The wedding of the prince of Anjun, the dowry has made the people of the capital talk about it for a long time, but Shen Yanrou's dowry is not inferior.

Second Mrs. Shen's maiden family also has a foundation, and the dowry for her marriage into the Shen Mansion is also very large, not to mention the jewelry, silver, etc., even shops, Zhuangzi, fields, and so on. Besides, she has been the master of the house in the Shen Mansion for a long time, and she has accumulated a lot of money.

Now that she is preparing a dowry for her baby daughter, Second Mrs. Shen is naturally willing.

In addition, the Shen Mansion itself prepared the same share for each girl, as well as the fact that Old Madam Shen took out her own self-help......

Shen Yanrou's marriage is really ten miles of red makeup, and she envy others.

Shen Yanjiao looked at it and couldn't help but be touched in her heart:

The marriage of the elder sister in the previous life was miserable, and the whole family had no smile on their faces, and the family of the gentleman did not have any rules and regulations, not to mention the dowry, and even the number of etiquette was not thoughtful enough.

Look at the moment, although the woman is reluctant to marry her family, but from the old lady Shen to the maids and servants in the house, which one is not jubilant?

The house just rewarded money, but I don't know how much it was distributed.

"Girl, let's take a break,"

When Shen Yanrou's marriage was over, the house calmed down again, and Qiu Yu said with a smile, "Otherwise, next year, I'm afraid that the girl will be busy again." ”

Not surprisingly, the girl of her family is about to marry the Nie family. As soon as the marriage date is over, the date of the marriage is also agreed.

Besides, after the New Year, Shen Yansong, the eldest young master of the Shen Mansion, is also getting married. In the past two years, happy events in the house have been one after another.

Shen Yanjiao squinted at the sunlight in the window, and her mind was slightly in a trance: In this life, I don't know if I can ask for a good match, and the person she marries doesn't know if she is a good person or not.

Now I see that Nie Xiao is honest to her, but back then......

When she married Gu Nanzhang by calculation, she remembered the wedding night, and she could see a little joy on his face, but it didn't take long for that person to never see a smiling face in front of her.

Or, even refusing to say a word, it was colder than the frost and snow of a cold night.

As soon as she thought of this, Shen Yanjiao suddenly thought that it had been a long time since that cold-hearted man had blocked her. If she hadn't thought about it by chance today, she would have even felt that he was far away in another world.

In this life, it is estimated that there is no intersection with this person.

The end of the year is the busiest, and the Shen Mansion is busy and lively for the New Year. After this year, there is no one who is not tired of doing things in the house.

But after the third day of the new year, the New Year is a time for recreation.

The Daning Dynasty, like the previous two dynasties, attached great importance to the Lantern Festival. Therefore, the liveliness of the Lantern Festival will exceed that of the Spring Festival.

Especially on the night of the Lantern Festival, several places in the entire capital are specially designated by the official family to enjoy the lanterns.

When it comes to lantern appreciation, it is fireworks, lantern riddles, poetry clubs, and even juggling and rapping, as well as puppet shows and shadow puppet shows...... It's very lively.

Not to mention all kinds of peddlers and pawns, carrying burdens through the streets and alleys, setting up stalls on the ground, eating and playing...... All of this, there are so many things.

And Daning rules, the Lantern Festival is different from other days, whether it is a boudoir or not, you can enjoy playing on this day.

Although there are many rules in the Shen Mansion, this kind of festival will not prevent the girl's family from coming out to enjoy the lanterns, but it is just that the people who follow them are more dedicated.

Shen Yanliu was looking forward to the Lantern Festival early, and Shen Yanjiao was hooked by his interest, and she was also a little looking forward to it, and she told the girls to get ready early.

"There are autumn fruits, and the little ones are gone,"

Qiu Yu smiled, "But don't say it, this girl Qiuguo eats a lot." ”

The first time I saw Qiuguo eating, I almost shocked them. Having said that, Qiuguo's rice was not eaten for nothing, and that strength was also staggering.

