With Wei Chenglin's return, the British government that day was bathed in bursts of laughter and laughter. Especially the eldest princess, the whole person looked radiant, and the smile on her face never stopped.

After half a day, Yunfu and Wei Yingzhi, who got the news, also brought their eldest son, An Geer.

When brothers and sisters meet, it is naturally a lot of fun.

After the crowd dispersed, Wei Chenglin stayed in the eldest princess' house, patiently telling the eldest princess and Shen Xinyan about his days in northern Xinjiang in the past few years. Of course, he didn't say a word about the dangers he had experienced.

Shen Xinyan was naturally clear, but did not ask in detail. After all, it is good for people to come back safely, and after all other things have passed, let it pass completely!

"...When the blind bear fell, we were so tired that we were about to lose our strength. Fortunately, Chang Feng brought the soldiers to find him, and then he took the blind bear back." Wei Chenglin naturally couldn't say it all. Some ordinary things, but also some surprising and interesting slowly said, only let the eldest princess hear exclaimed again and again.

Changfeng? Shen Xinyan somehow grasped a somewhat familiar name in his words, and after thinking about it for a while, she just remembered that this Chang Feng was Ping Yan's youngest brother, and he followed his brother who passed away in his place about three years ago. next to the eldest son.

She looked thoughtfully at Wei Chenglin, who had a smile on her face and was doing everything she could to make the eldest princess happy. For a moment, she let out a low sigh.

So, well...

For the first month after Wei Chenglin returned to Beijing, he spent almost all of his reunion with relatives and friends, but he didn't pay much attention to other matters, as if he was single-mindedly trying to make up for the debts he had owed to his relatives over the past few years.

Shen Xinyan also followed him, just at this time there was good news from the Chen residence that the third wife, Shen Huiran, was pregnant again.

After the concubine finally succeeded in giving birth to the eldest son of the prince a few years ago, the prince's family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Chen family, a relative of the concubine's family, immediately spread the news that the third wife was happy. The following year, Chen The eldest son of the third son also came into the world.

And Shen Huiran has officially established a firm foothold in the Chen residence. Now that she is happy again, whether it is a boy or a girl, it will not affect her status in the Chen residence.

"I never thought that in the blink of an eye, cousin Hui is about to become the mother of two children." Wei Chenglin, who was looking at Brother Xiang's copybook, couldn't hide his surprise when he heard the news.

"I don't think it's been a few years since you left the capital? Not only your cousin Hui, but also your cousin Feng's third child is coming soon." Shen Xinyan shook her head.

Wei Chenglin put down the copybook in his hand and answered seriously, "It's the child's fault that has worried my mother over the years."

"Between mother and son, these words don't need to be said. It's just that you have met a good girl in the northern border all these years?" Thinking of the girl in General Huang's mansion, she asked tentatively.

General Huang's father and daughter only returned to Beijing last year, and they have been with their eldest son for two years in northern Xinjiang. don't know if the eldest son will have any impression of the Huang family girl.

Some unexpected mothers put the words on him, Wei Chenglin laughed: "As a man, the child is busy with business all day long, so why don't you have time to notice how good other girls are?"

"But why did I hear Chang Feng say that there is a girl from Mozhifu who seems to have some thoughts on you?" Shen Xinyan had inquired early in the morning, how could he be vague.

"Miss Mo?" Wei Chenglin shook his head, "Mother, don't listen to Chang Feng's nonsense, Miss Mo is only a child's temperament, and she is competitive. How could there be any love between men and women."

A little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old who has grown up lovingly and spoiled, has never encountered any setbacks. Rather than saying that she is happy with herself, it is better to say that she is not reconciled to her 'ignoring' her.

Shen Xinyan stared at him closely, not missing every expression on his face. Seeing his calm expression, she didn't seem to be pretending. what a feeling.

She thought for a while, and then asked, "What about the big girl in General Huang's mansion? Do you recognize her?"

Yellow girl? Wei Chenglin was stunned, and a stubborn face appeared in his mind involuntarily.

"When the baby first arrived in the northern Xinjiang, General Huang was seriously injured, so he could only go to his house for business transfers. Miss Huang... In charge of the family affairs of the General's House, the baby naturally recognized her."

Huh? Still explaining so much? Shen Xinyan was surprised by his words, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Wei Chenglin was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he cleared his throat, lowered his head quickly, and pretended to read a book seriously.

Seeing him like this, Shen Xinyan's heart was instantly settled.

