Mrs. Shang blinked when she saw Shang Shisan.
"Mrs. Song, you are fine."
"Aunt Shang."
Ming Xiang spoke sweetly, smiling tenderly when he saw Mrs. Shang.
Her grandmother liked merchant girls very much, and she also had some friendships with several ladies from the merchant family. But now their husbands' families are no longer in Beijing, and they have lost contact over the years.
She was quite happy to see Mrs. Shang today.
The two chatted for a few words, and then Mrs. Shang set her sights on Song Xiang and Song Nian.
The two little girls both had outstanding looks and similar temperaments. She didn't know which one was Song Xiang, but she was very satisfied when she saw that both of them were bowing their heads slightly and being well-behaved and calm.
"Xiang'er."
"Auntie."
The British princess was also accompanied by a young man, who was none other than Ming Shiqi.
Although Ming Shiqi was not a direct descendant of the British duke, because the British duchess missed Ming Xiang, they found a reason to bring him along.
The two teenagers stood still, looked at each other and then turned away.
Mingxiang looked at Mrs. Shang and then at his aunt, and suddenly smiled.
"I have something to ask you. Let's go to the shade and let the little ones bask in the sun and stretch their muscles."
Mrs. Shang smiled and pushed Ming Xiang and the British princess away.
This left only Song Xiang, Song Nian, Shang Shisan and Ming Shiqi present.
What's surprising is that usually women in such situations are shy, but when the two boys raised their heads and looked at the beauty in front of them, the two little girls were actually more indifferent than the other.
"I brought two boxes of celadon beads with me today. I went to Chaozhongguan Kiln with my father to collect them some time ago. Although they are not valuable, they can be put in your hands and played with."
"If strung together in a chain, it can also cool down the heat in summer."
Ming Shiqi handed the small box in his hand to Song Nian, his words were gentle and aboveboard.
It is said that he and Song Nian have been engaged in marriage for a long time, but they only met today.
In the past, although he had received and sent gifts several times through Hongyan, his family's hand, he still didn't know whether the other person was round or flat. Now that we have the opportunity to meet each other, Ming Shiqifang is relieved.
He is not a person who loves sex. It can be seen that Song Niansheng is delicate and beautiful, and he feels even more pity in his heart.
"Thank you. I didn't bring back any gifts today. I'll give you another one when I get back to my house."
Song Nian looked towards Ming Shiqi slightly. Although his face was pale, his pretty face was stained with a thin layer of scarlet color when he opened his mouth.
She has always known the other person's character, but if he always thinks about her, she will inevitably be touched by her heart and feel tenderness.
"You and I, there is no need to be polite."
Ming Shiqi spoke softly, but the sense of exclusivity in his words was not small.
Shang Shisan smiled lightly and felt happy.
He looked at the other party, then looked up at Song Xiu who was behind Song Nian, and said with a smile: "I was rude to Miss Song just now, come down and apologize."
Shang Shisan walked sideways to Song Xiang, looking at the other person's indifferent expression as before, he couldn't help but touch his nose.
Somehow, he felt that the little girl didn't like him very much.
But Shangzi has always been brave enough to take action. He had a good impression of Song Xiang in his heart, so he didn't hold back and asked the question first.
"The two palaces of Shang and Song Dynasty intend to get married. What do you think about this marriage?"
"I like you very much, are you willing? If you are willing to stay past the Spring Banquet, I will go to your house to propose marriage."
The young man's tone was determined and high-spirited, and his eyes were full of openness and generosity.
Ming Shiqi and Song Nian were startled by his words. Song Nian blushed, while Ming Shiqi looked at Shang Shisan and secretly admired them.
The man is bold and open-minded, which is really admirable.
Although Song Nian was not loved by her parents since she was a child, and she was born with a somewhat cold temperament, she was still a girl who had just gotten her haircut. It was inevitable to feel a little bold when she heard such passionate words from a young girl.
She was worried about Song Xiang for a moment and couldn't help but look up at her.
Ming Shiqi thought that Song Xiang would run away in shame, while Shang Shisan thought that the other party would just say that the marriage would be decided by the government.
While waiting for a vague response from the girl's family, Song Xiang said for the first time: "Yes, if the two governments agree, you can come and propose marriage."
Shang Shisan raised his eyes in surprise and saw Song Xiang's eyes were as clear as water, showing neither the shyness of his daughter's family nor the coquettishness of being ashamed of being in love.
Although the elders of the two houses looked after the two of them, and there were elders on their side at the moment, Song Xiang's magnanimous appearance also made Shang Shisan a little...
Shy.
The young man stared into the little girl's eyes. He was quite fascinated by the fact that she was more open-minded than a grown man like him.
Anxiety tugged at the jade belt around his waist, Shang Shisan pursed his lips and smiled softly.
It was strange that he felt attracted to Song Xiang just by looking at her. This girl's temperament was really to his liking.
The young man raised his hand and scratched the back of his head casually as if to hide his shame, and suddenly said softly: "Then I will go to your house to propose marriage the day after tomorrow. Whatever you like, if there is anyone I like, I will also find it and give it to you."
"What about celadon beads? Do you like them?"
Ming Shiqi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and Song Nian curled up his hands holding the box, feeling quite embarrassed.
"No need, just comply with the regulations."
Shang Shisan smiled brightly: "Okay."
Ming Xiang and Mrs. Shang were watching from the shade, and they could see Shang Shisan's dazzling smile from a distance.
When the British princess saw this, she said to the merchant: "Congratulations, look at this. Good things for the family are about to come."
"We are all happy together. When the time comes, you can give me some noodles and come to my house for a cup of wedding wine."
After Mrs. Shang finished speaking, she covered her lips and smiled again: "It's impossible to say that I have to go to your house to ask for a wedding drink first."
The marriage in these two houses was settled, and when the spring banquet was over, everyone was beaming with joy.
When Heng Zhi told Song Wan what happened today, Song Wan covered his lips and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"I never thought that Xiu'er would have such a straightforward temper."
The sisters in her family were young when she came out of the cabinet, and they didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays. Song Wan never thought that Xiu'er, who was usually quiet and aloof, could be so decisive in handling life-long affairs.
"I think the marriage between the third girl and the second-bedroom sister is going to be very close."
Song Wan nodded, sincerely happy for his sisters.
"How about recruiting? Is Third Aunt and Mrs. Qi going to do anything today?"
Before Heng Zhi could answer, Heng Wu spoke first: "I don't know, Madam, but the third lady had a very lively chat with the Mistress of Qi Mansion today. The young eunuch in the palace said that the two of them are as good as biological sisters, and they are so harmonious. .”
"I don't know if it's because no one dared to get close to the two of them at the banquet. The servant heard the eunuch's report and said that they were waiting to see the end of the spring banquet, but they still couldn't bear to separate."
"It seems that the third aunt has really taken a liking to the Qi family and is determined to get Zhao'er to marry them."
Heng Zhi said: "I remember that the empress once said that the Qi Mansion would not be successful."
"Who can't?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qianyu walked in from outside.
Heng Zhi, Heng Wu and the people who were waiting at the side all voluntarily stepped back as before, leaving the purity of the house to Song and Wan.
"We're talking about Zhao'er's marriage to the Qi family."
Shen Qianyu was not interested in this. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he stepped forward and held Song Wan in his arms: "The sky is getting dark, does Wan'er still remember what you promised me during the day?"
