"

Xiao nodded silently.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Yun Ge is my youngest child, and it has been heartbreaking since she was a child. Her temper and personality are very different from most women in aristocratic families, and I can't bear to bear her grievances. Marriage is naturally a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Without the permission of parents, there is no way to talk about the marriage. It was also because I was not considering it at the beginning. I should first ask your family's opinions and then mention this matter to you. Alas, it's all my fault."

"My cousin must not say that. I took it for granted. I did not communicate fully with my parents in advance, so I had a misunderstanding today. It was all my fault, but I was not ready. My cousin just assumed that this was not the case, and just thought I was quitting my farewell."

"It's good that you have no complaints in your heart. I'll stay here for dinner today. Yun Ge goes out to fish in wild, and it's time to come back. You have a good time today and can eat the whole fish banquet made by Yun Ge himself."

Chen Shuwen smiled, but shook his head and refused, "I won't stay for dinner. I also made an appointment with classmates and friends. It's not easy to lose the appointment, please forgive me."

Xiao sighed, "Okay! I won't force you to keep. Are you ready for everything you need to leave Beijing? Let's do this, I'll ask someone to prepare a baggage for you. Don't refuse. This is my wish to be an elder. I hope you can achieve something in your career and have a bright future. Please accept it."

"Thank you for your care over the years! I will definitely repay you if I have the ability in the future."

"If you are going to give it back, I will talk about it later. When you are away, you must take good care of yourself and not be stingy with money. Also, I am not at ease with you without the protection of your guards. I will arrange a few guards to serve you."

"Thank you for your kindness, aunt! I won't need the guards, there are already arrangements for the noble man."

"oh?"

Mrs. Xiao was inexplicably a little lost.

She laughed at herself, "Since someone has arranged everything for you in advance, I won't be busy. If you need it, just speak up."

"Thank you, my cousin! I'm not considering it carefully, please forgive me."

"Don't be so dissatisfied. When you return to Beijing, I'll welcome you."

...

Xiao was a little sad when he saw Chen Shuwen away.

She asked the maid who was serving around her, "Is the Fourth Girl back?"

"Empress, the fourth girl has been back for a long time and said she was going back to her room to rest."

Xiao rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Go and call her. Hey, haven't she cooked today?"

"No! The fourth girl threw the fish she caught in the kitchen and asked the cook to have a whole fish banquet, and the next one was gone."

"She has learned to be lazy today. Call her first."

"yes!"

The maid took the order and left.

The confidant nanny rubbed her shoulders with the right force, which made Xiao feel extremely comfortable.

"Is the Empress worried that Mr. Chen will hold a grudge?"

Xiao shook his head, "It is inevitable that he has not held a grudge, and it is inevitable that he has some emotions in his heart. It is also because I am not considering it carefully, so I hurriedly mentioned this marriage with him, but forgot to ask his parents for advice in advance.

It is natural to think that everyone in the boudoir of this palace likes it. As long as Chen Shuwen agrees to this marriage, his parents will not object. But he forgot that although the Shen family is in decline, the family tradition is still there, and the requirements for their daughter-in-law are naturally different. Alas, I am still taking it for granted."

"Miss I must not say that. It is obvious that the Shen family is not lucky. They only know that they dislike the Fourth Girl's bad temper and personality. Why don't they see how capable the Fourth Girl is? Who can compare with the Fourth Girl when buying such a huge family business by themselves?"

Xiao laughed, "That's it. But the Shen family is not as poor as the daughter-in-law needs to support the family, so naturally they don't care about Yun Ge's industries. Another thing is that they are worried that Yun Ge is too capable and will be too strong when entering the house. I understand their concerns and can understand them. It's just a pity. Shu Wen's child is really good. Alas..."

Xiao was very sorry that Chen Shuwen could not be his son-in-law.

The confidant nanny said, "You don't have to sigh. You will definitely find a good man who is a hundred times better than Mr. Chen in the future. The third wife of the Cui family mentioned by Ling Changzhi last time, I wonder what the Empress wants?"

Xiao was a little hesitant, "The situation in the Cui family is too complicated and too chaotic. The heads of each house are fighting very hard."

The confidant nanny asked, "Is the Empress worried that the fourth girl would be wronged after marrying her? She could not beat the sister-in-law of other housekeepers?"

Xiao nodded and shook his head again, "This is one reason. Also, the Dalang of the third wife of the Cui family is indeed a handsome man, but I heard that there are seven or eight concubines around him. Before he got married, he took a concubine first. Do you think that Yunge's temper can tolerate such things?"

The confidant nanny shook her head repeatedly, "The fourth girl must be unable to help it. If she really wants to get married, she will beat the concubines to sell them the next day of the wedding. Or she will beat the third wife of the Cui family to the bed."

These words made Xiao laugh and cry.

I really don’t know if I should be happy that my daughter is strong and will not be bullied, or if I should be worried that my daughter is too strong and cannot marry a good family.

She reminded her confidant nanny, "Don't say this again. If it is spread, Yun Ge's marriage will become more and more difficult."

"What the Empress is worried about is that in this way, the marriage introduced by Ling Changzhi is not reliable."

"Because he didn't understand Yun Ge. He thought Yun Ge didn't care about those concubines, but he didn't know that Yun Ge was the most domineering person. As long as it was hers, no matter whether it was a person or an object, no one else could touch it without her permission."

"What the Empress said is very much."

Yan Yunge, who was domineering in character, came to the flower hall with a happy look on his face.

"Mother calls me? Where is the Shen family's cousin? Didn't he say he's here?"

"He left again, and he was busy, so he didn't stay for food. He got the recommendation of a noble man and successfully became an official. He would go out of Beijing to work in a few days, so he would say goodbye."

Yan Yunge was a little surprised, "I didn't congratulate him yet, he left! So anxious?"

Xiao opened his mouth and said carefully, "Because he rejected your marriage for his mother, he left so anxious."

I was rejected because of my parents.

Keep staying there will only be more embarrassing.

Xiao could understand Shen Shuwen's mood, so he did not force him to keep him.

Huh?

Yan Yunge looked surprised, "Mother finally figured it out and would not make me and him a couple, thank God."

Xiao angrily said, "You are thankful, but don't think about it. The boss is not young and the marriage is not yet settled. What can I do in the future?"

Yan Yunge was open-minded, "The marriage was not settled, but I don't care anyway."

"Take care for my mother!"

Yan Yunge stuck out his tongue, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to instruct the cook to have an important matter. Mother, I'll go to the kitchen and come to listen to your teachings later."

She found an excuse to escape smoothly.

Xiao couldn't stop him, she couldn't laugh or cry.

"When this child mentioned her marriage, he either hid or said he didn't want to marry. He had no way to deal with her."
