After Xilin conspired with his cousin, his cousin did not explain to him what the big gift was. He knew that his cousin didn't need him for this matter.

He returned home. This was his new residence in the capital. This disaster put him under too much pressure and made a lot of money. It can be said that because of this incident, he was able to secure his position in the Xi family. No one can question the position of the future head of the family.

When he got home, he started writing a letter to his grandfather. There was one thing for which he needed his grandfather's permission.

Fang's main courtyard

Mr. Lei has been riding on a flying cloud chariot these days. I don't know whether he is happy or unhappy.

Lei Shi was confused.

What if I am wrong about this?

"Mother Qin, try to find a way to make an appointment with Mrs. Hou."

"Madam, we are the bride's family. If we are in a hurry to meet the Marquis, we will inevitably be looked down upon."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Madam, Mrs. Hou has the habit of going to temples to worship Buddha, why don't we go and meet by chance?"

Lei did what she said, and after asking someone about the time for Shang to worship Buddha, she started to prepare.

Palace

Zhu Gaoyong came into the palace today to visit his mother-in-law. Unsurprisingly, he heard Concubine Yi nagging him.

"Can you go to the study room to study today?"

"Did you go to see your father?"

"Has your father assigned you a mission?"

Every time Zhu Gaoyong came over, Concubine Yi would ask this question. He was used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Concubine Yi had no choice but to persuade him to make progress so that he could become the emperor's right-hand man in the future.

"Look at that man named Wen Chengxiu. Just by opening his mouth, your father has been thinking about him for a long time. Can't you let your mother and concubine open her eyes?"

Concubine Yi spoke sentence by sentence, but Zhu Gaoyong didn't take it seriously, but ate the grapes on the table leisurely.

Concubine Yi lost her temper when she saw him. This son, who had been caught with a jade abacus since he was born, was disliked by the emperor.

When I grow up, it is really useless.

The other princes knew every article by heart, but he actually started doing business.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, he really wants to piss himself off.

"You can't do this, but you can't do that. You should be able to marry a wife."

As soon as he said this, Fang Xirou flashed in Zhu Gaoyong's mind. If she could become his wife, how interesting would his life be?

"Mother, do you have anyone to choose?"

Seeing her son chatting with her, Concubine Yi thought it was right.

"Recently, the eldest princess came into the palace, and she said intentionally or unintentionally that there was a nice girl in the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, and she played very well with Fu Bao."

Zhu Gaoyong said: "It is indeed good to have a girl in the Fang family."

"You agreed?"

If it were her, it would be okay.

It's just that her marriage to the Wen family... is a bit tricky, but it wouldn't be difficult to break it up.

When Concubine Yi saw that her son was loose, she felt happy and started to get people ready.

It's just that the two people are not talking about the same person.

As for the Fang family, after the Lei family met with the Fang family, they each felt at ease.

When Lei returned home, she started to prepare things for Xi Rou. This time, she was not stingy and asked people to make clothes and jewelry for her.

Today, the jewelry store just delivered the jewelry, first to Lei's side, who asked someone to invite Fang Xirou over.

Fang Shurou looked at the things in the room and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Mom, it's just asking her to marry a dude. Are you so concerned about it?"

"Shu Rou, just talk about this at home in the future, just don't say it outside."

Fang Shurou curled her lips, she still understood this point.

Lei Shi educated: "My mother naturally has her reasons for doing this. You should learn more. When you marry into the royal family in the future, you must make people speechless when you are outside."

"understood."

"By the way, mother asked you to coax the little princess recently, how is it?"

Mentioning this, Fang Shurou said: "Okay, the little princess said she would take me into the palace in a few days to pay her respects to Concubine Yi."

Lei Shi said in surprise: "When did it happen? Why did you tell me today? You girl, you and your mother are still hiding it."

Fang Shurou didn't say it was because of Zhu Gaoyong. She had occasionally met him recently, but he was cold and indifferent to her and didn't care much about her.

