Chapter 75: Choosing a hairpin

Jiang Shi, the princess of Zhaojun, is the second lady of the Marquis of Anding, and the sister and aunt of Qi Yunge's mother Jiang Wu.

The general's mansion in the north of Zhenbei overturned overnight, which caught many people off guard, and Jiang Wan's maiden family, the Marquis of Anding's mansion, was no better, and the emperor in order to prevent the Marquis of Anding from supporting Qi Yi, set up the Marquis of Anding and the prince of Andinghou, and the real power in his hands was withdrawn.

Since the collapse of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Jiang Wu was imprisoned, Andinghou watched his daughter suffer but could not do anything, and finally came the news of Jiang's death, the family was extremely cold, Andinghou's Mansion moved out of Chang'an, and invited himself to Yuzhou to take up an idle position.

And the only person in the Jiang family who is still in Chang'an, in addition to the current Queen Mother, is only Princess Zhaojun.

Although Shen Yanshu misses her relatives very much, she can't visit rashly because of her identity.

There is also the Queen Mother, with Shen Yanshu's family members who have no relatives and no reason and are only a third-grade official, they are naturally unapproachable.

The emperor is not the queen mother's own son, so he doesn't have much nostalgia for the Anding Marquis family.

But Qi Yunge is different, her grandfather's family loves her very much, and she can't let go of such emotions.

In the lobby of the main courtyard of the second room, Shen Kangzhi sat on the main seat and looked at the name on the post in his hand, frowning slightly.

He looked at Shen Yanshu and asked, "Why did you choose Princess Zhaojun?"

"Princess Zhaojun is outstanding, her daughter admires her very much, and the last time I took the school exam, King Zhaojun took the initiative to help me win the first place in calligraphy, I feel very grateful, and I respect the husband and wife of Zhaojun, if I can invite the princess of the county as a guest, I am naturally happy. ”

Shen Yanshu's reasons are very good and can stand.

The guests of honor had to be invited by the girl's parents or elders in person, so no matter who they invited, they had to get Shen Kangzhi's consent first.

"Good. Shen Kangzhi said, "However, the people of the Zhaojun Mansion have never interacted with others very much, if the princess of the county does not agree, you must think of other candidates first." ”

"Daughter provincial. Shen Yanshu said.

Shen Yanshu naturally took this situation into account, so without revealing her identity, she prepared some gifts that her aunt liked.

As for the other guests, Shen Yanshu didn't plan to invite too much, and Ruan Leyao had a better relationship with her in Zhaode Hall, so she naturally wanted to be invited, as well as Weng Congyuan and Weng Congying, after all, they helped themselves a lot in the matter of the Qi family last time.

After all, he is a person who has experienced it once, and Shen Yanshu arranges it in an orderly manner, but he is happy.

When Shen Xi came over to help, Shen Yanshu had already arranged things.

Princess Zhaojun quickly agreed to be the guest, and even Shen Kangzhi was a little surprised.

In King Ning's Mansion, after getting the news of Shen Yanshu's arrangement and Lu Li, Yan Xiao was about to order someone to prepare gifts, but at this time he got the news that the county lord of Yining had been engaged.

"Who is it!" King Ning never thought that his proposal for marriage was rejected by Pei Yao, the prince of King Jing, several times, but he didn't expect that the county lord of Yining would be engaged to someone else so soon.

The person who reported the news continued: "The betrothed to the lord of Yining County is a fierce general under the prince of King Jing, and I heard that he is brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic. ”

"How can a puppet be compared to this king!" Yan Xiao said angrily.

Sun Ji stepped forward and said: "A mere young general, naturally he can't be compared with the prince, but how could King Jing's Mansion suddenly make such a decision, it is worth pondering." ”

Yan Xiao snorted coldly: "What else can I think about, Pei Yao boasts that he has some ability, but no one is in his eyes, not even this king is in his eyes, compared to Qi Yi, it is even better!"

"King Jing's Mansion has always been well-informed, although it is not in Chang'an, but it can see the situation in Chang'an very clearly, and it cannot be underestimated. Sun Ji said, "King Jing made such a decision so quickly, I'm afraid they received some news." ”

Being reminded by Sun Ji like this, Yan Xiao seemed to have just come back to his senses, originally he wanted to let the Shen family know through his mother that Shen Yanshu was the person he fancied, but the wind direction of Chang'an City was not at all as he imagined.

However, many people said that he intended to give the position of Princess Ning to the county lord of Yining, although this was indeed what he wanted in his heart, but under the influence of such public opinion, Pei Yao naturally wanted to make some moves.

"It doesn't matter if the relatives of King Jing's Mansion don't get married, now the position of the princess of King Jing is still vacant, and his father will not let him have a good time. ”

The emperor was seriously suspicious, and although King Jing was disabled, Pei Yao, the son of King Jing, was very good, and took care of the Southwest King Jing's Mansion better than before.

If the Jingwang Mansion with heavy troops continues to grow, it will only threaten the emperor, so no matter what, the position of the princess of King Jing, the emperor will definitely arrange someone he can trust.

"Then now that the county lord of Yining has promised to be married, what should the prince do?" Sun Ji asked.

On the day of Shen Yanshu and the ceremony, the king went in person. Yan Xiao said.

————

On the second floor of the Jade Pavilion, Shen Yanshu and the Song family were choosing the hairpins to be used on the day of the ceremony.

This Jade Xuan is the largest jewelry store in Chang'an City, and the jewelry in it is very good, but the price is slightly expensive, so there are not many customers in the store.

"Miss Shen, look at the color of this golden hairpin, it is very flattering to your complexion. The shopkeeper introduced a golden hairpin with peony flowers.

Song glanced at the price, three thousand taels, and it hurt.

She said to Shen Yanshu: "The ceremony is only one day, and you don't need to be so expensive, you can buy a good one for about seven hundred taels." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The jewelry on the second floor of our Jade Xuan is also a thousand taels, seven or eight hundred taels, and we can only go to the first floor to see." ”

Song said in his heart, no wonder there are so few people on the second floor.

She just wanted Shen Yanshu to go downstairs to take a look, when she heard Shen Yanshu say, "Three thousand taels is not too much, so let's pick it here." ”

Xiao Lu gave her a meeting gift of tens of thousands of taels, saying that she was in a hurry, and it was not good to bring any gifts, so she had to give some silver tickets and let her buy whatever she liked.

Tens of thousands of taels will be sent, Shen Yanshu really has to sigh that this uncle is too much.

After listening to Shen Yanshu's words, the shopkeeper instantly counted, this Miss Shen is a money-free master.

For a while, I introduced these jewelry to be more dedicated.

Shen Yanshu's eyes saw a silver hairpin, inlaid with white jade magnolia flowers, dotted with green gemstones, it looked fresh and natural, and it looked like a real magnolia flower from a distance.

Seeing Shen Yanshu's gaze stop at this magnolia hairpin, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, stepped forward and said: "Miss Shen is really a good eye, this hairpin can be regarded as the best of the best, and the price is fair, only five thousand taels." ”

"Five thousand taels!" Song exclaimed, "This is too pitiful, this hairpin looks good, but the materials are not as good as the three thousand taels just now, don't you think my niece is stupid and has a lot of money, coaxing!"

Although Song thinks these things are expensive, they are not unseen in the world, and the difference between jewelry can still be distinguished.
