Chapter 236 Chicken and dog rise

Shang Shilang was a little curious, so he opened his mouth and asked.

 “Why is third brother here?”

“It was the Ministry of Rites that Sixth Brother sent someone to deliver the post to, so there are other members of the Ministry of Rites like us who are here today.”

 Shang Ji followed the official path and did not say that he privately sent a message to Sanfang.

 Otherwise, according to the temperament of those in Sanfang, I am afraid they would also join in the fun.

This is good now, firstly, Shang Sanlang has the opportunity to come, and secondly, he can avoid the competition from Sanfang and others to join in the fun.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei smiled her usual gentle smile and said.

"Sanlang is still capable. I heard that you are doing well in the Ministry of Rites. I think you will have a chance to be promoted in the near future."

 The performance evaluation of hundreds of officials is not only known to the officials in the court, but also to the ladies in the courtyard.

If Shang Sanlang relied on his own ability and ability, he would have to hang around for many years and might not be able to get ahead.

However, by taking down the young man of the Jin family this time, he gained some attention in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince had a lot of words with him.

　　Although he did not directly state how he wanted to be reused, he paid attention to his current position for the first time, which made Shang Sanlang extremely happy.

 The officials of the Ministry of Rites next to him also knew very well that their relationship with him was much closer than when they arrived.

"Thanks to my aunt's words, if my nephew really has a chance to move up, he must thank his sixth brother for his help."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wei could still pretend to be nice, but the expressions of Shiro and Shiro's wife were not good-looking.

 Shang Shilang was incompetent, so he could not succeed in military affairs.

With the help of the Wei family, he went to Gyeonggi Province for a while, but he couldn't bear the hardship, so he hid back after a short time there and stayed at home every day to be his happy son-in-law.

Although Mrs. Wei and Shiro's wife don't like it, compared to other men who love to live and drink outside, Shang Shiro is relatively clean.

 So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put their minds on cultivating Shang Zhihe.

Seeing that he is much more progressive than his father, who knew there would be trouble like Prince Fu's broken leg. Therefore, the Shiro family is now in a very embarrassing situation.

 As a father, he is useless, and as a son, he has no future.

 Therefore, not only Mrs. Wei, but also Silang's wife was also eyeing the young master's seat, especially when she saw Du Jingyi's flattering look, who would not be jealous or jealous after seeing it.

 She is just a business girl, how can she be compared to a young lady from the Taiwei Mansion?

Shang Sanlang is not stupid. He knows that his uncle has been quarreling with wives and concubines for so many years, so if he wants to climb up the high branch of Shang Ji, he must step on the lintel of the Duke's Mansion.

 Otherwise, if you waver and try to please both sides, you will end up with someone who is not human inside and out. He knows this better than anyone else.

 After having this thought, the smile on Shang Sanlang's face was no longer so sincere, and then he said.

"I still want to greet other colleagues, so I won't talk to the uncles anymore. Please sit down slowly."

His appearance made Shiro's wife even more angry. He had only taken a few steps out when he heard Shiro's wife slandering him behind his back.

“It’s so funny. A person who didn’t even dare to make a sound at home in the past wants to ascend to heaven? He says it as if he is the master, huh, I don’t know what to say.”

Shang Sanlang is not a person who behaves after getting an advantage, and he has never paid attention to his fourth brother's family in his heart, so even if his wife said something unpleasant, he pretended not to hear it and left. After all, in his eyes at this moment, he sees more ambition to move forward, and he will not pay attention to these pebbles on the roadside.

Looking at Shang Sanlang's leaving figure, Shang Qilang couldn't tell what he was feeling for a moment.

 He ​​tried many times but failed to get any attention from the sixth brother. Instead, the third brother easily caught his eye.

Shang Qilang has reason to believe that his path will be a straight one.

 There is a lot of envy in my heart, but I don’t know how to express it.

They have just finished speaking here, and the ceremony of hairdressing is about to begin.

This time, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the Wei family were not present, and no one asked any questions. Everyone seemed to be more concerned about the haircut gift specially sent by the queen this time.

 An entire rosewood carving, ivory and tourmaline beads are decorated with embroidery of the peach blossom scene in spring. Both the materials and the embroidery work are extremely exquisite.

 The most important thing is that this is a gift from the Queen herself, which is a supreme honor.

Whether you stay with your parents’ family or take them to your husband’s family in the future, it is a matter of honor, so all the ladies in Sui’an city are envious.

The crown prince and crown princess’s gifts were no less generous. They had a flat stove made of hibiscus stone, which was clear in color and unique in style.

 The tender pink color is particularly interesting when used as a hair extension gift.

 The following gifts may be expensive or exquisite, but they cannot surpass these two.

The purpose of the congratulatory gift was to bring Xue Niang, a young lady that no one cared about in the past, to the public, and she once again appeared in the circle of nobles with a proud attitude.

The attitude of Mrs. Guo and everyone in the Guo family also gave Shang Xueniang enough face.

It almost had the words "My precious granddaughter-in-law" engraved on her face, and the guest's posture was both excited and proud.

Mrs. Gu, who was also dressed very richly, couldn't help but laugh.

　　"Okay, okay, I don't know, I thought it was your granddaughter Ji Ji, and she almost stole my old lady's limelight!"

She and Mrs. Guo have been friends for decades, so naturally they were joking about such things.

So Mrs. Guo was happy to take over the conversation and said.

"Who says it's not the case? After tomorrow, everyone in the world will know about it. Then I will steal my limelight for you."

The two of them were talking about the engagement between Guo Jiashilang and Xue Niang, so everyone who understood it smiled knowingly.

 “The auspicious time has arrived, and the eighth lady and hairpin ceremony officially begin.”

The voice of Butler He outside attracted everyone's attention, and after a while, the Snow Lady walked out.

 In the eyes of everyone's concern, he walked in gracefully from the outside.

This was the first time that Guo Jiashilang had met Xue Niang. He had not had much impression of this merchant's eighth lady in the past, but he didn't have anyone he liked, so after hearing the arrangement of his grandparents and parents, he agreed. Come down.

  After all, for a family like theirs, liking is not as important as being suitable.
