Shen Yingxue was surrounded by a group of people at the door of Guo's house, and the food she was carrying was almost crushed.
"Ms. Shen, I am the nun next to Mrs. Jinghou. My eldest son has admired you for a long time. Do you think you are free now? Let me have a chat with you."
This woman was a thief. She was ordered by Mrs. Jinghou to marry her own wife, but seeing that the Guo family couldn't get in, she turned to Shen Yingxue.
No matter it's Guo Zhao or Shen Yingxue, their Jinghou Mansion will always be looking for someone, right?
Besides, compared to General Guo, Shen Shangshu's sister is more important.
When the matchmakers next to them heard what this nanny said, they all rolled their eyes, gritted their teeth and pushed them aside.
As expected of the Jinghou Mansion, which is famous for its shrewd calculations, even the servants in the mansion are so good at planning.
Shen Yingxue is now a hot commodity. If he can marry her, he will have a relationship with the Shen family and Princess Rongning.
No one would miss this opportunity to get close.
Shen Yingxue was entangled by a group of matchmakers. Her beautiful face was gloomy and the corners of her mouth were straightened. She had been running a shop for several years and had already learned to greet them with a smile. But facing these matchmakers, Shen Yingxue was a little shy. No patience at all.
Just when she didn't know how to get away from everyone, the door of Guo's house suddenly opened. Guo's mother came out from behind the door with her maid, pulled everyone away, and held Shen Yingxue's hand.
"Don't worry, this is my daughter-in-law!"
As soon as she said this, the crowd fell silent.
"Daughter-in-law...wife?"
Did their ears hear it right?
When did Mrs. Shen say we were kissing?
And Guo's mother's daughter-in-law, doesn't that mean that the person who said she was in love with Shen Yingxue was... Guo Zhao!
"Old Madam, are you lying to us? How come we have never heard of Mrs. Shen remarrying?"
These two people are the favorites in the eyes of aristocratic families in the capital. Suddenly hearing that the two of them were getting married made everyone who wanted to talk about matchmaking feel a little flustered.
Shen Yingxue held Mother Guo's hand and raised her head to glance at her. She was surrounded by so many people and she was still a little unresponsive.
Mother Guo's palms were dry and she looked at her with comfort.
"Yingxue and my Guo Zhao were engaged two years ago. Only two families know about this. She has long been my daughter-in-law in my heart."
In the two years since Guo Zhao joined the army, Yingxue has taken care of her. The Shen family are all kind-hearted and often help her out.
Now that Guo Zhao has been promoted to the fourth rank general and has become a popular figure in the eyes of the emperor, Guo's mother is not only not happy but also annoyed by the aristocratic family's overtures.
These people all took a fancy to Guo Zhao's current power, but Shen Yingxue chose him when he was powerless.
Mother Guo witnessed how difficult their journey was, so she naturally hoped that they would be safe and sound.
Guo's mother's attitude had already shown that others could no longer entangle her. Seeing Shen Yingxue being pulled in by Guo's mother, the matchmakers all sighed.
Now it's okay, they didn't say anything.
However, the marriage between Guo Zhao and Lady Shen was kept secret so deeply that when it was revealed now, everyone's minds were in a state of confusion.
I heard that the gunpowder bags used by Guo Zhao and the Xixia people were sent by Princess Rongning and designated for his use. I didn't understand it before, but now I have the answer.
This is Princess Rongning building momentum for her soon-to-be brother-in-law!
This Guo Zhaoke is really lucky. He is favored by the Shen family, and his future future is immeasurable.
Guo family.
Mother Guo took Shen Yingxue's hand and sat on the sofa. The little maid brought tea and snacks. Mother Guo smiled and handed her a piece of chestnut cake.
"Guo Zhao wrote a letter a few days ago. When the war at the border has calmed down a bit, he will return to Beijing to seal it."
There is a gunpowder pack as a big killer at the border, and Xixia will not dare to make any more moves in the short term.
Guo Zhao has not been back for two years, and the date agreed between him and Shen Yingxue is coming soon.
Mother Guo was afraid that her mouth would be dry, so she handed her another cup of tea, and Shen Yingxue took it with a smile. However, as soon as she took a sip, Mother Guo's next words almost made her spit out the water before she could swallow it.
"Just in time, you will get married when Guo Zhao comes back."
"Ahem..."
Shen Yingxue choked, and her fair face turned red.
Mother Guo wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and she didn't forget to make fun of her.
"You have been waiting for him for two years. Guo Zhao is stupid enough. Without Princess Rongning's help, he would not have known how long it would take to get promoted."
"Brother Guo is very good..."
Shen Yingxue calmed down and subconsciously spoke for Guo Zhao. When she looked up, she saw the smile on the corner of Guo's mother's mouth, and then her face turned redder.
"I know you are protecting him, so I won't tell you anymore."
"aunt!"
Shen Yingxue was so embarrassed that Guo's mother always liked to tease her. When she was in the Zhou family, Zhou's mother only had sarcastic remarks about her. Although she always blushed when she was with Guo's mother, Shen Yingxue liked her from the bottom of her heart. close.
She was lucky to meet Guo Zhao and Guo Mu.
Thinking of Guo Zhao, who was about to return to Beijing, she felt sweet in her heart and wished that life would go by faster.
After leaving Guo's house, she first went to Shen's house. Now Jiang Miao is a famous person in the capital. The shops under her have become more and more popular because of the reputation of Goddess Dayan. They used to have many customers, but now they are even more prosperous.
Even her dim sum shop has benefited from it. Shen Yingxue calculated this month's profit, and it actually caught up with half the year's income.
She came to Jiang Miao this time to ask her if she wanted to expand her store.
Although Shen Yingxue owns the dim sum shop, Jiang Miao also has shares in it, so Shen Yingxue usually wants to discuss such big things with her.
When she came over, Jiang Miaozheng and Shen Yanqing were sitting in the courtyard admiring the flowers. The weather was getting warmer, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard were in bloom. From a distance, they looked like a sea of pink clouds.
Her brother cut some peach blossoms and was making a garland. Miao Ya put a few flowers in her bun, which looked particularly charming with the peach wood hairpin. She held her chin and looked at the man in front of her with a sweet smile. Shen Yingxue paused in her steps. , actually some didn’t want to come forward and disturb them.
It was Jiang Miao who heard the noise and saw her coming.
"Sister is here, come and sit down!"
Shen Yingxue was busy in the shop on weekdays, and the two rarely met. When she suddenly came to Shen's house, Jiang Miao's eyes were filled with surprise.
She stood up from the stone bench and was about to come over to greet her, but Shen Yingxue quickly walked over to support her.
"You're so heavy, so don't move."
Jiang Miao has been pregnant for seven months and is about to give birth. Recently, the Shen family has been watching her closely for fear that something might happen.
"I'm so squeamish, and the doctor also said I need to move around more..."
Jiang Miao sat down with her arm in her arms. She was pregnant with twins, and it would be difficult to give birth. Qiao Songyun specifically asked her to walk more every day. Jiang Miao was too lazy to move, so Shen Yanqing followed her every day to supervise her. Just walk for half an hour.
The flowers in the yard were blooming today, so Jiang Miao stayed outside for a longer time.
"Sister, why do you come here when you have time?"
