I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 7 Marriage
The old man Wan Sheng was in a low mood. Since he took off his armor, his title has been passed on to his eldest son, and his official position with real power has also been resigned. Now he has a vacant position in the court. He is free, but it is really boring. .

Now there is not even one person in the mansion who can fight with him, this day is really lonely like a long night.

"You said you met water bandits last night?"

Wan Jinlan nodded, and then vividly talked about what happened last night.

Although the old man doesn't have to go to court, he can be regarded as "at home", but he is still clear about some things in the court.

Seeing the way her granddaughter raised her eyebrows and eyes when she spoke, her previously depressed mood improved a bit.

"Grandpa, the third prince is here, and someone from His Highness Qi Wang wants to ask Miss about what happened last night."

Wan Jinlan bowed to her grandfather, "Grandfather, I will come as soon as I go."

Wan Sheng nodded.

When Xiao Minghuan arrived at the martial arts arena, he didn't see Wan Jinlan, and he was still a little surprised, shouldn't she be here?

Wan Sheng pretended not to see his gaze, and asked, "Why are you here today?"

Xiao Minghuan said with a respectful yet friendly smile: "When I heard that my aunt and cousin Lan came back, I brought some seafood from the river. I remember that my second cousin loves to eat crabs. It's not easy to eat river seafood in Southwest China. The second cousin must be thinking about it."

"You have a heart."

A slight polite smile appeared on Wan Sheng's face, which made Xiao Minghuan feel better.

"Grandfather is practicing martial arts, how about I accompany you to practice for a while?"

Wan Sheng shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "No, I'm getting old, and I can't bear to swing a long knife for a while."

Xiao Minghuan flattered: "What did my grandfather say? You have been a soldier for half your life, and now your body is still strong. Even if you go to the battlefield again, you can continue to make outstanding military exploits. You can't even flatter a horse like me."

When Wan Sheng heard this, he wanted to scratch his ears.

The granddaughter flattered the cheap grandson, and whatever the granddaughter said, he thought it was better than the cheap grandson.

It can be considered that this cheap grandson has self-knowledge, just like him, his granddaughters pick ten one by one.

In the past, no one practiced with him, and the cheap grandson recommended himself. The two only played against each other, and he found out how much he weighed. The cheap grandson was just an embroidered pillow.During the battle, he still had to be cautious, in case of a miss, he would hit the person well or badly.

Forget it, forget it.

He can't afford to fight the dragon's son and phoenix grandson.

After Wan Jinlan and King Qi's subordinates finished talking about last night's situation, they went back to Yilan Courtyard, changed their clothes and went to see their own mother.

Shen Qing's body is really weak, and she didn't even have lunch.

As the mother and daughter talked, time slipped through their fingers.

When dinner was approaching in the evening, Shen Qing still got up and changed into a set of clothes, and together with Wan Jinlan went to the hall where the big family had dinner.

Although Zhen Guogong and Wan Jinlan's eldest brother Wan Muxing and second uncle Wanfeng are in the southwest, they should have a reunion dinner today, so Shen Qing's body is not comfortable, so he still made it out.

Besides, the old lady was dissatisfied with the fact that Shen Qing was from a merchant. Over the years, although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has eased a lot, Shen Qing still didn't want the old lady to think that she was a weak person who would only spoil the fun.

The dining hall is very large, divided into two parts by a rosewood frame screen painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects.

The female relatives sat in the middle, and the men sat outside.

Both sides can speak clearly.

Xiao Minghuan was also here today, so no one spoke during the meal.

There was no talking when eating or sleeping. In the past, no one talked when eating, but today it was especially quiet.

The capital is surrounded by eight waters, so river fresh food is not a rare thing, and it can be eaten normally. Wan Jinlan likes to eat crab roe. The crab on the table is not small in size, but the crab roe is not full, and the taste is so-so .

After eating, Xiao Minghuan went into the old man's study on the grounds that he wanted to consult the old man about court affairs.

Shen Qing was called by the old lady to stroll around the garden.

"Mother has something to say?"

Shen Qing supported the old lady, eating and drinking in the lush garden.

"The girl from the Pei family is less than a year away, and the filial piety will be over, and Da Lang will be able to get married."

The girl from the Pei family had a marriage contract with Wan Muxing. Unfortunately, Pei Zhiheng's father died of a heart attack two years ago, and it took another three years.

"Zhijing is not young anymore. When it comes time to meet each other, he always says to establish a career before starting a family. I think he is still a child at heart."

When the old lady talked about Wan Zhijing, although she somewhat disliked him for being incomprehensible, she was still satisfied in her heart.

The Shen family was born in a merchant family, so it can be said that the family background of the government is the same as that of the government. At first, she absolutely disagreed.

But Mr. Shen is courageous and able to study. At the time when the northwest was hit by a drought, it was Mr. Shen who took the lead in donating a million taels of silver to the court. As a reward, the court bestowed Mr. Shen with the title of Uncle Yongchang.

This title seems to be bought with silver, but merchants like the Shen family were rare in the Great Wei Dynasty.

The Shen family had a title in no time, and the eldest son insisted on marrying the Shen family, so she could only hold her nose and admit it.

But dissatisfaction with Shen's will not disappear just because she came in and became a daughter-in-law.

But Shen was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and her temperament is gentle and docile. After being trained by her, she can be regarded as a troublemaker. Even if she asked her eldest son to take a concubine, she didn't do anything that would be unworthy of jealousy. Having given birth to two sons and one daughter one after another, Wan Mu behaved steadily, Wan Zhijing had some talent in reading, and Shen could be considered to be able to teach children. Slowly, after all these years, the old lady was satisfied with Shen.

"There's no rush for Zhijing's marriage. It won't be too late next year after Chunwei is out."

The old lady patted the back of Shen Qing's hand.

"Lan Niang will be ready in two more months."

Shen Qing said: "If my mother has a good family, it must be good."

Shen Qing really thinks so, the eldest girl of the second room, the family she married is not bad, although she is not very powerful, but she is more noble, and there is a rule in the man's family that only forty childless people can take concubines.

Shen Qing also hopes that the old lady can order something like that for Lan Niang.With the status of the Duke's family, her daughter will not suffer a loss wherever she marries.

Hearing what Shen Qing said, the old lady felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was as knowledgeable and interesting as ever.

"The Holy Majesty recorded the third prince under the name of the noble concubine, which shows the importance he attaches to the noble concubine and our government."

Although the old lady didn't make it clear, Shen Qing understood what she meant.

This, she disagrees!
Although the prince and concubine are tall and high, how can there be a prince who does not take concubines and lives alone.How could her daughter suffer such grievances.

In recent years, the empress and Concubine Chen Shu in the palace have been in a state of extreme conflict, and even the royal family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion and the Chen family are fighting like black-eyed chickens.

Although the third prince was recorded under the name of the noble concubine, in the past few years, the Wan family has not been particularly close to the third prince, and has not been involved in the affairs of the eldest prince and the second prince.

The mother-in-law suddenly had this idea, what did she want to do?
