93. Chapter 93
"Why did you come here so early? The Princess Changning and the others are gone?" Shen Xinyan rubbed her slightly sore shoulders. Seeing this, Shen Huiran hurried forward and pinched her skillfully.
"They are still here, and they are enjoying chrysanthemums and writing poems in the garden at the moment!"
"Then why don't you go with them? I remember Yunfu also said that your poems are quite good, so you won't lose to them."
Shen Huiran smiled: "Yunfu just said a few polite words, and aunt believed it too?"
"Yunfu is not the kind of person who just opens his mouth to speak. If you don't have any real skills, he won't say such polite words." Shen Xinyan was noncommittal.
What kind of temperament is the child she brought out by herself, doesn't she understand yet?
"Come here, come and talk to my aunt and play with them." For a moment, she pulled Shen Huiran to sit beside her and looked at her lovingly.
After so many years have passed, Jing Anbo kept his promise to the Liang family back then. But he is a man's family, so how can he be thoughtful in taking care of the little girl, so Shen Xinyan makes people take his niece to live for a while from time to time.
It can be said that in the past five years, Shen Huiran has lived in the British government's residence more than in Jing'anbo's residence.
Two years ago, the British prince passed away on the same day as the previous life, and in this life, Shen Xinyan finally knew the reason for the smile on his face before he died. That's because Wei Junhang confessed to him that he had been secretly working for Emperor Yuanyou for so many years.
Duke Ying did not expect that the second son, who he thought was the least successful, was actually the most trusted confidant of Emperor Yuanyou. When he thought about the words of "Blessed General" by Master Huiming back then, he finally woke up like a dream.
His son and grandson are so promising, and he deeply feels that he has no regrets in this life, and that the former glory of the Guogong's mansion is expected to be revived, and finally he does not need to support his wreckage.
After the Duke of England passed away, Wei Junhang inherited the title of title, and his wife was honored by the husband, and Shen Xinyan was also promoted to the lady of the country.
Shen Huiran was a little embarrassed by her, and lowered her head shyly, which caused her to chuckle.
"Hui'er has also grown up, and she will be able to get married in a few years. I don't know which bastard can have such a blessing." After a long while, Shen Xinyan sighed.
The children grew up, and she grew old too.
"Auntie..." Shen Huiran whispered softly.
"Okay, stop saying these words." Seeing her shy, Shen Xinyan stopped teasing her and patted her hand with a smile.
The aunts and nephews talked for a while, and another maid came to report, saying 'the prince is here'.
When Shen Huiran heard this, she hurriedly got up to say goodbye and quickly left from the other side of the room.
Shen Xinyan didn't stop her, let alone say things like "Family relatives don't need to be more polite".
In fact, in the past few years, under her deliberate arrangement, the number of times the cousins ββand sisters have actually met, and it has never happened before.
She will not break her promise to Mrs. Jing'an Botai, and she will try her best to take care of Shen Huiran in this life. But she couldn't help but watch Shen Huiran repeat the same mistakes and fall in love with someone she shouldn't like again, and thus miss her life.
Of course, if her son can change his mind in this life and like his niece, she will naturally be happy to see it happen. However, she would never get involved again.
"Mother!" The fifteen-year-old boy was tall and straight, and his handsome face was full of respect.
Every time she looks at this son, who has gradually overlapped with her previous life, Shen Xinyan is still a little dazed, and she can't tell where she is, whether it is a past life or this life? Or maybe everything is just a dream, and when she wakes up, she is still the despised Mrs.
Wei Chenglin was also used to her mother being absent-minded for a moment every time she saw him, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she patiently waited for her to turn around.
"Have you seen your grandmother?" Shen Xinyan asked softly with a gentle expression.
"I saw it." Wei Chenglin nodded, a flash of unease on his face.
Shen Xinyan didn't miss his discomfort, thought for a while, and asked, "But who did you see at grandma?"
Wei Chenglin said vaguely: "The third sister happened to take the Changning County Master to bid farewell to her grandmother."
Shen Xinyan realized.
The Lord of Changning County is the daughter of King Ning, two years younger than Wei Chenglin. Although King Ning has the name of "Flower Tai Sui" and has many children, the Lord of Changning County is the best among them, and has always been favored by King Ning.
In the last life, the eldest daughter-in-law who the eldest princess was looking for was Changning County Lord. It's a pity that in the end, neither the Princess Changning nor the niece Shen Huiran she likes were able to catch Wei Chenglin's eyes.
It's just that Changning County Master has the pride of her being a Prince County Master. Even if she didn't marry the person she likes, she doesn't bother to entangle too much. Not long after Wei Chenglin and Zhou Wanning signed the marriage, they also made the marriage.
It is reported that the marriage and the county horse are also quite good, and the two have two sons and one daughter under their knees.
Compared with Shen Huiran, who has been unable to let go, it has to be said that the Lord of Changning County is a decisive and wise person, and when he is decisive, he will be cut off.
