In fact, Da Ya had long wanted to go out and have a look, but Shen Laoer and Xu were worried and had always refused to allow her to travel far away alone.
But now that Mrs. Zhang and Shen Yingxue are company, Shen Laoer and Mrs. Xu have no excuse to stop them.
"Your grandma went to see Yingying and the others. Why are you messing around with them?"
Mrs. Xu's face suddenly turned pale. Da Ya has reached the age where she should marry her. Mrs. Xu is now very proud of her daughter. Coupled with the Shen family's family background, she can simply choose any young man of the right age in the capital.
Mrs. Xu hopes that Daya can find a good husband and help her gain a reputation among ladies.
But Da Ya has such a wild temper that she can't even stay in the capital, and even wants to go to Qiongzhou. Mrs. Xu wants to choose a husband for her, so how can she be willing to let her go?
Da Ya has long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Xu. She doesn’t want to be a tool for Mrs. Xu to show off. Her life has just begun. There is still a vast world for her to explore. Now that she has the opportunity to leave, Da Ya will definitely seize it.
.
"Grandma, just let me follow you."
Mrs. Zhang looked directly past Mrs. Xu and glanced at Shen Lao Er.
Shen Laoer usually loves his two daughters the most. He doesn't want his daughter to spend time in the backyard of the house. He supports whatever she wants to do.
"Mom, just take Daya with you. She can take care of you on the way."
"Yes, grandma, Daya will take good care of you!"
With that said, Daya stepped forward and took Mrs. Zhang's arm, as if she was relying on her and never wanted to let go.
"Okay, since your father has spoken, then you can go with grandma."
When Mrs. Xu saw that no one asked her what she meant, she was very worried.
"Mom, I'm going to get married now. I suddenly go to Qiongzhou and I don't know when I'll be able to come back. If I wait for three to five years before I can come back, all the outstanding young men in the capital will be picked out..."
Da Ya is totally unwilling to go to Qiongzhou, but if she really wants to go, she might as well wait until the wedding is arranged.
Mrs. Zhang despises the vanity of her second daughter-in-law the most. She thought she had learned the lesson well and said she didn't care about Da Ya, but she was still secretly plotting in her heart.
Mrs. Zhang held Daya's hand, glared at Ms. Xu and scolded her.
"Our little lady from the Shen family will still worry about getting married? Besides, who said Da Ya must get married? Whatever she wants, the old woman will let her go. You, the mother-in-law, just don't think about your daughter. Even if she wants to
You don’t want to support anything you do, no wonder your two children don’t want to kiss you!”
Mrs. Zhang's words were very serious, and Mrs. Xu also looked aggrieved.
"It's just for her own good that I want to find a good husband for her. How can a woman not get married? No matter how capable she is, she must have someone by her side who understands both coldness and warmth..."
"Okay, Da Ya knows what she knows, so let's not worry about her."
Shen Laoer knew what his wife was thinking. In order to prevent the conflict between mother and daughter from deepening, he quickly stopped Mrs. Xu from talking.
"Okay, okay, I don't care, you are all in the same group, I'm the only one here to be annoying."
Mrs. Xu pouted and turned away, looking very disappointed.
She didn't know why, she and her daughter became like this. She obviously wanted to do the best for Da Ya.
The atmosphere of separation gradually spread, and Da Ya felt uncomfortable seeing Mrs. Xu like this.
She stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Xu, but her daughter suddenly hugged her. Mrs. Xu's body stiffened for a moment, her palms pressed against her sides, not knowing what to do.
"Mom, take good care of yourself while I'm gone."
After all, she is her own mother. She doesn’t know when she will see her again after this parting. Da Ya doesn’t want them to still be quarreling before she leaves. As a daughter, she is willing to take the initiative to seek peace.
Mrs. Xu's eyes became moist as she listened to her daughter's words.
Her voice was choked, and she raised her hand to pat Da Ya's head. The fifteen-year-old lady was about the same height as her. It turned out that her daughter had really grown up.
"Mom knows that you should do well. When it comes time to listen to your grandma and aunt, mom doesn't have to force you to get married. If you can live a good life, do whatever you like."
It was rare for Mr. Xu to say such sentimental words, and Da Ya's eye circles suddenly turned red.
"Okay, I'll remember my mother's words. I'll be fine when I get to Qiongzhou."
"Um."
It was the first time that mother and daughter were so warm. Shen Laoer turned his back and quietly wiped his eyes.
The Shen family's carriage was ready. Daya hugged Xu and then Shen Lao Er, which made Shen Lao Er, a strong man, almost cry. In the end, Xu was able to coax him.
"I really can't bear to see Da Ya leave..."
"Me too..."
The couple looked at the carriage going further and further away, waving their hands, feeling full of reluctance.
——
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and it was very cold outside. Traveling in winter was difficult. Fortunately, they prepared duvets and charcoal basins in the carriage. They watched the scenery and played cards together, so they did not feel bored on the road.
.
Qiongzhou.
Jiang Wen's seduction of Shen Yanqing was exposed and her reputation was ruined. Mrs. Chen locked her in the room and refused to let her out. Aunt Fang begged her several times to no avail.
Jiang Chuan is a person who attaches great importance to reputation. Jiang Wen made such a big mistake and his face was lost.
These days, Jiang Chuan often loses his temper at home. When Shen Yanqing didn't come, he was the local emperor of Qiongzhou, and everyone had to respect him. But now that Shen Yanqing is in charge of Qiongzhou, he is still marginalized, and is becoming more and more marginalized.
He was not taken seriously, and he only had the title of governor of the state, but his real power was eclipsed.
Originally, the people under him were very obedient to him, but recently because Shen Yanqing did not reuse him, those people acted according to the prevailing situation and lost the respect they used to have for him.
In addition, Jiang Wen's scandal was exposed, and when Jiang Chuan stayed in the government office, he felt that his colleagues were secretly poking fun at him.
That day when he came out of the government office, he almost bumped into someone at the door because he was thinking about something.
The other party took a step back, looked at Jiang Chuan and said.
"I didn't believe Mrs. Jiang would bump into people when she was walking in a trance. Now that I have met Mr. Jiang, I understand that a tiger father has no dog daughter."
This person is Fu Zhong from Zhongshushe. He had always looked down upon Jiang Chuan before. Although he was only a seventh-grade man, he was recently valued by Shen Yanqing. People in the government office gave him some respect.
Jiang Chuan saw that all his subordinates who were inferior to him were being promoted, and he was already angry in his heart. Now that he was ridiculed by Fu Zhong, his anger suddenly rose.
"Fu Zhong, feel free to mock Shangfeng, I think you don't want to do this!"
Fu Zhong didn't panic at all, "Xia Guan is just telling the truth. If Mr. Jiang wants to shut up Xi Guan's mouth, he might as well take care of the little lady at home and don't let Xi Guan and others see the joke again!"
"you!"
Jiang Chuan was furious. How could he not know that Fu Zhong was so sharp-tongued?
He wanted to continue scolding, but the guards around Shen Yanqing came out and called Fu Zhong in. Seeing that he was being ignored, Jiang Chuan suppressed his blush.
