Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dowry of the Shen Mansion
Seeing this grandmother's indifferent look, Shen Mingshan felt a little unhappy, Shen Yuanshan stopped him, and smiled gently with the old grandmother: "We are here to find the county lord of Minyi, can the grandmother help guide the way." ”
The old lady still glanced at them expressionlessly, looked at the gift box behind them again, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Put the things at the door first." Come with me, a few of you. ”
The old lady's tone was unceremoniously, the old lady originally didn't want to see them, but thinking that these few days were a good day for the county lord, maybe the county lord wanted to solve this problem himself! Maybe you can even have some fun with the county lord! After staying in the county lord's mansion for a while, she fell in love with this county lord. She can't look down on this Shen family, she used to be so bad to the county lord, but now she heard that the county lord married into the Liwang Mansion, so she ran over in a hurry, what is this?
The old lady did not hide her disdain for General Shen and the others, and the Shen family dared to show their faces to themselves when they saw a subordinate, but they couldn't vent here, so they were choked in their chests and suppressed their anger all the way.
"Here we are." The old lady took the Shen family to the gate of Shen Yafei's courtyard, and turned around and left without saying hello.
"Hey!" Shen Yaru shouted at the back of the old grandmother, wanting to stop the person, but she didn't expect the old lady to disappear in a blink of an eye.
There was no one waiting at the gate of the courtyard, so General Shen and the others had to step into the courtyard by themselves. When they entered the courtyard, they only saw the subordinates of the Liwang Mansion who were busy entering and exiting, and they only glanced at General Shen and the others curiously, and continued to busy themselves again.
"Where is Lord Minyi?" Shen Yaru grabbed a maid and asked.
The maid shook her head and pulled the clothes back from Shen Yaru's hand, turned her head and left in silence.
In fact, the people who are serving in the courtyard now are all sent by the Liwang Mansion, and they also know General Shen. When Xu Shizi listened to the report of the people sent to Huancheng by Yang Zifeng before, he also mentioned that the Shen family had also sent people to Huancheng, so he had long expected that the Shen family would come to Shen Yafei. So he had already told his people not to deal with them.
General Shen and the others felt extremely embarrassed.
"Who?" General Shen's sharp eyes shot into a thick tree in the courtyard and roared loudly.
The subordinates who were working stopped what they were doing and looked at General Shen in surprise like a monster. General Shen saw that the people on the tree did not react, and a palm wind swept over, and the trunk of the tree trembled.
"Ah~" A woman in a pink and purple dress fell from a tree, and Shen Yafei borrowed light skills to turn over a few times to save herself from injury. But when she fell to the ground, her butt still hurt a little.
"County Lord!" The subordinates heard Shen Yafei's cry and shouted. Hurriedly went over and helped her up.
"Which bastard knocked my aunt out of a tree?" Shen Yafei rubbed her buttocks, looked at the two maids and shouted, "It must be your master, and your master hates it the most." ”
"Ouch, it's painful for my mother."
"Flutter," the maid to the left laughed.
"Laugh at something, laugh at me and I'll sell you." Shen Yafei said angrily.
"County Lord, this time it wasn't our family who did it." The maid explained, and after helping Shen Yafei sit down, she motioned for her to look back.
After Shen Yafei saw General Shen's group of people, the easy-going smile just now was gone, and she scolded the maid beside her: "How do you do things, why do you let all the messy people in?" We're not in a juggley garden here, so don't put anything in there. ”
"It was brought in by Mama Liu." A mother-in-law carrying a flower plate came over and kindly told Shen Yafei.
"Where is Mama Liu?" Shen Yafei asked, then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, just drive them out." Annoyed to death, and interrupted the old lady to sleep! ”
"Yes." The maid said respectfully, and walked up to General Shen, "Several, please!" ”
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yuanshan shouted loudly.
"Something?" Shen Yafei turned her head and looked over coldly.
"Let's talk, how?" Shen Yuanshan said solemnly.
