"Father!" Shen Qing saw that Shen Cheng's expression was a little wrong, and he called out again in confusion: "Father? ”

Shen Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said kindly: "Come and sit!" ”

Shen Qingwan temporarily suppressed the doubts just now, and did it in a proper manner: "I don't know if it is appropriate for my father to come to Wan'er?" ”

Shen Cheng opened his mouth, he wanted to make a joke, but he couldn't come to find it if he had nothing to do? But a pair of Shen Qingwan's deep and quiet eyes couldn't be spoken, the strange estrangement was too obvious.

In addition to being congested, Shen Cheng decided to get straight to the point, and patted the box in his hand: "You did a good job yesterday, even the old lady is praising you, this is a reward for you, I will send it over to see you by the way, now it is just waiting for the holy decree, prepare for marriage with peace of mind, if you need anything, remember to tell me, I will ask Aunt Liu to help you prepare the dowry." ”

Reward? This time it actually cashed in?

Shen Qingwan was a little surprised, and when she heard it, she couldn't help laughing at the end, and asked Aunt Liu to prepare a dowry for her? This father is not at ease!

There were so many things before the draft, but he still believed that Aunt Liu was really good to her?

Before the holy decree came down, she said that she was going to prepare a dowry, obviously she didn't care much, she didn't know who she was going to marry, and the specifications of the dowry were not clear, Shen Cheng really just opened his mouth to talk.

Shen Cheng's speculation, Shen Qing didn't bother to think about it at night.

After saying a word, Shen Qingwan didn't have thorns, and smiled, and Shen Cheng suddenly felt a lot smoother: "You don't have to worry, Aunt Liu doesn't dare to slack off on the dowry." ”

"Really?" Shen Qingwan touched the reward box, feeling a little familiar, and couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Definitely, being the wife of the prince, it is also of grade, Aunt Liu dares to do something on this, and she has fallen into the face of the Shen family, and the old lady is the first to not let her go." Shen Cheng snorted coldly, thinking that his momentum was like a rainbow.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Qingwan's eyes, then she squinted, her fingers stiffened, and she said without a trace: "Mrs. Prince? What Lady Prince? ”

As for Shen Cheng, he is used to using his wife as a villain, so it is not surprising.

When the time comes, the old lady will not let it go, but he, the head of the family, can just pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Shen Cheng smiled with satisfaction: "You performed well in the draft, King Qin was very impressed with you, and he had already sent a message yesterday afternoon, I want to marry you as my wife, don't worry about the Holy Decree." ”

Yesterday afternoon? Shen Qingwan really wanted to lift the table, she was in the palace at that time, and King Qin actually gave her a trick to secretly Chen Cang?

King Qin really calculated a good plan, and while pushing King Jin down, he also caught her off guard.

The day before yesterday, I kept people out of the door, but the news came yesterday, and I did a really good job of suppressing the frustration.

The angrier he was in his heart, the calmer Shen Qingwan became, and he even smiled.

"King Qin?" Shen Qingwan was surprised, looking at Shen Cheng's satisfied smile, she felt extremely eye-catching, and she wanted to take off her shoes and shoot them: "Father, is this going to be a concubine for someone later?" Like a few aunts in the family? ”

Shen Cheng was a little embarrassed when his daughter mentioned his affair, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "That's the prince's concubine, and the ladies are all of the grade, higher than your grandmother's fate, how can they be compared?" ”

"Hehe......" Shen Qingwan laughed, sounding even more sarcastic.

Before Shen Cheng became even more annoyed, Shen Qingwan was a little distressed: "Since my father thinks it's good, it must be good, but what should I do?" ”

Shen Cheng was stunned: "What should I do?" ”

Shen Qingwan frowned: "The Queen Mother was very happy yesterday, and said that she would give Wan'er a good marriage, at least to be the wife of the main mother, the prince's woman, there are too many candidates, if there is a late child to line up, at least it must be a side concubine or above." Hearing this, Shen Cheng was a little stupid: "Really...... It's true? ”

If what Shen Qingwan said is true, then what is it that King Qin only gives a wife?

With the Queen Mother as a guarantor, Shen Qingwan can have a higher status, and the Shen family will be able to get more benefits. Shen Qingwan blinked: "Father said it was funny, what the Queen Mother said, dare to make it up casually?" It's going to be too late! ”

Seeing Shen Cheng's excitement and excitement, Shen Qingwan's eyes hid a deep irony.

Shen Qingwan's words changed: "It's just ......"

Shen Cheng's heart has been inverted several times, up and down, and the whole person is not very good: "But? But what, finish the conversation all at once. ”

Shen Cheng is also in a hurry, since the Queen Mother dares to say that such a promise can be fulfilled, don't have any conditions to cheat people.

Seeing what Shen Cheng thought, Shen Qing couldn't hide his contempt more and more, what was there in the Shen family that was worthy of the Queen Mother's pit?

The Queen Mother has already provided such favorable conditions, Shen Cheng is both excited and doesn't want to pay, can there still be a free lunch in the world?

