Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Chapter 35 Are you jealous of Yanyan?

Shen Xiuwan was not a stingy person, so she agreed to lend her clothes.

Shen Yanyan moved a small stool and sat down beside her lively.

She also put her hands on the fire pot to heat them, and said with curiosity and envy: "Sister, what is the city of Yanjing like? What is the Fu Mansion like? I want to take the train to visit you, and my mother wants you to search for me in Yanjing. A husband as powerful as my brother-in-law, but neither grandpa nor aunt agree."

She calls her aunt mom and Shen Xiuwan's mother aunt.

Before Shen Xiuwan could speak, Shen Yanyan said regretfully: "It's so easy to survive until my grandfather is dead, and my aunt can't care about my life-long affairs. Unfortunately, I have already agreed that I can't marry to Yanjing like you. I don't know. How does Zhao Qiangsheng compare with my brother-in-law? Dad said that he is already the best man I can choose. Sister, how about Zhao Qiangsheng and I break off the engagement, and you can help me choose a good one in Yanjing."

Aunt Sun stood next to her with a look of approval: "Yes, eldest sister, Yanyan is also your biological sister after all. You can't just worry about marrying into a good family and ignore Yanyan!"

Shen Xiuwan had nothing to say.

Aunt Sun stretched out her hand and pushed her shoulder: "Sister, please tell me something! Aren't you jealous that Yan Yan married better than you after arriving in Yanjing?"

Shen Xiuwan wanted to laugh a little.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the white lanterns and white ribbons hanging in the yard, and I felt like crying again.

The charcoal fire made her eyes dry.

She rubbed her eyes and explained patiently: "It's not that I don't want to help Yanyan, but girls from a family like ours are not suitable to marry into a powerful family. My aunt thinks that I am returning home in fine clothes, but she doesn't know where I am. There are also hard times in this place. It would be better to choose a well-to-do family in the local area and marry her. If the two families know each other well, life will be easier."

She really thought about Shen Yanyan.

Aunt Sun and Shen Yanyan rolled their eyes at the same time.

When Shen Xiuwan got up and entered the room, Aunt Sun murmured behind her: "I think she married well herself, and she didn't want her sister to marry well for fear of being robbed of the limelight! How can there be such an eldest sister in the world, who only cares about You don’t care about your younger brothers and sisters!”

Shen Xiuwan paused slightly, but finally had nothing to say.

……

The next day.

Several rickshaws took Shen Xiuwan and his family to Fenghe Garden.

Zhao Qiangsheng personally greeted him at the door of the restaurant.

He chatted with Shen Zhongyun for a moment, then smiled and said to Shen Xiuwan: "My family is already waiting in the private room upstairs. Sister Wan, you are a distinguished guest today. Come and order."

A group of people went upstairs.

There was a large round table of yellow rosewood that could seat sixteen people in the private room, and seven or eight people from the Zhao family came.

Shen Yanyan pulled on the borrowed white fox fur coat reservedly before greeting the elders of the Zhao family, but found that even though she was dressed grandly and gorgeously, she was still not in the eyes of this group of people.

They were all looking at Shen Xiuwan, as if Shen Xiuwan was the daughter-in-law of their Zhao family.

Zhao Qiangsheng diligently took care of the Shen family members and seated them one by one. He brought menus and handed them to Shen Xiuwan. He also diligently passed cigarettes to the men present. He looked like a new son-in-law.

Shen Zhongyun praised: "Qiang Sheng is a capable person, and he will definitely be promising in the future." Zhao's father smiled and said, "I'm afraid he is far behind compared to the one in Yanjing."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Zhongyun disdainfully said, "The old man in the family passed away, and the man from Yanjing didn't even want to come. He's too proud! What kind of uncle is he? He's obviously a Buddha!"

Aunt Sun then said: "How can there be any family in the world who has nothing to do and why the uncle doesn't come to attend the funeral? I see, the eldest uncle just looks down on our family! The eldest sister also doesn't know how to go to her parents' house these years. Take some benefits and throw away the water that your married daughter has thrown away! From now on, Zhongyun and I will still have to live a strong and prosperous life until we die!"

Father Zhao smiled and did not answer her words.

If it weren't for the Fu family's sake, he wouldn't have been able to get Qiang Sheng and Shen Yanyan engaged.

Shen Yanyan was just born to her aunt, Shen Zhongyun was incompetent, and Shen Yaozu was also a lazy person. If they hadn't been related by marriage to the Fu family, the Shen family embroidery shop would have closed down long ago.

He turned to Shen Xiuwan and asked, "How are Mr. Fu and General Fu doing?"

Although Shen Xiuwan is only a marginal figure in the Fu family, she has attended many banquets in the past few years and knows a little about the conversation at the dinner table. She knows in her heart that the Zhao family wants to join the Fu family.

She said politely: "Thank you for your concern. Both of us are in good health."

"That's good." Father Zhao rubbed the pipe in his hand, "There is something that I feel a little embarrassed to say, but I thought that our two families were going to become in-laws, so I said it here shamelessly."

Shen Xiuwan lowered her head, her eyes falling on the menu, but she couldn't read a word.

She had already guessed what Father Zhao would say.

She regretted coming to today's dinner.

Zhao's father said: "Qiang Sheng has been working as a clerk in the government office for many years. We business people and officials are not the same. I really can't find the relationship to pave the way for him. I thought, since our two families We are going to be the in-laws. I wonder if the third young lady can please say a few nice words for Qiang Sheng in front of the third master? Qiang Sheng's promotion is just a phone call away from the third master."

Shen Xiuwan lowered her eyelashes and touched the menu with her fingertips.

These people thought she was so respectable in Yanjing, but they had no idea that she couldn't speak in front of Jincheng. She didn't even know where her own future was, let alone finding a future for others.

After a long while, she closed the menu and said softly: "I don't know which dishes in this restaurant are more delicious. Since Uncle Zhao is the host today, I'd better ask you to order. I am a junior, so I will eat whatever you order." "

After that, he handed the menu back to Father Zhao.

Father Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Shen Xiuwan meant to refuse.

He took a drag on his pipe, and the smile on his face became more playful.

Mother Zhao immediately said: "Shen Xiuwan, even if you don't think about strength, you should think about your sister. Why, as the eldest sister, can't you help your sister?!"

Aunt Sun didn't understand the conflict between Shen Xiuwan and Zhao's father at first, but when she heard Zhao's mother's words, she immediately understood that Shen Xiuwan was unwilling to help Zhao Qiangsheng get ahead.

Her eyes were red, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and cried: "Sister, as the saying goes, 'One person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.' You married yourself into a wealthy family. Why do you only care about your own enjoyment, but refuse to take our whole family with you?" Enjoy happiness together? It's pitiful that your father is worried about business all day long, and your brother is not good at studying. I don't know what to do in the future! Your sister finally got married, but she just asked you to do a little favor and say it in front of my uncle. You have to push back and forth on a matter of just one sentence! Why are you so selfish?!"

Shen Zhongyun even slapped the table hard: "Damn girl, will you help me with this?!"
