The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Yuhua said, "We can't postpone the wedding. Miss Shi is very strong. She can still sing and dance well even though she is so sick."

The real purpose of Zhao Shuyun's visit this time was to find out about her daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. Now she was very excited. She asked Yuhua: "How is my daughter-in-law? Is Zhang pretty?"

"Jun, she looks a bit like her brother Shi Hongshang. Her greatest strength is that she is very natural and unrestrained. She sings and dances as she is told, without any shyness at all."

Zhao Shuyun had no idea who Shi Hongshang was. As long as she knew that Shi Hongjiao was a good girl, everything would be fine. She praised, "It's good to be generous. We in the Sha family don't like girls who are shy."

"How are the arrangements at home going?" It was Shang Xi who asked the question. She didn't want Yuhua to reveal too many things about Shi Hongjiao to Zhao Shuyun, especially the fact that Shi Hongjiao sang opera at the top of his voice. Let them find out for themselves after they get married. Anyway, the marriage was granted by the emperor. Even if the Sha family was not satisfied with this marriage, they would secretly curse Wan Lianxing, and it had nothing to do with her. She, Shang Xi, was just making a suggestion to Wan Lianxing, and the final decision was still made by Wan Lianxing. Besides, she wanted to push this matter as much as possible because of the pressure from Wan Lianxing. Now that she didn't have the imperial edict on her shoulders, she felt free and comfortable.

Zhao Shuyun smiled and said, "I'm working on it. I've already sent the betrothal gifts to the Shi family this morning."

"So fast!"

"Not any time soon. Counting on my fingers, there are only a few days left. It's already the end of the month. The Shi family is probably even busier than me. I won't say any more. I have to go home and make arrangements."

"Mrs. Sha, just say these few words and then leave! If you have any work, just tell us and Yuhua and I will help you." Shang Xi felt that this person was here for the first time and it was not worth the trip just to say these two words.

Zhao Shuyun said, "I just came to inquire about what my soon-to-be daughter-in-law looks like, but I think the girl the emperor has chosen must be right."

Shang Xi nodded repeatedly. She did not dare to reveal that she had usurped this marriage. She did not know whether it was good or not. She only said seriously, "This is the marriage that the emperor has arranged for your son Sha Yueteng after repeated screening. The main reason is that this girl has many talents. Not only can she sing and dance well, but she is also a girl who is both civil and military. The emperor fell in love with her at first sight. In addition, the old man of the Shi family is the emperor's benefactor, so the emperor particularly values ​​the girls of the Shi family and thinks that only the girls of the Shi family can match your eldest son."

Zhao Shuyun couldn't stop smiling when she heard this, and praised her repeatedly. Regardless of whether Shi Hongjiao was reliable or not, the relationship between the Shi family and the emperor was a good match. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, as soon as Shi Hongjiao got married, the emperor's decree arrived, directly conferring her the title of a third-rank imperial lady.

This title of Lady of Imperial Concubine has a rank, and all of them come with a salary from one to five. It is a symbol of honor and an official title that all women dream of. Although they have no real power, they receive a salary every month. The most amazing thing is that this title is conferred by the emperor himself. Having such a title is like a talisman in the husband's family, and no one dares to provoke her.

Shang Xi was not sure whether Shi Hongjiao served her mother-in-law as Mr. Shi had said after she married into the Sha family, but this girl did help Zhao Shuyun take care of the children. Two days after the marriage, Shang Xi saw Shi Hongjiao taking a maid and holding her sister-in-law to her brother's teahouse.

The Shi family's teahouse can be said to be the best in Fengying City. Most of the people who go there to drink tea are literati, who recite poems and compose couplets together to show off their elegance. Some also go there for the singing and dancing in the teahouse. With singing and dancing to entertain people, there are quite a few people who go to the teahouse.

However, Shang Xi had been to this teahouse only a few times. If she was thirsty, she would find a teahouse to drink a big bowl of tea. If she was hot, she would find a place to drink a bowl of plum soup. Shang Xi could not appreciate such an elegant place. It was just a bowl of tea. She didn't know why there were so many fancy things. It looked good but was useless.

That day, when Shang Xi, Yuhua and Han Nianxia came out to drink plum soup, they were seen by Shi Hongjiao in the teahouse, who came with her maid and her sister-in-law.

When Shang Xi saw the clever little daughter of the Sha family, she couldn't help but reach out and hug her, "Hongjiao, I see you often hold your sister-in-law out to play."

Shi Hongjiao said: "My mother-in-law is young and doesn't need me to take care of her at all. I can only help take care of the child. This child is easy to take care of. He likes to join in the fun. He never cries when he goes out on the street."

"Are you used to life in your husband's family?" Shang Xi couldn't help but want to know about Shi Hongjiao's married life.

"It's a habit. Before I got married, I thought my mother-in-law would be very domineering. After all, this is the general's mansion and my mother-in-law is the general's wife. I was always worried that the rules in the general's mansion would be very strict, but it turned out that the rules are much smaller than those in our Shi family. When I have nothing to do, I will accompany my mother-in-law to drink a few cups, and my mother-in-law is very happy. I just don't know what kind of personality my husband, whom I have never met, has. I hope he doesn't have a stern face all day long. If he does, it will be really depressing!"

Shang Xi thought about the vague memory. Wasn't that Sha Yueteng always had a cold face? Apart from a cold face, Shang Xi seemed to have never seen that person with any other expression. Shang Xi thought about it carefully and thought that this person couldn't be so boring. It must be because the last time they met, Sha Guanghan was trapped and Sha Yueteng was eager to save his father. She said to Shi Hongjiao, "I don't know your husband Sha Yueteng's surname, but he is handsome."

Shi Hongjiao said: "What's the use of being handsome? Look at my brother Shi Hongshang. He's handsome, but he's just idle all day, looking for fun everywhere, and he doesn't do anything serious."

Yuhua put the plum soup in her hand on the table and said, "Your brother is idle all day long, why are you still sticking with him all day long?"

Shi Hongjiao chuckled: "My brother and I are the same. We also like to idle around and have fun everywhere."

Yuhua couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she heard this: "What kind of fun can a woman have? Where is the fun?"

"Of course there is. Listening to music and drinking tea, playing football and polo, admiring flowers and touring the garden, archery and throwing pots, aren't these all fun!"

Yuhua said incredulously: "Most of the things you mentioned are not for girls to play with."

Shi Hongjiao stretched his head forward and said in a familiar voice, "How about we go listen to music together tomorrow? I know a very good place for music."

"You've only been in Fengying for a few days, and you already know which song is the best so quickly!"

"Let me tell you, even though I've only been here for a short time, there's no fun place in Fengying City that I, Shi Hongjiao, don't know about."
