"Girl, go and see, the palace is decided, and the house is full of gold and silver, and it makes people's eyes hot to watch. You can either search for it" Qiao Shan ran in, her face was red with excitement, and her eyes were open when she saw money.

Before Qiao Shan's words fell, Su Lan's voice in the wife's house stood at the door and said with a smile, "Three girls, Mrs. asked the three girls to go to the room and take a look at the dowry, the royal bride-in-law can open the eyes of the slaves and maids." ”

Shen Wanzhen went to the room with her, and the masters and slaves from all over the house gathered around to watch the excitement, this one was envious, and when they saw Shen Wanzhen coming, they all got out of the way, gossiping, "The royal marriage, the first time I saw it, the dowry was enough for several lifetimes with gold and silver." ”

"Congratulations to the third girl, minions." Everyone smiled and said hello to Shen Wanzhen.

Shen Wanzhen entered the door with a smile, "The third girl is here." Sister Xi shouted excitedly.

I saw that the mahogany boxes in the hall were all open, and the boxes were full of real gold and silver with yellow and white flowers, and the mountains and seas of gold and silver, and gold and silver utensils, thousands of horses and jewels of all colors, and countless jewels, and the end was full of brilliance, which dazzled people's eyes.

Master Shen smiled and waved his hand to greet, "The three girls come in to take a look at the dowry gift from the palace." ”

Wu is ears are warm heartbeat, eyes shining, full of gold and silver, can't take their eyes off, according to secular rules, most of these dowries should be used as a dowry, the mother's family can only leave a small part, Wu looked at the distressed, glanced at Shen Wanzhen, these gold and silver as her dowry, brought to the palace, attributed to her personal name, became her private money, even the husband's family has no right to move, this marriage, the three girls earn a lot of money, fame and fortune, but the Shen family does not get much benefit, but also to send a rich dowry, although it can not be equal to the royal family, But I don't dare to be too shabby and make the royal family unhappy.

Wu's far-fetched smile, compared to Master Shen's smile, Master Shen is not like a woman, short-sighted, distressed about money, how much to marry is also owned by his daughter, can't go to outsiders, marry a rich face and look good, leave a good impression on the emperor and the queen mother, just look at the palace's attention to his daughter, and his career will be smooth in the future.

Master Shen smiled from ear to ear, and handed the bride price list to his daughter, "Three girls, take a look, this is sent by the prince, and the queen mother and the queen mother personally purchased it." ”

Shen Wanzhen has no concept of the gold and silver in the room, and she can't figure out how much it can be, she has never seen so much gold and silver since she crossed over, and she can't count it.

Shen Xuanzhen was moved in her heart, not because he was generous, but because he valued himself, which was more precious than this gold and silver, he was her lifelong dependence, this man was the only one she gave her warmth in this world, and was willing to give her everything and spend her life with her.

Shen Xuanzhen's eyes were shining, and everyone was stunned.

After making a decision, Master Shen felt that he had underestimated this marriage at first, which was very different from his thoughts, and he had a new understanding of his daughter's position in the prince's heart, and he had a little more confidence.

Master Shen and his wife Wu were ready to redraft the dowry list, Wu looked at the old man across the kang table, pushed the original dowry list in his hand to the old man, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Master, the royal gold and silver are countless, I don't care about this dowry, I won't mind much, the old man ...... meaning."

Master Shen looked at the original dowry list, was extremely dissatisfied, and shook his head, "This is a bad word, can this dowry be less if you marry with the royal family?" The dowry is thin, do you still have the queen mother and the emperor in your heart? ”

"What does the lord mean?"

Master Shen was generous and generous, "The gifts sent by the palace are all used as the dowry of the three girls, and they are brought over, and in addition, in addition to the rich dowry purchased by the mother's family, everyone in the house fills in the makeup, in addition to the queen mother and queen, who else is richer than the three girls, the three girls have faces, and the Shen family also has a light on their faces." ”

Wu didn't dare to say a word for half a sentence, even if he did, he would only be reprimanded by the master.

The Wu family secretly calculated, marrying a concubine, the entire Shen family is half a deputy family, how much does the Wu family calculate, the lord is promoted to the next level, how much salary can be paid, the gap cannot be filled, the Shen family spends a lot, and there are two concubines who are unmarried, and it is a large amount of expenses.

Wu didn't dare to let the old man look at it, the old man was on the rise these days, and he couldn't wait to send the entire Shen Mansion to the three girls.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came in with Bao'er, smiled flatteringly at Master Shen, and squatted softly with her waist, "Concubine please give the old lady a greeting." ”

"Master, wife, Bao'er said that she hadn't seen her parents for a few days, and she wanted to come to greet her parents."

