Chapter 258: Dowry

"Huh?" Shi Qingqian looked confused, if there was a mirror in front of her now, she would be able to see her expression like a gourd, "Xiaolian, you talk well!" ā€

Xiao Lian smiled, not afraid of Shi Qingqian's weak threat at all, "Miss, these are all sent by the people of Yanwang Mansion!" Said that there will be a batch of ...... later" As she said that, she leaned in front of Shi Qingqian, deliberately lowered her voice and said quietly, "The eldest lady said...... I'm here to propose to you, Miss! ā€

"Huh?"

"Wow!"

Shi Qingqian and Xue Ying made completely different reactions at the same time, Xue Ying jumped three feet high, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, while Shi Qingqian blushed and looked even more confused-

"Who, who's proposing to me!"

Xue Ying was very unhappy with Shi Qingqian's slow reaction, and said with disgust: "Miss, are you stupid!" Naturally, it was Shen Xiaowang who proposed to you! ā€

Shi Qingqian knew that there would not be a second person in this world who could bring so many bride prices and 'another batch' to propose to him later, but ...... Shen Shu: This is too sudden, right? She was still a child...... She's not ready yet!

For a while, Shi Qingqian only hated herself for being sick for more than ten days, so that she didn't even know a little bit of news outside, and suddenly a little prince proposed marriage, she really didn't know whether to be happy or what to do!

"No! I'm going to ask my dad and mom! ā€

After that, Shi Qingqian rushed straight into the main hall, in fact, everyone could see that the more she faced these bride prices, the more she would blush.

rushed to the main hall in one breath, and Shi Qingqian saw everyone waiting there, including the ladies in the second and third rooms, and Lin Xiaoniang, Shi Shuning and Shi Zhenxiang.

The eldest lady was dressed in a dark purple dress, looking particularly dignified and luxurious, at this time she was holding a brocade book and reading it carefully, and from time to time she also talked to the people around her in a few words, without asking, Shi Qingqian guessed that it must be the so-called 'bride price list'.

Shi Yuan sat on the main seat and talked happily with Shi Heqing, the master of the second room.

Seeing Shi Qingqian coming in, the eldest lady hurriedly put down the things in her hand and greeted Shi Qingqian cordially, "Er! You're back, come here! ā€

"Mother! What's going on with those things out there! Shi Qingqian walked over, a little inexplicably angry, because when she saw that everyone was there, only she didn't know, she actually felt a little unfair.

"Good girl, those are all bride gifts from Shen Xiao Wangye," the eldest lady grabbed Shi Qingqi's waist and shook the brocade book in her hand, "These are the bride price lists, Shen Xiao Wang Ye is here to hire you!" ā€

Shi Qingqian didn't even look at the bride price slip in the eldest lady's hand, pouted, and was a little unhappy, "That's ...... Where is he? ā€

"I'm coming, Ran'er."

As soon as Shi Qingqian's words fell, Shen Shu walked in from outside the door, and after answering Shi Qingqian's question, he saluted Shi Yuan and the eldest lady before he said: "Mrs. Shi, I have brought the rest of the bride price, and the people are going inside." Later, Mrs. Hardship, you will check them one by one. ā€

"Little prince, please take a seat!" Shi Yuan hurriedly said.

Shi Qing said in his heart, no wonder there was an empty seat next to his father, it turned out to be for Shen Xiaowangye.

When Shen Shu came over and sat down, he deliberately squeezed his eyes at her, Shi Qingqian didn't look at him, but he caught a glimpse of Shi Zhenxiang and Shi Shuning, whose faces were green.

Alas...... It seems that after this 'hiring' thing has passed, I will have to attract people to hold grudges again.

Her own sisters are still like this, she doesn't have to guess, and she knows how the ladies of other people's families who want to marry Shen Shu hate herself.

The eldest lady put down the brocade book in her hand, she didn't think Shen Shu thought that she had given Shi Qingqian to him for those dowries.

"Ahem, Lord Shen, we have already seen the dowry list, in fact, it is just a lower hire, and you don't need to move these things like this." Shi Yuan deliberately cleared his throat and said.

Shen Shu, who I saw in the court on weekdays, was just a colleague or a monarch and a minister, but today's Shen Shu suddenly became his 'quasi-son-in-law', and Shi Yuan, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, was really a little nervous.

Shen Shu rarely showed a second expression of indifference to others, "Master Hou, you are laughing, since I am going to marry Er'er, I should show some sincerity, if I am not even willing to bother with the dowry, how can I let Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou rest assured that they will marry Er'er to me?" ā€

This Shen Shu has not proposed to himself, but he jumped directly to the step of meeting his parents to talk about marriage, Shi Qingqian is the first time to experience it in his previous life or in this life, and he is really a little ...... Blushing.

I knew that I should have avoided it first.

"However, how can there be a dowry sent by the man himself......" That Lin Xiaoniang was really angry with Shi Qingqian's spirited appearance, when she thought that her daughter had no official wife in this life, she felt hatred in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said sourly, "Parents and elders come to give a dowry, this is the rule, parents are not there, the emperor should appoint the little prince's nurse or matchmaker to come, and the little prince himself came with something, what is this like?" ā€

"Shut up!" Shi Yuan said sharply, "How about Xiao Wang Shen, how can you intervene again!" ā€

Lin Xiaoniang's words pierced the heart, who didn't know that Shen Xiaowangye's parents died as soon as he was born, and the nurse died early, as for the emperor, he once stated that he would not give them an edict to marry during the martial arts competition that day, everyone knew, just don't say it, but Lin Xiaoniang just wanted to put it on the table.

Shi Qingqian looked at Shen Shu worriedly, seeing that he didn't have any other reaction, but his face was a little more indifferent and serious, and he couldn't see anything unusual, or even ...... I didn't go to see Nalin Xiaoniang.

"Lin Xiaoniang's words are not right," Shi Qingqian couldn't see the most, that is, Shen Shu was wronged, she took a step forward and retorted, "The previous marriages were not all the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and the parents and matchmakers should come to the dowry, but it is not the rules, the emperor has personally said that the marriage of the little prince Shen is decided by him alone, but you want to let the little prince Shen go to the matchmaker, I don't know if you want to ask the little prince Shen to go against the emperor's will, or do you think the emperor's words are wrong......"

"I—I don't mean anything else!" Lin Xiaoniang was really frightened by Shi Qingqian's words, she was just thinking about Shi Qingqian's face, but she said in a few words that she was dissatisfied with the emperor.

"Er, I know you protect me," Shen Shu smiled lightly, "But don't worry about inconsequential people, I'm here to propose to you today, don't let other things be delayed." ā€
