Now that the two families have set a date, the rest will be set up. It has only been half a month from now to the wedding, and it is too hasty. Fortunately, because Mao is growing up in his old age, Shen Cang's illness is not a day or two, and the two families have the heart to get married as soon as possible, whether it is a big ceremony or a dowry, they are all prepared.

By the time relatives and friends received the wedding card for the 16th wedding of the two families this month, the two families had officially passed the ceremony.

Not only was Shen Li worried that Shen Cang would not be able to survive, but Xu was also worried, so he asked the second master to bring Shen Rui forward and went to the imperial doctor's mansion for a while, not to "beat the snake stick" and ask the imperial doctor to come over to diagnose the pulse, but to ask for a prescription.

The Imperial Physician had seen Shen Cang's pulse before, and he knew Shen Cang's illness in his heart. After listening to the intention of his uncle and nephew, the old man did not put it on the shelf, and after a moment of silence, he wrote a prescription.

Shen Zhou and Shen Rui have both studied medical skills, and they are a little hesitant when they read the prescription.

The imperial physician touched his beard and said: "Lord Shen is already ineffective in medicine, and now he can't eat and can't sleep at night, if he doesn't use extraordinary methods, can he survive the half-moon period, the old man can't say...... This recipe is indeed sleep-provoking, and it can make Lord Shen last a little longer......"

Shen Zhou took Shen Rui and thanked him solemnly, and left the imperial doctor's house.

Along the way, neither uncle nor nephew spoke.

Although this recipe is used, it is indeed safer, but it really allows Shen Cang to take medication every day for the rest of the days to promote sleep? In case in your sleep...... Both uncle and nephew were in suspense.

When they returned to Shangshu Mansion, the two went to see Xu.

Xu Shi took the prescription, stunned for a while, Fang nodded and said: "In the end, trouble the old magic doctor, don't forget to make up a heavy gift when you go back......"

Shen Zhou hesitated: "Sister-in-law, can this recipe be used?" ”

Xu said: "It's just right." My lord doesn't have a sleepy pillow these days, and he has a cough for half a night, and he can sleep well with this recipe......"

Shen Rui frowned and said, "But the amount of this medicine is too large, will it be harmful to my father's body?" ”

Xu Shi smiled bitterly: "The master's body is now small and the amount of medicine is not used......"

Shen Zhou still hesitated, Xu said: "I will discuss this matter with the master, although the family is busy these days, but the second uncle should not forget the side of the ministry, the dust will settle as soon as possible, and the master can ...... peace of mind as soon as possible" Speaking of this, he said to Shen Rui: "The date is in a hurry, and Brother Rui will have to worry more about it inside and outside, and also stare at your third uncle, don't let him bother ......"

Shen Zhou and Shen Rui got up and responded and came out of the main room.

Xu went to the inner room, sat on a stool by the kang, and looked at her husband lying on the kang.

Shen Cang opened his eyes in a daze, looked at his wife sitting in front of him, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Fang Zi begged?" ”

Xu Shi responded: "Well, it is the prescription of the old doctor himself, it is to promote sleep, and the old man can suffer less sin these days......"

Before the news that the emperor sent the imperial physician to visit him, the whole family hid it from Shen Cang, but Sister Yu'er's family affairs were imminent, but relatives and friends rarely mentioned this matter, so Xu told her husband. Shen Cang had long known about his physical condition, and he had to explain more about what happened after his death, and he was not much shocked when he heard the news.

Shen Cang nodded and said, "Okay, just have a way...... Sister Yu is a good child who is sensible and filial, I really don't want to delay her......"

*

The relationship between Shen Mao's family was decided a few years ago, and now it is common for men and women to marry. It's just that the relatives and friends of the two families are wondering, which is also too hasty, and they have just received the wedding card and made a decision, and the day of the wedding is too close.

The relatives and friends of the Shen family are okay, they all know that Shen Cang is seriously ill and has been recuperating at home for several months, and the situation does not seem to be very good; The relatives and friends of the Mao family had to inquire behind their backs, and when they learned the reason for the advance of the marriage, they had their own explanations.

There is no shortage of such villains, who can't see the good behavior of others, and who can't chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that the bride's life is hard to beat the father; There are also those who wanted to marry the Mao family in the early years, so they laughed behind their backs that Mao Cheng climbed the high gate, but it was a portal that was about to fall in a blink of an eye.

In officialdom, "people go to tea and cool down", even if it is the Shangshu Mansion, they can't be counted on at all.

Except for the two relatives and friends, the people in the officialdom learned that the two families had hastily set a wedding date, and they watched coldly, and there were not one or two people waiting to see the jokes of Shangshufu.

At this glance, you can see that something is strange.

Who said that Master Shen, who was born as a champion, is not close to the clansmen? However, in a small half a month, Master Shen went to Shangshu Mansion three times, and Master Shen's wife Xie also went twice.

There is another subordinate official of the East Palace named Shen Ying, who has also been to Shangshu Mansion twice these days. There are also two scholars who often go in and out of Shangshu Mansion, and it seems that they are not bystanders, but Shen Ying's siblings.

There is also Yang Zhen of Dali Temple, who has also been to Shangshu Mansion two or three times these days. Listening to the news from the Guozi Prison, the second son of the Yang family in prison took a half-month "sick" leave, but the little fat man behind Shen Shangshu's buttocks was jumping around, where did he look like he was sick?

There is also the Shen family's in-laws, Yang Tinghe, a scholar from Zuo Chunfang University, who has also sent his children to the door these days.

