A few people were talking, but they heard someone coming from the front hall, chanting loudly: "The holy decree has arrived." ”

Everyone was shocked, and hurried to the front hall, and when they came to the front hall, Shu Zhenyuan had already asked someone to open the incense case, ready to receive the holy decree. After everyone arrived, they hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and the eunuch nodded and preached loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: General Anguo is victorious...... Today, General Anguo is the Marquis of Anguo, and he is here. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shu Zhenyuan made a decree, and everyone's faces were full of joy, his own master was named the marquis, where would he be unhappy, the eunuch also smiled: "Congratulations to the marquis of Anguo." ”

Shu Zhenyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stuffed the prepared silver bag to the eunuch who delivered the decree, and the eunuch pinched it lightly, as if he was very satisfied.

"There is a father-in-law, and I invite my father-in-law to have a cup of tea." Shu Zhenyuan said politely.

"No, where does the emperor have to reply to the decree, the Hou Ye stays." The eunuch hurried away again.

"Congratulations on going further." Zhou helped Shu Zhenyuan to sit in the right position, and everyone gave Shu Zhenyuan another big gift.

"Haha, let's have fun, I ordered the kitchen to prepare more food today, so that the whole house can be happy." Shu Zhenyuan waved his hand and ordered.

Shu Manyin was a little puzzled, she didn't have this in her previous life, if she remembered correctly, her father went out this time on the orders of the emperor and went with him to investigate the Jiangnan ink corruption case.

"Congratulations Daddy." I want to think about it, but she won't forget what she should do, not to mention, it is also a great joy for her father to be crowned.

"Man'er, I haven't seen you these days, and my man'er is becoming more and more outstanding." Shu Zhenyuan was happy in his heart, but he made a joke about his daughter.

"Daddy." Shu Manyin was a little ashamed, and called out in a coquettish voice.

Shu Fangyin secretly tightened the handkerchief in her hand, she knew that as long as Shu Manyin was there, her father would not see her, not only her father, but her grandmother was also different from the two.

Aunt Feng still looks like she is not moving, and she hasn't seen how deliberately she dresses up on such an important day as today, and she doesn't have any intention of fighting for it, which makes people hate it when she thinks about it. She lowered her head and bit her lip out of sight.

And Shu Manyin, who was on the side, sneered in her heart because she had been secretly observing her actions, so she couldn't stand it? The best is yet to come.

"Master, now that the lord has been sealed, he is bound to have a banquet, when is this day set to be good?" Zhou asked on the side.

"I thought that the opportunity would be put in half a month, just with the old lady's birthday, and it would save a lot of trouble." Shu Zhenyuan knew that this banquet must be held, even if he didn't do it, there must be a large number of people who wanted to come over to make friends, although the current saint is more enlightened, but as an emperor, he still has no fewer doubts, and he is most afraid of the ministers under him to form a faction, and half of the banquet himself, so that the emperor can know that he has no second heart at all.

"Wouldn't that be too hasty?" Zhou was a little hesitant, these two things are big things, if they are done together, will they offset each other?

"Daughter-in-law, just follow Yuan'er's meaning, I think Yuan'er must have his own opinions, and besides, I don't have a whole birthday, so I don't have to make a big deal about it." The old lady somewhat understood what Shu Zhenyuan meant.

Since the two of them have made up their minds, the Zhou family also agreed, and the gifts that Shu Manyin and Shu Fangyin originally wanted to give to the old lady could only be put back, "But this is better, more people can reflect their own value" Shu Fangyin sneered in her heart: "Presumably, the people who came that day were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the birthday gift she gave out took a lot of thought, and she would only give a dead thing.

After each returned home, Shu Fangyin couldn't sit still, although it was the old lady's birthday that day, but her father also wanted to give gifts, thinking that her father was a general, she opened her dressing box, looked at her hard-earned money, and called Mama Tian.

