PNB Chapter 2244: Spring is not too late
Chapter 2244: Spring is not too late
It was not until the Fang family was actually raided that many outsiders who did not know the truth realized that the Fang family was not as wealthy as they had imagined.
Most of the time, it's just outward appearance but rotten inside.
The one who could not accept it the most, of course, was Zhao Qianyue.
Seeing that everything she had worked so hard for was just a dream, she completely collapsed.
But there is no choice, no way out.
At the same time, the largest palace in the capital was beating drums and gongs, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of Jiangnan Shi's family was married to the third son of Ming's family by the emperor, and today is the wedding day.
People who came to watch the excitement lined the streets. Although they could not see what the bride sitting in the sedan chair looked like, they could see the groom riding a horse in front of him.
Everyone would praise his handsome appearance.
"This is a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!" There was no shortage of envious discussions among the crowd.
It just happened to fall into the ears of the down-and-out couple Fang Yu and Zhao Qianyue.
The two looked at each other, and didn't even dare to look at the wedding procession, and walked even faster.
Shi Li was dressed in her best and sat in the sedan chair that was carried steadily by the bearers.
Although it was my first time getting married, for some reason I felt particularly familiar with it.
It seems that this kind of scene is not the first time.
Very strange.
Fortunately, she did not let this time travel down, and she completely changed the lives of Shi Mufeng and Shi Yu.
The rest of your life should be lived for yourself.
Shi Li raised her head. She couldn't see outside from the sedan chair, but she felt at ease. With Mingchen around, she didn't have to worry about anything.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with this marriage, and even the emperor came to the Ming family in person to congratulate them.
Ming Lian and Shi Mufeng are both his trusted ministers, and it is indeed a good thing for them to become relatives now.
The emperor was so pleased that he gave the newlyweds many gifts. When they were leaving, he patted Minglian on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You two have given me three good sons!"
Minglian: …
Although he could understand what the emperor meant, why did these words sound so strange?
It was not until Mingchen received the imperial edict issued by the emperor that Minglian and his wife truly understood what the emperor meant.
This youngest son, who had always been a good son-in-law, actually married him to Jiangnan just to get married! No wonder Shi Mufeng, who originally refused to agree to the marriage, changed his mind so quickly. It turned out that he not only got a son-in-law, but also got a great son for free.
Mrs. Ming was so angry that she could only grab Ming Lian's son in anger.
"Tell me what's the point of me going through so much trouble to give birth to and raise a son, when in the end he's just born to someone else!"
Minglian had no words to express her grievances and could only beg for mercy from her eldest son and daughter-in-law who were still by her side.
Mrs. Ming made a fuss in private, but finally calmed down.
Sitting down, he sighed, "Forget it. Mingchen has been old and eccentric since he was young. I thought he would never get married in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, he fell in love with the girl I also like. Let's go to Jiangnan with him. Otherwise, Li'er will be sad to leave her father and sister and stay in the capital."
With such a reasonable mother-in-law, it would be hard for Shi Li to live an unhappy life.
What she didn't expect was that Mingchen, who was always rebellious in private, secretly insisted on living in a separate room from her for three years after getting married, except for kissing and hugging.
He didn't tell anyone either, just because he was well-read and felt that Shi Li was still young, so he insisted on not getting close to her.
Shi Li always forgets her physical age, and her heart softened when he said that.
The south of the Yangtze River is warm and the water is always beautiful like spring.
Three years passed in a flash, Mingchen was like a fish in water in Jiangnan, successful in the officialdom, and his house was next to Shi's mansion. Shi Li could see Shi Mufeng and Shi Yu at any time, and he could reach his home by turning left when he went out of the door.
After so many things happened, Shi Yu, who disliked Mingchen very much, could not find any fault with him in the end, and reluctantly called him brother-in-law.
But privately, only Shi Li knew that the way Mingchen looked at her made her feel even more heartwarming.
The reason is simple: her birthday is coming soon.
After this birthday, I will be eighteen years old.
On holidays, the young couple stayed in their own house and acted like a real stay-at-home husband and wife.
Mingchen was sitting in front of the window, holding a book in his hand. Shili was sitting not far away, looking at a set of exquisite ornaments he had just acquired.
The maid in charge came in and said to her, "Madam, there are gifts from the capital, saying that they are to celebrate your birthday. What do you think of the arrangements?"
Shi Li put down the ornaments, asked what they were, and then made arrangements one by one.
The maid walked out as ordered, and Shi Li suddenly noticed a burning gaze looming over her.
Looking back, Mingchen put down the book in his hand, a smile on his lips, and the sunlight fell, seeming to flash with golden light.
"Lili."
He stared at her with deep eyes, then stood up and slowly walked towards Shi Li.