Aunt Zhang also came to explore the truth, the Shen Mansion got such a large amount of dowry money, and the master had no other concubines to give birth to children, so they were all Bao'er's, Aunt Zhang had to do everything possible to calculate, in order to bring Bao'er and his father closer to each other, she brought Bao'er here.

Aunt Zhang straightened up and pushed Bao'er behind her back, Bao'er was seven years old, she looked white and fat, like a white dough, her eyes were spinning, and she was upright and saluting, "My son has seen my father and mother." ”

Master Shen was closing his mouth to himself, and when he saw Bao'er's smile deeper, he looked at Bao'er lovingly, and said kindly, "Why didn't you go to class today?" ”

"Mr. has something at home, take a day off." Aunt Zhang was afraid that the master would misunderstand Bao'er and not study her homework seriously, so she was busy explaining it for him.

Wu was disgusted, and had to look like a grandmother on his face, beckoned Bao'er to his side, pulled the cotton clothes on his body for him, and looked at Bao'er lovingly, "In the New Year, it's cold these days, stay in the house without anything, don't go out to play, look at the cold." ”

Boa pursed her lips and snorted as if she didn't quite want to.

"Bao'er does her homework in the house after school, and she doesn't go out." Aunt Zhang hurriedly spoke for Bao'er, afraid that the old man would not like her son's appearance, and the old man studied hard when he was a child, and he couldn't see his children and grandchildren working books.

"Go down first, I have something to discuss with your wife." Master Shen is now the biggest thing about the third girl's marriage.

Aunt Zhang pulled Bao'er out of the city.

Aunt Zhang's agitation, Wu's distraction, secretly thought, at his age, he can't give birth to a son-in-law, his own blood and blood only have four girls, the private money is kept for her, and the daughter has a large amount of money to marry, even if the in-law's family is separated, she can live in peace and have no worries about food and clothing.

I changed my mind again, I have no children, the Shen family is a concubine sooner or later, no matter how good it is to him, the belly of the compartment is separated from the heart, it is not as good as the one born and raised by himself, there is no white exercise of this leisure, holding this family business, sooner or later it is someone else's, it is cheaper to give birth to his aunt, the heart is horizontal, and it doesn't matter, how much the lord loves to give depends on his will, and it also pleases the lord.

The decision has been made, so he pushed the dowry list sent by the palace to Master Shen's eyes, "The concubine listens to the master in everything." ”

Master Shen looked at his wife and was very satisfied, "Mrs. Xian knows the general situation, and only for her husband can she have today's future." ”

Both husband and wife had a smile on their faces, each with their own thoughts.

Master Shen left, and Wu pinched the dowry list in his hand, and every word on it was heartwarming.

As soon as the old man came out of the house, Wu didn't have to pretend, and his face changed in an instant.

Chen Sheng's family saw that his wife's face was not good, and it was cloudy as if it was about to rain, so he explained with words, "Mrs., flatter the three girls, if there are difficulties in the mother's family in the future, the three girls will not sit idly by, the wife is not her biological mother, but the master is her father, this marriage is very beneficial to the Shen family." ”

Wu snorted coldly, and slammed the dowry list in his hand on the table, "It's good for the Shen family, what about me?" Also beneficial? Fortunately, the aunt of the third girl is gone early, if she is still there, there is still a place for me in the Shen Mansion. ”

Chen Sheng's family didn't expect this, and pondered his wife's words, too, the girls who were born and raised were all princesses, and their mothers were still concubines, isn't this a slap in the face, so he said: "Fortunately, the third girl has face, and the wife can rest assured." ”

Heart, if it is called as the fifth girl or the sixth girl goes up, then Aunt Zhang and Aunt Ding are not trouble-free, and they have not overturned the sky of the Shen Mansion, Mrs. has been suppressing the aunt, from the concubine, mother and daughter are connected, the daughter is not married well, and the blow to the aunt who gave birth to her is devastating.

Thinking of this, Chen Shengjia whispered: "The third girl became the wife of the king of Anyang, and she hit the fifth girl a lot, and even Aunt Zhang was disgraced, and she felt uncomfortable. ”

In my heart, my wife has no children, and the status of the main mother is unstable, if it weren't for my wife's means, the Shen family would have no place for her a long time ago.

Two days later, someone came to the palace, and the queen mother and queen in the palace came down to reward Shen Wanzhen again, add makeup to Shen Wanzhen, Shen Wanzhen kowtowed and thanked her, and all the things were sent directly to Shen Wanzhen's room, and her mother-in-law Wu had no right to touch it.

