Chapter 8: Relatives to Relatives, the Number to be Distinct
Shen Yunzhu thought about it, it seemed that it was Concubine Su's younger brother, a famous Confucian in the dynasty.
The younger brother of the original owner had already been raised by the Li family, probably because Su Daru looked down on him, so he found the Jingwang Mansion.
She euphemistically excused herself: "My mother also knows that I married to serve as a faΓ§ade, how dare I ask the prince." β
Li Shi smiled coldly, "Don't think I don't know, King Jing cut off his brother's hands for you, this little favor, King Jing will definitely help you do it." Yunzhu, you are the Shen family, this is what you should do! β
Shen Yunzhu said directly: "First, it was Gu Xiyan who made a mistake and apologized for his crimes, which has nothing to do with me. Second, you sold me to King Jing's Mansion at a clear price, and I am not considered a member of the Shen family. β
Li was stunned, looked at Shen Yunzhu again, and found that her eyes were not only clear and bright, but her temples were also ruddy and creamy, and she no longer had the dry appearance of the past, and the whole person became conspicuous, and her delicate facial features could be regarded as the national color and fragrance.
There were still people outside, so the Li family had to hold back their anger, "Yunzhu, your surname is Shen, why can't you be considered a member of the Shen family?" You helped me today, and if you are wronged in King Jing's Mansion in the future, the Shen family will also help you. β
Shen Yunzhu's eyes rolled: "That's okay, how much dowry will the second sister have in the future, and how much dowry I will want, if you make up for it, I will recognize myself as the Shen family." β
Li herself wears gold and silver, but she can't bear to be asked for money by others.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Your grandfather's family committed a big crime, if it weren't for your father's involvement, you would have been sent to the Sect Division, and your cousin would have to be beheaded!" The Shen family provides you with food and clothing, and you don't know how to repay your kindness, so you dare to ask for a dowry?! β
Shen Yunzhu's memories were surging.
Her mother's surname is Mu, and the Mu family has been loyal and brave for generations and is stationed in the north.
But five years ago, the enemy country invaded, and her maternal ancestor led an army of 80,000 to resist the enemy, but was defeated at Yanxue Pass due to a mistake in the military situation.
The three northern states fell into the hands of the enemy, except for a young son, and all of Mu Jiaerlang died on the battlefield.
The territory was seized, the people were displaced, and the young emperor and the queen mother were furious and wanted to cut down the surviving Mu family golang.
The exploits of the Mu family in guarding the territory for generations were completely ignored.
Shen Yunzhu laughed sarcastically and retorted: "It's ridiculous, it's my mother, who entered the palace with the Danshu iron coupon to see the Queen Mother, committed suicide in front of the palace, and saved my cousin with one life for another." It was also my mother who handed over the dowry worth 200,000 taels to Shen Yan and asked him to treat me well, but he never let me eat a full meal, and now he has sold me, what kind of kindness can I be grateful for? β
She is not the original Shen Yunzhu, and the Shen family is not her relatives.
"Disobedience and unfilial piety!" Li was very angry, and reached out and pinched Shen Yunzhu.
She understood that after Shen Yunzhu got married, her wings became stiff, and she dared to disobey her.
Shen Yunzhu hadn't recovered yet, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he couldn't dodge.
There was a burst of pain in his arm, but Li didn't let go of his right hand, and slapped a few times with his left hand like before, so that Shen Yunzhu could learn a lesson.
Before the slap fell, someone shouted from behind: "Mrs. Shen, do you think this is the Shen family, you can do it at will?" β
Li Shi was stunned, and when he saw Gu Beirin striding into the main hall, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Although he is a broken sleeve, he is today's cousin, and his maternal grandfather's family is a Jiangnan family.
Gu Beirin was wearing an indigo brocade robe, embroidered with dark lines, meticulous needlework, and a silver crown and jade belt.
He has an extremely good-looking face, which can almost be described as glamorous, but there is a faint evil aura under his eyes, which slightly suppresses this beauty.
"The prince is back!" Li Shi changed his face, "I didn't do anything, I saw that Yunzhu's hair bun was messy, and I wanted to help her brush it." β
"I see." Gu Beirin sat down at the head of the front seat and instructed the maidservant, "Make three cups of good Longjing, and set the cup of the kiln." β
When Li heard this, he was even more proud.
She is the first wife, and even the royal relatives are in a hurry.
"Lord Wang, I came today, in fact, I have a reluctant invitation." Lee took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Mrs. Shen, please speak."
After Li sat down, he continued: "The dog has admired Su Daru for a long time and wants to worship under Su Daru. The prince shouted to Su Daru Uncle, if you open your mouth, this matter will definitely be done. β
Gu Beirin smiled, his eyes were deep: "Then Mrs. Shen is really looking for the right person, this matter is easy to say." β
Is this going to be promised?
Shen Yunzhu didn't want to let the Li family be happy, and frowned: "Lord Wang! β
Gu Beirin glanced at her: "Sit on the side." β
Shen Yunzhu pursed his lips and had to sit aside.
The Li family was already smiling, seeing that Gu Beirin didn't pay much attention to Shen Yunzhu, he could agree, he must want to have a good relationship with the Shen family.
"Thank you, Lord Wang, I will bring Yan'er to thank you another day."
"It's a trivial matter whether you say thank you or not, what matters is how much money Mrs. Shen plans to give to let this king open this mouth." Gu Beirin raised his eyebrows and asked with his eyes.
Li's smile froze on his face: "Our two families are in-laws, from now on, either you help me, or I help you, the prince is too vulgar to talk about this." β
"At the beginning, we said that we were hired, but we were actually buying, and we are considered in-laws?" Gu Beirin's face turned cold.
Shen Yunzhu was a little surprised.
In terms of mouth poison, Gu Beirin is the only one.
The Li family was really angry: "What kind of buyer, she is the eighth person of my Shen family to carry a sedan chair to marry you Jingwang Mansion!" The prince married the daughter of my Shen family, but he didn't recognize our in-laws, and sued the queen mother, and the prince was afraid that he would be scolded. β
If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come.
Her son will be a marquis in the future, and he must worship under the Great Confucianism.
At this time, the maid served tea, and the cup used was really a cup from the kiln, the color was clean, and the enamel was dense and smooth.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, he hurriedly retreated.
Gu Beirin took a sip and said slowly: "Then it's barely an in-law, this king has always received 30,000 taels, for the sake of this, ......"
"Lord Wang, relatives belong to relatives, the number must be clear!" Shen Yunzhu immediately opened his mouth to stop it, "If you want to collect less, you will look down on my mother and feel that she can't afford to pay." β
Gu Beirin looked at her, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "What I said is, then 30,000 taels, and one tael of silver can't be less." β
Li's face is already difficult to see the extreme,
She could have negotiated the price, but as soon as Shen Yunzhu spoke, she cut off her back road.
"Cheap hooves!" Li was so angry that he picked up the tea cup in his hand and smashed it at Shen Yunzhu.
Shen Yunzhu hurriedly got up and dodged.
The cup smashed on the chair, and it suddenly fell apart, and the shards and tea were scattered on the ground.
The servants outside the hall were startled and stretched out their heads to look.
"Madame!" Mother Liu, who was behind Mrs. Shen, was also shocked, and hurriedly made amends for the Li family, "Lord Wang, my wife is in a hurry, please forgive me." β
This is King Jing's Mansion, not Shen's Mansion, why can't the Li family bear his temper?
Gu Beirin's face sank: "If you want this king to forgive me, then you can lose money!" β
