Chapter 1188: Meng Xian Visits
Shen Nanzhi didn't have much decision about his marriage, no matter how Shi was educated, Shen Nanzhi grew up in such an environment of "the words of the matchmaker of her parents", not so much that she was Buddhist, but that Shen Nanzhi still felt that her husband first had to get Shi's eyes and be able to fulfill his filial piety to Shi.
The eldest brother introduced Meng Zhe to her, Shen Nanzhi is also a little shy, Meng Zhe she has seen, with a white face, a small single eyelid, a high nose bridge, and a look that can only be called Zhou Zheng, but the whole body is full of a noble atmosphere that people cannot despise. Such a son was born in the Earl's Mansion, and most of them will inherit the title in the future, and after a few interactions, Shen Nanzhi also felt that Meng Zhe was really gentle - at least compared to the lack of assertiveness he noticed when he got along with Qi Yuan, Meng Zhe was much better.
So Shen Nanzhi did not express dissatisfaction with such a decision, after all, in her heart, the practicality of her husband is greater than the ornamental, as long as Meng Zhe is a practical husband candidate, she has no big opinions.
It's just that I haven't been able to find a chance to invite the two brothers and sisters to my home, and after delaying it again and again, I entered the summer.
Every now and then, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but think of Lu Yunqi - when he was about to talk about marriage, he realized that this kind of guy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world is not the first person to live together, and it is no wonder that he is so good, but he has not married a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty!
Since leaving the palace in the northern suburbs, the honey fruit from Lu Yunqi is gone, Shen Nanzhi still goes to school in Hanlin, but he never sees Lu Yunqi's people, I don't know what he is involved in at this time, and he is like a green dragon who sees the beginning but not the end.
Shen Nanzhi took advantage of the solar term of Qixi to make an appointment with Meng Xian, to say that Meng Xian is also an extremely transparent person, Shen Nanzhi wrote on the letterhead, "I said goodbye to the palace, except for meeting in the school, I haven't been with my sister for a long time, my brother praised Meng Er's brother for his knowledge when he caused his sister to be similar, and specially invited his sister to come to Shen's house to play", Meng Xian immediately replied: "I went to Shen's house alone, the road was far away, so I had to work hard to send my second brother to see him off, and I hope my sister will not be surprised."
In this way, he used the reputation of picking up and dropping off his sister to and from the Shen family, and outsiders knew that they would have nothing to say, so that even if they couldn't do it in the future, they wouldn't be like they were talking about the Qi family at that time.
Looking at Meng Xian's reply, Shen Nanzhi almost burst into tears: Qi family, Qi family, look at you, it's understandable that your family can't marry a good daughter-in-law! There are only two words at the bottom of it: deserved!
On the day of the meeting, Meng Xian came early, and when she asked Shi Shi to say goodbye, it was rare to wait for Lord Qiu to rest today, Meng Zhe really didn't want to miss it, so she went to visit Mr. Qiu early in the morning, and only said that she would come to Shen Mansion early to "pick her up" after the visit. Shi nodded with a smile, and the two went back to Anyuan together.
Speaking of which, this was Meng Xian's first time in the Shen Mansion, and she was very happy like a bird that had been released.
Before Shen Nanzhi could pull Meng Xian to eat snacks, Meng Xian beckoned first, and asked the little girl who came with her to come up with a few brocade boxes: "The first time I came to your house, I brought some gifts to Sifeng and Zhixia!" β
"Where do you need to give them something!" Shen Nanzhi exclaimed.
"How can I say that I am also their little aunt's best friend, I am sisters with you, am I also their aunt? It's rare to come to your house once, and I can't afford to be rude! Meng Xian wrapped her elbow around Shen Nanzhi's arm, "Things are not valuable, the girls are just jewelry, the gifts of the two boys are the ink I bought from my second brother!" β
Shen Nanzhi thought about it, he also regarded himself as a good friend to be like this, but he didn't expect that the courtesies of the noble family were so thorough, why was a certain Duke's Mansion not as good as the Earl's Mansion before......
She smiled: "Cheng Cheng Cheng, I'm welcome anyway!" β
The two laughed for a while, Shen Nanzhi asked someone to bring the snacks and mung bean soup that had been prepared long ago, and after lunch, Meng Xian was so sleepy that she was fighting with her eyelids, Shen Nanzhi couldn't laugh, so she pulled her and the two of them to bed together for a nap.
When she was sleeping in bed, Meng Xian talked about her own affairs these days.
It turned out that Meng Xian had already reached the end of the year, and now the family was also discussing family affairs for her. The concubine of the Earl's Mansion naturally has to take it seriously, and the uncle and the lady of the Earl's Court are all upright people, even the daughter cannot use the marriage as a political tool, so she has worked hard for Meng Xian's family affairs these days.
She was born good-looking, and very smart, and she didn't worry about marriage or not, but it was a little embarrassing - Mrs. Bai meant that being a sister always had to be behind her brother, they wanted to make Meng Zhe a relative first, but Meng Zhe was a dead eye, saying that even if she wanted to say that she was married, she would first decide to be married, and then she would marry after she had obtained fame.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but smile: "When you get famous, the family affairs you talk about will naturally go to the next level!" If you want to wait until then, you won't be in a hurry to get married at this time! β
Meng Xian pursed her lips, "You little girl, I really can't tell that I'm ordering you!" β
Shen Nanzhi was stunned for a moment - she really didn't hear anything?
Meng Xian was angry and scolded Shen Nanzhi for being a smart person on weekdays, but she was stupid in this matter, so she no longer talked around the bend with her, but talked about her own affairs.
According to what she said, her uncle chose a family for her, and in the south was the second son of a hussar general, named Jia Mingchen, although the second son was seventeen or eighteen years old, he had already fought on the battlefield with his father and brother.
Shen Nanzhi thought about Jia Mingchen carefully, he had met him at the banquet last year, and the reason why he was impressed was only because this Jia Mingchen had a face that was better than a woman!
She was stunned: "Oh! General Jia Xiao, I know, but, but that appearance is also a little better-looking, Sister Xian, it should be very insecure to marry this kind of man...... Not to mention a military attachΓ©......"
Meng Xian glared at Shen Nanzhi, and her face turned red rarely. Shen Nanzhi immediately understood - sure enough, good looks are good! Even a proud woman like Meng Xian couldn't help but blush at the appearance of General Najia.
She sighed with a sigh: "Marriage is as important as reincarnation in our daughter's family, sister, don't be confused!" But you can't look at General Jia Xiao's good-looking appearance and agree to it, what is his character? What's the family style? Is there a concubine room? You have to inquire about all of this! β
Meng Xian couldn't help but smile and twist Shen Nanzhi's cheeks: "You little girl!" But I think a lot for me, and you have to think about it for yourself......"