Shen Qingwan frowned: "However, since my father thinks that His Royal Highness King Qin is good, there must be a basis, Wan'er has rarely gone out, and she doesn't know much about the young talents in the capital, so she is naturally not as good as her father's vision." ”

Biting her lip, Shen Qingwan continued: "Although His Royal Highness King Qin is only willing to give his wife the position, and I don't know how he can convince the emperor, Wan'er is still willing to listen to his father, so he will send a message to the Queen Mother to explain his father's wishes, and the Queen Mother will definitely give more consideration to Wan'er." ”

Shen Cheng was anxious: "Wait, the Queen Mother is kind, I can't live up to it, His Royal Highness King Qin has no shortage of wives, let's act according to the Queen Mother's wishes, I don't have any opinions for my father." ”

Shen Qingwan looked at Shen Cheng with a smile, and it was not surprising that he could slap his mouth and change his mind in an instant.

Since there is a promise from the Queen Mother that she is at least a side concubine, where can Shen Cheng still look at King Qin's promise?

As far as marriage is concerned, how can King Qin's opinion be compared with that of the Queen Mother?

After speaking, Shen Cheng seemed to remember something: "Since there is a promise from the Queen Mother, why didn't you mention it to your grandmother last night?" ”

Shen Qingwan's expression was annoyed: "It was too late last night, and Wan'er was also sleepy and confused, and her grandmother didn't ask, so she forgot about it." Moreover, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Qin has such a meaning, I haven't seen King Qin in the draft, and I have always had more contact with Sister Qin. ”

She didn't know about this matter last night, so naturally she didn't have the Queen Mother's "promise".

The Shen family will not go to the Queen Mother to confirm, and in the news of King Qin, there must be conditions attached to it, and they will marry Shen Yijia as a concubine together.

Shen Qingwan said this to ask Shen Cheng to compare himself, and King Qin asked for the two daughters of the Shen family, which was obviously uneasy and kind.

Hearing Shen Yijia, Shen Cheng immediately remembered King Qin's request and thought about it.

However, he was worried that Shen Qing would really deliver the news to the Queen Mother, and immediately appeased: "Since the Queen Mother said so, it is the Queen Mother's favor to Wan'er and the Shen family, you can bear it with peace of mind, and repay the Queen Mother with more filial piety in the future, if you pass on your wishes, it will be too unreserved as a daughter's family." ”

"Moreover, the Queen Mother is thinking about you, but you decide for yourself, it will make the Queen Mother unhappy, these days you are obediently waiting for the holy decree at home, don't do anything else." Shen Cheng emphasized the last sentence.

"Then His Royal Highness the King of Qin's side ......" Shen Qing stretched out the end of the note.

"You don't have to worry, your father and your grandmother will find a way to solve it, you can wait to get married with peace of mind! I asked Aunt Liu to prepare a dowry for you according to the grade of the side concubine, if it can be higher......" Shen Cheng said this, and he was a little unconvinced: "When the time comes, just add some good things, you can rest assured, it will definitely not weaken the reputation of the Shen family." ”

It was obviously the Queen Mother's promise to Shen Qingwan, but in a blink of an eye, it became the Queen Mother's favor to the Shen family.

In the end, it was said that according to the grade of the side concubine, it was clear that it was reluctant.

You must know that compared with the dowry of the side concubine and the main concubine, the gap is not ordinarily large, and it is not something that can be made up by adding some good things.

Even the dowry is not to support her face, but not to weaken the name of the Shen family, these small details are enough to show the true thoughts of the two masters of the Shen family.

Therefore, the dowry or something, Shen Qing is not looking forward to it, it is likely to be the kind of scenery on the surface, but it is actually very pitiful.

Shen Cheng said it well, Aunt Liu is extremely easy to do such a thing, and when the time comes, Shen Cheng and the old lady will definitely not be able to find fault, and they will pit her.

Especially, if she and Shen Yijia marry King Qin together, no matter how high her status is, the benefits of the dowry will all fall into Shen Yijia's hands.

"Then according to my father's wishes, I don't have to worry about it?" Shen Qingwan asked confirmatively, afraid that Shen Cheng would play a language trap with her at that time.

"No, you stay in the yard obediently, by the way, your foot injury is well maintained, if not, ask the Queen Mother for a grace and let the Imperial Doctor take a look." Shen Cheng said with "concern", a little unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Shen Qingwan nodded, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, she really cared about her foot injury, why wasn't he begging for her father? She still owes herself a favor, and she will be grateful when she is stupid.

"However, will Sister Shu be unhappy in this way?" Shen Qing mentioned it later, and he didn't plan to let Shen Cheng do anything, just remind him first, let Shen Cheng be vigilant about this matter, and when the time comes, whether Aunt Liu or Shen Yijia want to make trouble, it will make Shen Cheng feel that they have ulterior motives.

Although, Aunt Liu and Shen Yijia originally had ulterior motives.

King Qin has already made a move, and Aunt Liu will definitely not let Shen Yijia go in order to successfully enter King Qin's backyard.

"Your sister-in-law? If you can marry well, it will also help her in the future, what is she unhappy about? "Shen Cheng was brainwashed by the old lady, and he was right at this time.

