Zhu Xi was so excited that she wanted to eat someone, so she squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Oh? Congratulations to my cousin."
"However, I remember that my cousin is only fourteen years old this year! It is too hasty to get engaged before she has her hair. If word spreads, people will laugh."
Feng Shaojun blinked and chuckled contentedly: "Whoever likes to laugh laughs, and it won't hurt me in the slightest. Anyway, Cousin You is my fiancée, and no one can take a second look."
Zhu Xi: "..."
God must be blind!
Why did such a handsome and outstanding young man end up in Feng Shaojun's bowl?
Zhu Xi was so angry that she couldn't hold it back anymore and glanced at Shen You quickly.
Shen You didn't react at all.
Outstanding looks are natural. After the age of twelve, no matter where he appears, it is common for young girls to secretly take a few more glances at him.
He never took it to heart and would not give any response.
So far, the only exception is Shaojun's cousin...
Regardless of whether he is willing or not, there is no room for him to regret what he has already agreed to.
As his "fiancé", he always has to put on a show in front of others.
"Cousin You," the gentle and considerate cousin Shaojun waved to him with a smile: "Have you been drinking today? Come over quickly and let me see."
Shen You walked over and asked Shaojun's cousin to "take a look."
He was still young and had never drank before. He was training in Prince Yan's Mansion these days, so he would naturally not drink. Today, however, Cui Yuanhan persuaded him to drink a few drinks.
As expected, Feng Shaojun looked at her carefully and said with a smile: "Although you have drunk wine, you are not drunk at all."
Shen You hummed.
Some people are naturally good drinkers, and some people talk a lot when they are drunk.
Shen You is the former, and Shen Jia is the latter.
Shen Jia didn't need anyone to say hello to him, he came over excitedly and talked happily about the training situation in Prince Yan's Mansion: "...The ten of us are now living in Prince Yan's Mansion. His Highness Prince Yan has a generous temperament and is always surrounded by people. The treatment of the soldiers is also very good. What we eat, drink, wear and use are all of the best quality."
"You can also receive a salary of thirty taels of silver every month. A full thirty taels!"
"By the way, I heard from the senior soldiers that at the end of the year, His Highness will also reward the soldiers with silver rewards. As few as eight hundred taels, those who perform well and are effective can get five hundred taels!"
Shen Jia became excited, stretched out his palm, and made a sign of five hundred.
Everyone laughed.
When Feng Shaozhu saw the lively and funny Cousin Jia, he immediately put aside his mother Yao's advice and said softly: "So, Cousin Jia's annual salary is more than 800 taels!"
Shen Jia grinned broadly and said, "That's not true. There won't be more than ten people who can take so much silver. With my ability, there is no hope. I have four or five hundred taels a year, which will be enough to support my wife in the future." That’s pretty good.”
Feng Shaozhu's delicate face flushed when he heard the words wife and children.
In short, when Shen Jia is there, Shen You won't be deserted without saying a word.
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly smiled and said: "Young Master, come here, I have a happy event to tell you."
Feng Shaojun smiled slightly and walked up to Xiao Feng: "Cousin, what's the happy event?"
Shen You suddenly frowned.
A not-so-good premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.
This premonition was confirmed the next moment.
Xiao Feng smiled happily and said: "The day before yesterday, Princess Qin came to the Kangjun Prince's Mansion as a guest. She told me personally that she had fallen in love with you as her daughter-in-law. She also specially asked me to be a matchmaker to facilitate this happy event."
Everyone: "..."
In the midst of shock, the first person to react was Mr. Feng.
Da Feng suddenly stood up, with no smile on her face: "What my sister said is ridiculous."
"Half a month ago, my father personally opened his mouth and made a marriage contract for Shaojun and Silang. He also exchanged engagement tokens. When Shaojun gets his hairpin next year, the engagement will be official."
"My second brother was also present at the time and knew the matter clearly."
Feng Wei, who was full of alcohol, was so shocked that he woke up and subconsciously took over the conversation: "Yes, Shaojun and Shiro are already engaged. This marriage is the father's decision."
"You were not here at the time, and it was time for mother to tell you this happy event later."
"How could you accept the concubine of Qin and act as a matchmaker for the little prince?"
Isn't it?
No more shame!
Zhou and Yao quickly looked at each other.
Mrs. Feng quickly recovered from the shock and said to little Feng: "This marriage was decided by your father. If you want to be a matchmaker for Shaojun, you must first ask your father."
The bias in the words is very obvious.
Da Feng was so angry that she opened her mouth and asked in an unprecedented tough attitude: "What does mother mean by saying this? Do you still want to go back on your promise to get married?"
As a legitimate mother, Mrs. Feng was used to playing tricks on Mrs. Feng, and she immediately glared at her unhappily: "Don't say that the two of them haven't been officially engaged yet. Even if they were engaged, some would cancel the engagement. After getting married, some would reconcile.
.If your husband dies, you can still remarry."
This last sentence is clearly mocking Shen You's mother, Jiang.
Shen You, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth coldly: "Grandma, are you bullying us, the Shen family?"
Mrs. Feng had been suffocating for a long time. She didn't even pay attention to Shen You. She sneered and said, "I am an old woman who doesn't know if there is anyone in the Shen family. However, I am very aware of the power of Prince Qin's palace."
"Shen You, since the Queen of Qin has opened her mouth, it can be seen that she has fallen in love with Shaojun, and it must be Shaojun. Not to mention the Shen family, even our Feng family and Kangjun Prince's Palace cannot afford to offend Prince Qin's Palace."
"Are you going to anger Princess Qin and bring trouble to the Shen family for a marriage contract that has not yet been officially concluded?"
Before Shen You could open his mouth, he sternly said to Da Feng: "Think about it carefully. If you offend Princess Qin, the consequences will be endless. Can the Shen family bear it?"
"You are also a person with children and grandchildren. You have lived enough, and the children and grandchildren of the Shen family have also lived enough!"
Da Feng: "..."
Like a basin of ice water, it poured into Da Feng's heart.
Da Feng's face turned pale quietly.
Little Feng secretly praised her mother for her good cooperation, and deliberately lowered her voice and said: "What mother said is exactly what I am worried about. Princess Qin opened her mouth, how can I refuse?"
"To tell you the truth, in fact, at that time, I told Princess Qin that Shaojun and Shiro were engaged. However, Princess Qin said that an oral engagement does not count and insisted on letting me be the matchmaker."
"After much thought, I have no other choice but to come here today to be this evil person. In front of my mother, my second brother, my two sisters-in-law, and my sister, I have to say everything clearly."
"Whether we should or not depends on what my sister thinks."
