2047. Chapter 2047 Planning a marriage


Shengxia Chan put all the things her mother had left for her into her warehouse, and then she told Mrs. Hou the person she wanted to contact after entering the palace.

Mrs. Hou happily went to meet her daughter. Since she had obtained the connections, she had to make preparations in advance.

On the same day, the emperor's imperial edict for the draft came down, and every family with young girls of the right age began to prepare.

Sheng Xia Ming was naturally focused on preparing for the draft, but she did not forget Liu Zongcheng and wrote a letter to the maid to send to the Minister's Mansion.

Liu Zongcheng frowned as he read the letter from his sweetheart. He became more and more disgusted with the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Sheng Xia Chan. He felt that she was selfish. She enjoyed the respect brought by the Yongxin Hou Mansion but was unwilling to take on her own responsibilities. It was really thoughtful to push my sister to participate in the talent show.

However, at the end of the letter, Sheng Xia Ming hinted that maybe her eldest sister pushed her into the palace just to snatch his marriage, so that he could make plans early, either to find a more suitable marriage partner, or to reject Yongxin Hou Mansion early. His suggestion, in short, told him to plan for himself, which made him feel that Xia Ming was too naive and didn't know how to fight back after being bullied like this.

In the end, Liu Zongcheng decided to agree to the Marquis's proposal and change his marriage partner to Shengxia Chan. Anyway, he was marrying the Marquis. It didn't matter which lady he married, as long as she was the daughter of Marquis Yongxin. In this way, he could take advantage of his husband's Identity punishes this vicious woman.

Lianyi looked at Liu Zongcheng in the dream and felt that this man was really arrogant and disgusting. She really thought that Shengxia Cicada was rushing to marry him. She probably didn't even want to see him.

However, this is also in line with the development routine of the story of sadomasochism, so she did not disturb the dream, but continued to compile the dream based on Shengxia Cicada's imagination.

When Sheng Xia Ming entered the palace for the draft, Mrs. Lao Hou called Xia Chan over.

"Chan'er, look, these are some young talents I have selected, who are worthy of you."

"Thank you grandma for planning for Chan'er."

Sheng Xia Cicada bowed, then took the name cards and looked at them one by one. Liu Zongcheng's name cards were among them, but Xia Chan ignored them.

Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed and she didn't say much.

Xia Mingchan finally pulled out a famous card and said without hesitation:

"Grandma, this newly promoted granddaughter of Kang Jiuqing, who is ranked second in the list, looks pretty good."

Mrs. Hou took one look and said:

"Kang Jiuqing is a good person, but he comes from a humble background. He only has an old mother and a younger sister at home. His family are all in his hometown of Yu Province. He is seeking an official position through his teacher. His character, talents and knowledge are worthy of you. , it’s just that this family is not rich enough.”

"Grandma, as long as he is capable and willing to make progress, it doesn't matter if his family is not wealthy. I will make the Kang family's family wealthy.

Although the father is now a sinecure, the younger sister has plans to enter the palace and will inevitably be involved in court disputes in the future. Marrying a granddaughter to a student from a poor family can also give some help to the Hou family. You should not underestimate the poor family. ”

Mrs. Hou nodded and said:

"What you said makes sense. If your sister is really chosen, your marriage should not be high, so as not to arouse suspicion. If your sister gives birth to a prince in the future, she will be even more jealous."

Shengxia Cicada nodded on her face, but she was disdainful in her heart. Her words were all excuses, and Mrs. Hou bought it, probably because she had the intention of sending herself far away, which seemed to have the same purpose.

"Grandma, since I have chosen this person, I have to worry about the rest of the things." Shengxia Chan said shyly.

"Okay, you go back and wait for my good news."

Mrs. Lao Hou dismissed Xia Chan, then called her personal nanny and said:

"Send someone to contact Kang Jiuqing. If he is interested, ask him to invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

The personal maid hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Old madam, isn't this a bit hasty? How can you marry a young lady from the Hou Mansion? Although Miss Xia Chan has a bad temper, her appearance, figure, and housekeeping skills are all good. Marrying well will help Yeah! ”

Mrs. Hou waved her hand and said:

"You don't understand. This child has separated from the Hou Mansion and wants to get rid of the Hou Mansion. If she really goes against her will and marries her, her ability will sooner or later bring disaster to the Hou Mansion.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to comply with her wishes and marry her far away. She will have to bear the consequences of the good or bad. Being far away will not harm the house. After all, the Hou family has other children to marry. ”

"What the old lady said is true, you have thought carefully."

When grandma knew the reason, she stopped persuading and went to do the work neatly.

Kang Jiuqing didn't expect that one day such a good thing would happen to him. After several inquiries, he learned about Shengxia Cicada's temperament and situation, and he made the decision to meet the lady from the Hou Mansion.

Shengxia Chan also wanted to facilitate the marriage as soon as possible, so she readily agreed, and the two tacitly agreed to meet at the Huguo Temple.

After Kang Jiuqing and Sheng Xiachan met, he was very satisfied with this young lady from the Hou Mansion. Both her appearance and conversation were top-notch, and she spoke with substance and was not an empty-headed beauty.

Shengxia Chan just pointed out her situation in Yongxinhou Mansion. After all, she was the stepmother in charge. It was not easy for her to keep the dowry left by her mother, and she also used the connections her mother left in the palace to buy herself a career that suits her. The marriage was the best result she could get for herself.

Kang Jiuqing felt that it was understandable for Sheng Xia Chan to do this, and he also admired her perseverance, so he invited a government media to come to propose marriage the day after they met.

Because he was ranked second in the new department, many people paid attention. When they learned that he proposed marriage to the Yongxin Hou Mansion, they all said that he was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. However, the result was shocking. The Hou Mansion actually agreed to the marriage, which made people shocked. Sheng Xia Chan, the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, gets married.

The news spread throughout the capital, and everyone was talking about it. Liu Zongcheng felt his heart suffocate when he heard the news. He felt something slipping from his hands. He hurriedly returned to the Minister's Mansion, and then went to find his mother.

Mrs. Liu was stunned after hearing her son's words, and then said unhappily:

"Cheng'er, what kind of hysteria are you suffering from? You said you wanted to marry the daughter-in-law of the Hou family without even meeting her. What do you think?

The most important thing is that I heard people say that the marriage between the two families has been decided, and even the marriage invitations have been exchanged. It is said that Kang Jiuqing is rushing to take office, and the wedding date has been decided. What's going on with you having a hand in it now? For nothing, the dignitaries in the capital can laugh at our Liu family. ”

Liu Zongcheng knew that what his mother said was right. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only give up the thought and regret that he could not avenge Xia Ming himself.

Sheng Xia Chan looked at the Geng Tie in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. She solemnly thanked Madam Hou before returning to her residence.

Not long after she returned, good news came from the palace. Sheng Xia Ming was assigned to the eldest prince by the emperor. The wedding was scheduled for half a year. She was the eldest prince's concubine for sure. (End of chapter)