"Talk?" Shen Yafei said expressionlessly: "No need, this county lord doesn't think there is anything to talk about between us." A few of you, please go, Xiaoqing sends off guests. ”
"A few of you, please!" Xiaoqing walked over and led General Shen and a few people outside.
"You are going to get married in two days, but you can't marry without a dowry, and you can't marry without a brother who gives you a kiss, so you will be looked down upon. I know you don't want to be in touch with us, but you also have to think about your future life, you still have to live a good life in the future, right? These things are the decency of a girl's family, and I have them all ready for you. Mrs. Shen said softly.
"No need," Shen Yafei stood up and looked at them indifferently, "Since the moment this county lord was removed from the Shen family tree, this county lord has nothing to do with the Shen family. Ready for me? May I ask in what capacity does Mrs. Shen want to handle the marriage for me? The general's wife of the Shen family? The Lord doesn't think you have that qualification! ”
"How can you talk like that, Jafe? Mother is also for your good. After Mrs. Shen listened to Shen Yafei's words, her tears remained, and Shen Yaru couldn't help but scold Shen Yafei.
"Mother? Miss Shen can't have amnesia, right? When did the lord of this county have a mother? Miss Shen doesn't want to climb relatives casually. Shen Yafei sneered.
"Let's go." General Shen said with a heavy face that he was not willing to let his beloved woman and his children be humiliated here, no matter who this person was.
"Master~" Mrs. Shen had tears in her eyes.
"Sending off!" Shen Yafei's voice raised an octave, leaving no trace of affection for the Shen family.
General Shen's family hurriedly followed Xiaoqing angrily, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Mama Liu happened to be at the door, and saw the corner of General Shen's mouth sneering. When General Shen and Mrs. Shen were about to step out of the door, Mama Liu's stiff voice came from behind them, "Please take your things with you, don't dirty our mansion." ”
"You, are you so arrogant? There is no dignity at all, how can anyone use a slave like you? Shen Mingshan was furious, a little minion dared to show their faces!
"I don't know when it will be the turn of Shen Gongzi to educate the descendants of the Duli Palace?" The cold voice of the prince reached the ears of several people.
Several members of the Shen family looked over, just in time to meet the cold eyes of Shangxu Shizi.
"Xu Shizi, how can you talk like that?" Now Xu Shizi is also the same as the two brothers of the Shen family, they are all working beside the prince, Shen Yuanshan thinks that they are also people who work together, no matter how much they say that they have affection, how can Xu Shizi let his family not step down outside? It's so faceless!
"Why can't you talk like this, is it possible that Shen Gongzi thinks that everyone has to obey you outside? This is the county lord's mansion, not General Shen's mansion. We don't use the things you send, and the things we don't use are garbage, and garbage will make our mansion dirty. Xu Shizi sneered.
Xu Shizi's words choked the Shen family's faces, but the Shen family's mouth and face have always been relatively thin, and they can't fight Xu Shizi. Shen Yuanshan had no choice but to order the subordinates in the house to bring out the gifts. After the people of the Shen family went out, Shen Yuanshan deliberately stayed at the end and left, and looked at Xu Shizi seriously before leaving: "You will be good to her, right?" ”
Xu Shizi sneered, at this time, he found out that he wanted to be good to Shen Yafei, would it be too late?
"In what capacity did Shen Gongzi ask this question to this son? Xiaoya's brother? I'm sorry, but as far as this son knows, Xiaoya doesn't have any brothers. The eldest son of the Shen family? I'm sorry, you're just a stranger to Xiaoya. This Shizi doesn't want strangers to have anything to do with Xiaoya, since they are all unrelated people, there is no need for Ben Shizi to tell you how Ben Shizi wants to treat Xiaoya, or promise you anything. You are not qualified to ask this son of the world! ”
"We've been working together for a while. No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a friendship, can you speak politely? Shen Yuanshan's face was also not good.
"Friendship is friendship, but it's about Xiaoya, this son doesn't care what kind of friendship he has, even the emperor doesn't have any love to talk about." Xu Shizi said sternly.
