Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

The old lady gently turned the Buddhist beads carved from fine wood in her hands.

"Wouldn't it be the end of next year's New Year if you wait to meet a young man of the right age? How about this? I'm familiar with the relationships among the families in the capital. My wife and the Marquis asked me to come and discuss with them someday when they are free, so as to settle the second young lady's marriage as soon as possible. As one of the most prominent and wealthy families in Dongxiang, the marriage of our children is a big deal."

Madam Shen replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My daughter-in-law will tell the Marquis that she will come to discuss the marriage with you when she is free, but please rest assured, mother, the Marquis and I will definitely choose a good match for Shen'er."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, turned to Shen Shen and said, "Second Miss, you should also pay more attention to your appearance and figure, and control your eating habits. You will be getting married next year."

Mrs. Shen was already in a bad mood, and her expression became even uglier when she heard her mother-in-law scolding her daughter in public.

Shen Shenshen was also very unhappy, thinking to herself: Old woman, don't you have any idea that I would grow up like this? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? You want to act, right? Sister, I will accompany you to the end.

With a submissive look, she stood up and said to the old lady, "Grandmother, don't worry about it. My marriage will be arranged by you."

Seeing that she was still silly and obedient, the old lady felt that this granddaughter was easy to control, and her attitude towards Madam Shen also calmed down. She nodded to her and said, "Sit down."

Shen Shenshen recalled the conversation between his grandmother and mother and felt depressed: What? It's fine that I can't decide my own marriage, but now I won't let my mother decide, so you, an old woman, have the final say.

Ever since she came here, she has inexplicably liked Madam Shen and liked to be close to this mother. At the same time, she also disliked her grandmother very much, probably because her grandmother was too obviously biased towards the original owner, and the original owner didn't like her, but could still tolerate perfunctory treatment. Now that she knows that the mastermind behind her being drugged and gaining weight may be her grandmother, she has no affection for this old woman at all.

I must find a way to stop the old woman from interfering in my marriage. By the way, the tea incident is a good opportunity to make a fuss. If she did it, I must collect evidence as soon as possible to expose my grandmother's true face.

The key point is, what is her purpose in murdering the legitimate daughter?

Shen Shenshen heard her grandmother's questioning voice: "My eldest daughter, you are going to get married next year. How is the embroidery of your wedding dress?"

Shen Caizi stood up and saluted: "In reply to grandma, the embroidery pieces are basically finished. After they are all embroidered, I will ask the embroiderer to sew them together."

"Yes. Grandma is confident in your work. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the yard to find grandma at any time. Grandma will make the decision for you."

"Thank you for your concern, Grandma."

Shen Shen couldn't help but complain in his heart: Oh my god. Doesn't the eldest sister have a mother? Why are you so long-handed? I finally understand that in name, my mother is the housekeeper, but in reality, this old woman wants to interfere in everything.

Shen Chazi's husband is Li Liangzhi, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, who is three years older than Shen Chazi.

Li Liangzhi belongs to a traditional family. His grandfather was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He was quite talented in writing and had drafted an imperial edict for the late emperor, which earned him the late emperor's trust. His father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Because the Marquis was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, Li Liangzhi had a chance encounter with Shen Chazi when he visited the Marquis' Mansion with his father when he was young. He was obsessed with this eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion who had fair skin, a pretty face, and a calm and gentle personality. The two families had always had a deep friendship. After he became an adult, Li Liangzhi immediately asked his father to come to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage. The parents consulted Shen Chazi's opinion, but unexpectedly, she also had a good impression of Li Liangzhi. After exchanging the Geng Tie, the marriage was settled.

Shen Caizi's marriage went smoothly. Both families were very satisfied with the match and were waiting for the auspicious day of April 9th ​​next year to hold the wedding.

Although Li Liangzhi is a child of an aristocratic family, his family tradition is upright. His father has been strict since he was a child and he is well-read. Three years ago, he participated in the imperial examination and finally fought his way to the joint examination. After passing the joint examination, several good children from aristocratic families teased him and called him Li Jinshi. Because Li Jinshi's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the court, he could see His Majesty at any time. In addition, the Li family had a good reputation among the aristocratic families. As the saying goes, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court, so Li Liangzhi was young and served as the fifth-rank Honglu Temple Shaoqing, which can be said to be young and promising.

The old lady was now caring about her two grandchildren. Especially Shen Chenxiang, the beautiful and intelligent eldest son, who was born good-looking, excellent in schoolwork, sweet and coaxing. All the good genes were in him, and he was perfect without any flaws.

Shen Shenshen often thought that if Shen Chenxiang wanted to, his grandmother would be coaxed into handing over all the house deeds and land deeds to him for care. The existence of such a monster in the Shen family only highlighted his mediocrity in all aspects.

The old lady also reminded everyone that although the weather is hot now, it is autumn after all, so they should not be greedy for coolness. She also told Mrs. Shen to pay more attention to the diet in each courtyard, and to slowly start to take tonic food in autumn, etc. After saying this, she let everyone go.

Everyone walked in silence all the way to the main courtyard gate. The two concubines and two children bowed to Mrs. Shen and then returned to their respective courtyards.

Madam Shen stopped the three children when they were about to say goodbye. "Today, we have stewed pear soup in the courtyard. It is made of the best yellow pears that were sent as tribute from the hometown of Concubine Xu in the palace. Your father had it this morning and said it was good. Just now, mother also said that we need to eat nourishing food to moisten the lungs in autumn. Although we have sent pears to all the courtyards in the mansion, we have some ready-made in my courtyard. Come in and have a bowl before you go back."

Mrs. Shen obviously had something to say to her three children. Everyone followed Mrs. Shen into the main courtyard. Her personal maid Ban Xing had already prepared a serving of small pear soup for each person and placed it on the table. It was just the right temperature. The three of them sat down and started drinking the pear soup.

Madam Shen sat down in the main seat and said, "Shen'er, I discussed your marriage with your father last night."

The three of them were all stunned, especially Shen Shenshen, who quickly put down the soup spoon and turned to look at his mother. It turned out that drinking soup was a small matter, but talking about one's marriage was the real matter.

Madam Shen continued, "You three are grown up now. It is not necessarily a good thing to keep everything hidden from you. You will not know anything after you get married, and it is inevitable that you will give villains the opportunity to instigate or gossip. It will cause unrest in the family and allow others to gain an advantage. In the future, the Marquis will try to tell you more about the affairs of the court. Of course, you must also be able to analyze and judge the pros and cons, have your own ideas, and not just believe what others say and let others manipulate you at will. The young men and women of our Marquis' Mansion cannot be stupid."

The three of them nodded in unison, waiting for their mother's next words.

Madam Shen then asked, "Shen'er, do you like Ziyuan?"

Shen Shenshen didn't expect her mother to be so straightforward, and was a little surprised when she said, "Mother, I can't say I like him. I just think Ziyuan is good-looking."
