Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 48 Mrs. Nanyang Hou sends invitation

"The Shen family? Is it the Shen family, the richest man in Luoping's imperial business?" Zhao Shun pretended not to know.

"Yes, their wife and my mother-in-law were old acquaintances in the past, and the two children have known each other since they were young. However, after the death of my wife, the two families did not have much contact. Although the Shen family is as rich as the country, after all,

It's a merchant. It's not right to be a householder. How can we get married? If your brother-in-law's colleagues knew about this, they wouldn't know how to discuss it." Mrs. Hou looked helpless.

Zhao Shun took a sip of tea and inadvertently showed a smile. Then he pretended to be an outsider and commented.

"Since I came to Luoping, I have heard a lot about the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. It is said that she was first annulled, and then the Meng family to whom she was originally married remarried her concubine. This little girl

He is quite capable, but now he and Xingze are confused again."

"That's right! How could Xingze marry a woman with such a style? I don't know what tricks that little girl used to make Xingze obsessed with her! This kid is so honest that he almost never talks back to us, because

She actually got into a quarrel with her elders, and it got like this." Madam Hou said.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about those things. Let Xingze calm down and think about it. He will figure it out." Nanyang Hou said.

After saying that, Mrs. Hou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Linchuan is not an outsider, so what's the point of saying a few words?"

Marquis Nanyang quickly picked up the tea cup to cover up his embarrassment.

Outsiders only saw Nanyang Hou as a beautiful man, but they didn't expect that at home he was henpecked.

"By the way, Linchuan, what's the good news you mentioned?" Mrs. Hou asked.

"Oh, it's like this. The border has been troubled for many years. General Wei has been stationed in the border for ten years. Now he has been recalled to the capital by Your Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty intends to grant a marriage to General Wei's daughter Wei Junqiao. There are many choices.

There are not many suitable children from aristocratic families in the capital. Later, someone suggested that Mu Houye’s only son be the most suitable one since both families come from a family of military commanders." Zhao Shun said.

Mrs. Hou was a little excited when she heard the news, "General Wei's legitimate daughter, she is the queen of a famous family!"

"Yes, it's also suitable for Xingze." Zhao Shun added.

Marquis Nanyang looked troubled: "General Wei has just been recalled to the capital. Before he can enjoy family happiness with his wife and daughter, his daughter is about to marry off to Luoping. I'm afraid there is something wrong..."

"Your Majesty thinks so too, so I want to call you back to the capital. The ancestors of the Mu family still have a house in the capital. It has been uninhabited for a long time. I will send someone to repair it later." Zhao Shun said.

"That's great! I'm finally going back to Beijing! I didn't expect that it was thanks to General Wei!" said Mrs. Hou.

"this……"

Nanyang Hou picked up the tea cup again. It seemed that he did not want to return to the capital. After all, he had stayed in Luoping for so many years.

"Brother-in-law, I know you are reluctant to leave Luoping. Your roots are here, but... because of this, you should go back. Your Mu family has been in Luoping for many years. At this time, being recalled to the capital to enjoy a casual position can make His Majesty miss you.

It's a lot of hard work, and all the relatives and friends are in the capital, but wouldn't it be wonderful to see each other all the time? Why should we bear the fear of His Majesty just because he is in power?" Zhao Shun advised.

Madam Hou looked panicked and looked at her husband, "Master Hou, what Linchuan said makes sense. We are always here in Luoping City, and we still have military power in our hands. I'm afraid it will make the officials jealous. You and I are not young either.

Now, stability is the most important thing. Now the official family intends to grant a marriage, which is also a good thing for our family."

Nanyang Hou thought about it for a while, and finally nodded. It seemed that this was the best outcome, so he could retreat and enjoy his old age.

"Today I plan to return to Beijing to report on my duties. I will be back in less than three days. I still have some trivial matters that need to be sorted out. I estimate that His Majesty's decree will be brought back to me by then. You should also sort it out and get ready. Over there at Xingze

We need to persuade him carefully," Zhao Shun said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, little Marquis." Nanyang Marquis said.

Mrs. Hou sighed at this time, thinking of her son, she felt a headache again.

"That kid Xing'er is stubborn and won't let go of anything he's determined about. I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him."

Zhao Shun chuckled, "In that case, why should we bother to persuade Xingze to give up? In my opinion, it is better for my sister to go directly to the daughter of the Shen family and tell her everything. If she really likes Xingze, she will definitely not

We will watch Xingze give up her bright future and fall into trouble with her. If she covets the power and position of the Mu family and refuses to give up, then if we try to persuade Xingze at this time, we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Mrs. Hou suddenly realized that Zhao Shun's words had completely touched her heart. It was indeed the best policy!

"Yes! If this woman refuses to give up like this, our family will not be able to have such a daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Hou suddenly became enlightened and felt that the big stone pressing on her chest fell to the ground instantly.

"If that doesn't work, why not let Xingze take her as my concubine?" Zhao Shun suggested again.

Mrs. Hou nodded, "Yes, but if you want to take her as your concubine, you have to wait until Xingze gets married. It depends on whether she is willing to wait."

When Zhao Shun and Mrs. Hou were discussing, Nanyang Hou remained silent. He just felt that it was unreasonable for these two people to scheme against a little girl like this! What's more, they had grown up watching Shen Qinglan.

-

In the afternoon, Shen Qinglan woke up from his nap. Shen Qinglan got up lazily and was going to go to the garden to take a look at how the pair of cranes were doing. If they were not doing well, they would have to learn from Qian Lingshuang.

"Yan'er! Is my goose-yellow gauze skirt washed?"

Shen Qinglan asked, and Yan'er also ran into the room.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

Yan'er held a post in her hand and said in a huff, "The boy at the front door sent it. He said it was a post given to the lady by Mrs. Nanyang Hou."

"Hmm? Madam Marquis Nanyang?" Shen Qinglan murmured.

"The young Marquis must have convinced them, so Madam Marquis invited you over!"

As Yan'er said, Shen Qinglan opened the invitation, which invited her to go to the Cherry Grove Garden of Nanyang Marquis Mansion to enjoy the flowers tomorrow afternoon.

"Mrs. Hou invited me to enjoy the flowers. Go and find out if the Nanyang Marquis Mansion has invited anyone else." Shen Qinglan said, picking up the kettle and pouring a glass of water. At this moment, she felt inexplicably flustered.

"When the post was delivered, I was watching the cranes in the middle hall, so I asked the servant to catch up with the person sent by the Nanyang Hou Mansion and inquired about him. Mrs. Hou did not invite anyone else, only the young lady."

Yan'er was very happy. She felt that there was hope for the young prince and the young lady.

Shen Qinglan didn't speak, and Yan'er sat down next to her and said, "Why does the young lady look unhappy? This is a good thing! Mrs. Hou only invited the young lady to go alone, so she must have some thoughtful things to say to her.

What did the lady say?"

Shen Qinglan shook his head, "If that's the case, a letter of greeting should be sent to my grandmother or father and mother, and they should come to the Shen Mansion to discuss the matter, instead of inviting me to meet alone at the Nanyang Marquis Mansion."

She has never heard of a woman coming alone to discuss marriage with the man's parents. What does this mean?
