Although Wei Shengxian extremely admired the lineal mother, Old Madam Song, she was a mother herself after all. After asking about Old Madam Song for the whole morning, it was already lunchtime. Wei Shengxian was pulled at her sleeve by the granny behind her and she finally remembered what she ought to do. Therefore, she said to her two daughters, "Go to the kitchen and pay attention. Don't let them slack off."

Seeing that Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan were sent away, Wei Changying knew that her eldest aunt was going to get to the point. As expected, Wei Shengxian said embarrassedly, "Changying, you just married to the capital and you have to take care of your husband. I shouldn't have troubled you anymore..."

"What are you talking about, eldest aunt? You're my aunt and we are from the same family. Besides, you are my elder. If you need me, just tell me without hesitation. As long as I can make it, I will absolutely do it." Wei Changying smiled and interrupted Wei Shengxian. Although Wei Changying didn't see her lineal uncle when she paid a visit to the mansion of the Song Family last time, she thought that Song Yuwang, as Madam Song's lineal elder brother, would care about her feelings on account that she was his lineal niece. Besides, it was not difficult for Song Yuwang to do that. All he needed to do was personally persuade clansmen of the collateral branches and restrain them. Wei Changying thought that those relatives including her eldest uncle wouldn't have the courage to defy the orders of the clan.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shengxian was very grateful after hearing Wei Changying's promise. However, she said, "Changying, as you said that, I should be honest with you. Although your two younger cousins were greatly inferior to you, they were still decent. I had also been taught by your grandmother in the early years and I have taught them about the rules. Your two cousins were obedient, and they were virtuous and kind-hearted. Now Xiyue turned fifteen and Ruxuan also grew up. In these years, they had been with your eldest uncle in Zezhou. It was remote and there were no decent families. At present, your eldest uncle managed to return to the capital. However, we were new here and were estranged from our old friends because of so many years’ separations. They were not as close as our flesh and blood... If you know some suitable men who look good and who can match with your two cousins, can you help me pay attention?"

Wei Changying originally thought that Wei Shengxian would talk about the matter that she had been persecuted by her husband's clan, yet Wei Shengxian wanted to entrust the marriages of her two daughters to Wei Changying. It also made sense. Although Wei Shengxian grew up in the capital, she had been staying with her husband in other places since she was married. Zezhou was close to Siam. Even if there were some so-called famous families, how could Wei Shengxian, who came from one of the six gentlefolks across the country, pay attention to them?

The father of Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan was also the descendant of the Song Family in Jiangnan, one of the six gentlefolks!

Wei Changying thought that her eldest uncle, who suddenly returned to the capital at this time, mostly was trying to help his two daughters marry into good families, and he had tried every means to get back to the capital.

In fairness, these two cousins looked good, and they seemed to have good temperaments. Although they were daughters of the collateral branches of the Song Family, they were both lineal daughters and their family also had a good fortune. The eldest uncle was originally the governor of Zezhou, now he was also a state governor in the capital, which was a good position. Since both their parents were the descendants of gentlefolks, especially their mother Wei Shengxian was the daughter of the current Family Head of the Wei Family in Fengzhou, most families would be willing to accept the chance to meet these two girls.

Wei Changying thought about it for a while and felt that she could help with this, so she nodded and said, "Eldest aunt, don't worry. Although I was just married and I'm still unfamiliar with the young masters in the capital, my husband has many good friends among Three Capital Guards and there are many talents. I think I can find someone for two cousins. It is just that marriage is a life-long event, so I don't dare to decide for them. Eldest aunt, you should come and see them in person at that time."

Wei Shengxian said with joy, "Three Capital Guards are full of young talents. Changying, thank you for your kindness."

When they finished talking, Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan came back from the kitchen together, saying that lunch had been prepared, and asked if they wanted to have lunch immediately.

Wei Changying had just taken power from Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu. Although she came to visit Wei Shengxian today, she was still worried about her family. Therefore, after they had lunch and sat for a while, she politely told Wei Shengxian that her sisters-in-law had just assigned things to her yesterday... Wei Shengxian's daughters were about to get married, so it was natural that she understood all the twists and turns in the backyard. She no longer kept Wei Changying at the moment, and only asked someone to divide the Ice Soul Incense in half. Then she put half into two boxes and said with a smile, "You live with your parents-in-law now, and you can't use this incense alone. I divide it for you. You see, this big box is more luxurious, but there is not much incense. This inconspicuous little box... You keep it yourself."