It seems that the daughter-in-law here is promising.

On this day, Shen Xinyan had an appointment with Xu Sumin, and Wei Chenglin took the initiative to invite Ying to escort her there.

Shen Xinyan's son's filial piety will naturally not refuse, and she readily agrees.

Some time ago, Xu Sumin entrusted someone to import a batch of special goods from the Western Ocean. Shen Xinyan went to see it at her invitation. The carriage quickly stopped at the Baizhen Pavilion in the city. Wei Chenglin sat with them for a while. A little surprised, Xu Sumin's old-fashioned vision in business couldn't help but nodded secretly.

No wonder His Majesty asked this Madam Xu to take care of his private property. With her means and ability, I am afraid that His Majesty's private property has doubled over the years.

He didn't even think that his mother was also involved in it.

When he noticed that Xu Sumin's words gradually mentioned business secrets, he found a reason to leave, leaving the space completely to the two people in the room.

"I haven't seen each other for many years, but your son has become more considerate." Xu Sumin joked.

Shen Xinyan glared at her angrily: "Don't worry, your family will be more considerate in the future."

Xu Sumin smiled helplessly: "That child has been completely spoiled by his ignorant father. He's a sly little guy. He's really talking about people and talking to ghosts."

"How can you talk about your son like that!" Shen Xinyan was amused by her.

But when she thought of Dundun's ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but want to laugh.

If someone asked his name, he would first judge whether the other person was close to his mother or his father. If he couldn't tell, he would simply answer that he was called 'Dun Dun'.

If the other party is on Xu Sumin's side, he will tell the other party loudly, "My name is Xu Qiao". If the other party belongs to the Qiao clan of the Duke of Liguo, his answer will become 'My name is Josh'.

Really mixed like a fish in water, but it makes people laugh and cry!

"What about you and Qiao Liuye? You really don't plan to get a name?" Shen Xinyan asked again.

"Let's do it like this! Familiarity just sounds good, but in fact it's self-aware. It's good now, the Lushui couple, they miss each other in their hearts, but they won't interfere with each other, it's very good!" Xu Sumin disagreed.

Shen Xinyan was not at all surprised by her answer, so she didn't say it anymore.

However, Wei Chenglin on the other side went downstairs alone, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure entering the shop selling jewelry on the opposite side. Taking a closer look, he recognized that it was the eldest girl in General Huang's mansion.

"The shopkeeper, this hairpin is good, with this oriental pearl inlaid, the whole thing looks very elegant..."

He watched the yellow girl pick up a jade hairpin with an inlaid eastern pearl and looked like she wanted to buy it. He felt strange when he suddenly saw a very delicately dressed woman in a pink dress walking there. Beside Miss Huang, she arrogantly said to the shopkeeper, "I want this hairpin."

"This hairpin, this girl has already taken a fancy to, the girl might as well choose another..." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.

"You have to have some insight when you open the door to do business. At least you have to distinguish who can afford it and who can't." The girl in pink sneered.

"I don't like this hairpin very much. If Miss Hu wants it, I will give it to you." Huang Qingshu smiled and put the hairpin back.

That Hu girl sneered again: "It sounds so nice, it's clearly not affordable."

Then, Wei Chenglin looked at Huang Qingshu and took a fancy to a set of pearl and jadeite heads, a pair of pink jade bracelets, and a phoenix with a little emerald, but without exception, they were all cut off by the girl Hu in the end.

In the end, Wei Chenglin watched as she left with her hands empty and her face full of disappointment. For some reason, her heart was full of anger, and she glanced sharply at the proud girl Hu.

The girl Hu suddenly felt a chill down her spine and shivered, but she didn't care too much, and ordered the servants to put away the jewelry she bought, and then got on the carriage and left.

Wei Chenglin took a deep breath, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

General Huang is upright by nature, not a person with exquisite face, plus he does not have a deep background, and he has achieved the status he has today, but he came from a poor background and has a limited family, so his general's residence is not to mention the same level. Compared with officials, even those officials whose grades are not as good as him are also greatly inferior.

Wei Chenglin had been with him for two years in the northern Xinjiang, and knew the situation of their mansion, but he didn't think that as the direct daughter of the general's mansion, he couldn't even afford a decent piece of jewelry, so he was being treated like this everywhere. Against underestimation.

His heart was a little uncomfortable, not only for the soldier who was dedicated to the country but living in embarrassment, but also for the yellow girl who was full of pride but bowed down for five buckets of rice.