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "Father is right, Sister Shu shouldn't be so irrational." ”

This kind of thing is really quiet and refreshing.

"That's nature." When Shen Cheng talked about Shen Yijia, he naturally brought a trace of pride: "In this way, you rest first, and for the sake of your father, you will go and discuss this matter with your grandmother, His Royal Highness King Qin will not be a problem." ”

Shen Qingwan nodded, looking at the background of Shen Cheng's departure, with coldness and disdain in his eyes.

If it had been before, she would have been burned by the pride that Shen Cheng had unintentionally shown, but now, she only felt ridiculous.

It is also a skill for a man to be proud to raise his concubine, and to let his concubine go unchecked.

Seeing the prime minister leaving, Mama Xu came over and said worriedly: "Miss, you don't care what the prime minister says, you know ......."

"Nurse, I don't care." Shen Qingwan said cautiously.

Mama Xu didn't actually hear what Shen Cheng said to Shen Qingwan, she stood far away, only to see Shen Cheng leave with a happy face, obviously achieving her goal. Mama Xu came over as a habitual comfort, Shen Cheng was happy, and her own young lady must have paid the price.

But as soon as she heard Shen Qingwan call her like this, Mama Xu understood that Miss was telling the truth.

Shen Qingwan shook her head, not wanting to continue to explain, anyway, everyone will understand after a long time.

"Nurse, you show me this box, I always feel a little familiar." Shen Qingwan touched the pattern on the brocade box and felt that the craftsmanship was not bad.

Mama Xu looked at it for a while: "It seems to be Madame's, Xiangye brought it?" ”

"My mother?" Shen Qingwan's eyes lit up, and then she smiled.

What kind of reward, take her mother's things and give them to her?

Very good, it can be regarded as the return of the goods to their original owners!

With a "click", Shen Qingwan opened the box and saw a set of ruby headdresses inside.

Picked up the spring color of the begonia and looked at the light, and the grade of the current ruby was not low.

Shen Qingwan squinted her eyes and was slightly cold: "Nurse, this thing belongs to my mother?" ”

If I am not mistaken, this set of headdresses in her previous life is in Shen Yijia's hands, and it is her favorite set, so she often wears it.

Mama Xu nodded when she saw the things inside: "Yes, it was brought by Mrs. from the Gu family, the old lady inadvertently saw it and praised a few words, it happened to be the old lady's tenth birthday, every time she said that she gave a gift, the old lady mentioned this ornament, and the lady didn't understand it." ”

Shen Qing was late and sprinkled, is it still a gift for himself? It's really discerning.

It seems that the old lady's belongings in the previous life finally fell into the hands of Shen Yijia, in fact, I can't tell who owes whom!

Shen Qingwan put the step back and gently closed the box, rubbing the pattern.

No wonder it feels familiar, there are many boxes like this in the dowry left by the mother, but they are not the same, they are all brought from the Gu family!

Shen Cheng hurriedly asked the old lady to discuss and act, and the old lady was shocked when she heard it: "Really? ”

"Absolutely." Shen Cheng nodded: "I think, Wan'er won't use this matter to deceive people, isn't it easy to debunk?" ”

The old lady nodded: "That's true, in this case, His Royal Highness King Qin shouldn't reply for the time being, that's not something we can refuse." ”

As long as it comes to the glory of the Shen family, the old lady is still very shrewd.

"Mother mean, vague answers?" Shen Cheng immediately understood.

Indeed, if you directly reject King Qin, I am afraid that you will not be able to wait for the holy decree to come to an end.

"Yes, if it's a side concubine, then the second batch of holy decrees will come down at the latest, seven days at most, and we have to find a way to drag it over." The old lady secretly thought to herself: "Aunt Liu and Jia'er, you look at it more, Jia'er was the first to say that she wanted to take refuge in His Royal Highness King Qin, I don't know where she has reached His Royal Highness King Qin, and she is definitely unwilling to let go." ”

Saying that, both of them fell silent, King Qin's request, if you think about it carefully, it is really inappropriate!

"Mother, what do you mean by His Royal Highness King Qin? If he really has an exhibition with Jia'er, why did he ask Wan'er to enter the house before allowing Jia'er to follow? Shen Cheng suddenly thought of what Shen Qingwan said before he left, did she know something?

"Jia'er is a concubine in the end, she can't give a high position, Your Highness is looking better!" The old lady was actually puzzled, so she could only guess so, although the reason was a little strange.

"However, what happened before His Highness and Jia'er, why sacrifice a concubine of my Shen family?" Shen Cheng only thought at this time that Shen Qingwan was his only daughter-in-law.

"That's a matter for nobles, let's not add more beaks, now there is a better place to go in the evening, naturally we can't sacrifice it, even if it is the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Qin in the end, it is better than Mrs." The old lady was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Then let's watch first, it's only a matter of a few days." Shen Cheng responded.

"Don't take this matter out and say it, the matter has not yet been decided, lest it be done in the end, it will be a joke and offend His Royal Highness King Qin." The old lady admonished.