Saying so, she blinked at her niece and looked mischievous.

Wei Changying couldn't help but smile, thinking that her eldest aunt was really growing up with Old Madam Song. Yet she became more and more puzzled. Why did both her second paternal aunt and her second maternal aunt said that the eldest aunt had been persecuted quite badly by her husband's relatives?

Besides Ice Soul Incense, Wei Shengxian returned the four-color gifts to Madam Su. These were brought back to the mansion by Wei Changying. Naturally, Madam Su didn’t care about the four-color gifts and politely asked someone to accept them. Listening to Wei Changying's introduction to Ice Soul Incense, she was refreshed immediately. The pampered womenfolk of the family would all be interested in such a luxury.

At the moment, someone was asked to bring the utensil containing ice up, took a small piece of the incense from the big box Wei Shengxian gave to Madam Su, and put the piece into the utensil. The incense had no smell when it was in the box. Once the piece was placed in the ice, there was a faint fragrance escaping.

After a while, the light fragrance grew, but it was not yet full of flavor. The cool scent, not cold, permeated the room. Without the smoky smell of burning incense, it was elegant and clean. Madam Su was refreshed and she praised, "What good Ice Soul Incense!"

Hearing the news, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu came to look over. They could not find faults with such a strange fragrance. Madam Su had already complimented it. Though they were not reconciled, they had no choice but to follow her.

This exotic incense was sold by Siamese merchants to Zezhou and bought by Wei Shengxian. Besides, Wei Shengxian only met one merchant who was selling the Ice Soul Incense. All felt it was a pity. Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "The barbarians were ignorant. How could they sell such a treasure in a small place like Zezhou? If it weren't for the eldest uncle of the third sister-in-law who worked there, the Siamese merchant would have to sell it for a few years. If he came to the prosperous places in the Great Vi, it could sell to ten thousand dollars, let alone one thousand."

Although the Great Vi gradually showed signs of decline, the six gentlefolks still lived extravagantly, which was beyond common people's imagination. From Madam Su to Wei Changying, no one thought it was not worth buying a box of incense for ten thousand dollars. They all felt that the few amounts of Ice Soul Incense were a pity. Even the gold couldn't buy this incense.

Mrs. Duanmu said, "Siam is such a small country. I am afraid that people there think Zezhou is already prosperous and they should deem that the Great Vi is nothing more than that."

The two sisters-in-law also praised the incense and Wei Changying promised to give them a share of her own. Naturally, it was not as much as that for Madam Su. It was different from last time when Wei Changying sent them parrots. Neither Mrs. Liu nor Mrs. Duanmu refused her.

As they received Wei Changying’s gifts, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu couldn't say anything strange for the time being. In addition, they were in front of Madam Su, so the three became more harmonious. They talked and laughed, flattering Madam Su. Until dinner time, they went away separately.

That night, Wei Changying snuggled up against Shen Cangfeng's arms, and told him about Wei Shengxian’s entrustment, "Today, mother allowed me to visit my eldest aunt and I saw my two cousins. They had been living in Zezhou with my eldest uncle, and it was my first time to meet them. They were beautiful, quiet, and modest young ladies. However, they just arrived in the capital and they were unknown to the public. My eldest aunt was worried about their marriages. The two cousins were now reaching their age."

Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "You want me to find someone among Three Capital Guards?"

"Of course." Wei Changying gave him a gentle slap with a smile, and asked, "Is there any suitable family? So many people came to visit you last time. Could it be possible that all of them had been engaged?"

Shen Cangfeng said: "Let me think... What is our cousins' temperament?"

"I just met them today. They looked stable, and it could be seen that my eldest aunt treated her daughters very strictly." Wei Changying thought and said.

"What do you think of Liu Youzhao?" Shen Cangfeng said.

Wei Changying was stunned and said, "Liu Youzhao?"

"He is the nephew of Duke Weiyuan. His parents were deceased. He was brought up by Duke Weiyuan personally and was regarded as Duke Weiyuan's biological son." Shen Cangfeng introduced, "Because he was the only son of his father, Duke Weiyuan cared much for him. Duke Weiyuan was afraid that he couldn't protect his nephew, then he would feel sorry for his brother. Therefore, all of Duke Weiyuan's sons were all in Eastern Hu to defend against the northern Rong tribe, yet he sent Liu Youzhao to the capital because of the example of his cousin Liu Jizhao. Duke Weiyuan was afraid that Liu Youzhao might be hurt by swords and lances on the battlefield, so he just let Liu Youzhao enter the Private Guard and serve in front of His Majesty. In this way, Liu Youzhao could have a bright future and a much safer future."