"The shopkeeper, have you made a lot of money today?" Just as she felt uncomfortable, she suddenly saw Huang Qingshu leaving and returning, smiling and walking up to the shopkeeper who was excitedly counting the banknotes.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "No more, no less, thanks to the girl. According to the agreement, girl, this is 10% of the silver taels for you."

After speaking, he took out a bank note and handed it to the other party.

Huang Qingshu took it with a smile, glanced at the numbers on it, and was instantly elated.

Ya Ya Ya, this month's expenses in the government have been paid!

"It's a pleasure to work together, and there is a chance to come again!" He took the bank note and collected it, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and left happily.

Wei Chenglin was stunned, he couldn't believe what he saw.

So, this is... the right way to make money?

He couldn't hold back, he followed up again, and stopped Huang Qingshu when she turned into the restaurant next door: "Miss Huang."

Huang Qingshu responded with a surprised expression, "General Wei?"

Wei Chenglin stopped her on impulse, but when he met the other person's face, he realized that he was abrupt, and he regretted it for a while, so he cleared his throat and asked, "I haven't seen you for a year, I wonder if the old wound on Ling Zun's body will be better? "

"General Lao remembers, my father's body is safe." Huang Qingshu suddenly realized that he was worried about his father's body.

Unexpectedly, this cold noodle general is still a warm-hearted!

The two were speechless for a while, and Huang Qingshu naturally wouldn't stay for long. After a few polite words, he got into the sedan chair and left.

Wei Chenglin frowned, and for a moment, he rubbed his forehead with a slight headache, puzzled by his actions just now.

"Has your snarky gourd son lusted after someone else's girl?" Xu Sumin, who had seen the scene clearly, pushed Shen Xinyan's arm and asked with a smile.

Shen Xinyan had a happy smile on her face: "If that's the case, it would be really great!"

"What? You fell in love with that girl early in the morning?" Xu Sumin guessed what she was thinking.

"I'm not the only one who likes her, but also my mother-in-law!" Shen Xinyan naturally wouldn't hide it from her.

"It seems that this girl must have something special to attract the favor of the eldest princess."

While the two were talking and laughing, Wei Chenglin walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he was at a loss for the two faces who were also smiling meaningfully.

Xu Sumin was about to make a joke, but Shen Xinyan pushed her quickly, indicating that she should not say anything. Xu Sumin understood what she meant, and refilled her tea with a smile.

"Come back? Let's go back!" Shen Xinyan stood up as if nothing had happened.

Although Wei Chenglin thought that they were smiling strangely, he didn't think deeply and replied "Okay".

The mother and son then bid farewell to Xu Sumin and set off for their home.

After a few days, the marriage of Wei Chenglin, the prince of the British government, was officially put on the agenda. The people who had been eyeing the marriage for a long time expressed their intentions to Shen Xinyan either explicitly or secretly. Among them was the old lady of the Mo family, who wanted to The marriage between his granddaughter and Wei Chenglin, who is about to return to Beijing from northern Xinjiang, and the first wife of the newly appointed Minister of Officials, intends to marry Wei Chenglin's daughter, who is known as a talented and beautiful woman.

In front of the eldest princess, Shen Xinyan deliberately mentioned these two people, because one was acquainted with Wei Chenglin, and the other was the best among the girls in the capital.

The beauty of this girl Duan's appearance is not inferior to that of Zhou Wanning back then. That's why she hesitated.

After all, she is the wife who will accompany her eldest son all her life in the future. She felt that it would be better for him to choose the one he liked anyway.

This girl from the Duan Mansion, with outstanding looks and talent, was carefully raised by her elders and grew up. Shen Xinyan had seen her before, her demeanor was also graceful, and she looked like a good candidate.

The eldest princess frowned: "According to your intention, do you want Brother Lin to choose one of Huang's, Mo's and Duan's houses?"

"Daughter-in-law sees that these three girls are all excellent, but after all, this is Brother Lin's life-long event, and it is more suitable for him to choose by himself." Shen Xinyan said slowly.

"What if he doesn't look down on the three?" The eldest princess asked again.

"Then let him find someone he likes. My daughter-in-law believes that after so much experience, he is no longer the desperate boy he used to be." Shen Xinyan replied indifferently.

The eldest princess looked at her deeply, for a long time, and smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then follow your words!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached a consensus, and quickly told Wei Chenglin the meaning.

Wei Chenglin was surprised.

Yellow girl? Grandmother and mother want to marry Huang girl as his wife?

