Chapter 76 Sisters (Pink 180+)

  Sheng Siyan took a look and vaguely remembered that this was Zheng Guogong's eldest daughter, Zheng Yuer, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Sister Yuer."

  Zheng Yuer smiled and pulled one hand on Sheng Siyan and the other on Niu Xiaoye, only then did this storm dissipate into nothingness.

  Sheng Siyan was extremely grateful to Zheng Yuer.

  Zheng Yuer's words seemed to be of no help, but in fact, they were biased towards Sheng Siyan. Because she said that Sheng Siyan had just come from the countryside to the capital and didn't understand many things about the four major families and the royal family. However, Wu Chanjuan was not a country girl who had just arrived in the capital. She grew up in the Wu Guogong Mansion and had a young aunt who died early because of her relationship with the second prince. How could she not know this taboo?

  In this way, insightful people can immediately see that Wu Yanjuan did it on purpose, while Sheng Siyan may have just made an unintentional mistake.

  Due to Zheng Yuer's words, there were also many people who had a change of heart towards Sheng Siyan.

  At this banquet, Sheng Siyan had been talking to Zheng Yuer all along. The two of them used to just nod at each other in the past, but this time they sat close together and opened up a conversation, surprisingly finding many common interests and both being very happy.

  Niu Xiaoye also chimed in from time to time, and the three of them chatted very lively.

  Gradually, the noble ladies who came today also chatted with Sheng Siyan in twos and threes, while also trying to please Wu Chanjuan, not wanting to offend either of them, being very clever.

  Wu Chanjuan was repeatedly warned by Zheng Suhui, and gradually learned to restrain her temper. However, seeing Zheng Yuer and Sheng Siyan chatting happily together still made her choke with anger.

  Back home, Wu Yanjuan told Zheng Suhui everything that Zheng Yuer had said. Finally, she said: "Mother, Yuer sister is my cousin. She's even more affectionate towards Sheng Siyan than me and even helps her speak! I'm not angry with Sheng Siyan, but I am angry with Yuer sister!"

  Zheng Suxin smiled and stroked Wu Yujuan's pretty face, saying softly: "…They weren't born to the same mother, yet they differ so much; what more can be said of you two who are separated by a generation."

  "Daughter, what did you say?" Wu Juanjuan hadn't heard clearly and tilted her head to ask again.

  "It's nothing. Your sister-in-law is also doing it for your own good. She only told you because she's close to you. Being polite to the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, don't take it to heart." Zheng Suhui said with a smile, pushing Wu Cujuan back to rest.

  The next day, Zheng Suhui was thinking about whether to return to the Zheng family for a visit, but heard her senior maid Yu Guo say, "Madam, your maternal cousin's wife has arrived."

  "Sister-in-law? Which one?" Zheng Suheng furrowed her brow.

  Yu Gu knew that when Zheng Lao Ye was very young, his first wife, Ye Shi, had passed away. Ye Shi only gave birth to a son and a daughter. Zheng Su Heng is the eldest daughter, and her brother Zheng Xing Hong is the eldest son. Ye Shi died of puerperal fever shortly after giving birth to Zheng Xing Hong, who was born prematurely.

  At that time, Zheng Suxin was just over a year old, and Zheng Xinghong was only an infant who could not even speak, and because he was premature, his body was very fragile. Fortunately, Old Man Sheng helped him to regulate his body, and he survived the most critical period.

  The Zheng family's grand national duke mansion couldn't be without a mistress. Therefore, Old Master Zheng soon married the concubine Kang Shi.

  Kang was a good breeder. After marrying Old Master Zheng, she gave birth to three sons in a row. The Zheng family, which had always been scarce in males, suddenly became prosperous and thriving.

  Grandfather Zheng's father, Old Master Zheng, was still alive at that time. He saw his own daughter-in-law give birth to three big and fat boys, who were lively and healthy, much better than his sickly eldest grandson. Therefore, he had a few points of favoritism.

  After Zheng Lao Taigong's death, Zheng Lao Yezi succeeded the title of Duke. The inner courtyard of the National Duke's Mansion was where Kang Shi took charge.

  Kang's family was just a sixth-grade official and also a small official under the Ministry of Rites, subordinate to Old Master Zheng.

  Mr. Zheng was still very young at that time, and it was actually a good match for Ms. Kang to marry him.

  The couple has been getting along harmoniously for many years and have never had a red face. Their feelings are very good.

  Kang's affection for Zheng Su-huan and her brother was extremely deep, in all matters they were given priority, while his own children came after, it wasn't just a matter of face.

  Zheng Suxin was very close to Kang Shi when she was a child, thinking that Kang Shi was her biological mother. It wasn't until she grew up to be 5 or 6 years old that she realized Kang Shi was not her own mother but her stepmother. From then on, she took care of her younger brother Zheng Xinghong and told him not to get too close to Kang Shi.

  Kang later gave birth to another daughter, Zheng Xiang Rong.