Closing the door, there were several ebony boxes decorated with gilded clear water and plum patterns on the table, opened them one by one, and the boxes were full of rare treasures. ”

Shen Wanzhen picked up a pure gold phoenix hairpin, sinking into her hand, and a huge emerald was inlaid in the middle of the hairpin.

She lifted it up and looked at the bright place, green with blue, clear and bright, crystal clear, like green after rain, very attractive.

She put it down carefully, and picked up a dragon and phoenix gold bracelet to take a closer look, the bracelet was inlaid with an opal, honey yellow, transparent, oily, and shiny.

In a box of jewelry, Shen Wanzhen picked out a jade pendant carved from Hetian jade, with fine knife work, exquisite ornamentation, and a warm and oily feel.

Mama Yan had been waiting for her wife in her early years, and she couldn't help sighing, and said: "These jewelry are all of the best quality in the palace, and they are rare, even if the wife can have one or two things, they are all lucky." ”

"Sister Xiuju, Sister Xiuju." There was a maid outside, calling for embroidered chrysanthemums, probably seeing that the door of the hall was closed, and she didn't dare to come in rashly.

Xiuju walked and opened the door, holding the door frame with her hand, not planning to let the maid in, and asked, "What's the matter, it's like a soul." ”

"The young lady of the Zhanbo Mansion came to the house to see the third girl, and the wife asked her to ask if the third girl could see her, and the wife said that if the third girl didn't want to see her, she would send them back."

"Take them to the flower hall and wait for me." Shen Wanzhen heard it inside, and answered the order.

In this box, close the box, move it to the box in the same way, lock it, and pin the key Shen Wanzhen.

Shen Wanzhen hurriedly walked to the flower hall, thinking all the way, the king of Anyang married, such a big move, the Bofu will not be ignorant of the road, since he knows the road, he should hide and not see, and the meeting will only increase the embarrassment, but the young lady and the third young lady of the Bofu are quite compatible with themselves, and if they don't see it, they will go and listen to what they mean here?

As soon as Shen Wanzhen's figure appeared at the door of the flower hall, the eldest young lady Zhao and the third young lady Cao stood up and saluted respectfully, "See the princess." ”

Shen Wanzhen frowned imperceptibly, and put on a smiling face, "I'm waiting for my cousin, you're welcome." ”

Shen Wanzhen hesitated instantly, what to call it, since the marriage was broken, it was still about her aunt and cousin, and she was called in the sister-in-law's brother and sister, and she was unclear, and both parties were embarrassed.

The maid served the tea again, and replaced the residual tea in the hands of Zhao and Cao with a new one, Zhao took it, covered the cup with his hand, and said with a smile first, "Congratulations cousin, I heard that my cousin will get married soon, and the two of us are here to congratulate me." ”

Cao hurriedly said; "As soon as my sister-in-law and I heard this letter, we wanted to come, but we were afraid that my cousin's house would be busy, so we waited for a few days, thinking that the preparations for the marriage were almost over, and I came to see my cousin today." Cao's brain is not bright, and he also knows that Lu Dao is not as good as calling the second sister-in-law in the former uncle's mansion, even if he calls his cousin, he is suspected of being high.

"Cousin-in-law Xie and cousin are still worried about Wanzhen."

Zhao remembered the purpose of coming here, but because he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say what his father-in-law and mother-in-law had explained.

Turning around and glancing at the girl behind her, the girl was holding a box in her arms, placed it on the table in front of Shen Wanzhen, and opened it.

"Cousin, this is sent by my father-in-law and mother-in-law to add makeup to my cousin."

Shen Wanzhen looked into the box, it was a silver ticket, and the face value was 1,000 taels.

Shen Wanzhen glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at the silver ticket in the box, and smiled faintly, "The kindness of my uncle and aunt, I deserve it, please take it back." ”

As soon as Shen Xuanzhen's voice fell, Xiuju took the box and put it back on the table next to Zhao, refusing to do it simply, not dragging mud and water.

Zhao smiled awkwardly, "My cousin knows that my cousin is not what it used to be, and I don't care about this bit of money, my cousin only asks my cousin to look at the sisterhood of Su Ri, raise her noble hand, and let go of Zhan Mansion." ”

Shen Wanzhen was surprised and said puzzledly: "What does my cousin mean?" You and I are two aunts and relatives, why do you say this? ”

Cao couldn't help it at this time, and complained: "Doesn't my cousin know what to do, the emperor and the court, in front of all the ministers, reprimanded the father-in-law, saying that the uncle's family education is not strict, and the son is messing around, which is harmful." ”

The emperor said that Cao's husband was raising a play outside, which was a signal to his uncle's mansion, in the final analysis, the queen mother did not like it, and the daughter-in-law had a relationship with the uncle's mansion, which hurt the royal face.