Considered Wei Changxian and Wei Changying suffered losses on account of the Liu Family last year, naturally, Wei Changying was a little unhappy about having a connection with the Liu Family. Perhaps the fifth branch of Liu Sihuai's family did it, or perhaps Liu Sijing’s branch did it. In short, it was the Liu Family. Besides, since Wei Changying got married, her eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Liu hadn't been a good person.

But it was her husband’s suggestion, and she had pestered him about it. Wei Changying pondered for a while, and said critically, “Liu Youzhao’s usual weapon was the Eight Treasure Plum Blossom Silver Hammer. It could be seen that he had good physical strength, yet his appearance was gentle. I didn't pay much attention to him last time... Those who are weak in appearance but strong in substance are generally strong in temper. My cousins are young and weak, we'd better look for someone with a more generous temperament."

"Liu Youzhao has a fair temperament, and he is much gentler than Duanmu Wuyou." Shen Cangfeng explained, "He just doesn't talk much, but he is not as silent as Gu Wei."

Speaking of Gu Wei, Wei Changying suddenly remembered something and said, "When we were just married, you accompanied me back to my maiden home. On the way, we met Gu Ziming and Gu Wei. They were going to visit Zhang Pingxu that day...Wasn't it about Princess Linchuan's marriage? Why has nothing happened so far?"

"The result was almost certain." Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "Mostly it would be Gu Wei to marry Princess Linchuan."

"How could it be Gu Wei?" Wei Changying was surprised.

Shen Cangfeng turned to Wei Changying, stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of her nose gently, and asked with a smile, "Why couldn't it be Gu Wei?"

"On the birthday of Princess Linchuan, I entered into the palace with mother to congratulate her. I saw that the Honored Consort invited Princess Linchuan to stay in Mingguang Palace for a few days. Princess Linchuan agreed first and then asked the Empress." Wei Changying said puzzledly, "Her Royal Highness was clearly closer to the Honored Consort, therefore, I thought it might be the young master of the Deng Family to marry her!"

Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "Originally, the Honored Consort and the Empress had been fighting secretly for the candidate of Princess Linchuan's husband. However, it seemed that Deng Xiangzhi took the initiative to withdraw. The other nephews of the Honored Consort were either married, or they were not old enough, or they were not as good as Deng Xiangzhi in appearance and talents. The Honored Consort had no other candidates, so she didn't care about it."

"Why did Mr. Deng refuse the marriage?" Wei Changying asked in amazement. Because she was saved by Deng Zongqi, Wei Changying was always grateful to him. When she mentioned him, she would respectfully call him "Mr. Deng" even though he was not in front of her. After hearing that, she was puzzled and said, "I heard that Mr. Deng's parents had passed away, and because of some old grievances between the elders, the Deng Family treated Mr. Deng and his sister quite badly. If he could marry Princess Linchuan who was loved by His Majesty, wouldn't it be better for him in the future?"

Shen Cangfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know why. After all, Gu Wei and Deng Xiangzhi are both colleagues. Before that, I had been sent by the imperial command to ask Zhang Pingxu, and I was afraid that they would misunderstand me."

Then he guessed, "Deng Xiangzhi loved his younger sister very much, perhaps it was because of his younger sister. After all, Princess Linchuan was not very easy-going. Maybe he was worried that after the princess married him, she would be arrogant and willful, thus his younger sister might be upset. "

Wei Changying heard that Deng Wanwan was so loved by her elder brother from Song Zaishui, and it was said that the descendants of royal families were proud of their noble status and they scorned the crowd as well as their husbands. She also felt that it might be the greatest reason. Then she said, "Mr. Deng was now over 20, and he had not been married. Yet he refused to be the son-in-law of the royal family for the sake of his younger sister. He was really a model of a virtuous brother... Well, Mr. Deng still had no wife. He was afraid that Her Royal Highness might upset his younger sister, but what do you think of my elder cousin? She had a good temperament, and she might get on well with Deng Wanwan."

Shen Cangfeng pondered over it and said, "Xiangzhi is excellent. Now it's just the two of us. To be honest, I don't approve of getting engaged with him."

Wei Changying asked in surprise, "Why?"
