Chapter 19 The Wave of Recruitment
"You!" His face was full of displeasure, and he was about to pull out the sword at his waist in his hand, but his hand was held down by the person next to him.
Steward Shen glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Underworld guard, don't be impulsive. Talk to them, I'm here. ”
Seeing this, he took his sword and stood behind him.
Steward Shen stepped forward, looked at Shi Shenshu in front of him with a smile on his face, and said, "You are a housekeeper, and I am also a housekeeper. ”
He looked at him silently, not speaking.
"Giving a dowry is a good thing, but it's a bit inappropriate to make it tense." With his hands clasped in front of him, his wide sleeves covering his handshakes, he didn't look like a housekeeper with his demeanor, he was obviously a full wise man: "You are called Shi Shenshu, both civil and military, I know, so I call you as a steward." ”
After a pause, he glanced back at the dowry behind him, withdrew his eyes and looked at his face, and said: "This dowry was carefully selected by me and the underworld guards according to the instructions of the prince, and it is of course the most suitable for the steward to personally take it into the mansion." ”
He took the red dowry book from the hands of the people behind him and presented it in front of him: "But this dowry book has the signature of the prince, but it cannot be handed over to the steward. After a pause, the words in his mouth were loud, and a sense of oppression suddenly appeared around him, staring at him, and said word by word: "And the military master needs to take it personally." ”
Shi Shenshu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he attached his ear to the iris ear and said, "You go and inform the military advisor of the current situation, and see how the military advisor decides." ”
"Good!"
The iris went quickly and came back very quickly. She handed him what Asa-san had given her, and said something else in his ear.
By this time, he already knew what to do.
He placed the hairpin in his hand at the same height as the dowry book, and said in a condensed voice: "This hairpin is the favorite thing of my military advisor, since King Yan sent a dowry and personally signed it on the dowry book, then my military advisor is naturally not a person without sincerity." ”
Steward Shen stared at the hairpin in his hand and frowned slightly.
Ying Jin couldn't bear it, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by him.
Just listen to him: "In that case, let's exchange." ”
"Steward Shen!" Stygian Jin shouted in displeasure.
He glanced sideways slightly, and said to him: "Underworld guard, it is most appropriate to do this right now." When I return home, I will go with you to explain to the prince. ”
It wasn't that he was worried about being scolded by the prince, but he felt that he had lost the prestige of the Yan Palace. The prince ordered him and Steward Shen to send the dowry gift, saying that Qiansang should also go out to greet her, but she refused to go out, and sent so many of them away with a steward and a maidservant, and she really didn't take Yanwangfu in her eyes.
She is so arrogant before she gets married, if she does, she doesn't know what arrogance will become!
"Whatever you want!" Feeling discouraged, he turned and descended the stone steps, headed for his horse, and then turned on his horse, ignoring everything.
Steward Shen withdrew his eyes and looked at Shi Shenshu in front of him, and said with a calm face: "The dowry book is here, and the steward Shi gave me the hairpin." ”
He handed over the hairpin very neatly, and seeing this, he also handed him the dowry book in his hand.
Almost at the same time, Shi Shenshu got the dowry book, and Steward Shen got the jade hibiscus hairpin.
Seeing Steward Shen and his party leave, Shi Shenshu immediately ordered the people in the house to carry all the dowry gifts to the living room of the house, and asked Iris to go to the garden to call Qiansang.
A moment later, in the living room, Assan-sang sat on a high seat, and in addition to Shi Shenshu and Iris, there were also twenty subordinates in the hall.
Glancing at Shi Shenshu, she said, "Are all the people in the house here?" ”
He took a step forward, nodded, and said, "Yes, in addition to me and Iris, there are also twenty subordinates in the mansion, and they are now there." ”
"Okay." She understood, and then said, "Present the dowry book." ”
He did what she said.
Holding the dowry book in his hand, he flipped through a few pages at random, and when he turned to the end, he really saw the name of Emperor Yan, and there was a seal next to the name, and there were three big characters on the seal - Emperor Yan Feng.
Wrote the name and printed the name, but the person didn't come, but he put a lot of effort into this, did he use this to reflect his sincerity? Hmph, the marriage between the two is just a transaction, and he doesn't have to be so troublesome.
He closed the dowry book casually, pinched up a corner and raised it high, and his eyes passed over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one, and said: "This is the dowry book sent by Emperor Yan, I think you will be very curious and confused, why did the dignified prince send the dowry to my house." He pressed the things in his hand on the several cases in front of him, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said, "Because your master, I, am going to marry Emperor Yan." ”
"What?" Even if I had guessed that it might be such an iris before, I was still surprised when I heard Asa-san say it himself.
Except for Shi Shenshu, the rest of the people were in a commotion, you look at me, I look at you, and they turned their heads and ears.
The calm Shi Shenshu stood in the lively crowd like an outlier.
Iris approached him very puzzled, and said, "You are so calm, don't you already know it?" ”
He shook his head with her: "That's what I just knew." ”
"Then why are you so calm, not half surprised, if you hadn't told me that you just knew, I would have thought you would have known it a long time ago!"
His face was not very good, and his mood was not very good, and after a while, he said slowly: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess." The people of King Yan's Mansion came to give a dowry gift, and the dowry book has Emperor Yan's personal signature, do you think that the entire Military Division's Mansion, except for the military division, who else can afford such a big gift from King Yan! ”
He glanced up at Qiansang, who was sitting on a high seat, and said with his eyebrows furrowed: "Fang Cai is just suspicious, but now it is certain." ”
Seeing his gloomy expression, she asked again: "Are you so unhappy that the military advisor married King Yan?" ”
He frowned and said, "You don't understand. ”
"I ......"
"Quiet!" Assa-san looked at everyone.
As soon as she gave the order, the living room fell silent.
"I know you're surprised and have a lot of questions, but as a subordinate, you don't need to know that much." His face was calm and dignified, and he said: "I have gathered you here now to tell you that except for Shi Shenshu and Iris, if the rest of the subordinates plan to leave after I get married, I will let the steward settle your wages and let you go." If you plan to stay and guard this house after I get married, go to the steward and report your name, and you will continue to receive your salary as usual in the future. ”
Her words fell, and silence returned to the living room.
"Strategist!" The abruptness of this thick voice attracted everyone's attention, and at a glance, it was realized that the person who spoke was the chef in the kitchen of this mansion, he raised his hands high, craned his neck and said loudly: "Military advisor! I think, even if you get married, this military division mansion is still your home, I am the cook in this mansion, and the military division loves to eat the glutinous rice dumplings I make, I won't leave! I'll stay! ”
