A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

On the third day of the eighth month in the thirteenth year of Yongping, the old dowager of Prince Ning's Mansion celebrated her fiftieth birthday.

Prince Ning held a grand banquet for his mother, and most of the noble families in the capital came to congratulate him.

In the carriage, Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu sat opposite each other.

Su Qingyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Shen Cong and Shen Ke riding horses outside, and said, "Be careful not to bump into anyone. This city is not a riding ground."

Shen Cong was always steady and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

Su Qingyu lowered the carriage curtain and sighed, "Time flies by so fast. Cong'er is already sixteen years old. I was sixteen when I married the Third Master. When Cong'er's marriage is settled, won't I become a mother-in-law? Isn't that old?"

Time really is unforgiving.

Shen Zhixiu, who was sitting opposite Su Qingyu, was dressed in a light ink-colored brocade robe with dark patterns, looking gentle and elegant.

Hearing her say this, Shen Zhixiu leaned forward to take a closer look, "Madam, you look to be in your early twenties."

During this period of time, Su Qingyu often expressed such feelings, and Shen Zhixiu always responded and comforted her seriously.

Of course, what he said was not wrong. Although Su Qingyu was over 30 years old, she was slender and had fair skin. She had a bit of the nobleness and grace of a woman, but she was definitely not old.

"Mom isn't old at all. If I go out with her, people will think we are siblings."

Six-year-old Shen Zhang is always sweet-talking and acts coquettishly on Su Qingyu.

He is the third son of Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu, and the eighth young master of the Shen family.

Shen Fu, who was standing by, stood up and walked to Shen Zhang, then reached out and pulled him up.

"You've pressed down my hair. You've been acting like a spoiled brat to me all day long, aren't you ashamed?"

Shen Fu had a pink and tender face, and could be seen as a pampered young lady from an aristocratic family. But as soon as she opened her mouth, her temper was exposed.

Shen Fu pinched her waist, looking like she was going to beat up Shen Zhang if they had a disagreement.

Shen Zhixiu held his daughter in his arms and said softly, "Your third brother has this kind of personality. Dad will teach him slowly."

Su Qingyu glanced at her daughter and said, "These two children were born together, why do they have opposite personalities?"

"Third Master, what exactly went wrong?"

She and Shen Zhixiu both wanted a well-behaved daughter, but for a son, they hoped he would be strong, resilient and independent.

When the two children were born, Shen Fu cried loudly, while Shen Zhang cried like a cat.

The older we get, the more obvious the difference in our personalities becomes.

Shen Fu spent the whole day either climbing walls or trees. She could even chase the birds in the yard for half a mile.

On the other hand, Shen Zhang always talked about his mother and would cry easily because of grievance. But his second brother loved to tease him the most and he would cry five times in three days.

Shen Zhixiu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He hugged his daughter lovingly and said, "Giving birth to a child is not like carving a stone statue. How can they all have the same temperament?"

"I think it's good. The house is very lively."

"Besides, Fu'er is still young, she will be fine when she grows up. Look at Wanwan, she and Qin Yuan are living in harmony now."

Su Qingyu turned her head away. It would have been fine if she didn't mention Song Wanwan, but she became even more worried when she mentioned Song Wanwan.

After the Duke of Zhenguo left, Song Wanwan's two sisters-in-law insisted on dividing the private property of the third room. The sisters-in-law of the Qin family quarreled over the property.

In a fit of rage, Song Wanwan beat up her two sisters-in-law.

Fortunately, the King of Loyalty doted on his daughter, and Qin Yuan spoiled his wife. In the end, it was useless to beat her, but Song Wanwan's reputation for evil was thoroughly spread.

Of course, Su Qingyu just said it casually. In fact, she spoils her daughter more than anyone else.

The carriage stopped at Prince Ning's Mansion, and Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu helped the two children get off.

When Su Qingyu turned around, Shen Cong and Shen Ke had disappeared. These two people came to Prince Ning's Mansion as if it were their own home.

Shen Yueying came forward, "You are finally here. My two little ones have been looking for their cousins ​​early in the morning."

Shen Zhang rushed to Shen Yue's side, "Aunt, Zhang'er misses you so much."

The two families had already let it go as the children called their elders. Shen Zhang was still calling her aunt at this moment, but would blurt out calling her third sister the next moment.