"Mama, half a month later, my father's Xie Jun banquet will be held together with my grandmother's birthday, I want to find a good sword for my father, Mama will take all this money, if I can find the best, if I can't find it, I will find someone to make a luxurious good sword, I want to give it to my father, what does Mama think?"

Mama Tian thought about it for a while, and agreed: "The second lady has a heart, I think the master will definitely like it." ”

"Mama go and do it." Shu Fangyin saw that Mama Tian also agreed, and couldn't help but smile gloomily: "Shu Manyin, I see how you can compare to me." ”

Shu Manyin didn't go back to his yard, after his father talked to his mother, he hurriedly went back to the study, and his father gave the post to the saint in advance after the matter was done, and after returning to the house, the emperor could take a day off for a day, and then go to face the saint on the second day, which will be the father go back to the study to prepare for tomorrow's face.

"Mother, there will be a banquet in half a month, I think that my mother must be busy, I will help my mother." Shu Manyin smiled coquettishly.

"Silly boy, where do you need to worry about it, it's enough to have a mother, how many banquets have you held over the years, and you can't get out of the way." Zhou smiled.

"Mother, what did Daddy do this time, why was he promoted as soon as he came back?" Shu Manyin smiled and didn't reply, but asked about the puzzle in her heart.

"I heard your father say that the emperor asked him to handle the ink corruption case in Jiangnan, and he didn't have anything, but when he was about to return, he met the Nine Princes, and the Nine Princes praised your father for being honest and honest or something, but I never thought of getting such a big reward." Zhou obviously didn't understand the original.

As soon as Shu Manyin heard the three words of the Nine Princes, she was suddenly a little flustered, Nine Princes? Isn't it Mo Jinyu? How did he end up there, and how did he suddenly meet Daddy? Is his father's sudden arrival related to him? And why did he help Daddy? Today's situation suddenly pushed Daddy in front of everyone's eyes, is it paving the way for whom? Let his father be so memorable, is he friend or foe?

These plagued Shu Manyin like a mystery, even knowing that the feudal marquis was a good thing for them at the moment, it couldn't make Shu Manyin's tight brows loosen.

From the time when the banquet was set, Zhou's side was busy, sending posts, preparing banquets, cleaning, arranging, etc., Shu Manyin couldn't intervene, so she went to her grandmother's side from time to time. In her previous life, her relationship with her grandmother became increasingly estranged, and she didn't want to go back to her old path in this life, so she often went.

"Mama, she Shu Manyin is really too deceitful." Shu Fangyin also wants to go to the old lady these days, but every time she goes to the old lady's yard, Mama Qian, who is next to the old lady, says that Shu Manyin is already accompanying the old lady to chant and chant Buddhism, and she doesn't like to be lively, so she eats a closed door every time she goes. After a few times, Shu Fangyin intuitively thought that Shu Manyin was deliberately unable to get along with her, and she couldn't help her anger when she returned to her yard.

"Girl, don't be angry, the old lady wants to chant the Buddha, let's follow her wishes, can you really close the door and not see the girl?" Mama Tian lowered her head and said.

"What do you mean?" Shu Fangyin somewhat understood: "Mama is right, I was reckless." ”

"The girl is smart, and she can understand everything."

"Go and tell Hongxing to prepare a carriage for me, and I will go out of the city to Guoguang Temple to pray for my grandmother." Shu Fangyin hooked the corners of one side of her mouth: "This matter must not only be known to grandmother, but also to tell others, can grandma understand?" ”

"Don't worry, girl, I'll do it properly." Mama Tian naturally knows how to do it, and she is also happy that her girl has such a means, and she feels that it is understandable to play some tricks for the sake of what she wants.

