happy match

Empress Gu said with a smile: "Speaking of this person, my sister-in-law should have heard of it. It is Shen Chang'an, the eldest son of the mighty general Shen Ming, Mr. Shen."

Shen Changan?

Mrs. Zheng was taken aback, and a series of gossip about Shen Changan quickly flashed through her mind, her brows furrowed unconsciously.Although she had never seen what Shen Changan looked like, she had heard a lot about Shen Changan.

This Shen Chang'an, who lost his mother when he was young, was aggressive and aggressive, and often got into fights with a few noble boys.Anyone who mentioned him would shake his head and sigh.Later, after entering the barracks, I heard that he was quite peaceful.It just happened to be broken again.How could she agree to marry her daughter to such a vulgar warrior?

Empress Gu had a good idea, she clearly took a fancy to the military power in Shen Ming's hands, and wanted to use Gu Xiyu to win over Shen's power...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng smiled tactfully: "To be favored by the empress, this Shen Chang'an must have something extraordinary. However, Yu'er is still young, it seems a bit early to consider marriage..."

"13 years old is not too young." Queen Gu took over the words with a smile: "Even if the marriage is settled, it will take a year and a half just to prepare the dowry. If sister-in-law wants to keep Yu'er by my side for two more years, you might as well first Marriage is settled."

Mrs. Zheng naturally would not agree, and replied vaguely: "This is not a trivial matter. It's not too late to reply to the empress after going back to discuss it."

Empress Gu's eyes flickered slightly: "There are hundreds of daughters in a family, so it's right for sister-in-law to think about it carefully. Even so, I ask sister-in-law to tell elder brother about this and discuss it with him. As for parents. And ask my sister-in-law to say something."

Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded by the door.A tall young man walked in. This young man had dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was full of energy.It's a pity that there is an inch-long scar on his face, although it is not hideous, it also loses a bit of handsomeness.

Mrs. Zheng's heart moved, could it be that this young man is Shen Chang'an?

The young man bowed his hands to greet Queen Gu: "My humble minister, Shen Changan. I have seen the queen."

Empress Gu smiled kindly and said: "Shen Shen will be free soon, just sit down and talk." Shen Changan was the most impatient with these cumbersome etiquettes in his life, but the one in front of him was the queen of the Western Song Dynasty, no matter how impatient he was, I also had to restrain my temper and thank you, and then sat down on the other side of Queen Gu.It happened that I sat face to face with Mrs. Zheng.

strangeness.Why did the woman across from him keep looking at him with strange eyes?

Shen Changan muttered inwardly.But Queen Gu said with a smile: "General Shen, this is the wife of the eldest son of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and also my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Dingguo, the eldest son?Queen Gu's sister-in-law?

Shen Changan was dizzy from such a long list of titles, and when he realized the identity of the other party, he immediately respected him a lot: "I have met Mrs. Shizi!" It turned out to be Gu Xiyu's mother, so wouldn't that be his future mother-in-law?

Madam Zheng smiled and nodded.

Queen Gu really came prepared!He first called her over to mention the marriage.Then he asked Nv Yue to bring Shen Changan over.Obviously, he wanted to take the opportunity to make her look at Shen Chang'an.

Although she knew Queen Gu's intentions, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but pay attention to Shen Changan's every move.As a general.Having been in the military camp for a long time, Shen Changan naturally did not have the demeanor of a scholar, and his speech was also a bit blunt.However, she didn't want to be as vulgar as she imagined.

Leaving aside the age difference, Shen Changan doesn't look like that kind of gentle and considerate man.Can he have the patience to tolerate Gu Xiyu's silence and withdrawal?

Mrs. Zheng was thinking silently in her heart, with a gentle smile on her face, she took the initiative to ask: "I wonder how old Shen Shen will be this year?"

Shen Changan's spirit lifted.Lang Sheng replied: "I just passed my birthday last month, exactly [-] years old."

The future mother-in-law took the initiative to ask him this.It seems that the first impression of him must be good.Shen Changan thought happily, and grinned unconsciously.

Why is he laughing stupidly?Mrs. Zheng frowned invisibly, and immediately opened it up, tentatively probing: "General Shen Shen is really young and promising. I don't know if we have engaged in a marriage."

Shen Changan immediately smiled and said, "That's not true."

However, according to this posture, he should be marrying a wife soon!Shen Changan thought happily.

Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Why is this?" Even if Shen Chang'an had a scar on his face, it is impossible for him not to be able to marry a wife. There must be some reason for it!

Shen Changan was determined to show off in front of Mrs. Zheng, so he hurriedly puffed up his chest and responded, "My father hired a matchmaker to handle the marriage for me, but I kicked them all out. I don't want to do it casually." To get married, at least I have to find someone I like."

