Hearing the steward say this, Sheng Mingyu asked the steward to light the candle in the ear room.

The steward lit a few candles in the chamber, and the chamber lit up at once.

The steward said that these boxes were all sent by people from the Yuan Wangfu.

The Sheng family has no contact with the Yuan Wangfu, why did the Yuan Wangfu send a few big boxes over?

Let the steward open the boxes in front of him in turn, a red lacquered wood box was full of fabrics, Sheng Mingyu stepped forward and touched a few pieces of fabric, all of which were fine brocade.

These brocades, if they are outside those silk villages and cloth villages, are worth dozens of taels of silver a horse, to say the least.

Sheng Mingyu asked Anxin to count the fabrics in the box, there were three Yun brocade, three Hua brocade, and a few good fabrics from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The brocade cloth in this box is worth a few hundred taels of silver, to say the least.

It's just that she doesn't know what she wants to do when Yuanwangfu asks people to send this box of brocade cloth?

No, these brocades should have been sent by Chen Cang.

What was his intention in sending so many brocades?

Three more boxes were opened, one containing some rouge gouache, one containing some knick-knacks, and one containing a few clothes that had already been made.

Looking at the style color, it looks like the azure pleated skirt that is the most popular in Tokyo today.

The blue dress, worn on the woman's body, is like a cloud on the horizon.

Knowing that Sheng Mingyu was in the ear room, Mingjue came over with a book.

Looking at the several large boxes in the house, Mingjue didn't know what was inside, and approached Sheng Mingyu and asked.

"Sister, what's in these boxes? Who sent these things?"

Sheng Mingyu smiled and patted Mingjue's head, if she didn't explain these things clearly to Mingjue, with Mingjue's suspicious and thoughtful nature, she would definitely ask others.

Instead of letting Ming Jue go down and ask others, she simply told him now.

"It's all brocade cloth, a few clothes, some rouge gouache! It was sent by someone from the Yuan Wangfu. ”

"Our family has no contact with the Yuan Wangfu, why did the Yuanwang Mansion ask someone to send these things over? Could it be that the boy sent it that day?"

Looking at the big boxes in front of him, Ming Jue remembered.

On that day, a man in black took his sister and went somewhere.

Could it be that these things were sent by the man in black that day?

Seeing Mingjue contemplating something, Sheng Mingyu said busily.

"Mingjue, these things were all sent by the Juzi family who my sister rescued in the square that day. Maybe some relatives of the Yuan Wangfu were also among those sons that day. In order to thank me for saving my life, I was specially sent here. ”

Only this explanation can make Ming Jue believe that what she said is true.

Hearing Sheng Mingyu say this, Mingjue also felt that Sheng Mingyu was right.

Their Sheng family and Yuan Wangfu never knew each other, and Yuan Wangfu suddenly sent so many things, not to thank my sister for finding out the real murderer of Mr. Zhang in the square that day, and helping someone in Yuanwangfu to get out of the predicament.

What else could it be?

"Mingjue, you have to know. The human relations in this world are all based on interests. If it weren't for my sister's usefulness, they wouldn't have sent so many things. These things are useless, but if we ask someone to take them out and sell them, we can still exchange them for some silver. ”

The contents of the four big boxes in front of him, Sheng Mingyu would not move.

She would tell the steward to go down and find a suitable opportunity, to find a buyer who could afford the price, and sell all these things.

Now she needed silver.

The contents of these four big boxes didn't do much to her.

Rather than pile up ashes here, it would be better to turn it into silver.

After instructing the steward a few words, Sheng Mingyu handed over the responsibility of selling the contents of the box to the steward.

The thin middle-aged man in front of him is the money manager in the Sheng Mansion now.

Money stewards are the ones whose mothers left them for her.

She has always been loyal to her, and she can rest assured that he will sell these things.

……

Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Liuxiangju, the courtyard of Mrs. Xu's own home.

Xu is now the original wife of Yongding Hou Shizhang, and she is also Shiquan's biological mother and the wife of Yongding Hou's house.

The Xu family was born in the Xu family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xu family is also a famous family in the local area.

The reason why the Xu family married to the Yongding Marquis Mansion was because the old Marquis of Yongding chose the Xu family from several major families in Jiangnan at a glance.

In the small flower hall, today, Mrs. Li of Pingyang Hou came into the house, and Xu accompanied her in the small flower hall, and the two talked and laughed in the hall.

A few days ago, Mrs. Yongding Hou won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li also promoted her and made her a first-class edict.

And the Pingyang Marquis Mrs. Li next to her is from the mother's family of the Empress Dowager Li, and she is also the person who was named Mrs. Yipin's order many years ago.

In front of Mrs. Li in Pingyang, the Xu family restrained a lot.

"I heard that these days, your Quan'er and the second girl of the Shengguo Mansion are getting closer! Outsiders have rumored that your family Quan'er has made up her mind and wants to marry the second girl of the Shengguo Mansion. ”

Pingyang Hou's wife Li Shipi glanced at the Xu family beside her with a smile, and said.

"How can this be? Didn't you hear it wrong? The one who has a marriage contract with my Quan'er is Sheng Mingyu, the eldest girl in the Sheng family's room, not the second girl of Sheng Guogong. ”

Xu Shi smiled wryly, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face.