Shen Yuanshan listened to Xu Shizi's words, but smiled with relief. Xu Shizi was able to say such a thing, which meant that he had already regarded Shen Yafei as his own person. Xu Shizi's words just now were full of possessiveness and protection.
"Thank you!" Shen Yuanshan said sincerely.
Xu Shizi understood the meaning of Shen Yuanshan's words, and seeing that his attitude was so good, he was no longer embarrassed for him, and nodded at him slightly. Shen Yuanshan also retired.
Facing the back of Shen Yuanshan leaving, Xu Shizi said: "You'd better remember that she has nothing to do with your Shen family in the future." If you really feel guilty, don't come to her, just treat them as strangers. Just don't block her! ”
Shen Yuanshan's body paused, a sarcastic expression appeared on his face, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes. He struggled to control his urge to turn back, forcing himself to keep going. When he saw Shen Yafei just now, and saw the strange coldness in her eyes, he already felt that Shen Yafei had really included everyone in the Shen family in the list of strangers, strangers who had nothing to do with it! Yes, appearing in front of her is adding to the blockage. Self-righteous compensation may be an inconvenience to others.
After the Shen family walked out of the county lord's mansion, their faces were full of resentment and chagrin, and Shen Yafei's expression just now told them that they had nothing to do with her. For her, the Shen family has nothing to do with it. This is also the first time that the Shen family feels the pain of being separated from Shen Yafei. They would be sad to be ignored by someone who has not been treated well by them. None of General Shen and the others criticized Shen Yafei's rudeness, and left the county lord's mansion in relative silence.
"How's the county lord? Is she okay? After the Shen family left, Xu Shizi asked Xiaoqing, the maid he sent to Shen Yafei. He was worried that Shen Yafei would be uncomfortable when he saw the Shen family.
Xiaoqing replied: "The county lord is fine. He was swept off the tree by General Shen, but he was not injured. ”
"Okay, I know, then you go back and take care of the county lord." Xu Shizi said.
"Yes." Xiaoqing retreated to Shen Yafei's courtyard as instructed.
"Xiaoya, are you okay?" Xu Shizi also followed Xiaoqing back to the courtyard, and when she entered, she saw Shen Yafei sitting at the stone table without saying a word, and Xu Shizi was worried that she was stimulated by the Shen family.
Shen Yafei is very helpless about the title of Xu Shizi, since it was confirmed that the two were going to marry yesterday, Xu Shizi has been calling her Xiaoya, and she is unwilling to change her words.
"What can I do?"
"It's okay." "If you're bored, I'll take you out for a walk?" ”
"No, I'm going to rest. Dabao, have they come back? Shen Yafei held her cheeks weakly.
"Not yet, you have so many things, and everything is important. And you can't let other people help, and letting others recognize it will add to the chaos. So everything has to be done by your maid herself, and you know how to place those things. You have so many things, and the day hasn't passed yet, how can they be busy so quickly? Xu Shizi knew that Shen Yafei was bored.
"I'm just going to see our new clothes, let's take a look, right? There are also accessories, let's pick them together, and if you don't like them, we can change them again. Xu Shizi said softly.
"No, no." Shen Yafei lay on the table weakly, her expression a little dull.
Xu Shizi didn't feel good when he looked at her, sat down next to her, and asked with a wry smile, "What's wrong?" Is marrying me so uncomfortable? ”
Shen Yafei shook her head weakly, sighed and said: "No, I just finally have a home, and I live a good life, at least for myself, I am free and easy, I don't have to be restrained by others, how easy I am!" But when you enter your palace, it feels like being in someone else's house. ”
Xu Shizi touched her head distressedly as she listened, "Don't worry, I promise you that your life in the Liwang Mansion can be as comfortable as in the County Lord's Mansion. You can do whatever you want, no one will restrain you, you don't have to worry about your reputation or anything outside, you can teach whoever you like. Whatever happens, I'll take care of it for you. Anyway, do you think I've cared about fame or anything over the years? Even if you make trouble, you won't make more trouble than me, right? No matter how you say that the Liwang Mansion still has me as a backing. ”
"Thank you!" Shen Yafei looked at Xu Shizi gratefully, she knew that Xu Shizi was good to her.