Mother and daughter were talking when Xirou came in.

Fang Sheng was not here, so Lei didn't need to act, so she told him simply and clearly.

"The Yongchang Marquis Mansion is already preparing to invite a matchmaker to discuss the marriage. Please stay well and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, mother."

Fang Xirou's well-behaved attitude recently made Lei Shi feel confused, but then thinking about it, she probably accepted her fate.

Just accept your fate and save yourself the trouble.

"As long as you are good, mother will never treat you badly. Come and take a look. This is the jewelry that mother made for you."

Xirou glanced at it and found that there was nothing outstanding about it.

Lei didn't say anything, but Fang Shurou didn't like her indifferent attitude and said, "What? Mother worked so hard to create your dowry, why don't you thank mother?"

Fang Shurou's attitude was very high, as if she was already the ninth prince's concubine.

Fang Xirou raised her eyebrows and said worriedly: "Have you seen anyone from the Wen family recently, my second sister? I wonder if Wen Chengxiu... is feeling better?"

"It turns out I was worried about him."

One sentence actually made Fang Shurou let down her guard.

"Eldest sister and brother-in-law have a deep relationship. If you are really worried, it is better to go to the Marquis Mansion to visit the patient."

Xirou's face was anxious and she said, "Is it okay?"

Lei Shi secretly glared at Fang Shurou. She was not engaged yet, so why did she ask for advice?

"She already has skin-to-skin contact with him, why does she need to be talked about again?"

Seeing that Lei Shi was unwilling, Xi Rou lowered her head slightly and said, "If mother doesn't want to, then that's it."

Fang Shurou thought for a moment and then said: "Mother, Mrs. Hou's birthday will be in a few days. Then, in the name of celebrating her birthday, she can go to the Hou's Mansion to visit her."

This time, Lei felt it was feasible.

"alright."

After Xirou left, Lei Shi even praised Fang Shurou: "My daughter has really grown up and her ideas are much more tactful."

"That is, it doesn't matter whose daughter it is."

three days later

Xi Rou followed Lei to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. She first met with Wen Shang to pay tribute to her. Wen Shang didn't pay attention to her as a little girl. Instead, after seeing the ceremony, she was thrown into the heap of the Wen family's female relatives. Inside.

She recognized all the female members of the Wen family, and they looked at her as if they were a joke. Xirou didn't take it seriously. After all, she would not have any interactions with them in the future.

"The sixth brother is still recovering from his injuries today, otherwise he would have come out to meet Miss Wen." Shang Keyun, the second daughter-in-law of the Shang family, seemed to be deliberately testing. After all, the girl in front of her is probably their sixth brother and sister. .

I wonder what the temperament of this sixth sibling is?

Xirou came today just to see Wen Chengxiu. She said, "Is the Sixth Young Master sick? Is it still serious?"

"It's hard to say whether it's serious or not. Miss Fang, would you like to take a look?"

Shang's daughter Wen Yuxin said:

"Second sister-in-law, when you ask this question, she must be afraid that the death of Brother Six will affect his ability to ascend to heaven."

"Xiao Qi, don't talk nonsense."

"There's nothing wrong with that. She's just..."

Xirou suddenly looked at Wen Yuxin and said, "Miss Wen Qi, do you know what rank the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is in the current dynasty?"

Xirou knew the Wen family well. Because they were deliberately suppressed, not many of their descendants became talented.

Even the Marquis, his official rank is not high.

In comparison, Fang Sheng's official rank is indeed higher than that of the Hou Mansion.

Miss Wen Qi said: "We are from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and we have titles."

Yes, there is only one title.

Miss Wen Qi seemed to have come to her senses and wanted to retort, but she heard Shang Keyu say: "Sister Qi, please stop saying a few words, today is my mother's birthday."

Wen Yuxin snorted coldly and did not reply.

In order to calm down the farce, Shang Keyu said: "Miss Fang, let's go, I will take you to see the sixth brother."
