The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were ready to leave the house and go to the house of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Revenue.

However, just after reaching the second door, a little maid in a goose-yellow dress trotted over and said, "The prince, the princess, Master Tao and Mrs. Tao, members of the household department, are here."

Shen Wan, "...???"

She and Xie Jingyan were going to Master Tao's house. Why did Master Tao and Mrs. Tao come?

The two of them walked forward and saw Manager Zhou leading Mr. Tao and Mrs. Tao from a distance.

Even though they were far apart, Shen Wan could feel the uneasiness between the two of them.

As Shen Wan guessed, Mr. Tao couldn't sleep at night after receiving the greeting card from Prince Ling's Mansion.

It is completely unclear why Prince Ling's Mansion sent a greeting card to Tao Mansion. Their Tao Mansion is so virtuous and capable. Moreover, not only Prince Ling is going to visit, but the pregnant Princess Ling is also going to their home.

Master Tao and Mrs. Tao pondered over the greeting invitations for a long time. Normally, sending greeting invitations would not be a bad thing, but good things would not be their turn. Tao Mansion, Mrs. Tao was thinking that Shen Wan was pregnant, and Tao Mansion was too far away from Prince Ling's Mansion. It was far away, so it was better not to let Princess Ling rush to their Tao Mansion. She was pregnant and sat in a carriage for a long time, and her good mood turned bad.

The Tao family can't afford to offend these noble people. No, they came to Prince Ling's Mansion early.

Manager Zhou led them over and Shen Wan said, "We have something to go to the mansion. Why did Lord Tao and Mrs. Tao come to our Prince Ling's mansion?"

Mrs. Tao smiled hurriedly and said, "The princess is pregnant and should not be tired. If anything happens, we will come to Prince Ling's Mansion as well."

Shen Wan chuckled, "This is different."

...is there any difference?

Mrs. Tao didn't understand.

She looked at Master Tao, could they go back and wait to welcome Prince Ling and Princess Ling?

Master Tao looked at Xie Jingyan and said cautiously, "Then... shall we go back and wait for the prince and princess?"

Xie Jingyan said, "That's not necessary."

Shen Wan said, "Master Tao, Mrs. Tao please."

No one in power had ever been so polite to them. Master Tao and Mrs. Tao were both a little frightened.

In Kyoto, a city full of powerful people, being a fifth-rank official is really not worth mentioning.

Shen Wan invited them to Mo Yuxuan, Master Tao hurriedly said, "The prince and princess invite you."

Even if they had some courage, they wouldn't dare to walk in front of Prince Ling and Princess Ling.

Mr. Tao has not yet been to the imperial court, but he has heard about King Ling's disobedience to the emperor and his refusal to respond to the emperor's summons. How can he dare to make excuses in front of King Ling?

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan did not embarrass them. They entered the main hall and asked Master Tao and Mrs. Tao to sit down.

When the maid brought tea, Master Tao couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if Prince Ling and Princess Ling sent the invitation to our Tao Mansion...?"

Shen Wan said, "We are sending invitations to the house because we want to propose marriage to the eldest girl in the house for my Yun family cousin."

Mr. Tao, "...???"

Mrs. Tao, "...???"

Propose marriage?

The two looked at each other.

They were all confused.

They speculated for half the night yesterday, thinking about various possibilities, but they never thought about proposing marriage.

How could he propose marriage?

Although the Yun family is just a family of merchants and no one is an official in the court, the Yun family is different from what it used to be. They are no longer as high as they could reach from a fifth-grade official family.

The in-laws of the Yun family are the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the Rites Minister's Mansion, the Yanping Prince's Mansion, and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. They are all very powerful, so why would they like the Tao family?

If they are going to get married, won't their daughter become a sister-in-law with the Qinghe County Lord in the future?

Mrs. Tao felt that she was dreaming. Covered by cloud sleeves, she pinched her index finger with her thumb.

pain.

Not dreaming.

But Mrs. Tao still didn't believe it. She looked at Shen Wan and said, "How could the Yun family fall in love with their little girl?"

Shen Wan really didn't know why the second cousin fell in love with Miss Tao. She didn't find a chance to ask. She said, "Mrs. Tao, don't worry. My second cousin has a good character. I can guarantee this."

When selecting a son-in-law, family background, talent, education, and appearance should all be considered, but character is the most important thing.

If you marry a person with bad character, it will be useless no matter how good you are in other aspects.

Mrs. Tao said, "Although I have never met Mr. Yun Er, I believe it will be good to have Prince Ling and Princess Ling help with the matchmaking."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "So Lord Tao, Mrs. Tao, has agreed to betroth his daughter to my second cousin?"

Master Tao and Mrs. Tao looked at each other.

I don’t know if I should agree immediately.

They didn't know who Young Master Yun was, so they agreed to marry him without asking. It was too hasty. However, it was Princess Ling who was the matchmaker for Young Master Yun. If they didn't agree, this would spread, and they would be afraid that in the future No one would dare to ask to marry their daughter.

Mr. Tao said, "It is my blessing that the Yun family is interested in my daughter. What's more, Princess Ling helped my daughter out of trouble before and was kind to her. But I don't understand that each person who is married to the Yun family is more noble than the other. How could the Yun family fall in love with my daughter who is a fifth-grade official..."

This is because they have to find out why the Yun family likes their daughter before they agree to marry her.

Marrying a daughter is a lifelong event, and it is normal for parents not to take it lightly. Shen Wan would not like it if she wanted to directly agree to the marriage.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Are Master Tao and Mrs. Tao just confused about this?"

...I don’t dare to have more.

Mrs. Tao nodded.

Shen Wan asked, "Has Mrs. Tao seen the set of jewelry that Princess Shouchun likes Miss Tao?"

Weren't we talking about marriage? Why did we suddenly switch to jewelry?

Mrs. Tao didn't understand why Shen Wan changed the subject, but she still said truthfully, "I've seen it before."

Shen Wan asked, "Mrs. Tao, does she know who gave that set of jewelry to the eldest girl in the house?"

Mrs. Tao shook her head, "My daughter said she was a friend. Because Li Jing couldn't go to Jinbao Pavilion to pick up the set of jewelry, I gave her the list and asked her to pick it up."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "That's true. When my second cousin went to Northwest Wei's house to discuss the horse business for the imperial court, he really couldn't get the jewelry."

Mrs. Tao, "...!!!"

That set of jewelry belongs to Master Yun Er? !

Because the set of jewelry was very beautiful, she didn't think much about it, thinking that the friend her daughter mentioned was a girl, but it turned out to be the second young master of the Yun family.

Mrs. Tao was so embarrassed that she couldn't sit still.

How can the daughter of a boudoir have a private relationship with her foreign husband?

If Master Yun doesn't have time to pick up the jewelry himself, he can ask his servants to pick it up, or even ask Princess Ling to help. No matter what, it won't be her daughter's turn.

No matter how stupid Mrs. Tao is, she should know that the jewelry is for her daughter.

All the valuable jewelry was collected, which shows that her daughter likes Master Yun Er.

If she knew that if she kept asking, she would find out about it, Mrs. Tao wished she had come without her mouth.

Shen Wan looked at Yinshuang, who took out a brocade box.

Inside the brocade box is a pair of Pisces pendants.

This is the engagement token that Shen Wan chose for her second cousin.

Shen Wan picked up one of the pieces and handed it to Mrs. Tao.

Mrs. Tao endured the burning on her face and stood up to take the jade pendant.

On the other piece, Shen Wan told Haitang, "Send this jade pendant to the Yun family."