Shu Manyin came out of her grandmother's yard, but saw Lilac coming from afar pouting, her face was angry, she was a little happy: "Whoever provokes our Lilac can hang an oil pot on this mouth." ”

"Miss." Lilac dragged a long voice: "Miss, you still have the heart to make fun of me, I came all the way, and I heard the little maids say that Miss will only make a show for the old lady, and the second miss of the family will go to the temple to pray for blessings, and Miss You will only want to show your face and compete for favor." ”

When Shu Manyin heard this, she understood a little in her heart, but she was not annoyed: "This makes you angry, why are you so uncontrollable." ”

"Miss, what they said is so ugly." Lilac still thinks that her own lady is too wronged, the old lady is tired of the boat, plus the person is old, it is inevitable that the body will be a little unwell, the old lady does not want to work to alarm the house, the young lady went to visit the old lady for the first time when she found out, and then she followed the following grandmother to learn some massage techniques, these days has been giving the old lady massage, sometimes out of the old lady's yard, the hand trembling can not hold the water cup. These broken-mouthed girls still arrange young ladies like this, and she naturally doesn't follow them.

"Don't worry, this is a distinction between right and wrong, the old lady knows in her heart, we just need to do our own thing." Shu Manyin raised the corners of her mouth.

Shu Fangyin made a lot of publicity, and when she returned to the house, she entered her yard excitedly: "Mama Tian, is the matter done?" ”

"If you go back to the girl, it has been arranged, and now the old lady is afraid that she has also received the news."

"That's good, the grandmother and I will go and send this hand-copied Buddhist scripture to the old lady. It's better to strike while the iron is hot. She squinted her eyes proudly, copied the scripture in her hand, and thought about the old lady's mountain rhyme garden.

In Shanyun Garden, the old lady was lying on the couch, and Mama Qian was sitting on the edge of the collapse knocking her legs, and heard the girl outside come in at night to report: "Old lady, the second lady is here." ”

"Huh? What did she come to do? The old lady on the couch opened her eyes.

"I don't know, but I look like I've brought something." Night Dew replied.

"Let her in, we'll see." The rumors outside have reached her, and she naturally sees who is who is not, but there are people in this mansion who arrange the concubines of the Shu family like this, and she still asked people to check it out, and this matter is also clear at a glance, but since people are here, they must always see it, and it is easy to knock and knock.

After a while, Shu Fangyin came in with the scriptures: "I've seen my grandmother." ”

"Coming?" The old lady took Mama Qian's hand and sat up straight from the couch: "Second girl, what's the matter?" ”

"Grandmother, I heard that my grandmother has been studying the Buddhist scriptures recently, and my granddaughter has copied the Buddhist scriptures by hand, which was sent to my grandmother just after copying, and this amulet, which was also begged by my granddaughter from Guoguang Temple, I just hope that my grandmother is healthy."

"The second girl has a heart." The old lady said: "Actually, don't bother, I know that my body is still strong, as long as you are united and harmonious, I will be happy." ”

Shu Fangyin was shocked, was this beating herself in secret?

"You are all the children of my Shu family, even if you marry out in the future, you have to rely on the strength of your mother's family to gain a foothold in your husband's family, I have great hopes for any of you, I don't want to see any of you become an isolated finch because of your separation from the Shu family in the future, do you understand?"

Shu Fangyin was so frightened that she immediately knelt down: "The old lady atones for her sins, and the granddaughter knows that she is wrong." ”

"I also know that this is not your fault, the people below have broken mouths, and they will be disciplined well in the future, okay, my body is very tired now, and you have just come back from outside the city, you must be tired, so go back early." The old lady waved her hand, Shu Fangyin had a ghost in her heart, so she naturally didn't dare to say much, so she bowed to the old lady and withdrew.

"Hey, I don't know if it's useful." The old lady sighed.

"I see that the second lady is a clever person, and I will definitely understand the old lady's hard work." Mama Qian continued to knock on the old lady's legs unhurriedly.

"Hopefully." The old lady held this matter high and put it down gently, firstly to give Shu Fangyin a warning, and secondly, to give her a chance, hoping that she would understand.
