However, Shen Zhonglei soon felt that he might have thought too much.
Because Li Zian never mentioned this matter again, but instead praised Shen Tianshu in front of him.
"My grandmother has always regretted that she did not have a daughter. My mother only gave birth to me, without any brothers or sisters, so my grandmother felt particularly attached to Miss Shen since she met her on the Lantern Festival. Of course, this is also because Master Shen taught Miss Shen so well. good."
"Your Majesty, I really praise you too much. The fact that my daughter received the wrong love from the Imperial Concubine is a result of her own cultivation. I don't dare to take credit. I am just worried that my daughter is young and is afraid that she will be ignorant and make the Imperial Concubine angry."
"No, it's too late for grandma to like her. She always talks about it. It feels like even my own grandson has fallen out of favor." Li Zian said and joked.
Hearing Li Zi'an spare no effort in praising him, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that the prince is attracted to Shen Tianshu?
Shen Tianshu has been good-looking since she was a child, and now she has become a woman, becoming more and more beautiful and attractive.
If Li Zian is attracted to her, it is not impossible.
But Shen Zhonglei didn't want to marry his daughter into the palace. The palace had a high status and strict rules. He was afraid that Shen Tianshu would suffer a loss if he married her. With his status, he might not be able to help.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but turn his eyes to Fan Yuru.
In his mind, Fan Yuru is obviously a more suitable candidate than Li Zian.
Shen Zhonglei thought in his mind that Shen Tianshu was not young now, and it was almost time to start looking for candidates.
It's better to take advantage of Fan Yuru's visit to Yongzhou Mansion and find an opportunity to test it out.
If both parties have such intention, if the matter is brought up like this, Li Zian, as the prince, will definitely not be able to steal people from his subordinates.
In this way, he can not only choose his favorite son-in-law, but also quietly prevent the possibility of the prince having any ideas. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
Shen Zhonglei was a little distracted as he was thinking about it, and he didn't even hear Fan Yuru talking to him.
Seeing this, Fan Yuru thought that Shen Zhonglei was too tired to receive Li Zian today, so he helped him out considerately: "Sir Shen, it's getting late today, and it's really hard for you to receive us. Why don't we stop talking today? , Anyway, the prince will stay for a few more days before leaving, so we have a long time ahead."
Shen Zhonglei suddenly came back to his senses and saw that it was getting late outside. Thinking that Li Zian was still injured, he didn't know if he could take care of himself or not. He was still lingering here without taking the initiative to say goodbye. It was really unwise.
"I didn't expect it to be so late all of a sudden." Shen Zhonglei stood up and said, "I'm going to take my leave. I don't want to delay the prince's rest."
Shen Zhonglei left the courtyard where Li Zian lived and went straight to the main room.
Mrs. Xu was about to go to sleep, but she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw him coming.
Xin Dao Han's clever idea turned out to be effective. After their son came back, the relationship between the couple really eased a lot.
However, Shen Zhonglei didn't even sit down, and went straight to the topic: "There will be a banquet in Mingshui Garden the day after tomorrow for the Crown Prince, and the ladies and girls from all the palaces will also come. Time is tight, so you and others will get ready tomorrow.
"If you're too busy, let Tianshu help you a little. I think she managed the housekeeping in an orderly manner before, so she should still be able to help you.
"Besides, when she gets married, she may have to take care of things like banquets in her husband's family. You should also start teaching her and taking care of her."
"Master, I understand." Mrs. Xu promised meekly, and was about to ask the maid to come in to help Shen Zhonglei change clothes and wash up. She planned to keep him here tonight.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhonglei walked away after giving the explanation.
Xu was so angry that she grabbed the pillow and threw it at his leaving back.
Naturally, it didn't hit Shen Zhonglei who had already left the house, but it hit Han Qiao who followed the sound.
"Ouch!"
As soon as Hanqiao entered the room, a pillow hit her head.
She calmed down before picking up the pillow, patting it and putting it back on the soft couch, and asked: "What's wrong, madam? Are you angry with the master again?"
"Isn't that right! He came here to explain a few words and then left as if his butt was on fire, as if he was afraid that I might eat him if he stayed a little longer!" Mrs. Xu said angrily, "Have I not been humble enough today?
My son finally came back and he didn’t eat at home at night. What did I say? He was so lukewarm to me, what else did he want from me?"
"Madam, as the saying goes, it doesn't freeze three feet in a day. This is the first time you and I have been at odds for so long. I am such a face-loving person. If you change your mind all of a sudden, I'm afraid you will feel guilty too.
Are you muttering?"
"Tch!" Although he was dissatisfied, Xu's momentum suddenly weakened, and he curled his lips and said, "He wants face, don't I?"
"Face is important, but it is only for outsiders to see. When it comes to face between a couple, seizing the inner face is the most important thing."
"Okay, you can tell me, did the master give you any benefit to speak for him in front of me every day?"
Seeing that he had been persuaded, Han Qiao immediately laughed and said: "It's such a simple truth. Madam, a smart person, has already known it all in her heart. She is just angry with the master, and she doesn't feel comfortable in her heart. She uses the slave's words to persuade her."
Just yourself."
Xu's mood suddenly dropped again, and she sighed and said: "Oh, do you think I can accept it in my heart? Last time there was a Lantern Festival banquet at Prince Rui's house, Yun Yao was unable to go because she was banned by the master. This time
Prince Li Zian came to Yongzhou Mansion, and Yunyao missed her because she was sent back to her hometown by the master. Tell me, what is this? Isn’t it possible that the prince has a conflict with Yunyao? "
Hanqiao was startled by Mrs. Xu's words. She quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, so she said: "Madam, please be careful, don't say this nonsense. If someone with a heart listens to it, it will be very harmful to the lady and the girl."
None of it is good!”
"Shouldn't I just tell you something!" Ms. Xu lowered her voice, but still couldn't help complaining, "Do you know, the master actually said that he would let me take Shen Tianshu with him and teach her more so that we can marry her in the future?
People need it! If she needs it, why can’t Yun Yao use it..."
Li Zian came here with a guard of honor this time, and he couldn't hide the news even if he wanted to.
So Xu was not the only one who wanted to send her daughter to Li Zian.
Although not every family has a daughter of the right age, there are indeed many people in the government who can't stand it.
Besides, who doesn’t have relatives and friends in the neighborhood?
From early morning on the next day, there was an endless stream of people coming to the homes of the Yongzhou Prefecture and Yamen carrying gifts to try to establish relations.
Some people were even more daring and even brought their daughters directly to Mrs. Xu to beg.
