Although it was only to bring the twins to see Empress Dowager Zhou one last time, the journey was long and the round trip would take at least half a year.
After packing their luggage, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia brought the siblings into the palace to bid farewell to Song Li and apply for leave from Shangguan Han. The next morning, the family set off.
Song Jinghuan and Lin Miaomiao each led one of the twins to the door. Madam Li, Song Jinghao, Bruiser, and Lin Shao followed behind.
Everyone’s faces were filled with reluctance.
Shen Yijia looked at the people in front of her and teased, “When we come back, it’s time for you to put your marriage on the agenda.”
Time passed so quickly. When she first transmigrated, these guys were still half-grown children, but now they were all of marriageable age.
“Sister-in-law!” Lin Miaomiao’s face instantly turned red. She secretly glanced at Bruiser beside her and stammered.
“A grown man should get married, and a grown woman should get married. What’s there to be shy about?” Shen Yijia was amused by her reaction. She looked at Bruiser in anticipation. “Bruiser, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but as a man, you have to take the initiative. I heard from Mother that many madams have been asking about Miaomiao’s marriage recently.”
In the past few years, Bruiser had been helping Shen Yijia manage the shop. Not only had he made the business of the shop prosper, but he had also opened many branches everywhere. Even Song Jingchen had praised him for being very smart in managing businesses.
Perhaps it was because he had placed all his attention on business, but while anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Lin Miaomiao liked him, he himself seemed to be unaware. It was not that he had no feelings for her, but the two of them had not broached this topic.
Actually, it wasn’t just Lin Miaomiao. There were also many people who were asking about Bruiser and Lin Shao’s marriage.
After all, the three of them had always been raised in the Duke’s Residence. Outsiders thought that they were adopted by Madam Li. With the Duke’s current status, ordinary people did not dare to covet Brother Hao and Sister Huan, the legitimate young master and young lady of the Duke’s Residence. They thought that it was not bad to have an adopted son and daughter.
Of course, Madam Li naturally would not agree to such a selfish marriage.
However, Bruiser did not know the inside story. When he heard that someone was asking about Lin Miaomiao’s marriage, he panicked and hurriedly said, “I’ll listen to Sister.”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “What’s the point of listening to me? You have to get Lin Shao and Miaomiao to nod first.” “Sister-in-law!”
Lin Miaomiao ran away in embarrassment.
Bruiser was stunned. When he reacted, he quickly chased after her.
He completely ignored his future brother-in-law, Lin Shao’s death stare.
After successfully playing matchmaker, Shen Yijia turned to Song Jinghuan, who was watching the show, in satisfaction. “Sister Huan, you and Jin Bao…”
The smile on Song Jinghuan’s face froze. “Sister-in-law, don’t spout nonsense. I don’t have any thoughts about him.”
“Is that so? Why did I hear that you scolded Liu Jinbao for picking up a handkerchief for a girl a while ago?” At this point, Shen Yijia paused. “I thought you were interested in him and got jealous.”
Liu Jinbao had contributed to the development of black gunpowder. Shangguan Han thought that he was a promising talent, so he arranged for him to enter the weapons manufacturing workshop of the Ministry of Works.
Although he only started as an apprentice at first, because he was personally appointed by the emperor and he was indeed talented in this area, he had been promoted to junior superintendent some time ago.
“How is that possible?” Song Jinghuan explained, “I was afraid that he would be deceived. Think about it, no one has bothered with him in Chang’an for so many years. Those women went up to him as soon as he was promoted. It’s obvious that they don’t have good intentions.”
She spoke seriously. Seeing that Shen Yijia was about to say something, she slapped her forehead and said, “Oh my, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment to play polo. If I don’t go now, I’ll be late.”
“Tan’er, Minter, remember to miss Auntie.”
With that, Song Jinghuan ran away.
Shen Yijia fell silent and turned to look at Song Jinghao.
Song Jinghao trembled. “Sister-in-law, I still have to take the imperial examination in the second half of the year. Sir said that we should prioritize our studies now. There’s no hurry to get married. Well, have a safe trip with Big Brother. I’ll go back and study first.”
Looking at his back, Shen Yijia suppressed her laughter and looked at Lin Shao.
Lin Shao cupped his hands and bowed. “I’m not very familiar with the acupuncture techniques taught by Auntie Ji. I’ll practice again.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I didn’t say anything. All of them looked reluctant just now, but they ran faster than rabbits.”
She looked at Madam Li aggrievedly.
Madam Li’s eyelids twitched. “It’s getting late. Hurry up and get in the car.
Come back early.”
Shen Yijia was speechless.
It wasn’t until the carriage was far away that she asked uncertainly, “Were we chased away?
Song Jingchen rubbed her head dotingly. “No.”
In the other carriage, Song Tan and Song Min looked at each other and at Ji Luo in unison. They said solemnly, “Grandmother, if Mother urges the two of us to get married one day, can you help us?”
Ji Luo was stunned for a moment when she heard the two three-year-old brats talk about this. When she reacted, she couldn’t help but laugh..
