Chapter Twenty-Four: So Much Silver
"Really? Even if the second miss of the Shen family is not disfigured, that face is probably not much better, are you really willing to marry a shameless girl? This is a matter of royal face. ”
King Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The royal face has never expected Erchen to earn it, and besides, Niangniang has never expected Princess Yan before, and it is the same for Erchen to marry anyone." ”
Jiang Guifei sensitively found that King Yan's self-proclaimed name had changed, this child was stubborn, and rarely called himself a retainer in front of her, and the only few times were a symbol of his softness.
Although the expression on Jiang Guifei's face has not changed, there is already a smile in her heart, it seems that the second miss of the Shen family has an unusual status in his heart.
Jiang Guifei deliberately twisted her eyebrows and thought deeply, kept a calm face, and didn't say a word.
King Yan stood aside and kept paying attention to Jiang Guifei's face, and his face slowly changed from indifference at the beginning to anxious.
Jiang Guifei coughed, "If this palace tells you that the second young lady of the Shen family is happy with Jing Yonghou, then you are also willing to marry her as a concubine?"
Jiang Guifei's words seemed to stab King Yan in the heart, making his originally somewhat hot mind calm down instantly. But if he said no, he still couldn't speak.
His actions and actions towards himself today will never be false.
She used to fall in love with Marquis Jing Yong, but she didn't know people clearly! He gave her a chance to change her ways! If she dared to lie to him, when she entered the palace, he would definitely make her look good!
Children's momentary likes can't be taken seriously, and as experience increases, everyone will understand what they want.
Jiang Guifei had already understood King Yan's intentions, at least he was satisfied with Miss Shen Er now, even if there was something bad on Miss Shen Er's face, couldn't a royal doctor with so many medical skills still be cured? Even if it couldn't be completely cured, it would be nothing to the point where it didn't seriously damage her appearance.
In the previous dynasty, there was a disfigured princess, but the prince did not marry another in his life, and a son and a daughter born to the princess were also successful, and finally the princess passed away, and was posthumously named the lady of the protector, so sometimes a woman's appearance is not so important.
"Okay, okay, this palace knows your mind, then it will be decided that Miss Shen's second lady, the eldest son and eldest daughter in Lord Shen's family are not married, this marriage agreement has been made, but now it is not good to publicize it to the outside world, and when the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Shen family is decided, this palace will ask your father to give you a decree to give you marriage. ”
King Yan didn't say thank you, but only respectfully bowed to Concubine Jiang Guifei.
"It's not too early, don't leave the palace, go back to your bedroom, those things in your palace are there!"
King Yan bowed his head and soon left Jiang Guifei's palace.
When the prince becomes an adult, he will move out of the palace and reward another mansion in the capital, but as long as he is not married, he is not a real adult, and the palace where the prince originally lived in the palace will remain, so King Yan has a place to live even if he rests in the palace.
After King Yan left, Concubine Jiang's personal female official entered the inner hall, and what Concubine Fang and King Yan said inside, she heard outside.
She asked her master in a low voice, "Niangniang, has the prince decided on Miss Shen Er?"
Jiang Guifei nodded, "It's also a dead-eyed child, if you think about it, you don't know his temper, it's not that you don't know, it's very stubborn, Miss Shen Er doesn't know what the result will be if there is a place for him to worry about in the future, and I don't know if it's good or bad for Miss Shen Er." ”
The female official nodded with palpitations, she had learned about King Yan's temper.
"Then ...... the Shen family?"
"Let's do what we discussed before, after all, they gave up a daughter in the family, no matter which one it is, we have to give what we should give, you go and secretly send someone to check on Miss Shen Er, if this girl is not having a good time in the Shen family, I will give her more subsidies." ”
"Yes, sis. ”
It was not until this time that the marriage between Shen Qiange and King Yan was really set secretly.
In the palace of King Yan's bedroom, he walked back and forth in the palace a few times, and Rong Shun, the personal supervisor, was dazzled by the master's walk, and then he heard the master's order.
