The old lady and Madam Xin happily looked at the gifts that Mu Yun'an chose for them. Although they were not very expensive, they showed that they were thoughtful.
Shen Wanyue was left alone and couldn't say anything, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
At this time, Mu Yun'an came over with a brocade box in his arms and said, "Cousin, this is for you. I heard from my grandmother that you were coming, so I went to buy you a gift. I hope you don't dislike it."
Shen Wanyue watched Mu Yun'an open the brocade box. It was a set of very exquisite gemstones. It looked like it was worth a lot of money. She was a little flattered: "How can I accept such a valuable thing?"
The old lady took a look at the gift Mu Yun'an prepared for Shen Wanyue, and said with a happy smile: "Yan Yan gave it to you, just accept it, don't feel bad for her, she is a person with a salary now."
Shen Wanyue thanked her and accepted the mask, and said to Mu Yun'an: "I haven't congratulated my cousin yet. You are now the county head. I was only focused on joy and haven't given you any gifts yet."
As he said this, he knelt down and saluted her.
Mu Yun'an hurriedly helped her up: "Cousin, what are you doing? It's just a title. We are all family members, so we don't need to see anyone outside."
She pulled Shen Wanyue and said, "Cousin, come here to see if there is anything else you like? I bought a lot."
This room was full of women, and Xiao Chengyi didn't want to stay long, so he made an excuse and left first.
But when he turned to leave, Shen Wanyue glanced at him secretly, and she happened to be spotted by Mu Yun'an.
Shen Wanyue has already grown her hair, which is the right age for marriage. Seeing the young and handsome young man, her heart cannot help but sparkle.
But Mu Yun'an didn't expect that her cousin would be interested in Xiao Chengyi the first time she met him.
Doesn’t she dislike Xiao Chengyi’s background?
You must know that the noble ladies in the capital are very selective in selecting their husbands. If Xiao Chengyi is a real son of the General's Mansion, this person who comes to propose marriage will probably cross the threshold.
Just because of his identity, many people have given up their minds. Even if he is good-looking but has a bad background, he is still unpopular in the capital.
The purpose of Shen Wanyue's coming to the capital was to find a wealthy family to marry as a young lady. Logically speaking, she should look down on Xiao Chengyi's status.
But......
Mu Yun'an thought that Shen Wanyue refused to marry for Xiao Chengyi in her previous life. It is conceivable that she must like Xiao Chengyi very much, right?
And Xiao Chengyi lived up to her love.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun'an's heart felt a little heavy.
The old lady thought she was tired, so she stopped restraining her and asked her to go back and rest first.
After Mu Yun'an left, Xin Ruyi said goodbye without bothering her, and only the old lady and Shen Wanyue were left in the room.
Because Shen Wan's appearance resembled that of her mother, the old lady liked her granddaughter very much. She felt guilty when she thought that her daughter was married far away and could hardly see her for many years.
But if she had not married low, her daughter would not have been able to escape the fate of entering the palace and becoming a concubine.
But how can it be so easy to become a palace concubine?
The situation is precarious, and the women in the harem are intrigued by each other and cannot be guarded against. Although they enjoy endless wealth and glory, it is only superficial beauty.
The old lady took Shen Wanyue's hand and asked, "How is your mother?"
Shen Wanyue replied: "Okay, grandma, don't worry, her mother is doing well, her father is also very good to her, the back house is quiet, and the family is in harmony."
"That's good."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Although Shen Chi was of low origin, she had a good character. After her daughter Mu Xuechu married Shen Chi, she gave birth to Shen Wanyue soon after.
