Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

When Chen He and his party arrived at the Taifu Mansion with their "filial tributes", Fu Xiuduan was standing at the door with her maids and guards, ready to go out, and the carriage had already stopped at the gate.

Chen He was the steward who served the emperor closely. He would come to the Fu Mansion from time to time to pass on messages, and Fu Xiuduan also knew him.

When she saw the person, before the person even came to her, she ordered the guards around her to quickly inform the mansion.

Chen He bowed his back slightly and walked up to her. "Young Miss is going out? Is the old tutor in the mansion today? I have come to give the old tutor some goodies with the instructions from His Majesty."

Sun Xiuduan returned the gift and replied, "I am going to the embroidery shop. My grandfather is in the mansion. Please come in, sir."

Young ladies from wealthy families all like to visit gold and silver shops and embroidery shops. Chen He smiled and bowed, "Young lady, just go ahead. I know the way very well. You can go to the mansion to find the old tutor yourself. Please take care."

As he said this, he led his men into the Taifu Mansion.

Sun Xiuduan watched the group of people file in, was silent for a moment, turned around and was helped into the carriage.

Mingde Embroidery Shop on Huaguang Street was the dowry shop of Sun Xiuduan's mother, Xiao Fan, and its reputation is one of the best among many cloth and clothing shops.

The shopkeeper's wife came with Xiao Fan when she married into the Sun family, and was later married to a steward in the mansion.

The shopkeeper's wife, Mrs. Tang, brought out several pieces of cloth from the warehouse.

"Miss, yesterday we received some southern fabrics, including two pieces of brocade, which are rare. I didn't put them out, but kept them to make skirts for the two young ladies."

"Yeah." Sun Xiuduan responded and walked around the embroidery shop.

Tang saw that she was distracted and did not disturb her.

Sun Xiuduan was sent out by Xiao Fan, saying that the wedding date was not far away, so he came out to pick out more fabrics to make some clothes, and also to show them to the elders and brothers and sisters in the mansion.

Also go and have a look at the gold and silver shops.

But recently she really hasn't been in the mood to go shopping.

Since his younger sister Sun Xiuying was detained in Dafan's house to help copy Buddhist scriptures, Sun Xiuduan did not invite her to join them.

A maid dressed as a maid entered Mingde Embroidery Shop. After seeing Sun Xiuduan, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss Sun, our second young lady is waiting for you in the teahouse next door. She would like to invite you to have tea with her. Can... you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Sun Xiuduan's eyes were filled with vigilance. "Your second young lady? Which family's second young lady?"

"The second young lady of Minister Fang Youan's residence."

Sun Xiuduan paused as he stroked the cloth, "The daughter of Minister Fang."

She raised her eyes to look at the maid who lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and asked meaningfully, "Is there anyone else?"

"No."

Sun Xiuduan hesitated for a moment, and his mind roughly ran through the interpersonal relationship map of the major mansions in the capital.

"Then, lead the way."

-

Mingxiang Teahouse next door, private room on the second floor.

A round-faced girl wearing a royal cloak was leaning on the second-floor railing, looking toward the door of the embroidery shop next door.

Seeing Sun Xiuduan walking out of the embroidery shop and coming towards the teahouse, she hurriedly called the maid.

"Dong Ya Dong Ya, hurry up, go to the private room across the street and call your cousin over. Remember, when the time comes, just stand at the door and don't come in. Be careful not to bump into others. And don't make any noise."

The maid named Dong Ya ran out behind her, "Got it, Second Miss. I'll be there right away."

"If your cousin ignores you, you can tell him that I forgot to bring money and I'm going to lose face, so ask him to come and help me out."

"Hey, I remember."

After a while, a maid's voice came from the stairwell, "Miss Sun, please come this way."

The "Second Miss" in the private room reacted and quickly walked to the tea table and sat down, acting like a quiet lady.

"Second Miss, Miss Sun is here."

"Come in quickly."

The door of the private room was opened. Fang Yuanyuan stood up from the table and looked at the beautiful and dignified lady standing outside the door. She couldn't help but sigh again: Her cousin is really not worthy of her...

