Chapter 452: Mother and daughter talk at night and welcome guests
"A few days ago, Lord Ma Shao, the envoy of the Third Division of the DPRK, came to visit in person.
Now that your father has gained face, of course he will come over."
Murong Hui said leisurely.
"As for bringing so many things, firstly, I'm used to it, and secondly, His Majesty, Lianli City has decreed that this city is the place for trading between our Song Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom.
As a family of merchants, our Shao family naturally wants to participate.
Next spring will be the time for trade between the two countries, so your father and I and others may have to stay in Lienli City for a longer time."
Hearing this, Shao Muyu suddenly realized! It turns out that his father came here for this.
This is normal. This kind of trading place between the two countries has unparalleled attraction for any merchant, and the Shao family will naturally be tempted.
In fact, with Shao Muyu's wisdom, he should have thought of this a long time ago. However, in recent times, his thoughts have been focused on Shen Tang, so he just ignored these things.
"Daughter, does it have any impact on you that Shen Tang married a princess from the Kingdom of Jin?"
With only her mother and daughter alone, Murong Hui naturally didn't need to beat around the bush when speaking.
Moreover, this was indeed something she was secretly worried about.
In a big family, has she rarely seen the fight between wives and concubines?
That is to say, the Shao family is special, so the two sisters have no ideas for the time being, but Shen Tang is different.
Shen Tang has just turned 20 and has already achieved such achievements. In the future, the Shen Mansion will definitely be a giant.
Murong Hui had already known about the naming of those little girls from Shao Muyu's letters, but she didn't take it to heart.
Speaking of which, those little girls are just vassals of people like Liu Xiangling. Even if they are favored in the future, they will not have any impact on their own daughters.
In other words, only Liu Xiangling and the princess can affect their daughter's status.
Liu Xiangling didn't care, she knew a lot about Liu Xiangling. This girl had a weak temperament, and she and her daughter had been friends since childhood.
The most important thing is that although Liu Xiangling's mother has been found now, there is no one else at home.
In other words, Liu Xiangling does not have a natal family.
In this way, it doesn't matter to my daughter whether she is successful or not.
However, the princess was different.
First of all, although he is from the Jin Kingdom, he is still the princess.
In the Song Dynasty, she was no worse than a princess.
As a result, his daughter will naturally be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, since he is the princess, the family's influence is naturally quite large.
At least, it is definitely not comparable to the Shao family, the current merchant family.
I have to say that every mother-in-law is by no means a simple person! The same is true for Murong Hui.
Not to mention the Shao family, Murong Hui's natal family was also from a wealthy family, and his marriage to Shao Xun even meant that he would marry down. Therefore, she was very aware of these things, and she naturally had to plan for her daughter.
"Mother!"
Shao Muyu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, Sister Yue is a very nice person, and she is also very good with me and Sister Xiangling.
Our business in Beidi must have improved a lot recently, wouldn't it be with the help of Shen Lang and sister Yue?
Furthermore, the relationship between me and Shen Lang cannot be replaced by others.
So, mother, just keep your heart in your belly and don’t worry about your daughter.
Shen Lang has already said that we will get married next year, and then Prime Minister Zhang will be asked to go to his home to propose marriage..."
When Murong Hui heard this, she nodded slightly.
Shen Tang didn't know about His Majesty's intention to marry, so having such a plan was enough to prove his intentions for his daughter.
Moreover, although Prime Minister Zhang is not His Majesty, he is still extremely prominent.
As the top boss in the court, he proposed marriage to Shen Tang. If there was no such thing as His Majesty's marriage proposal, it would be an excellent choice.
"Mom, aren't you worried about you being bullied..." Murong Hui nodded her daughter's eyebrows, "By the way, mother has already prepared gifts. Tomorrow morning, you need to take mother to visit Sister Cheng Ru. And the princess’s mother.”
In this regard, Murong Hui will naturally not be rude.
Moreover, although she was a latecomer, according to etiquette, it was her turn to visit.
"Will it be early tomorrow morning?"
Shao Muyu nodded, "Okay, it won't delay anything."
"how?
Do you have anything else to plan?"
Murong Hui was surprised.
When Shao Muyu heard this, he shook his head, "I don't know either, but Mr. Shen told me that some people will come tomorrow and he wants me and my eldest brother to accompany him to greet them.
Shen Lang said it’s noon, so I won’t be delayed if I think about it.”
"That's good!"
The mother and daughter got on the bed, talked some private words, and fell asleep without knowing it.
The next morning, mother and daughter got up early. After finishing dressing up, they asked the maid to bring over the gifts that had been prepared.
Afterwards, they went to visit Cheng Ru and Wulin Dashanmei respectively.
The meeting between the three mothers-in-law did not bring any trouble to Shen Tang, let alone any sparks of friction.
Murong Hui also felt a little more relieved.
I was an old acquaintance with Cheng Ru. Na Wulinda was a kind and beautiful person, and as his name suggests, even though he was from the northern country, he was extremely happy for the visit of Murong Hui and his daughter, and received the two of them with great kindness.
Actually, this is not surprising.
If the three women each have a huge family to rely on behind them, just like Murong Hui's worry, even if the three women do not fight, the families behind them will secretly fight for certain interests.
But now, there are only two mothers and daughters in the Liu family. Cheng Ru is satisfied to see that her daughter is living a good life.
What's the point of fighting over it?
As for Wanyan Yue, although Wanyan Hao is considered a powerful person in the Jin Kingdom, after all, the two countries are different, and Wanyan Hao's family will not conflict with the Shao family's interests.
Even, because of the relationship between Shen Tang and the second daughter, there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two families.
In this way, there will naturally be no hot scenes!
After visiting the two families, the mother and daughter had just turned around when they saw Shen Tang coming.
After talking for a while, Shen Tang went out with Shao Muyu, called his eldest brother Shao Youfu, and the three of them headed towards the south gate of the city.
"Husband, who are we going to meet?"
Shao Muyu was a little curious when he saw that there were only three of them.
After all, if it is to greet Shen Tang's friends or elders, at least Liu Xiangling should be present. If it is to greet other people, his eldest brother does not need to come.
However, Shen Tang smiled mysteriously, "We'll find out later."
The three of them arrived at the city gate and waited quietly.
Not long after, I saw a line of carriages rushing toward Lienli City.
On the side, Youfu could not help but be stunned, "Sister-in-law, we are not here to welcome the second child, are we?"
No wonder Youfu was surprised, because it was Shao Youcai who came to this trip.