The queen mother's approach, Shen Wanzhen can roughly think of it, the royal dignity is inviolable, but this matter is really not something she can control, she just doesn't care about the past feud, and she can't help the uncle.

So he looked at Zhao and said apologetically: "The major affairs of the court are not in my hands. ”

Zhao knew that it was for nothing today, how could Shen Wanzhen be stupid enough to intercede for her ex-husband's family, looking at her attitude, she was eager to clear up the relationship.

The Zhao family also couldn't think of a good way, after all, the earl title was inherited by her husband, and if the earl title was gone, it would be all over.

The Cao family also wanted to beg Shen Wanzhen, but the Zhao family gave her a look, and knew in her heart that for today's plan, only the father-in-law wrote to the emperor and took the initiative to resign.

The two of them bowed their heads and said goodbye and went back to their lives.

Uncle Zhan and his wife were surprised when they heard the news of the Shen family's concubine, the nunnery was on fire, and the uncle sent someone to check, saying that the second young lady was buried in the fire, Uncle Zhan couldn't help but think, this is the golden cicada out of the shell, the Shen family has a deep plan, and has a plan early in the morning.

Mrs. Zhan was angry, "I have long seen that she can't hold on, and she made up her mind not to stay in Bofu." Mrs. Zhan wiped her tears and cried for her son, her son's bones were not cold, and her daughter-in-law remarried in a grand manner, leaving two pregnant people to have a room, and no one was waiting to see them, which became a joke in the house.

Qiaohui gave birth to a son, and the biological mother was from a low background, and Mrs. Zhan couldn't, so she had to take it to her own house to raise it, but it was also unjustifiable.

Qiaohui moved to Mrs. Zhan's upper room, leaving Aunt Ying alone to live in a remote courtyard, Mrs. Zhan was afraid that she would ruthlessly kill the child, so she sent someone to guard day and night, and warned her that if she was restless, if the child was gone, she would marry her to an old, ugly and lame family.

There was no one in charge of the second room, the trees fell and scattered, and Mrs. Zhan scolded Shen Wanzhen a few times in her heart.

Uncle Zhan was not as knowledgeable as his wife, and sighed; "The good days of my uncle's house are over."

Mrs. Zhan was panicked in her heart, and when she heard the master's words, she was stunned, and she forgot to be sad, "How can the master say this?" ”

Uncle Zhan coughed, "Why does the master sigh for no reason?" Mrs. Zhan removed the handkerchief from the corner of her eyes and looked at Uncle Zhan and asked.

"Madam, what do you think, the second daughter-in-law is now the royal daughter-in-law, the royal family wants face, if we stay in the capital, always in front of us, it is not to sweep the royal face, we have to get out of the capital, silently, save the eyes, provoke criticism."

Mrs. Zhan was not stupid, and when she understood, she was instantly stunned, and asked in a trembling voice, "How is this good?" ”

Uncle Zhan thought about it, and now he has to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and send two daughters-in-law to intercede with the Shen family.

Uncle Zhan and his wife were full of sadness, waiting for the two daughters-in-law to ask to see the Shen family to see if they could bring good news.

The day before the wedding

The king of Anyang sent someone to send a letterhead, and Shen Wanzhen put it under his nose and smelled it, it seemed to have a light aroma, and he smelled refreshed.

Shen Wanzhen opened it carefully, and there was only one line of words on the gold-edged flower note, "On the wedding day, I will bring a sedan chair to the door to welcome you." ”

Shen Wanzhen's eyes suddenly turned red, this problem is really a problem, the unwritten convention in ancient times, in dipping women can not sit in a sedan chair, Shen Wanzhen does not use a sedan chair to carry into the palace, it will become a handle, so that the people in the palace will be underestimated, and it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

The prince welcomes in person, there is no precedent in this dynasty, the royal family marries the daughter of the minister, can not be greeted in person, and the king of Anyang should sit in the palace and wait for the sedan chair to come to the door.

Zhao Shijiao broke the rules for her, and specially told her to reassure her, how could she not be moved by such thoughtfulness.

A few subordinates saw that the master's eyes were red, and the corners of his lips were curled, and he was holding the flower note in his hand, crying and laughing, all of them were strange, and they didn't say anything when they asked the master, but they knew the way when they said it.

The author has something to say: Originally, it was calculated that this chapter was written about marriage, but it seems that the next chapter has to write directly about marriage and cave houses.