Shen Yue pinched Shen Zhang's face and teased Shen Fu.

Then he accompanied Su Qingyu and walked towards the plum garden.

Shen Zhixiu was following behind with the child.

Shen Yue took Su Qingyu's arm and said, "At the old house, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and Yuan Yi and his wife are all here."

The old lady of the Su family passed away six years ago. After the old lady passed away, Su Chengye submitted a memorial to pass the title to Su Yuanyi. During the mourning period, Su Chengye built a shed next to the Su family's ancestral tomb and guarded it for three years.

After the mourning period, he moved into the Huguo Temple and practiced as a lay disciple.

In recent years, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, Su Qingyu goes to the Huguo Temple to light lanterns for her elders and visit her father at the same time.

To Su Qingyu, the Huguo Temple had completely changed.

Three years ago, Master Ci'en passed away.

Before he passed away, he only left one sentence for his younger disciples: The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, remember it!

Everyone soon arrived at the Plum Garden Hall. When Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu brought the children in, there were already quite a few people sitting in the room.

In addition to Bai Sulian, there are also the Princess of Loyalty, Madam Qin of the Zhenguo Mansion, the third wife of the Su family, and the second wife of the current Duke Zhao Ji of the Weiguo Mansion.

Su Qingyu and the others bowed, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went out with Shen Zhixiu and the children.

When I arrived at the garden, I met Su Shunci and Lin Wuchen again.

The two sisters went to a pavilion on the side to talk privately, while Lin Wuchen and Shen Zhixiu stood under a tree not far away.

Lin Wuchen whispered, "The Emperor intends to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take over government affairs. Isn't he a little young? He's only twelve years old."

In recent years, Lin Wuchen's career has been smooth and he has become the Minister of Revenue. Of course, Su Shunci is also very wealthy. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the richest woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shen Zhixiu was not surprised. He had known what the emperor was thinking years ago.

He said: "The Emperor has been reviewing memorials since the Crown Prince was five years old. The Emperor was merciful enough to allow him to participate in government affairs when he was twelve."

Lin Wuchen sighed, "This job is getting more and more difficult. I might as well retire and go home to let my wife support me."

He always felt that Shen Zhixiu's life in the past ten years was like a god's life. Unlike him, he was more tired than the cows and horses in the countryside.

While they were chatting and laughing, they heard someone passing on a message.

It was said that the emperor, the empress, and several princes and princesses had come.

Everyone went out to greet them. Song Hongshen and Su Zhilan went into the house first to wish Lin Wanyin a happy birthday, and then the sisters of the family gathered in the garden to talk.

While Shen Zhixiu was chatting with Song Hongshen, he saw the twelve-year-old prince giving Shen Fu a bracelet with a white jade carved hibiscus flower not far away.

Shen Zhixiu stepped forward defensively, "Your Highness, boys and girls over seven years old should not sit at the same table."

Of course, such scenes often happen, and only Shen Zhixiu is on guard. He is not on guard against the prince, but against all the little boys who get close to Shen Fu.

The prince said seriously: "Isn't she only six years old?"

Then he asked Shen Fu, "Fuer, do you want to go get the bird eggs?"

Shen Fu immediately became interested, "Let's go, just like last time, I'll ride on my cousin the Crown Prince."

As she spoke, she skillfully jumped onto the prince.

Shen Zhang has always been accused by his two brothers of being unmanly, but today he got really angry.

He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Fu and said, "Sister, you can ride me, I can handle it."

Shen Fu looked at him with disdain and pushed him away, "No, you are too weak."

The prince bent down and carried Shen Fu on his back, saying loudly, "Fu'er, lie down firmly, let's go."

The twelve-year-old child ran away in a flash.

The final result was that the prince carried Shen Fu on his back to find the bird's nest, and Shen Zhang ran after him, crying anxiously because he couldn't catch up.

Everyone was laughing so hard that they were out of breath, except Shen Zhixiu, who had a gloomy face.

Su Qingyu touched him gently, "My daughter is still young, are you too nervous?"

Shen Zhixiu snorted, "Whoever has a daughter will be nervous. If you don't believe me, ask the second son to go find Princess Yun'an. Do you think the emperor is anxious?"

Su Qingyu shook her head and smiled: "I don't know what kind of son-in-law can catch your eye."
