Su Qingyu was not surprised to hear that the emperor was visiting Prince Ning's mansion. Considering how much the emperor valued and loved her brother, it was not surprising that he personally presided over the wedding.

It was an honor for the Ning Palace to have the Emperor come in person, but at the same time, things would become complicated. Not only did the Ning Palace have to prepare to receive the Emperor, but the entire palace also had to have extremely tight security.

"I'll go and see her tomorrow and help my mother with the arrangements for two days." Su Qingyu said.

The affairs of the inner house of Prince Ning's Mansion now fell to my mother, and Aunt Lian was helping out. Although she could handle it, she was afraid that she would be too busy and make mistakes.

In the ten days before Shen Yue's wedding, Su Qingyu was busy running between the two houses.

It was not until three days before the wedding that everything at Prince Ning's Mansion was prepared, and Lin Wanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the family sat down to drink tea and chat, Lin Wanyin said with lingering fear: "Fortunately Qingyu is back, otherwise it would be difficult for me to deal with all this."

Although she had been the head lady of the Marquis's Mansion for twenty years, the Su family had already declined at that time and could not be compared with the Wang Mansion. She was also from a merchant family and did not know much about the etiquette of the aristocratic families.

Although the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department supported this marriage, there were still many complicated matters that required her to make decisions.

Fortunately, Su Qingyu has been taking care of it here for a few days, so she can finally relax a little.

Su Qingyu knew that her mother had been on high alert these days, fearing that she would make any mistakes or behave rudely.

Hearing her mother say this, she smiled and comforted her: "You just haven't been exposed to these things before. This is much simpler than running a business."

Knowing that her daughter was trying to comfort her, Lin Wanyin looked at her daughter lovingly and said with a smile: "I still like doing business."

Su Shunci, who was eating candied fruit, was wiping her fingers with a handkerchief. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I inherited this from my mother. I also like doing business."

"Don't marry me to one of these wealthy families in the future. I can't stand these rules."

After spending the past few days with her mother and sister, Su Shunci finally realized that there were so many rules for getting married. This was because Sister Yue had to observe mourning, otherwise she would have to do many times more.

Hearing Su Shunci say this, Lin Wanyin suddenly remembered what her brother Lin Wanli said yesterday. She smiled and teased her, "If you look at it this way, the Lin family is better. There are more businesses and fewer rules."

Su Shunci didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words, and said with regret: "It's a pity that I was not born in the Lin family."

If I were born in the Lin family, would I be able to be a young lady like my mother? That would be much more interesting than being a young lady in a marquis's mansion.

Lin Wanyin coughed lightly, and then said seriously: "Although you were not born in the Lin family, you can still marry into the Lin family."

Yesterday, her brother mentioned to her that he wanted to propose to Lin Ziyu, and he praised Su Shunci in his words and deeds. He wanted her to first talk to Su Shunci and Bai Sulian, and then find a chance to get Lin Ziyu to Beijing.

The two are of similar age, and if this marriage can be successful, it will be a good one.

Su Shunci had just taken a sip of tea to get rid of the sweet taste in her mouth. After hearing what Lin Wanyin said, she almost spit out the tea again.

She looked at Lin Wanyin with resentment, "Mother, I'm still young. Let's talk about it in two years. I don't want to look for a marriage yet."

During this period of time, she had been busy with shipping with Lin Wuchen, and all she could think about was the money she would make in the future. At this time, anything that would delay her from making money had to be put aside.

And once the marriage is decided, will she be confined to the inner house to learn the rules? How can she do business with her third cousin?

By then, the money would have gone into the pocket of her third cousin, and she would have suffered a huge loss.

She couldn't do a business that would lose money, so the marriage had to be postponed as long as possible.

Bai Sulian tapped Su Shunci's forehead and said, "You are not young anymore. Even if you are not in a hurry to get married, you should settle down."

Su Qingyu was a little anxious. Why didn’t her third cousin show any movement?

He is a very free and open-minded person. Procrastination is not like his personality.

When they went to the side hall to eat, Su Qingyu and Lin Wanyin walked together and asked in a low voice: "Mother, our third cousin hasn't married yet, but you've already arranged a marriage for our fourth cousin?"

"Have you ever thought about bringing together your third cousin and fourth sister?"

Not knowing what her third cousin was thinking and afraid that her mother would notice something, Su Qingyu spoke of this in a joking tone.

Lin Wanyin smiled and said, "I actually asked your uncle. Although Wuchen is a few years older than Ah Ci, they are familiar with each other, so it's not impossible."

"But for some reason, your uncle refused immediately, but he didn't say why."

Su Qingyu was puzzled. Could there be some hidden secret?

After entering the flower hall, the mother and daughter didn't talk about it anymore, and the family sat down to have lunch.

After dinner, Su Qingyu got up and prepared to go home. The Shen family still had many things waiting for her to decide.

Su Shunci saw her off and said with a smile, "Big sister, I have sent two pieces of fabric to your carriage. They are the newly delivered cloud and mist silk."

"Big sister, you can use it to make summer dresses. They are the most beautiful. They are the emerald green and lake blue colors that Big sister likes, and they also have some of the styles that are popular in Jiangnan recently. Big sister, let me take a look at it when I sew clothes, and it can also be used as a reference."

Su Qingyu suddenly remembered the shipping business after hearing this, and asked curiously, "I heard that the Jiangnan Bai family is now doing a thriving shipping business. Are the materials they ship overseas the same as those they sell to us? I wonder what styles people overseas wear."

Su Shunci was stunned at first, then he laughed.

"Big sister, this is not the material from the Bai family. I haven't gotten material from the Bai family for half a year. The cloud and mist silk this time is from another brocade merchant."

"But the materials that the Bai family shipped overseas seemed to be mostly silk and satin, especially those with complicated patterns and colors."

Su Qingyu was slightly surprised, "You're not getting materials from the Bai family anymore?"

Su Shunci nodded, "My third cousin helped me find another company and cut off my business relationship with the Bai family. But he didn't elaborate on the specific reason, so it's not convenient for me to ask more."

"I wonder if there is some dispute between the Lin family and the Bai family? I don't want to embarrass my third cousin. Anyway, as long as there is good material to sell, it doesn't matter whose family it is."

Su Qingyu didn't think much about it. Her third cousin must have his reasons for saying that.

The day before Shen Yue's wedding, her close relatives and close friends came to add makeup to her.

Early in the morning, Su Qingyu left the west courtyard and walked towards Shen Yue's courtyard.

Because the eldest wife of the Shen family was still in mourning, the servants in the mansion were busy running back and forth, but there was not a single wedding character posted or a single red silk hanging.

Su Qingyu felt a little sad. This wedding was grand yet cold.

If nothing had happened to Shen Zhiheng and his wife, Shen Yue's wedding would have surely shocked the capital. But now she could only marry in a low-key manner, and the Shen family didn't even invite guests.

When Su Qingyu arrived at Yilanzhu where Shen Yue lived, she found out that the old lady had arrived earlier than her.

The maid at the door lifted the curtain, and Su Qingyu lifted her skirt, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard the old lady telling Shen Yue, "Grandma is not worried about you marrying into the Ning Wang Mansion. Yuanzhou is a good kid, and your mother-in-law is gentle and easy to get along with."

"It's just that the situation of the Su family is complicated now. I am worried about your relationship with those people in Pingning Marquis Mansion. Your father-in-law is a confused person."