That being said, when the girls in the house go out, they have to follow a few more little guys.

"The girl's half,"

Qiu Yu took out a mask with a half face and handed it to Shen Yanjiao, "The new one I bought this time was designated by the girl, and I want a tiger head-"

Shen Yanjiao took it and tried to wear it, and Qiuyue couldn't help but purse her lips.

This half of the noodles is also called "half of the blessings" by the people in the capital, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is for the girls in the family who pay attention to others.

Although they went out to enjoy the lanterns, some of the women of those noble families were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so they chose to wear this half-face cover.

Later, the girls from ordinary people's families saw it and followed suit, so most of the girls who played on the night of the Lantern Festival wore various colored half faces. And some of the half of the noodles are delicate and rich, and they look even more beautiful and chic when they are worn.

In previous years, the girls chose some flower-like beautiful half faces, who knew that this year's girls must have a tiger head, their girls have a graceful posture, wearing such a mighty and domineering tiger head half face, look at it is really ...... It's kind of funny.

The house has already prepared carriages and horses, and it is a common practice every year, and everything is very proper.

Shen Yanqiao followed her mother, Mrs. Shen San, and Shen Yanwan squeezed into Shen Yanjiao and Shen Yanliu's car, talking and laughing along the way.

After arriving at the place, when Shen Yanjiao and the others got out of the car, Shen Yansong also threw the horsewhip in his hand to the little girl and walked over.

"Why do you wear this?"

Seeing Shen Yanjiao's tiger head, Shen Yansong couldn't help laughing, "I've arranged for someone to follow, let's take a walk here." ”

As he was talking, Shen Yanbai and Shen Yanzhang also dismounted and walked over.

"The eldest brother and the second brother have friends to greet each other tonight,"

Shen Yanzhang said with a smile, "Sisters, just play, I'll follow tonight to keep you happy." ”

Shen Yanzhang has a large skeleton and a heroic appearance, and he is the strongest of the four brothers, but he is not very good at reading, and he likes to play with some children of the Beijing patrol camp the most, and he is good at riding and archery.

The Shen brothers take turns to find someone to play with the sisters every year, also for the safety of the girls in the house. If there is any emergency, you can also order the little guy to respond in time.

"I'm here too!"

Before Shen Yanzhang's words fell, a happy voice came from the side, "The second sister of the Shen family, the third sister, I know which lantern is the best." ”

Shen Yanjiao turned her face and met Nie Xiao's eagerly expectant eyes.

I haven't seen it for a long time, Nie Xiao is a little darker than before, but he looks more powerful.

Shen Yanzhang obviously had a very good impression of Nie Xiao, and immediately greeted excitedly: "Together, Brother Nie, together!" ”

Shen Yanjiao faced the eagerness of Nie Xiao's good eyes, so she had to smile back. Nie Xiao's eyes lit up in an instant.

"Brother Gu?"

Shen Yansong suddenly waved over there at this time, "I didn't see you before, and I made an appointment with a friend to drink together, so you came along?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Yanjiao, who hadn't gone there yet, paused slightly, and inexplicably felt a cool gaze on her body.

She looked back suspiciously, but saw Gu Nanzhang talking to Shen Yansong and didn't look this way.

Shen Yanjiao retracted her thoughts, took Shen Yanliu, and slowly walked around and played with everyone.

Gu Nanzhang's gaze only swept over there, and he saw Nie Xiao who was following Shen Yanjiao in the same direction, and couldn't help but squint, and put away the grabbing meaning that was almost overflowing from the bottom of his eyes-

Want to marry someone else?

Scold.

"I've got something else to do tonight,"

He politely declined Shen Yansong's invitation, and said with a smile, "I happened to be passing by here—I'll look for you for a drink after tonight." ”

After saying that, he saluted Shen Yansong and turned over on his horse, and quickly disappeared into the corner of the street.

He's really something.

