Chapter 319 In order to let the family live freely!
After that, Shen Lanxi also felt that she was very generous, and she actually watched others sing and chant for a quarter of an hour.
She was given the opportunity, but it was a pity that others did not cherish it.
At dinner, the Shen family gathered together. Zhang Zifen's children were all there, and no one mentioned asking for mercy from Zhang Zifen.
It seems that family affection is no match for interests after all!
Since she came back from the northwest, this is the first time she has seen so many people at home.
Shen Yuantang, who was going to get engaged tomorrow, was wearing a ring, silk and brocade, her figure had grown completely, and her eyebrows could be seen to be somewhat similar to hers.
"Sister." Shen Yuantang greeted in a soft voice.
Shen Lanxi couldn't help but frown: "You also practiced martial arts when you were in Dongchuan, why are you so delicate now?"
There is also the word "pretentious" behind "Jiaorou".
Shen Yuantang did not want to think of the days of exile in Dongchuan for a moment. Those days were simply a shame to her. Every time she walked in front of noble ladies, she felt that they were looking at her strangely, and they all felt that they were lowering their heads than other noble ladies.
Why? In the past, she was the daughter of the princess who was envied by everyone. If it hadn't been for the Shen family's trouble, she would be so famous now that she wouldn't be able to envy others.
"Sister, can you not mention the time in Dongchuan? I am a woman, and it is normal for me to be more delicate!" Shen Yuantang pinched the handkerchief and said with displeasure.
Shen Lanxi took a deep look at her, and then glanced at the other girls at home. She saw that they were all covered with pearls and jingle rings, and they were always holding a silk handkerchief in their hands, as if they were carved from the same mold. , I don’t know whether to be ironic or sad.
"Okay." After Shen Lanxi said that, she fell silent.
A few people with sharp minds noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and immediately told some interesting things about the capital to liven up the atmosphere.
After the meal was finally finished, Shen Lanxi put down her chopsticks silently and said a few words before leaving.
"I work hard outside just to make my family live a comfortable life. If any of you are dissatisfied with your marriage, feel free to come to me."
She left with her front foot, and Shen Congwen slapped the table with her back foot.
"The marriage of children in the family has been dictated by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. When did it become her turn for a woman to make the decision?"
"Brother, Lan Xi didn't say anything. Why are you patting the table?"
"Lan Xi also thinks about her family."
Shen Congwen said angrily: "What do you mean she is working hard outside? She thinks that I, the father, are just a white man, doing nothing every day, and does the entire Shen family rely on her alone to support me?"
Everyone in the Shen family fell silent when they heard what he said.
Shen Congwen yelled a few more words, but no one tried to persuade him, so he could only go back to his room angrily.
The next day was Shen Yuantang's engagement. I thought that the Jining Marquis Mansion would invite a few respectable people over, but unexpectedly only two uncles from the family and a housekeeper came. The betrothal gift for the engagement was only a few superficial things.
It didn't look grand at all in Shen Jia'er's mind.
Everyone in the Shen family looked a little ugly, but Shen Yuantang was the only one who was happily expecting to be married.
In my memory, my mother didn't care about anything and didn't care about anything. I didn't expect that after finally getting interested in my daughter's marriage, the man was so perfunctory and careless.
Even so, can the mother turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear?
Shen Lanxi overestimated her mother and her parents' love for their children.
From the beginning of the engagement to the end, it ended so hastily. Even the uncles who often disagreed with each other said a few words of dissatisfaction, but my father and mother didn't say a word.
"Sister, what do the Xue family mean? They simply don't take us seriously." Shen Yuanjing's tone was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Shen Lanxi: "Look at Yuan Tang's appearance now. If she breaks off her engagement with the Xue family, she will hate the person who broke off the engagement."
After Shen Yuanjing returned to Beijing, he didn't talk properly to his younger brothers and sisters. He still had the impression that he was a united and thoughtful family, but now he felt like he was a different person.
No matter what, this marriage, which was facilitated by the Queen, should not be so shabby even if it is to bring face to both parties, right? Shen Lanxi: "Go and check if something happened to the Xue family!"
"Yes."
In the afternoon of that day, one person quietly went to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Shen Lanxi didn't expect that she would be the first person to come to her door.
"Sister, I don't want to marry those aristocratic families. I want to marry into the Zhenbei Army."
Shen Lanxi looked at Shen Yuanruan who came to the door: "Do you have someone you like?"
Shen Yuanruan lowered his head and bent his waist slightly.
"No."
Shen Lanxi: "The Zhenbei Army did not have a comfortable life after being married to a noble family."
Shen Yuanruan seemed very nervous and kept holding on to his clothes with both hands.
I didn't see her at the engagement party before. Looking at her shabby dress, it seems that some people are very vindictive, and she did not have a good life when she returned to the capital.

"Sister, I want to marry far away." Shen Yuanruan seemed to have mustered up the courage. After saying this, his head was lower than before.
Shen Lanxi: "Have you thought it through?"
Shen Yuanruan was afraid that he would miss this opportunity, so he hurriedly said: "Think about it clearly."
She thought that when she returned to the capital, she would be the same as before, living the life of a rich young lady. She thought wrong. The people in this family were all selfish, cold-blooded and vengeful, and they wanted to rub her off every day.
A few days ago, she overheard her mother talking to her grandmother, saying that she wanted to marry her off to fill a house.
When she was in Dongchuan, didn't she just want to survive? What's wrong with her? Why can she go far away to fill a house for others when other sisters can get married to rich families?
There can be a few good ones for house filling.
The Zhenbei Army has strict military discipline, and Shen Lanxi is shocked. As long as her surname is Shen, the man who marries her will not dare to do anything to her.
Shen Lanxi: "You can marry far away, but you will not be allowed to marry a member of the Zhenbei Army. You go back and think about it carefully, and then answer me!"
Shen Yuanruan wanted to answer now, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
Where will she go if she marries far away? What if it is not used as house filling?
"Sister, may I know who you want to marry me to?"
Shen Lanxi: "Marriage is your own business. I can let you marry far away, but you choose who you marry!"
When Shen Yuanruan heard that Shen Lanxi didn't want to care about her, he felt resentful again.
Maybe she shouldn't have come.
"Cherish it, this may be one of the few opportunities you have to choose by yourself!" Shen Lanxi didn't want to look at this calculating face anymore and waved her hand to see her off.
When Shen Yuanruan was taken out, he was thinking about what Shen Lanxi just said.
After leaving the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he immediately curled his lips.
To put it nicely, if no one supports her, what good choice does she have?
If you don't want to take care of it, just say it. It's so high-sounding, bah, hypocritical.
……
Shen Lanxi received a secret report
"The imperial mausoleum caught fire, and all the people guarding the imperial mausoleum were burned to death by the fire!"
