Chapter 14 The so-called house fight
Shen Mingjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, Eunuch Hua really is, as always, loves to think about things.
The guards carried boxes of dowry into the Rose Garden, and Eunuch Hua handed over a thick gift list to Shen Mingjiao,
Shen Mingjiao took it, flipped through it casually, feeling a little surprised. These are almost all the belongings of King Su’s mansion except Huitong Bank, except for the warehouse that she has been thinking about for a long time.
Eunuch Hua smiled and said: “His Highness personally selected and ordered this old slave to deliver them one by one. It can be seen that His Highness also has a deep affection for the girl.”
Shen Mingjiao didn’t even raise his eyes, and bluntly exposed him: “You think too much, Your Highness, he is not that kind of person.”
Grandpa Hua wanted to say something else, but she continued: “If it were him, he wouldn’t make such a big fuss, he would just give money directly.”
Hua Gonggong smiled awkwardly: “You really understand Your Highness!”
“However, although His Highness did not personally choose these, they were also ordered by His Highness.”
The fact is that after he learned of some rumors about Shen Mingjiao in the wine shop, he proposed to King Su that it was time to hire the princess.
At that time, Feng Lisheng was concentrating on replying to the official document, and said without raising his head when he heard the words:
“No need. Since the token representing the property of King Su’s Mansion has been given to her, the entire King Su’s Mansion belongs to her. How troublesome it is to send it back and forth!”
Eunuch Hua looked at him inexplicably, thinking that it is thanks to His Royal Highness that he has a good background, otherwise he would have been single for the rest of his life based on his straight-line thinking.
Shen Mingjiao did not continue to pursue this topic, and accepted these betrothal gifts openly. She only thought it was Huan Gonggong’s idea, after all, this previous life was dedicated to matching her and Feng Lisheng.
As for Feng Lisheng, a man who can’t even tell the difference between a step and a hairpin, you still expect him to know how to give gifts!
Finally, Eunuch Hua left behind a guard to secretly protect Shen Mingjiao, and then left with them.
…
In the past few days, Shen Mingjiao learned the rules from the two nuns given by the palace. Although she was familiar with these things by heart, in order not to reveal the truth, she had to pretend.
Then the two nuns were surprised to find that although Princess Zhunsu was usually lazy, she learned the rules really quickly.
In addition to the fact that the emperor and empress really loved Feng Lisheng, the people sent here were naturally carefully selected, and there would not be a scene where a layer of skin was rubbed off by the nuns as rumored.
The two nuns, one surnamed Feng and the other surnamed Xu, are very kind, at least it seems so.
Nurse Feng is good at recuperating the body with medicinal diet, while Nurse Xu is good at embroidery.
On this day, Shen Mingjiao was discussing with Nanny Xu about the newly designed clothes with great interest.
A woman in charge came over, “Miss Si, Madam, please go to Shou’an Courtyard.”
Shen Mingjiao took a look at the person who came, and raised her eyes, “Okay, I’ll go over now.”
Haitang quietly tugged at her sleeve, and said in a low voice: “Why did the old lady suddenly want the girl to come over, and even sent Madam Wu over?”
Shen Mingjiao said inexplicably: “Obviously, the person who came was not kind!”
…
When Shen Mingjiao arrived at Shou’an Courtyard, the main hall was already full of people, and people from the three houses of the Hou Mansion all came.
She raised her lips with great interest, which was quite a shock!
Stepped forward a few steps, and bowed to the chief Cui family: “Grandmother, all blessings!”
Cui glanced at the towering chest that was about to come out, and the soft waist that seemed to be snapped off, and she couldn’t help showing disgust in her eyes, but she thought of something, forced herself to suppress her emotions, and said with a rare kindness: “Four Girl, come to grandma.”
Shen Mingjiao didn’t move, she chose a corner and sat down, “Grandmother, just tell me if you have anything to say!”
Ever since her father married her mother under pressure, Cui shi disliked her mother in various ways, and finally forced her father to take the whole family out to take office. Later, his parents died unexpectedly, and his sister disappeared. Cui Shi hated her mother even more, so naturally she also hated her.
Unless it was a holiday, she was never allowed to step into the Shou’an Hall. It was a bit sad at first, but as time passed, she gradually seemed to forget that she still had a grandmother.
Ms. Cui probably didn’t expect him to refuse directly, her face was very ugly, and Marquis of Yongchang, Shen Ji’an, was afraid that his mother would say something out of anger. Hastily smiled and said:
“Fourth girl! Uncle is really happy for you that you can marry into Prince Su’s mansion. I believe that the second younger brother under Jiuquan will be very pleased if he knows that you are so promising.”
Shen Mingjiao took a look at her uncle. All the men in the Shen family have good looks, but it’s a pity that Shen Ji’an really doesn’t have much skills, but he likes to dig around.
She said lightly: “Uncle, I was joking. If my father finds out, I’m afraid he will be very sad. After all, my father has always been upright, and he has never been ashamed to use his daughter’s clinging to the powerful in exchange for his career!”
There was a moment of silence in the main hall, but Shen Ji’an was not at all embarrassed by the irony, and continued to laugh and say:
“According to the usual practice, two concubines will be added in the second half of the prince’s wedding. Although you are the main concubine, fourth girl, you have seen our mansion go down year by year. If two more side concubines with high family status come here at this time, four What are you going to do when the time comes, girl?”
Shen Mingjiao slightly raised her eyebrows: “Then what can uncle do?”
Shen Ji’an’s eyes flashed, and he said persuasively: “Since you want to choose a side concubine, it’s better to choose one of your own. This will not affect your position as the main wife, and it will also give you an extra helper in the backyard.”
Shen Mingjiao seemed to really listen, and asked following his words: “Oh, who do you think is the best choice?”
Shen Ji’an only acted as if she had never seen anything in the world, and was bluffed by his few words, so she couldn’t help feeling proud, pointing at Shen Mingyao, who was well-dressed opposite her, and said: “Mingyao is your cousin, and she has always been a gentle girl. Son, what do you think of the fourth girl?”
Shen Mingjiao glanced at Shen Mingyao, who gave her a timid smile.
“Uncle, that’s a good idea, but—”
She stood up, looked down at Shen Mingyao: “Is my cousin as beautiful as me?”
Shen Ji’an’s face twitched, staring at her extremely beautiful and peerless face, he was a little stuck for a moment. But I heard her go on:
“Or is the cousin talented?”
Shen Mingyao’s face turned pale, and he lowered his head as if he was about to cry.
“Or…” She looked at Shen Mingyao, and lightly curled her red lips: “My cousin is really good at bedtime!”
“you…”
The third aunt pointed at her and said sharply: “Why are you so shameless, can you say such things?”
Shen Mingjiao smiled lazily: “Am I wrong? Since my cousin intends to shamelessly succeed her brother-in-law, why shouldn’t she go to the Hualou to learn scriptures in advance and learn how those girls seduce men?”
Shen Mingyao’s eye circles were red, he stared at her precariously, then gritted his teeth and slammed into a side wall, as if he wanted to show his ambition with death.
Immediately, a servant girl stepped forward and grabbed him, and the third lady hugged Shen Mingyao and cried so heartbroken.