On the night of the Lantern Festival in the previous life, the eldest princess's only little grandson was taken away by someone in a drug stun when he was shopping for lanterns, which directly became the first surprise in the capital on the second day. Later, the child was torn up by the bandits who were chased by the government, and it was another big tragedy.

He will save the child tonight.

Then, by saving the child, he killed two birds with one stone: one, asking for marriage, and second, avoiding the Shanglin banquet the day after tomorrow under the pretext of being injured.

Gu Nanzhang rode to the famous Chunzhifang Street in Beijing, which is also one of the official lantern viewing places for the Lantern Festival in Beijing every year, and the street where the Shen family visited before was almost the same as the liveliness. It is also convenient for people to enjoy nearby.

With a target that is easy to search, Gu Nanzhang quickly locked on the people in the eldest princess's mansion.

This time, in fact, there were not many people following the eldest princess's mansion, but the person who lost the child this time was not an ordinary kidnapper, but a group of bandits with internal responses.

The eldest princess's son, King Yanjun, lost money because of gambling before, and led people to sweep a gambling house in the capital, and was held by the hall master behind the gambling house with a grudge, colluded with an old slave in the eldest princess's mansion, and calculated to kidnap people.

This gang of bandits originally thought that King Yanjun was not very successful, and they didn't pay much attention to it when they wanted to come to the official family, so they extorted some money to teach King Yanjun a lesson.

Who knows that the eldest princess is not an ordinary weight in today's heart, the eldest princess cried, and when the son was furious today, under the thunder, the chickens and dogs of the government were jumping.

The gang of bandits panicked and simply tore up the ticket when they fled.

It's just that as soon as Gu Nanzhang walked into the Lantern Festival here, he was surrounded by many young women, pretending to pass by him from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, with silent affection in his eyes.

Before he had taken a few steps, some silk flowers were thrown from nowhere, and even some colored fruits were thrown into his arms.

Gu Nanzhang: "......"

The little guy behind him covered his mouth and was happy, and it was no wonder that his young master had never liked this kind of festival.

Gu Nanzhang took a half of the noodles from the little merchant next to him with a cold face, and the little guy hurriedly paid the money, and looked at his young master very speechlessly, just like the girl's family, and brought a half noodles.

Fortunately, this half is a tiger head.

After Gu Nanzhang locked on the target, he kept following unhurriedly, there were a lot of people, and as the night became thicker and thicker, there were more and more people.

In this way, he will follow, but it will not attract attention.

Unconsciously, almost an hour later, Gu Nanzhang noticed the servant who was carrying the child on his shoulder to enjoy the lantern, and suddenly turned his face and said something to another stout little guy, and then the stout little guy walked to the side of the stall, so the servant carrying the child was left here.

Gu Nanzhang immediately deceived himself and followed.

As he passed, the child had been taken from the man's shoulder, and had fallen asleep on the servant's shoulder, without knowing what medicine had been used.

In a dazzling eye, the man had already taken advantage of the lack of attention and handed the child to a man in black.

The man in black rushed out of the crowd with the child in his arms.

Gu Nanzhang waved his hand at his little girl, and the little girl was also anxious when he saw this, and immediately shouted, "Grab the child-snatch the child-"

"Stop."

Gu Nanzhang also jumped up a few times, and shouted softly in front of this person.

The man in black was obviously taken aback, and he probably didn't expect that he would be discovered so quickly when he came out of the crowd to a place with few people.

But seeing that Gu Nanzhang was dressed as a scholar, he didn't panic, and after whistling, three or four more people rushed over to this side.

"Acquaintance—ah!"

The man in black never expected that such a seemingly thin scholar would be quick and ruthless, and most importantly, he still had ...... in his hand Knife!

The man in black only felt a chill on his thighs, and then before he finished speaking, there was a sharp pain, and when he looked down, he saw the sharp blade in Gu Nanzhang's hand.