Xu Shizi stretched out his hand to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, he knew that Shen Yafei was not easy, and it would be difficult for her to accept a strange place. After all, she has been hurt by the closest people in her family for so many years. Now that I finally have a home of my own, I have to give up because of the power of the Queen Mother and the Queen.
"Xiaoya, let's try to live a good life, okay?" Xu Shizi looked directly into Shen Yafei's eyes gently.
Shen Yafei looked at him blankly, at a loss for a moment. This scene reminded her of her past life, and Xu Shizi had found her more than once, and asked her in this pleading voice if she could let him take care of her. But at that time, she was completely uninterested in other people and things. Besides, before that, Xu Shizi had also helped Lin Wanxin deal with her, she didn't hate anything in her previous life, she didn't hate Xu Shizi. It can also be said that she has no feelings for other people except for King Ning's affairs. Therefore, she will never agree to Xu Shizi.
came back to life in this life, when he first entered Beijing, Xu Shizi was still very good to Lin Wanxin, just like in his previous life. But Shen Yafei couldn't understand why the young prince in his previous life would want to marry such an unbearable her, when he told her this in this life, he didn't care about it in his previous life, did he know anything in his previous life? She wanted to ask Xu Shizi why she was so good to Lin Wanxin, her lips opened slightly, but she closed it when she thought about it. Perhaps, it's not time yet.
"It's okay, you can't accept it now, I won't force you." Xu Shizi looked at her and knew that Shen Yafei still couldn't accept it for a while, so he gently touched her hair and said.
Shen Yafei sighed weakly.
Although there are only three days, the prince of the Liwang Mansion attaches great importance to this marriage, and basically uses the best everything. The wedding dresses were made overnight by hiring more than 200 of the most famous embroiderers in the capital.
Jewelry can't be made fresh, so Xu Shizi went to Naan Tianlou and bought all the good jewelry in the owner's hand at a high price. These news shocked the people in the capital again, they didn't expect that the Liwang Mansion would be so attentive to Shen Yafei.
"What? The ornaments used in Shen Yafei's wedding were all bought by Xu Shizi from Naan Tianlou? I don't know who spread these news, Zhang Yuanyuan heard such news from the personal maid, and she was envious and jealous.
The wealthy families with noble status in the capital are in a circle, and there will be people who will compare and contrast with each other when they marry relatives, marry daughters, and add grandchildren. Because after the incident of Chengling Temple, Shen Yafei was the only one to do family affairs before and after Zhang Yuanyuan. On that day, when she married He Shengren, the family was already the best thing for her to marry, but it couldn't be compared with Shen Yafeibi at all.
and on the day she got married, He Shengren's injuries were not healed, and she never enjoyed the scenes of kicking the sedan car door and carrying the bride. Moreover, she also got married and found out that He Shengren was not seriously ill at all, he was obviously disabled! Zhang Yuanyuan felt that he had been deceived, but he still had He Shengren's flesh and blood in his stomach, and it was too late to regret it. When she thought that she would have to live with a crippled person for the rest of her life, her heart felt uncomfortable.
He Shengren's health is not yet well, and now he has to be served by different women every night.
Now there is also rumors that Xu Shizi is going to marry Shen Yafei, which is even more fuel to the fire for her. She didn't like Shen Yafei since she was a child, and when she was young, Shen Yafei was very popular and pressed her everywhere. Later, Shen Yafei was ostracized and was not treated by her family. Zhang Yuanyuan really wanted to make friends with her at this time. Later, Shen Yafei came back from Huancheng and was said to be a vulgar country girl, and Zhang Yuanyuan was very happy. But when she saw Shen Yafei's delicate face that was better than her, Zhang Yuanyuan became jealous in her heart, so she wanted to destroy her with He Shengren, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who married He Shengren in the end.
