My husband said that if his son has abilities and the Shen family has connections, he might be able to rank among the top three.
Mrs. Zhao is looking forward to it.
At this time, the son should study hard and not let other things affect him.
"Mother, I'm afraid it will be too late if we wait until next spring to bring this up." Shen Jiachuan said quickly, with a hint of eagerness on his face.
Mrs. Zhao was a little annoyed when she heard this and said: "This life-saving grace should indeed be repaid with a spring of water, but she saved your sister, not you, so there is no need for you to pledge yourself to her."
Meng Shu was nice, but Zhao still felt it was inappropriate to marry someone back home as her daughter-in-law.
My son has a gentle temperament, so it would be more suitable for him to find a lady from a scholarly family, even if his family background is lower, it doesn't matter.
The Meng family is the Duke's residence, so there is nothing to fault about it, not to mention Meng Shu. Her character is first-class, but she is not suitable for a son.
If his son marries Meng Shu, he will definitely be manipulated. His wife will tell him to go east, but he will never dare to go west.
With his son's temper, he wouldn't offend Meng Shu, but she would feel distressed if he was beaten by her.
Marrying a powerful wife to support her is not what Ms. Zhao wants to see.
She just wanted her son to marry a gentle and pleasant woman, and the couple could live a harmonious life together.
"Son... my son didn't fall in love with Caiwei because she saved her." Shen Jiachuan said with a blushing face.
He first thought that his little thoughts were well hidden, but he didn't expect that his mother knew everything.
He obviously didn't tell anyone, how did his mother know?
"Second brother...you actually like Sister Meng!" Shen Caiwei finally understood what they were talking about.
The second brother, a nerd, actually has a woman he likes, and she admires and likes Meng Shu the most. Shen Caiwei was particularly excited and said to her mother: "Mother, please help the second brother and send someone to the Meng family earlier to tell her Dear, there is no need for Sister Meng to marry King Wei. There are many people who want to ask for marriage. If it is too late, there may be no chance. "
Zhao: "..."
Both her son and daughter were drunk by Meng Shu. What could she do?
I can only agree!
After all, she also liked Meng Shu.
Although from the perspective of those who have experienced it, a girl like Meng Shu is not something that his son can control, but who makes this boy like her?
As a mother, she not only hopes that her son can live a comfortable life, but also hopes that her wishes can come true.
"Okay, I will invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage some other day. You have to be careful in writing. If you can come out first next spring and become the number one scholar, whoever marries you will also be proud." Zhao said with a smile.
The son cares so much about Meng Shu and promised to come to propose marriage. This boy should work harder.
"Don't worry, mother. My son will do his best and will never let his mother down!" Shen Jiachuan said quickly.
……
At the same time, at the Wang family in the west of the city, King Zhou Qichang of Jin was talking to his uncle Wang Zhengqian.
"My mother-in-law said that whoever marries Meng Shu will get the support of the Meng family, but I am only Shixi this year, two years younger than Meng Shu. Besides... I don't like those who wield swords and guns. Woman, the mother-in-law also feels that the Queen Mother will not marry Meng Shu to me. If the mother-in-law sends someone to come to propose marriage on my behalf, it will make the Queen Mother jealous. The life of the mother-in-law in the palace is already difficult, and she does not want to offend the old pious man. "Po, but... my mother-in-law said, uncle can give it a try."
After listening to his nephew's words, Wang Zhengqian, who had always been steady and sophisticated, his eyes widened in an instant: "Isn't your mother and concubine a bit messy? She is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family and the apple of the British father's eye. If I were ten years younger, Years old, I have never married a wife, and I still have the nerve to ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. However, I am already thirty-two years old, a full sixteen years older than others, and I have lost my wife and remarried. If I let someone come to propose marriage, , Isn’t that a slap in the face of the Meng family and trying to make enemies with them? "
I really don't know what his sister is thinking, giving random instructions.
Meng Shu is a good person, she comes from a famous family, looks like a fairy, and is a powerful person. She is more than enough to be the mistress of his Wang family.
But why should someone marry him?
If he didn't even have this kind of self-awareness, he wouldn't be able to reach such a high position now.
"Uncle, don't worry, mother and concubine have their own arrangements for this matter!" King Jin said quickly.
"Arrangements? What arrangements can she make?" Wang Zhengqian didn't believe it.
His sister is not a reliable person.
Especially in these years, she was suppressed by the Queen Mother. Her ability to save her life was also the result of her family's support.
Although the late Emperor's concubines were not many, except for the Queen Mother, all of them came from well-known families.
Even the Su family, where Princess Su lives, was much more powerful than the Xie family at the beginning.
The Xie family became famous because the Queen Mother flew onto a branch and turned into a phoenix.
This is why the Queen Mother spared their lives.
"My mother-in-law said that since Meng Shu cannot marry King Wei, the Queen Mother will definitely suppress the Meng family. The Queen Mother will definitely interfere with Meng Shu's marriage. This is also your opportunity, uncle."
Wang Zhengqian frowned tightly when he heard this.
He had to think about this carefully.
He is not a young man who just got married. After all, he is in his thirties. He has become the Minister of Rites and has joined the cabinet. He really wanted to propose marriage but was rejected again, but he could not afford to lose that person.
Others will also say that he wants to eat young grass like an old cow and has no self-awareness.
Those old guys in the cabinet will definitely laugh at him.
He didn't want to become a talking point for everyone in the capital.
But what my sister said makes sense.
The Queen Mother was very afraid of the Meng family and would never let Meng Shu marry too well.
In contrast, being his stepmother might be the best choice for the Meng family.
……
Meng Shu got up early on the third day of December.
It was snowing heavily outside, and my grandmother sent someone to tell her that the road was slippery due to the snow, so there was no need to go there to say hello in the near future.
Meng Shu practiced a set of boxing skills in the house, then washed and ate. After cleaning up, she originally wanted to go to the back room to make pills, but Su Ye said that her grandmother sent someone to invite her to Songheju.
Meng Shu quickly changed into a coat and skirt, put on a fox fur cloak and went out.
After arriving at Songheju, Grandma Qi personally greeted her and said with a loving look on her face: "Miss, please come with me."
Meng Shu followed Grandma Qi into the house, walked around from the left to the back, and sat behind the screen.
"The old lady said that the young lady should listen here first and wait until the people outside leave before going out." Grandma Qi said in a low voice.
Meng Shu nodded after hearing this. Her grandmother asked her to listen quietly here.
There were several people sitting in the room, but Meng Shu couldn't see clearly because of the screen. They also brought many people to serve, which showed that their status was unusual.
The old lady chatted with them for a few words, and Meng Shu also recognized the identities of these people. They were all wives of officials in the capital.
Everyone came to Meng's house today for only one purpose - to propose marriage.