  Zheng Xiangru was exceptionally beautiful from the age of four or five, unlike ordinary little girls.

  Zheng Suxin also loves this little sister very much, and the two sisters are closer than real sisters.

  When Zheng Xiangrong was five years old, she accidentally fell into the pond in the backyard. Zheng Suhui jumped in without hesitation and rescued her.

  From then on, the two sisters became even closer. Before Zheng Su-hen got married, she lived with Zheng Xiang-rong in Xiao Qing Xuan for a long time.

  These things are all known by these maidservants, and Zheng Suhui has never been reserved about them.

  Yu Guo saw Zheng Su Xian ask which sister-in-law, hurriedly smiled and said: "It's Mrs. Zheng Da Ye."

  It turned out to be Zheng Xinghong's wife, Shan Shi.

  "Let her in," Zheng Suxin said with a smile.

  Yu Guilei led the Shanshi into the house.

  Shan's family background is not bad, among the several daughters-in-law of the Zheng family, her maiden home is the most prominent, so she can marry the eldest son of the Zheng Guo Gong Fu. She is two years older than Zheng Xinghong, looks well-maintained, but too thin.

  As soon as she saw Zheng Suxin, Shan said a few casual words and then said: "Big sister, you have some free time to go home and sit down, and persuade your father."

  "What's wrong with your father?" Zheng Suheng handed her a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

  Shan's wife pouted and said, "Big sister, your husband has just been appointed as the crown prince. But our Xing Hong still doesn't know where he stands in the family. Look at him, he's already over 30 years old, and the sons of other families are already discussing marriage, but he's still single. What will happen to him in the future? He'll be squeezed out by others and won't even have a place to stand."

  Zheng Suxin's husband Wu Changge had just obtained the position of Crown Prince, and Zheng Suxin was naturally satisfied.

  But it's not so smooth on the maternal side.

  She knew that her younger brother, Zheng Xinghong, had been frail since childhood and was raised in a medicine jar. Old Man Zheng married him to a wife two years older than him, also hoping that the older wife would be more caring and able to take care of him.

  Also because Zheng Xinghong was in poor health from childhood to adulthood, Old Man Zheng did not let him go out to be an official, only staying at home reading books and writing.

  Zheng Xinghong's writing is mediocre in every way. Whether it's poetry or prose, he doesn't have any outstanding qualities.

  The "Wenqu Star" of the Zheng family seems to have only taken care of the Kang family.

  Apart from the stunning Zheng Xiangrong, her three brothers Zheng Xinghui, Zheng Xingwang and Zheng Xingtong were all exceptionally talented in literature, writing many famous poems and essays that have been passed down through generations.

  If it weren't for Zheng Suxin having been a disciple of Sheng Lao Yezi and later marrying into the Wu Guo Gong Fu as the legitimate wife of the eldest son, the original Zheng family would have been forgotten by the world.

  Zheng Suxin furrowed her brow and said, "What did Father say?"

  "Father didn't say anything. But what other reason could there be for not asking for the title of eldest son, who is doing well? Of course, he wants to leave it for the son of that house." Shanshi dared not speak at home, but spoke her mind here with Zheng Suheng.

  "Please don't say that. Father is the most rule-abiding person. My younger brother is the eldest son born to the first wife, and he will never allow the position of heir to be given to a child born to a concubine, skipping over the eldest son."

  Shan closed her mouth, lowered her head and took a sip of tea. After thinking for a moment, she changed the subject and said: "Second brother's wife has been matchmaking for eldest sister recently. As her aunt, shouldn't you go back and give your opinion?"

  Shan said that Er Di Mei, the wife of the eldest son of Kang's family, Tian Shi. Zheng Xinghong is the eldest son, and Zheng Xinghui, the eldest son of Kang's family, is the second son, and at home, they all call him Er Ye.

  And this big girl is Zheng Yuer. She is the only daughter of Tian's family and also the eldest granddaughter of Kang's family.

  Zheng Suxin thought of what Wu Chanjuan said to her, smiled and said: "Yuer is a good girl, I naturally want to go back and take a look."

  In just two days, Zheng Suhui returned home for a visit and coincidentally ran into a matchmaker who came with a marriage proposal.

  Zheng Suxin sat with the Tian family for a while, then called Zheng Yuer over to praise her, saying she looked more and more like her aunt as she grew older, causing Zheng Yuer to blush and run away.

  Tian smiled and said: "Elder sister-in-law, you are overpraising. Younger sister-in-law is the number one beauty of Dashan, how can our Jade compare to her?"

  Zheng Suxin hastily said: "Yu'er is indeed getting more and more beautiful, it's not just me who says so. Everyone says so." And then asked Tian Shi, "Have you found a good husband for Yu'er?"

  Tian's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he said, "Many people have come to ask for her hand in marriage, but her father is not satisfied with any of them."

  Zheng Suxin smiled and said: "If you don't mind, I can help you investigate the character of these people."