"You go to find the female official Su next to the concubine Niangniang, and give her five thousand taels of silver tickets, and the female official Su knows what to do. ”
Rong Shun didn't know why the master suddenly wanted to give the Su female official silver, but it had been a month since the birth of this noble concubine, but the master commanded, he couldn't disobey.
"Yes, Your Highness, the slave will go and come back. ”
Today in the upper study, I saw that Shen Er was wearing an average dress, and it was estimated that he was not having a good time in the Shen Mansion, so he added some silver to her in private, with these, Shen Er would not still wear so shabby, and lose the face of his Yan Wangfu!
After doing this, a satisfied smile flashed on Yan Wang's face, and he went to rest with peace of mind.
Soon, Mrs. Shen of the Shen Mansion received a reply from Concubine Jiang Guifei, and along with the reply, she was sent to the mansion with two large boxes of pear blossoms.
At this time, it happened that Lord Shen also returned to the backyard from the study in the front yard, and when he saw the big red lacquer wooden box in front of Mrs. Shen, he laughed, "Where did such a big box come from?"
After speaking, he circled around the wooden box twice, and when he saw the internal sign next to the wooden box, his face became excited, "Sent from the palace?"
Mrs. Shen smiled and bowed, there were no outsiders in the flower hall, Mrs. Shen bowed to Lord Shen and blessed her, "Congratulations to your husband on his ascension." ”
Lord Shen has been in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, it is not that he has not been active everywhere, but there is little hope, and when he reaches his official rank, it is difficult to further climb to the sky.
From the second grade to the second grade, don't look at it as a small half step, but it seems to climb the highest peak, and you will fall to the bottom of the cliff if you are not careful.
Now that the peak is imminent, how can Lord Shen not be excited.
Lord Shen hurriedly walked to Mrs. Shen's side in two steps and helped her up with his own hands, "Without Madame's help, how can I have this opportunity!"
So the husband and wife happily prepared to open the wooden box sent from the palace together.
When the wooden box was opened and she saw the contents of the wooden box, Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up.
fine tribute satin, ornaments, jewelry, clothing, jewelry, gold...... Almost dazzling.
Open a small sandalwood box next to it, there is a thick stack of silver tickets inside, I think about it quite thoughtfully, there are both large and small denominations, and they are all new silver tickets just redeemed in the royal bank!
Roughly overcounted, there are as many as 8,000 taels! Together with these two boxes of things, I am afraid that there are 20,000 taels!
Old man Shen passed away early, Mrs. Shen raised her children, raised her son and daughter, spent a lot, she herself is not very good at business, to Lord Shen grew up in the scientific examination, her dowry was not much, and when her son was lifted, Mrs. Shen thought twice about hiring Mrs. Shen, the daughter of a five-grade civil official, for her son.
Although Mrs. Shen is from a family of poetry and books, the family environment is not rich, there are dozens of people in the family of four generations, but one or two people are officials in the court, and they are all petty officials, in order to protect the family style, Mrs. Shen's family has never been in business, and Mrs. Shen's life in her mother's house is poor, and it is only after marrying into the Shen family that the life is getting better.
Later, Aunt Shen had an accident, and Mrs. Shen took Aunt Shen to live in Ningshoutang, and Mrs. Shen took charge of the family and ran the business of the public middle school. She didn't have any dowry, and the remaining property in the Shen family was accumulated by the old lady.
Mrs. Shen does not have any special business acumen, she has no merit for more than ten years, she has few masters in the family, and the old lady and Aunt Shen don't need her to care, Lord Shen can be described as a Qingshui Yamen in the Ministry of Rites, but the worship is not bad, plus the income from the Zhuangzi in the house, so the life of the family is also relaxed. Although it is not as good as the emperor's relatives and noble families, the life is not worse than that of the ministers of the Qing school.
That's it, Mrs. Shen has never seen so much silver!
