Chapter 798 Song Xichen's Marriage
As soon as Gui'er heard this, he knew that Sha Yanxiao really stood on the son's side and had no grudge against Sha Dashuai, but he forgot that in addition to being a father and son, Sha Dashuai and he also had a relationship somewhat similar to that of a feudal emperor and his prince.
Marshal Sha had spent his entire military career to acquire these privileges and territory, so how could he willingly hand them over to anyone else, even his own son?
Gui'er was afraid that if she said too much, it would offend Sha Yanxiao, so she spoke cautiously, "Brother, I don't mean to gossip, but you're the only one in this mansion who can back me up. If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't be in any good situation either. So just be cautious for my sake. I still remember when we were attacked on the street."
Sha Yanxiao was finally moved when he heard this. He nodded and said, "We should investigate thoroughly." He took Gui'er's hand and said, "Guier has grown up and can share my worries."
After that, he called Wu Mingqiang and Dali and discussed the matter in the study for a long time.
Gui'er was relieved to see that he finally took her seriously.
After that, Manager Zhang began to come to the Marshal's Mansion to teach Gui'er how to embroider. Sha Yanxiao had maids in the courtyard who were interested in embroidery, and Manager Zhang was willing to teach them, so he quickly won over their hearts. As servants, they were willing to tell Manager Zhang things that they did not dare to say to Gui'er.
Gui Er smiled and said, "Manager Zhang is amazing. You and your sister, Zhang Ma, are both very suitable for gaining a foothold in the inner house."
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "Are you talking about my cousin who works as a cook in the Song Mansion? Actually, she told me something. It's a private matter, but since you're not an outsider, I'll tell you, Director Song. Old Song is currently mad at his family."
Gui'er was very surprised. Song Xichen was the eldest son and had always been valued by the Song family. She quickly asked, "What happened?"
Shopkeeper Zhang sighed and said, "Do you remember that he has a lover at the police station, a policewoman? In fact, they have been together for several years and it is time for them to get married, but Mrs. Song just won't agree. She thinks that the policewoman comes from an ordinary family."
Guier rolled her eyes. She knew that Mrs. Song was indeed such a person.
"So what happens now?"
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you don't know. My sister told me that Madam Song has been unhappy since the marriage between their daughter and the Marshal's eldest son failed. She keeps saying that if the young lady had married the second young master instead, everything would have been fine. The second young master is strong and will be the top leader of the two cities in the future. No matter who the young lady is having an affair with, she would have shot him dead and everything would have been fine."
Gui Er was amused when she heard this: "Did she really say that? How did Song Tingting react?"
"The young lady and her husband are constantly running back to the Song family to eat, drink, and ask for money. No matter what the master and mistress say, they're always smiling. Mrs. Song is just saying this out of anger, but she's very unwilling to accept that the marriage didn't work out. If the young lady hadn't been married yet, she might have tried to persuade her to marry the second young master. But since the young lady is already married, she's turning her attention to the eldest young master, wanting him to marry the young lady from the Marshal's Mansion."
Gui'er was surprised and asked quickly, "Who does she want Brother Xichen to marry?" She knew very well that most of the unmarried daughters in the Marshal's Mansion were of low status, not as prominent as Sha Yanyao, the main wife. Moreover, given the Marshal's personality, he didn't have much dowry to give.
"My cousin said that the Madam is always counting on her fingers in the Song Mansion. Although she still wants to marry into the Marshal's Mansion, she feels that these daughters of the Marshal's Mansion are not legitimate and are not worth it. She even considered you, saying that you are very favored by the Marshal."
"Me?" Gui'er was really surprised and embarrassed. "She didn't tell the Marshal, right?"
"How could that be? Madam specially asked someone to inquire about it. She said that although you have a good reputation in the Marshal's Mansion, and the mistress and the Marshal both praise you highly, but you are already old enough, and they don't arrange a marriage for you. It seems that they really don't care about you. Later, they learned that Taohua got married and you paid for the dowry, and the Marshal's Mansion didn't even contribute a penny. She completely gave up the idea. She even said in the mansion that you are a clay Buddha crossing the river, and you still paid for Taohua's dowry. I'm afraid that when I get married, I can only pick up two pieces of clothes to go to my husband's house. Who would want a girl like you?"
After hearing this, Gui'er felt relieved. Otherwise, if this matter involved her, it would seem as if she had become the one who was hindering the marriage between Song Xichen and his girlfriend.
Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Gui'er, don't pay attention to what she says. You are a good girl and you will definitely have a bright future."
Guier smiled and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I'm not involved. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. So how are they doing now?"
Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Young Master Song knew his parents' character and didn't want to tell them about his affair with the policewoman. But then Mrs. Song kept talking about it in the mansion, and he couldn't help but tell them. Mrs. Song was furious when she heard it, and she even went to the police station and scolded them. Now the mother and son are still fuming."
Gui'er shook her head: "Brother Xichen is such a good man, but he has such a mother, what a pity." As she said this, she glanced at Sha Yanxiao who was sitting in the distance.
Sha Yanxiao knew that Manager Zhang was coming today, so he came back from the military camp specially. He met him, said hello, and asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Seeing that he respected Manager Zhang so much, the servants in the courtyard were also extra polite to him.
Shopkeeper Zhang also glanced at Sha Yanxiao and said, "Speaking of which, the young marshal is also a super-rich bachelor in Jiangcheng. Why don't the marshal and his wife arrange a marriage for him? Or maybe he already has someone he likes."
When Gui'er heard this, her fingers, which were clumsily embroidering, were pricked by the needle.
"Ah." She frowned and cried out in pain, her heart connected to her fingers.
Shopkeeper Zhang quickly took her hand and looked at it: "Why are you so clumsy, kid?"
"What's wrong? Did you get pricked? Is it serious?" Sha Yanxiao had run over at some point and asked nervously.
"It's okay, I just pricked it accidentally." Blood as big as a soybean came out from the place where Guier's finger was pricked.
Sha Yanxiao quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her wound, then asked a servant to fetch some medicine. He personally applied the white medicine to her wound and wrapped it with gauze. Then he said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My sister is very meticulous in other matters, but she's not very good at these housework. You can just teach her a little bit, but you don't have to be too meticulous."