Seeing that the Xu family was concealing, the Pingyang Marquis's wife Li did not continue.

Since Xu didn't want to tell her, she didn't want to continue to ask.

But what's going on here?

Xu knew much more in his heart than she did.

After Pingyang Hou's wife Li left, Xu asked the big girl Fang Xue next to her to invite Shi Quan over.

How did this get out, she must ask him well!

Because he wanted to see his son, Xu went back to the house and changed into a big red Hunan embroidered gown, put on a round bun, and put a hairpin inlaid with red gold peony and rubies.

The ruby on the hairpin is dazzling in the sunlight.

This is one of the tokens of the promise between Yongding Hou Shizhang and Xu.

At the beginning, Shi Zhang held this hairpin, went to Xu's house, and married Xu's back.

Seeing Shi Quan coming over with an angry face, Xu's face was full of unhappiness, and before his son approached her, he began to scold.

"DID YOU KNOW? The news that you want to marry the second girl of the Shengguo Mansion has spread throughout the city of Tokyo. Could it be that you are trying to ruin our family's reputation? Are everyone else talking about our family behind their backs? ”

Hearing Xu's words, Shi Quan's anger on his face was even stronger, and he opened his mouth despite the fact that there were still maids and maids in the house.

"Ah Niang, how could I not care about the reputation of our Hou Mansion? I don't know, how did I get out of the way?"

"I took Ruyu to the Sheng family's mansion and met Sheng Mingyu. I thought I would coax her and let her marry smoothly. But who knows, she doesn't want to marry into our family! He also said that he wanted to divorce his son?"

"What? Did she really say that?"

Listening to what Shi Quan said, Xu's face was full of surprise.

Immediately afterward, she pressed again.

"Didn't she eat the gall of a male leopard and say such a thing? She wants to get out of the marriage? Is it her time to propose this divorce? ”

"Don't you look at what kind of character she is? The Sheng family's house has declined, and today's Shengguo Mansion is in full swing! ”

"Son! She wants to get out of the marriage, and it will be done! She divorced from our family, and you can go to Sheng Guogong's mansion to propose marriage and marry Sheng Ruyu. ”

Shi Quan was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, in A-Niang's heart, she was also looking forward to him being able to divorce Sheng Mingyu.

After retiring the maids and servants who were waiting in the small flower hall, Xu left Shiquan down, and had something to explain to him.

"I heard that there is a treasure map of the previous dynasty hidden in the Sheng family's mansion, and the reason why the Duchess of Sheng Guo wants to take the mansion in her hand is to get the treasure map of the former dynasty. Have you ever asked her if there is a treasure map?"

The reason why Xu has never let Shi Quan and Sheng Mingyu withdraw from the marriage.

There are two reasons, one is that I heard that there is a treasure map in the Sheng family's mansion, and only Sheng Mingyu knows about that treasure map.

Quan'er married Sheng Mingyu and came back, and the Sheng family's mansion was not like picking up things.

Getting Sheng Mingyu is equivalent to getting a treasure map.

Second, I heard that in the Sheng family's mansion, there is still a recipe for refining immortal medicine.

If she gets the recipe, she can also get this legendary immortal elixir.

It's a pity that her original good calculation fell through.

No, no matter how you say it, you have to ask Quan'er to ask for the treasure map of the former dynasty before you get out of the marriage.

"Quan'er, these days, don't be in a hurry to propose the divorce, you coax that Sheng Mingyu first. At least ask her what we want! What's more, the Sheng family's mansion hides the treasure map of the previous dynasty, you must not mention it to others! ”

Xu Shi looked at his son in front of him and reminded him earnestly.

"What A-Niang said, my son understands. The son will definitely not propose to withdraw from the marriage first! ”

Shi Quan stayed and said a few words with Xu's family, and then left Xu's Liuxiangju.

After a few more days, the injury on Mingjue's hand was almost healed, but he couldn't do too heavy work.

Sheng Mingyu felt sorry for his younger brother, so he asked Mingjue to stay in the house all day long, reading and practicing calligraphy.

Exercise your right hand properly so that you can recover better.

On this day, Sheng Mingyu went to the stall of Miaoyuan Xianguan, sold an alchemy prescription, and helped one or two people to tell fortunes and measure words.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sheng Mingyu was about to close the stall and go home.

When passing by Shou Chunbo's Mansion, Sheng Mingyu remembered Xu Min.

I haven't seen her these days, and I heard that she went back to Xu's house, and afterwards she was coaxed and tricked by Mrs. Shou Chunbo and Qi Ming to go back to Qi's house.

Sheng Mingyu knew that Qi Ming would definitely not want to see her, so she didn't want to go into the mansion to see Xu Min.

Instead, she found the porter of Shouchunbo's Mansion and sent a message to Xu Min, and invited Xu Min to come out, and she was waiting for her to come in the teahouse outside Shouchunbo's Mansion.

It didn't take long for Xu Min to get the news, so he took the maid out of the house and came to the teahouse where Sheng Mingyu was.

"Mingyu, I don't know if you want to say anything to me when you call me out?"

Seeing that Xu Min has a good complexion, is neatly dressed, and looks young, he knows that these days in Shouchun Bofu, presumably Qi Ming is not too embarrassed for her.