-

Entering the teahouse, there are stairs on both sides.

Male guests usually go to the left, while ladies go to the right.

The windows of the private rooms on both sides open in different directions.

One side faces the street and the other side faces a dark alley.

Outside a male guest room, Dong Ya pulled Gu Jinghan's arm hard and dragged him out.

"Master, please hurry up. Our Second Miss is almost dying of shame and anger."

Gu Jinghan pulled back his sleeves desperately and said angrily:

"Your young lady knows that she is so ashamed and angry that she wants to die. How could you not know that? How can you be so rude and rude?"

He came here today to drink tea and chat with some classmates, but this girl came in and started arguing without even saying anything.

In order to save some face for her young lady, Dong Ya pulled the person out and then told Gu Jinghan, "My cousin, please come with me quickly. The young lady came out to treat guests and forgot to bring money. This is going to embarrass us."

Gu Jinghan didn't think it was a big deal when he heard it. He took out a silver note from his waist pouch and handed it to Dong Ya, "Here, pay the money and go back early!"

Dong Ya didn't take it, but pulled the man's sleeve and dragged him down the stairs, then dragged him up the other side of the stairs.

The guests on the first floor were all watching a show, and no matter how angry Gu Jinghan was, he couldn't shout at them loudly.

After going up to the second floor, Dong Ya pointed to the private room where Fang Yuanyuan was and waved to him.

Gu Jinghan finally figured out something fishy and thought Fang Yuanyuan was in some trouble in the teahouse, so he approached and knocked on the door.

Suddenly, I heard another female voice inside.

"Sister Sun, you are so talented and have a good family background, why would you be willing to marry my third cousin?"

Sun Xiuduan said calmly, "What do you mean by asking this question, Miss Fang?"

"My third cousin, he's not as good looking as my eldest cousin, and he's not as good at writing as my eldest cousin and my second cousin. But his personality is okay. Sister Sun, don't you feel like you're losing out by marrying him?"

Sun Xiuduan was choked for a moment, thinking that this person might be the bad love affair brought by Gu San.

But it doesn't sound like that.

Fang Yuanyuan's next words really made her face turn pale and blue again.

“Since I was a child, I have never liked needlework, nor poetry, and I even less like being a housekeeper and doing the accounting.

The old lady of the Gu family is my aunt. My cousin and I have been childhood sweethearts. My mother said that when I reach the age of 15, she would ask my aunt about my marriage with my third cousin. The two families would be even closer, and my aunt would not dislike me. After all, the mansion does not need the third branch to be the head of the family...

But, there is Sister Sun..."

"Second Miss Fang!" Sun Xiuduan's chest rose and fell violently, "Do you know that the imperial decree has been issued, and my marriage with...Gu Jinghan is granted by the emperor! What do you want to do now?"

"not me……"

"Bang!!!"

The door of the private room was pushed open heavily, and Dong Ya was unable to stop it, "Cousin! Cousin! You can't go in, you..."

At this moment, Gu Jinghan's face was as black as ink, and he was so angry that even his hands were shaking slightly.

"Fang Yuanyuan, are you mentally ill? Go back to your Shangshu Mansion immediately!"

Gu Jinghan, who usually had a good temper, suddenly started swearing, and Fang Yuanyuan was silenced by the yelling.

After Gu Jinghan yelled at everyone, he pulled up the woman on the other side and said, "Follow me!"

Sun Xiuduan couldn't help but let him hold her hand, then stood up and followed him out of the private room.

After they left, Fang Yuanyuan pouted in grievance, "I haven't even finished talking yet, and you're yelling at me! You two are both bad guys!"

What was she about to say?

With such a beautiful girl like Sister Sun in front of him, my third cousin would definitely not choose her who has no good points!

By the way, let’s see if Sister Sun thinks what she said makes sense and decides not to marry her third cousin.

Well, she is a lazy girl who is not good at anything and puts eating first, so naturally she doesn't want to miss out on her third cousin, who is not relied upon by his family but can live a rich life.

But she couldn't force anyone to do anything.

Fang Yuanyuan was extremely distressed.