Seeing her son like this now, Shen Xinyan also understands that it seems that the eldest princess in this life has not changed her mind and still falls in love with the Princess Changning. Since she has this thought, she will match the two people intentionally or unintentionally, and it is no wonder that her son has an uncomfortable expression on his face just now.
"The princess is a good girl who knows etiquette." She said meaningfully.
Wei Chenglin was even more uncomfortable. He always felt that his mother's eyes were the same as his grandmother's eyes, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Facts have proved that Shen Xinyan's guess was correct.
That night, she went to the eldest princess to greet her as usual, and the eldest princess asked directly, "How do you think the Changning County Lord is a person?"
She pretended to be ignorant and replied, "The county lord is a good girl with good taste. It is rare that even though she is the royal favored county lord, she is not arrogant at all, and she treats people and things with modesty and courtesy."
The eldest princess was quite satisfied with what she said, and nodded with a smile: "I want to marry the Lord of Changning County for Brother Lin, what do you think?"
"Daughter-in-law is definitely not what you want! It's just that Brother Lin is only fifteen now, and the county master is a little younger, but he's only thirteen. If you were discussing a relative, wouldn't it be too early?" Shen Xinyan had no reason to disagree.
"It's just to set the marriage first, not to let them get married immediately, it's earlier, what's the matter!" The eldest princess disagreed.
"Mother said very much that a good girl like the county owner has countless people who are vying to marry. It's better to book it early, so that no one else can snatch it away." Shen Xinyan said with a smile.
The eldest princess was very satisfied with her attitude, and smiled in a good mood: "Since you have no opinion, let's find an opportunity to find out what Princess Ning means. If she agrees, we will choose an auspicious date to book the marriage. ."
"Everything is arranged by mother."
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law happily reached a consensus, and the atmosphere was naturally better. Shen Xinyan asked her to show her some public affairs, and the eldest princess just waved her hand and said, "You can make up your mind."
Shen Xinyan was already the wife of the Duke, and she had been in charge of family affairs together with Fang's Yang's for many years, and the eldest princess gradually became more at ease with her.
Now nominally, matters in the house are still managed by the three houses, but in fact, Shen Xinyan's opinions are gradually given priority, and the other two are being squeezed to the edge little by little.
Fortunately, Shen Xinyan did not intend to take over the power of the mansion alone. In fact, she could not wish for two more helpers so that she could have more time to take care of her private property.
Just like in her previous life, in this life, Xu Sumin still made her hot spring villa prosperous, and Shen Xinyan, one of the partners, also made a lot of money because of this. Amazing entry for the pen.
Last year, she partnered with Xu Sumin to open a dim sum shop. Although the business was not as good as that of Hot Spring Villa, it was still doing a good job. Gradually, it became a little famous in the capital.
The two investments in a row were huge profits, and Shen Xinyan only felt that her waist was straightened a lot because of this, and naturally she would not put that little property in Gongzhong in her eyes. If it wasn't for fear of damaging her reputation, she would prefer to hand over everything in the public service to Fang and Yang.
Although there is a tacit understanding with the eldest princess, the engagement of the eldest son naturally has to be discussed with Wei Junhang.
That night, when Wei Junhang returned from Dali Temple, Shen Xinyan told him that the eldest princess wanted to appoint Changning County Lord for her son.
Although Wei Junhang, who was in his thirties, was much calmer than before, his usual good temper had not changed at all, and none of the children in the house were afraid of him. Hearing his wife mentioning his son's marriage, he just thought about it for a while and then smiled: "I have some impressions of Princess Changning, the daughter of King Ning's servant, since both you and your mother think she is good, she must be quite the same. Nice girl. If Brother Lin has no opinion, then make an order first!"
Brother Lin... Shen Xinyan smiled slightly, but she was not very sure.
Apart from meeting the young Zhou Wanning for the first time, the sons in this life should not have the chance to see her again, so they will not reject the wife they chose for him, right?
"After all, this matter is his lifelong event, and it must be done with his consent." Wei Junhang didn't notice her strangeness.
"...Okay, I'll pick a time to ask his opinion." Shen Xinyan nodded in response.
That's all, let's ask first, if he agrees, then order it, if he doesn't agree, she won't force it.
To her surprise, when she told Wei Chenglin what the eldest princess meant, Wei Chenglin was only a little surprised at first, and immediately said: "Everything is according to the arrangement of grandmother and mother."
Shen Xinyan saw that there was no reluctance on his face, but she couldn't see how happy she was. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "If you don't like it, you don't have to force it. After all, this is your whole life..."
Wei Chenglin was puzzled: "The child and the county master are only one-sided. I can't say whether they like it or not. It's just that my grandmother and mother both think she is a suitable wife, so it's not wrong to think about it."
Is that so? Because there is no one you like in your heart, it doesn't matter who you marry?
Shen Xinyan was suspicious.