"Whew-"

The man in black screamed in pain that the child in his hand couldn't hold it anymore, and after being snatched away by Gu Nanzhang, he immediately pulled out the knife on his thigh and stabbed him in the abdomen.

The man in black didn't have time to react, he covered his abdomen and glared at Gu Nanzhang and fell to the ground with a puff.

When the man in black rushed over, he saw that the companion had fallen to the ground, and he was about to make a move, but he saw that people around him began to surround him......

Thinking of a quick decision, these three or four people immediately made a move with Gu Nanzhang.

didn't expect that this scholar was holding a child and could have a few rounds with them, and at this time, Gu Nanzhang's little guy also rushed over with a wooden stick.

Unable to gain the upper hand for a while, and there was no telling if there were any people patrolling the camp in Beijing among the people who surrounded them, those bandits saw that the situation was not good, and immediately wanted to flee.

Gu Nanzhang only pretended to chase a few steps, calculating the timing, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he slashed the knife on his waist with his backhand, and blood suddenly gushed out.

Gu Nanzhang's body shook a few times, and he pretended to collapse while holding the child.

"Ahh

The little guy was anxious, "My young master was injured in order to save this child."

"Child, where is the child—"

At this time, the people from the eldest princess's mansion had already rushed over, and they were so frightened that they were going to die when they saw this, and while they went to hold the child, these people went to help Gu Nanzhang with all hands and feet.

"Quick, send it back to this courtyard,"

A servant in the eldest princess's mansion hurriedly ordered, "There is Lang Zhong in the other courtyard, hurry, hurry-"

Their eldest princess's mansion has a separate courtyard on the side of this street, and because it is close to the place where the lanterns are admired, they often spend time in this courtyard on the night of the Lantern Festival, all for convenience.

So, several people took the child and Gu Nanzhang back to the other courtyard, and arranged for someone to guard the corpse on the ground and ask someone to sue the official.

After arriving at the eldest princess's courtyard, the eldest princess, who was playing the finch card with the family members of the house, was suddenly surprised.

When he lost the card, he panicked and looked at his grandson first, and then called Lang Zhong again, and then asked Gu Nanzhang about his injury.

Seeing that it was the son of the British Mansion, the eldest princess hurriedly thanked and thanked, not daring to be careless, and asked Lang Zhong to bandage the wound carefully.

Fortunately, after Jinglang's diagnosis, the child was only drugged, and after sleeping for two hours, he was fine after taking some antidote medicine.

Gu Nanzhang's wound was a little deep, and the blood stained the clothes around his waist, so frightened that the little girl's face turned white.

"I ......"

Gu Nanzhang smiled at the eldest princess and said, "It's okay...... I-"

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

Lang Zhong was also taken aback: "It should be excessive blood loss." ”

However, after the diagnosis, I felt that the pulse seemed to be fine...... Lang Zhong was so entangled that he frowned.

After applying medicine and bandaging Gu Nanzhang, Lang Zhong frowned for a while, and then prescribed some blood-tonifying medicine for decoction.

When the eldest princess saw that her grandson was fine, she was grateful, and she didn't leave for a while, but stayed here, listening to Gu Nanzhang's little servant and her own slaves explain back one by one.

Shen ...... Shen ......"

At this moment, Gu Nanzhang, who was unconscious on the couch, suddenly said something vaguely.

The eldest princess hurriedly came over to listen.

Shen ...... Three...... Girl......"

Gu Nanzhang called in a daze.

The eldest princess was puzzled at first, then thought of something, and couldn't help but laugh again: It turns out, that's it. This little son of the Gu family has someone in his heart, and he is still the third girl of the Shen family.

I'm afraid that I made an appointment with someone to enjoy the lanterns tonight, but I didn't expect this to happen halfway.

saved her little grandson, but lost the appointment of a beautiful woman.

How did she go?

Besides, she loves to be a matchmaker the most, and if she uses this matter to reveal a letter to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will definitely be willing to give him a rare favor.