He couldn't believe it for a moment.

Shen Xinyan and the eldest princess looked at each other, both of them couldn't figure out his intentions. After thinking about it, Shen Xinyan said, "Of course, if you don't care about the three girls, the other girls in the house are also fine."

Wei Chenglin didn't seem to hear her words, just stared blankly at the three portraits in front of him, and his eyes fell on the one on the far left.

Shen Xinyan followed his line of sight and recognized that the woman above was Huang Qingshu, the eldest daughter of General Huang.

The eldest princess also found out, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

"Grandmother thinks this girl from Duan Mansion is a good girl, she is both talented and has good conduct." The eldest princess said suddenly.

Shen Xinyan was only stunned for a moment, then she understood her intention, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law thinks that the Mo family girl is better, her temperament is cheerful, but she is generous and decent. Understand, it will be better to run in naturally in the future.”

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you said each other, but quietly observed Wei Chenglin's expression, seeing the hesitation on his face getting thicker, he looked quite struggling.

The grandmother looked at the girl in the middle section, and the mother obviously liked the girl more, but...

"Brother Lin, my grandmother has lived most of her life, and her eyes are not wrong. This girl is really a rare woman. If you don't believe it, grandmother and Mrs. Duan will arrange for you to meet again."

"My mother still insists that Miss Mo is more suitable. She is a girl's family and has a comfortable life in Beijing. She would rather follow her parents to go to northern Xinjiang. This kind of filial piety is touching. Besides, she is a spoiled girl. I don't dislike that wild land, it can be seen that if you can endure hardships, you will be able to sing and sing along in the future." Shen Xinyan has her own opinions.

"But, but Miss Huang is not bad..." Wei Chenglin finally said.

"Miss Huang is indeed not bad. If she is bad, will my grandmother choose her? It's just that in comparison, Miss Duan and Miss Mo are better." The eldest princess did not change her expression.

"Your grandmother's meaning is also your mother's." Shen Xinyan agreed.

Wei Chenglin's expression became more hesitant.

He has let his grandmother and mother down once, but this time, is he going to let them down?

His eyes fell on the three portraits side by side again, and then he looked at the eldest princess and Shen Xinyan one by one, looking at the expectations on their faces.

After a long time, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and knelt on the ground with the corner of his robe: "Grandmother, mother, let you down, I, I want to choose Miss Huang!"

As if afraid that they would disagree, he hurriedly said: "Although Miss Huang's family background is not as good as that of the two girls above, she is filial and benevolent. The responsibility of the mistress of a house."

"But her appearance..." The eldest princess had a smile in her eyes, but she said deliberately.

"In the eyes of my grandson, Miss Huang's appearance is not inferior to the two girls Duan Mo. Besides, her lack in the eyes of the world just proves her character." Wei Chenglin said calmly.

A girl who works hard at home day and night is naturally not as delicate as the pampered daughter.

The eldest princess finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Xinyan, and saw that she also had a happy smile on her face.

Shen Xinyan personally helped him up and said with a smile: "In this case, mother will decide for you, and I hope you can take on the responsibility of being a husband in the future."

Wei Chenglin was overjoyed and looked at the eldest princess subconsciously. Seeing that she also had a smile on her face, he was overjoyed: "Thank you mother, thank you grandmother!"

The news that Wei Chenglin, the son of the British prince, and Huang Qingshu, the eldest girl of the General's Mansion, had entered into a marriage quickly spread throughout the capital, causing an uproar in the capital.

It's not that the girls in the General's Mansion are bad, but because of the conditions of Shizi Wei, one can choose someone with better conditions, such as the girl from Duan Shangshu's mansion, who is both talented and beautiful. If the two are combined, they will be truly heroic and beautiful. A good story.

But no matter what other people think in their hearts, the time for the big wedding has come.

Shen Xinyan sat on the head and watched the beaming son lead his wife into the door. In a burst of singing, he worshipped the heavens and the earth, worshipped his parents, and finally the husband and wife paid their respects and were sent to the bridal chamber.

Water light gradually floated in her eyes.

"It's really a lot of good things, and the second sister-in-law finally has a problem on her mind this time." Mrs Yang on the side said with a smile.

"Yeah, good things take a long time to come, but luckily the ending is good." Shen Xinyan sighed, her eyes unknowingly looking towards someone in the crowd, the person seemed to sense her gaze, and when she looked back, the husband and wife smiled at each other. .

Fortunately, I have him to accompany me in this life!
