Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 405 Before Marriage
After Lin Jingyuan finished school, he went straight to Shen's residence. He went to Yangzhou twice, and his three cousins, Shen Yi, Shen Zou, and Shen Jun, accompanied him on errands, and they were already familiar with him.

With Jing Yuan joining in, the family dinner became more relaxing and joyful.

After dinner, Xiao Qian had to go back to the palace and bid farewell to everyone.

Lin Yanyan was leaving too, so she called Lin Jingyuan.

Lin Jingyuan said: "The three cousins ​​and I haven't seen each other for a while. Tonight I will stay at my uncle's house and ask them for homework. Your Highness, please send my sister back home!"

Xiao Qian gave him an appreciative look, Jing Yuan is now more and more discerning.

Lin Yanyan saw the winks between the two, but pretended not to see them, and said, "Don't forget the morning class tomorrow."

"Sister, I have a rest tomorrow. I don't go to school. Did you forget? I'll just stay with my uncle for a few days."

Lin Yanyan: Uh...

She has too many things recently, how can she remember such trivial things.

"That's okay, I'll ask Chen Li to bring Ziyi and Xiuxiu over tomorrow, so that uncle and cousin can also meet."

Shen Huaishan said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Lin Mansion to visit, after I'm done, I'll bring Ziyi and Xiuxiu over!"

Lin Yanyan smiled: "Alright."

The Shen family sent them to the gate and escorted His Royal Highness into the carriage. They didn't return to the mansion until the carriage was out of sight.

The second uncle Shen Yue said: "You didn't read the gift list sent by His Royal Highness, did you?"

Third Uncle Shen Shen: "Who has time to watch that."

"You can see a person's attitude from the gift list. Let me tell you that His Royal Highness really loves our Shen family. What I gave to my elder brother is a box of Luozidai, which was a tribute from Persia. Luo Zidai, the quality is far inferior to the tribute, but the price is high, if you want to buy something similar to the tribute, then there is a price but no market..."

Shen Huaishan stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"The third younger brother is given to the jade liquid fine wine collected in the Six Altars Palace. I don't know if it's good or not, but the collection in the palace should be the same."

"I also rewarded Shen Yi and the others with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which is also a good thing."

"What about yours?" Shen Shen asked.

"Hey, mine is a cold mountain post. I have been looking for this post for many years, and then I stopped thinking about it when I heard that the original one was in the palace. I never thought that today I would get it." Shen Yue couldn't help showing off a long time ago, and now The only thing that can make him so excited is the cold mountain post that he couldn't ask for.

Shen Shen murmured: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Yan Yan or Jing Yuan, and the gifts he gave were all of your liking, and he really had a heart."

On the carriage, Xiao Qian was also talking to Yan Yan about Shen Yi and the others.

"Your cousins ​​are all extraordinary in speech and behavior. I asked, and their knowledge is also quite good. Why don't they go to the examination for fame?" Xiao Qian asked doubts in his heart. The court has greatly improved, but the family of merchants, no matter how rich they are, their status is not as good as that of scholars.

Lin Yanyan thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because I feel more comfortable doing business than being an official!"

The children of the Shen family have received good education since they were young, and both male and female children of the Shen family are outstanding in their studies.But the Shen family never allowed the Shen family members to take the imperial examinations or pursue official careers, and she didn't know the specific reasons, so it's just her conjecture to say it freely.

Xiao Qian thought before that he wanted to promote the Shen family because he wanted to give the Shen family a favor, but now it seems that the Shen family is willing to send someone out to give him face.

Since all the people have been sent here, he has to make good use of them.

The next day, the three uncles of the Shen family visited the old lady and asked how the marriage was going. The old lady didn't know what to do, and they all blamed Zhou Shi, who almost burst into tears.

Lin Yanyan said: "Uncle, my grandmother is getting old and not in good health, and my third aunt wants to arrange the marriage of my cousin and my cousin. I have no skills at all. I told my third aunt that I will arrange my own marriage." .”

Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Yanyan gratefully. Fortunately, Yanyan is an honest child, otherwise she would have no place to put her face. Speaking of which, she is the mistress of the Lin family, but she is really limited in her abilities. She has always had ideas and skills, and Yan Yan said she could handle it herself, so she went along with it. Now that the Shen family asked her, she felt so ashamed that she was not a good third aunt.

The old lady coughed a few times cooperatively and made a somewhat uncomfortable appearance to prove that she was indeed in poor health.

Shen Yue said: "There is no reason for a woman who has not left the cabinet to arrange her own marriage."

Shen Shen echoed: "I've never heard of it."

Shen Huaishan pondered and said: "Old Madam, since the Lin family has no suitable person to help Yan Yan with the marriage, it is better to let the Shen family handle it. After all, Yan Yan is marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This wedding is highly anticipated, and there must be no mistakes. It will be more honorable. The Shen family came to handle it, and Yan Yan's dowry was paid by the Shen family, of course, it was said that the Shen and Lin families jointly handled it."

The old lady was delighted, it was the best, it not only saved the dowry money, but also gained face.

The old lady pretended to apologize: "Hey, poor Yanyan lost her parents, my grandmother is not healthy, the second room is still in filial piety, there is no hope, and the third room is also planning a wedding... I am really worried, she Uncle, Yanyan's marriage will be a work for you, just talk about what needs our cooperation."

Shen Huaishan hehe: "The old lady doesn't need to blame herself, then...the matter is settled like this."

The reason why he came here today is to take care of the marriage in a legitimate way, so that the Lin family won't gossip again when the time comes.

With the participation of the Shen family, various matters were quickly arranged in an orderly manner, and Lin Yanyan was finally at ease, and didn't need to worry about anything.

Take the time to get together with the little sisters, arrange the affairs of the club, and let Chen Qianyao take over as the president of the club, and of course she is also a member of the club.

On the first day of August, my grandmother brought the female relatives and juniors of the Shen family to the capital.

Lin Yanyan hadn't seen her grandmother for many years, but as soon as they met, her grandmother hugged her in her arms and couldn't stop crying. The kind of heartfelt love made Lin Yanyan feel close.

The three aunts are all cheerful and unrecognizable, and those cousins ​​are also very well-behaved.

It can be seen how harmonious and harmonious the Shen family's atmosphere is, which makes Lin Yanyan very envious.

In the past, she always felt worthless for her mother, and felt that her mother was too pitiful, but now she doesn't feel that way. Her mother grew up in such a loving family and was loved by everyone. After marrying her father, her father took care of her mother again. Although her mother didn't live long, her short life was always surrounded by love.

On the third day of August, people from both the Shen and Lin prefectures went to worship at the graves of their parents.

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Tao Huiru and her master Hu Guangsheng came to the door together to present congratulatory gifts.

"Yanyan, my aunt doesn't have any other presents that I can afford. You are destined to be with the Tao family, so I will give you this "Lingxi Handbook" as a congratulatory gift!"

Lin Yanyan took the letter, and the regret that was missing in her heart was finally filled.

She is Lin Yanyan, but she is also Tao Siyu, she needs the Tao family's blessing.