……

Empress Gu coughed lightly and glanced at Shen Changan.It’s not okay to say something, and what to do if you beat someone or not.Didn't Mrs. Zheng's complexion look very ugly?

Shen Chang'an finally realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly made amends: "Actually, I have a very good temper, and I seldom do anything." Generally speaking, he can scare the other party into speechless by staring at the other party with a straight face. up.

What is 300 taels of no silver here?That's it.

Madam Zheng twitched the corners of her lips, and casually echoed a few words, but there was not much smile in her eyes.However, even if she is a shrewd and sophisticated lady from a famous family, even if she is unhappy in her heart, she is still very easy-going and polite.

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's behavior like this, Shen Chang'an mistakenly thought that Mrs. Zheng was very satisfied with him, and felt elated.Naturally, he told some interesting stories about himself in the military camp on weekdays.He didn't know that the "interesting things" he said, such as beating up people who were usually disliked during training, seemed vulgar and vulgar in the eyes of aristocratic women who were reserved and elegant in everything.

Mrs. Zheng's smile gradually faded to nothing, and she made up her mind, no matter what, she can't marry her precious daughter to such a vulgar warrior!

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's reaction like this, Queen Gu secretly thought something was wrong.Letting Mrs. Zheng see Shen Chang'an with her own eyes was a temporary solution she came up with.I thought that the handsome and heroic Shen Chang'an could reverse Mrs. Zheng's prejudice, but now it seems that it is completely counterproductive!

Empress Gu coughed, interrupting Shen Changan's eloquence: "General Shen Shen must have something else to do, you might as well step down first." The longer you stay, the more you talk, the worse it will be.

Shen Chang'an replied without thinking: "I have nothing else to do, just stay here and talk to Mrs. Shizi."

……

Queen Gu secretly gritted her teeth, thinking angrily.If she had a daughter, she would never be able to marry such a vulgar warrior like Shen Changan who doesn't know how to act on people's faces!

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Queen Gu, who had a slightly gloomy complexion, and felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. She deliberately smiled and said, "Yes, let General Shen Shen stay and talk with us. I also think General Shen Shen speaks very well. 'Interesting' too!"

Is this the good match Queen Gu kept talking about?snort!

How could Empress Gu fail to hear the subtle sarcasm in the words?Immediately there was another surge of qi and blood.However, Shen Changan, who was so angry that no one deserves his life, said with great interest: "Mrs. Shizi likes to listen so much, then I will tell you a few more interesting things."

……

Empress Gu felt like vomiting blood.After a good meeting, how did it become like this? !

"General Shen," Queen Gu tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "I still have some personal things to say to Mrs. Shizi, you should step back first!"

No matter how careless Shen Changan was, he could still understand this disguised order to chase away guests, and he responded reluctantly.Before leaving, he said to Mrs. Zheng courteously: "Mrs. Shizi, Xinian and I are old acquaintances. We will visit you some other day!"

Mrs. Zheng should not, should not and should not, simply smiled.

After Shen Changan retreated, Empress Gu and Mrs. Zheng almost unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.Talking to a vulgar warrior is really... I don't know how to describe it!

Mrs. Zheng didn't say a word, she just sat quietly at the side, waiting for Queen Gu to speak.

Empress Gu coughed and said with a smile: "Shen Chang'an was born in a family of military generals, so he can't help but be straightforward. However, straightforward people are much better than those villains who speak honey and have swords, don't you think?"

Mrs. Zheng smiled faintly, and said casually: "What the empress said is absolutely true." To be honest, she didn't think Shen Changan was bad.However, it is impossible for her to let such a man marry her precious daughter!

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's indifferent expression, Queen Gu knew that today's effort was basically wasted, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly.But he said with a smile: "In this case, please go back and discuss with elder brother and the others. It will not be too late to reply to me in a few days."

Mrs. Zheng responded respectfully.This respect is only because of Queen Gu's status, and it does not mean that she will act according to Queen Gu's wishes.She would not let her precious daughter become a tool to win over the forces of the Shen family.

Seeing her like this, Queen Gu didn't have anything to say, she took advantage of the situation and got up and said, "We've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back."

Mrs. Zheng wished she could leave sooner, so she nodded with a smile on hearing this.

At the time of You, all the people in Dingguo's mansion bid farewell to Queen Gu.A group of people got into the carriage and returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

This day, no matter who it is, is exhausting.After returning to the mansion, they each went back to the yard to rest.Mrs. Zheng was full of thoughts, her brows were furrowed.

Gu Hong saw that her complexion was not right, and he was secretly surprised: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" It was just a trip to the palace, and it was not a rare thing for her, so how could she have such a reaction.

Mrs. Zheng didn't answer this question in a timely manner. Instead, she dismissed all the servants first, and then said seriously: "I do have something very important to discuss with you."

Seeing her being so cautious, Gu Hong became even more surprised, and couldn't help listening attentively. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