Those who want to "rob while the fire is hot" think about it and be honest.

There is Xie Ge Lao behind Master Shen, and since he came forward to support Shangshu Mansion, it is not something that ordinary people can offend? Even if Xie Ge Lao retreats, there is still Yang Tinghe. The subordinate official of the East Palace, that is a hot position, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will go further, it can't be said that it is the future Pavilion Lao Shangshu, who will want to make enemies with him?

There are many juniors in the Shen family who come to help, but they are prepared in an orderly manner, but the Mao family is busy.

Although the Mao family has several relatives and friends in Beijing, they are either cousins in the next room or distant relatives. Fortunately, Mao Chi is also an old man in the Hanlin Academy, and there are also a few fellow villagers who are good friends in the Hanlin Academy.

However, scholars have always been high-minded, coupled with the customs of the south, they have always valued their heirs and neglected their concubines, and it is inevitable that some people will slander Sister Yu'er's identity. What about heirs? In the end, it was raised by a little wife. Even if everyone says that Mrs. Shangshufu is a graceful and noble character, this jade sister has only been in the long house for a few years, and now it is still two to say that **** has not **** come out.

There are also those who are straightforward and fast-talking, and they rarely show one or two breaths in front of Mrs. Mao.

"It's a well-behaved and sensible person, and when you enter the door, the aunts and aunts will know......" Mrs. Mao commented with a little reserve.

She was also slightly dissatisfied with this family affair earlier, but after seeing Xu and Sister Yu, she was left with joy. She was just the daughter of the first lifter, and she was lucky to be the wife of the champion, but when she arrived in the capital at the beginning of the year, she also made a lot of jokes. She is self-aware, and when she sees the generosity of her in-laws, Xu, she does not feel jealous, but is full of envy.

Sister Yu now has a bit of Xu's character, down-to-earth and generous, she has been in charge of the house in recent years, and she has her own bearing, and in Mrs. Mao's eyes, she is already more than ten times stronger than her husband, who is a shy lady of the same year and a fellow villager.

Outsiders only looked at Shen Shangshu who was dying now, but Mrs. Mao knew the Shen family's prestige in Nanshilin. Although the people of Shangshu Mansion are thinner, but the Shen family can flourish, isn't Xie Yuan of Nanzhili the brother of Sister Yu this year?

married a daughter-in-law and became in-laws with the Shen family, speaking of which, the Mao family still took a big advantage.

The only regret is that the marriage is too hasty, and it is inevitable that there will be a little less scenery, but now, it is also a cheap move, and it is better than letting your son wait for three years.

In a blink of an eye, on October 15, the day before the official marriage, Master Shen San took a few nephews to the Mao Mansion to send dowries.

Mao's house is very lively here, and many Hanlin ladies come over, wanting to see the grandeur of Shangshu Mansion sending women. Mao Chi has three sibling sisters, all of whom have been out of the cabinet, the eldest daughter is in the field with her husband, and the second daughter and the third daughter are married in the Beijing official family, and today they all bring their children and daughters back to their parents' homes to help.

Regarding the dowry of the future brother and daughter-in-law, the two aunts and grandmothers of the Mao family are also curious, not greedy for money. I just want to see if my future siblings are valued by their mother's family through the amount of dowry.

No matter how decent the Shen family is, a daughter who is valued by her relatives is definitely different from a daughter who is not valued by her relatives.

When the dowry is delivered, it can't be said that ten miles of red makeup, but one hundred and eight dowries can be lifted, which is one of the few in Beijing, which dazzles everyone's eyes.

Not to mention the dowry, there are two houses and two shops in Beijing, two Granges outside Beijing, and two Songjiang Granges.

Mrs. Mao only felt that her face was glowing, and the two aunts and grandmothers of the Mao family finally let go. The Shen family attaches great importance to Sister Yu'er's daughter, and if they marry their daughter like this, they can't be wrong to treat their own little brother as a son-in-law in the future.

Those Mrs. Hanlin were all smacking, and some people inevitably said sour words: "Even if it is a Shangshu master, marrying a girl like this is also ostentatious, if you are an innocent official, it is not easy to save these, so you are not afraid that the impeachment of the imperial history will not succeed?" ”

Mrs. Mao raised her eyebrows and said: "Mrs. Xu is a noble daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her dowry industry is rich, and there is only this one girl in the third room of the Shen family, so the uncle naturally has to accompany her more, and it is not uncommon for Qi Sanfang to accompany these things......"

Even if Shen Shangshu is gone, the second master Shen is Sister Yu's biological father, so won't he take care of his daughter and son-in-law in the future? Although the second master Shen is now vacant of the Nanjing Guozijian and will go to Nanjing at the end of the year, his master has made it clear that when the second master Shen returns to Beijing after finishing his qualifications, he will be promoted by one liter.

really let Mrs. Mao say that Sister Yu'er's dowry is really added by everyone.

Because the Mao family is only a medium-sized family, the Xu family didn't want to show off, so what they prepared for Sister Yu was a house, a shop, and a Zhuangzi in the capital and Songjiang, and the rest were made into a box of silver. However, Shen Zhou added a house in Beijing and a Zhuangzi outside Beijing, and the third master added a shop, and Shen Rui saw that there was a southern industry on it, so he added a Songjiang Zhuangzi.

"There is only one girl in the family, Sister Yu, the marriage date is already in a hurry, and the dowry is ......decent," Shen Cang commanded.

Xu also listened to the persuasion and increased the original dowry of 96 to 108......
